WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Jim Rivera robbed Pete Runnels of a Homerun!

 

One run was the difference at Comiskey Park as the indomitable Chicago White

Sox defeated the Washington Nationals 3 to 2.

 

The game was won by Chicago with a run in the 8th inning.  After an out was

recorded, Nellie Fox stroked a base-hit.  Minnie Minoso followed and he

singled.  Jim Rivera then would hit into a force play scoring the run.

Washington made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the

needed runs across.  

 

Harry Byrd(14-8) went 3 innings allowing no runs for the win. Spec Shea(1-7)

was tagged with the loss in relief.  He gave up 2 hits and 1 walk in 1 and

1/3 innings.  

 

Chuck Dressen was in a sour mood after the game.  'Even you guys up in the

press box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'
