World Series Game 1
Game 1: No surprise that this was a close game in which both teams played very well. The Tigers (1-0) were able to overcome an early deficit and a 43 minute rain-delay in the 7th inning to muster enough runs to top the Beaneaters (0-1) by a score of 4 to 3.
Detroit pitcher Doc White went the distance, allowing 3 earned runs on 7 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5 to finish with a Game Score of 65. Boston pitcher Vic Willis (0-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up 4 runs (3 earned) on 4 hits and 4 walks; Game Score of 59.
Mike Donlin had a tremendous day at the plate in the win (2 for 4, Home Run, 1 Run, 2 RBIs), while Jimmy Williams' effort (3 for 4, Double, 2 Triples, 2 Runs, 1 RBI) was for naught.
Player of the Game: Doc White
