Right fielder Hank Bauer had 3 base hits and Whitey Ford tossed a complete
game as the New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7 to 1 at
Memorial Stadium.
New York jumped on top to stay in the 2nd inning when they scored 2 runs on 3
hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Ford(15-5) and New York.
That was all the run support Ford required. New York had a total of 13 hits
for the game.
The losing pitcher was Ed Lopat(5-7). He gave up 4 runs and 7 hits in 4 and
1/3 innings.
