Phillies 6, Cardinals 3  (51-44)

Bill Sherdel was roughed up for four runs by the Phillies in the sixth inning.  Syl Johnson and Hi Bell also got time in this one and while they held the Phillies scoreless the rest of the way, the Cardinals couldn’t come back.

Five different Cardinals had two hits and ironically, none of them scored.

The Cardinals won the back end of their double header with the Phillies by a single run.  Vic Keen held on in the ninth and while he bent and gave up one run, held on to pick up the win.

Bob O’Farrell had two hits and a run and all five Cardinals runs were scored by five different people.  The big inning for the Cardinals was the first, in which they scored three and chased off Phillies starter Claude Willoughby.
