1951 Baseball Tour of America - July 4, 1951 American League

As part of this project, something a little different as we check in on the doubleheader games on July 4.

Senators @ Yankees

Senators   6
Yankees    9

This was a wild back and forth tilt that turned for good in the Yankees direction when they scored three in the bottom of the seventh.


Senators    7
Yankees     8

The Yankees tie up the second game 5-5 with a run in the ninth. Each team scored a run in the tenth and then again in the eleventh. The Senators failed to score in the twelfth, but the Yankees did. Darn, they're good.


Red Sox @ Athletics

Red Sox     6
Athletics   4

The Athletics stay close to the Red Sox, but can't quite catch up to them.


Red Sox     4
Athletics   5

The Athletics stake out an early 3-1 lead and hold on for dear life as a Red Sox rally in the top of the ninth falls a run short.




White Sox @ Tigers

White Sox   8
Tigers      6

The Tigers led early, but the ChiSox surged late scoring 5 runs after the fifth inning.


White Sox   5
Tigers      6


Once again the Tigers take the early lead only to see the Pale Hose storm back and tie the game 5-5. But this time the Tigers answered with a run in the bottom of the ninth to split the doubleheader.




Indians @ Browns

Indians    7
Browns     3

The Indians broke a 2-2 in the sixth with a single run and then put the cherry on the sundae with a three run ninth.



Indians    8
Browns     5

The Browns draw first blood with a run in the bottom of the first, but after that it was Indians.
