Red Stockings Need Extras to Top Giants, Lead 1-0 in Series
When the games really matter, the Cincinnati Red Stockings put on their best show, beating the New York Giants by a final score of 9-7 today. Tony Mullane was 2 for 5 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Cincinnati now leads New York 1-0 in the best-of-7 affair.
The game was all tied up in the top of the 12th, until Mullane delivered big-time for Cincinnati, stroking a dramatic run-scoring triple off Bill George. The game-changing hit put the Red Stockings on top, 8-7.
"We put it together today and came out with the win," Mullane said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Polo Grounds in New York.

Giants Clip Red Stockings 5-4 in WCS Contest
Behind a bravura effort from starter Mickey Welch, the New York Giants topped the Cincinnati Red Stockings by the score of 5-4 today and got their first win in the 1888 World Championship Series. Welch threw 9.0 innings allowing 4 runs for the Giants. The win moves New York into a 1-1 tie with Cincinnati.
The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Roger Connor came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Cincinnati pitcher Mike Smith, he hit a 1-0 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 5-4.
"Mickey was throwing free and easy," said New York manager Jim Mutrie.
The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 23rd , 1888 at League Park in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in WCS
Tony Mullane pitched a gem to help the Cincinnati Red Stockings escape with a tight 2-0 victory over the New York Giants in a low-scoring World Championship Series contest today. The right-handed Mullane threw 9.0 innings of shutout ball in the win, just enough for the Red Stockings on a day when their offense dried up. Cincinnati now leads the best-of-7 series 2-1.
Mullane pitched a complete game for Cincinnati. The right-hander was charged with no runs on 4 hits. He struck out 4 during his 113-pitch performance.
"I just trusted my stuff," said Mullane.
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at League Park in Cincinnati.

Almost There: Cincinnati On Cusp of World Championship Series Triumph After 6-5 Win
A clutch 10th inning gave the Cincinnati Red Stockings a walk-off win over the New York Giants and a 3-1 lead in the World Championship Series at League Park today. Young right-hander Lee Viau, 22, pitched well for the Red Stockings. He threw 10.0 innings allowing 5 runs.
In the bottom of the tenth, Hugh Nicol had a chance to deal the knockout blow. And he did, punching a run-scoring single to center off New York pitcher Ed Crane.
"The game is never over 'til it's over," said a jubilant Gus Schmelz, the Cincinnati skipper.
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at League Park in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati 1888 World Championship Series Champions
It's party time in Cincinnati. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.
The Cincinnati Red Stockings have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 1888 World Championship Series today. They defeated the New York Giants 7-3 at League Park to officially wrap up the series 4-1.
Asked how it feels to be champion, starting pitcher Tony Mullane was to the point.
"It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions."
The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Cincinnati finished the regular season 86-51 and claimed first place in the American Association.
