Mel Ott hit his tournament-leading 5th home run, and the Giants took a 4-0 lead into the 4th. Pepper Martin led off a 3-run inning for the Cardinals with a solo homer and added a game-tying RBI double in the next inning. The teams traded runs over the next few innings. In the 8th, for the 2nd time in the game, Martin gunned down a Giants runner at the plate, this time to end the inning. Cardinals reliever Jim Lindsey pitched out of a jam in the 9th to keep the game tied at 6. Chick Hafey led off the bottom half with a single, and Jim Bottomley hit a walk-off double in the gap to take the series for the Cardinals. They&#8217;ll face the 1935 Chicago Cubs tomorrow, while the Giants will face the 1939 Reds in the Loser&#8217;s Bracket. Lefty O&#8217;Doul was injured running to 1st in the 5th inning. His replacement Johnny Vergez hit a solo shot in his 1st at-bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB30s\/Scoresheets\/09-14-2023_NYG_STL.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'34 Giants @ '31 Cardinals - 9\/14\/23\">&#8217;34 Giants @ &#8217;31 Cardinals &#8211; 9\/14\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A deciding Game 5 between the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals, billed as a matchup of aces Carl Hubbell and Bill Hallahan, turned into an offensive show.
