Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cleveland Indians by the score of 9 to
6.

Pittsburgh brought 6 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 2nd inning
when they had 7 base hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Yogi Berra
who elicited a roar from the hometown fans when he smacked a single bringing
home two baserunners.  Pittsburgh had 14 hits for the afternoon.  

Billy Pierce(1-2) got credit for the victory, pitching 5 innings and allowing
4 runs. Frank Smith earned the save, his 2nd.  George Zuverink(2-1) suffered
the loss.
