Unusual Ninth Inning Play Seals Win for Moran and Walker
In a rare ninth inning play, Moran scores the winning run as Walker reaches first on a bounder. Sentell, at Blobile, had no chance to throw, and the run clinched the game. The scorer faced a tough decision with one out and Moran crossing the plate just as Sentell tried to retire Walker. The controversy sparked discussion among observers about proper scoring and the play’s legality. Also reported, James Calagher of the American League refused returns to major league ranks after two offers and outfield duties were rejected.
