Old pros and teen star boost Cardinals pennant drive
Hoyt Wilhelm 33 and Von McDaniel 18 form a bullpen duo for the St Louis Cardinals in a twin vision of relief. McDaniel, in only his second major league game, pitched four innings of one hit ball with five strikeouts to notch his first big league win. Wilhelm worked four hitless innings to pick up the save as St Louis rallied past Brooklyn 7-6. The win kept the Cardinals within reach in the National League pennant race.
