New York fell behind quickly as the Boston offense came through in the first inning scoring 3 runs using 5 hits. After an out was recorded, Lou Boudreau jump-started the rally as he tripled. Ted Williams followed and he popped a two-run clout over the fence. Westlake then ripped a single. Al Zarilla followed next and he slapped a single. Elbie Fletcher stepped into the box and banged out a single scoring the final run of the inning. New York had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. Rex Barney(1-1) got the win allowing 2 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings. Tommy Byrne recorded his 1st save. Joe Coleman(3-2) was given the loss. Boston knocked him around a bit, as he gave up 6 runs in 4 innings. 'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Robert Baker said. 'It's bad enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating yourselves, that's really bad.'
