Griffith Stadium
GAME 1
Flores vs Haefner
Nats 10, A's 0
Mickey Haefner (1-5) won his first game in fine fashion, allowing just 2 hits and shutting the doors on the Mack-men. The hometown team scored early and often plating 10 runs on 14 hits. Second sacker Jerry Priddy had 3 hits as did third sacker Bob Johnson, who also had 4 RBI's.
GAME 2
Newsom vs Leonard
Nats 4, A's 3
The White Elephant's season seems to be slipping further away. Even their stopper Bobo Newsom failed to get the job done. Newsom looked so good for so long then flat out ran out of octane in the 8th. With 1 out a Bob Johnson 2 run double tied the game. With 2 outs a clutch single by John Sullivan plated Johnson for the eventual winning run. Washington's late rally took the losing moniker off of starter Dutch Leonard. Reliever Jim Mertz got the win and reliever Bill Lefebvre got the save.
GAME 3
Black vs E.Wynn
A's 8, Nats 5
Might as well start calling Early Wynn, "Mr. Early Loss". After being handed a 2 run lead in the bottom of the first Wynn blew up like napalm in the top of the 2nd allowing 5 Philly runs. The Nats battled back, but the A's feasted off of Wynn's repeated generosity (8 runs in 8 1/3 innings). Philly starter Black was quite ineffective and was relieved of his duties after 4. Reliever Woody Wheaton (4 innings / 1 ER) got the much deserved win bailing out his fellow hurler. A 4 for 4 day for rightfielder Hal Epps, who is the only Athletic hitting over .300, paced the offense. Catcher Frankie Hayes had 3 RBI.
GAME 4
Christopher vs Candini
Nats 17, A's 0
Milo Candini (CG 6 hitter) was the beneficiary of 17 runs on 22 hits. Washington broke a scoreless tie with 4 in the bottom of the third and just kept piling it on. Everyone in the Nats lineup recorded a safety. Seven guys had multi hit games. Interestingly the Nats did not record a homer and only had 4 extra base hits. Mickey Vernon was the ringleader going 4-5 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. George Case, Jerry Priddy and Gene Moore each had 3 hits. Shortstop John Sullivan had 5 RBI's.
