Williams Rips 2 Home Runs in 9-4 Foresters Triumph
Paul Williams made an impact in the 9-4 Cleveland win over San Francisco. Williams, who finished 2nd in the FA in on-base percentage with .423 in 1952, slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Sibby Smith went 7 innings for Cleveland to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs. He scattered 5 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 4. His record improves to 13-6. Cleveland is now 70-71.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Sherry Doyal to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Foresters ahead, 7-4. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Doyal told the Cleveland Times.
