NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1957 National League Date: 5/20/1957

NEW YORK AT MILWAUKEE Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 3 - 4 9 0 Braves.......... 1 1 0 2 1 2 0 0 - 7 10 2 Win:Buhl(4-1) Loss:Worthington(1-2) Save:Crone(1st) Homeruns- V.Thomas(1st), E.Mathews(5th), B.Bruton(1st), D.Rice(2nd) Del Rice left the yard and had 3 RBI at County Stadium as the Milwaukee Braves beat the New York Giants 7 to 4. Milwaukee set the tone of the game in the first inning plating an isolated run. New York made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. Bob Buhl(4-1) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 8 and 2/3 innings. Buhl got help from Ray Crone who was credited with his 1st save. Al Worthington(1-2) absorbed the loss. He allowed 3 homeruns in 5 and 2/3 innings of work. PITTSBURGH AT CINCINNATI Pirates......... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 - 3 11 1 Redlegs......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 - 2 8 2 Win:Arroyo(3-0) Loss:Fowler(1-1) Save:King(1st) 19,440 fans watched an exciting game at Crosley Field. The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Cincinnati Redlegs by the slimmest of margins, 3 to 2. Pittsburgh won the game with a rally in the top of the 8th inning with 2 runs using 4 hits. Bob Skinner led off and he banged out a single. Two outs later Roberto Clemente came up and he doubled bringing in a run. Frank Thomas then stroked a single scoring the final run of the inning. Cincinnati had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. The victory went to Luis Arroyo(3-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 1 run. Arroyo was helped out by Nellie King who recorded his 1st save. Art Fowler(1-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. He pitched 3 innings and surrendered 4 hits and 1 walk. 'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Birdie Tebbetts said. 'It's bad enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating yourselves, that's really bad.' PITTSBURGH AT CINCINNATI Pirates......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 9 1 Redlegs......... 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 - 2 7 0 Win:Hacker(4-1) Loss:Kline(2-4) Homeruns- W.Post(2nd), G.Crowe(8th) Warren Hacker tossed a shutout as the Cincinnati Redlegs outscored the Pittsburgh Pirates 2 to 0. Hacker(4-1) looked very much in control throughout the day. He allowed just 9 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings improving his ERA from 2.17 to 1.66. Pittsburgh had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. Ron Kline(2-4) was the loser. He gave up 7 hits and 1 walk in 8 innings. Bobby Bragan was reflective after the loss, 'We should have won this one, we just made one too many mistakes. Son-of-a-gun, that added a couple more white hairs on this noggin of mine.' BROOKLYN AT ST. LOUIS Dodgers......... 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 - 6 9 0 Cardinals....... 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 6 - 7 12 1 Win:Schmidt(2-1) Loss:Roebuck(2-2) Save:Wilhelm(4th) Homeruns- D.Snider(10th), J.Cunningham(1st) The St. Louis Cardinals edged the Brooklyn Dodgers at Sportsman's Park by the score of 7 to 6. St. Louis came up with the deciding runs in the bottom of the 8th inning when they tallied 6 runs on 6 hits. The highlight belonged to Joe Cunningham who elicited a roar from the hometown fans when he cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun (his 1st of the season). Brooklyn threatened in the 9th but St. Louis was able to put down the rally. Willard Schmidt(2-1) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the win. Schmidt got help from Hoyt Wilhelm who earned his 4th save. Ed Roebuck(2-2) ended up with the loss in relief. He was unable to retire a batter allowing 3 hits and 1 walk.
