NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1957 National League Date: 5/16/1957

NEW YORK AT ST. LOUIS Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 - 3 3 2 Cardinals....... 7 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 - 10 14 2 Win:Jones(4-0) Loss:Antonelli(3-4) Homeruns- D.Rhodes(5th) Sam Jones tossed a fine 3 hitter and Wally Moon had 4 hits and 2 RBI at Sportsman's Park as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Giants 10 to 3. St. Louis set the tone of the game in the first inning as they showed no mercy on New York blasting them for 4 hits and plating 7 runs. That scoring would be all that was needed. St. Louis had a total of 14 hits for the game. Jones(4-0) got the victory, allowing 3 runs for the game. The losing pitcher was Johnny Antonelli(3-4). He pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up 4 hits and 2 walks. PHILADELPHIA AT CINCINNATI Phillies........ 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 7 0 Redlegs......... 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 3 8 1 Win:Acker(1-3) Loss:Sanford(2-3) Save:Freeman(2nd) Homeruns- G.Crowe(3rd), D.Hoak(3rd) 13,399 fans watched an exciting game at Crosley Field. The Cincinnati Redlegs topped the Philadelphia Phillies by the slimmest of margins, 3 to 2. Tom Acker(1-3) put in a pedestrian relief performance just good enough for the victory. He went 1 inning allowing 3 hits and 1 walk. Cincinnati rapped out 8 hits for the night. Acker got help from Hersh Freeman who was credited with his 2nd save. Jack Sanford(2-3) was tagged with the loss. He surrendered 8 hits and 3 walks in 8 innings. BROOKLYN AT MILWAUKEE Dodgers......... 0 1 0 5 0 0 0 2 0 - 8 9 1 Braves.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 1 4 0 Win:Drysdale(3-0) Loss:Conley(2-2) Homeruns- S.Amoros(1st), D.O'Connell(3rd) Don Drysdale took a no-hitter into the 6th inning at County Stadium as the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Braves 8 to 1. Drysdale(3-0) had a strong outing. He didn't give up much, just 4 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 3.09. The right-handed Drysdale lost his no-hit bid when Ernie Johnson singled with nobody out in the 6th inning. Brooklyn managed 9 in their victory. Gene Conley(2-2) was tagged with the loss. He was knocked around by Brooklyn, allowing 6 hits and 3 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings. Drysdale was obviously very pleased with his performance in the aftermath of the game, 'It was just one of those games where everything worked. My arm felt great, heck, I could have pitched another two or three innings. I only hope that I can do it again next time out!'
