Cleveland fattened its American League lead to IVz games with a barrage of three homers that beat their old Yankee and helped make their famous Ed Lopat, 8-2, in the winter deal look lop-sided.

Thomson's single, off relief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, scored pinch runner Jim Pendleton from second base. Thomson's anxiousness to "come through" against his old teammates was easily understandable.

At least that's what the San Francisco Seals found out last night as they finally wrested victory from the league leaders by scoring a run in the bottom the 15th inning. The run gave the Seals a 3-2 win and their first triumph of the week after four straight losses to the Stars. San Diego gained to within four and a half games-of Hollywood by trouncing Seattle 10-2. Oakland and Sacramento also pulled infinitesimally closer, the Oaks with a 2-1 win over Los Angeles and the Sacs by edging Portland 4-3. Leo the Hero Shortstop Leo Rhigetti 'jvas the San Francisco hero, singling with two out and two on in the bottom of the loth for the winning counter.
