The A's came into this game brimming with confidence after having taken the first 2 games of the series and sending their ace Lefty Grove to the mound in this game. Things started well for Philadelphia as they scored 3 in the 1st on the strength of Al Simmons 13th homerun of the year. They added 2 more in the 4th. But the Dodgers kept hanging around and it was 5-4 A's after 5 innings. But lightening finally struck for Brookly in the 6th as they scored 6 behind the homerun hitting of Roy Campanella. The Dodgers held on from that point for the win. Ralph Branca (6-4, 3.22) got the win while Lefty Grove (10-4, 2.40) took the loss. MVP honors went to Roy Campanella.--submitted by Lee Crouch--
