WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Bill Sarni blocked the plate, saving a run!
First baseman Wally Moon had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the St. Louis Cardinals
defeated the Chicago Cubs by a score of 6 to 5 at Wrigley Field.
St. Louis had 4 runs cross the plate in the top of the 7th inning when they
had 3 base hits. The big moment was provided by Moon who silenced the
stadium when he stroked a base-hit bringing in two baserunners. Chicago made
it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
The winning pitcher was Al Gettel(2-0) who allowed no runs in 1/3 of an
inning. Barney Schultz got the save, his 3rd. Jim Davis(6-5) suffered the
loss in relief.
'Just one or two mistakes were all it took to beat us today' Stan Hack said.
'We take these games one day at a time, but this one was hard to take.'
