Pitching effectively was optional in today's game between the St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators. In the highest scoring game this 1949 season, the Browns defeated the Senators 20-16 in 10 innings. The game was tied at 13 after 9 innings before St. Louis scored 7 in the 10th to seemingly wrap up a victory. But Washington scored 3 in the bottom of the 10th before the last out was finally obtained. The Brown's catcher, Sherm Lollar, 'blocked the plate' saving a run in the 3rd inning. Without that play, St. Louis would have lost the game 13-12 in 9 innings. The teams combined for 42 hits along with 21 walks and Washington committed 6 errors.

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Sherm Lollar blocked the plate, saving a run!
Center fielder Stan Spence left the yard and had 3 RBI as the St. Louis Browns
defeated the Washington Senators in 10 innings by a score of 20 to 16 at
Griffith Stadium.
The game was deadlocked at 13 after nine full innings. St. Louis won the hard
fought contest in the 10th inning. The key at-bat was by Jerry Priddy who
quieted the crowd when he doubled bringing in two baserunners. St. Louis
provided plenty of action in the 7th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 3
hits and the 10th inning when they had 7 runs on 6 hits. St. Louis had a
total of 20 hits for the game.
The win was credited to Joe Ostrowski(5-2) who went 1 and 2/3 innings allowing
3 runs. Forrest Thompson(0-2) was charged with the loss in relief.
