“DIARY OF A WINNER”
|
THE "GOLD DUST TWINS" AND June 26, 1975 ... Carlton Fisk, playing in only his fourth game after a year's absence, slapped a curve ball from Pat Dobson into the left field screen. Meanwhile Fred Lynn drove in three runs with a triple and a single to lead the Sox to a 6 to 1 win over the Yankees. Luis Tiant went all the way to win his 11th game of the year. Tiant gave up the only Yankee run in the first inning without giving up a hit. His first pitched nailed Walt Williams on the chest. Williams went to second on a walk and scored on a sacrifice fly by Chris Chambliss. Bernie Carbo made a miraculous catch, crashing into the centerfield wall. Luis then settled down and struck out eight Yankees while giving up seven hits. The Sox scored three times in the fourth inning. Rick Burleson and Carl Yastrzemski singled and Lynn scored them both with a triple to right center that got by Williams. Cecil Cooper's base hit brought in Lynn and the Sox were up 3-1. Dobson got knocked out by the Sox in the seventh inning. Fisk lined his homer and singles by Denny Doyle, Rick Miller, Rick Burleson and Lynn accounted for two more runs. The rest of the night belonged to El Tiante, who was at his best. |
