Campanella enjoyed a big evening at the plate. He smashed a solo-shot out of
the park in the 2nd inning and clubbed a three-run home run (his 37th of the
season) in the 4th inning. Brooklyn bats were hot in the 3rd inning scoring
4 runs and the 4th inning with 4 runs on 3 hits. Brooklyn managed 11 in
their victory.
The victory was credited to Karl Spooner(12-1) who went 5 innings, allowing 2
runs. The losing pitcher was Dick Hall(6-4). He gave up 6 runs in 2 and 2/3
innings of work.
