Carl Erskine vs Joe Hatten
Once again the '47 crew jumped out to an early lead courtesy of a RBI triple by Spiker Jorgensen and a fielder's choice by pitcher Hatten. That lead would be short lived as the '53 team unloaded it's full arsenal for 3 runs in the top of the 4th. Jackie, who is doing double duty on both varsity's, led off with a double and two batters later scored on a single by Skoonj. Campy put the punctuation mark on the inning with a 2 run shot and just like that Joe Hatten was down 3-2. It would get a little bit worse before it would get better for the '47 bunch. An error by Jorgensen at third would lead to Erskine scoring a run to make it 4-2. Unfortunately for the '53 team that run came on a DP that Jackie grounded into, which squandered a bases loaded no out opportunity. That opened the door for '47, which benefited greatly by a 2 out 3 run homer by pinch hitter extraordinaire Arky Vaughn. Hatten and Max Casey would combine to shutout '53 over the final 3 innings to make Vaughn's homer stand up in this one run nail biter.
