New York-AL took the lead for good in the top of the 3rd inning scoring 2 runners on 3 hits. The big moment was provided by Smoky Burgess who silenced Griffith Stadium as he doubled bringing in two baserunners. Washington had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Karl Drews(4-1) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. Bob Porterfield(2-5) suffered the loss. He surrendered 5 runs and 10 hits in 9 innings. Robert Baker was beaming after the game, 'Not only were we making good contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'! I just love winning these tight ones! It was just our evening - no doubt about it!'
