Their long-time manager, John McGraw, made his ninth and final World Series appearance in 1924.

Walter Johnson, after pitching his first 20-victory season (23) since 1919, was making his first World Series appearance, at the age of 36, while nearing the end of his career with the Senators.

With one out, and runners on first and second, Earl McNeely hit another grounder at Lindstrom, and again the ball took a bad hop, scoring Muddy Ruel with the Series-winning run.

This was the first World Series to use the 2–3–2 home game pattern, which would be adapted as the permanent format beginning the following year.

But the Giants would quickly fight back in the final three frames to tie the game as it went to the bottom of the ninth.

Ossie Bluege, the only man reliever Claude Jonnard faced, drew a bases-loaded walk to make it 6-4.

Bentley broke a 1–1 tie in the fifth with a two-run home run, the second homer by a New York pitcher in the Series after Rosy Ryan's in Game 3.

With the Senators trailing 3–1 in the eighth inning with bases loaded and two outs, Bucky Harris hit a "bad hop" ground ball to third which Fred Lindstrom failed to catch (no error was charged).

In the bottom of the 12th inning, Giants catcher Hank Gowdy stepped on his own discarded mask while trying to catch a Muddy Ruel foul pop-up, and dropped the ball for an error.

Lindstrom again failed to catch the ball as it bounced over him into left field, and Ruel scored the series-winning run.

In 2014, on the Series' 90th anniversary, the Library of Congress acquired a newsreel of highlight footage from Game 7, including McNeely's Series-winning base hit.
