16,474 fans were treated to a fine game at Wrigley Field as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end. The Pittsburgh Pirates won by the
slimmest of margins, 5 to 4.
Pittsburgh had 2 runs cross the plate in the 7th inning. The critical plate
appearance was by Al Dark who deflated the crowd as he smacked a single
scoring two baserunners. Chicago-NL made it exciting in the 9th, but they
were unable to push the needed runs across.
The win was credited to Ewell Blackwell(5-2) who went 7 innings allowing 4
runs. Blackwell got relief help from Bubba Church who gained credit for his
6th save. Vic Raschi(2-2) was charged with the loss.
'Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals' said Ron Mead after the game. 'We
lost this game today because we didn't follow the instructions every Little
Leaguer hears every day.'
