Gil McDougald had 2 base hits as the New York Yankees won in dramatic fashion
over the Detroit Tigers by a score of 4 to 3 at Yankee Stadium.
New York scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning with 3
runs using 3 hits. Bobby Richardson started the inning off right when he hit
a single. Casey Stengel then called for a steal which was successful. Joe
Collins then would ground out scoring a run. Mickey Mantle came up and he
lashed a single. Yogi Berra stepped into the box and drew a walk. Joe
Coleman then unleashed a wild pitch. Eddie Robinson stepped up next and he
drew a walk to load the bases. McDougald then laced a single plating another
run. After an out was recorded, Bob Cerv came up and he drew a walk making
New York the winners and sending the 32,427 fans home happy. New York
finished with just 5 hits in the victory.
The victory was credited to Tom Sturdivant(4-2) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. The losing pitcher was Steve Gromek(6-9). He allowed just 4 runs and 4
hits in 8 and 1/3 innings.
'That was exciting!,' McDougald said. 'I would have paid money to watch this
one.'

Al Smith hit 2 doubles as the Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Nationals
by a score of 5 to 4.
Art Houtteman(3-8) got the win but did not look spectacular. He gave up 4
runs, 10 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings. Washington had a chance to come back
in the 9th but they came up short.
Ray Narleski was credited with his 12th save. Camilo Pascual(1-9) took the
loss. He got hit hard, allowing 10 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
Chuck Dressen was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our
guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one.
That is what really ticks me off!'
Walt Dropo had 3 hits and 2 RBI as the White Sox edge the Orioles 4-3.
