Whitey Ford tossed a complete game at Yankee Stadium as the New York Yankees

won a thriller over the Cleveland Indians in, 3 to 2.

 

The deciding run was scored by New York in the 9th.  Andy Carey reached on an

error.  Gil McDougald stepped into the batter's box and he laid down a

sacrifice bunt.  Ford then would hit into a fielders choice resulting in an

exciting win for New York and a raucous post-game celebration by the home

town fans.  New York and Cleveland each finished the afternoon with 4 hits.

 

Ford(13-5) was the winner allowing 2 runs for the game. The loss was charged

to Jose Santiago(0-1) in relief.  He was the victim of a defensive lapse and

did not allow an earned run in the game.  

 

'He had his 'A' game today,' Casey Stengel said of Ford.  'Very impressive

performance.'
