July 13, 1954 thru Aug. 29, 1954

in the July 24, 1954—ANDERSON FRLIEF JOB GIVES G-SOX 9-4 WIN—Gold Sox win 3rd Straight in Comeback—The Gold Sox took the lead in the fifth on Frosty Kennedy’s solo homer in the fifth, then erupted for four more off Oscar Reguera and Marcus Job in the sixth. It was the third straight Amarillo victory after a string of 10 consecutive defeats. The g-Sox got off to an early lead Friday night, scoring four in the first inning. With one out, Bill Wilhite walked and, after Goose Goff had grounded out, scored on Kennedy’s looping single to right. A single by Johnny Bruzga and a walk to Johnny Rucker filled the bases, and Kennedy strolled in when Charley Balciulis was hit by a pitch. Kennedy’s line-drive homer over left led off the lower half of the sixth to break the tie. Reguera lasted through that round, but with one gone in the sixth, Willhite and Goff doubled in succession and Job came in. Kennedy scratched a double off Ellison’s leg and Bruzga was walked intentionally. Rucker singled to left center to score Kennedy.
