Athletics 10 to 5 at Griffith Stadium.
Boone helped send the fans home happy. He clubbed a solo home run in the 2nd
inning and hit a bases-empty home run in the 8th inning. Washington finished
with 10 hits in the victory.
Newcombe(7-6), allowing 5 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Frank
Lary(7-5) was given the loss. When questioned, Gordy Renaud remarked, 'It's
been a while since a win felt this good - heck, it's been a while since we
had a win period!'
