WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Jim Piersall robbed Gene Baker of an extra base hit.

Bobby Avila had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the powerful Philadelphia-AL Athletics
destroyed the Cleveland Indians by a score of 13 to 0 at Connie Mack
Stadium.

Avila had a good day at the plate.  He stroked a one-base hit in the 3rd
inning, delivered a base-hit resulting in a run in the 4th inning, cleared
the fences for a two-run home run in the 5th inning and lined a single in the
7th inning.  Philadelphia-AL bats were very productive in the 3rd inning when
they had 7 runs on 7 hits.  Cleveland was out-hit by Philadelphia-AL, 20 hits
to 5.  

The win went to Lew Burdette(13-9) who allowed no runs in 6 innings. Billy
Hoeft(3-9) was the loser.  He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 8 innings of
work.
