One bad inning doomed Pete Broberg to defeat when the Red Sox scored five runs off the ex-Dartmouth star in the second to beat the Senators, 6-2. Two walks around an error loaded the bases and the first two runs counted on a single by Bob Montgomery. After a balk admitted another tally, John Kennedy added two runs with a homer.
