Stewart had appeared in AZ
games in five seasons before ha
managed a victory over the Red
Sox in relief last Saturday night
in a wild 1873 game. Last night,
appearing for the first time since
the Boston game. he cashed in
again with shutout pitching for
-four innings which enabled the
Senators to edge the Indians.
Sd, in IL innings.
Bunky required stalwart assist
ance from Pete Runnels, who
Supplied five of the Senators 10
hits. Clint Courtney. who pro-
vided three doubles, and Roy
Sievers, who injected the single
with two out in the ninth inning
that tied the score after Runnels
Itripled.
Stands Up Under Pressure
The most heartening aspect of
Bunky's recent performances has
been that he hasn't wilted under
pressure. He was feeling it con-
stantly last night but extricated
himself nicely on each occasion.
In the eighth inning, for in
stance, Cleveland had a 4-3
lead and was threatening to
break up the game after Bobby
Avila walked and George Strick-
land singled him to third with
one out. Bunky yielded an in
territorial pass to dangerous AL
Smith, got Rocky Colavito on a
foul to Ed Yost, then whipped
a third strike past Don Mossi.
That kept the Senators within
a run of the Indians and with
one out in the ninth Runnels
chased MoSsi with a triple to
left. Al Rosen, blocking third
base. suffered a twisted right
ankle and knee when Pete
crashed him and was assisted
from the field.
Paula Debates Rally
Carlos Paula debated the rally
momentarily when he lifted a
foul to Preston Ward at first
base, but Sievers delivered a
last-ditch single to left off Raw
Narleski, sanding Runnels across
with the tying run.
With two down in the 10th
Stewart again had difficulty
when Strickland singled. Bunky
had baked as the result of
Courtney waving to him while
ne was winding up. With the
winning run on second, Bunky
purposely passed Smith again
and disposed of Colavito with a
Igrounder to YoSt.
The Senators mustered the
winning run in the 18th after
Yost walked and moved to sec
ond as Jerry Snyder grounded
out. Runnels. who previously had
contributed double, two singles
and triple, again singled to
left, scoring Yost.
But Bunky wasn't home with
his second straight triumph.

inning and MoSsi grounded out
