The final score was 8 to 6. New York jumped out to the early lead in the first inning plating 3 runs on 4 base hits. Hank Thompson started the inning off right when he stroked a single. Billy Goodman came to the plate and ripped a base-knock. Del Ennis then doubled which scored a run. Ralph Kiner was up next and he hit a deep fly scoring one more run. After another out, Chuck Diering stepped up to the plate and he was walked intentionally. Stan Rojek extended the rally and banged out a single, and an error was also committed, scoring the final run of the inning. Cincinnati tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th. The win was credited to Vern Bickford(5-0) who went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs. Alex Kellner(2-1) was hit with the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 16 hits and 3 walks in 8 innings. 'I was a little good, a little bad and a little ugly.' said Bickford, 'I was just giving us a chance to win.'
