Tuesday evening at the Big Ball Orchard in the South Bronx. The Team form the South Side took the train north to face the one time Bronx Bombers. A relic of past glory, Whitey Ford squares off again against Tommy John, a matchup he win last time out. It was also the last time the Chisox lost.It’s a faceoff of two crafty lefty’s, expect lots of soft outs in this one. First inning both teams went in order. Each team managed a single in the second and again went in order in the 3rd. Bottom 4, Nantke reaches second on an error by usually sure fielding John. Ellie Howard singled The Mick home to open the scoring. Ford found trouble in the 5th, Adair singled with one out then walked Hansen to put 2 on, but Tommy could not help himself allowing Ford to escape with the lead. The Chairman of the Board flirted with disaster again in the 6th, Walt ‘No Neck’ Williams ripped a double past Charlie Smith. He moved to third in a grounder then Ford lost the plate, walking Agee and Ward. Slick rebounded to whiff Adair and Kenworthy. Meanwhile Tommy John handled the home club with ease thru 7th. Top 7, Ron Hansen caught a Ford offering in the sweet spot to tie the game. Top 8, Pete Ward provided the eventual winning run, hooking a ‘cut’ fastball over the 296 foot sign in right. John cruised the of the way, tossing a complete game to keep the Sox winning ways away from Comisky.
