Before a paid attendance of 41,596 in Boston, the largest crowd in the National League since 1930, the Cards and Bees split. The Bees take the opener, 4 – 3, on Wally Berger’s two-run homer in the 8th inning off Jesse Haines. The nitecap is knotted at 2 – 2 in the 7th, when the Cards unload five runs. Joe Medwick leads off the frame with a homer, Johnny Mize doubles, and Virgil Davis homers to knock out Ben Cantwell. After two more reach base, Dizzy Dean drives them both home to ensure his 16th win of the year. Dean has a run-scoring triple in the 3rd as well.
