Bob Lemon was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete

game at County Stadium as the Fullerton Titans beat the Kansas City A's by

the count of 7 to 4.

 

In the bottom of the 3rd inning Fullerton scored 5 runs when they came up with

4 base hits.  That early run support was all that Lemon(1-0) required.

Fullerton rapped out 10 hits for the night. 

 

Virgil Trucks(0-1) was charged with the loss.  He allowed Fullerton 5 runs in

4 innings of work.
