Center fielder Gus Bell had 4 hits and 2 RBI at Crosley Field where the
Cincinnati Redlegs beat the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 8 to 7.
In the 5th inning Cincinnati scored 4 runs when they had 5 base hits. The big
moment was provided by Wally Post who made the crowd come alive when he
lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 38th of the season).
Philadelphia made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across.
The victory went to Rudy Minarcin(6-5) who went 1/3 of an inning, allowing no
runs. Hersh Freeman got the save, his 12th. The losing pitcher was Ron
Negray(3-4). He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 5 innings of work.

1.
Haddix(12-12) delivered a fine performance for St. Louis. He allowed 11 hits

Windy McCall(7-6) was the losing pitcher. He gave up 5 runs in 4 and 2/3
innings of work. When asked about his strikeout total for the game, Haddix
offered, 'The fan's really got into it. It is fun to see them tally up the
strikeout totals up there in the stands. Fortunately, I kept them busy
tonight - of course, it would be all for naught without the 'W'.'
Gil Hodges had 2 hits, 2 walks, and 2 RBI and Brooklyn scored 10 runs in the 7th inning to coast over Milwaukee 14-6.
