The Cubs had swept the 1939 Cincinnati Reds in the 1st round. Grimes allowed just a run in the 1st 6 innings to give St. Louis a chance to build a lead. Pepper Martin got the scoring going against Bill Lee, hitting a solo home run to lead off the 4th. The Cardinals built a 5-1 lead, scoring 2 runs in the 5th and 6th innings. Billy Jurges made a costly error in the 8th that lead to two more St. Louis runs. Phil Cavaretta hit a 2-run single to cut the lead to 7-4, but that&#8217;s as close as Chicago would get, as reliever Hugh Casey allowed 4 hits and walked 3 in a 4-run 9th. Jimmie Wilson went 3 for 5 and drove in 3 RBI for the Cardinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB30s\/Scoresheets\/09-15-2023_STL_CHC.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'31 Cardinals @ '35 Cubs - 9\/15\/23\">&#8217;31 Cardinals @ &#8217;35 Cubs &#8211; 9\/15\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burleigh Grimes earned his 1st win of the tournament, as the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals battered the 1935 Chicago Cubs 11-4 at Wrigley Field to hand them their 1st loss.
