on to win over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 2 to 1 at Forbes
Field.
Brooklyn came up with the deciding runs in the top of the 9th inning scoring 2
runs on 2 hits. Roy Campanella opened up the inning nicely when he laced a
single. Carl Furillo next to the plate and he drew a walk. After an out was
recorded, Jackie Robinson stepped in and he drew a walk to load the bases.
Don Zimmer was up next and he banged out a single bringing in a run. Walt
Moryn came to the plate and hit a deep fly scoring the final run of the
inning. Brooklyn won despite being out-hit by Pittsburgh 8 hits to 5.

allowing 1 run. The loss was charged to Max Surkont(4-15) in relief.
