Christy Mathewson lost his Series swan song in the final game to an old college rival and eventual fellow Baseball Hall of Fame member, Eddie Plank.

The Giants, meanwhile, became the first National League team since the Chicago Cubs (1906–1908) to win three consecutive pennants.

The A's got an insurance run in the eighth off of Doc Crandall on Stuffy McInnis's RBI double.

In the bottom of the ninth inning of a scoreless game, the Giants put on a stirring baseball version of the "goal-line stand".

Eddie Collins had three hits and three RBI, and Bullet Joe Bush threw a five-hitter to put the A's ahead in the series.

After a double steal and strike out, and error on Amos Strunk's ground ball scored two more runs.

The Giants got on the board in the fifth when Red Murray drew a leadoff walk, stole second, moved to third on an error and scored on Larry McLean's single.

The home team won for the first time in the series, although the visiting Giants made it close in the late innings.

The A's struck first in the bottom of the second when Stuffy McInnis hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Jack Barry's double.

Plank led the Athletics to victory, allowing the Giants only two hits, but his own error in the fifth inning cost him a shutout.
