Sox plate 2 in 9th, edge Phils 6-5

Given a 5-4 lead, Mitch Williams & Tug McGraw could not hold down the Boston Red Sox in the bottom of the 9th. Starters Steve Carlton & Cy Young were decent, each getting touched up for 4 runs in 6+ IP. Mel Parnell grabbed the cheap W out of Boston's pen, getting the last out in Philadelphia's 9th. Boston leads the series 1-0. Random game stat - Ted Williams struck out all three times he faced Carlton.
