The Sox win on a 9th inning walk-off June 5, 1976 ... Rick Burleson's two-out ninth inning single drove home Doug Griffin with the winning run and gave the Red Sox a 4 to 3 win over the California Angels behind the five hit pitching of Ferguson Jenkins. Burleson, who slugged a solo homer in the fifth inning for the Sox' third run delivered his walk-off hit after Griffin walked and went to second on a passed ball. Cecil Cooper had helped the Sox take a 2-0 lead with a two-run base hit in the fourth, that brought in Jim Rice who had singled and Carlton Fisk who had doubled before him. Burleson's homer made the score 3-0. The Angels scored their first run in the eight inning on Ron Jackson's home run, making the score 3-1. They tied the game with two out in the top of the ninth when Tommy Davis hit a two-run homer, his first of the season. It came after Cooper's throw got by Jenkins, covering first on a grounder by Bob Jones. Jenkins out-dueled Frank Tanana and struck-out five batters. |
