1960 Pittsburgh Pirates Replay

April 20. Gm# 7 Forbes Field Pittsburgh 3 Philadelphia 1

PIRATES USE SIMILAR FORMULA TO BEAT PHILLIES AGAIN

Yesterday, Vern Law pitched a shutout and Bill Virdon hit a three run homer to beat Philadelphia.

Today, they nearly duplicated that feat. Bob Friend(2-0) won the game, just missing out on the whitewash when he allowed a run in the top of the ninth inning. And this time, Bob Skinner(2) hit the three run clout. In any case, Pittsburgh beat the Phillies, 3-1.

The series concludes today, with Art Mahaffey against Vinegar Bend Mizzell.

Other National League scores: Cincinnnati 10 Milwaukee 5; San Francisco 1 Los Angeles 0; Only games scheduled.
