Roberts vs. Hoeft, a rematch of Game 1
Scoring opens in the bottom of the 2nd. Eddie Robinson singles Paula triples and Gene Freese
dribbles a ball to the infield scoring Carlos. 2-0 Arsenal. Rosen doubled scoring Freese.
After a groundout moved Rosen to 3rd McMillan hit a sacrifice fly to cap a 4-run inning. In
the top of the 3rd, after Roberts popped out, Mays tripled and Piersall singled him home.
McDougald walked and Houtteman threw a wild pitch moving the runners to 2nd and 3rd. Ted Kluzewski
was intentially walked to load the bases. It was looking like a big inning for the Muck Dogs, but
after a sac fly by Furillo scored Piersall, Groat popped out to end the inning. Arsenal 4-2.
Hoeft then shut down the vaunted Muck Dog offense before getting into trouble in the 7th.
Shepard singled and Ron Jackson (former Arsenal) PH for Roberts and singled. Mays singled scoring
Shepard and sending Art to the showers. Ernie Johnson got 2 outs befor Big Klu singled home the
tieing run before getting the final out. Game tied at 4. Johnson allowed 2 singles to start the
8th before striking out PH Newcombe and inducing PH Simpson to popout. Mays stepped up to the
plate and hit a stinging liner to Mantle in CF for the final out. Sturdivant came on in the bottom
of the 8th and Philley singled. Mantle then took Tom deep for a 2-run shot to put the Arsenal up 6-4.
Burgess followed with a homer and one more run scored on an error by Furillo. 8-4 Arsenal.

SPB3-1955 World Series GAME 5
Game 5: Arsenal surprisingly up 3 games to 1.
Newcombe vs. Ford
Muck Dogs score 2 in the first as Mays singled, then stole second. Piersall homered. 2-0 Muck Dogs.
In the bottom of the second, Lopata led off with a fly out. Paula singled and Freese flied out. Hank
Thompson booted Al Rosen's grounder. Whitey Ford stepped to the plate and blasted a 3-run homer. 3-2
Arsenal. Muck Dogs threatened in the 5th with singles by Shepard and Newcombe set the table for Mays.
Mays lined a single but Paula gunned down Shepard at the plate and Whitey got the next 2 batters to
end the threat. Muck Dogs tied it in the 6th on a homer by Klu. Arsenal came right back and plated
4 in the bottom of the 6th on run-scoring double by Burgess and a 2-run triple by Paula. Freese
doubled home Carlos to end the scoring. Arsenal led 7-3. Muck Dogs scored a single run in the 7th
and knocked out Ford with another in the 8th. Dorish stopped the rally. Arsenal 7-5 after 8. Abrams
homered in the 8th to make it 8-6 Arsenal. Muck Dogs got 2 on in the bottom of the 9th but Big Klu
flied out to end the game. Arsenal 8-5 and the World Series win!
W Ford (2-0) Save Dorish (1) L Newcombe (0-2) HR: Muck Dogs: Piersall (3) Kluzewski (1) Arsenal: Ford (1) Abrams (1)
This was a surprising win for the Arsenal. During the season, Arsenal hitters would shut down for
several games in a row. This did not happen in these 5 games as the Arsenal scored 39 runs against
a good pitching staff. The batting and pitching lines are below.
Batting:
Arsenal: .289-.363-.544, 7 2B 6 3B and 9 HR. 39 runs
Muck Dogs: .287-.380-.442, 2 2B 1 3B and 8 HR. 30 runs
Pitching:
Arsenal: 5.32 ERA, 52 hits and 27 walks! in 44 IP. 4 unearned runs
Muck Dogs: 7.07 ERA, 52 hits and 20 walks in 42 IP. 6 unearned runs.
Mays was the best hitter for South River with 8 hits in 19 AB, a triple, 2 HR, 9 runs scored and 5
driven in. Piersall was 8-23 with 3 HR and 9 RBI.
For the Arsenal, Philley was 12-22 with a 2B, HR and 5 RBI. Paula went 9-19 with a 2B, 2 3B, a HR
and 6 runs scored. Mantle was 5-19 but hit a 2B, 3B and 2 HR and drove in 7 runs. By a narrow margin,
with 2 game winning hits, The Mick is the MVP!
So, congratulations go out to Terry and His Arsenal for his rather convincing win over the vaunted
highly favored Muckdogs, (as odds were made by those Vegas bookies.) managed by Joe DeZarlo.
Quite a turnaround series to two solid managers! This was a repeat performance of teams from 1954,
when the Muckdogs ended up on top. And thanks to Terry for some really well written game reports!!
