Senators Shade Kansas City 2-1 in tight baseball tilt
Dick Bosman pitched five hits over eight innings and scored the tying run on a botched play as the Washington Senators edged Kansas City 2-1. Bosman walked Jim Rooker to start the eighth, Hank Allen singled and Frank Howard scored on Hernandez’s grounder to put the Senators ahead. The win improves Bosman’s and the club’s standing in a pitchers duel marked by Boston and Chicago connections in the season’s end.
