Lou Gehrig blasted 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI and Christy Mathewson went 9
strong innings as the Two Ring Circus defeated the Y Tu Mama Tambien 8 to 1
at Fenway Park '71.
Gehrig was a one-man wrecking crew. He popped a two-run clout over the fence
in the 1st inning, blasted a two-run home run (his 3rd of the season) in the
6th inning and lined a single resulting in a run in the 9th inning. Two Ring
finished with 12 hits in the victory.
The victory was credited to Mathewson(1-0) who went the distance, allowing 1
run. Jack Pfiester(1-1) was the losing pitcher. He pitched 5 and 1/3 innings
allowing 7 hits and 2 walks.
The Donald was very impressed with his pitcher, Mathewson, 'He had unusually
good pitch placement this afternoon. It was almost unfair - but a beautiful
game to watch from where I sat'
