WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Don Kolloway robbed Carl Furillo of a base hit.
Left fielder Johnny Wyrostek had 4 hits and Russ Meyer was on top of his game,
blanking New York on just 3 hits as the St. Louis Cardinals crushed the New
York Yankees 11 to 0.
Wyrostek provided much of the offense. He stroked a base-hit in the 1st
inning, laced a single in the 3rd inning, slapped a one-base hit in the 5th
inning and depressed the partisan hometown fans with a grand slam home run in
the 8th inning. St. Louis managed 16 hits in their victory.
For Meyer(10-7) it was his 3rd shutout this year. Robin Roberts(10-9) was hit
with the loss. He allowed St. Louis 6 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings of work.
