May 12. Gm#23 Ebbets Field. Brooklyn 8 Pittsburgh 1
KINER HOMERS; PIRATES LOSE
It’s beginning to look as if that might be the headline for the season, as lately, Ralph Kiner’s big stick has been the only thing Pirate fans have to cheer.
Brooklyn dispatched Pittsburgh 8-1, with Kiner’s(11) first inning solo blast, the Pirates lone run.
Carl Furillo had a single, double and triple; while Jackie Robinson had a home run. So ends a miserable 3-10 road trip for the Bucs.
National League scores: Cincinnati 3, New York 0; Philadelphia 4 Chicago 3; St. Louis-Boston Ppd.
