Paul Smith came through with a bases loaded single off Don Elston of the Cubs, in the bottom of the 9th to give Bucs a 3-2 win. In other games the Phils pulled to within one half game of the league leading Milwaukee Braves with their win over the Braves. Don Cardwell is really pitching well for Quakers, with a 6 and 2 mark with a nifty 3 hitter and 2-1 win over Warren Spahn. "Cardy's ERA is now down to 2.69 and he is holding the opponents batting average to below 7 hits per nine innings pitched", says Phillie play-by-play man By Saam. Gino Cimoli has been in a year long slump, but tonight against the Cardinals he had four hits and a game winning, "walk off homerun" as the Bums beat Red Birds 7-6. Stan Musial hit number 14 in a losing cause. The Cincinnati Redlegs out slugged the Giants 9-5 as Post (11th), Hoak and Bailey (10th each) hit boundry belts. The Redlegs now have five batters in their everyday lineup that have hit double figures in homeruns. As a team the Rhinelanders have hit 82 so far this season. In 1956 the Redlegs set a record with 221 homeruns for the season.
