WEB GEMS- Bot 7th: Al Dark robbed Hardy Peterson of a base hit.
Frank Thomas touched them all and had 2 RBI and Bob Friend delivered 7 solid
innings at Forbes Field where the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Giants
in 10 innings 7 to 6.
The score was tied at 6 after nine. Finally, Pittsburgh pulled the game out
in the 10th inning. Preston Ward tripled. Dale Long was next and he was
walked intentionally. Thomas was next to the plate, but was promptly struck
out. Gene Freese stepped in and he stroked a one-base hit giving Pittsburgh
the win and sending the home town fans into a frenzy. Pittsburgh had 11 hits
for the night.
The victory went to Ron Kline(3-10) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. Marv
Grissom(0-6) was given the loss in relief. When questioned, Fred Haney
remarked, 'It's been a while since a win felt this good - heck, it's been a
while since we had a win period!'
Carl Furillo's 2 run bomb provided the margin of victory as Brooklyn downs Philadelphia 5-4.

Right fielder Hank Aaron had 4 hits at County Stadium where the Milwaukee
Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 17 innings by the score of 5 to
4.
The game was deadlocked at 4 after nine full innings. Finally, Milwaukee
pulled the game out in the 17th inning. Joe Adcock delivered a one-base hit,
and an error was also committed. After an out was recorded, Del Crandall
stepped up to the plate and he would hit into a fielders choice resulting in
an exciting win for Milwaukee and a wild post-game celebration by the home
town fans. Milwaukee won despite being out-hit by St. Louis 17 hits to 12.
The win went to Chet Nichols(7-2) who allowed no runs in 1 inning. The losing
pitcher was Mel Wright(1-3) in relief. He was pinned with the loss despite
not allowing an earned run in his 1 and 1/3 innings of work.
Hank Aaron tripled and homered as the Braves outscore the Cardinals 8-7 in the 1st of two.

Hank Aaron touched them all and had 2 RBI at County Stadium as the Milwaukee
Braves won in their last at-bat beating the St. Louis Cardinals by the count
of 8 to 7.
The game was won by Milwaukee with a run in the 9th inning. George Crowe
delivered a base-hit. After another out, Chuck Tanner dug into the batters
box next, but he struck out. Bill Bruton then laced a single, and an error
was also committed, resulting in a mighty exciting win for Milwaukee and the
32,346 home town fans in attendance. A wild affair, this game saw the lead
change 5 times.
Dave Jolly(2-1) got the win allowing 2 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. Mel
Wright(1-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. He was the victim of a
defensive lapse and did not allow an earned run in the game.
Sid Gordon doubled and tripled against his ex mates leading the Giants to an 8-3 romp over the Pirates and a doubleheader sweep.
