Ray Boone blasted 3 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Yankee Stadium as the
indomitable Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 9 to 6.
Boone was unconscious all day. The New York fans hated to see him approaching
the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He hit a bases-empty
home run in the 2nd inning, tripled in the 6th inning, clubbed a three-run
home run in the 7th inning and blasted a solo shot in the 9th inning. The
New York batters didn't put up a fight in the bottom of the 9th.
The winning pitcher was Paul Foytack(11-9) who allowed 6 runs in 7 innings.
Walt Masterson gained credit for his 1st save. Tom Sturdivant(5-4) suffered
the loss. He allowed 3 homeruns in 6 and 1/3 innings of work.
'It's almost like the ball was trying to hit my bat,' Boone said. 'Whenever I
would swing, the ball found the sweet spot.'
