Sam Jones racked up an impressive total of 10 strikeouts at Wrigley Field

where the Chicago Cubs beat the league door-mat Pittsburgh Pirates by the

score of 5 to 3.

 

Jones(11-9) was in control of the game from the outset.  He didn't allow much,

just 6 hits and 5 walks in 9 innings.  Chicago banged out 9 on the afternoon.

 

Ron Kline(4-13) was hit with the loss.  He was knocked around pretty good,

giving up 5 runs in 3 and 2/3 innings.  Stan Hack was asked about the

performance of Jones, 'He had his good stuff out there this afternoon.  The

fans really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that

seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
