Second baseman Billy Goodman had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Frank Sullivan went
the distance as the Boston Red Sox outscored the Detroit Tigers 4 to
3.
Boston had 3 runs cross the plate in the 7th inning when they had 4 base hits.
The highlight belonged to Jimmy Piersall who brought a roar from the
partisan Fenway Park fans when he tripled plating two runs. Detroit
threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.
The win went to Sullivan(14-13) who allowed 3 runs in the game. The losing
pitcher was Jim Bunning(2-4). Boston continued their winning ways, with
their streak now at 6 games and counting. 'Everything seems to be going right
for us' said Pinky Higgins. 'I've got the easiest job in the league right
now!'
