He had three homers and drove in ten runs against Washington that May 27. Failing to hit after 1955, he was traded to the Senators in 1958. (PB)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » May 27, 1955: In just the first five innings, Norm Zauchin hits three home runs and a double and drives in 10 runs as the Red Sox slaughter the Senators 16–0. Pitcher Tom Brewer coasts for the win. » January 23, 1958: In a good trade for both teams, the Washington Senators trade SS Pete Runnels to the Red Sox for 1B Norm Zauchin and OF Albie Pearson.
