WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Jim Piersall robbed Dale Mitchell of an extra base hit.

Jim Piersall had 5 hits and 4 RBI at Forbes Field as the Philadelphia-AL
Athletics beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the count of 7 to
3.

Philadelphia-AL had 4 runs cross the plate in the 4th inning when they had 4
base hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Piersall who deflated the
crowd as he stroked a base-hit bringing in two baserunners.  Philadelphia-AL
ended up with 15 hits for the game while Pittsburgh had 8.  

Mike Garcia(5-2) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Billy
Pierce(3-2) was the loser.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 10 hits and 4
walks in 6 innings.
