1926 World Series – Game Six
October 9, 1926 at Yankee Stadium
Cardinals 10, Yankees 2  Best of Seven Series Tied 3-3

The Cardinals entered Yankees Stadium needing a win to keep their championship hopes alive and they came through in grand fashion.  The Cardinals picked up three quick runs in the top of the first and while that was all they’d need because of another outing by Grover Alexander, they’d eventually run up the score with ten runs.

Les Bell had a huge game for the cardinals.  He had three hits including the the only homerun of the game, and he drove in four runs.  Billy Southworth doubled and tripled and he scored three times and Rogers Hornsby drove in three runs in the blowout win.

Alexander won his second game of the post season.  He gave up only two runs on eight hits and two walks with six strikouts.

Game seven was tomorrow.  It all comes down to this final game.
