Campanella Delivers Uphill 3-2 Win for Dodgers at Wrigley
Roy Campanella hit his seventh homer of the season to cap a ninth inning comeback as the Brooklyn Dodgers edged the Chicago Cubs 3 to 2 at Wrigley Field. Gil Hodges reached base on a fielding error in the seventh to spark the rally while Turk Lown was near his first major league win before Campanella's game winning blast. The Cubs had taken an early lead with Baumholtz and Jeffcoat contributing, but Brooklyn loaded the bases in the fifth and later forced a protest by manager Chuck Dressen after a disputed play at second. The Dodgers' victory over Chicago was powered by key hits from Robinson, Furillo, and Reese, with solid bullpen work from King, Podbielan, and Disch.
