1945 Negro World Series
In the 1945 Negro World Series, the Cleveland Buckeyes, champions of the Negro American League, swept the Washington Homestead Grays, champions of the Negro National League, four games to none. Summary Matchups Game 1 The two teams were evenly matched in pitchers (who each allowed six hits on 33 batters), with a little bit of timing and luck proving the difference in Cleveland prevailing in the opening game.

In the eighth, first baseman Archie Ware hit a single to left, and a walk got him to second base, where right fielder Willie Grace lobbed a single into right field to score Ware for what proved to be the go-ahead run. The Grays threatened in the final frame with a one-out single by Dave Hoskins that was followed by a walk to Buck Leonard. Josh Gibson lin ...
