Wally Post had 4 hits and 5 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Kansas
City Athletics in 15 innings by a score of 8 to 6 at Municipal Stadium.
The game was deadlocked at 6 after nine full innings. Finally, Pittsburgh
prevailed in the 15th inning. Yogi Berra led off and he singled. Post
stepped into the batter's box and he doubled driving in a run. After an out
was recorded, Hector Lopez then lined a base-hit scoring the final run of the
inning. A wild affair, this game saw the lead change 5 times.
Dick Donovan(5-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 4 innings and allowing
no runs. Johnny Antonelli(8-17) absorbed the loss in relief.
'I didn't feel that good when I came to the park today,' Post said. 'I'm glad
I decided to play!'
