Dark helped send the fans home happy. He lifted one out of the park for a two run home run in the 2nd inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 4th inning. New York-AL threatened in the 9th but Pittsburgh was able to put down the rally. Eddie Lopat(6-5) went 6 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Lopat got relief help from Ellis Kinder who gained credit for his 14th save. Marion Fricano(5-8) was the loser. He served up 3 homeruns in his 6 innings.
