1949 Boston Red Sox Replay

April 23. Gm# 5 Fenway Park New York 9 Boston 4

YANKS BELT FOUR HOMERUNS IN ROUT OF RED SOX

The first inning for Mel Parnell was a sign of things to come. Jerry Coleman doubled, Phil Rizzuto singled, Johnny Lindell hit a three run homer, then Tommy Heinrich followed that with a solo homerun. 4-0 New York.

Boston would battle back, to the extent that Parnell would get a no decision and Eric Johnson(0-1) would take the loss in relief.

Ted Williams(2) hit a homerun. Dom DiMaggio and Birdie Tebbetts each had three hits.

Other National League scores: Chicago 12 St. Louis 5; Detroit 5 Cleveland 4; Philadelphia 14 Washington 1.
