Smoky Burgess cracked a homer and had 2 RBI at Crosley Field as the Cincinnati
Redlegs pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the Milwaukee Braves by the
count of 6 to 5.
Cincinnati scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning as they
scored 5 runs on 5 base hits. The critical plate appearance was by Burgess
who brought the crowd to their feet when he bombed a two-run dinger (his 11th
of the season). Both teams ended up with 10 on the night.
The winning pitcher was Joe Black(4-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. The
loss was charged to Ernie Johnson(2-4) in relief. 'We just wouldn't give
up,' Burgess said. 'Much of the credit goes to our fans - they were with us
the whole way.'
