          Bot 3rd: Jimmy Piersall robbed Gus Bell of a Homerun!

Johnny Logan had 3 base hits and 3 RBI at Griffith Stadium where the Kansas
City Athletics beat the Washington Nationals by the score of 9 to 6.

Lew Burdette(4-4) had a fairly solid outing.  He went 8 innings allowing 12
hits and 4 walks.  Due to a poorly pitched ballgame, scoring in 5 different
innings was still not enough for Washington to come away with the victory.

The losing pitcher was Bob Rush(4-10).  He got hit hard, allowing 16 hits and
3 walks in 9 innings.
