WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Andy Pafko robbed Mickey Vernon of an extra base hit.

Billy Pierce took a no-hitter into the 6th inning as the sizzling Pittsburgh
Pirates defeated the dreadful Washington Nationals 2 to 0 at Forbes
Field.

Pierce(9-6) was simply too much for the Washington batters.  He gave up just 3
hits and no walks in 9 innings.  The left-handed Pierce lost a no-hitter when
Bobby Young singled with one out in the 6th inning.  Pittsburgh had just 4
hits for the afternoon.  

Duane Pillette(1-1) was given the loss.  He surrendered 4 hits and 3 walks in
8 innings.  Pittsburgh continued their winning ways, with their streak now at
7 games and counting. 'I'm glad to get the win', Pierce said.  'We've got
some good momentum going now.'
