on top in the 10th inning. After an out was recorded, Joe Collins was hit by
a pitch. After another out, Gil McDougald stepped in and he tripled making
New York the winners and sending the 68,870 fans home happy. Chicago had 15
hits in the game while New York had 12, but New York had the more timely
hits.

Sandy Consuegra(8-5) absorbed the loss in relief. With this win, New York
has a 87-53 record. They have been 5-5 lately. Marty Marion was unhappy

Carlos Paula smashed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Washington Nationals
defeated the hapless Kansas City Athletics by the score of 11 to 8 at
Griffith Stadium.
Paula enjoyed a big day at the plate. He popped a two-run clout over the
fence in the 1st inning, cracked a two-run shot (his 7th of the season) in
the 3rd inning and laced a one-base hit in the 5th inning. Washington
dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.
The win went to Mickey McDermott(5-10) who allowed 1 run in 5 innings. Alex
Kellner(6-12) was charged with the loss. He gave up 6 runs in 4 innings and
saw his ERA jump from 3.92 to 4.18.
'I felt great out there today' Paula said. 'I was seeing the ball perfectly,
and I was right on it with my swing.
