Al Dark knocked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the
New York-AL Yankees by a score of 5 to 3 at Forbes Field.

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.
