Chicago had the winning rally in the 8th inning when they tallied 5 runs on 6 hits. Overall Chicago out-hit Pittsburgh 14 to 6. Dick Drott(1-1) got the win allowing 4 runs in 7 innings. Vern Law(0-1) suffered the loss. He allowed 6 runs and 10 hits in 7 and 1/3 innings.

Milwaukee did all the necessary damage in the 1st inning when they scored 4 runs on 5 hits. That early run support was enough for Gene Conley(2-1) and Milwaukee. The pitchers took over after the 1st inning as neither team was able to score again. Ernie Johnson recorded the save, his 1st. Don Cardwell(1-1) was given the loss. He pitched 8 innings giving up 10 hits and 3 walks. ST. LOUIS AT NEW YORK Cardinals....... 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 2 1 - 7 11 0 Giants.......... 0 8 0 0 0 0 5 0 - 13 15 2 Win:Antonelli(3-3) Loss:Cheney(0-2) Homeruns- H.Smith(1st), G.Harris(5th) First baseman Gail Harris had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the New York Giants outscored the St. Louis Cardinals 13 to 7. The New York fans enjoyed the offense provided by Harris. He stroked a single in the 2nd inning, rifled a three-run blast (his 5th of the season) in the 2nd inning, smacked a one-base hit in the 7th inning and banged out a single in the 8th inning. New York ended up with 15 hits for the game while St. Louis had 11. The victory went to Johnny Antonelli(3-3) who went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs. Tom Cheney(0-2) took the loss.

CINCINNATI AT BROOKLYN Redlegs......... 0 3 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 7 14 0 Dodgers......... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 5 0 Win:Hacker(3-0) Loss:Newcombe(3-1) Homeruns- G.Crowe(2nd) Warren Hacker delivered 9 solid innings and first baseman George Crowe jacked one out of the ballyard and had 2 RBI as the Cincinnati Redlegs defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 7 to 1 at Ebbets Field. Hacker(3-0) was very good in the win. He didn't give up much, just 5 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Cincinnati banged out 14 on the night. Don Newcombe(3-1) was the losing pitcher. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 6 hits and 3 walks in 3 innings. When questioned about his counterpart after the game, Newcombe was lavish in his praise, 'It was obvious very early on that we were going to be in for a long night. Hacker brought his 'A' game with him - he had good stuff and was able to spot it perfectly. He probably only made one or two bad pitches the entire game!
