laced a one-base hit. Sammy White then lashed a single knocking in a run.
White took second on the throw. One out later, Richie Ashburn came to the
plate and stroked a base-hit resulting in an exciting win for New York-AL and
a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. New York-AL managed
