Third baseman Richie Hebner had 3 base hits at Oakland Co Stadium as the
Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Oakland A's in 17 innings by the count of 1 to
0.
The game was a scoreless tie after nine. Pittsburgh won the hard fought
contest in the 17th inning. Hebner stroked a one-base hit. Joe Horlen then
uncorked a wild pitch. After an out was recorded, Rennie Stennett came to
bat and lined a base-hit. Stennett took second on the throw. After another
out, Horlen stepped in and he fired a sharp breaking ball that appeared to
cross-up the catcher. In any event, it got by him and was ruled a passed
ball but Stennett ended up stranded at 3rd. Both teams finished the game with
11 hits.
The victory was credited to Bob Johnson(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Bob Miller was credited with his 1st save. Horlen(0-1) ended up with
the loss in relief.
