Right fielder Hank Thompson slammed 3 homeruns and Bob Lemon allowed Jim
Murphy to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the Philadelphia-AL
Athletics defeated the ice-cold Washington Nationals by a score of 10 to 3 at
Shibe Park.
Thompson was spectacular at the plate. The hometown fans showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation his last time at bat. He cleared the
bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 3rd inning, lofted a solo-blast
'downtown' in the 5th inning and smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 7th
inning. Philadelphia-AL had a total of 12 hits for the game.
Lemon(17-8) was the winner allowing 3 runs for the game. Murry Dickson(11-12)
was hit with the loss. He was touched for 4 homeruns in his 3 and 1/3
innings of work.
'Thompson led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,' Lemon
said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my team.'
