Big Day by Olerud Ignites Athletics Win
With first baseman John Olerud leading the charge, the Oakland Athletics defeated the Washington Senators, 10-4, at Oakland Coliseum. Olerud, who is a two-time All-Star, went 4 for 4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Even with the win, the Athletics have a dismal 42-86 record.

One important at-bat for Oakland came with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the bases loaded, Olerud hit a run-scoring single, which contributed to the Athletics win.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Olerud told a Oakland Citizen reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."
