In a good matchup it was the Washington Nationals 10, the Pittsburgh Pirates 8
at Griffith Stadium.

4 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Gus Bell who brought a roar
from the partisan Griffith Stadium fans when he launched a Grand Slam
homerun. Washington and Pittsburgh each finished the afternoon with 12 hits.
The win went to Murry Dickson(4-3) who allowed 4 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings.
Fritz Dorish recorded the save, his 4th. Bob Friend(3-2) was hit with the
loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 7 hits and 2 walks in
4 and 1/3 innings.
