1949 Pittsburgh Pirates Replay

May 14. Gm# 24 Forbes Field St. Louis 7 Pittsburgh 1

CARDINALS POUND PIRATES, 7-1

Red Schoendiest had three hits and Jim Northey homered, but it was the season high, 11 walks that really put the Pirates behind the eight ball, in a 7-1 loss to St. Louis.

One day after Harry Breechen’s near no hitter, the Cardinals’ Howie Polett limited the Bucs to just five hits in a complete game win.

Polett missed his shutout bid when Pittsburgh scratched out a run in the eighth inning.

Losing pitcher, Bob Chesnes(1-3) lasted only 3.1 innings.
