The powerful Brooklyn Dodgers tallied 6 runs in the 7th inning and defeated
the Milwaukee Braves by a score of 9 to 6 at Ebbets Field.
Brooklyn tallied 6 runs in the 7th inning with the help of 4 hits. The
crucial at-bat was provided by Gil Hodges who brought a roar from the
partisan Ebbets Field fans when he brought the hometown folks to their feet
with a Grand Slammer (his 28th of the season). Milwaukee had a chance in the
9th but they came up short.
Clem Labine(10-6) allowed no runs in 1 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Karl Spooner recorded his 1st save. Dave Jolly(2-2) was hit with
the loss in relief.
Charlie Grimm was in a contemplative mood after the tough loss, 'It is really
hard to lose this kind of a game. It may seem weird to some, but it is
easier to take the occasional blow-out loss. It is the ones that just barely
get away that hurt so much - like this one!'
