Mickey Mantle connected with a 'big fly' and had 2 RBI as the Grand River
Ghostmen defeated the Brentwood Bearcats 3 to 2 at Yankee Stadium.

Grand River scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning.  The crucial at-bat
was provided by Mantle who made the crowd come alive when he cracked a
two-run shot (his 31st of the season).  Sal Maglie was perfect in relief and
gained credit for his 4th save. 

Lefty Grove(7-16) went 7 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. The loss was
charged to Luis Tiant(3-4) in relief.  He was a hard-luck loser as he did not
allow an earned run in his 2 innings of work. 

'He gutted it out' Buck Guthrie said of Grove.  'I was very impressed by his
tenacity.'
