HR- Clift, STL (8th inning; 1 on, 1 out)
Billy Rogell's single with the bases loaded plated Dixie Walker in the bottom of the ninth as the Tigers completed a late-inning rally to beat the St. Louis Browns. The Tigers were trailing 7-3 heading into the eighth inning but scored four runs in the frame to tie the game. Rogell led that rally, as well, with a two-run double. In the ninth, Walker led off with a single that was misplayed, enabling Walker to reach second base. Don Ross sacrificed Walker to third, and the Browns intentionally walked pinch-hitter Jo-Jo White and Chet Morgan to load the bases. Rogell followed with a drive into the gap in right center. The game was a sloppy affair, as both teams committed three errors. Harry Eisenstat pitched a perfect ninth in relief and was rewarded with the win.
TIGERS: 59-52; Home: 30-28; Away: 29-24
Rogell was huge in two late rallies for the Tigers
