Yankees' Ditmar and Braves' Spahn appear set to pitch Game Six as New York seeks to erase a 3 1/2 game defect after Turley’s shutout win. Burdette, hit by McDougalds homer in the sixth, allows five hits and 10 strikeouts in a strong 6 0 victory for the Yankees.
Yankees right hander Bob Turley kept Milwaukee guessing with a mix of curves and sliders to earn a 7-0 victory at Yankee Stadium. Turley, praised for control, said he felt in command all game and used fast balls as a decoy, while Stengel noted improved control compared with the previous Milwaukee start.
The Associated Press notes Milwaukee and New York jockeying in a multi game set with New York taking games two and five, Mantle Bauer and Berra keying offense while Spahn and Duren duel on the mound. Financial tallies show attendance and net receipts across five games and overall shares to players and commissions.
West Virginia University freshmen football team suffered nine injuries in a 41 12 defeat at Martinsburg to Maryland's Baby Terrapins. Ray Bazzoli and Jay Yeardley sustained the most serious leg injuries on the opening kickoff. Other injured: Bob Fletcher Warren Schwab Ed Macrosk Tom Arrigan Fred Adkins Carl Deavers Ted Midkiff.
In the sixth inning of the World Series game the Braves missed a potential sacrifice by Red Schoendienst, allowing a double play then trailing. The Yankees erupted in the bottom half, scoring seven runs as Lew Burdette was relieved and the Yankees pulled ahead 7 0.
Lew Burdette, 31, says he lacked the atom ball in Monday's 7-0 defeat to the Yankees and is ready for a rematch Wednesday if manager Fred Haney approves. He praised Yogi Berra for his double and noted Yankee batters hit some balls hard while others were soft. Burdette stressed the game was similar to last week and reflected on specific at bats by Hank Bauer, Mickey Mantle, and Elston Howard.
New York Yankees catcher Elston Howard delivers a standout performance in the outfield and behind the plate. His diving, twisting catch against Red Schoendienst with Bill Bruton on first base in the sixth inning helped deter a Braves rally. His throw doubled Bruton at first, aiding a 7-0 victory over Milwaukee. Howard credits his dual skills and says he is a better catcher, but adaptable if needed in the outfield.
New York is a 6-5 favorite to beat the Braves on Wednesday and even the World Series at three games apiece, with Milwaukee listed as the 11-5 favorite to win the series. The report notes players and positions, including Howard's 314 season average with 11 homers and 66 RBIs, and mentions position changes from outfield to first base.
World Series notes show Bob Turley striking out 11 Dodgers in 1956 and 10 Braves in the latest game, joining Walter Johnson as the only pitchers with 10+ strikeouts in two series games. Yanks seek to end a four game home swing by the Braves as Milwaukee won previous meetings. Yogi Berra ties record for most at bats in a World Series, McDougald hits homer moves to seventh all time. Yankees lead in slugging and total bases while six runs in the sixth tied a series record set in 1933 and 1903.
In Milwaukee AP dispatch Gil McDougald asks umpire Barlick to inspect a Burdette pitch before a third inning homer, saying the ball dropped like a knuckler though Burdette is not known for such a pitch. The Yankees won 7-0 as McDougald followed with a homer. Also noted is Bruce Pfann, Cornell senior end, son of former Cornell QB George Pfann, and lacrosse team captain.
