American League Baseball 8/24/50

Post by lgcrowder67 »

Seattle 5 Washington 4

Seattle starting pitcher Mike Moore had a rough first inning for Seattle and had it not been for a great throw by leftfielder he may not have survived and kept going for 6.2 innings giving up four runs on ten hits, one walk, five strikeouts. Washington roared out to a 3-0 lead on four first inning hits and a walk. Moore walked the lead off batter Heinie Bell. Cotton Reiss singled, and Dick Damaska doubled in two runs.

It would have been 3-0 when Roy Bailey singled to left had not Damaska stumbled coming around third and was thrown out from here to eternity by left fielder Andy Pendergast.

John Harrelson had a one out single sending Bailey to third base. Ted Kreitz singled in Bailey to make it 3-0.

Moore struck out Meloan and got Walden on a fly to left to end the eight batter long inning.

Seattle made a dent in the lead in the second inning.

Paul Huntz walked with one out and the always aggressive Mariners were steal running. Huntz stole second base trailing by three runs. Bill Springer grounded to second, Huntz advanced to third. Larry Sweeney hit his 6th homerun of the season, second for Seattle, with one on to make the score 3-2. Washington.

The good defensive play and Sweeney's homerun reinvigorated Moore and he managed to give the Mariners six full innings but ran into trouble in the seventh. A pair of one out singles by Bell and Reiss put runners on first and third. Damaska got a run in with a medium deep high fly ball to right field to make it 4-2 Washington and getting late.

Seattle 8th inning. Velazquaz walked to get the inning off to a good start. Papish, batting for pitcher Roy Grand singled to right fiel off McCarren. That was the last batter for the starter. Jim Hughes replaced him.
Hughes walked Pendergast to load the bases. Paul Atwood grounded to third. Pendergast going on contact scored. (4-3)

Jim Naymick drove the dagger into the hearts of the Washington fans. Two runs scored and the visitors took a 5-4 lead and were three outs away from a sweep of the series. Doug Quinby gave up one hit in the ninth to Heinie Bell, who had a good all around series, but pinch hitter Steve Fisher hit into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game

Seattle is 25-20 two games out.
