Ed Holley(0-2) absorbed the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 10 hits and 4 walks in 7 innings. Bill McKechnie was beaming after the game, 'Not only were we making good contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'! I just love winning these tight ones! It was just our day - no doubt about it!'

Frederick provided much of the offense. He rifled a three-run blast (his 1st of the season) in the 5th inning and laced a single knocking in a run in the 9th inning. Brooklyn totaled 14 hits on the afternoon. Mungo(1-1) finished the game allowing 2 runs in the victory. Fred Fitzsimmons(1-1) was hit with the loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.

The victory went to Roy Joiner(1-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 6 runs. Bud Tinning gained credit for his 2nd save. Hal Smith(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 10 hits and 5 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings. CINCINNATI AT ST.

Dean(2-2) went the distance for the shutout. Paul Derringer(1-2) was given the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 11 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings.
