1920 Negro National League Tournament Finals

Bill Holland (DET) v Tom Williams (CAG)
Detroit Stars            301 001 105 - 11 
Chicago American Giants  112 101 101 -  8 

What a wild game! Lots of lead changes and ties. Down 7-6 in the top of the ninth, the Stars erupt for five to claim the series opener.


Dave Brown (CAG) v Bill Gatewood (DET)
Chicago American Giants 411 121 111 - 13 
Detroit Stars           011 031 111 -  9  1

They say that good pitching beats good hitting, but they won't say it about this series.



Gunboat Thompson (DET) v Tom Johnson (CAG)
Detroit Stars           101 011 103 - 8 
Chicago American Giants 001 110 004 - 7 

The American Giants put up a furious fight in the bottom of the ninth, but the Stars' hitters just put them in too big of a hole. The tournament goes to the Motor City.
