   Ted Williams’ walk off clout, gave the Boston Red Sox a 6-4 win over Philadelphia, as the two clubs, split a short, two game series. Joe Rogan started and went eight innings, but allowed the Red Sox to tie the game, four all, on a Jim Tabor, solo home run in the last of the eighth.

  Tom Ferrick then relived Rogan. He allowed a lead off single to Dom DiMaggio, but retired the next two batters. Williams then spoiled things, with a game winning home run.

  Philadelphia now heads to Washington, for another two game set, with the Senators. They then return home to square off against the mighty Yankees.
