Billy Pierce whitewashed Houston on 3 hits at Colt Stadium as the San

Francisco Giants beat the Houston Colt 45's by the count of 2 to

0.

 

Pierce(3-1) escaped virtually unscathed against the Houston hitters.  He

didn't allow much, just 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings improving his ERA from

5.00 to 3.75.  Neither team managed to score after the 4th inning.  

 

The loss was charged to Dick Farrell(4-1).  He gave up just 2 runs and 5 hits

in 8 innings.  'Pierce was the man tonight,' San Francisco's manager said.

'He had just about every pitch working.'
