Sunday 9/19/54: Bosox overcome triple play, five run Washington outburst in first inning
It looked like the Red Sox were headed for their third straight setback in their weekend series at Washington. Right off the bat in the first inning they scored a run on consecutive doubles by Billy Goodman and Ted Williams, then proceeded to load the bases with none out. But Grady Hatton lined into a TRIPLE PLAY, first to third to second (Vernon to Terwilliger to Runnels). It was the first triple play in my '54 replay. Maybe the third or fourth in all my years playing Strat-O-Matic. In the bottom of the first the Senators struck Mel Parnell and the Red Sox for five runs and it looked like a rout was on. But the Senators would not score the rest of the day against five Red Sox relief pitchers. Meanwhile the Red Sox chipped away against Bob Porterfield. They scored the tying run in the seventh on a solo homer by Ted Williams, his 28th of the year. And then they finally took the lead on Sammy White's two run double in the top of the ninth. Final score: Boston 7, Washington 5 |
