WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Ferris Fain robbed Yogi Berra of a base hit.
Al Dark connected with a 'big fly' at Wrigely Field as the Pittsburgh Pirates
won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Chicago-NL Cubs by the count
of 6 to 4.
Pittsburgh came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning plating 3 runs on
3 base hits. After an out was recorded, Dark kicked off the action when he
doubled. Don Mueller came to the plate and was walked intentionally. Monte
Irvin then delivered a one-base hit scoring a run. Irvin took second on the
throw. Red Schoendienst followed next and he stroked a base-hit as two more
runners crossed the plate. Ellis Kinder was perfect in relief and gained
credit for his 11th save.
The win went to Ned Garver(4-3) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Tom
Gorman(0-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. 'We just kept swinging the
bats and didn't give up,' Dark said. 'If you just keep trying good things can
happen!'
