Jackie Robinson hits an upper-deck home run in the 14th inning off Robin Roberts to give the Dodgers a critical 9 – 8 win over the Phils

On September 30, 1951 — At Shide Park, Knowing the Giants have won their game in Boston, Jackie Robinson hits an upper-deck home run in the 14th inning off Robin Roberts, who came on in the 8th, to give the Dodgers a critical 9 – 8 win over the Phils. Robbie saves the game in the 13th by making a great catch of an Eddie Waitkus line drive and throwing to second base for a double play. In the process, he injures his elbow. Reliever Bud Podbielan is the winner, the victory keeping Brooklyn in a first-place tie with the Giants. Catcher Andy Seminick of the Phils walks five times, the first Phillie to do so in a game. The Dodgers overcome a 6 – 1 deficit to win and set the stage for a playoff with the Giants.
