George Zuverink went 9 strong innings as the Baltimore Orioles won a dandy at

Memorial Stadium over the woeful Kansas City Athletics, 3 to 2.

 

The deciding run was scored by Baltimore in the bottom of the 9th.  Dave

Philley hit a single.  Hal Smith came to the plate and laced a base-knock,

and an error was also committed.  Chuck Diering then was walked intentionally

to load the bases.  Bob Hale stepped in and he grounded into a double play.

Dave Pope stepped into the box and was walked intentionally to load the

bases.  Fred Marsh joined his teammates in the uprising and drew a walk

giving Baltimore the victory as 8,301 happy fans celebrated wildly.

Baltimore had 7 hits for the afternoon.  

 

Zuverink(3-6) was the winner allowing 2 runs for the game. Art Ditmar(4-15)

was hit with the loss in relief.  'He had his 'A' game today,' Paul Richards

said of Zuverink.  'Very impressive performance.'
