NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1957 National League                Date: 5/9/1957

Giants.......... 3 0 0  0 2 0  2 0    -  7 10  1
Win:Antonelli(2-2) Loss:Jackson(0-1) Save:Grissom(3rd)
Homeruns- D.Ennis(2nd), G.Harris(5th)
 
In a good matchup it was the New York Giants 7, the St. Louis Cardinals 5 at
the Polo Grounds.
 
New York jumped on top of St. Louis in the 7th inning when they tallied 2 runs
on 2 hits.  New York had 10 hits for the game and St. Louis had 6.  
 
The win was credited to Johnny Antonelli(2-2) who went 7 and 1/3 innings
allowing 5 runs. Antonelli was helped out by Marv Grissom who recorded his
3rd save.  Larry Jackson(0-1) was charged with the loss in relief.  He
allowed 2 runs and 2 hits in 2 innings.  
 
 
CINCINNATI AT BROOKLYN
Redlegs......... 2 0 1  0 0 0  0 1 2  -  6  9  1
Dodgers......... 0 0 1  0 0 2  2 3    -  8 10  0
Win:Newcombe(2-2) Loss:Hacker(1-1)
Homeruns- F.Robinson(10th), B.Thurman(5th), G.Hodges(4th), D.Zimmer(5th),
           D.Newcombe(1st)
 
Don Newcombe was able to finish what he started and was credited with a
complete game and Rube Walker had 2 base hits as the Brooklyn Dodgers beat
the Cincinnati Redlegs by a score of 8 to 6.
 
Brooklyn jumped on top of Cincinnati in the bottom of the 7th inning when they
scored 2 runs on 2 hits.  The key at-bat was by Don Zimmer who brought a roar
from the partisan Ebbets Field fans when he popped a two-run clout over the
fence (his 5th of the season).  Cincinnati made it exciting in the 9th, but
they were unable to push the needed runs across.  
 
The victory went to Newcombe(2-2) who went the distance allowing 6 runs.
Warren Hacker(1-1) was the losing pitcher.  Walter Alston was in a talkative
mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we could win all of the close
ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not going to happen, I think I'll
savor this one for a little while.'
 
MILWAUKEE AT PHILADELPHIA
Braves.......... 0 0 0  0 0 3  0 0 1  -  4 10  0
Phillies........ 0 0 1  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  1  5  1
Win:Conley(3-0) Loss:Cardwell(1-1)
 
Gene Conley tossed a complete game at Connie Mack Stadium where the Milwaukee
Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 4 to 1.
 
Milwaukee came up with 3 runs in the top of the 6th inning when they had 3
base hits.  They ended up being the winning runs.  Milwaukee managed 10 in
their victory.  
 
Conley(3-0) allowed 1 run on the game. The loss was charged to Don
Cardwell(1-1).  Milwaukee now has a record of 13-6.  With this loss,
Philadelphia has a 6-4 record of late, 12-8 overall.
 
CHICAGO AT PITTSBURGH
Cubs............ 0 0 0  1 0 2  0 0 0  -  3  9  1
Pirates......... 0 0 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  0  1  0
Win:Drott(1-4) Loss:Law(1-1)
 
Dick Drott held Pittsburgh scoreless on just 1 hit as the Chicago Cubs topped
the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 3 to 0 at Forbes Field.
 
Drott(1-4) escaped virtually unscathed against the Pittsburgh hitters.  He was
stingy on the mound, allowing just 1 hit and 2 walks in 9 innings.
Pittsburgh went down quietly in the bottom of the 9th.  
 
Vern Law(1-1) was charged with the loss.  He pitched 5 innings and surrendered
5 hits and no walks. Bobby Bragan was obviously impressed with the pitching
of Drott, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there tonight.  We just
couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him.  I just hope
that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'
