Long-time baseball executive Branch Rickey is named president of the newly-formed Continental League. The 77-year old former Dodger general manager is currently serving as an advisor with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
At Milwaukee, the Dodgers stake Don Drysdale to a 5 – 1 lead after five innings, but the Braves chip away and finally tie it with a run in the 9th. The Dodgers make it 6 – 5 in the 11th but Hank Aaron takes Drysdale deep to tie it up. Drysdale is finally relieved and Los Angeles wins it in the 13th, 7 – 6.
