Subject: Cubs @ Reds

After a couple of luckless games to begin the series, the Cubs' output finally approaches our talent level and we gratefully settle for a split....
 
 
Game 1: The early lead which we attained on Phil Cavarretta's 3-run homer was quickly erased by CHN starter Hank Wyse via a pair of 2-out hits in the CIN 4th.  The Cubs took advantage of a Cincy error to retake the lead, but the see-saw tilted back the other way seconds later when the Reds came up with yet another 2-out clutch hit and the teams were once again tied.
 
So the Cubs took another small lead, and this time HAL had seen enough.  He laser-beamed in on reliever Murry Dickson's weak spot, rolling column 6-6-6 for 3 hits in a row and another tie.  By this time, the Chicago manager had seen enough and replaced Dickson with Lon Warneke but it made no difference; the first batter Lon faced delivered the losing run. 
 
Final score: a 6-5 Cubbie choke, while the Reds remain 100% perfect in close decisions.
 
======================================================================
 
Game 2: The next three contests witnessed the CHN offense in LOB-o-matic mode, and today's 12-6 margin in that vital category (8 of the 12 abandoned in scoring position) nailed the Cubs' coffin shut.
 
Tiny Bonham got off to a good start for Chicago and took a 3-0 lead into the 6th, where it was rendered void by one swing of Hank Edwards' bat.  Surprisingly, the gopher came out to play with just 1 out in the inning instead of 2.
 
The totally undeserved defeat was sealed in the CIN 8th (blown-x, walk, walk, wild pitch, blown-x, walk) without any real effort from the home team at all.  Strangely undeterred, the CHN offense roared to life in the top of the 9th with 4 hits -- but a perfectly timed GIDP took place right in the middle of it and Lennie Merullo drew a "Cubbie Special" (20) split card on a hit chance to end the game and LOB 2 more RISP.
 
Final score: a 6-5 Cubbie choke, while the Reds remain 100% perfect in close decisions.
 
======================================================================
 
Games 3 & 4: The Cubs continued to leave boatloads of runners on the bases, but obtained complete-game efforts from two quality starters to avert complete disaster.  Staff ace Claude Passeau (1-1, 2.55) finally got win #1 of 1943 in a deceptive 9-2 victory in game 3 (4 late runs made it seem more one-sided than it really was), and Jesse Flores (3-0, 2.53) permitted nothing but unearned runs in an 8-3 win in the series finale.
 
Good-field, no-hit SS Merullo gave Marty Marion a few days off and exactly reversed his real-life skills, coming through with some hits but being every bit as hosed in the field as the rest of the most underachieving defense in the majors.
 
The CHN offense racked up 25 hits and 13 walks in the final two contests to go along with (and help achieve) our 22 LOB during that span.  The top of the order has begun to contribute: Stan Hack tripled and homered in game 4, and leadoff hitter Phil Cavarretta is beginning to hit his weight at last.
