Do's and Don'ts for Pitchers
DON'T GET WILD WITH A MAN ON 3RD
Cubs score 3 times via wild pitches
When Cub hurlers uncork a wild one,
Sox don't score-- all 3 Cub WP's come
with man on 1st and no one else on
DON"T WALK THE PITCHER
Ed Walsh walks 3 times-- two of those walks lead to runs!
Orvie Overall walks, goes on to score!
Nick Altrock walks, and almost scores!
INTENTIONAL WALKS TO LOAD THE BASES
Sometimes it works, sometimes it backfires!
Sox walk Kling and Cubs score 2 more
Cubs walk Jiggs D, Sox go scoreless in frame

Pro's and Con's of baserunning
14 BASES SWIPED, 8 BY CUBS
Aggressive baserunnng pays off!
5 Cub base-stealers go on to score!
2 Sox stealers go on to score!
11 RUNNERS CAUGHT STEALING
Bad baserunning kills rallies!
4 Cub innings end prematurely by a
base-stealing failure
Sox end inning on a caught stealing
3 times
DOUBLE STEALS
Sox do it once, Patsy Dougherty to 2nd
as George Davis steals home
Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers do it twice;
Tinker nabs 3rd and Evers takes 2nd |
This series had
bases-loaded heroics and bases-loaded heartbreak, It had double plays, double steals, outfield assists and plays at the plate, passed balls and pickoffs and runners caught in rundowns, hit batters, bad bounces, lots of errors, and great pitching,
As a matter of fact it had everything BUT THE HOME RUN!
