White Sox: 3 Cubs: 0 (Sox lead 2-1)
WP: Walsh (1-0)
LP: Pfiester (0-1)
The Cubs unleashed their offense on the White Sox in Game 2. The Sox hoped Big Ed Walsh could turn the tide in Game 3. The third year player went 17-13 during the season. In 1908, he won 40 games in his Hall of Fame career. Jack Pfeister opposed Walsh. Pfeister won 20 games in 1906. He won 20, 14, 12, and 17 from 1906-1909 and 8 games the other four years of his career. At the time, the Cubs seemed to hold the advantage.
Neither team could dent the scoreboard until the sixth. Lee Tannehill singled for the Sox. Pfeister inexplicably walked Walsh and then hit Ed Hahn to load the basis with none out. The pitcher settled down to get the next two outs, but then surrendered a three-run triple to Greg Rohe. That proved to be the ballgame. Sox won 3-0 to take a 2-1 series lead.
Both pitchers tossed complete games. Pfeister allowed 4 hits, 3 earned runs, walked 2, and struckout 9. The leadoff walk followed by the hit batter proved his undoing. Walsh 2-hit the Cubs and struck out a World Series record 12 batters. Bill Dinneen held the record with 11 K's in 1903.
