Braves Win as Hitting Falters in 7 5 Victory over Senators
The Boston Braves won 7 to 5 in Washington as pitching misadventures fueled the win. Joe Engel struggled on the mound with seven baserunners in five innings, while Boston’s bats produced only five hits but capitalized on walks, errors, and timely scoring. Berlin and Gowdy figures appear among the fielding miscues that shaped the contest.
