Sunday, April 27:
Bosox tie the Nats with two runs in the top of the 7th, watched by a big crowd of 16,000. As Shirley Povich explained in 1960, many of those seats were behind pillars or else far out in the bleachers. The Nats scored five in the bottom of the 8th to put the game out of reach, even after Boston scored a pair in the top of the 9th. Reliever By Spence got the win after he blew a save of Tom Zachry's game. Notable?
In the top of the 1st, with runners on 1B and 3B, Tom Zachary struck out Sam Harris as Ira Flagstead tried to steal home. Muddy Ruel tagged him out. Then, in the bottom of the 1st, Nemo Leibold drew a walk and moved to second on Bucky Harris's single. Sam Rice lined out to 1B Sam Harris, who threw to SS Dud Lee to get Leibold and threw back to Sam Harris to get Bucky.
Yes, a strike-em-out catch-em-out DP, and a triple play. All in the 1st inning. Yes, more exciting baseball than waiting out a walk, a strikeout, and a home run.
Nats defense looks poor, especially catcher Muddy Ruel and 2B/Mgr Bucky Harris. In the top of the 2nd, Muddy Ruel's passed ball gives a runner 2B and Muddy's bad throw gives the runner 3B. He scores on a pop-fly to RF.
But the Nats hit, and Boston also committed three errors.
