The Cleveland fans were, for one at-bat, DiMaggio fans. But there stood Keltner, backhanding the smash, straightening up and throwing out DiMaggio by a stride. The Yankees rallied in the eighth. With one out and three runs already in, Henrich walked to load the bases.
DiMaggio saw what he wanted. Time to hit. On a pitch, DiMaggio swung and bounced a sharp ground ball at shortstop Lou Boudreau. The year-old infielder was celebrating his birthday, but the last hop of this grounder was anything but a gift. As the ball took an unexpected detour up and to his right, Boudreau stayed with the bad bounce and shoveled to second for a force out. When Ray Mack threw on to first, DiMaggio was the victim of a double play.

He did a nice job of using his 6-foot, pound frame to carve out space in the paint, scoring on an alley-oop and then a pair of thunderous dunks to provide at least a little excitement for the post-Thanksgiving crowd.
A Donovan Newby layup to start the second half gave the Panthers their biggest lead of the game at But the Braves scored 10 of the next 11 — including eight straight from diminutive guard Paul King — to jump back in front by a point. The lead exchanged hands six more times until a jumper with 7 minutes 12 seconds remaining put the Braves ahead to stay.
The Panthers' frustrations were summed up perfectly with just about a minute remaining, when Jordan Lathon stole the ball, missed a layup and grabbed the rebound only to have the ball slapped off his knee for the turnover. UWM got to within four points with Then, to cap the day, the Panthers couldn't catch any Braves players to foul and stop the clock in the final DeAndre Gholston scored a team-high 17 points, and St.
Pierre finished with 13 points and nine rebounds. I think if it's one game, two games, five games, they don't like to lose. Now, we've just got to make it happen when the lights turn on.

An uneventful Yankee ninth inning meant that Cleveland needed to tie in the bottom of the frame for DiMaggio to have any chance to continue his historic run.
Joe Dimaggio, although a great player just ran into a wall of a pitcher in Al Smith that day. This was at a time when the pitcher Smith was just getting into his stride as a major league pitcher and if the two ever met on the field on their best day.
