Game Four

Dorothy Duckinsie, Invention / Things Historian

Onto Game Four.  The White Sox are losing at this point, 2 games to 1 and Game Four comes back to Eddie Cicotte.  Remember that Cicotte was the key for the whole “fix” and lost badly in the first game.  Now he wanted to lose again, but this time he wanted to make it look better.  He made his move in the fifth inning.  Cicotte pitched brilliantly in the first four innings, but used faulty defense to help the Reds win in the fifth.  The first error came on an errant throw to first base.  This allowed Duncan to get to second base.  Then came the beauty.  Are you ready?  Okay.  With Duncan on second, Kopf drilled a single to centerfield.  Joe Jackson made a great throw that would have gotten Duncan at the plate, but… Cicotte deflected the throw letting Duncan score and Kopf get to second.  Kopf later scored making it 2 to 0 and ending the game.  With weak hitting from the Sox, especially Gandil, the Reds took the game and a commanding World Series lead.
