Bill Wight allowed Paul Richards to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game
as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings by the
score of 2 to 1 at Memorial Stadium.
The game was deadlocked at 1 after nine full innings. Baltimore won the hard
fought contest in the 10th inning. Dave Philley hit a single. Jim Dyck came
next and he smacked a single. Two outs later Chuck Diering stepped up to the
plate and he lashed a single making Baltimore the victors to the delight of
the home town faithful. Baltimore managed 11 in their victory.
The victory went to Wight(2-1) who went the distance allowing 1 run. The
losing pitcher was Ray Narleski(6-2) in relief.
'It's been a rough ride lately, but this was a good win for us' said Paul
Richards, 'Maybe this will put us back on track.'
Chico Carrasquel had 2 hits and an RBI to lead Chicago over Washington 5-3.

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Dick Groat robbed Joe Nuxhall of a base hit.
Dick Hall cracked a homer and had 4 RBI at Crosley Field as the Pittsburgh
Pirates pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the Cincinnati Redlegs by the
count of 9 to 8.
Hall was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors. He belted a three-run homer (his 1st
of the season) in the 3rd inning and doubled bringing in a run in the 6th
inning. Cincinnati scored in 5 different innings, but their shaky pitching
kept them from victory.
Vern Law(8-10) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 6 runs for the victory. Max
Surkont was credited with his 1st save. The loss was charged to Joe
Nuxhall(11-9). He got hit hard, allowing 14 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 1/3
innings.
Pittsburgh now has a record of 34-69. With the loss, the Cincinnati
ballclub's record is 58-41.
Sam Jones hurled a 4 hitter with 10 strikeouts as the Cubs easily handled the Phillies 7-1.

Walker Cooper had 2 base hits and 3 RBI and Sam Jones struck out 10 batters as
the Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7 to 1 at Wrigley
Field.
Jones(10-9) had a strong outing. He didn't give up much, just 4 hits and 4
walks in 9 innings. Chicago finished with 12 hits in the victory.
Saul Rogovin(0-3) was the loser. He was knocked around, surrendering 6 runs
in 3 and 1/3 innings. Jones was jubilant in the hometown clubhouse, 'It was
a lot of fun out there. The fans gave me a lot of support as did my
teammates. We got the victory and I'll sure take 10 strikeouts anytime!'

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.'
Duke Snider doubled, homered, and drove in 4 as the Dodgers hang on against the Cardinals 9-7.

In a two run game the phenomenal Brooklyn Dodgers got by the St. Louis
Cardinals by the score of 9 to 7.
Duke Snider enjoyed a fine evening at the plate. He doubled plating a run in
the 1st inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 22nd of the
season) in the 6th inning and slapped a base-hit which plated a run in the
7th inning. St. Louis made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to
push the needed runs across.
The win was credited to Karl Spooner(9-1) who went 5 and 2/3 innings allowing
2 runs. Spooner got relief help from Clem Labine who gained credit for his
5th save. The loss was charged to Larry Jackson(7-10). He was touched for 9
hits and 4 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.
'It's a disheartening loss, no question about it' said Harry Walker 'But we
have to get over it and get ready for the next game.'

just 6 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Chicago took care of New York with no
trouble in the 9th.
Ruben Gomez(5-6) ended up with the loss. He pitched 7 innings giving up 5
hits and 7 walks.
Kluszewski had 2 hits, a homer, and 3 RBI as the Redlegs outscore the Dodgers 9-6.

The Cincinnati Redlegs defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers by a score of 9 to 6 at
Crosley Field.
Cincinnati scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning when they had 4 base
hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Ted Kluszewski who brought the
crowd to their feet when he belted a three-run homer (his 31st of the
season). A wild affair, this game saw the lead change 5 times.
Gerry Staley(7-8) allowed no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Staley was helped out by Hersh Freeman who recorded his 8th save.
Don Bessent(4-1) was tagged with the loss in relief. He allowed 1 run and 4
hits in 3 and 1/3 innings.
