But the Swats still found a way to lose to the Dennis Eckersley and the Boston Splinters 6-4 to drop to 0-4 to start the season. Ty Cobb reached on a Wade Boggs error to start the game for the Swats, but was thrown out at 3rd by Ted Williams on a Rod Carew single. Iv\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez then threw out Carew trying to steal second before a Harry Heilmann double which could have scored them both. Meanwhile, Boston&#8217;s Frank Thomas hit a 2-run homer to get the Splinters on the board. A Joe DiMaggio misplay would allow 2 more runners to score with 2 outs in the 4th. Another error by Heilmann in the 8th would lead to two more Boston runs. Despite that, Molitor&#8217;s 9th inning homer would cut the Boston lead to 6-4 before Joe Mauer flew out to end the game. Lefty Gomez pitched well for New York. While he walked 7, he allowed just 6 hits and 2 earned runs. The Swats are now 0-4 to start the season. Roberto Alomar was thrown out twice trying to steal by Rodr\u00edguez in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/04-04-2023_BOS_NYA.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Splinters @ Swats - 4\/4\/23\">Splinters @ Swats &#8211; 4\/4\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Swats&#8217; Paul Molitor went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 home runs, and 4 RBI.
