Forty-seven years ago, the Red Sox won the first of three consecutive games via a walkoff hit.
The 1975 Red Sox began a 10-game winning streak (which increased its AL East lead from 1 GA to 6.5 GA) on July 7, with a 6-3 win over the Twins. Then . . .
July 8: Boston led 5-1, but the Twins scored twice in the seventh and twice in the eighth. In the bottom of the ninth, Jim Rice singled and was bunted to second by Cecil Cooper. Carlton Fisk was intentionally walked and Rick Burleson was unintentionally walked, loading the bases.
