WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Hank Thompson robbed Pete Runnels of a base hit.

Gene Woodling had 2 base hits and scored 3 times as the Philadelphia-AL
Athletics beat the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 7 to 5.

Cincinnati was unable to claim the lead after Philadelphia-AL went ahead in
the bottom of the 2nd inning when they came up with 2 runs on 2 hits.
Cincinnati made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across.  

Mike Garcia(6-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 8 innings and allowing 4
runs. Fritz Dorish recorded his 3rd save.  Jim Hearn(5-5) took the loss.  He
pitched 6 innings giving up 6 hits and 4 walks.

Despite losing Rob Hickok was optimistic after the game.  'We'll get over this
one.  Sometimes the breaks fall your way, sometimes they don't.  Any one of a
dozen little things go different, and we come out on top.'
