Mantle provided much of the offense. He doubled in the 1st inning, cracked a solo homerun in the 4th inning, doubled in the 5th inning and rifled a three-run blast (his 38th of the season) in the 6th inning. Grand River kept the scorekeepers busy in the 4th inning with 3 runs on 4 hits, the 5th inning when they had 3 runs on 3 hits and the 6th inning with 3 runs. The Grand River offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings. The win was credited to George Winter(2-1) who went 4 and 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs. Bob Lemon(13-10) suffered the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 11 hits and 6 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings. 'They made a couple of mistakes and I took full advantage,' Mantle said 'next time I'm sure they'll pitch me tougher.' |
