At Yankee Stadium the New York Yankees easily handled the floundering Kansas
City Athletics in 13 innings by the score of 5 to 1.
The score was knotted at 1 after nine innings. Finally, New York pulled the
game out in the 13th inning. The key at-bat was by Elston Howard who
thrilled the crowd when he hit a 'grand salami' to the delight of his
teammates (his 6th of the season). New York had 10 hits for the afternoon
while Kansas City had 7.
Tom Morgan(4-1) went 4 innings allowing no runs for the victory. Lou
Sleater(0-2) suffered the loss in relief. He pitched 1 inning allowing 2
hits and 1 walk.
Ted Williams hit a walk off Grand Slam as the Red Sox rallied past the Tigers 5-4.

In a thriller the Boston Red Sox staged a dramatic comeback over the Detroit
Tigers winning by a score of 5 to 4 at Fenway Park.
Boston had the winning rally in the bottom of the 9th inning as they scored 5
runs on 3 base hits. The big moment was provided by Ted Williams who made
the crowd happy when he launched a Grand Slam homerun (his 9th of the
season). Boston had a total of 9 hits for the game.
Leo Kiely(2-3) allowed no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Al Aber(3-4) was the losing pitcher in relief. 'Now that is what I
call fun! I just love baseball, especially games like this, of course,' Pinky
Higgins offered. 'Everyone at the stadium had a great time - did you see the
fans go wild there at the end?!'
Gene Woodling, recently aquired from the Orioles, had 4 hits and 4 RBI leading Cleveland to an 8-5 win against his ex mates.

22,647 fans watched an exciting game at Yankee Stadium. The New York Yankees
topped the slumping Kansas City Athletics by the slimmest of margins, 3 to
2.
Whitey Ford(8-4) pitched a fine game. He was reached for 5 hits and 1 walk in
8 innings. Kansas City made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to
push the needed runs across.
Jim Konstanty earned the save, his 7th. Art Ditmar(2-4) was the loser. He
surrendered 3 runs and 6 hits in 7 innings. Lou Boudreau was reflective
after the loss, 'We should have won this one, we just made one too many
mistakes. Son-of-a-gun, that added a couple more white hairs on this noggin
of mine.'
