Adcock Breaks Polo Grounds Jinx With Braves Rally
In a Brooklyn set of games, Adcock hit two homers at the Polo Grounds to lift the Braves over the Giants 8-7 and 3-1, snapping New York’s five-game win streak and spoiling a second place bid. He ended a drought by hammering a 447-foot drive to left-center and later a foul-pole shot for the go ahead two run homer. Whitey Lockman misread the first row seating as the ball sailed out.
