May 24, 1938
It was a wild finish to the game at Briggs Stadium in Detroit this afternoon. After getting pounded by the Red Sox 14-10 while coming up short in their comeback attempt yesterday, the Tigers got pounded again but did come back to win the game 9-8 today. Boston starter Left Grove was sailing along until the wheels came off in the bottom of the 9th inning. Hank Greenberg (pictured) blasted a 2 run homer chasing Grove before Don Ross singled in the winning run. Detroit scored 5 runs in the inning to pull out the victory and send the crowd into frenzied celebration.

Hank Greenberg touched them all and had 3 RBI as the Detroit Tigers rallied
impressively to win in dramatic style over Boston Red Sox, 9 to 8.
Detroit came up with the deciding runs in the bottom of the 9th inning as they
scored 5 runs on 4 base hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Greenberg
who electrified Briggs Stadium when he clubbed a two-run home run. Boston
was not lacking for run support as they scored in 6 separate innings, yet
victory eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is also needed to
win ballgames.
Roxie Lawson(3-0) went 1 inning allowing 1 run for the victory. Archie
McKain(0-3) took the loss in relief. He allowed 2 runs and 3 hits without
retiring a batter.
Del Baker was ebullient after the game, 'It's great to win a hard fought game
like that. Our guys just weren't going to be denied. And did you see the
fans - they were going wild! Yes sir, a very enjoyable win this afternoon!'
