Right fielder Wally Post had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Cincinnati Redlegs topped
the New York Giants by a score of 8 to 5 at Polo Grounds.
Post enjoyed a fine day at the plate. He banged out a single in the 2nd
inning, lined a base-hit in the 3rd inning, smashed a two-run homer (his 36th
of the season) in the 5th inning and stroked a one-base hit which scored a
run in the 7th inning. Cincinnati took care of New York with no trouble in
the bottom of the 9th.
Art Fowler(15-4) got the win allowing 5 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings. The losing
pitcher was Ruben Gomez(6-11). He gave up 6 runs and 9 hits in 7 innings.
