region between second and third.
1t was all very disturbing to Will
liams, who proceeded to lash single
to right starting the Red Sox ninth.
Bobby Doerr sacrificed and Lupien s
single to left moved Williams to
third. Into that situation stepped
Finney and broke up the ball game.
Vernon had opened the Washing
ton ninth with single to right, his
only hit of the afternoon, and
Mickey scooted to second when Fin
ney fumbled the ball. Bobby Esta-
leila batted for Jake Early and
singled to left, Vernon stopping at
third, but Sullivan fetched Vernon
across with a grounder that caromed
off Pitcher Charley Wagner's glove
to Pesky, who threw out Sullivan.
Estalella took second on that play
and Clary walked, but Wynn forced
Clary and Case flied out.
Doerr's Homer Gets Lead.
Doerr greeted Alexandra Carras-
quel with two-run homer with two
out in the first inning after Case
had stolen home to give the Mats a
briefly enjoyed 10 lead. Doerr de-
livered his home run with Dom Di
Maggie on third and the Red Sox
took Al lead in the third when
Lupien singled to score Pesky and
Williams.
The Mats picked up a run in the
fourth when Spence tripled and
scored as Cullenbine grounded out,
but the Red Sox moved into a So
lead on Williams double and Doerr's
single of Wynn in their half of the
inning.
A walk to Wynn, who replaced
Carrasquel in the fourth, plus sin
giles by Case and Spence, netted the
Mats two runs in the sixth and
Washington produced the tying run
in the seventh when Sullivan
walked, sprinted to third on Clary's
single to right Aand scored after
Wynn flied to Finney.
Washington collected only eight
hits off Joe Dobson, Oscar Judd and
Wagner, while the Red Sox clipped
Carrasquel and Wynn for 13.
Hudson Makes Fine Bid.
Hudson made gallant bid for his
fifth successive victory, permitting
the Red Sox only six hits in the
opener, but Hughson scattered the
Mats 10 hits effectively and re-
ceived the benefit of dubious de-
cision at third base by Umpire Bill
Summers that would have altered
the games complexion.
Williams Is homer OF the wear.
delivered in the third innings after
Pesky had singled with two out.
presented the Red Sox a 20 lead.
1t was Williams first homer of the
year against the Mats.
Washington whitfield Boston's
lead to 81 in the fifth, though
when Hudson and Case singled with
two out and Spence rammed a
double of the left field fence. Hud-
son scored from second on the hit,
but Case was thrown out at the plate
on Di Maggio's crisp, accurate throw
to Catcher Johnny Peacock
That situation still existed In the
seventh when Sullivan opened with
double of the left field barrier.
Summers Wins Argument.
Cleary attempted to sacrifice, but
Sullivan was caught at third, ac-
cording to Summers, on Hughson's
throw to Tabor. The entire Wash
ington bench protested Sullivan had
avoided Tabor's glove with a neat
hook slide. but umpires still are
winning those arguments.
1t was a bitter blow, for Hudson
followed with single that served
only to move Cleary to second before
Case popped out and Spence flied
out.
The Mats placed the tying run in
scoring position in the ninth when
Sullivan launched the inning with a
single and Clary sacrificed, but Hud-
son looked at a third strike and
Case lined to Di Maggie.
Hudson preserved his record OF
never having won a game at Fenway
Park, although he has pitched here
only four times In three years.
