Subject: Cubs @ Dodgers

After the series opening game, which evoked considerable nostalgia for Cub fans, order was restored....
 
 
Game 1: Though most of his teammates are performing up to par, starting pitcher Hank Wyse continues to struggle and today the roof fell in entirely.  Chicago's top-rated defense also went to pieces, but the 4 errors and numerous other blown-x plays had only a slight impact on the outcome.
 
The contest was actually scoreless through 3 innings, but three consecutive 2-out singles put Brooklyn on top by the count of 2-0 in the 4th; a 3-base howler by a low-e-rating OF with -- of course -- 2 outs in the 5th gave the home team 2 unearned runs and we donated one more unearned marker in the 7th, along with 3 earned ones.
 
Not done yet, another pair of 2-out ribbies in the BRN 8th finally closed the book on the 11-0 rout.  With the Dodgers getting every possible loaded column (all series long) the Cubs got not a thing but empties against the eminently hittable Marino Pieretti (and much of the rest of the series), who pitched a highly unlikely 2-hitter.
 
========================================================
 
Game 2: Jesse Flores has been nearly perfect for the Cubs so far this season, and his record remains so (7-0) but today was not his strongest outing.  Flores permitted 8 baserunners and 1 run in an atypically brief 6 inning stint.
 
Turning the tables on the Dodgers, the Cubs took advantage of an error, got some 2-out hits of our own, and took a 2-0 lead before Brooklyn turned them right back with a 2-out RBI in the 6th.
 
The Cubs extended the lead with a pair of runs in the 7th (aided by another error) and Chuck Workman's 11th home run of the season sealed up the 5-1 win in the 9th.  Chicago was outhit 10-8, but Flores and Ray Prim got the Dodgers to LOB 12.  Prim's excellent card was of little use to him today, as HAL zeroed in on hits everywhere else, but he kept the Dodgers off the board.
 
========================================================
 
Game 3: CHN starter Paul Derringer had a miserable outing (7.2 IP, 15 baserunners) but it was all singles and walks and Brooklyn LOBbed almost as much as the Cubs did.
 
They also scored more than we did, and had a 5-3 lead in the 9th when Jim Russell's 2-run homer tied things up (a dramatic feat normally reserved only for Cubbie opponents).
 
Rejuvenated by the comeback, Sal Maglie had a solid outing and recorded his first win as a Cub after we plated a pair in the 10th before LOBbing a couple more RISP.  Final score: 7-5.
 
========================================================
 
Game 4: Ace hurler Claude Passeau has struggled nearly as much as Hank Wyse so far in '45, but Passeau took control today by winning a 6-hitter by the score of 6-2.
 
The contest was MUCH closer than the final score indicates (though it shouldn't have been; CHN had 11 LOB, BRN 4), with the Cubs taking a mere 2-1 lead into the 9th before attacking Cy Buker for 6 baserunners and 4 runs -- all 4 of them unearned.  Passeau gave back a triple & a sac fly in the bottom of the frame but kept his poise and permitted no further shenanigans.
 
In this series, MVP candidate Phil Cavarretta was especially good at finding empty columns (as were all Cub hitters) or missing golden opportunities in loaded columns (as were all Cub hitters), being held to a 3 for 15 performance.
