Joe Nuxhall tossed a complete game and Milt Smith connected with a 'big fly'
and had 3 RBI at Crosley Field as the Cincinnati Redlegs beat the New York
Giants by the count of 8 to 1.
Cincinnati tallied 6 runs in the bottom of the 6th inning with the help of 5
hits. The key at-bat was by Smith who brought the crowd to their feet when
he lofted a three-run bomb (his 1st of the season). Cincinnati finished with
10 hits in the victory.
The victory was credited to Nuxhall(13-9) who went the distance, allowing 1
run. The losing pitcher was Johnny Antonelli(8-10). He got hit pretty hard,
allowing 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
Roy Campanella had 4 hits and singled in the winning run as the Dodgers end their 3 game losing streak 7-6 over the Cubs.

The Cincinnati Redlegs sent career Pacific Coast League all star Joe Brovia back down. Brovia, 33 years old, has been used exclusively as a pinch hitter since being called up on June 29th. Hitting .154 in 15 plate appearances with no homers or RBI, Brovia was deemed expendable by Redleg skipper Birdie Tebbets.
Following is a link to a great story on Brovia:
