Dom Dimaggio stepped up to the plate and he delivered a base-hit knocking in a run. Willard Marshall then delivered a one-base hit. Bobby Doerr followed and he drew a walk to load the bases. After an out was recorded, Bud Stewart came to the plate and drew a walk giving Washington the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. Washington and New York each finished the night with 8 hits. Feller(2-2) finished the game allowing 4 runs in the victory. Joe Coleman(2-1) absorbed the loss. Feller and Marshall were really whooping it up in the clubhouse after the great come from behind victory. As Gordy Renaud noted, 'A win like this one can do wonders for a team's attitude.' Everyone shares in the joy - the fans, the players - even you guys - it's better than winning by a dozen runs!'
