St. Louis lost it in the 7th inning when Milwaukee did all their damage when
they came up with 4 runs on 4 hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Bill
Bruton who brought the crowd to their feet when he stroked a one-base hit
which was good for two runs.  Neither team was able to score until the 7th
inning.  
 
The victory went to Burdette(4-1) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Larry
Jackson(1-2) was tagged with the loss.  He allowed 4 runs and 8 hits in 7
innings.
