TEAM RISP- Dodgers: 6 for 12 Indians: 4 for 12
In a dramatic ending the Brooklyn Dodgers staged a comeback and held on to win
over the Cleveland Indians by the count of 11 to 6.
Cleveland was unable to overcome the big offensive rally by Brooklyn in the
top of the 9th inning as they erupted for 7 runs on 7 hits. The highlight
belonged to Al Rosen who helped quiet the crowd when he ripped a one-base hit
scoring two baserunners. Cleveland was out-hit by Brooklyn, 14 hits to 8.
Jim Hughes(3-3) allowed 2 runs in 3 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Hoyt Wilhelm(9-7) ended up with the loss in relief. Mel Gross was
understandably not very talkative after his team's tough loss. He quickly
showered and changed and when asked about the game had a terse, yet polite
response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to lose. Our guys gave
it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin' on us this afternoon'
