Forbes Field
GAME 1
Borowy vs Strincevich
Pirates 7, Cubs 1
Bucs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first and never looked back. 3 more runs in the bottom of the 4th put the game out of reach for the Northsiders. Nick Strincevich (2-2, 3.99) went the distance and gave up 1 run on 5 hits. Frankie Colman was a perfect 4 for 4 at the plate with 3 RBI's and walk.
GAME 2
Derringer vs Ostermueller
Pirates 8, Cubs 7 (11 inn)
The Bucs had to rally twice to win this extra inning slugfest. First they had to come back from 2 runs down with 2 innings to go to tie the game. Then they had to comeback from a one run deficit in the bottom of the 11th after Cubbies scored in the top of the inning on a freak strike 'em out passed ball scenario. In the bottom of the 11th Babe Dahlgren grounded a seeing eyed single deep into the hole to score Colman to tie it. With 2 outs Cookie Cuccurullo lined a single up the middle to score Dahlgren and end it.
GAME 3
Signer vs Sewell
Pirates 5, Cubs 4
Pittsburgh looked to drop the hammer on the Cubbies early with a 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st. Chicago didn't fold up their tent and rallied to tie it with 2 runs in the 6th. The Bucs answered right back by scoring what would turn out to be the eventual winning run, in the bottom of the frame via a 2 out RBI double from Johnny Barrett.
GAME 4
Passeau vs Butcher
Pirates 8, Cubs 7
For the 3rd straight day the Cubbies came out on the short end of the ledger in a 1 run game. Pittsburgh's clutch 2 run 9th inning won the game in walk off fashion and sealed the series sweep. Frankie Zak's 2 run single with 1 out in the home half of the 9th won the game for the Bucs.
