WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Mickey Mantle robbed Al Smith of a Homerun!
Dave Pope cleared three ducks from a very crowded pond with a grand slam as
the Cleveland Indians won a dandy at Municipal Stadium over the New York
Yankees, 10 to 6.
Cleveland scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning as they scored 4 runs
on 3 base hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Pope who thrilled
the crowd when he cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun (his 4th of the
season). Cleveland ended up with 10 hits for the game while New York had 6.
Ray Narleski(3-0) allowed 3 runs in 1 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Tom Morgan(3-1) was the loser in relief. With this win, Cleveland
has a 33-21 record. They have been 6-4 lately. With the loss, the New York
ballclub's record is 39-18.
Art Ceccarelli tossed a 6 hitter striking out 10 as Kansas City sweeps the doubleheader from Baltimore 3-2.

Art Ceccarelli mowed down 10 Baltimore batters as the Kansas City Athletics
defeated the Baltimore Orioles 3 to 2 at Municipal Stadium.
Ceccarelli(4-4) had a strong outing. He was stingy on the mound, allowing
just 6 hits and 5 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 3.74 to 3.48.
Both teams ended up with 6 on the afternoon.
Erv Palica(1-8) suffered the loss. Lou Boudreau was asked about the
performance of Ceccarelli, 'He had his good stuff out there this afternoon.
The fans really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that
seems to give him even more adrenalin.'

WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Hank Thompson robbed Bill Virdon of a base hit.
Hank Thompson blasted 3 homeruns and Sal Maglie blanked St. Louis in a very
well-pitched complete game as the New York Giants crushed the St. Louis
Cardinals 10 to 0.
Thompson had a great day at the plate. He had the crowd cheering his every
move. He bombed a two-run dinger in the 1st inning, emptied the bases with a
Grand Slam homerun in the 4th inning and belted a three-run homer (his 13th
of the season) in the 6th inning. New York totaled 9 on the afternoon.
Maglie(4-2) was credited with the shutout. Harvey Haddix(5-6) suffered the
loss. He was touched for 6 hits and 4 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings.
'Thompson led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,'
Maglie said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my team.'
Al Dark had 3 hits and 3 RBI as the Giants hold off the Cardinals 10-6.

Al Dark collected 2 extra-base hits and had 3 RBI at Polo Grounds where the
New York Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 10 to 6.
New York brought 7 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 2nd inning when
they had 8 base hits. That early run support was enough for Johnny
Antonelli(4-5) and New York. St. Louis had a chance in the 9th but they came
up short.
Herb Moford(0-2) was the losing pitcher. 'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said
Harry Walker 'but it's losing the close ones that really hurt.'

Bob Buhl blanked Pittsburgh in a very well-pitched complete game and Eddie
Mathews ripped 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Milwaukee Braves smashed the
overmatched Pittsburgh Pirates, 11 to 0.
Mathews was unconscious all day. The Pittsburgh fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He cleared
the fences for a two-run home run in the 2nd inning and lost the ball over
the fence for three runs (his 16th of the season) in the 3rd inning.
Milwaukee managed 14 in their victory.
Buhl(6-2) was credited with the shutout. The losing pitcher was Max
Surkont(4-6). He pitched 2/3 of an inning allowing 3 hits and 2 walks.
Eddie Matthews has 3 hits, including a home run, and 2 RBI as the Braves double up the Pirates 8-4.

Third baseman Eddie Mathews went yard and had 2 RBI as the Milwaukee Braves
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 8 to 4 at Forbes Field.
In the 5th inning Milwaukee scored 4 runs with the help of 5 hits. The
crucial at-bat was provided by Mathews who deflated the spirits of the home
town crowd when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his
14th of the season). Milwaukee ended up with 14 hits for the game while
Pittsburgh had 8.
Warren Spahn(6-5) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 6 innings. Vern
Law(5-3) was given the loss. He allowed 11 hits and 2 walks in 6 and 1/3
innings.
The Milwaukee ballclub's record now stands at 33-21. With the loss,
Pittsburgh has a record of 4-6 lately, 20-36, worst in the league overall.
