Ken Boyer ripped 2 homeruns at Municipal Stadium as the Kansas City Athletics
embarrassed the Washington Nationals by the lopsided score of 16 to 5.
Boyer was spectacular at the plate. The hometown fans showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation his last time at bat. He lashed a
single in the 2nd inning, emptied the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the
3rd inning and smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 7th inning. Kansas
City lit up the scoreboard in the 3rd inning with 6 runs and the 7th inning
with 6 runs on 4 hits. Kansas City totaled 11 hits on the afternoon.
Bob Lemon(15-1) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Don Larsen(6-10)
absorbed the loss. He served up 3 gopher balls in 3 and 1/3 innings.
