The 1927 Yankees barely survived against the 1910 Athletics 4 games to 3, after being down 3-1 in the series and 4-2 after 7 and a half innings in Game 7. It's very hard to explain how the Yankees came out on top in this series, as they made 20 errors to the Athletics' 5, and were outscored 32-24, but I guess they were good enough when they had to be, and they will move on to the Elite Eight to face the 1954 Yankees in a Yankee-Yankee showdown. Earle Combs picked up MVP honours after batting .400/.483/.600 with 4 RBI for the series. This series totally left me scratching my head, as the Yankees simply did not play well enough to win, but they did anyway with a 6-5 comeback win in Game 7. A very close series, but not a classic by any means, with the winners making 20 errors and being outscored by a wide margin. Game 7 box score in two parts, as well as the Game Log of the fateful bottom of the eighth inning which the Athletics would rather forget about, plus the Series Recap:
