| Keystones Lose 5-2 Decision to Chicago | Rod Shearer made an impact in the 5-2 Chicago win over Philadelphia. Shearer, who finished 2nd in the FA in home runs with 34 in 1952, went 3-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. George Brown earned the save for Chicago, his 1st of the year. Chicago, at 63-71, holds down 4th place in the Federal Association.
The Chiefs got a big at-bat from catcher Milt Jenks. For the game, Jenks was 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season gave Chicago a 4-2 lead.
"Banging out wins is what it's all about," said Shearer.
