Third baseman Bob Elliott hit for the cycle and had 4 RBI as the Boston Braves
defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 9 to 4 at Braves Field.
 
Elliott had a big day at the plate.  He doubled in the 4th inning, rifled a
three-run blast (his 1st of the season) in the 5th inning, tripled in the 7th
inning and delivered a one-base hit bringing in a run in the 8th inning.
Boston had 14 hits for the afternoon while Philadelphia had 10.  
 
John Antonelli(1-0) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 8 and 2/3 innings. Robin
Roberts(0-2) was the losing pitcher.  He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 14 hits and 2 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.  
 
'Elliott led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,'
Antonelli said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my
team.'
