Braves out-slug Dodgers for series win

Braves bats were simply too much for the Dodgers in this opening series, as the Brooklynites drop the rubber game, 7-4.  The Braves out-hit the Dodgers in the series, 31-23, and out-hit them in the finale 14-5.  The cold and rainy weather conditions throughout the series didn't seem to affect the boys from Boston's bats.

The Braves gained the lead for good in the 5th inning, plating 3 runs on 4 hits.  After two were out, Marty McManus (who had a big series) singled.  Wally Berger then doubled, and Pinky Whitney hit an RBI single.  Randy Moore walked, loading the bases.  With two outs and the bases loaded Shanty Hogan hit a two-run single.

Boston starter Huck Betts pitched a dominant game.  He allowed 2 earned runs in 7.1 innings, allowing 5 hits and 1 walk.  He did give up a Tony Cuccinello home run.  But really, Betts was quite strong throughout the game and the Dodgers had just 3 hits before the 8th inning.

The Dodgers will welcome the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game series starting tomorrow.
