In a dramatic ending, the Philadelphia Phillies staged a comeback win over the

Cincinnati Redlegs by the count of 3 to 2.

 

Philadelphia had the winning rally in the 9th inning with 2 runs using 2 hits.

Jim Greengrass was the sparkplug when he cracked a solo homerun (his 3rd of

the season).  After an out was recorded, Willie Jones came up and he ripped a

solo home run (his 15th of the season) giving Philadelphia the victory as

8,753 happy fans celebrated wildly.  Philadelphia totaled 7 on the night.

 

Jack Meyer(8-8) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. In his Major League

debut Don Gross(0-1)was tagged with the loss.  He gave up 7 hits and 1 walk in

8 and 1/3 innings.

 

Mayo Smith was ebullient after the game, 'It's great to win a hard fought game

like that.  Our guys just weren't going to be denied.  And did you see the

fans - they were going wild! Yes sir, a very enjoyable win tonight!'
