In a tight game it was the Cleveland Buckeyes 4, the San Francisco Golden Seals 2 at Dimaggio Field.
Cleveland scored 2 runs in the 6th inning. The highlight belonged to Stan Musial who silenced Dimaggio Field as he bombed a two-run dinger (his 1st of the season). Cleveland ended up with 11 hits for the game while San Francisco had 4.
Dick Ellsworth(2-0) went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Bobby Shantz earned the save, his 3rd. Juan Marichal(0-2) was charged with the loss.
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his best stuff,' Larry Reeves said after the game. 'Ellsworth did not have command of his pitches most of the night, but he proved he really knew how to pitch!'
