TEAM RISP- Athletics: 12 for 21 Dodgers: 3 for 10
It was a real slugfest in Ebbets Field where the Kansas City Athletics finally
out-scored the Brooklyn Dodgers by a score of 13 to 11 in.
Kansas City jumped on top of Brooklyn in the 5th inning scoring 2 runners on 3
hits. Even though they scored in 5 different innings, Brooklyn was not able
to pull off the win.
The victory was credited to Bob Lemon(6-1) who went 5 innings, allowing 9
runs. Marv Grissom got the save, his 10th. The loss was charged to Don
Drysdale(2-3). He was hit hard and gave up 10 hits and 4 walks in 4 and 2/3
innings.
'He gutted it out' Jim Murphy said of Lemon. 'I was very impressed by his
tenacity.'
