TEAM RISP- Reds: 1 for 9  Pirates: 2 for 6

Mickey Vernon had 2 base hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates outscored the
Cincinnati Reds 3 to 2.

Cincinnati was unable to recover after Pittsburgh went ahead in the bottom of
the 3rd inning plating an isolated run on 2 hits.  That early run support was
all that Billy Pierce(3-4) required.  Neither team managed to score after the
3rd inning.  

Pierce got help from Ellis Kinder who earned his 8th save. Warren Hacker(2-3)
was hit with the loss.  He gave up 7 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.
