WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Del Crandall blocked the plate, saving a run!
Bot 5th: Willie Mays robbed Johnny Logan of an extra base hit.
Left fielder Andy Pafko had 2 base hits at County Stadium as the Milwaukee
Braves beat the New York Giants 7 to 4.
Milwaukee brought 6 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 7th inning.
The big moment was provided by Hank Aaron who excited the crowd when he
brought the hometown folks to their feet with a Grand Slammer (his 24th of
the season). Despite losing, New York out-hit Milwaukee 9 to 5.
The victory went to Ray Crone(4-5) who went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs. Johnny
Antonelli(8-8) was the loser. He was knocked around, surrendering 7 runs in
6 and 2/3 innings.
The Milwaukee ballclub's record now stands at 62-38. Lou Durocher was pretty
down after the loss. 'We've really been sputtering along lately, something
like 2-8 in the last week or two. That won't get it done.'
