First baseman Joe Cunningham had 2 base hits as the Cleveland Indians defeated
the Washington Nationals by a score of 3 to 1 at Municipal
Stadium.
Cleveland had 2 runs cross the plate in the 6th inning when they came up with
3 base hits. After an out was recorded, Cunningham was the sparkplug when he
drew a walk. Ted Williams stepped up next and he cleared the fences for a
two-run home run. Cleveland managed 7 hits in their victory.
The win was credited to George Zuverink(2-0) who went 7 and 2/3 innings
allowing 1 run. Hoyt Wilhelm got the save, his 1st. Corky Valentine(0-3) was
the losing pitcher. He pitched 8 innings and surrendered 7 hits and 2
walks.
'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Zuverink said,
'this was one of those times.'
