Despite seven bases on balls and
three Yankee errors, Reynolds
frustrated the Mats whenever
they threatened to come up with
big innings.
Mishaps Hurt Scarborough.
Scarborough. who has beaten
the Yankees only once in nine
decisions, got in deep trouble in
the third inning when inept field
ing helped give the champions
three runs and 81 lead they
never relinqulshed.
Reynolds started unimpressively
and was in Jeopardy in the first
inning when the Mats scored one
run and seemingly were set to
produce others. Gil Coan walked
to open the inning and moved to
second as Sam Dente grounded
out Irv Noren also walked and
the bases were loaded when Eddie
Robinson looped a single to
center.
Eddie Stewart popped out, but
Reynolds walked Eddie Yost to
force across Coan. Allie then
braced to whip a third strike past
AL Kozar, leaving three Mats
stranded.
Scarborough ran a string of
scoreless innings to IL before he

DiMaggiO ClOuts One.
Browns single and DiMaggio's
triple to the flagpole gave the
Yankees another run in the sew

to its final proportions in the
eighth. Collins got an infield hit.
Coleman sacrificed. Reynolds beat
out a grounder back of second

In the eighth. Robinson started
on with a walk and took second
when Stewart grounded out. Yost
legged out an infield hit and the
Mats had Robinson on third and
YoSt on second when Coleman
threw past Collins after fielding
the ball. Sherry Robertson batted

and Evans went down swinging to
check that bid.
