WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Roy McMillan robbed Harry Elliott of a base hit.
At Crosley Field the slumping St. Louis Cardinals were battered 13 to 6 by the
Cincinnati Redlegs.
Cincinnati came up with 5 runs in the 6th inning. The key at-bat was by Milt
Smith who made the crowd come alive when he smacked a three-run homer (his
3rd of the season). The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands
5 times.
Joe Black(9-1) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. Paul
Lapalme(3-5) was given the loss in relief. He was pinned with the loss
despite not allowing an earned run in his 1 inning of work.
With this win, Cincinnati has a 74-50 record. They have been 7-3 lately.
With the loss, the St. Louis ballclub's record is 49-72.
