In the first of two this Labor Day‚ Dolph Camilli hits the 200th home run of his career against the Braves to put the game into extra innings. Camilli then gives the Dodgers a 6 – 5 victory in the 15th inning with his 5th hit of the game. Camilli’s 29th homer of the year ties the game in the 8th‚ his double in the 10th with 2 on keeps the Dodgers alive‚ and a 2-out single in the 15th wins the game. Game 2 is cut short at 2 – 2 with Al Javery on the mound for Boston; he’ll get no rest tomorrow as he is the loser in a 9 – 2 Brooklyn win.
