In Baltimore, Sgt. Bilko commanded his troops through Memorial Stadium; in Washington, they just slugged it out...
Sens outslug Sox in 12-inning thriller
It all started innocently enough in the 1st, the upstart Sens "Piercing" a longtime White Sox ace for 5 runs in the 1st and 2 more in the second on a Chuck Hinton HR. Then Jim Landis got his troubled ace off the hook by way of a 4-hit effort, including 2 triples chasing home 5 runs, 3 of which came in the 8th, tying the score at 7. In extras, Luis Aparicio doubled home Al Smith and Landis in the 10th, seemingly giving the Sox the win; in the bottom half though, pinch-hitter Gene Woodling singled home Bob Johnson, moving Willie Tasby to 3rd, who then scored on a passed ball by Sox catcher Cam Carreon. in the bottom of the 12th, Warren Hacker routinely got the first 2 outs, then Marty Keough struck with a triple, and promptly scored on Tasby's walk-off single, ending a wild night in DC(final score, 10-9).
Injury report: Sox lose catcher Sherm Lollar for 10 games. Senators lose OF Gene Green for 15.
You'll never get rich(unless you're a Oriole-killer)
Steve Bilko commanded his upstart troops through Baltimore's Memorial Stadium with peerless precision. In the first inning, his double scored lead-off man Eddie Yost, then in the 4th, he commandeered a Steve Barber fastball into the Maryland moonlight leading off the front end of a back-to-back longball binge, promptly followed by Leon (Daddy Wags) Wagner's 2nd HR in as many games. Bilko capped off his successful conquest with a RBI single in the 9th, scoring Albie Pearson, who had led off the inning with a double. Ken McBride pitched 7 shutout innings as the Angels held on for a 5-2 triumph, joining the equally upstart Senators at the top of the American League.
Oriole Notes: Oriole pitching has walked 17 batters in 2 games.
2 NL West Coast games to recap tomorrow night, good night for now.
