Oscar Charleston knocked in 3 runs to help Indianapolis beat Houston, 9-8. The center fielder collected 2 singles, 1 double, and 1 home run. The second-place ABCs improved to 75-77.

The decisive blow was delivered by Johnny Bench in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 29-year old left-handed pitcher Sparky Lyle to win the game for Indianapolis. The home crowd went nuts.

"That was high adrenalin and it was fun," Bench said.
