Down 3 – 0 in the 8th, the Brewers score four runs, three of them on a Danny Walton bases-loaded double, to beat the Indians, 4 – 3. Gus Gil’s single drives in the last run. The biggest crowd of the season, 44,387, is on hand for bat day, allowing Bernie Brewer to leave his perch in right field after 40 days. Bernie had vowed to stay there until the crowd topped 40,000, and when the attendance is announced, Bernie slides down his slide.
