There was little drama in the first three contests. The first game was at Yankee Stadium, and the home club scored five runs in the fifth and sailed to a 5-3 victory. The next day the Bombers put up 15 hits in an easy 10-3 win. Switching to Ebbets Field, the Brooks scored 6 runs in the second and held on to win 9-8, with each team getting 13 hits. All of this was a prelude to the dramatic fourth game, one of the most written about contests in baseball history. The Yankees scored a run in the first and fourth, and the Dodgers in the fifth, but as the game progressed people became aware that Yankee starter Bill Bevens had not allowed a hit. The Dodger had runners on all day, thanks to 10 walks, but entered the 9th hitless, trailing 2-1. 0 1 2 1 1 0 0 11.1 2.38 3 7 3 11 Spud Chandler 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2.0 9.00 2 1 2 3 Karl Drews 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 3.0 3.00 2 0 1 1 BoboNewsom 0 1 2 1 1 0 0 2.1 19.29 6 0 5 2 Joe Page 1 1 4 0 0 1 0 13.0 4.15 12 7 6 2 Vic Raschi 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1.1 6.75 2 1 1 0 Allie Reynolds 1 0 2 2 2 0 0 11.1 4.76 15 6 6 3 Spec Shea 2 0 3 3 3 0 015.12.351010 3 8 Butch Wensloff 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2.0 0.00 0 0 0 0 Totals 4 3 19 7 3 1 0 61.2 4.09 52 32 28 30 BROOKLYN DODGERS Name W L G GS CG S Sh IP ERA H SO ER BB Rex Barney 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 6.2 2.70 4 3 2 10 Hank Behrman 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 6.1 7.11 9 3 5 5 Ralph Branca 1 1 3 1 0 0 0 8.1 8.64 12 8 8 5 Hugh Casey 2 0 6 0 0 1 0 10.1 0.87 5 3 1 1 Hal Gregg 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 12.2 3.55 9 10 5 8 Joe Hatten 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 9.0 7.00 12 5 7 7 Vic Lombardi 0 1 2 2 0 00 6.212.15145 9 1 Harry Taylor 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0.0 -.-- 2 0 0 1 Totals 3 4 27 7 0 1 0 60.0 5.55 67 37 37 38 COMPOSITE PITCHING STATISTICS NEW YORK YANKEES Name W L G GS CG S Sh IP ERA H SO ER BB Bill Bevens
