Maglie Shines For Giants In Exhibition Classic
Silent Sal Maglie pitched three innings with a steady hand for New York in a star studded game. He fanned Williams and later escaped trouble as teammates misplayed a ball for a double, yet Maglie still claimed a personal triumph in a season that has seen him emerge as a top pitcher. The game featured Don Newcombe and Ewell Blackwell facing heavy hitters as Duke Snider and Pee Wee Reese dropped a ninth inning inning ball for a double, but the dominant story remained Maglie and the Giants home run spark.
