TEAM RISP- Yankees: 8 for 15  Cubs: 8 for 15

The Chicago-NL Cubs cruised to a 15 to 9 victory over the New York-AL Yankees
at Wrigely Field.

The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Don Lenhardt.  He slapped a base-hit resulting in a run in the
1st inning, belted a three-run homer in the 6th inning and doubled in the 8th
inning.  Chicago-NL bats were very productive in the 1st inning which saw
them plate 4 runs on 5 hits and the 8th inning when they had 5 runs on 5
hits.  Despite scoring in 5 separate innings, New York-AL could not get the
win.  

Whitey Ford(3-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 5 and 2/3 innings and
allowing 5 runs. Al Sima gained credit for his 2nd save.  Fred Baczewski(0-1)
was the loser.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 8 hits and 2 walks in 2 and
2/3 innings.
