Braves Hitting Pitching Puts Milwaukee Lead With 95 Victory
Milwaukee Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9 5 at County Stadium to win their third straight. Sophomore Carl Willey went the distance, scattering 10 hits as Milwaukee surged ahead 3 1 in the fifth and added late insurance. Hank Aaron Del Crandall and Joe Adcock powered the offense with homers and key hits as the Braves widened their NL lead over the Giants to two games. Cardinals scratch across five runs, but pays the price for fielding miscues and timely Braves hitting.
