TEAM RISP- Yankees: 1 for 9 Dodgers: 2 for 10
In a lop-sided win the Brooklyn Dodgers ripped the floundering New York-AL
Yankees by a 9 to 4 count.
The Brooklyn fans enjoyed the offense provided by Sherm Lollar. He doubled in
the 1st inning, doubled resulting in a run in the 3rd inning and blasted a
solo shot in the 5th inning. New York-AL was out-hit by Brooklyn, 12 hits to
7.
Hal Brown(4-5) got credit for the victory, pitching 8 innings and allowing 3
runs. Lou Sleater gained credit for his 1st save. Jim Wilson(1-3) absorbed
the loss. He served up 3 gopher balls in 8 innings.
Brooklyn now has a record of 54-55. New York-AL can't seem to snap out of
their recent 'funk'. Now they have a miserable 0-10 record over the last
couple weeks.
