Warren Spahn went the distance as the Washington Nationals topped the pathetic
New York-AL Yankees in 10 innings by a score of 3 to 2 at Griffith
Stadium.
Both teams were tied at 1 runs apiece after nine innings. Washington came out
the victor in the 10th inning. Roy Campanella kicked off the action when he
delivered a one-base hit. Spahn was next to bat, but he was a strikeout
victim. Johnny Temple then tripled which scored a run. Harvey Kuenn came up
and he would hit into a fielders choice giving Washington the victory and
sending the 26,948 home-town fans home happy. Washington had 10 hits for the
night.
Spahn(11-7) was the winner allowing 2 runs for the game. Don Gross(3-4) was
the loser in relief. He allowed 2 hits and no walks in 1/3 of an inning.
