The Washington Nationals were up by a run in the 10th and just 3 outs away from advancing in the Baseball Maelstrom Best of the 1930s Tournament, but the Boston Red Sox had other plans. Elden Auker and his unique submarine-style kept Washington hitters off-balance into the 7th inning when Luke Sewell hit an RBI single to tie the game at 2. Charlie Wagner had a rough 10th in relief for the Sox, loading the bases with no outs. But a Dave Harris Sac Fly plated the only Washington run. Meanwhile, Monte Weaver allowed just 7 hits and 2 runs in 9 innings for Washington. Jake Russell came in to close out the 10th, but walked Doc Cramer drew a walk to lead off the inning. Jimmie Foxx followed with a double. That’s when Ted Williams hit one back to the mound that Russell couldn’t hold on to, allowing the tying run to score. Two batters later, Lou Finney was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. Joe Vosmik was 0 for 4, but drew the bases-loaded walk to give the Boston Red Sox the win. After a day off for travel, the two teams will play back at Griffith Stadium to decide which will advance to face the 1939 New York Yankees.
