Luis Arroyo went the distance and Bill Sarni had 3 base hits as the St. Louis

Cardinals topped the New York Giants by a score of 4 to 2 at Polo

Grounds.

 

St. Louis had 2 runs cross the plate in the 7th inning when they had 4 base

hits.  Red Schoendienst led off and he drew a walk.  Sal Maglie then picked

Schoendienst off first base.  After an out was recorded, Ken Boyer came to

the plate and stroked a single.  Sarni came up and he laced a one-base hit.

Arroyo stepped into the box and lined a single driving in a run.  Bob

Stephenson kept the rally going and laced a base-hit scoring the final run of

the inning.  The New York batters went down meekly in the bottom of the 9th.

 

The victory was credited to Arroyo(6-6) who went the distance, allowing 2

runs. Maglie(6-6) was given the loss.  'I had a little blister on my index

finger before the game, but I thought it was nothing.' Arroyo said.  'I was

lucky I got a win because I couldn't put the ball where I wanted it.'
