Steve Korcheck had 4 hits and 4 RBI as the Washington Nationals staged a
dramatic comeback over the league door-mat Baltimore Orioles by a score of 8
to 7 at Griffith Stadium.
Washington erupted with the game winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning
with 2 runs using 2 hits. After an out was recorded, Mickey Vernon started
the attack as he drew a walk. Roy Sievers stepped up next and he delivered a
single. After another out, Korcheck came to the plate and singled giving
Washington the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. For the game
Washington out-hit Baltimore 12 to 9.
Spec Shea(2-7) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. George
Zuverink(3-7) was hit with the loss in relief. 'We just wouldn't give up,'
Korcheck said. 'Much of the credit goes to our fans - they were with us the
whole way.'
