second error of the inning and
Dark was safe.
Whitley Lockman climaxed the
tumultous inning by slamming a
line drive into the rightfield stands
for three-run homer. scoring be-
hind Thompson and Irwin. Lock-
mans hit Rugged the foul line all
the way.
That blow retired Raschi and
assured the defeat which
followed.
The Yankees today had numer-
GUS scoring opportunities but didn't
score until the eighth, when the
eighth base on balls given up by
the wild Hearn forced across a
run. Gene Woodling added a
home run in the ninth. but it was
meaningless by that time.
Get 3 Hits in Z Innings.
For seven innings the Yankees
obtained only three hits off Hearn.
Two of them came in the first
inning and the other, tainted
single by Berra, opened the sec
ond inning.
With one out in the first inning
RizzIto singled to left and the
Yankees tried a hit-and-run play.
Hearn foiled that maneuver by
pitching out to Wes Westrum.
whose throw to Dark caught the
stealing Rizzuto at second. Gil
McDougald then lashed a long
single off the left field wall. but it
was wasted when Joe DiMaggio
flied to Irwin in left.
Berra opened the second inning
with a tap to Lockman, but the
first baSeman's toss to Hearn cov-
ering first was high lazy floater
and Yogi was safe. It was scored
as a hit. but did the Yankees no
good, for Brown forced Berra and
Joe Collins hit into a double play.
Bobby Thomson Doubles.
Bobby Thomson, whose last act
at the Polio Grounds before to-
days game consisted of hitting a
three-run ninth inning homer
against the Brooklyn Dodgers to
send the Giants into the series,
started the Giants second inning
with double past Brown at third
base. Willie Mays, the rookie CEN
terf1elder who had gone hitless in
nine tries in the first two games,
singled crisply to right, scoring
Thomson.
Then the Yankees tried vainly to
get that run back and were un-
in the process.
Hank Bauer was safe to start
the third inning when Lockman
dropped Dark's throw. Raschi
tried to sacrifice but forced Bauer,
Hearn to Dark. Bauer piled into
Dark and the Giants shortStop
threw wild past first base.
RaSchi Easily Put Out.
Lockman raced to the field
boxes for the ball as Raschi who
had run down the rightheld line,
turned and legged it for second.
Bauer, standing near second base,
signalled for Raschi to come into
the base standing up. He did, and
was easy victim of Lockman's s
throw to Dark, completing a weird
double play.
Hearn walked six batters from
the third through the seventh inn
ing, but the Yankees couldn't de-
liver a blow which would hurt
him. They didn't deliver any
blows, in fact, for Hearn pitched
no-hit ball for five and two thirds
innings before McDougald singled
in the eighth.
The Yankees, who left 10 run
ners stranded, had their most
glowing opportunity in the eighth
when they loaded the bases. Riz-
zuto was hit on the right forearm
by pitched ball and McDougald
singled to center.
DiMaggio, hero in other World
Series bat hitless in this one.
popped to Thomson at third.
Berras best was a weak tap back
to Hearn which advanced the
runners. The bases were loaded
when Brown walked.
Walk Forces Yankee Run.
Collins fouled off several pitches
took the firing Hearn to a 3-2
count, and then walked, forcing
across Rizzuto. Manager Lee
Durocher. of the Giants, who had
sent Larry Jansen to the bull pen
earlier to warm up, instead called
on Sheldon Jones to face Bauer
Jones ended the threat by taking
Bauer's bounder and tossing him
out.
The doomed Yankees got their
other run with one out in the
ninth. After Johnny Mize batted
for Joe Ostrowski and flied out
Woodling homed into the right
field stands. Any notions the
Yankees were nursing of staging
IA comeback were halted when
Mays went to left center for Riz-
zuto's fly and Lockman gathered
in McDougald's foul for the game
ending out.
Mays got two of the Giants
seven hits off Raschi, Bob Hogue
and Ostrowski.
The crowd was the largest ever
to view World Series game in a
National League park but fal
short of the throng of &c, ,288 which
damned into Cleveland's Muni.
