One bad inning proved the difference in today’s game between the 1934 New York Giants and the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals scored early when Frankie Frisch drove in Sparky Adams with a single in the 1st, and scored on Chick Hafey’s sacrifice fly later in the inning. Charlie Gelbert’s throwing error in the 3rd led to an unearned run for the Giants to cut the lead to 2-1. It was in the 5th that the Cardinals broke things open against Hal Schumacher. Hafey drew a bases-loaded walk, and Pepper Martin followed with a 2-run double on the way to a 5-run inning for St. Louis that saw all 9 hitters come to the plate. While Schumacher didn’t allow another hit, the damage was done. New York had some opportunities, stranding the bases-loaded with one out in the 5th, but Syl Johnson pitched around many of the tough spots he found himself in. The Giants scored 2 runs in the 7th for his final inning, and then a run in the 8th and 9th against reliever Jesse Haines. But Gus Mancuso flew out with the tying run on 2nd and the Cardinals won it 7-5 to take the 1st game of the series. Frisch finished 3 for 4. Johnson picked up his 2nd win of the Tournament. Bill Terry was 4 for 5 with 2 RBI in the losing effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
