WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Sammy White blocked the plate, saving a run!

 

21,420 fans were treated to a fine game at Fenway Park as only one run

separated the combatants at game's end.  The potent Chicago White Sox won by

the slimmest of margins, 4 to 3.

 

Chicago drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning

scoring one runner on 2 hits.  After two outs Minnie Minoso slapped a

base-hit.  Walt Dropo stepped up next and he drew a walk.  Jim Rivera then

doubled scoring the run.  Boston threatened in the 9th but Chicago was able

to put down the rally.  

 

The win was credited to Billy Pierce(12-4) who went 8 innings allowing 3 runs.

Sandy Consuegra earned his 6th save.  Willard Nixon(7-7) was tagged with the

loss.  He was touched for 9 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.  

 

'Some losses are harder to take than others' Pinky Higgins lamented after the

game.  'This was one of them.'
