Pirates Win 7-6 Nail-Biter Versus Cardinals
The Pittsburgh Pirates did just enough to nip the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-6, in 10 innings. Pittsburgh shortstop Vern Stephens, in particular, had a standout performance. The loss makes St. Louis 22-22.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Pittsburgh catcher Al Evans, facing Herman Besse, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Pirates the 7-6 win.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Stephens said.
