1903 World Series (Game 6)

Game 6 will be an interesting one. At one point, it appeared that Boston was on its way to a 4-1, series victory -- then came the bottom of the 7th in Game 5, a four-run inning that would be huge for Pittsburgh; The inning featured a surprise two-run homer off the bench by Joe Marshall and a two-run homer by player/manager Fred Clarke -- two plays that made Clarke look brilliant. Both Cy Young (Boston) and Sam Leever (Pittsburgh) will not be available for Game 6; Leever got hurt in Game 5, Young is being held over for a possible Game 7.

GAME 6 (at Boston (A))

Bucs' Wilhelm: Unlikely starter for Game 6.

The Pirates will have to ask a miracle performance from emergency starter Irvin Wilhelm (5-3, 3.24 ERA in 9 starts), as he will face off against Boston's Tom Hughes (20-7, 2.57 ERA); There's hope though, Hughes' last outing, lasted only two innings.

Bottom of the 1st - Jimmy Collins scores off a two-out single to left by Chick Stahl for Boston.

Top of the 2nd - Kitty Bransfield hits a one-out double to left-center, Jimmy Sebring bunts Bransfield down to third. Boston pitcher Tom Hughes would give up a mistake pitch to catcher Ed Phelps for his first hit of the series, a two-run blast to center. Pittsburgh 2, Boston 1

Ed Doheny comes in to relief Irvin Wilhelm, did exactly what was asked of him, holding the Americans to one run on six hits, he had one K, plus a walk. Doheny knocks down the Boston threat in the 5th Inning.

During the top of the 9th, Tommy Leach tacks on an insurance run, scoring in Honus Wagner from second on a single to left off of Bill Dinneen. Pittsburgh 3, Boston 1

With two outs during the bottom of the 9th, Hobe Ferris singles to right. The Pirates go to the pen for Deacon Phillippe to face switch-hitting George LaChance of Boston. LaChance with the checked swing, he went around!

The Pirates have forced a Game 7, after trailing the series, 3-1! But it won't come easy, as the man on the mound will be Boston's Cy Young (who has 3 wins this series)!
