Dusak Belts Bunch of Base Hits
Erv Dusak put on a hitting clinic as the Boston Braves dumped the Brooklyn Dodgers, 11-9, at Ebbets Field.

The Boston third baseman made Brooklyn defenders earn their pay, lashing Brooklyn pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Dusak said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Erv Dusak singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 9th and grounded out in the 9th.

Looking at his present stats, Dusak has compiled a .393 batting average in 8 games with a .452 on-base percentage, while hitting no home runs and driving in 5 runs.
