Yankees and Phillies Battle as Infield Irons Out
In a tense Fifth Inning at Shibe Park the Yankees and Phillies exchange tense plays with no runs from New York and a leadoff single by Goliat for Philadelphia. Waitkus adds a single and Goliat scores on a misplayed ball tying the game 1-1 as fielding errors and a lengthy stoppage draw out the action. The late sequence has Mize, Reynolds, and Ashburn making impactful outs amid substitutions and pitching changes. The UAW and International Harvester Farmall plant developments add to a day of labor signals and plant idle times.
