Roy Campanella left the yard and had 2 RBI and Don Newcombe was able to finish
what he started and was credited with a complete game as the mighty Brooklyn
Dodgers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 8 to 3 at Sportsmans Park.
Brooklyn scored 5 runs in the 5th inning with the help of 3 hits. The key
at-bat was by Gil Hodges who silenced Sportsmans Park as he belted a
three-run homer (his 25th of the season). Brooklyn rapped out 10 hits for
the afternoon.
Newcombe(11-7) allowed 3 runs on the game. Luis Arroyo(7-7) was tagged with
the loss. He was not very effective, surrendering 5 runs in 4 and 2/3
innings.
Brooklyn now has a record of a league leading 66-37. With the loss, the St.
Louis ballclub's record is 43-57.
