TEAM RISP- Athletics: 4 for 17 Cubs: 6 for 16
WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Jimmy Piersall robbed Eddie Mathews of an extra base hit.
Duke Snider slammed 3 homeruns at Wrigely Field as the Chicago-NL Cubs beat
the Kansas City Athletics by the count of 13 to 5.
Snider really 'lit it up' for Chicago-NL. He cleared the bases with a Grand
Slam homerun in the 3rd inning, blasted a solo shot in the 5th inning and
clubbed a two-run home run in the 7th inning. Chicago-NL banged out 15 hits
on the afternoon.
Whitey Ford(7-0) went 7 innings allowing 5 runs for the victory. Bob
Lemon(2-4) absorbed the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in his 6 innings.
'The ball was jumping off my bat' Snider said. 'I didn't do anything
differently, it's the same way I always approach the game.'
