1962 World Series Game 4

 October 8, 1962

   Game 4 of the 1962 World Series started out with a bang as both the San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers scored 2 runs in the 1st inning. The Giants had 5 base hits in the top of the 1st off  Detroit starter Hank Aguirre to score their 2 runs. Only a Willie Mays doubleplay prevented more damage for the home team. The Tigers got their 2 runs off Giant's starter Juan Marichal on a single by Dick McAuliffe, a triple from Billy Bruton and a groundout by Al Kaline. The way The Series had gone so far had many fans thinking another slugfest was about to happen. 

  In the bottom of the 3rd Al Kaline hit a 2-run homer and Detroit led 4-2. Aguirre settled in after that 1st inning and he would hold the Giants off the scoreboard until the 9th. Detroit got a 2-run homer from Rocky Colavito in the 7th inning and the Tigers had a 6-2 lead. Aguirre allowed San Francisco to score a run in the 9th before he shut the door for a complete game 6-3 Win. 

  Game 5 in Detroit tomorrow will see SF's Jack Sanford and the Detroit's Jim Bunning start with The Series tied a 2 games apiece.

1962 World Series Game 3

 October 7, 1962

   The ball was flying out of Tiger Stadium today in Game 3 of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Detroit Tigers. It was a wild one with 7 homeruns on 26 hits, 10 walks, 4 errors, and 21 runs scored in the game. When the dust finally settled the Giants had come away with a 12-9 victory.

  Detroit loaded the bases in the bottom of the 1st but SF starter Billy O'Dell was able to get out of the jam without allowing a run. In the 2nd, catcher Bob Bailey hit a 2-run homer off Tiger starter Don Mossi and SF led 2-0. In the 3rd inning Orlando Cepeda hit his 2nd homerun in this World Series, a 2-run blast giving the Giants a 4-0 lead. In the bottom of the 3rd Al Kaline hit his 2nd homer of the WS, a solo shot that put  Detroit on the scoreboard. 

  In the bottom of the 4th inning Chico Fernandez hit a homerun and Dick McAuliffe added a 2-run homer as Detroit scored 4 runs on 4 hits and an error. The Tigers now led for the first time in the game 5-4. SF's Willie Mays homered in the top of the 5th and we were tied again 5-5. Detroit came right back in the bottom of the 5th scoring 2 runs for a 7-5 lead. 

  After a scoreless 6th inning both teams plated 2 runs in the 7th and SF added another run in the 8th, so Detroit entered the 9th inning holding a 9-8 lead. Tiger relief ace Terry Fox came on to pitch the 9th but he was very ineffective and by the time the Giants were done hitting they had scored 4 runs. The Giant's Stu Miller was on the hill to close out the game but got into immediate trouble when the first 2 Tiger batters singled. With the tying run at the plate, Miller was able to retire the next 3 hitters preserving the 12-9 San Francisco victory.

  The Giants now lead The Series 2-1 and Game 4 tomorrow will see a repeat matchup of Game 1 starters Juan Marichal (0-1) for SF and Hank Aguirre (1-0) going for Detroit.

TEAM RISP- Giants: 4 for 8  Tigers: 1 for 12
 
Willie Mays had 4 hits and 2 RBI as the San Francisco Giants came back to win
one over Detroit Tigers, 12 to 9.
 
San Francisco came up with the deciding runs in the top of the 9th inning when
they scored 4 runs on 4 hits.  The key offensive moment was provided by Jim
Davenport who disappointed the partisan crowd when he doubled which was good
for two runs.  This was the kind of game that many fans love as the lead
changed hands 5 times.  
 
The win was credited to Stu Miller(1-0) who went 1 and 2/3 innings allowing no
runs. Terry Fox(0-1) took the loss in relief.  He gave up 4 runs and 4 hits
in 1/3 of an inning.  
 
Bob Scheffing was understandably not very talkative after his team's tough
loss.  He quickly showered and changed and when asked about the game had a
terse, yet polite response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to
lose.  Our guys gave it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin'
on us this afternoon'

1962 World Series Game 2

 October 5, 1962

   After losing Game 1 and heading to Detroit for 3 games after this one, the San Francisco Giants really needed a Win in Game 2 of the 1962 World Series.  Just like in Game 1, the Giants scored first in the bottom of the 1st on a home run. This time it was Willie Mays who blasted a mammoth shot to leftfield off Tiger starter Jim Bunning for a 1-0 SF lead. Detroit went ahead 2-1 in the 4th inning when Norm Cash hit a 2-run shot off SF starter Jack Sanford.

  In the bottom of the 4th, Bunning seemed to lose control of his pitches and the Giants scored big plating 4 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks. Jose Pagan got the key hit for SF when he singled through the drawn-in infield for 2 runs. Bunning was pinch hit for in top of the 5th and Felipe Alou greeted reliever Phil Regan with a homerun for a 6-2 SF lead. In the top of the 6th Al Kaline homered for Detroit and the score stood at 6-3. That was as close as Detroit would get the rest of the game.

   The bottom fell out for the Tigers in the bottom of the 7th. San Francisco tallied 6 runs in the inning on 6 singles, a walk, a 2-base throwing error, a wild pitch and a passed ball. The route was on for SF and the final score was 12-3. Detroit's bullpen failed miserably in the game while the Giants was perfect over the last 2 1/3 innings. 

  The Series is now tied 1-1 as the teams head to Detroit for the next 3 games. Detroit's Don Mossi will get the start in Game 3 and Billy O'Dell gets the nod for San Francisco.

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Rocky Colavito robbed Willie Mays of a Homerun!
 
Willie Mays homered and had 2 RBI as the San Francisco Giants bested the
Detroit Tigers 12 to 3 at Candlestick Park.
 
Detroit was unable to claim the lead after San Francisco went ahead in the
bottom of the 4th inning scoring 4 runners on 3 hits.  The key offensive
moment was provided by Jose Pagan who made the San Francisco fans a happy lot
when he stroked a base-hit bringing home two baserunners.  San Francisco
finished with 14 hits while Detroit ended up with 6.  
 
The victory went to Jack Sanford(1-0) who went 6 and 2/3 innings, allowing 3
runs. Jim Bunning(0-1) was the loser.  He was not very effective,
surrendering 5 runs in 4 innings.

Detroit scored a run in the 2nd on 3 straight singles off Giant's starter Juan Marichal, the last by Dick Brown driving in the run.

  Orlando Cepeda homered for SF in the 3rd and Billy Bruton homered for Detroit in the 5th to make the score 3-2 in favor of the home team. Dick McAuliffe hit a solo shot for the Tigers in the 7th and the game was all tied up at 3 entering the 8th inning.

  In the top of the 8th, Detroit got a solo homerun from Norm Cash and an RBI double from Frank Kostro chasing Marichal from the mound. Terry Fox came on in relief for Detroit in the bottom of the 8th and threw 2 scoreless innings, getting the Save and allowing the Tigers to walk off with a 5-3 victory in Game 1.

1962 World Series

 October 2, 1962

  The 1962 World Series between the NL Champion San Francisco Giants (104-58) and the AL Champion Detroit Tigers (99-62) will begin on October 4th in San Francisco. The Giants are favored in the Series because of a slight edge in pitching and fielding. 

  The teams are both offensive power houses so it's pretty even in that regard. SF scored 862 runs in 162 games during the season, an average of 5.32 runs/game. Detroit scored 860 runs in 161 games, an average of 5.34 runs/game. The Giant's pitching staff allowed 669 runs, 4.13 R/G with a team ERA of 3.60. Detroit's staff allowed 713 runs, 4.43 R/G with a team ERA of 3.88.
