HAMMERS SWEEP TO HAND PEACHES SIXTH STRAIGHT LOSS

FEATURE GAME: Hammers 1 Peaches 0

Juan Marichal was terrific, tossing a four hit shutout. He struck out four and did not walk a single batter. A Frank Baker error in the first led to the game’s only run. Peaches starter, Eddie Plank, only gave up four hits in six innings, but he walked five, one of which was Carl Yazstremski, who scored the lone run for the Hammers. WP-Juan Marichal(3-4). LP-Eddie Plank(1-1).
