Del Crandall rocketed 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Milwaukee Braves
defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers by the score of 9 to 3 at Ebbets
Field.
Crandall was in a groove all evening. The Brooklyn fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box. He popped a two-run clout over the fence in
the 2nd inning, hit a bases-empty home run in the 5th inning and smashed a
solo-shot out of the park (his 31st of the season) in the 9th inning.
Milwaukee had 10 hits for the game and Brooklyn had 4.
The victory was credited to Lew Burdette(13-9) who went 7 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 3 runs. Don Newcombe(12-10) ended up with the loss. He allowed 4
homeruns in 5 and 1/3 innings of work.
Crandall said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate
tonight. You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you can. A couple
pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
Sid Gordon had 3 hits, a homer, and 2 RBI as New York downs Cincinnati 7-2 sweeping the doubleheader.
