One run was the difference at Fenway Park as the Boston Red Sox defeated the
Baltimore Orioles 6 to 5.
Boston tallied 3 runs in the 5th inning when they had 3 base hits. Faye
Throneberry kicked off the action when he smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly'
(his 9th of the season). After an out was recorded, Norm Zauchin came to the
plate and hit a bases-empty home run (his 32nd of the season). After another
out, Billy Consolo stepped in and he smacked a single. Pete Daley came up
and he reached on an error. Milt Bolling stepped into the box and drew a
walk to load the bases. Jimmy Piersall added to the outburst and reached on
an error scoring the final run of the inning. Although they lost, Baltimore
did out-hit Boston 11 to 7.
Frank Baumann(5-1) allowed 5 runs in 5 innings, and picked up the victory. Leo
Kiely gained credit for his 7th save. Erv Palica(4-17) was charged with the
loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Pinky Higgins said after the game. 'Baumann did not have
command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew
how to pitch!'
