“DIARY OF A WINNER”

THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, PART 9
"IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER"...

May 15, 1986 ... No game scheduled ... Joe Sambito has given up only one earned run in his 10 appearances (2.08 ERA). Even more impressive, not one of the 13 baserunners Sambito has inherited has scored. The Sox are happy to have him be a one-batter specialist if he can keep getting left-handed hitters out in late-game situations.

Dwight Evans has a pulled left hamstring.
