Game 1 - ‘32 Chicago 12, ‘99 Atlanta 5

Cub's Manager Jim Walden made a decidedly unorthodox move by not starting either of his 2 top aces, Lon Warneke and Guy Bush. Hoping to get a first game win in Atlanta from Charlie Root, so he could bring Warneke in game 2 and Bush in game 3. Root came through only giving up 2 runs through his six innings of work. In a tie game going into the 7th, Chicago broke loose with a 6 run 8th and added 4 more in the top of the 9th to take the first game handily.

Shortstop Mark Koenig went 4 for 6 with 4 rbi while first baseman Charlie Grimm went 3 for 4 with 3 rbi. Atlanta pounded out 13 hits, but stranded 12 runners as Chicago took game 1.

Game 2 - ‘32 Chicago 9, ‘99 Atlanta 1

The second game in Atlanta saw the Cubs start their ace, Lon Warneke. Warneke went 22-6 in the regular season and were hoping Warneke could take game 2 on the road. Chicago pushed across 5 runs in the first 2 innings on 5 hits, one being a stroke into the right field seats by Gabby Hartnett. The Cub outburst came against Greg Maddox, who gave up 8 hits and 6 runs in his seven innings of work. SS Mark Koenig, LF Riggs Stephenson and C Gabby Hartnett went a combined 8 for 14 while they drove in 8 of Chicago's 9 runs. Warneke needed an amazing 65 pitches to pitch a 4 hit gem.

Game 3 - ‘99 Atlanta 6, ‘32 Chicago 7

Game 3 moved back to Wrigley where Chicago put Guy Bush on the mound against Atlanta's John Smoltz. Atlanta was hoping to stave off elimination and in a great game tried but were found wanting as Chicago swept the Braves. Chicago started the scoring in the bottom of the first as CF Johnny Moore knocked one into the left field seats with a 2 run shot. Atlanta scored 3 in the top of the second capped by a Javy Lopez 2 run shot. Chicago countered with 2 more in the bottom of the inning as a walk to Charlie Grimm and a triple by 3B Woody English was followed by a Guy Bush squeeze led to a 4-3 Chicago lead. Chicago would take a 7-4 lead into the 8th where a HR by Chipper Jones would make it 7-5. Atlanta would get a lead off triple by Andruw Jones to start the 9th and he would score on a Lopez single, but Chicago reliever, Bud Tinning would shut the door on the Braves and Chicago would have the sweep.
