Mickey Vernon cracked a homer and had 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates staged a
dramatic comeback over the slumping Cincinnati Reds by a score of 9 to 8 at
Forbes Field.
Pittsburgh won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning scoring 2
runs on 2 hits. Yogi Berra opened up the inning nicely when he delivered a
single. Bobby Thomson struck out, unable to help the rally. One out later,
Vernon then clubbed a two-run home run making Pittsburgh the victors to the
delight of the home town faithful. Cincinnati was out-hit by Pittsburgh, 13
hits to 10.
Chet Nichols(3-2) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 inning and allowing
no runs. The loss was charged to Russ Meyer(1-1) in relief.
Andy Spector 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!'
