Day game
BRO: Don Newcombe - Grade B-XZ

Much like Game 1, scoring was at a premium through the first 6 innings, while both pitchers kept the base paths vacant. It would not be until the top of the 7th until the game started to shape up.
Top of the 7th, Duke Snider smacked a grounder to Yankee third baseman Gil McDougald, who ended up booting the ball (E-5). Roy Campanella would follow Snider with a single to right, advancing Snider to third. Carl Furillo would take advantage of a off-speed pitch, sending the ball over Elston Howard's head into the left field stands. Pinch-hitter Frank Kellert added a RBI single before the inning was over. Dodgers lead 4-0.
The Dodgers would add two more runs during the top of the 9th. Gil Hodges led the inning off with a double off Yankees reliever Rip Coleman, while Jackie Robinson drew his 6th walk of the young series. Sandy Amoros' single loaded up the bases for the Dodgers, which Dodgers pitcher Billy Loes would drive in a run on a fielder's choice, and Jim Gilliam's sac fly RBI made it 6-0 Dodgers.
Loes would go the distance for the Dodgers, and although he allowed 5 walks, he allowed only 4 walks, while shutting out the Yankees.
Series tied 1-1.
