Redlegs staged a comeback win over the Brooklyn Dodgers by the count of 4 to
3.
Cincinnati came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 2

Birdie Tebbetts was feeling mighty fine as he answered questions in his office
after the game, 'Now that was one fine ending! Did you see how the crowd just
sat there in silence after the winning run scored? Here we are celebrating
wildly, and the stadium is cloaked in virtual silence. Weird. but GREAT!'
Roy Campanella went 3 for 3 with 2 homers and 4 RBI as Brooklyn destroyrd Cincinnati in the 1st of 2 games 17-2.

Roy Campanella slammed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Cincinnati Redlegs were
badly beaten by the Brooklyn Dodgers, 17 to 2.
Campanella had a good day at the plate. He rifled a three-run blast in the
1st inning, hit a bases-empty home run (his 34th of the season) in the 2nd
inning and slapped a one-base hit in the 5th inning. Brooklyn lit up the
scoreboard in the 1st inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 3 hits. The
Brooklyn offense was great, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings.
The victory went to Johnny Podres(11-4) who went 6 innings, allowing 1 run.
Podres got relief help from Don Bessent who gained credit for his 3rd save.
Johnny Klippstein(7-6) absorbed the loss.
Dick Groat's 2 run single in the 9th rallied Pittsburgh to a 6-4 win over Chicago.

Dick Cole had 2 base hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Chicago Cubs by
a score of 6 to 4 at Forbes Field.
Lino Donoso(2-5) came through for Fred Haney with an excellent relief stint.
He did not allow a baserunner in his 2 innings. Both teams totaled 9 on the
night.
Harry Perkowski(0-7) was the losing pitcher in relief. Pittsburgh scored big
getting 4 runs off him in 2 and 1/3 innings. The Pittsburgh ballclub's
record now stands at 45-81. Chicago can't seem to snap out of their recent
'funk'. Now they have a miserable 2-8 record over the last couple weeks.

WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Jim Rivera robbed Pete Runnels of a Homerun!
One run was the difference at Comiskey Park as the indomitable Chicago White
Sox defeated the Washington Nationals 3 to 2.
The game was won by Chicago with a run in the 8th inning. After an out was
recorded, Nellie Fox stroked a base-hit. Minnie Minoso followed and he
singled. Jim Rivera then would hit into a force play scoring the run.
Washington made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across.
Harry Byrd(14-8) went 3 innings allowing no runs for the win. Spec Shea(1-7)
was tagged with the loss in relief. He gave up 2 hits and 1 walk in 1 and
1/3 innings.
Chuck Dressen was in a sour mood after the game. 'Even you guys up in the
press box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'
Bobby Avila had 3 hits and 3 RBI as Cleveland outscored New York 7-1.
