With thunderous applause even away from their home park, the New York Gothams defeated the Brooklyn Titans yesterday in the seventh game of the 4th Presidents Cup Series. This is the 6th Presidents Cup that has been awarded.
It was a back and forth affair, but New York edged out one more run in the top of the 8th inning after a single and error put a man on third base. He was driven in by Howland, who hit a ground ball to second base.
Babe Peters took the mound for the final inning, as Brooklyn tried to score one more to tie and keep their season alive. The 9th started well for them, with McGovern getting a walk on four pitches. But Two straight fly outs put them down to their last out.
On a 1-2 count, Peters threw a high and inside fastball that Dickerson wildly swung at. He missed, and the strikeout recorded the final out of the 1917 season.
The Gothams earned their 1st Presidents Cup Series title and now get to spend all winter basking in glory, while the beaten Titans will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.
"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," winning manager Eli Gallaher said to the press corps at the post-game press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."
Brooklyn skipper Fletcher Rowley agreed with that assessment and added, "We were a little weak on fundamentals at crucial times. I have a sneaky suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring."
On the way to the Presidents Cup Series championship, the Gothams ended up in first place in the United League and compiled a 100-54 record during the regular season.
