St. Louis bats were hot in the 4th inning which saw them plate 4 runs on 4 hits and the 5th inning when they had 7 runs on 6 hits. St. Louis had many opportunities throughout the game and scored in 6 separate innings. Dick Coffman(4-7) was the winner allowing 1 run in 8 innings. Milt Gaston(4-11) was tagged with the loss. His ERA ballooned from 5.76 to 6.21 as he allowed 9 runs in 4 innings. 'The ball was jumping off my bat' Pepper said. 'I didn't do anything differently, it's the same way I always approach the game.'
