Cubbies take 2 of 3 from Dem Bums

Wrigley Field
GAME 1
Podres vs Page
Cubs 7, Dodgers 4



The young brash rookie lefty from upstate NY fanned 10, but in the process got shellacked by the Cubbies.  Podres allowed 7 runs in 7 innings.  Gabby Hartnett's 2 run blast in the 6th gave the Cubs a 3 run lead that they would never relinquish.

GAME 2
Erskine vs B.Lee
Dodgers 6, Cubs 1



Dem Bums staked ace Oisk to a 3 run lead in the first as the curveball specialist from Anderson Indiana never wavered.  Oisk went 8 and gave up a run enroute to going 6-0 and lowering his ERA to 1.89.  Another Indianan, the Quiet Man, Gil Hodges went 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored and an RBI.  Brooklyn's well balanced attack was too much for Cub starter Bill Lee.

Ebbets Field
GAME 3
C.Bryant vs Roe
Cubs 5, Dodgers 4



Ole' Preach was victimized for 4 runs in the top of the first as the Cubbies battered around and served notice.  Leadoff man Stan Hack (3-5) was the catalyst all day.  C.Bryant went the distance giving up just 1 run in a 138 pitch complete game performance.
