Yanks Win Series As Raschi, Page Top Dodgers, 10-6

The New York Yankees crashed through with 10 runs to the Brooklyn Dodgers' 6 to win the 1949 World Championship of baseball yesterday afternoon in Ebbets Field, four games to one.

The Yanks got their runs early, scoring in five of the first six innings with a display of powerful hitting that was reminiscent of the pre-war Bombers. They collected 11 hits, including Joe DiMaggio's solid home run, Bobby Brown's triple, and three doubles off six Flock pitchers. Rex Barney started and lost for the Dodgers.

Vic Raschi started for the Yankees in invincible fashion. He yielded a single run in the third, when the Yankees had a five run lead, and another in the sixth, when they were nine ahead.

But Vic got tired in the seventh. The Brooks blasted across four runs, capped off by Gil Hodges' three-run homer, to finish Raschi and bring in Joe Page. Joe gave them short shrift, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out four in two and one third innings to save Raschi's first victory of the series.

The Dodger pitchers, in order of appearance, were Barney, Jack Banta, Carl Erskine, Joe Hatten, Irv Palica, and Paul Minner.

The lights were turned on for the last of the ninth--the first time in major league history that a day game has finished under the arcs.
