Steve Gromek had an impressive outing at Municipal Stadium where the Cleveland
Indians beat the dreadful Washington Nationals in 10 innings 2 to 1.
The score was knotted at 1 after nine innings. Cleveland won it in the 10th
inning. Cass Michaels drew a walk. Earl Torgeson stepped into the batter's
box and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. One out later, Jim Busby then laced a
single giving Cleveland the win and sending the home town fans into a frenzy.
Cleveland had only 5 hits for the night.
Gromek(7-12) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Johnny
Podres(5-9) was the loser. He pitched 9 and 1/3 innings giving up only 4
hits and 3 walks.
Wth the win Cleveland now has a record of 57-73. Washington can't seem to snap
out of their recent 'funk'. Now they have a miserable 1-9 record over the
last couple weeks.
