After scoring once on a wild pitch, the Brewers added three runs on a bases-loaded double by Art Kusnyer and defeated the Red Sox, 6-2. Cecil Cooper and Carl Yastrzemski homered to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead before the Brewers erupted for all their runs in the seventh inning.

After the Brewers tied the score at 2-2 and had the bases loaded with two out, Tom House relieved Reggie Cleveland and uncorked a wild pitch to allow the deciding run to score. Charlie Moore then walked and Kusnyer cleared the sacks with his double to clinch the victory. [The Sporting News]
