Subject: Cubs @ Dodgers

Although the Cubs have only won 1 of 3 home series in 1951 and aren't likely to improve in that category very soon, we continue to play amazingly well away from the Friendly Confines in a rare change from the past few seasons. 
 
Only a near no-hitter by Ralph Branca in game 3 averted a Cubbie sweep....
 
 
Game 1: Chicago stranded runners galore in scoring position in what turned out to be a tight pitchers duel between Ted Gray and Robin Roberts.  Hank Sauer came through with a triple (stranded, of course) but also got the only type of hit we couldn't LOB: a solo home run in the 4th that held up for a 1-0 win.  Monk Dubiel (very good card, rotten luck like CHN relievers always) finally had a decent outing and earned the save.
 
 
Game 2: Today it was Brooklyn's turn to rack up the LOB count as both team's starters (Joe Hatten, Don Newcombe) dodged bullets, but not quite well enough to be around at the finish.  The Cubs blew a pair of leads and had to come from behind to tie the game 4-4 on Roy Smalley's homer in the 7th. 
 
Although HAL torched the CHN defense as usual throughout the series, it was an Eddie Waitkus error in the 10th on a bunt play that put 2 CHN runners in scoring position and Andy Pafko actually plated one of them; it was enough.  Final score: 5-4.  Ellis Kinder continues to be a Cy Young candidate by collecting wins like today despite not pitching effectively, and Dubiel got another save by registering a scoreless 10th.
 
 
Game 3: BRN starter Ralph Branca took a no-hitter into the 9th inning before allowing a couple of hits but no runs.  Final score: 3-0.  Ken Johnson had a quality outing for the visitors but got behind early and obviously received no offensive support at all.
 
 
Game 4: Struggling pitchers usually turn it around against the Cubs, but today Preacher Roe's woes continued.  He allowed 3 first-inning runs (2 of which we immediately returned, and the other one later) then broke open the 3-3 game by giving up a pinch-hit GRAND SLAM to Randy Jackson in the 6th.  Lou Sleater had a successful debut for the Cubs and Kinder notched 4 innings of scoreless (but very eventful) relief to seal up the 9-3 win.  
 
Every one of the 12 runs in this game scored on homers.
 
Alan
