On July 18, 1953 — At Ebbets Field Dodger backup 1B Wayne Belardi in the 4th inning pinch hits for Russ Meyers and walks off Joe Presko and comes around to score in the same inning he connects on a pinch-hit grand slam off CLiff Chambers. The Dodgers score 9 runs to take an 11-6 lead. His slam is the third Dodger grand slam in three games (Gil Hodges connected on the 16th, and Billy Cox, on the 17th).
The Dodgers’ 14 – 6 win over the Cardinals puts Brooklyn three games ahead of Milwaukee.
