Game Three: Cincinnati 7, Boston 6
As the Series moves to Cincinnati, the National League pennant winners move to within one victory of the championship. The Reds scored twice in the bottom of the ninth off Ralph Glaze, sending the hometown crowd into a frenzy. Seldom-used Walt Slagle, starting in place of Del Mason, earned the victory. O'Farrell's bat woke up somewhat, as he went 2-4 with a run scored and an RBI, singling home Harry Hooper in the fifth inning.
Game Four: Boston 8, Cincinnati 1
Facing elimination, the Sox rallied back behind Pruiett, scoring three times in the first inning and never looking back. Pat had his best game of the Series, doubling and singling twice in five trips to the plate, scoring a run and driving one in.
Game Five: Boston 6, Cincinnati 2
The Series will return to Boston, as the AL champions' bats keep singing. Winter was the winning pitcher, Dubuc the loser. Pat went 1-4 (single), but drew a walk, stole a base, and scored twice.
Game Six: Boston 4, Cincinnati 2
Ralph Glaze pitched a gutsy game, scattering 10 hits, while his teammates made the most of their 7 tallies. Pat singled in four trips, with another base on balls.
