1908 World Series Game 3

Detroit: 8 Chicago: 3 (Cubs lead 2-1)

W: Mullin (1-0)

L: Pfiester (0-1)
The Tigers finally won a World Series game. They had been 0-6-1 in their previous seven outings. They could have won the first two games of the 1908 World Series. Ty Cobb willed the Tigers to the victory in Game 3. He had four hits and two steals in the win. The Georgia Peach singled in the first run of the game in the opening frame. Chicago rallied for three in the fourth for a 3-1 lead. Detroit exploded for five in the sixth with Sam Crawford and Cobb each driving in a run. They tacked on two in the eighth for the final margin. George Mullin pitched a complete game for the Tigers. Jack Pfeister allowed eight runs, seven earned, in eight innings for the loss. Ed Reulbach finished up in the ninth.
