Bill Skowron ripped a bases loaded blast and Billy Pierce delivered 5 solid
innings at Forbes Field as the Pittsburgh Pirates embarrassed the Washington
Nationals by the lopsided score of 15 to 1.
Skowron had a good evening at the plate. He stroked a base-hit in the 1st
inning, doubled in the 3rd inning and emptied the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun in the 5th inning. Pittsburgh provided plenty of action in the 3rd
inning which saw them plate 4 runs on 4 hits and the 5th inning scoring 4
runs. For the game Pittsburgh out-hit Washington 19 to 6.
Pierce(13-4) got the win allowing no runs in 5 innings. Dick Donovan preserved
the game for Pierce, recording his his 10th save. Warren Spahn(15-9) ended
up with the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 9 hits and
2 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.
Wth the win Pittsburgh now has a record of 73-57. With the loss, the
Washington ballclub's record is 64-62.
