Dale Long went yard and had 4 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the

floundering New York Giants by a score of 6 to 3 at Polo Grounds.

 

Long led the offense for Pittsburgh.  He cracked a solo homerun (his 20th of

the season) in the 2nd inning, lined a single bringing in two baserunners in

the 5th inning and hit a one-base hit scoring a run in the 9th inning.  Both

teams totaled 11 hits on the afternoon.  

 

Roy Face(8-7) got the win allowing 1 run in 5 innings. Dick Hall gained credit

for his 1st save.  Don Liddle(6-8) was tagged with the loss.
