TEAM RISP- Indians: 1 for 7  Pirates: 4 for 11

Shortstop Al Dark had 3 base hits and Bob Friend had a complete game at Forbes
Field as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cleveland Indians 5 to
1.

Pittsburgh took the lead for keeps in the bottom of the 3rd inning when they
scored 2 runs on 3 hits.  That early run support was enough for Friend(5-3)
and Pittsburgh.  Both teams' bats went to sleep after the 4th inning with no
runs scored after that point.  

Vinegar Bend Mizell(4-2) was the loser.  He was knocked around, surrendering 5
runs in 4 innings.  With this win, Pittsburgh has a 24-23 record.  They have
been 3-7 lately.  With the loss Cleveland now has a record of 18-25.
