Ebbets Field
GAME 3
Quinn vs Meyer
Dodgers 6, A’s 3
The Mack-men jumped out to a
quick 3-0 lead off of Brooklyn’s Monk Meyer, who’s relies on luck, guile and a
boat load of offensive support. At times
it looked like The Monk was on the ropes to be silenced by the Philly bats, but
somehow he was able to wiggle out of trouble and not allow the A’s to build on
their 3-0 start. The top of the 4th
looked to be another one of those 3 up 3 down innings for the Brooks, when
Jackie reached first on a seeing eye roller that just made it through the
hole. Campy roped one to left to put
runners on the corners. Hodges walked on
4 straight pitches to bring Skooonj to the plate with the bases FOB (Full of Brooks). On the first pitch from Quinn Mr. Carl Furillo
of Reading PA blasted one off the wall in left center to clear the base and tie
the game with a double. Neither team
scored in the 5th. Eddie
Rommel took toed the rubber for the A’s to start the 6th and was
greeted by a blast off the scoreboard by the Duke of Flatbush who cruised into
2nd with a stand up double.
Jackie walked, but was followed by a Campy strikeout. Gil blasted one deep to center, but Moose
Haas was able to track it down on the warning track for out number 2. That brought up Mr. Furillo in another clutch
situation with 2 out and runners on.
Once again Skooonj delivered.
This time he launched a 401 foot rocket into the cheap seats in the left
field pavilion to make it 6-3 Brooklyn.
Meyer would tire in the 8th and Jim Hughes replaced him with
1 out, and allowed just 1 harmless hit.
Closer Clem Labine would finish off the 9th with his 9th
save of the season. After the game A’s
manager Jim Clouser told reporters, “Things are bad when we can’t get a win off
Meyer”. Brooklyn’s manager responded, “Monk
sure makes it interesting out there at times, but the boys play well for him
and never quit”.
Dodgers lead series 2-1
