WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Sam Mele robbed Doc Glenn of an extra base hit.

The hometown crowd was rewarded with a dramatic ending, as the Pittsburgh
Bichipoos staged a comeback win over the lifeless Sterling Silver Sluggers by
the count of 4 to 3.

Pittsburgh had the winning rally in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs utilizing 3
base hits.  Buddy Blattner led off and started the rally when he stroked a
one-base hit, and an error was also committed.  Joe Gordon next to the plate
and he drew a walk.  Joe B. Scott then laid down a sacrifice bunt.  Cliff
Mapes followed and he delivered a single scoring a run.  Sid Hudson came up
to bat and worked the squeeze play to perfection bringing in another run.
Eddie Kazak continued the rally and drew a walk.  Sam Hairston stepped into
the batter's box and he stroked a base-hit giving Pittsburgh the victory as
43,959 happy fans celebrated wildly.  Pittsburgh managed 8 hits in their
victory.  

Al Benton(10-9) was the winner allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Vic
Lombardi(0-4) was hit with the loss in relief.  'What a win!', Benton said.
'These are the kind of games that stand out in your mind at the end of a
season.'
