Fred Lynn did not feel well one evening so he relaxed and collected three home runs and ten RBIs. Jim Rice was supposedly jealous of Lynn, so, according to the experts, he played better. And who can explain a ten game streak in July when the Sox averaged eight runs a game just when the pitching staff was taking a vacation...
Knoll, who went two-for-three with four RBIs, crossed the plate in the fourth after collecting a two-base walk. Ball four got away from Husky catcher Steve McKinnon and rolled to the backstop, allowing the hustling Knoll to move into scoring position. Pete Bannish brought him across the plate one out later with a single...
...over rookie phenom Fred Lynn on the Monday nightbroadcast from Detroit on June 16. That was the night he broke his hitting streak, but it turned out to merely be a rest as he belted three homers and missed another by a foot and racked up ten RBIs the next night. Boston fans already knew how good Lynn was, but Gowdy dutifully informed the rest of the world...

Stennett tied a major league record recently with seven straight hits in the 22-0 demolition of the Chicago Cubs...
