Through research and process of elimination, there are only 3 games at Fenway that produced a Red Sox winning score of 5-4 vs. the Detroit Tigers.
These games are:
5/16/28 (11 innings)- Pitchers were Harriss vs. Sorrell 5-4 Boston win
6/24/30 (Game 1 of a D/H)- Pitchers Lisenbee vs. Uhle 5-4 Boston win
7/29/31 (10 innings)- Pitchers Moore vs. Uhle 5-4 Boston win
None of these games had anything particularly outstanding offensively happen.
It's hard to nail the specific game down further, but I am guessing that judging by the font and ticket price that the ticket was to the 6/24/30 game or the 7/29/31 game.
I hope this helps

based on Scott's research of the ticket that has a score 5-4
the 1928 Tax revenue went into affect June 21st 1928 the game was played prior to that date so tax was allowed
in 1929-1930 1931 1932 that law prevented tickets under $1.00 being charged, therefore as this ticket has tax added and date earlier than June 21
I think 1928 would be most likley for that ticket
the others will need more research
