Red Sox Squeak By Athletics Despite Ten Walks By Dutch

Red Sox 2, Athletics 1  (9-2)

The Red Sox got their share of breaks in this one as they guaranteed themselves at least a split in their four game series with the Athletics.  The Red Sox didn’t get a hit in the first six innings but they did their share of damage in the seventh.  Amos Strunk broke that up and on a steal attempt of third base, Strunk scored when Athletics starter Scott Perry threw a wild pitch.  Dick Hoblitzell then doubled and he moved to third on Everett Scott’s single before Hoblitzell scored on an error by Kopp out in leftfield.

Dutch Leonard picked up the win with a shaky start.  He gave up one run on seven hits and ten walks with one strike out.
