frame while holding the Indians
to only one more score.

with three hits in four times
at bat. Frank Halvorsen of the

and Larry Pettyjohn to tie the
game at 6-6 going into top of
the sixth. The Indians failed to
score and the Braves came up
to bat in the bottom of the
frame. The first man fanned
which brought Kent up, and he
put the third pitch over the
fence to win the game and end
up as winning pitcher, allowing
six runs on six hits, eight strike
outs, and no walks. Jim Swan
