Bobby Thomson smacked 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Washington Nationals
were badly beaten by the Pittsburgh Pirates, 16 to 2.

The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Thomson.  He delivered a solo blast in the 3rd inning and clubbed
a three-run home run in the 4th inning.  Pittsburgh provided plenty of action
in the 4th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 7 hits and the 6th inning
which saw them score 5 runs on 7 hits.  Pittsburgh simply wore out the
Washington pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings.  

Early Wynn(7-5) allowed 2 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. Bob
Friend preserved the game for Wynn, recording his his 2nd save.  The loss was
charged to Bob Feller(4-7).  He surrended 4 homeruns in his 4 and 2/3
innings.
