...ninth, with one out and two to go, Chicago Manager Phil Cavarretta came up as a pinch hitter. He blasted a long ball into the rightfield stands, and the crowd sighed in relief as it went foul. Cavarretta went out on an easy fly to centerfield. The final batter worked Erskine to a full 3-ball, 2-strike count before meekly grounding out.
