Phillies End Ennis Slump With 15th Inning homer

Del Ennis belted a three run homer in the 15th to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to an 8 5 victory over the Milwaukee Braves in the longest County Stadium game on record. Richie Ashburn and Stan Lopata scored on the drive as Ennis snapped a batting slump. The win gave Philadelphia pitcher Jack Meyer his fifth decision in relief after Miller worked the final frame. The Braves, who led the game into extra innings, loaded the bases in their half before Meyer retired the next three hitters. The marathon game endured about six hours and 20 minutes amid rain delays and daylight into twilight.
