1905 World Series
Rube Waddell shut down the Pirates in game one as the Indians led 2-0 going into the top of the 9th. After an error would eventually lead to the Pirates getting on the board with a wild pitch he would slam the door shut as the Indians take game one by a score of 2-1.
Game two would be almost a carbon copy of game one with Harry Howell shutting them down this time and the Indians win 2-1 to take a 2-0 series lead.
As we move to Pittsburgh one trend would continue. The Pirates would not score in the first 8 innings of the game. This time they would trail 11-0 but would score a meaningless two run for the 11-2 final. The Indians are now one game away from the championship.
The Pirates lead 6-4 going into the 9th inning behing Red Ames. Bill Bradley would reach on an error to lead off the 9th. Roger Bresnahan follows with a single. Claude Ritchey would triple as both runners score to tie the game 6-6. Two batters later pitcher Harry Howell would single home Ritchey to give the Indians a 7-6 lead. The game would be 7-6 going into the bottom of the 9th where Howell retired the Pirates in order and the Indans win the World Series.
Indians win World Series 4-0
