GAME 4 The Vet Philadelphia: (PHI 3, CLE 2)
Another 3-2 game, this time the Phils were the victors to even the series
and put some fear into the dominant Tribe. Dick Ruthven, who had been battling fatigue problems, pitched into the 8th before yielding to the pen. Garber got one out in the 9th for his second save of the series. Luzinski returned to the lineup and hit a mammoth 2 run shot to stake Philly to a 2-0 lead in the first. In the top of the 8th the Tribe scored 2 to tie the game. Larry Doby doubled home Jim Hegan, who led the inning off with a single. Player/manager Lou Boudreau hit a sac fly to left to score PH Peck. Keltner was then intentionally passed and Joe Gordon ended the rally by grounding weakly to Mike Schmidt at 3rd. With 2 out in the bottom of the frame Ted Sizemore hit a flare to right center, which Doby butchered and subsequently allowed Sizemore to get into scoring position. Schmitty stepped up and delivered what would turn out to be the game winning hit a liner to left that plated Sizemore.
GAME 5 The Vet Philadelphia: (CLE 6, PHI 2)
GAME 6 Municipal Stadium Cleveland: (CLE 5, PHI 3)
In a re-match of game 2 starters,
The Phightin's pinned their series hopes on the left arm of one Steve Carlton. Lefty didn't have his best stuff tonight as the Tribe jumped on him for 4 runs in the first 2 innings. Carlton struggled all game to find the strike zone and eventually gave way to Tug McGraw in the 6th. McGraw allowed Cleveland to add an insurance run that inning and the Tribe never looked back. Feller didn't have his "A" game, but he pitched better than his counterpart and allowed only 3 runs in 8 innings of work. Satchel Paige came on and pitched a scoreless 9th to clinch the series for the Indians. Larry Bowa had 3 hits in the losing effort. Larry Doby hit a 2 run shot in the first to start the scoring. Edwards and Dale Mitchell knocked in key runs in the second to put the Tribe up 4-2 at that point. Bake McBride's sac fly in the 6th, which scored Sizemore, drew Philly to within one run, but the Tribe answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame. The dominant Indians withstood everything the upstart Phils could throw at them to take the series 4 games to 2.
