WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Vic Power robbed Roberto Clemente of a base hit.
Johnny Klippstein went 5 strong innings as the Cleveland Indians topped the
floundering New York-AL Yankees by a score of 3 to 2 at Yankee Stadium.
In the top of the 7th inning Cleveland went on top for good scoring a single
run using 2 hits. Cleveland had 8 hits for the afternoon while New York-AL
had 4.
Paul Lapalme(6-2) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Sandy Consuegra
earned his 6th save. Virgil Trucks(0-3) absorbed the loss. With the win,
Cleveland continued their winning ways; their streak now stands at 6 games
and counting. Mel Gross held court after the contest, 'Everything is coming
up aces right now. It is important for our team to ride this wave as long as
we can. Every win is important.'
