TEAM RISP- Indians: 3 for 10 Nationals: 0 for 4
Ted Williams had 4 hits and 2 RBI as the Cleveland Indians defeated the
Washington Nationals by the score of 5 to 2 at Griffith Stadium.
Washington fell behind quickly as the Cleveland offense came through in the
first inning with 3 runs using 4 hits. After an out was recorded, Jim Busby
kicked off the action when he doubled. After another out, Williams came up
and he ripped a base-knock plating a run. Joe Collins then doubled, and an
error was also committed, which accounted for two additional runs. That
early run support was all that Steve Gromek(6-8) required. Cleveland had 13
hits for the afternoon while Washington had 7.
Hoyt Wilhelm preserved the game for Gromek, recording his his 26th save. Don
Liddle(1-2) took the loss. He allowed 13 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings.
Cleveland now has a record of 63-73. With the loss, Washington has a record
of 3-7 lately, 64-72 overall.
