Larry Jackson, a then little known 24 year old, pitched into the ninth in a 6-1 Cardinals exhibition victory. He held the Dodgers to just three innings, backed by Stan Musial and Wally Moon home runs and a rare shutout by the Brook pitchers until late. The win narrows Milwaukee’s NL lead to 1 1/2 games while other league results shift standings.
