Cardinals Reel Off Another Win
The game between St. Louis and Pittsburgh is in the books, despite a little rain.

The St. Louis Cardinals downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-6, at Forbes Field. The Cardinals were led by Bill Dickey. Dickey went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs. Fred Hutchinson got the win, improving to 2-1. He worked 8 innings, giving up 6 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. Allie Reynolds wrapped it up, recording his 1st save.

Frank McCormick had a key at-bat with one out in the top of the eighth for St. Louis. With the bases loaded and the Cardinals leading 7-6, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"We maximized our offense today," said St. Louis skipper Eddie Dyer. "That makes everyone's life easier."

The victory makes St. Louis 6-4.
