TEAM RISP- Dodgers: 7 for 15 Athletics: 3 for 11
Bill Sarni had 5 hits and 4 RBI as the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Kansas City
Athletics by a score of 11 to 9.
Sarni was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors. He smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in
the 2nd inning, stroked a base-hit plating a run in the 3rd inning, delivered
a single in the 5th inning, doubled scoring a run in the 7th inning and
lashed a one-base hit knocking in a run in the 9th inning. Kansas City
scored in 5 different innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from
victory.
Curt Simmons(15-6) allowed 4 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. The
losing pitcher was Johnny Antonelli(12-9). He surrended 3 homeruns in his 7
innings.
When questioned, Jeff Pasley remarked, 'It's been a while since a win felt
this good - heck, it's been a while since we had a win period!'
