Limerick erupted with the game winning runs in the top of the 9th inning scoring 5 runners on 4 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Yogi Berra who silenced the crowd when he launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun (his 10th of the season). Limerick rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon. Wilbur Cooper(2-2) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 innings and allowing no runs. Herb Score(7-5) was tagged with the loss. Jimmy Dugan was feeling mighty fine as he answered questions in his office after the game, 'Now that was one fine ending! Did you see how the crowd just sat there in silence after the winning run scored? Here we are celebrating wildly, and the stadium is cloaked in virtual silence. Weird. but GREAT!' |
