HODGES RAPS OUT FOUR HITS, DRIVES IN FOUR, DODGERS
CRUISE TO EASY WIN
Gil
Hodges rapped out his first four hits of the Series, including a three-run
homerun, and Johnny Podres shut out the Yankees into
the eighth inning,
pacing the Dodgers to an easy 10-3 drubbing over the Yankees.
The Dodgers
managed their first win of the series thanks in large part to three things. Hodges was tops on that list with his four-hit day that drove
in four runs, and reminded the Yankees of how dangerous he can be, and was in
last season’s World Series (3 HR, 12 RBI in 5 G). Then
Johnny Podres did what no other starter had done yet,
stifle the Yankee offense after given a lead. Podres allowed only one runner to reach scoring
position through the first seven innings before the Yankees finally got to him
for a pair of runs in the eighth when
the game was already out of reach. Lastly, there was the subtle
change in the lineup, Don Hoak replaced the hitless
Jackie Robinson at third base, and responded with an RBI-double that brought
home the Dodgers’ first run, a lead the team would not relinquish this time
around.
The Dodgers
had themselves a win, the backing of their home crowd, and a reason to look
forward in Game Four.
