The ball was flying out of the park today. After the NY Yankees won the 1st game of this 3 game series in a tight pitching dual, the Boston Red Sox flexed their muscles and came from behind to take today's game in 11 innings, 11-10. Boston scored 3 runs in the 8th inning and 3 more in the 9th to send the game into extra innings. Joe DiMaggio hit 2 homeruns for New York but Boston got back-to-back homers from Ted Williams (his 2nd of the game) and Vern Stephens in the 8th inning, and a 3 run bomb from Bobby Doer in the 9th. The Red Sox won the contest in the 11th when Williams drove in Johnny Pesky from 3rd. Joe Page was the victim of Boston's late onslaught, getting a BS and the Loss. Johnnie Wittig got the Win in relief with 3 scoreless innings pitched.
