Solly Hemus had 2 base hits and 4 RBI as the mighty Kansas City Athletics
defeated the Cleveland Indians 9 to 8 at Municipal Stadium.

The game was decided in the top of the 9th inning.  Frank Bolling slapped a
base-hit.  After an out was recorded, Frank Robinson came to bat and drew a
walk.  Gil Hodges then stroked a single scoring the run.  The score went
back-and-forth with the lead changing 6 times.  

Lew Burdette(11-2) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1 inning. Marv
Grissom earned his 15th save.  Don Mossi(3-2) was the loser in relief.  He
surrendered 1 run and 3 hits in 1 inning.  

The winning ways continue for Kansas City.  They now have a record of 8-2 in
recent days.  With this loss, Cleveland has a 3-7 record of late, 28-40
overall.
