Gil McDougald had 2 base hits as the New York Yankees won in dramatic fashion
over the Detroit Tigers by a score of 4 to 3 at Yankee Stadium.
New York scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning with 3
runs using 3 hits. Bobby Richardson started the inning off right when he hit
a single. Casey Stengel then called for a steal which was successful. Joe
Collins then would ground out scoring a run. Mickey Mantle came up and he
lashed a single. Yogi Berra stepped into the box and drew a walk. Joe
Coleman then unleashed a wild pitch. Eddie Robinson stepped up next and he
drew a walk to load the bases. McDougald then laced a single plating another
run. After an out was recorded, Bob Cerv came up and he drew a walk making
New York the winners and sending the 32,427 fans home happy. New York
finished with just 5 hits in the victory.
The victory was credited to Tom Sturdivant(4-2) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. The losing pitcher was Steve Gromek(6-9). He allowed just 4 runs and 4
hits in 8 and 1/3 innings.
'That was exciting!,' McDougald said. 'I would have paid money to watch this
one.'
