WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Bobby Hofman robbed Johnny O'Brien of a base hit.

Don Mueller had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the New
York-AL Yankees by a score of 12 to 3 at Forbes Field.

The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Mueller.  He stroked a base-hit in the 1st inning, tripled
scoring a run in the 2nd inning, banged out a single in the 4th inning and
tripled scoring two baserunners in the 5th inning.  The Pittsburgh offense
poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings.  

The winning pitcher was Billy Pierce(3-0) who allowed 1 run in 5 innings. Art
Fowler(1-6) absorbed the loss.  Pittsburgh knocked him around a bit, as he
gave up 12 runs in 8 innings.
