Yankees Narrow Dodgers to Force Series Split
New York pitcher Tommy Byrne earned the win as the Yankees beat Brooklyn 4-2 in the World Series. Byrne drove in two with a bases loaded single in the fourth, the key burst after Brooklyn led 1-0. The Dodgers added a run in the fifth, but a sixteenth inning double play and strong defense preserved the lead. The paid crowd reached 64,707 as New York evened the series at one game each.
