NLWC - 10/2
Riverfront Stdm
R.Bryant vs Browning
SFG 5, CIN 1
On paper the hometown Reds had everything going for them. They were facing a Giants team that had to play 2 straight play in games to get to this point, while Cincy had their ace (Tom Browning) ready to throw darts. Riding the hot hand of interim manager Mark Nixon the Jints juped out to a 1-0 lead when catcher Dick Dietz singled home Ken Henderson in the top of the first. Stretch McCovey's 2 run shot in the 4th made it 3-0 and Al Gallagher smashed the mellon over the green fence for a 2 run shot of his own in the 6th to make it 5-0. Cincy scratched across a pity run in the 9th to avoid being shutout, but that type of window dressing isn't eye candy for anyone. The
Jints win their 3rd consectutive elimination game and win the rights to face the #1 overall 1952 Phightin's. Ron Bryant threw 6 shutout innings for
the win and the much maligned Giant pen gave up just one run over the
final 3. Rightfielder Bobby Bonds (3-4) was on base all day.

EDITOR's NOTE: Spot starter Ron Bryant left the game with a sore shoulder after 6 innings. He is listed day to day for the NLCS.
