Stephens belted a bases loaded
homer and Bob Doerr raped one
with one man aboard.

Walt Masterson before Ted Will
liams banged his first homer of
the season, off Bob Porterf1eld in
the fourth.

the fifth when IL men went to

A dropped third strike gave the
Yanks chance and they followed
it with five hits and a walk.
Four more Yankee runs of AL
Papai in the sixth won for the
Yankees.
