The lead was short lived as the Royals tied the game in the next half inning on Duke Snider's 2 out bases loaded single. The Royals then put the game away in the top of the 7th, scoring 6 runs on a single by Tito Francona and HRs by Rocky Colavito and Woodie Held. Hoyt Wilhem went the distance for Montreal only allowing 1 more run over the last 3 innings. Game 2 was closely contested, with the teams taking a 2-2 tie into the 9th inning. Charleston brought in their relief ace Ryne Duren to hold the Royals even in the 9th against the bottom of the lineup. Montreal countered with Duke Snider entering the game as a pinch hitter for SP Lew Burdette with 1 out. Snider delivered a solo shot to give Montreal the lead. Bill Henry then came in to record the save, only allowing a harmless leadoff single to Dave Philley. Hollywood vs. Louisville - LCO leads 2-0 Game 1 was an exciting extra inning game highlighted by clutch pitching and missed opportunities at the plate. The teams combined for 21 runners LOB from 21 hits and 11 BBs. The game was all square, 3-3, going into the 11th inning until Al Kaline strode to the plate in the bottom of the inning. With 2 outs, Kaline jumped on a fastball from RP Jim Brosnan and sent it into the stands for a walkoff HR to put the Colonels up 1 game to none. The wind was blowing out of the park at Briggs Stadium for game 2 with 6 batters combining for 8 HRs in a 16-10 Colonels victory. Louisville recorded 6 of the HRs including 2 from Gil Hodges. Hodges had 5 RBI on the 2 HRs, the second a grand slam to extend the Colonels lead in the 6th inning. MVP candidate Willie McCovey had 2 HRs for the Stars, driving in 6, including a grand slam in the 8th, but it wasn't enough to overcome the huge day at the plate by the Colonels.

Hollywood dug deep in game 4 facing elimination and set the tone in the bottom if the opening inning, plating 4 runs on 2R HRs by Willie McCovey and Wally Moon. Ned Garver went 8 innings and handed the ball over to Johnny Podres for the save. Hollywood did their best in game 5 to make a series out of it, but couldn't match the Colonels offense. The Stars scratched together 13 base-runners but could only convert 3 of them into runs, which wasn't enough to keep up with Louisville. The Colonels smacked 17 hits including HRs by Johnny Logan(3rd), Jim Lemon(2nd), and Gus Triandos(2nd). Sam Jones pitched 8 1/3 for the win.

Fianl Games 3, 4 and 5Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1959/standingspo.htmlHighlights: Montreal vs. Louisville - LCO leads 3-2 Homefield has meant very little this post season, with the visitors posting a 12-4 record through 16 games. Montreal took advantage of the trend in games 1 and 2, and the Colonels benefited equally in games 3, 4 and 5. Game 3 featured a dominating performance from Louisville's Al Ditmar. Ditmar allowed 3 hits and 1 walk in the 6-0 complete game victory. The Colonels scored in the first inning and didn't look back, with Al Kaline knocking his 5th HR in the post season, scoring twice and driving in 3 runs. Watch Game 3Louisville kept the momentum in game 4, scoring 5 big runs in the top of the second to set the tone for the game.

Montreal rallied in the 3rd and 4th, scoring 2 runs in each inning on clutch base hits by Eddie Mathews and Woodie Held to keep the game close. The Colonels would have no part of a close game, scoring 5 more runs over the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings with offense being generated from all parts of the lineup. Montreal's hitting couldn't keep up and the contest ended with the series tied 2-2. Watch Game 4Both teams were looking to win the critical game 5 and played up to the task, the game was close throughout. Tito Francona and Roger Maris homered for Montreal, driving in 2 runs each. Gus Triandos doubled twice driving in 3 runs and Jim Lemon homered driving in 2 for Louisville. The teams went back and forth for all 9 innings, and with the game on the line the Colonels bullpen rose to the occasion. After a PH RBI from the Royals Bob Cerv in the bottom of the 8th, Bob Purkey was brought in and retired Tony Taylor to end the rally. In the 9th, after a leadoff single from Francona, Tom Brewer put out the fire getting Eddie Mathews to popout and Rocky Colavito to ground into a game ending double play.
