Two Errors by Baxes Give Yankees 10-9 Win Over A's
The New York Yankees edged the Kansas City Athletics 10-9 in 14 innings as two misplays by A's shortstop Mike Baxes fueled a marathon game of 4 hours 47 minutes. Mantle moved to third on the miscue then scored on a Baxes muffed grounder, with Billie Bauer also involved in the late inning craziness. The A's had 26 hits to the Yankees 16 in a high scoring American League contest. Wally Burnette took the loss. Tommy Byrne earned the win.
