Dodger Rook Stan Williams Shuts Out Cubs 1-0
Stan Williams, a 21 year old rookie, blanked the Chicago Cubs 1-0 on a two hitter. He retired 16 in a row from the third through the eighth inning in a weather affected game marked by a 20 mph wind and 48 degree chill. Williams allowed only Al Dark's first inning single and Dick Drott's third inning leadoff single, while striking out three and walking one. The Dodgers improved morale as Williams credited the wind for helping his fastball. The Cubs faced a costly misread with advance ticket sales yet produced a feeble offensive showing in the dreary conditions.
