Game 5.
The
fifth game saw a matchup of the game 1 starters. The Bombers struck first on Honus
Wagner’s 2nd home run of the series. And while the scoring was not
great in the early going,
For
his 20.2 innings of winning ball, including a complete game, series clinching
victory in Game 5, old Cy was awarded the Most Valuable Player honor. In those
20.2 innings, in just 2 games, Cy struck out 16,
walked but 4, and allowed only 3 earned runs. He did allow a rare home run, but
it was to Honus Wagner. Honorable mentions should be
made for Wee Willie, who went .400 with a home run, double and 5 rbis in just 3 games. And, on the Bombers, stellar
performances were rendered by Honus Wagner, who
batted .348 with 2 home runs and 5 rbi,
Bill Donovan, who won the only game taken by Broadway, and Frank Corridon, who appeared in three games while allowing only
one hit.
