Third baseman Don Hoak launched 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Brooklyn Dodgers clobbered the outmatched Washington Nationals, 15 to 2. Hoak punished Washington with his bat. He rifled a three-run blast in the 1st inning, stroked a base-hit in the 2nd inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 7th inning. Brooklyn bats were hot in the 1st inning with 6 runs on 5 hits. Offensively, Brooklyn was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings. The win was credited to Sam Jones(2-3) who went 6 innings allowing 1 run. Ray Moore was credited with his 2nd save. Warren Spahn(1-3) was hit with the loss. He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks in 1 and 2/3 innings. 'Hoak led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,' Jones said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my team.'
