WEB GEMS- Bot 4th: Ron Fairly robbed Carl Willey of an extra base hit.
Carl Willey shut down the Los Angeles batters on just 2 hits at County Stadium
where the spectacular Milwaukee Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers by the
score of 2 to 0.
Willey(7-4) was tremendous on the mound for Milwaukee. He didn't give up
much, just 2 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 2.79. The
pitchers took over after the 1st inning as neither team was able to score
again.
The losing pitcher was Stan Williams(5-8). 'When Willey is on like that it is
a tough game to play, no doubt about it,' Walter Alston said. 'He always
pitches well against us.'
