Heath Delivers Walk-Off Win for Braves
Dave Philley did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to spare the St. Louis Cardinals an extra-inning, 4-3 loss to the Boston Braves at Braves Field. Philley went 3 for 3 with 3 singles and a walk. Boston reliever Art Houtteman was the winner. His record is now 2-0. The losing pitcher was Herman Besse. Boston now sports a record of 12-19.

The Braves got a clutch hit from left fielder Jeff Heath. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Braves.

"This place was electric at the end," Heath said.
