First Meeting in 1948
April 20-22
Tuesday, April 20
Boston 6, Philadelphia 0
Johnny Sain effortlessly shutout the Phillies in the season opener, holding them to six hits and no walks while striking out eight. Philadelphia failed to put together multiple hits in an inning until the ninth, by which point it was to late. Their defense also let them down with three errors leading to the same number of unearned runs scoring. Every Brave but Sibby Sisti had a hit, but even Sisti drove in a run and then later scored after reaching base on an error.

Until the final frame, Boston's only lead of the day came on an RBI single by Bob Elliott in the first. The Phillies responded with two runs in the bottom half after three straight singles to start the game. Bill Voiselle then settled down and the game came down to pitching and defense. After exchanging runs in the middle innings, the Braves tied the game in the eighth thanks to an error by Bert Haas that extended the inning. Then, in the eleventh, Danny Litwhiler drove in a run with an RBI double to break the tie. An error by Eddie Miller two batters later turned the third out into another Boston run. That would prove to be the difference as the Phillies tallied one in the bottom half but could not get the second run, leaving the tying runner on third.BOXSCORE: 1948 Boston Braves At 1948 Philadelphia Phillies 4/21/1948 Braves AB R H RBI AVG Phillies AB R H RBI AVG E.Stanky 2B 6 0 0 0 .125 R.Ashburn LF 5 2 2 0 .333 J.Russell CF 6 0 0 0 .182 E.Verban 2B 5 1 2 2 .444 E.Torgeson 1B 5 2 3 0 .444 B.Haas 3B 5 0 2 0 .333 B.Elliott 3B 5 0 1 1 .250 D.Sisler 1B 3 0 0 1 .143 J.Heath LF 4 1 2 0 .444 D.Ennis RF 5 1 1 0 .222 T.Holmes RF 5 0 1 2 .300 H.Walker CF 5 0 0 0 .000 P.Masi C 4 1 0 0 .222 E.Miller SS 5 0 2 0 .222 S.Sisti SS 4 0 0 0 .000 A.Seminick C 5 0 2 0 .250 B.Voiselle P 4 0 2 0 .500 S.Rowe P 3 0 1 0 .333 B-D.Litwhiler PH 1 1 1 11.000 A-B.Rowell PH 1 0 0 0 .000 E.White P 0 0 0 0 ---- E.Heusser P 0 0 0 0 ---- J.Prendergast P 0 0 0 0 ---- C-J.Blatnik PH 1 0 1 1 .500 -- -- -- --- -- -- -- --- Totals 44 5 10 4 Totals 43 4 13 4 A-Pinch Hit For Rowe In 9th Inning B-Pinch Hit For Voiselle In 11th Inning C-Pinch Hit For Heusser In 11th Inning Braves.......... 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 - 5 10 0 Phillies........ 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 - 4 13 3 Braves (2-0) IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA SCORESHEET B.Voiselle WIN(1-0) 10 10 3 3 2 4 0 2.70 A1 E4 E.White HOLD(1st) 0 2/3 3 1 1 0 1 0 13.50 E5 E9 J.Prendergas SAVE(1st) 0 1/3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 F1 Totals 11 13 4 4 2 5 0 Phillies (0-2) IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA SCORESHEET S.Rowe 9 7 3 2 2 2 0 2.00 A1 E1 E.Heusser LOSS(0-1) 2 3 2 1 1 0 0 4.50 E2 Totals 11 10 5 3 3 2 0 ATTENDANCE- 10,760 DATE- Wednesday, April 21st 1948 TIME- Day WEATHER- Average T- 2:30 LEFT ON BASE- Braves:10 Phillies: 9 DOUBLE PLAYS- Braves: 2 Phillies: 1 ERRORS- B.Haas-2, E.Miller DOUBLES- E.Torgeson-2(3rd), D.Litwhiler(1st), E.Verban(3rd) TRIPLES- J.Heath(1st) RBIs- B.Elliott(3rd), T.Holmes-2(2nd), D.Litwhiler(1st), E.Verban-2(2nd), D.Sisler(1st), J.Blatnik(1st) STOLEN BASES- R.Ashburn(1st) SACRIFICE HITS- S.Sisti SACRIFICE FLIES- D.Sisler WALKS- E.Torgeson, J.Heath, P.Masi, R.Ashburn, D.Sisler STRIKE OUTS- E.Stanky, B.Elliott, R.Ashburn, B.Haas, D.Ennis, E.Miller, A.Seminick GIDP- P.Masi, D.Ennis, A.Seminick 2-out RBI- B.Elliott, E.Verban, J.Blatnik RLISP 2-out- T.Holmes-2, E.Verban, B.Elliott, B.Haas, R.Ashburn TEAM RISP- Braves: 4 for 13 Phillies: 2 for 5Thursday, April 22Boston 9, Philadelphia 2It was an all-around effort by the Boston lineup as every starter scored except for Jim Russell, who instead drove in a team-high three of those runs.

The Phillies committed three errors once again, though only one unearned run would score from them.BOXSCORE: 1948 Boston Braves At 1948 Philadelphia Phillies 4/22/1948 Braves AB R H RBI AVG Phillies AB R H RBI AVG E.Stanky 2B 2 2 1 2 .200 R.Ashburn LF 4 1 1 0 .308 J.Russell CF 5 0 2 3 .250 E.Verban 2B 4 0 2 0 .462 E.Torgeson 1B 5 1 1 1 .357 B.Haas 3B 4 0 1 1 .308 B.Elliott 3B 4 1 2 0 .333 D.Sisler 1B 4 0 1 0 .182 D.Litwhiler LF 4 1 1 2 .400 D.Ennis RF 4 1 1 1 .231 M.McCormick RF 5 1 1 0 .200 H.Walker CF 3 0 1 0 .083 P.Masi C 5 1 2 0 .286 E.Miller SS 4 0 0 0 .154 S.Sisti SS 4 1 1 1 .083 A.Seminick C 4 0 0 0 .167 R.Barrett P 3 1 0 0 .000 C.Simmons P 2 0 0 0 .000 B-T.Holmes PH 1 0 0 0 .273 O.Judd P 0 0 0 0 ---- A.Lyons P 0 0 0 0 ---- A-G.Hamner PH 1 0 0 0 .000 L.Grasmick P 0 0 0 0 ---- -- -- -- --- -- -- -- --- Totals 38 9 11 9 Totals 34 2 7 2 A-Pinch Hit For Judd In 8th Inning B-Pinch Hit For Barrett In 9th Inning Braves.......... 1 0 0 2 0 0 4 1 1 - 9 11 2 Phillies........ 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 - 2 7 3 Braves (3-0) IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA SCORESHEET R.Barrett WIN(1-0) 8 7 2 2 0 1 1 2.25 A1 D4 A.Lyons 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0.00 D5 Totals 9 7 2 2 1 1 1 Phillies (0-3) IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA SCORESHEET C.Simmons LOSS(0-1) 6 1/3 6 6 6 4 3 1 8.53 A1 C9 O.Judd 1 2/3 3 2 1 1 2 0 5.40 D1 E2 L.Grasmick 1 2 1 1 1 0 1 9.00 E3 Totals 9 11 9 8 6 5 2 ATTENDANCE- 10,577 DATE- Thursday, April 22nd 1948 TIME- Day WEATHER- Average T- 2:24 LEFT ON BASE- Braves: 9 Phillies: 6 DOUBLE PLAYS- Braves: 1 Phillies: 2 ERRORS- B.Elliott, S.Sisti, D.Sisler, D.Ennis, A.Seminick DOUBLES- E.Stanky(1st), J.Russell(1st), B.Elliott(1st), D.Sisler(1st) HOME RUNS- E.Torgeson(1st), D.Litwhiler(1st), D.Ennis(1st) RBIs- E.Stanky-2(3rd), J.Russell-3(3rd), E.Torgeson(1st), D.Litwhiler-2(3rd), S.Sisti(2nd), B.Haas(1st), D.Ennis(1st) SACRIFICE FLIES- S.Sisti WALKS- E.Stanky-3, B.Elliott, D.Litwhiler, R.Barrett, H.Walker STRIKE OUTS- E.Torgeson-3, B.Elliott, R.Barrett, B.Haas GIDP- D.Litwhiler, P.Masi, B.Haas WILD PITCHES- C.Simmons 2-out RBI- B.Haas RLISP 2-out- B.Haas, E.Miller, B.Elliott, J.Russell-2, T.Holmes-2 TEAM RISP- Braves: 3 for 11 Phillies: 1 for 6
