Bob Buhl blanked Pittsburgh in a very well-pitched complete game and Eddie
Mathews ripped 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Milwaukee Braves smashed the
overmatched Pittsburgh Pirates, 11 to 0.
Mathews was unconscious all day. The Pittsburgh fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He cleared
the fences for a two-run home run in the 2nd inning and lost the ball over
the fence for three runs (his 16th of the season) in the 3rd inning.
Milwaukee managed 14 in their victory.
Buhl(6-2) was credited with the shutout. The losing pitcher was Max
Surkont(4-6). He pitched 2/3 of an inning allowing 3 hits and 2 walks.
