inning with 3 runs on 4 hits. After an out was recorded, Johnny Logan kicked
off the action when he lined a base-hit. Gil Hodges stepped up next and he
hit a single. After another out, Willie Jones then slapped a one-base hit to
load the bases. Gene Woodling followed and he doubled clearing all three
