Miley BB CD 1944 World Series Game 6
Called by Bill Corum, Bill Slater and Don Dunphy

Three singlers, a walk, and an error give the Cardinals 3 runs in the 4th and that's all they need to win the final game of the Series. Max Lanier gets the win, and Ted Wilks' brilliant, hitless relief work earns him the save.
