Every final score posted during the 1945 Major League Baseball season, tabulated by winning-team runs and losing-team runs.
Baseball games end with a final score, like 8–6. The number across the top is how many runs the winning team scored; the number down the side is how many runs the losing team scored. Where a column and row meet, that square shows how many 1945 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1945 season produced 1,237 games between 16 clubs, running from April 17, 1945 to October 10, 1945. Those games ended in 109 different final scores, 24 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 84 times — 6.8% of the season's games. The season also produced twelve tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 8.36 runs per game in 1945, 0.43 runs below the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 193 games (15.6% of the total), and 391 of the 1,225 decided games were settled by a single run (31.9%).
