TEAM RISP- Yankees: 0 for 5 Red Sox: 7 for 11
Ralph Branca dominated striking out 10 New York batters and Lou Boudreau had 2
base hits and 2 RBI as the Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees by a
score of 7 to 1 at Fenway Park.
Branca(7-1) contributed a very nicely pitched game. He allowed only 5 hits
and 2 walks in 7 and 1/3 innings lowering his ERA from 3.98 to 3.62. New
York was out-hit by Boston, 12 hits to 6.
Bob Rush(1-4) was hit with the loss. The Boston fans were thrilled by the
performance put forth by Branca, but it was clearly his strikeouts that they
enjoyed most. 'When he reached 10 strikeouts the fans showed him their
appreciation with a loud cheer.' Allan Kaufman said following the game.
