BRO 3 8 0 10th
CIN 4 8 0
W: Johnny Vander Meer 1-0
L: Ralph Branca
HR: Eddie Lukon (1)
POG: Johnny Vander Meer W, CG, 8 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 4 K
Attendance: 11,170

Vander Meer was on his game and efficient with his pitches. Branca walks 2 men before giving up the winning single.

BAL 8 18 3
COL 4 6 1
W: Phil Marchildon 1-0
L: Marv Breuer 0-2
POG: Ferris Fain 3-5, R, RBI
Attendance: 20,981

Aside from the defensive lapses, this is how I want to play. Very aggressive, hitting and running, bouncing off the bases to force 2 scores on wild pitches. Marchildon could throw better, but he limited the Clips to only 1 extra base hit so I shouldn't complain too loudly.

BUF 3 8 2
MIN 7 12 0
W: Bill Sayles 1-0
L: Fritz Ostermueller 0-2
POG: Al Zarilla 3-4, 3 R, RBI, 2B
Attendance: 18,158

Bison took an early lead, and watched the Millers chip away 1 run at a time. Ostermueller gives up 7 hits to the first 8 batters in the 7th.

KCB 3 11 2
NYY 11 14 1
W: Monk Dubiel 2-0
L: Elden Auker 1-1
HR: Wally Moses 2 (1,2)
POG: Wally Moses 4-5, 3 R, 8 RBI, 3B, 2 HR, GS

Moses has the game of his life leading the Yanks to a series win.

The Beavers sweep their second straight series to start the season.

HOL 4 9 2
SAC 5 10 0
W: Gordon Maltzberger 1-0
L: Eugene Bremmer 1-1
HR: Harley Gathers (1), Anton Gogolak (1)
POG: Anton Gogolak 2-4, R, 3 RBI, HR
Attendance: 14,758

Gathers and Gogolak trade 3-run blast early to pace the game. Bremmer, so masterful in his debut, just ran out of luck today. Spider Jorgensen was 2-4 in his return, scoring the winning run on Don Lehardt's single.

PHO 1 5 0
SDP 3 9 1
W: Rod Lockheart 1-1
L: Bill Lohrman 0-2
POG: Rod Lockheart W, 8 IP, R, BB, 6 K

Vern Freiburger turns to unassisted double plays as Lockheart holds the Phoenix bats in check.

SLS 3 8 0
SEA 4 10 0
W: Ken Raffensberger 2-0
L: Dale Jones 0-1
POG: Tom Padden 3-4, R, 2 RBI
Attendance: 25,418

Harlond Clift and Tom Padden key two Rainier rallies in the 4th and 5th. Dash Spivey tried to slug the Saints into the lead but his team was not cooperating.

PHI 8 16 0
CHI 3 9 0
W: Jim Hearn 1-0
L: Bill Lee 1-1
POG: Pinky May 4-5, 2 R, 4 RBI
Attendance: 19,928

The Phillies didn't hit the ball hard jut often. The Cubs' pitching and hitting has not been as good as they, or everyone else, thought.

Game 1
NYG 4 6 0
DET 3 8 0
W: Dave Koslo 2-0
L: Dizzy Trout 1-1
HR: Buddy Kerr (1), Dick Wakefield (2), Johnny Rucker (1)
POG: Buddy Kerr 2-4, 2 R, RBI, HR
Attendance: 15,693

After an early flurry of long balls, the pitching dominated the game. Dizzy gave up more big flies and ends up on the losing end.

Game 2
NYG 7 10 1
DET 5 10 1
W: Rube Fischer 1-0
L: Nate Andrews 0-1
POG: Harry Danning 2-4, 2 R, RBI, BB, K, 2B
Attendance: 15,693

We find out why manager Del Baker is loath to use his pen-the G-men battered the relief corps.

Game 1
WAS 5 7 2
LAL 4 9 0
W: Sid Hudson 1-1
L: Johnny Rigney 1-1
POG: Al Kozar 3-5, R, 2 RBI, K, 2B

Lancers fall behind early and the Senators mange to hold off the comeback

Game 2
WAS 1 4 1
LAL 10 10 0
W: Eddie Smith 1-0
L: Prince Oana 0-1
POG: Eddie Smith W, 8.1 IP, 4 H, R, 2 BB, 2 K
Attendance: 20,429

Prince Oana gives up 9 runs in 1.1 innings; and it was hurry up and get it over with. The Senators only collected 4 hits, batting like they were late for a train. Washington pitchers walked 9 batters. DiMaggio is 3-3 with 3 runs scores; Jake Jones' first inning grand slam essentially ended the game.

PIT 6 13 0
MIL 0 9 2
W: Guy Bush 1-0
L: Warren Spahn 0-1
POG: Guy Bush W, 6.1 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 4 BB, K
Attendance: 20,898

44-year-old Guy Bush out duels young Warren Spahn. Spahn deserved better offensive and defensive support; his record won't reflect it, but he is showing signs of being a key member of the Braves rotation in the future.

CLE 0 1 1
SLC 4 10 2
W: Murry Dickson 2-0
L: Alfred Smith 0-2
HR: Whitey Kurowski (2)
POG: Murry Dickson W, CG, SHO, H, 2 BB, 5 K
Attendance: 15,288

Dickson came within a 7th inning triple of a no-hitter. The Cardinal offense was not impressive until late but Dickson was dealing today.

SFS 0 4 3
W: Mickey Harris 1-1
L: Sandy Consuegra 0-1
HR: Ted Williams (3)
POG: Mickey Harris, W, 8.2, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K
Attendance: 22,867

Don Lang makes 2 errors at third as part of a whole team collapse defensively and offensively. This is the kind of game you don't want to see too many of.
