Boston scored the deciding run in the 9th inning. Lou Boudreau drew a walk. George Kell was next and he smacked a single. Ted Williams then doubled resulting in an exciting win for Boston and a wild post-game celebration by the home town fans. Washington was out-hit by Boston, 13 hits to 9. The winning pitcher was Tommy Byrne(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Bob Chesnes(3-1) ended up with the loss in relief. Boston continued their winning ways, seemingly unable to lose during this stretch. 'I'm glad to get the win', Byrne said. 'We've got some good momentum going now.'
