LOU, Class ’32 Athletics Leave Cellar In AL’s Longest Game KANSAS CITY —The dogged Kansas City Athletics pulled them selves out of the American League basement Wednesday with a 17-in ning, 7-6 victory over the Wash ington Senators, decided by Ca- miljo Pascual’s bases-full wild pitch that let bonus boy . Cletus Boyer scamper in with the winning run. It was the longest game in the American League this year. Jim Finigan’s home run to lead of the 17th against faltering Con nie Gi - ob tied the score after Wash ington had gone ahead 6-5 in its half on Roy Siever’s single, a sacri fice and Whitey Herzog’s double. Then in a struggle as tense as though the clubs were battling for the league lead, the Athletics eked out the winning run. Grob got Joe Ginsberg on a pop foul but young Boyer popped a single to right. Manager Lou Boudreau, who had used three straight pinch hitters in a successful effort to tie the score in the ninth, reached into his bull pen and brought up left-handed pitcher Tom LaSordia to hit for Tom Gorman. Skipper Charlie Dressen yanked Grob and bi-ought on lefthander Chuck Stobbs to pitch. Then Bou- di-eau substituted another hurler, right-handed hitting Alex Kellner for LaSorda. The big pitcher re sponded with a single to short right field, sending Boyer to third. Pascual came in to relieve Stobbs and walked Mike Baxes on four pitches, filling the bases.
