At Fenway Park, SS Don Buddin pulls some fancy footwork to lead the BoSox to a win against the Tigers. With the score tied in the 8th, Buddin is caught in a rundown between third base and home, but he eludes Detroit catcher Red Wilson to score. Wilson argues that Buddin left the base line, and earns an ejection by Red Flaherty for his views. The Red Sox score three more runs and win, 11 – 7. Ted Williams has a home run, off Jim Bunning, and Rocky Colavito answers with two homers.
