TEAM RISP- Phillies: 5 for 13 Athletics: 6 for 11
Stan Lopata rocketed 2 homeruns as the Philadelphia-NL Phillies defeated the
Philadelphia-AL Athletics by the score of 15 to 12 at Shibe Park.
Lopata really lit it up for Philadelphia-NL. The Philadelphia-AL fans let him
have it for what he did to their boys. He emptied the bases with a Grand
Slam homerun in the 1st inning and lifted one out of the park for a two run
home run in the 2nd inning. Philadelphia-NL bats were hot in the 1st inning
which saw them plate 6 runs on 5 hits and the 4th inning with 4 runs.
Philadelphia-AL had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
The victory went to Steve Ridzik(2-1) who went 1/3 of an inning, allowing no
runs. Bob Kuzava(1-2) was given the loss in relief. He got hit pretty hard,
allowing 5 hits and 2 walks in 2 innings.
Roy Purchell was in a talkative mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we
could win all of the close ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not
going to happen, I think I'll savor this one for a little while.'
