Joe Collins rocketed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the very talented New York
Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox by a score of 15 to 6.
The Boston fans didn't appreciate the big day Collins had. He blasted a solo
shot in the 4th inning and popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 22nd of
the season) in the 6th inning. New York bats were hot in the 6th inning
which saw them plate 5 runs on 3 hits and the 9th inning with 4 runs on 3
hits. Due to a poorly pitched ballgame, scoring in 6 different innings was
still not enough for Boston to come away with the victory.
The winning pitcher was Bob Grim(7-3) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. The
losing pitcher was Tom Brewer(14-9). He was touched for 4 homeruns in his 5
innings of work.
Jimmy Piersall slammed 3 homeruns but his offense was not enough to carry
Boston to victory.
