First baseman Gil Hodges slammed 3 homeruns as the Philadelphia-AL Athletics
defeated the Cleveland Indians in 13 innings by a score of 5 to 2 at
Municipal Stadium.

The score was knotted at 2 after nine innings. Philadelphia-AL ended up
winning it in the 13th inning.  After an out was recorded, Hodges
jump-started the scoring when he cracked a solo homerun.  Al Rosen stepped
into the batter's box and he laced a one-base hit.  Wally Moon then banged
out a single.  Frank Bolling followed next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt.
Don Johnson then let one get away for a wild pitch scoring another run.  Jim
Piersall added his contribution to the rally and lined a single scoring the
final run of the inning.  Philadelphia-AL had a total of 11 hits for the
game.  

Lew Burdette(10-8) got the win allowing no runs in 3 innings. The losing
pitcher was Johnson(2-3) in relief.  Philadelphia-AL knocked him around a
bit, as he gave up 3 runs in 2 innings.  

Philadelphia-AL now has a record of 69-45.  With the loss, Cleveland has a
record of 3-7 lately, 47-63 overall.
