TEAM RISP- Nationals: 7 for 16 Pirates: 3 for 17
Joe Dimaggio launched 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Forbes Field as the
Washington Nationals pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the awful
Pittsburgh Pirates by the count of 13 to 6.
Washington put a big number on the board in the 9th inning, which proved too
much for Pittsburgh to overcome as they ripped Pittsburgh for 8 runs on 7
hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Dimaggio who silenced Forbes
Field as he lofted a three-run bomb. For the game Washington out-hit
Pittsburgh 18 to 12.
The win was credited to Lou Brissie(4-7) who went 1 and 2/3 innings allowing
no runs. Vic Lombardi(2-6) was the losing pitcher in relief.
Gordy Renaud was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last
at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there?
You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead. But, hey, that's what
makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over
'til its over.'
