Road Win Lifts Pittsburgh to 3-2 Lead in World Series
Game 5 was big. So was Elmer Deaton.

The Pittsburgh starter rose to the occasion at Knickerbocker Stadium today, earning player of the game honors after leading the Industrials to a crucial 4-3 victory over the New York Knickerbockers. Deaton threw 9 innings allowing 3 runs as the Industrials won on the road to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 World Series.

Mel Hunt, who is a two-time All-Star, aided the Pittsburgh cause with a 2-run single in the top of the third. For the game, the second baseman was 3-4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Pittsburgh manager told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 16th, 1934 in Pittsburgh. Slated to start are Lowry Hopkins for the New York Knickerbockers and Jack Smith for the the Pittsburgh Industrials.
