Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 9 to 0 at Colt Stadium.
Houston jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring a single run
using 3 hits. Bob Lillis singled. Al Spangler stepped up next and he laid
down a sacrifice bunt. Norm Larker then banged out a single. One out later,
Campbell stepped in and he slapped a one-base hit scoring the run. That
early run support was enough for Farrell(11-4) and Houston. Houston had 16
hits for the afternoon.
Al McBean(2-14) ended up with the loss. He was unable to control the Houston
offense and allowed 10 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.
Pittsburgh's manager was obviously impressed with the pitching of Farrell,
'That guy made us look a little silly out there this afternoon. We just
couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him. I just hope
that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'
