A SEASON TO REMEMBER
...
The sloppy Sox lose to the
Angels
August 13,
1975 ...
Bruce Bochte doubled and singled to help the Angels beat the
Red Sox, 8 to 3. Ed Figueroa took his 11th win against eight losses.
He struck out four and did not walk a batter.
A six-run third inning spelled the end for the Sox early in the game.
There was an infield hit, a throw that drew Cecil Cooper off the
first base bag, a wild pitch for a run, three different types of
errors, and a 140 foot hit that went for a double. When the inning
was over all Reggie Cleveland could do was just shake his head.
The Sox came into the third leading 2 to 1. They scored the first run
of the game in the very first inning, on a base hit by Denny Doyle
and a double to left-center by Fred Lynn. Their second run came an
inning later on singles by Carlton Fisk and Cooper, followed by a
double play grounder by Rick Burleson, that allowed Fisk to come
across.
A pair of doubles got one of the runs back for the Angels in the
second inning. Then in the third inning Morris Nettles beat out an
infield single off Bob Heise's glove at third. With Nettles breaking
on the pitch, Jerry Remy bounced a ball over the mound. Doyle tried
unsuccessfully to tag out Nettles at second, then threw to first. The
throw appeared to get there in time, but first base umpire Jim
McKean, called Remy safe.
After some squabbling, Mickey Rivers tied the game up with a double
and put runners on second and third. Cleveland then bounced a
breaking ball that got by Fisk and Adrian Garrett bounced one past
the drawn-in infield. A single by Dave Collins sent Cleveland packing
in favor of Jim Burton. Two hits, a walk and an error later saw the
Angels up 7-2.
In the sixth the Angels added another run with Remy on third and
Rivers on first. Rivers broke for second and Fisk tried to cut him
down, but his throw sailed into center field and Remy scored. |
