Ontario had a pair of four-run innings in the series opener. The second inning outburst was aided by a three-base error by St. Lawrence centerfielder Larry Doby. Ernie Lombardi blew the game open with a three-run homer in the sixth off reliever Joe McGinnity. Bill Dickey homered and doubled for three RBIs for St. Lawrence.

Doby started a six-run third in Game Two with a homer off Walter Johnson, and Red Schoendienst capped it with a three-run homer. Ty Cobb had two hits, two RBIs and two steals for Ontario, which got four innings of one-run relief from Jim Bunning.

Bill Terry homered for the second straight game in the finale, and Dave Bancroft added another in the best-pitched game of the series. Warren Spahn retired the first 11 men he faced, then Eddie Mathews homered for St. Lawrence's sole run. Spahn finished with a four hitter.

Ontario starters: Roberts-Waddell-Johnson-Hunter. Bunning sits for the next two games.

St. Lawrence starters: Plank-Vance-Seaver-Spahn. McGinnity may not pitch in the first game of the next series.
