SPB3-1948 World Series GAME 3 Game 3: Brooklyn at Kansas City (Griffith Stadium) Larry Jansen (20-10, 3.80 ERA) at Phil Marchildon (9-11, 4.32 ERA) A must win situation for Kansas City as falling down 3-0 would be devastating. They got out of the gate quick, taking a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st on a 2-run double by Campanella followed by an RBI single by MCormick. Marchildon was at the top of his game for 7 innings, allowing only 4 hits and 1 run while striking out 7. Neither Lombardi or Chipman allowed a hit in the inning each pitched and the Blues took game 3 by a score of 4-2. Home cooking worked and St. Louis were now only down 1-2. 10/3/1948, BRK48-KCB48, Griffith Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1948 Royal Giants 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 1 11 1 1948 Blues 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 x 4 8 1 5 0 Royal Giants AB R H BI AVG Blues AB R H BI AVG Ashburn cf 5 0 1 0 .538 Pesky 3b 4 0 1 0 .154 Mitchell lf 5 0 0 0 .300 Majeski ss 4 1 1 0 .231 DiMaggio J rf 3 0 0 0 .250 Brown lf 3 2 3 0 .500 Stephens V ss 4 1 1 0 .231 Sisler 1b 3 0 0 0 .300 Waitkus 1b 3 0 1 1 .364 Gordon J 2b 3 1 0 0 .182 Gordon S 3b 4 0 0 0 .091 Campanella c 4 0 1 2 .333 Niarhos c 2 0 1 0 .333 McCormick M rf 3 0 2 2 .500 Filipowicz ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Chapman cf 3 0 0 0 .000 Franks c 0 0 0 0 .000 Marchildon p 3 0 0 0 .000 Murtaugh 2b 3 0 0 0 .500 Lombardi p 0 0 0 0 .000 Jansen p 1 0 0 0 .000 Chipman p 0 0 0 0 .000 Kiner ph 0 0 0 0 .250 30 4 8 4 31 1 4 1 Royal Giants INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Jansen L 0-1 8.0 8 4 3 2 7 119 78 3.38 8.0 8 4 3 2 7 119 78 Blues INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Marchildon W 1-0 7.0 4 1 1 7 1 131 75 1.29 Lombardi H 1 1.0 0 0 0 1 1 11 6 0.00 Chipman S 1 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 11 7 10.80 9.0 4 1 1 8 3 153 88 BRK: Filipowicz batted for Niarhos in the 8th Franks inserted at c in the 8th Kiner batted for Jansen in the 9th E-Gordon S, Pesky. 2B-Ashburn(1), Stephens V(1), Waitkus(2).

SPB3-1948 World Series GAME 5 Game 5: Brooklyn at Kansas City (Griffith Stadium) Vic Raschi (15-9, 4.06 ERA) at Ken Raffensberger (11-4, 3.49 ERA) Brooklyn’s Vic Raschi was cruising while his offense was putting up runs. Giants had an 11-1 lead until the Blues exploded for 6 in the 8th to make it 11-7. They added another in the 9th, but it wasn’t enough. Joe DiMaggio doubled and hit a pair of homers for Brooklyn while Hank Majeski homered twice for Kansas City. Brooklyn takes the series 4-1. Congrats to Rich on a good season. Tough losing it at home. 10/5/1948, BRK48-KCB48, Griffith Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1948 Royal Giants 1 2 0 3 0 4 1 0 0 11 12 0 11 1 1948 Blues 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 6 1 8 10 5 4 1 Royal Giants AB R H BI AVG Blues AB R H BI AVG Ashburn cf 5 2 2 2 .455 Pesky 3b 5 1 2 1 .174 DiMaggio J rf 6 2 3 4 .348 Majeski ss 5 3 3 4 .273 Gordon S 3b 5 1 1 2 .105 Brown lf 4 1 0 0 .333 Kiner lf 5 1 1 1 .222 Sisler 1b 4 1 2 0 .389 Stephens V ss 4 1 1 0 .273 Gordon J 2b 3 0 0 1 .167 Murtaugh 2b 4 1 2 0 .467 Campanella c 3 0 0 0 .250 Waitkus 1b 4 1 0 0 .211 McCormick M rf 4 0 2 2 .389 Lupien ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Chapman cf 2 0 0 0 .000 Niarhos c 3 2 2 0 .385 Grove p 0 0 0 0 .000 Raschi p 4 0 0 1 .000 Haas ph 2 1 0 0 .000 Fowler p 0 0 0 0 .000 Kush p 0 0 0 0 .000 Harris C p 0 0 0 0 .000 Raffensberger p 1 0 0 0 .000 Brazle p 0 0 0 0 .000 Wertz cf 3 1 1 0 .600 41 11 12 10 36 8 10 8 Royal Giants INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Raschi W 1-0 7.1 8 7 7 2 4 104 67 9.22 Fowler 0.0 0 0 0 1 0 6 2 0.00 Harris C 1.1 2 1 1 0 2 19 13 2.70 Brazle 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0.00 9.0 10 8 8 3 6 131 83 Blues INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Raffensberger L 0-2 5.2 6 7 3 3 2 91 55 4.61 Grove 2.1 6 4 3 3 0 50 24 11.57 Kush 1.0 0 0 0 1 0 11 5 0.00 9.0 12 11 6 7 2 152 84 BRK: Lupien batted for Waitkus in the 8th Lupien moved to 1b in the 8th KCB: Wertz inserted at cf in the 6th Haas batted for Grove in the 8th E-Pesky, Sisler 2, Gordon J, Raffensberger. 2B-DiMaggio J(3), Pesky(1).
