Philadelphia did all of it's offensive work in the 4th inning when they tallied 4 runs on 4 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Stan Lopata who electrified Connie Mack Stadium when he clubbed a three-run home run (his 8th of the season). Philadelphia and Cincinnati each finished the night with 8 hits. The victory went to Haddix(1-5) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. Brooks Lawrence(5-2) was charged with the loss. He pitched 8 innings giving up 8 hits and 4 walks. MILWAUKEE AT NEW YORK Braves.......... 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 2 - 8 10 0 Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 8 0 Win:Crone(2-3) Loss:Miller(1-3) Homeruns- B.Thomson(3rd), D.Crandall(4th) Center fielder Bill Bruton had 2 base hits and Ray Crone tossed a shutout at Polo Grounds as the Milwaukee Braves beat the New York Giants 8 to 0. Crone(2-3) had a strong outing. He surrendered only 8 hits and no walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 2.03. Milwaukee had 10 hits for the night. The loss was charged to Stu Miller(1-3). Milwaukee scored big getting 6 runs off him in 3 and 2/3 innings. ST.

Both teams were tied at 5 runs apiece after nine innings. Finally, St. Louis pulled the game out in the 18th inning. Eddie Kasko drew a walk. Lloyd Merritt stepped up next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. Don Blasingame was next to the plate, but was promptly struck out. Al Dark followed and he laced a one-base hit scoring the run. Dark took second on the throw. St. Louis had a total of 18 hits for the game. Merritt(1-2) allowed no runs in 3 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the victory. Laurin Pepper(0-2) took the loss in relief. Fred Hutchinson was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back. Now maybe we can relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.' CHICAGO AT BROOKLYN Cubs............ 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 - 2 9 0 Dodgers......... 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 5 1 Win:Koufax(2-3) Loss:Drott(3-3) Save:Labine(7th) Homeruns- C.Neal-2(3rd) Charlie Neal rocketed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs by the score of 3 to 2 at Ebbets Field. Neal had a good evening at the plate. He smashed a two-run homer in the 2nd inning and lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his 3rd of the season) in the 5th inning. Despite losing, Chicago out-hit Brooklyn 9 to 5. The victory went to Sandy Koufax(2-3) who went 5 innings, allowing 2 runs. Clem Labine gained credit for his 7th save. The loss was charged to Dick Drott(3-3). 'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Koufax said, 'this was one of those times.'
