St. Louis (4-3) / New York (1-6)

The Browns, regardless of what happens next game, has won this series -- something, most never expected, since St. Louis losing 3-1 to the Crawfords & losing to the 27' Yankees during the tournament. The Browns' Bob Muncrief found himself in trouble with bases loaded with no outs & Gehrig at the plate, Gehrig would hit into a force at home, which then Muncrief settled down and struck out Babe Ruth & Tony Lazzeri.

Muncrief allowed four hits & 1 ER during 8 innings of work, while also walking 5 batters. Urban Shocker allowed all his runs in his messy first inning (which also had 4 hits), he would settle down with 6 straight scoreless innings.

The Browns have now won 4 straight, and sit on top of their division at 4-3.
