TEAM RISP- Reds: 4 for 13 Indians: 4 for 15
One run was the difference at Municipal Stadium as the Cleveland Indians
defeated the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings 10 to 9.
The score was knotted at 8 after nine innings. Cleveland came out the victor
in the 10th inning. Ted Williams opened up the inning nicely when he
doubled. Al Kaline came to the plate and was walked intentionally. Randy
Jackson then laid down a sacrifice bunt. Willie Jones followed and he
stroked a single which scored a run. Dick Groat came up to bat and worked
the squeeze play to perfection giving Cleveland the win and sending the home
town fans into a frenzy. Cleveland had 17 hits for the afternoon.
Bob Feller(2-3) went 2/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory.
Willard Schmidt(1-1) absorbed the loss in relief. He surrendered 3 runs and
3 hits in 1 and 1/3 innings.
