Second baseman Hank Thompson went deep as the streaking New York Yankees defeated the ice-cold Pittsburgh Pirates in 10 innings by the score of 3 to 1 at Forbes Field. Both teams had scored 1 runs after nine full innings. New York ended up winning it in the 10th inning. Thompson jump-started the scoring when he lofted a solo-blast 'downtown'. Two outs later Marv Rickert came up and he ripped a base-hit, and an error was also committed. Ted Kluszewski then singled scoring the final run of the inning. Both teams finished the game with 10 hits. Ted Gray(2-1) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. Eddie Erautt(1-1) was given the loss in relief. New York extended their winning streak to 7 games. Andy Spector was upset but philosophical about the loss. 'Sometimes you run into a team that's on a roll. This was one of those times.'
