In fact, Buzhardt and Whitey Ford held the Yankees and the Chicago White Sox to just 3 hits combined through 6. Mickey Mantle finally broke through with a triple in the 7th. Yogi Berra followed with a double, and two batters later, Elston Howard took Buzhardt deep to center for a 2-run home run to give New York a 3-0 lead. A couple of singles and a sacrifice fly in the 8th broke up Ford&#8217;s shutout. Berra led off the 9th with a single off Ray Herbert, and Johnny Blanchard followed with his 1st homer of the Tournament, a 2-run shot that gave the Yankees a 5-1 lead. A tiring Ford retired Pete Ward, but Ron Hansen and Dave Nicholson followed with back-to-back homers to end his day. Hal Reniff retired the next two batters to give the Yankees a 5-3 win. Chicago will need to win Game 5 in New York to avoid elimination and force a Best-of-7 series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB60s\/Scoresheets\/10-03-2025_NYY_CHW.png\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB60s\/Scoresheets\/10-03-2025_NYY_CHW.png\">&#8217;61 Yankees @ &#8217;64 White Sox &#8211; 10\/3\/25<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees didn&#8217;t get their 1st hit off John Buzhardt until the 6th inning.
