Y.Berra grounds to 1B. They get the force at 2B, but the batter beats the throw to 1B to avoid the DP.
(2 outs and one runner on. Should be three outs, but Yogi = SPEED)
G.McDougald hits a bloop single to RCF.
B.Serena smokes a line drive single to RCF. Y.Berra scores. G.McDougald is safe at 3B in a close play.
(Gil = SPEED)
J.Garagiola enters the game as a pinch-hitter for T.Lee.
F.Schupp enters the game to pitch.
J.Garagiola hits a groundball single to RF. G.McDougald scores.
Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola were best friends growing up on The Hill in St. Louis. Amazingly, when the two tried out together for the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cards spurned Berra in favor of Garagiola. Oops.
So one friend hustles to avoid the third and final out and the other drives in the winning run.
