inning.  After an out was recorded, Johnny Logan hit a single.  After another
out, Dick Littlefield came to the plate and uncorked a wild pitch.  Del Rice
then drew a walk.  Frank Torre came up and he laced a single to load the
bases.  O'Connell stepped into the box and drew a walk giving Milwaukee the
win much to the delight of the home town crowd.  The game was a wild affair
with the lead changing hands 5 times.
