SUMMARY: '48 Cleveland continues to roll as they sweep '67 Bosox four games to none. Cleveland's potent, powerful, and often timely offense outscores BOS 37-16 for the series. The trio of Keltner, Boudreau and Gordon provided the punch to Cleveland's attack. List the turning point. Game winning bottom of the ninth HR in game two by Ken Keltner who drove in 7 for the game. Boston had fought back to take the lead and looked ready to tie the series up at a game apiece. However, Cleveland tied it up heading into the ninth and Keltner provided the drama.Who would you consider the MVP and why ? Ken Keltner was 7 for 18 with 6 runs scored, 9 RBI's, and 3 HR's for the series.

NOTES: Boston's Dave Morehead had a no hitter going until the 6th when none other than "the" Kenny Keltner led off with a clean single to left. Morehead didn't survive the inning as he gave up 3 runs in 5 2/3 innings worth of work. The boys from Beantown made 12 errors in this 4 game set, which led to 13 unearned runs crossing the plate.
