Vic Raschi tossed a complete game and hit a home run at Briggs Stadium as the spectacular New



York Yankees, running on all cylinders, ripped the Detroit Tigers by a large



12 to 2 margin.







In the top of the 4th inning New York went on top for good with 3 runs using 2



hits. Hank Bauer got things going when he hit a single. Cliff Mapes



followed, but he was set down on strikes. Billy Johnson then drew a walk.



Raschi was up next and he drew a walk to load the bases. Phil Rizzuto



stepped into the box and would hit into a force play which plated a run.



Jerry Coleman kept the rally going and doubled driving home another two



teammates. New York had many opportunities throughout the game and scored in



6 separate innings.







Raschi(6-5) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Ted Gray(1-2) was



the losing pitcher. He gave up 4 hits and 5 walks in 5 innings.
