The Braves made quick work of this battle for the beer and cheese, outscoring the Brewers 23-12 over the five games. Joe Adcock by himself hit as many homers as the entire Brewers team.

Warren Spahn went the distance in the opener, played in 1961's County Stadium. Domingo Santana homered in the first for the Brew Crew, but Adcock hit a two-run homer off Kyle Davies in the fourth, and that concluded the scoring. Spahn allowed four hits and one walk.

The Brewers won the second game in extra innings, with pinch-hitter Eric Sogard leading off the top of the 10th with a base hit and eventually scoring on Travis Shaw's fly ball. The Brewers got four scoreless innings from relievers Jared Hughes, Josh Hader and Corey Knebel after Matt Garza went six innings, allowing two runs on four hits. Lew Burdette went nine innings for the Braves and allowed the tying homer to Santana in the eighth.

The series moved forward 56 years and a few hundred feet east to Miller Park for Game Three. The Braves started Bob Buhl, but hit for him after four innings. Pinch-hitter Mack Jones delivered a two-run, game-tying double, and Tony Cloninger and Bob Hendley followed with two scoreless innings apiece. Meanwhile. Joe Adcock hit three homers to give the Braves a 9-3 lead. The Brewers plated three runs off Claude Raymond and Moe Drabowsky before Don McMahon entered with two on and two outs in the ninth to get the final out.

Hank Aaron and Lee Maye hit homers in Game Four, and Carl Willey went six innings for the win. Don Nottebart allowed one hit in three innings for the save.

Spahn wrapped up the series with another complete game in Game Five, allowing an unearned run on four hits and three walks. Joe Torre's three-run homer in the seventh provided plenty of breathing room.

Player of the series: Warren Spahn
