Wade Boggs and Jim Rice hit solo shots in the 1st off Boston starter Lefty Gomez, but Ripken responded in the next inning with a 2-run blast of his own to tie the score. Boggs hit an RBI double in the 5th to put the Swats back on top. That&#8217;s where things stood until the 9th. Paige allowed a leadoff double to Frank Thomas. Lou Gehrig hit a sharp grounder to Alan Trammell, who couldn&#8217;t come up with it, putting runners on the corners with no outs. That&#8217;s when Ripken hit one deep to left to win it for Boston. Ripken was 3 for 4 with 2 HR and 5 RBI. It&#8217;s the 2nd straight start that Johnson has failed to get the win despite allowing just 2 runs in each. Ted Williams was 0 for 4, failing to reach base for the first time in a month, and just the 2nd time this season. The loss dropped New York to 18-23, while Boston improved to 22-18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=573\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York @ Boston &#8211; 5\/17\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Swats closer Satchel Paige blew a 3-2 lead in the 9th, as Cal Ripken Jr. hit a 3-run walk-off homer to give the Boston Splinters a 5-3 win.
