May 11 Gm #23 Ebbets Field Brooklyn 3 Pittsburgh 1

LONG BALL HURTS SEWELL IN 3-1 LOSS TO DODGERS

Rip Sewell(1-3) dropped this third straight decision, and once again, home runs were to blame.

This time it was Pee Wee Reese and Carl Furillio going deep against Rip, who has allowed four dingers over his last three starts.

Ralph Kiner(10) joined the fun, slamming a solo blast in the eighth.

National League scores: Boston 7 St. Louis 0; Cincinnati 4 New York 2; Chicago 4 Philadelphia 2.
