TEAM RISP- Cubs: 5 for 12 Athletics: 3 for 6
WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Matt Batts blocked the plate, saving a run!
Eddie Mathews launched 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at Connie Mack Stadium where
the Chicago-NL Cubs beat the Philadelphia-AL Athletics 10 to 6.
Mathews enjoyed a fine evening at the plate. He blasted a solo shot in the
1st inning, delivered a single in the 3rd inning, lifted one out of the park
for a two run home run in the 4th inning and lined a one-base hit in the 9th
inning. It was roller coaster of a game as the lead change hands 5 times.
The winning pitcher was Dave Hoskins(2-0) who allowed 6 runs in 6 and 2/3
innings. Johnny Antonelli(0-1) ended up with the loss. He allowed a few too
many baserunners giving up 13 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.
