After the ball hit Tony Kubek in the throat Hal Smith hit a three run homer to I believe tie the score late in the game and setting up Maz. Bob Prince was the longtime Pirate announcer and he went crazy over the bad hop and the rest of the game. A homer if there ever was one. Kinda of like Bob Murphy.
Bevens was one out away from the first Series no hitter but had walked eleven. Eddie Miksis and Al Gianfriddo were pinch runners subbing for two of the walked hitters. Cookie Lavagetto lined over Henrich's head for the win. Two days later Gianfriddo made the famous catch to rob Joe D at the Stadium. Who pitched the ball? Bobbbbbb, we saw him pitch for the Angels in Seals Stadium when we were kids.
By process of elimination Henrich got the walk off in the 40's. I think he retired before 1950. Rhodes hit his in 1954.
