Robin Roberts went the distance and Gene Woodling hit 2 doubles as the
Chicago-NL Cubs bested the Philadelphia-AL Athletics 3 to 2 at Connie Mack
Stadium.
Chicago-NL scored 2 runs in the decisive 2nd inning when they came up with 3
base hits. Woodling kicked off the action when he stroked a base-hit.
Ferris Fain stepped up next and he drew a walk. Carl Furillo then banged out
a single driving in a run. Matt Batts stepped in and he grounded into a
double play scoring the final run of the inning. Philadelphia-AL made it
exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
Roberts(12-7) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 2 runs. Bob
Lemon(14-11) was the loser. He allowed 3 runs and 9 hits in 9 innings.
'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Jim Murphy
said after the game. 'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have
to concentrate on EVERY pitch.'
