He moved to second base when the next hitter, Bob Ramazzotti, also walked, then he was sacrifice bunted to third by Billy Herman. The next Dodger hitter, Pete Reiser, doubled to score both Davis and Ramazzotti, tying the game at four. The game went into extra innings, and Brooklyn won it in its half of the tenth frame, 5–4.[1]
