WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Stan Bahnsen robbed Bill Robinson of a base hit.
Center fielder Bobby Murcer knocked 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI at Fenway Park as
the Pittsburgh Pirates belted the Boston Beaneaters by the count of 15 to 5.
Murcer was a source of great heartache for the Boston faithful all evening.
He just kept pounding out hits! He blasted a two-run home run in the 1st
inning, lined a single in the 3rd inning, smashed a two-run homer in the 5th
inning and delivered a base-hit scoring two baserunners in the 6th inning.
Pittsburgh bats were hot in the 1st inning with 4 runs on 4 hits. For the
game Pittsburgh out-hit Boston 15 to 11.
Lindy McDaniel(3-0) allowed 5 runs in 8 innings, and picked up the victory.
Wayne Twitchell(2-1) was hit with the loss. He was knocked around pretty
good, giving up 7 runs in 3 innings.
