June 3, 1949
My 1st game back after resuming the 1949 asplayed replay saw my Detroit Tigers hosting the Philadelphia Athletics. The game turned into a great pitchers duel, although it didn't start off that way. Staff ace Hal Newhouser (picture left) was on the mound for Detroit and the 1st batter he faced, Eddie Joost, cleared the leftfield fence for his 8th homerun of the season. The score remained 1-0 until the bottom of the 8th when the Tigers finally got to Philadelphia starter Alex Kellner for a run on Hoot Evers' clutch RBI single. The game went to extra innings and in the bottom of the 10th Johnny Groth (pictured right) led off by hitting a walk-off homerun. The Tigers won 2-1 and Newhouser picked up his AL leading 9th Win of the season.

Win:Wynn(3-1) Loss:Dobson(3-3)
Homeruns- V.Stephens(4th)
Early Wynn allowed Lou Boudreau to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game
and Joe Gordon had 2 base hits and 3 RBI as the red-hot Cleveland Indians
beat the Boston Red Sox by a score of 6 to 1.
Wynn(3-1) pitched a fine game. He was reached for 6 hits and 2 walks in 9
innings. Cleveland banged out 14 hits on the afternoon.
Joe Dobson(3-3) absorbed the loss. He was unable to control the Cleveland
offense and allowed 11 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings.
No one has been able to stop Cleveland lately as they lengthened their winning
streak to 9 games. Boudreau was thrilled following the game -- 'We're really
on a roll now. These guys are playing their hearts out and I couldn't be
happier for them!'
NEW YORK AT CHICAGO

Yankees bested the Chicago White Sox 6 to 5 at Comiskey Park.
New York drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning
when they tallied 4 runs on 3 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by
Johnson who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he doubled bringing
home two baserunners. Chicago tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.
Bob Porterfield(4-1) allowed 3 runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory.
Porterfield was helped out by Spec Shea who recorded his 1st save. The loss
was charged to Billy Pierce(1-6). He got hammered, allowing 10 hits and 6
walks in 7 innings.
