Baseball Classic Replays

  Of today's five games, there were two were hard fought one-run affairs, one of which ended in a walkoff.  In the first game in Boston, the Nationals were able to hang on to a slim lead despite the Red Sox getting a run back in the bottom of the 9th inning and having the tying run on second base when the game ended.  The other one, in the Bronx, is today's Game of the Day. Game of the Day: Philadelphia Athletics vs. New York Yankees 4-23-1940 (Day Game): 1940-Athletics (2-3) vs. 1940-Yankees (3-1) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E 1940-Athletics 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 2 5 8 1 1940-Yankees 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 1 1 6 11 0 Tommy Henrich (NYY) The finish to this game in the Bronx was wild.  The Yankees led most of the day, answering the Athletics' run in the top of the 8th with its own run in the bottom half of the inning.  In the 9th, however, the Athletics' Dee Miles and Wally Moses each drove in a run to tie the game.
