The win went to Harry Kinzy(1-1) who allowed 1 run in 2 innings. Red Phillips(0-1) was hit with the loss. He allowed 12 hits and 8 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. Jimmy Dykes was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there? You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead. But, hey, that's what makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over 'til its over.'
