On October 3, 1945 – The Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs face each other in the World Series for the fourth time. Hank Borowy pitches a six-hitter and Hal Newhouser is demolished with eight runs in three innings as the Cubs win, 9 – 0.

RECAP

The visiting Cubs began with a bang, scoring four times in the first. With two outs and runners on first and third, a passed ball by future Hall of Famer Hal Newhouser scored the game’s first run. After an intentional walk, a two-run Bill Nicholson double and Mickey Livingston’s RBI single made it 4–0 Cubs. In the third, after a leadoff double, Phil Cavarretta’s single and Andy Pafko’s double scored a run each. One out later, Livingston’s second RBI single of the game knocked Newhouser out of the game. Cavarretta’s two-out home run in the seventh off Jim Tobin made it 8–0. Pafko then singled, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball, and scored the game’s last run on Nicholson’s single. Hank Borowy pitched a complete game shutout despite allowing 12 base runners as the Cubs took a 1–0 series lead.
