‘65 Bosox take 3 of 4 from ‘97 Tigers

8/16-8/17 - Tiger Stadium
GAME 1 - Red Sox 3, Tigers 1
Earl Wilson was able to ride the power bats of Lee Thomas and Jim Gosger, both who hit solo blasts in the top of the 8th to break a 1-1 deadlock.  Dick Radatz would come on to get the final two outs and notch the save.

GAME 2 - Red Sox 2, Tigers 1
Bill Monbouquette came one out of going the distance before Radatz would come on to get Joe Randa to ground back to the box with runners on the corners.  Jim Gosger would continue his hot hitting going 3 for 4 with a triple and a double and missing the cycle without the homer.

8/18-8/19 - Fenway Park
GAME 3 - Red Sox 6, Tigers 5
Detroit scored 3 big runs in the top of the second to chase Red Sox starter Dave Morehead from the hill.  Boston would answer back the following inning by posting a 3 spot of their own to make it 4-3.  Detroit would fight to keep it close, but Boston would score a key insurance run in the bottom of the 8th to make it 6-4, when Tony Horton doubled home Yaz.  Tony Conigliaro's 3 run shot in the 3rd over the Green Monstah was demoralizing to the Tigers, who had their first lead in the series to this point.  As a matter of fact Radatz came on in the 9th for the save for the third consecutive game.

GAME 4 - Tigers 9, Red Sox 1
Five Tiger pitchers combined to tame the Bosox bats.  Detroit  destroyed Dennis Bennett (5 runs / 7 IP).  Tony Clark had a monster day at the plate going 3 for 5 with 6 RBI's and 2 homers, including a 3 run shot.
