JACK GRAHAM LEADS BROWNS TO THRILLING, 10 INNING WIN OVER RED SOX
St. Louis’ Jack Graham singled in the winning run in the bottom of the tenth inning, capping a 4-5 day, which included a homerun and two doubles.
Neither starter was effective. Boston’s Ellis Kinder was rocked for 7 runs(3 unearned). He walked the first two men he faced, then surrendered a three run clout to Jerry Priddy, in addition to Graham’s homer, which came the next inning.
After the Graham blast, Stan Spence singled and Roy Sievers doubled. Boston’s Billy Goodman, who hadn’t committed an error this season, made two, back to back, and two more runs scored.
Meanwhile, Boston got homers from Ted Williams(7) and Bobby Doerr(2), in addition to six more hits and two walks off Browns starter, Red Embree. After just three innings, the Browns led, 7-5.
Things quieted down until the top of the eighth. Goodman doubled and later scored on a Dom DiMaggio single. That put the Red Sox one run down. They would tie it in the top of the ninth inning. Ted Williams drew a walk. Vern Stephens singled him to third, then Al Zarilla plated the tying run with a sacrifice fly.
Boston had a chance in the top of the tenth. Pinch hitter, Lou Stringer drew a base on balls. DiMaggio sacrificed him into scoring position. Johnny Pesky drew another walk, but Ray Shore fanned both Bobby Doerr and Ted Williams to squash the threat.
With one out in the bottom of the tenth, Priddy doubled off Tex Hughson(0-1). Graham then singled in the game winning tally.
The Red Sox now head to Comiskey Park to play the Chicago White Sox.
