Win:Ridzik(1-3) Loss:Roberts(9-11) Save:Freeman(7th)Homeruns- S.Palys(5th), W.Post-2(23rd), B.Morgan(8th), W.Jones(14th)
Right fielder Wally Post launched 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at Connie Mack Stadium where the Cincinnati Redlegs beat the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 11 to 9. The Philadelphia fans didn't appreciate the big day Post had. He hit a single in the 1st inning, lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in the 3rd inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 23rd of the season) in the 6th inning. Philadelphia was not lacking for run support as they scored in 6 separate innings, yet victory eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is also needed to win ballgames. Steve Ridzik(1-3) picked up the victory, allowing 2 runs in 2 and 2/3 innings. Hersh Freeman earned the save, his 7th. Robin Roberts(9-11) ended up with the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 14 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.

Dickson(5-8) gave Philadelphia a solid outing. He didn't give up much, just 5 hits and no walks in 9 innings improving his ERA from 4.46 to 4.20. Philadelphia rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon. Joe Nuxhall(10-7) was the loser. He was not very effective, surrendering 7 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. 'Dickson took our guys to school' Birdie Tebbetts said.

New York started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of the first as they scored 3 runs on 2 base hits.
