George Watkins got the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals on the board early, with a solo home run off 1935 Chicago Cubs starter Charlie Root in the 1st. The Cubs put together a run of their own on a sacrifice fly by Gabby Hartnett in the bottom of the inning. After that, it was all Cardinals, as Root didn’t have any kind of answer for the St. Louis offense. His day was ended when Watkins hit his 2nd homer of the game, a 2-run shot with 2 outs in the 6th to give the Cardinals an 8-1 lead. But St. Louis added another run off Clyde Shoun, and 4 more in the 9th off Hugh Casey. Watkins finished 4 for 6 with 2 homers, a triple, and 4 RBI. Chick Hafey was also 4 for 6, adding a homer and 3 RBI. St. Louis finished with 22 runs in the 13-1 thrashing. St. Louis starter Syl Johnson had another amazing start, allowing just 1 run on 4 hits in another complete game. Johnson is 4-1 with a 3.12 ERA in the Tournament. Other than Roy Henshaw, Cubs pitchers allowed 23 runs in 12 1\/3 innings of relief. St. Louis advances to face the Philadelphia Athletics in the Best of the 1930s World Series, a matchup of the real life 1931 Series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
