[b:2c46b5f516]Vaughan's 10th inning double lifts Pirates[/b:2c46b5f516]
Arky Vaughan doubled with one out and two on in the bottom of the 10th to give the Pirates a 5 - 4 victory over Detroit in game two of their division series. The victory gives the Pirates a commanding two games to none lead as the series moves to Detroit for game three. The Tigers have to feel they let one slip away, as they gave up 2 unearned runs on 3 errors and coughed up an early three run lead.
Detroit was able to jump out to an early lead on Eddie Mathews three-run homer in the first. But the Pirates started chipping away immediately, as Honus Wagner singled to left against Dean Chance to drive in Paul Waner with the first Pittsburgh run of the game. Big Poison had three hits on the day, including a single during the game winning rally in the 10th.
The Bucs used a pair of unearned runs in the third to tie the game. They loaded the bases on errors by Willie Horton and Donie Bush sandwiched around a walk to Wagner. Pie Traynor brought in one run with a sacrifice fly, and after Bill Mazeroski hit into a fielder's choice, Kitty Bransfield singled in Wagner to tie the game at three.
Mazeroski's solo home run in the 7th put the Pirates ahead for the first time, but the Tigers came right back with a run in the top of the 8th on Ray Boone's double to center against Chick Brandom. Despite blowing the save, Brandom (1-0) came away with the win, going 3 innings while allowing only Boone's double and a walk to Larry Doby in the ninth.
Dean Chance (0-1) took the loss, but left everything he had on the field. The Tiger starter threw 157 pitches in 9 1/3 innings, allowing 5 runs, 3 of them earned. He left with one out in the 10th and runners on first and second, giving way to Daryl Patterson who gave up Vaughan's game winning hit after only 5 pitches.

Deacon Phillippe (1-0) went 7 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 5 hits and 3 walks to lead the Pirates to a 4 - 3 win over the Detroit Tigers in game one of their division series. Chick Brandom got the final four outs while allowing one run to earn his first save of the post season. Ralph Kiner and Pie Traynor each homered for Pittsburgh.

Wilhelm retired all eight batters he faced, striking out four. The Orioles scored 2 unearned runs in the top of the ninth for the win. Lou Boudreau committed back to back errors to put runners on second and third with no one out and Willie Keeler followed with a two-run single to left. Boudreau, who committed only 13 errors during the season and was the runner up for the gold glove award at short stop, was not available for comment after the game. Addie Joss (0-1) allowed 11 hits and 2 walks over 8 innings in the loss.
[i:2c46b5f516]Indians 7 Orioles 6[/i:2c46b5f516]
Hoyt Wilhelm (1-1), the hero of game one, was the goat in game 2. The Baltimore reliever came on with one on and one out in the 7th with the Orioles leading 5 to 4. He immediately gave up a double to Earl Averill follwed by a George Hendrick two-run single, giving the Indians a 6 to 5 lead. In all Wilhelm allowed 2 runs in 2 2/3 innings and allowed the only runner he inherited to score. Early Wynn (1-0) got the win for Cleveland, allowing 5 runs (3 earned) in 8 innings. Ray Narleski pitched the ninth, allowing one run while collecting his first save.

[b:2c723cf6da]Pirates sweep Tigers[/b:2c723cf6da]
With the wind blowing out at Briggs Stadium, the Pirates took game 3 of their division series with the Tigers 11 - 9 to complete the sweep and advance to the championship series. Twenty-one game winner Doyle Alexander (0-1) got the start for the Tigers in a do or die game, but left after recording only 4 outs with his team trailing 8 - 0.
In a game that saw 20 runs scored and 6 balls leave the yard, none of the pitchers fared well. Pirate starter Sam Leever lasted only two innings, giving up 5 runs. Pittsburgh reliever Roy Sanders (1-0) went the final 3 2/3, allowing only one run (despite seeing the tying run get to second base with two out in the 8th), to get the win.
Honus Wagner tripled and homered, driving in 3 and scoring 3 for the Pirates. Lloyd Waner had 3 hits for the Pirates and Larry Parrish had 3 hits for the Tigers.

Heinie Manush had 3 hits and scored 2 runs for the Orioles. Eddie Murray came through with a two-run single in the fourth to give Baltimore a 3 - 2 lead. An inning later Manush tripled in a run and scored on Frank Robinson's sacrifice fly to complete the scoring.
Mike Morgan (1-0) allowed 2 runs on a Travis Fryman home run, but otherwise held the Indians at bay for the win. Hoyt Wilhelm got the last 7 outs for the save. Rick Waits (0-1) went the distance for Cleveland in a losing effort.
[i:2c723cf6da]Orioles 2 Indians 1[/i:2c723cf6da]
General Crowder, Roger McDowell and Tippy Maritnez combined on a 4 hitter to lead the Orioles to a 2 - 1 victory over the Indians in game three of the division series at Memorial Stadium. Crowder allowed a solo home run to Riggs Stephenson with one out in the first but the Indians never scored again. The Orioles tied the score on a Luke Sewell passed ball in the bottom of the 1st and went ahead on Frank Robinson's RBI single in the 5th. Martinez went 3 scoreless innings for his first save of the post season. Rick Sutcliffe (0-1) allowed only 1 earned run over 8 innings but was the hard luck loser.

Ralph Kiner homered off of Tippy Martinez (0-1) with two out and Jimmy Wasdell aboard in the bottom of the 14th to lift Pittsburgh over Baltimore in game one of the Championship series. The Pirates looked to be in trouble after Roy Sanders (1-0) walked Heinie Manush with the bases loaded in the top of the 14th to give the Orioles a one run lead. Kiner homered twice for the Pirates in the series opener.
The Pirates led 2 - 0 and 3 - 1 befor the Orioles scored one in the 7th on a Willie Keeler single and one in the 8th on Brooks Robinson's sacrifice fly to tie the game at 3. It would stay that way until the 14th. Frank Robinson accounted for the Orioles other run with a solo home run to lead off the 6th after the Pirates had taken a 2 - 0 lead on Kiner's first inning homer and Kitty Bransfield's RBI single in the second. Bill Mazeroski reestablished the Pirates 2 run cushion with an RBI double in the home half of the 6th.
