History was made Thursday night, as the Red Sox were losing 14-5 to the Yankees. The Sox finished with five runs on four hits, and committed five errors. The resulting 5-4-5 linescore is the FIRST such tally in baseball history (nearly 200,000 games worth). We’ve had 5-4-4s, 5-5-5s, 4-5-5s, but never before had a team ended up with 5-4-5.
Congrats to the BoSox!
Diane, I love baseball minutia! Did you realize the unusual line score of the Bosox yourself? You put out better stats than The Elias Sports Bureau or Stats Inc. Outstanding Diane!
Hi James …. unique/unusual linescores is another one of my interests, and I’ve created a spreadsheet with a frequency table of all the R-H-E linescores in history. I DID now that the Sox scored 5, but someone on twitter mentioned they made 5 errors, and I figured that combo was kind of error. Indeed it turned out to be, when mixed in with only 4 hits, unique. Thanks for your continued support!
