WEB GEMS- Bot 7th: Lee Walls robbed Mickey Mantle of an extra base hit.
Mickey Mantle ripped 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the seemingly unstoppable
Kansas City Athletics man-handled the slumping New York-AL Yankees - the
final score was 13 to 2.
Mantle enjoyed a big day at the plate. He smashed a two-run homer in the 3rd
inning and launched a three-run homer in the 5th inning. Offensively, Kansas
City was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings.
Connie Johnson(11-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 8 innings and
allowing 1 run. Jim Wilson(1-5) was tagged with the loss. He served up 4
gopher balls in 8 innings.
