Bob Friend whiffed 10 batters and Bill Virdon had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the
Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Brooklyn Dodgers in 11 innings by a score of 10
to 9 at Ebbets Field.
The game was deadlocked at 8 after nine full innings. Pittsburgh came out the
victor in the 11th inning. Virdon led off and started the attack as he
smacked a single. Two outs later Frank Thomas came up and he popped a
two-run clout over the fence (his 13th of the season). This was the kind of
game that many fans love as the lead changed hands 5 times.
The victory went to Roy Face(5-4) who went 3 innings, allowing 1 run. Clem
Labine(4-6) was tagged with the loss in relief.
Pittsburgh now has a record of 59-58. Brooklyn has a record of 67-50 after
the loss.

Games of Saturday, August 17th, 1957. The Cincinnati Redlegs have drawn to within 1 and a half games of front running Milwaukee with their 5-4 win over Chicago. Hal Jeffcoat won his 14th of the season against 5 loses with relief help from Buster Freeman...14th save. In the game George Crowe hit his 35th of the year and Ernie Banks hit number 32 for the Cubs, to remain in second place in the homerun derby chase. The Milwaukee Braves lost their 4th game in a row as the St. Louis Cardinals pasted the league leaders 10-6. The Redbirds took their year long frustration out on Braves starter Lew Burdette, routing the Milwaukee right hander for six runs early. The Braves hit four homeruns, but made only 6 runs on the day. Henry Aaron became the third player to reach the thirty homerun plateau as he hit one of the Braves four bombs. Ruben Gomez of the New York Giants pitched a complete game, 9 strikeout performance against the slumping Phillies. The Quakers are now in fourth place, 6 and a half games out of first. the Brooklyn Dodgers made it two in a row over the Pirates and are only four games out in third place with a 4-2 win over Bucs at Ebbets Field. Gil Hodges hit his 21st homerun getting three hits on the day. The hitting hero today was "Flakey Joe" Cunningham of the Cardinals going 4 for 5 with his 12th homerun of the season.

Don Elston, pictured here with his Brooklyn card, tossed a beautiful 2 hit shutout of the Cincinnati Redlegs for his third win of the season for his present club the Chicago Cubs. Don has been roughed up most of the year. He has lost ten times and his ERA after the nine shut out innings dropped to 6.19. Two other shutouts were turned in on this Friday, August 16th, 1957. Both pitchers who turned the trick have been having troublesome years too. Johnny Antonelli surrendered only 4 hits in checking the Phillies, while Lindy McDaniel and his slumping St. Louis Cardinals stopped the front running Milwaukee Braves on 7 hits in their 2-nil win over the now losing three in a row Braves. Their lead stays at 2 and a half over the Redlegs with their loss to the Cubs. The other game for the day would have been a shutout too, but Johnny Podres got careless with Bob Skinner in the top of the ninth with two out and one man on board. Skinner hit a hanging curve onto Bedford Avenue and narrowed the gap to 3-2. Easy Ed Roebuck came on and got the save after issuing a walk for the Flock
