TEAM RISP- Cubs: 2 for 12  Indians: 0 for 5

The Chicago-NL Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in 11 innings by a score of
7 to 3 at Cleveland Stadium.

Both teams had scored 3 runs after nine full innings.  Finally, Chicago-NL
pulled the game out in the 11th inning.  The biggest moment was provided by
Eddie Mathews who quieted the crowd when he launched a rocket-shot out of the
park for a Grand Slam homerun.  Chicago-NL had 8 hits for the afternoon.

The win went to Sid Hudson(9-5) who allowed no runs in 3 innings. Hoyt
Wilhelm(10-12) absorbed the loss in relief.  He was knocked around pretty
good, giving up 4 runs in 3 innings.
