Ninth Inning Jinx Breaks for Red Davis Street Crew
The Charleston Charlies finally lost the ninth inning jinx as Louisville, Rochester, Peninsula and Syracuse pushed late runs to win games. Colonels scored heavy in the eighth and ninth to beat Charleston 4-3 on May 24 and 7-3 on June 2, then a 4-3 victory on June 3. Manager Joe Altobelli notes home games are tougher due to crowd pressure. Tommy Henrich argues the reserve clause limits players, comparing DiMaggio and Williams pay.
