Ted Kluszewski launched 2 homeruns and Joe Nuxhall went 9 strong innings as
the Cincinnati Redlegs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 3 to 0
at Crosley Field.
Pittsburgh never recovered after Cincinnati took the lead in the bottom of the
3rd inning plating an isolated run. That early run support was enough for
Nuxhall(16-15) and Cincinnati. Cincinnati banged out 8 hits on the night.
Bob Friend(9-13) suffered the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in his 8 innings.
'Nuxhall took our guys to school' Fred Haney said. 'Too bad he doesn't pitch
for us - it would make my job a whole lot easier!'
Sam Jones tossed a 7 hitter as the Cubs score a one run win over the Phillies 3-2.

39,595 fans watched an exciting game at County Stadium. The New York Giants
topped the Milwaukee Braves by the slimmest of margins, 3 to 2.
Milwaukee was unable to claim the lead after New York went ahead in the top of
the 3rd inning scoring a single run utilizing 2 base hits. Milwaukee made it
exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
Johnny Antonelli(13-13) allowed 2 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Hoyt Wilhelm earned the save, his 1st. Bob Buhl(16-8) was tagged
with the loss.
'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Antonelli, 'I got burned
on a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'
Willard Schmidt went 8 plus strong innings as the Cardinals edged the Dodgers 4-3.

score of 4 to 3.
Willard Schmidt(8-4) pitched well for St. Louis in their victory. He went 8

Craig(5-2) in relief. Harry Walker was beaming after the game, 'Not only
were we making good contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'!
I just love winning these tight ones! It was just our evening - no doubt
about it!'
