The Boston Splinters run machine met the worst pitching staff with predictable results. The Splinters batted around in back-to-back innings and hit 5 homeruns on their way to a 14-6 win over the New York Swats. Tony Oliva hit his 2nd grand slam of the season, but it was Ted Williams who continued to lead the team. Williams went 3 for 5 with his league-leading 7th homerun. Through 12 games, he’s hitting .490. New York started hot, with Lou Boudreau taking advantage of a Harmon Killebrew miscue, hitting a 3-run homer in the 3rd to put the Swats up 5-1 heading into the 4th. That’s when the damage began, with Boston plating 5 runs in the 4th and 7 in the 5th against Bob Lemon and Early Wynn. Catfish Hunter picked up the win, scattering 10 hits and striking out 7 in 7 innings. Boston improved to 9-3, while New York fell to 4-8.
