The Dodgers’ Clem Labine beans Joe Adcock in the 4th. Though he is wearing a batting helmet, Adcock is taken out of the game as a precautionary measure. His helmet apparently saves him from a serious injury. He will appear in the starting line-up the next day. Gene Conley reciprocates by knocking down Jackie Robinson in the 6th. Robinson ends up scrapping with Eddie Mathews. The Braves win, 10 – 5, their 10th win in a row, as Conley runs his record to 10-5.
