It’s time for the back end of this short two game set. Both the hone team it’s starting pitcher are looking for redemption as both have had miserable starts. Hank Fischer comes out if the pen to make the spot start for the visitors. Top 2, Reggie Smith benefited from the poor Senator outfield defense, garnering a triple on what should have been a single. Dalton Jones singled, collecting the very valuable two out RBI. In the 3rd, George Scott, relishing in his return to the lineup, blasted one into the left field seats bumping the lead to 5-0. Bob Humphreys tossed two scoreless after taking over for Richert but Dick Lines was not as fortunate. Yaz singled in the 7th, and lo and behold, Petrocelli collected the Sox third triple of the game. The scoring concluded on the top of the 9th off Darrell Knowles. Smith singled and raced home on a two out double by Conigliaro and then danced hone on another hit by Rico. Hank Fischer went the distance, scattering 8 base runners, only once did a runner reach 2nd. The Senators have not won since game 2 of the season, losing streak reaching 9 while heading in the right direction, the a Sox have won their fifth in a row. Interesting, the Bosox had two players who threatened the cycle, both just a double short or nirvana.
