ming streak perished under an
11-hit Philadelphia assault. into
which was packed a two-run
homer by Jim Finigan, a Yam
kee castoff, off Spec Shea. also
discarded by the champions.
Shea, making his seventh start
in fruitless search for his first
victory. instead was dealt fifth
defeat and was shelled for the
seventh time. In the final analy-
sis, though. it was shoddy pitch
ing by Camilo Pascual and Con-
ME Marrero in the seventh in
ming which doomed the Senators.
Martin, who replaced the in
effective Kellner in the fifth in
ming, achieved his second tri-
umph although he yielded three
runs
PaScual Loses Control.
The Senators were trailing by
one run in the seventh when
Spook Jacobs singled of Pas
cual. Jacobs promptly was picked
off first base, but any notion that
the Senators could relax at that
point quickly was dispelled by
Pascual.
He walked Don Bollweg, Fini-
gan and Gus Zernial to jam the
bases and threw two wide ones
to Bill Renna before Manager
Bucky Harris summoned Mar
rero from the bullpen.
Marrero was no sensation. He
slipped a strike past Renna. but

Vic Power followed with another
single to score Zernial and the
Athletics had a 7-3 lead.

With one out in the ninth.
Jim Lemon breathed hope into
the Senators with a double to
left, but he didn't bulge as Pete
Runnels fouled out and Fitz-
Gerald tapped back to Martin.
The AS bopped Sea for two
runs in the second inning after
Power lined out. Joe DeMaeStri
singled and Bill Shantz brought
him around with a double to

fourth, which Runnels opened
with triple to center. FitzGer-

across and Terwilliger followed
with a pop-fly single to center.
Terwilliger went all the way to
third base on a wild pitch. but
