October 7 1945 World Series Game 5 Detroit Tigers at Chicago Cubs

Back in form, Hal Newhouser went the distance for Detroit, striking out nine. The Tigers struck first in the top of the third on Doc Cramer’s sacrifice fly with runners on first and third, but the Cubs tied the game in the bottom half when Hank Borowy doubled with two outs and scored on Stan Hack’s single. In the sixth, Cramer hit a leadoff single and scored on Hank Greenberg’s double. After a single, Rudy York’s RBI single knocked starter Hank Borowy out of the game. Hy Vandenberg in relief intentionally walked Paul Richards with one out to load the bases before a walk to Newhouser and Skeeter Webb’s groundout scored a run each. Next inning, Jimmy Outlaw’s sacrifice fly with runners on first and third off Paul Derringer made it 6–1 Tigers. In the bottom of the inning, with runners on first and third with two outs, Bill Nicholson’s fielder’s choice and Mickey Livingston’s ground-rule double scored a run each. In the ninth, after a hit-by-pitch and double, Roy Cullenbine’s two-run double off Paul Erickson made it 8–3 Tigers. In the bottom half, Phil Cavarretta hit a leadoff double and scored on Nicholson’s one out single before Newhouser retired the next two batters to end the game and put the Tigers one win away from the championship. The Cubs’ World Series record at Wrigley Field now stood at 1-10.
