In a thriller the Cincinnati Reds staged a dramatic comeback over the
Pittsburgh Pirates winning by a score of 5 to 4 at Crosley Field.
Cincinnati scored the winning runs in the 9th inning when they scored 4 runs
on 2 hits. The highlight belonged to Ted Kluszewski who thrilled the crowd
when he electrified the crowd with a Grand Slam home run. Pittsburgh had 10
hits in the game while Cincinnati had 7, but Cincinnati had the more timely
hits.
Bob Chakales(2-0) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 2 innings. Moe
Drabowsky(2-3) absorbed the loss in relief. Rob Hickok was all smiles after
the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim there for a while, but our guys
never gave up - and neither did our fans - they kept cheering us on. What a
sweet win!'
