GAME 6
Sorensen vs Nuxhall
Reds 9, Brewers 1
Frank Robby and Big Klu hit back to back jacks to break a scoreless tie in the bottom of the 3rd. Milwaukee made it 2-1 in the 4th when Larry Hisle doubled home Cecil Cooper with nobody out. The Brew Crew failed to plate Hisle and tie the game thanks to Joe Nuxhall's stingy ways. "Nuxie" would stay stingy the rest of the way to close out the series in 6. Along the way the Reds offense shifted into high gear with 4 runs in the 6th and 3 in the 8th to make this a laugher. Brewer starter Lary Sorensen was victimized by his defense (2 errors) and then by the potent Red lineup. Sorensen gave up 6 runs (3 earned) on 12 hits in 7 innings. Bob McClure was the victim for the final 3 Red runs in the 8th that put the game totally out of reach and set off a love fest in Crosley field to the likes that the Queen City had not seen in decades. Gus Bell (4-5)
scored 2 runs and had 2 doubles. Frank Robinson (2-4) also scored 2
runs and had a solo blast, but the true hero this day was Big Klu, Ted
Kluszewski. The master ofthe sleeveless shirt was 3 for 4 with 4 RBI's, 2 runs scored and 2 tape measure homers.
