Billy Werber stepped up next and he drew a walk. Eddie Morgan then drew a walk to load the bases. Roy Johnson stepped in and he hit a deep fly plating a run. Moose Solters stepped into the box and laced a single scoring the final run of the inning. Boston had 16 hits for the afternoon while New York had 13.
