WEB GEMS- Bot 9th: Eddie O'Brien robbed Wally Post of a Homerun!

 

Cincinnati Redlegs won a dramatic crowd-pleaser over Pittsburgh Pirates at

Crosley Field pulling it out in their last at bats, 7 to 6.

 

The game was won by Cincinnati with a run in the 9th inning.  Bob Thurman

doubled.  Ted Kluszewski was next and he hit a single.  Wally Post then hit a

deep fly giving Cincinnati the win much to the delight of the home town

crowd.  This was a game of many highs and lows for the home town fans, as the

lead kept changing - 5 times in all.  

 

Hersh Freeman(5-3) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 2 and 1/3

innings. The loss was charged to Bob Friend(7-9) in relief.  He pitched 1 and

1/3 innings and surrendered 3 hits and no walks.
