WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Charlie Gehringer robbed Ken Keltner of a base hit.
Charlie Gehringer had 5 hits and scored 5 times as the Detroit Tigers defeated
the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings by a score of 12 to 11 at Briggs
Stadium.
Both teams were tied at 9 runs apiece after nine innings. Detroit was
victorious in the 10th inning. After an out was recorded, Gehringer began
the Detroit spurt when he drew a walk. Hank Greenberg was next and he drew a
walk. Rudy York then belted a three-run homer resulting in an exciting win
for Detroit and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. The
score went back-and-forth with the lead changing 5 times.
Roxie Lawson(7-1) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 inning and allowing 2
runs. Denny Galehouse(3-2) was the losing pitcher in relief.
