WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Frank Robinson robbed Billy Goodman of an extra base hit.
Baseballs were flying all over the ballpark as the Kansas City Athletics ran
roughshod over the seemingly hapless New York-AL Yankees. The Kansas City
offense rolled up a total of 16 runs!.
New York-AL never recovered after Kansas City took the lead in the bottom of
the 2nd inning with 2 runs using 3 hits. After an out was recorded, Jim
Piersall got things rolling when he smacked a single. Gus Triandos came next
and he doubled scoring a run. One out later, Lew Burdette then ripped a
base-knock scoring the final run of the inning. That scoring would be all
that was needed. Kansas City bats were very productive in the 4th inning
with 6 runs on 5 hits and the 7th inning plating 4 runs. Offensively, Kansas
City was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings.
Burdette(1-0) allowed 1 run in 7 innings, and picked up the victory. Chuck
Stobbs(0-2) ended up with the loss. He allowed 9 hits and 2 walks in 3 and
2/3 innings.
