Center fielder Gus Bell left the yard and had 3 RBI as the Cincinnati Redlegs
beat the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 7 to 6.
Cincinnati scored the decisive runs in a big 8th inning scoring 3 runs using 3
hits. Ted Kluszewski started the inning off right when he doubled. Wally
Post stepped up to the plate and he doubled resulting in a run. Bell then
blasted a two-run home run (his 14th of the season). Philadelphia had a
chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
The victory went to Joe Black(3-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs. Bob
Miller(3-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. Despite losing Mayo Smith was
optimistic after the game. 'We'll get over this one. Sometimes the breaks
fall your way, sometimes they don't. Any one of a dozen little things go
different, and we come out on top.'
Al Dark had 3 hits and 2 RBI as the Giants rolled over the Cardinals 8-3.

Braves pulled out a win over the Brooklyn Dodgers by a score of 5 to 2 at

Milwaukee came through with the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 9th
inning with 3 runs using 3 hits. George Crowe led off and started the rally
when he laced a base-hit. Del Crandall stepped up next and he stroked a
single. Crandall took second on the throw. Chuck Tanner then lost the ball
over the fence for three runs (his 3rd of the season) making Milwaukee the
victors to the delight of the home town faithful. Milwaukee finished with 8
hits in the victory.

In a suprising move the New York Giants sent Monte Irvin to Triple A today and recalled infielder Wayne Terwilliger.
Irvin, the 36 year old outfielder, was hitting .269 with 16 RBI in 52 games so far this year. For the last two weeks he had mainly been used as a pinch hitter as Skipper Leo Durocher has looked for ways to boost the Giants to last years pennant winning ways. As one of the first players to break the color barrier (debut was 1949), Irvin was in his 7th year with the New Yorkers and last year hit .235 with 15 homers and 63 RBI in 134 games for the NL Pennant winners.
Terwilliger, a 29 year old infielder, spent last season with the Washington Nationals hitting .204 with 3 homers and 18 RBI in 115 games. This is his 4th team in his 6 year big league career. Durocher plans on using him to spell slumping Davey Williams(hitting .173) at 2nd base.

Hank Sauer hit one over the fence and had 2 RBI at Wrigley Field where the
Chicago Cubs beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in 10 innings 6 to 3.
The score was tied at 3 after nine. Chicago came out the victor in the 10th
inning. Frankie Baumholtz led off and started the rally when he slapped a
one-base hit. Ernie Banks followed and he stroked a base-hit. Sauer was the
next batter, but he struck out. Bob Speake was a strikeout victim, unable to
help out. Dee Fondy came to the plate and lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his
11th of the season) resulting in a mighty exciting win for Chicago and the
7,922 home town fans in attendance. Chicago had 13 hits overall, while
Brooklyn had 8.
The win was credited to Hal Jeffcoat(3-5) who went 1 and 2/3 innings allowing
no runs. Ed Roebuck(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief.
