The 55th ranked 1938 Yankees simply refuse to lose, as they dispatched the 26th ranked 1912 Giants in six games, and will now advance to the Elite Eight against the 1902 Pirates. Red Ruffing came up huge with 3 consecutive wins over Giants ace Rube Marquard, winning 8-5, 2-1, and 3-1 to snag MVP honours. The Bombers got back to back solo shots from DiMaggio and Dickey in the fourth inning and another solo shot from Lou Gehrig in the sixth inning all off Marquard in Game 6 to seal the fate of the Giants in the decisive game. The Yankees definitely were worthy winners this time as the Giants outerred them 13-8 and were outscored by the Bombers 21-15. Buck Herzog hit a walkoff RBI single in Game 2, while Joe Gordon propelled the Yankees to victory in Game 3 with a walkoff HR. The Giants survived a back and forth game in Game 5 to push it as far as it went, but after that the Yankees took control in Game 6 with ace Ruffing on the mound. Series recap follows below:
