TEAM RISP- Pirates: 5 for 12 Red Sox: 6 for 14
In a thriller the Pittsburgh Pirates staged a dramatic comeback then held on
to win over the Boston Red Sox by a score of 10 to 8 at Fenway
Park.
Pittsburgh erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning when they
scored 6 runs on 5 hits. The big moment was provided by Hank Sauer who
deflated the crowd as he stroked a base-hit bringing in two baserunners.
Overall Pittsburgh out-hit Boston 12 to 9.
Early Wynn(5-2) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1 inning. Joe Page
recorded his 16th save. Jack Banta(10-5) was tagged with the loss in relief.
By surrending 3 runs without retiring a batter his ERA jumped from 2.88 to
3.18.
'We just kept swinging the bats and didn't give up,' Dale Mitchell said. 'If
you just keep trying good things can happen!'
