WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Alex Grammas robbed Johnny Podres of a base hit.

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.'
