I don't have enough patience to do long replays, so how about a tournament instead? This is the 1920 Negro National League using Spring Coming Baseball. The format is best of three.
This link has great info about the league.

First series - Kansas City Monarchs versus St. Louis Giants. I took creative license and added starting pitchers to the narrative.
Game 1
Bill Drake (StL) vs Reuben Curry (KC)
Giants 3 - Monarchs 4
The Monarchs carried a 3-1 lead into the top of the 8th when the Giants scored a single run to make it a 3-2 game. The Giants added another run in the top of the ninth to tie the game only to see the Monarchs win it walk off style in the bottom of the ninth.
Game 2
Sam Crawford (KC) v Wayne Curry (StL)
Monarchs 1 - Giants 3
Crawford was good, but Curry was even better tossing six shutout innings before the Monarchs managed a single run in the seventh.
Game 3
John Finner (StL) v Bullet Joe Rogan (KC)
Giants 1 - Monarchs 2
Single runs in the first and second gave the Hall of Famer Rogan all the run support he would need as he wins the series for the Monarchs by out-dueling Finner.
Monarchs advance to the semifinals.
