Red Sox 2, Tigers 1, bottom of the 9th...
Ernie Harwell: "Here we go, bottom of the 9th, Tigers trail 2-1, they'll send Maxwell, Brown and Fernandez against Fornieles. Ol' Paw Paw pinch-hitting for Gerry Staley, who pitched 2 perfect innings in relief of Frank Lary. The pitch to Maxwell, here it comes... Swing and a miss, strike 3! No Sunday punch on Friday Night as Maxwell goes down swinging to open the Tiger ninth.
Now here's Brown, the catcher walked his last time up in the 7th, he also grounded into a double play in the 2nd and struck out in the 5th... 3-1 the count, the pitch to Brown... he walked him! Fornieles just missed with that last pitch to put the tying run on and bring Chico Fernandez up to try to move the runner around with 1 out.
No indication of a bunt by Boston, they'll set up for a double play. Fernandez 0 for 3, but reached on a Fielder's Choice last time in the 7th. The pitch to Chico, he swings... Fly ball, right field, Jensen giving chase, he looks up... IT'S OUTTA HERE AND THE TIGERS WIN! There's a mob greeting Fernandez at home, he didn't hit it all that hard, just enough to barely clear the right field fence, giving the Tigers only their 6th win in 15, while the Red Sox drop only their 5 in 15 games. Fernandez is heading back for the dugout, the Tiger fans are anticipating a possible curtain call by Fernandez and here it is!(acknowledges cheers) In the 9th, 2 runs, 1 hit, a walk, nobody left, the final score, The Tigers 3, the Boston Red Sox 2."
