TEAM RISP- Athletics: 6 for 17  Dodgers: 7 for 12

Mickey Mantle touched them all and scored 3 times at Ebbets Field where the
Philadelphia-AL Athletics beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in 10 innings 10 to
9.

Both teams had scored 9 runs after nine full innings.  Finally,
Philadelphia-AL pulled the game out in the 10th inning.  Wally Moon delivered
a one-base hit.  Bobby Avila was next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt.
Clem Labine then uncorked a wild pitch.  Mantle was next to the plate, but
was promptly struck out.  Hank Sauer came to the plate and singled scoring
the run.  Philadelphia-AL managed 18 hits in their victory.  

Tom Poholsky(9-5) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the win. Bob G Miller got
the save, his 9th.  Ray Narleski(4-7) took the loss in relief.  He got hit
pretty hard, allowing 5 hits and 2 walks in 2 innings.  

Philadelphia-AL now has a record of 64-44.  With this loss, Brooklyn has a 4-6
record of late, 43-69 overall.
