GAME ID: 98 - SUNDAY, APRIL 28TH , 1946 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Philadelphia Phillies (7-6) 1 0 1 2 0 0 3 0 0 7 9 0
Boston Braves (5-8) 1 2 0 0 1 0 4 0 X 8 12 0
Boston Topples Philadelphia, 8-7
Buddy Kerr was a vital contributor to the 8-7 Boston victory over Philadelphia. The Braves shortstop went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The loss drops Philadelphia to 7-6.

Had Mike Sandlock not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Sandlock hit a 2-run triple. That made the score 8-7, in favor of the Braves.

"It was a solid team effort," said Kerr after the game.
