TEAM RISP- Nationals: 2 for 10  Athletics: 2 for 9

Hank Thompson had 2 base hits at Connie Mack Stadium as the Philadelphia-AL
Athletics beat the Washington Nationals by the count of 3 to
2.

Philadelphia-AL scored 2 runs in the decisive bottom of the 6th inning with
the help of 4 hits.  They would hold up as the winning runs.  Washington
tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.  

Lew Burdette(1-0) went 6 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Burdette was
helped out by Tom Poholsky who recorded his 3rd save.  Corky Valentine(0-4)
ended up with the loss.  

When questioned about the loss, Gordy Renaud said, 'The fans got to see an
exciting game out there this afternoon.  Unfortunately, we couldn't get it
done this time.  Next time, though, we'll be the clubhouse with all the
smiles.'
