TEN MTDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Tuesday. July 5, 19S5
Red Sox Beat Yankees Twice;
37 Home Runs Hit in Majors
Br NORMAN MILLER
United Press Sports Writtr
Maybe it's time those Ameri
can League front-runners began
devoting some serious thoughts
to Manager Mike Higgins ram
paging Red Sox.
There were many who felt
downright-sorry for Mike, the
freshman manager, when his
youngster-laden club was dump
ed into sixth place, Id games
off the pace, back on June 6.
But here they are one month
later, only eight games behind
the league-leading New xorK
Yankees, from whom they swept
a holiday double-header, A-2 and
10-5. That gave the Bosox a
streak of 10 victories in their
last 11 games and 24 of their
last 29. At'that rate, they couia
make Higgins a top candidate
for manager-of-the-year.
Can they keep this up? Well,
throughout this streak the Sox
have comeup'with solid pitch
ing, plenty ' power in Ted
Williams. Jackie Jensen and
Norm Zauchin,-and some hus
tling, heads-up baseball.
Take that double-header sweep
against the Yankees, for exam
pie. Williams hit his 10th homer
and a double to help win ine
opener; and Jensen connected
for a grand slam (nis i7tnj ana
Zauchin for a three-run blast
(his 16th) to clinch the nightcap.
Willard Nixon demonstrated his
customary ' mastery over the
Yankees for five innings and
then retired because of the heat.
Ike Delock finished up with four
shutout innings. After Mel Par
nell was knocked out in the sec
ond game, young Tom Hurd
pitched 61-3 scoreless innings
to earn the victory.
Home Run Salute
Major league clubs saluted
Independence Day with a salvo
of 37 homers just three short
of tne au-tune recora ior a sin
gle day. There, were 20 hit in
the National League and 17 in
the American.
The Cleveland Indians took
over second place, five games
behind New York, by taking
both games of a twin bill from
the Detroit Tigers, 6-5 in 15 in
nings and 8-5. The Chicago
White Sox dropped to third
place when they split with the
Kansas City Athletics, winning
ihe opener 8-3 and dropping the
second game, 4-3. In the only
single-game program, the Balti
more Orioles beat the Washing
ten Senators, 6-2.
. In the National League, tne
Btooklyn Dodgers opened' a
12li-game lead by beating the
Philadelphia Phils twice, 11-2
and 6-3. The second place Chi
cago Cubs lost the opening
game to the Cincinnati Kedlegs,
6-3, then won the nightcap, 4-3;
the St. Louis Cardinals swept
the Milwaukee Braves 4-2 and
5-4 in 10 innings; and the New
York Giants split with the Pitts
burgh Pirates, coming back tp
win the second game 5-3 in 11
innings after losing the opener,
4-3.
; Don Newcombe 'pitched an
eight-hitter for his 14th triumph
and Duke. Snider hit a pair of
Dodger homers in the opening
game. In the nightcap, . Clem
Labine pitched the full nine in
nings for 'the first time since
his victory over the Giants in
the 1951 pennant playoff. La
bine gave up only six hits and
contributed a home run. Carl
Furillo hit a homer in each
game.
Cardinals Advance Notch
Rip Repulski's seventh-inning
homer broke a 2-2 tie to help
Tawi TnVinlcti win fVin farH9
cpener with a six-hitter. Bill
Virdon's single after a triple by
Wally Moon broke up the night
cap in the 10th inning. Repulski
also hit a second game homer.
By winning two, the Cards ad
vanced one notch to sixth place.
Art Fowler's four-hitter and
Ted Kluszewski's 27th homer
played important roles in Cin
cinnati's victory, while Gene
Baker's fifth inning home run
provided the Cubs with the mar
gin of their nightcap win.
Pittsburgh won the opener
from the Giants when Windy
McCall and Paul Giel each walk
ed two batters in the ninth to
force home the winning . run.
Willie Mays' 23rd homer his
second of the day clinched the
nightcap for the Giants.
Cleveland spotted Detroit a
5-1 lead in each game and rallied
to win both. Hal Naragon's
pinch single in the 15th won
the opener after Ralph Kiner
had hit a homer in the eighth
and a run-producing single to
tie the score. Larry Doby hit
two homers and Ai Rosen wal
loped a two-run blast in Cleve
land's nightcap rally.
Connie Johnson, back for a
second try in the majors, pitched
the White Sox to a seven-hit
triumph in the opener, but Hec
tor Lopez singled home Vic
Power in the eighth inning of
the nightcap to give Kansas City
a split. Ray Moore's six-hitter
and Willie Miranda's tie-breaking
eighth-inning single were
the key factors in the Orioles'
victory over the Senators.
