The visiting Cardinals tighten their hold on first place by shutting out the Reds twice‚ winning 3 – 0 and 7 – 0. Flint Rhem allows 3 hits in the opener to beat Si Johnson‚ then Syl Johnson wins the nitecap over Larry Benton. The Reds are credited with a triple play in the 6th inning of game 2‚ going from LF Nick Cullop to C Lena Styles to 3B Joe Stripp to SS Leo Durocher to 2B Tony Cuccinello. Cooch’s last out is a hidden ball trick and since the ball is never returned to the pitcher‚ a triple play is recorded.
