Game 1 Oakland Coliseum
Masterson vs Rijo
Boston 14 Oakland 7
Boston got off to a quick start and never looked back. The Red Sox batted around twice in the first 3 innings putting up 7 runs on the board and led 7-2 after 3. The onslaught continued as the Sox scored two more in the 4th, 5th and 7th and a solo run in the 8th. Oakland made the score closer than in looked by scoring 4 runs in the last 2 innings against a couple of little used RP. Dom KiMaggio had 5 hits and scored 3 runs while Walt Droppo had 4 hits and 3 RBI. The MVP of the game was definitely catcher Birdie Tebbetts who had 3 hits, including a HR, 3 runs scored and 4 RBI.
Game 2 Oakland Coliseum
Parnell vs Andujar
Boston 6 Oakland 4
Boston again took an early lead on a 2nd inning HR by Matt Batts and a 3rd inning SF by Al Zarilla. This time the Oakland team was not intimidated as they took a 3-2 after 6 on the strength of a Terry Steinbach RBI single in the 4th and again in the 6th. A Reggie Jackson RBI single gave the A’s their first lead of the series after 6. Oakland increased the lead to 4-2 when Luis Polonia singled home a run in the 7th. However the A’s bullpen could not protect the lead. Gene Nelson allowed 2 runs in the 8th to tie the game on a Walt Droppo RBI double and a RBI ground out by Dom DiMaggio. Jay Howell was no better in the 9th as he gave up a 2 run HR to Bobby Doerr that proved to be the game winner and gave the Red Sox a 6-4 win.
Game 3 Fenway Park
Stewart vs Dobson
Oakland 4 Boston 3 (11 Innings)
For the 3rd straight game Boston jumped out to the lead with a run in the 1st on a SF by Ted Williams. The A’s came right back in the top of the 2nd to tie the game at 1 on an Alfredo Griffin single. The Red Sox regained the lead on a solo HR by Dom DiMaggio in the 4th but again Oakland struck right back to tie it in the top of the 5th on a Luis Polonia HR. The score remained 2-2 as Dave Stewart and Joe Dobson tossed goose eggs. Steward went 8 innings and Dobson 9 and then it was the bullpen’s turn. Oakland took the lead in the 10th when Terry Steinbach singled to right for a 3-2 lead. This time it was the Sox who came right back to tie the game on a Johnny Pesky 2 out single. Oakland again regained the lead in the top of the 11th on a Luis Polonia SF and this time the Oakland bullpen did it’s job as Eric Plunk retired Boston in order to win the get-away game, 4-3
