(Not) Hitting the Wal...

GAME 2 - Shibe Park - Philadelphia, PA - A's 3, Red Sox 0
Philadelphia leads series 2-0
Different day...same score. This time Rube Walberg spins the complete game shutout over the Bosox instead of Grove. Mel Parnell gutted out 8 innings, but once he gave up a run in the first he was virtually doomed to defeat. Jimmie Foxx was the offense in this contest as he clouted two mamouth shots off southpaw Parnell. Dib Williams added a solo shot of his own, which accounted for the second run of the game. Walberg's (8-2, 1.74) 3 hit shutout extended Boston's scoreless streak to 18 consecutive innings. Johnny Pesky had 2 of Boston's 3 hits.
