Catcher Yogi Berra launched 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Don Larsen blanked

Baltimore allowing just 3 hits at Yankee Stadium as the mighty New York

Yankees embarrassed the pathetic Baltimore Orioles by the lopsided score of

14 to 0.



It was a good day for New York thanks to Berra. He cracked a two-run shot in

the 4th inning, laced a one-base hit bringing in a run in the 4th inning and

smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 25th of the season) in the 7th

inning. New York finished with 15 hits in the victory.



It was the 2nd shutout of the year for Larsen(6-1). Ed Lopat(5-8) was the

loser. He gave up 5 runs in 3 innings of work.



'I've been working on a few things in my delivery, and I think I'm hitting a

good groove.' Larsen said after the game. 'I'm ready to start another game

tomorrow!'
