The Cleveland Indians came roaring back in the top of the ninth to spoil the
anticipated celebration of the hometown fans. The final score,, was 13 to
10.
The Pittsburgh fans didn't appreciate the big day Roberto Clemente had. He
tripled which scored a run in the 3rd inning, smashed a solo-shot out of the
park in the 6th inning and doubled in the 9th inning. Pittsburgh was not
lacking for run support as they scored in 5 separate innings, yet victory
eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is also needed to win
ballgames.
The victory was credited to Billy Hoeft(2-4) who went 5 innings, allowing 4
runs. Billy Pierce(1-5) was tagged with the loss. He allowed Cleveland 9
runs in 5 and 1/3 innings of work.
