1885 Centennial playoffs: Another Ohio battle for the Cup

CENTENNIAL CUP

Cincinnati - BYE

Cleveland 4, Newark 2 (CLE: Creighton 4-hitter)
Newark 6, Cleveland 4 (NWK: 6-run sixth)
Cleveland 5, Newark 4 (It looked like Forest City's season was going to end prematurely, as they were trailing, 5-4, going into the bottom of the ninth. But Cleveland struck back: after George Bird reached on an error and came all the way around on a Sy Sutcliffe double, Montgomery Scott* lined a double down the first base line to give Cleveland the win.

Boston 5, Philadelphia 3 (BOS: Tomas Gorman 2 H 2 RBI)
Philadelphia 14, Boston 7 (PHI: 20 hits; Bud Fowler 5 H 4 RBI)
Philadelphia 8, Boston 0 (PHI: Jim Whitney 3-hit shutout)

Cleveland 6, Philadelphia 1 (CLE: Creighton 5-hitter, 3 hits batting)
Cleveland 7, Philadelphia 4 (CLE: Creighton bases-clearing triple in 7th)
Cleveland 6, Philadelphia 4 (CLE: Creighton 4 H 2 RBI. Oh, and the sumbitch pitched and won the game, too)

*[Editor's note: The real Scott (first name unknown) played 13 games for Baltimore of the AA in 1884. (Yes, I named him "Montgomery". You're welcome, fellow Trekkies!]
