1882 WORLD SERIES: BALTIMORE (AA) vs. BOSTON (NL)

Anson's 4-4 day highlights Red Caps win

Game 1: Boston opens the bottom of the first with 3 straight singles including a Cap Anson RBI single to take a 1-0 lead. In the 2nd inning, the trio of Wood-Meyerle-Anson hit three straight singles to give Boston a 2-0 lead. Baltimore ties it up in the top 3rd with 3 singles and 2 errors. Cap Anson added his 4th hit, a RBI single, in the bottom of the 8th. That’s all Jim Whitney would need as he rung up 6 batters as Boston won 4-2.

Sloppy Baltimore fielding and key Boston hitting allow Caps to win inaugural World Series

Game 2: Cap Anson opened up the scoring with his 5th hit of the series, a RBI single to put Boston up 1-0. In the second, a John O’Rourke triple followed by a Jim Whitney groundout nets Boston a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the 3rd, a Jimmy Wood error keys a 2 run Baltimore inning where they tie up the game at 2. In the 4th, a Baltimore error leads to Boston’s third run before Levi Meyerle bashes a 3 run double to put Boston up 6-2. Another Baltimore error in the inning leads to another run. The Red Caps tack on 3 more runs in the seventh building their lead to 10-2. After getting a run back in the seventh to make it 10-3, the Orioles would have back-to-back-to-back errors allowing Boston to score 3 more runs making it 13-3 in the eighth. Jim Whitney would handle the rest as he tossed his second straight gem of the series allowing Boston to capture the first ever World Series, 2 games to 0.

1883 WORLD SERIES: PHILADELPHIA (AA) vs. BOSTON (NL)

O'Brien has 4 hits, Mansell wins the game in 10

Game 1: Philadelphia takes a 1-0 lead in the 1^st inning on a Jack O’Brien single.Boston evens up the score at 1 on a George Hall sac fly in the 4^th. The score isn’t tied for long as Jimmy Say puts the Athletics in front with a 2 run triple in the bottom of the inning. A Bob Blakiston groundout nets the A’s 4^th run. In the top of the 5^th, Jersey Bakely got Beaneaters’ Cap Anson to pop up with the bases loaded for the 2^nd out. The next batter, Ross Barnes would knock in 2 runs on a single to cut the lead to 4-3. A careless play by George Hall allows the Athletics to score another run in the 5^th making it 5-3. After Jim Whitney led off the 7^th with a double, Jim O’Rourke singles him in cutting the lead to 5-4. Pinch hitter Levi Meyerle draws a walk to lead off the 9^th, advances to 2^nd on a sac bunt and ties up the game at 5 on a Jimmy Wood single. Philadelphia avoids any further disaster by turning a double play. After Dan Brouthers was out on a close play to begin the bottom of the 10^th, Jack O’Brien collects his 4^th hit of the game, a triple. Jimmy Say would then be intentionally walked. So, the Athletics called on pinch hitter John Mansell and he didn’t disappoint as he sent the fans home happy with a game-winning single giving the A’s a 6-5 opening game win.

Beaneaters stave off elimination, win wild affair 11-10

Game 2: Philadelphia opens up the game with 3 straight hits off Boston starter Will White, including a 2 run double by Dan Brouthers. Jimmy Say would knock his 2^nd triple in the series and John Farrow would send him in with a single. An error, steal, and groundout allows Boston to score their 1^st run. Boston gets men on 2^nd and 3^rd on two Philadelphia errors and pitcher Will White singles both home tying up the game at 3 in the 2^nd. Philadelphia goes back on top in the 3^rd on a Cap Anson error. Another Dan Brouthers’ double scor

Powderguy Major Leagues Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: PA Posts: 462	1882 Final Standings: National League & American Association 1882 WORLD SERIES: BALTIMORE (AA) vs. BOSTON (NL) Anson's 4-4 day highlights Red Caps win Game 1: Boston opens the bottom of the first with 3 straight singles including a Cap Anson RBI single to take a 1-0 lead. In the 2nd inning, the trio of Wood-Meyerle-Anson hit three straight singles to give Boston a 2-0 lead. Baltimore ties it up in the top 3rd with 3 singles and 2 errors. Cap Anson added his 4th hit, a RBI single, in the bottom of the 8th. That’s all Jim Whitney would need as he rung up 6 batters as Boston won 4-2. Sloppy Baltimore fielding and key Boston hitting allow Caps to win inaugural World Series Game 2: Cap Anson opened up the scoring with his 5th hit of the series, a RBI single to put Boston up 1-0. In the second, a John O’Rourke triple followed by a Jim Whitney groundout nets Boston a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the 3rd, a Jimmy Wood error keys a 2 run Baltimore inning where they tie up the game at 2. In the 4th, a Baltimore error leads to Boston’s third run before Levi Meyerle bashes a 3 run double to put Boston up 6-2. Another Baltimore error in the inning leads to another run. The Red Caps tack on 3 more runs in the seventh building their lead to 10-2. After getting a run back in the seventh to make it 10-3, the Orioles would have back-to-back-to-back errors allowing Boston to score 3 more runs making it 13-3 in the eighth. Jim Whitney would handle the rest as he tossed his second straight gem of the series allowing Boston to capture the first ever World Series, 2 games to 0. __________________ GREEN BAY PACKERS AND FLORIDA GATORS!!
