Dodgers Win, 4-3, Versus Chicago
The Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers got a fine performance from shortstop Floyd Baker, who was 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The loss makes Chicago 20-14.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bobby Thomson in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Hank Wyse to win the game for Brooklyn. The home crowd went nuts.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Thomson said.
