WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Gil Hodges robbed Grady Hatton of a base hit.

Jim Piersall slammed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Bob Lemon had a strong
outing as the Philadelphia-AL Athletics crushed the Cincinnati Reds 22 to
5.

Piersall was a source of great heartache for the Cincinnati faithful all day.
He just kept pounding out hits! He clubbed a solo home run in the 5th inning,
doubled in the 7th inning, doubled bringing in a run in the 8th inning and
blasted a solo shot in the 9th inning.  Philadelphia-AL kept the scorekeepers
busy in the 5th inning when they had 7 runs on 8 hits and the 7th inning
which saw them plate 5 runs on 3 hits.  Philadelphia-AL dominated offensively
as they scored in 6 different innings.  

Lemon(12-7) allowed no runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. Lemon got
help from Camilo Pascual who was credited with his 4th save.  Bob
Keegan(6-11) was tagged with the loss.  He served up 3 gopher balls in 3
innings.  

'I didn't feel that good when I came to the park today,' Piersall said.  'I'm
glad I decided to play!'
