Friday 9/24/54: Only two days left in the season; Orioles edge ChiSox
Bobby Young squeezed home Eddie Waitkus with the winning run as Buck Jones' Baltimore Orioles beat my Chicago White Sox 2-1 in a NetPlay game. Virgil Trucks, shooting for his 20th win, was lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the tenth with the score tied at 1. The pinch hitter failed, then in the bottom of the 10th came Young's succesful squeeze off Sox reliever Morrie Martin. In real life Trucks also lost a bid for 20 wins by losing to the Orioles, also by a 2-1 score. |
