Willie Mays makes a miraculous play in the 8th

ByBaseball

Giants P Jim Hearn defeats the Dodgers, 3 – 1, as Willie Mays makes a miraculous play in the 8th. With the score 1 – 1 and Billy Cox on third, Mays makes a running catch of a Carl Furillo drive in deep right center field and whirls counterclockwise to throw out the astonished Cox at home. Wes Westrum’s two-run homer off Ralph Branca in the 8th provides the two-run margin. Hearn allows just six hits, all singles, as the Giants move to 10 1/2 behind Brooklyn.

Al Rosen belts a 1st-inning grand slam to jump start the Indians to a 9 – 4 win over the Browns, their 13th in a row. For Rosen, it is his fourth slam of the year, just the 9th player to accomplish the feat. Ned Garver gives up seven runs in the 1st inning in losing to Early Wynn.
