WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Jim Busby robbed Joe Adcock of a Homerun!
In a game at Cleveland Stadium the Washington Nationals got by the Cleveland
Indians by the score of 7 to 4.
Washington started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of
the first scoring 3 runs utilizing 3 base hits. After an out was recorded,
Andy Pafko keyed the rally when he tripled. Joe Adcock came to the plate and
stroked a one-base hit which scored a run. Roy Campanella followed, but he
was set down on strikes. Ray Boone stepped in and he bombed a two-run
dinger. Cleveland tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.
The win went to Murry Dickson(1-0) who allowed 3 runs in 8 innings. Walt
Masterson(0-1) was the loser. Washington knocked him around a bit, as he
gave up 7 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings.
'We won because we did the little things right.' Gordy Renaud said after the
game. 'This is why we practice things over and over and over, so when we get
in close games we don't make mistakes.'
