WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Yogi Berra blocked the plate, saving a run!

Joe Adcock jacked one out of the ballyard and had 5 RBI as the Washington
Nationals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 12 to 10 at Griffith Stadium.

The Washington fans enjoyed the offense provided by Adcock.  He stroked a
base-hit which was good for two runs in the 1st inning and launched a
three-run homer in the 2nd inning.  Pittsburgh scored in 6 different innings,
but their shaky pitching kept them from victory.  

Joe Nuxhall(3-4) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Vinegar Bend
Mizell(0-2) ended up with the loss.  He gave up 8 runs in 2 innings of work.
