Sunday 9/26/54: BoSox win easily in season finale, but Williams goes hitless
Unless Harvey Kuenn (.342) goes 0 for 7 or 0 for 8 in the Tigers' last game of the season against Cleveland, he will end up winning the batting championship over Ted Williams in this Strat-O-Matic replay. Williams entered the season's last game at .341, trailing Kuenn by one point. But Ted went hitless against two Washington pitchers in the last game and ended up the season at .337. The Red Sox won anyway 6-0 as Frank Sullivan pitched a very fine three-hit shutout. Ted went 0 for 3 with a walk against tough Washington lefty Dean Stone. That is not too surprising as Ted has a "BAL" rating of 7R and hit only .250 against lefties in this replay. Ted's best chance for a hit came in the bottom of the 8th against Washington reliever Spec Shea. Shea, a righthander, had an ERA of 4.64 in the replay (6.21 in real life) and had a bad hits-to-innings-pitched ratio. But Williams grounded out to second base and ended the game 0 for 4. |
