Ewell Blackwell racked up an impressive total of 10 strikeouts and Mickey
Vernon smacked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at Griffith Stadium as the Pittsburgh
Pirates beat the Washington Nationals by the count of 4 to 3.

Vernon was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day
at their team's expense.  He blasted a solo shot in the 1st inning and
clubbed a two-run home run in the 6th inning.  Pittsburgh managed only 5 hits
on the afternoon.  

The win went to Blackwell(9-2) who allowed 3 runs in the game. Warren
Spahn(4-6) was the loser.  He allowed 3 homeruns in 5 and 1/3 innings of
work.  

Blackwell was asked about his big strikeout performance, 'Well, it's a little
odd when you rack up these numbers on the road - instead of cheers and a
running tally in the stands, everything gets real still and quiet.  Just
strange - but it's nice to be able to take the crowd out of the game.'
