still 2–1 when the eighth inning began. With one out, Topsy Hartsel stole second, and was controversially called safe. Bris Lord doubled to right, giving the Athletics a run. Lord scored in turn after Eddie Collins doubled. Collins stole third and Home Run Baker singled, but the Cubs defense opted to force Collins out at the plate, allowing Baker to get to first. Harry Davis was walked – Mordecai Brown's first base on balls in Game 5 – and Danny Murphy tripled. His hit had blown past Heinie Zimmerman to center fielder Solly Hofman, scoring Baker, but Hofman's poor throw home allowed Davis to score as well. Murphy scored on a wild pitch. The Cubs scored a run in the bottom of the eighth when Frank Chance singled to send Jimmy Sheckard home. In the ninth inning, Harry Steinfeldt and Joe Tinker flew out. Jimmy Archer singled, and Johnny Kling emerged to pinch hit for the pitcher, as he did in Game 4. Kling grounded to shortstop Jack Barry, who ran to second base to force Archer out. The game ended 7–2. Jack Coombs became the third pitcher in World Series history to win 3 games without a loss. Babe Adams did it the year before, but in seven games, and Christy Mathewson accomplished the feat in the 1905 Series. This was the Athletics' first World Series title.
