WEB GEMS- Bot 9th: Roy McMillan robbed Al Dark of a base hit.

First baseman Al Rosen slammed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Brooklyn
Dodgers bested the Pittsburgh Pirates 7 to 4 at Forbes Field.

Rosen provided much of the offense.  He lost the ball over the fence for three
runs in the 7th inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 9th
inning.  Jim Konstanty was perfect in relief and gained credit for his 2nd
save.  

The victory was credited to Larry Jansen(1-3) who went 7 innings, allowing 4
runs. Eddie Lopat(2-3) was tagged with the loss.  The Brooklyn ballclub's
record now stands at 10-13.  With the loss, the Pittsburgh ballclub's record
is 14-13.
