They scored again in the fifth inning on two singles, a sacrifice, and infield out, put the game on ice by scoring five runs in the seventh on Lester Dell's home run, two doubles, a single und Lazzeri’s error at first base Again in the ninth inning, a triple by .Soulhworth, and an infield out scored the last run.
