It was a real slugfest in Fenway Park where the Boston Red Sox finally
out-scored the Kansas City Athletics by a score of 18 to 10 in.
 
Ted Williams helped send the fans home happy.  He clubbed a solo home run in
the 5th inning and doubled scoring a run in the 6th inning.  Boston bats were
hot in the 4th inning with 5 runs on 4 hits, the 6th inning which saw them
plate 5 runs on 4 hits and the 8th inning which saw them score 5 runs on 4
hits.  Both teams totaled 15 hits on the night.  
 
The win was credited to Leo Kiely(1-0) who went 4 innings allowing no runs.
Murry Dickson(2-1) was the loser in relief.  He couldn't find the plate,
issuing 5 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings.
