Dodgers win, earn series split with Pittsburgh

The Dodgers won the final 2 games of this 4-game series at Forbes Field, and now sit at 59-60.  Johnny Frederick was the star hitter of this one; he finished 4-for-5 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBI's.  Once again, the Dodgers trailed early, and once again they fought back to win this game.  Pittsburgh is a very tough foe and the Dodgers must feel fortunate to leave town with a split.

The Dodgers were trailing 4-3 when they batted in the 9th.  Al Lopez singled to start off the inning.  Then, pinch hitter Len Koenecke fouled out.  Buzz Boyle walked, ten Johnny Frederick hit a big 2-run double.  After an out was recorded, Sam Leslie walked, then Tony Cuccinello singled in another run.

The Pirates were able to get the tying run to the plate with 2 outs in the 9th, but hitter Gus Suhr fouled out to end the game.  Charlie Perkins gets the win in relief and Ownie Carroll gets the save.
