10/4/1922 – GAME 1 SENATORS 0 - DODGERS 1
David Brent and Hollis Dyson treated the crowd to a battle of wills as they held the bats on each side scoreless for the first six inngs. Gene Lassiter uncorked a solo shot in the 7th to put Brooklyn up 1-0 and that was all she wrote.
10/5/1922 – GAME 2 SENATORS 7 - DODGERS 3
The Senators evened the series at one game apiece with the help of a homer and 3 RBI off the bat of Elmo Cassidy and 2 RBI from Joe Jachimowicz. On the mound Dominic "The Dominator" Abbruzzese contributed by holding the Dodgers to 3 runs.
10/7/1922 - GAME 3 DODGERS 8 - SENATORS 5
Brooklyn's Earl Knox took the bull by the horns and nearly singlehandedly won Game 3 , smashing a double, a triple, and capping it off with a grand slam in the 8th off aging legend Jurgen Verherrsch to break open a 4-4 tie.
10/8/1922 - GAME 4 DODGERS 10 - SENATORS 5
Jim Dane must have had an extra shot of whiskey before the game as he put on one of the greatest offensive shows in postseason history, treating Washington "ace" Hollis Dyson like a redheaded stepchild. He went 4 for 5 with two 3-run bombs, accounting for 7 RBI. Earl Knox and Rod Luedke each launched shots out of the park as well. Brooklyn leads 3 games to 1 now.
10/9/1922 - GAME 5 DODGERS 3 - SENATORS 10
The Senators staved off elimination by getting out to an 8-0 lead after 2 innings. Elmo Cassidy launched 3rd homer of the series and knocked in 5 runs to lead the way.
10/11/1922 – GAME 6 SENATORS 5 - DODGERS 11
After each team scored 3 runs in the 1st inning, Washington pulled ahead with RBI off the bats of Royal Chesterfield and Larry Abercrombie and they looked as if they had the game in hand, ready to send it to a final showdown in a 7th contest. It was not to be, however, as the Dodgers regained their composure, scoring 8 unanswered runs. Joey Cola sparked the comeback with 2 taters and 5 RBI giving the Dodgers their first World Series crown.
