Brewers seize the crown in ninth-inning thriller
WASHINGTON, OCT. 16. — Down a run entering the final inning of Game Seven, Milwaukee staged a three-run rally to steal the championship from Washington. Ira Flagstead drove in two with the decisive single, and the Brewers survived a late Nationals answer to win, 4–3.
Elsewhere, Babe Ruth rewrote the home run record with 64, while Washington’s Dick Redding won 27 games and posted a 1.55 ERA.
