TEAM RISP- Reds: 2 for 12  Indians: 0 for 6
WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Gene Baker robbed Larry Doby of a base hit.

Catcher Wes Westrum touched them all and had 2 RBI at Municipal Stadium as the
Cincinnati Reds beat the Cleveland Indians in 11 innings by the count of 6 to
4.

Both teams were tied at 4 runs apiece after nine innings.  Cincinnati won the
hard fought contest in the 11th inning.  Tom Alston led off and got things
going when he doubled.  Larry Doby came next and he was walked intentionally.
Pee Wee Reese then drew a walk to load the bases.  Grady Hatton followed and
he drew a walk which scored a run.  One out later, Westrum stepped in and he
hit a deep fly scoring the final run of the inning.  Cincinnati had a total
of 9 hits for the game.  

Ernie Johnson(2-1) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 innings and allowing
no runs. Marv Grissom(2-1) absorbed the loss in relief.  He had trouble
throwing strikes and issued 5 walks in 2 innings.  

The Cincinnati ballclub's record now stands at 17-12.  With the loss, the
Cleveland ballclub's record is 9-16, worst in the league.
