Willie Mays rocketed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the New York Giants won in
dramatic fashion over the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 8 to 6 at Polo
Grounds.
 
New York erupted with the game winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning
when they tallied 6 runs on 5 hits.  The key at-bat was by Mays who made the
home-town crowd a happy bunch when he belted a three-run homer (his 27th of
the season).  New York finished with 13 hits while Philadelphia ended up with
6.  
 
Hoyt Wilhelm(4-2) got the win allowing no runs in 2 and 2/3 innings. Jack
Meyer(5-7) took the loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and 1 walk without
retiring a batter.  
 
'Now that is what I call fun! I just love baseball, especially games like
this, of course,' Lou Durocher offered.  'Everyone at the stadium had a great
time - did you see the fans go wild there at the end?!'
