Ralph Branca went 6 strong innings and catcher Birdie Tebbetts had 2 base hits
and 2 RBI as the blistering-hot Boston Red Sox defeated the Washington
Nationals 10 to 5 at Griffith Stadium.
Boston took the lead for good in the 6th inning when they came up with 4 runs
on 3 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Tebbetts who disappointed
the partisan crowd when he doubled bringing in two baserunners. Boston had
15 hits overall, while Washington had 7.
The victory was credited to Branca(8-1) who went 6 innings, allowing 1 run.
Lou Brissie(0-1) was charged with the loss. Boston continued their winnings
ways improving their record to a league leading 40-14. They are 9-1 in their
last ten games. With the loss Washington now has a record of 33-17.
