on a hot, sultry night at cba (and presumably elsewhere in the capital district), with flashes of lightning in the distance and strong winds turning the infield into periodic duststorms, the yankees and pirates nonetheless got a game in and the yankees prevailed.
gerry solomon pitched sharply, throwing a 4-hit shutout, with 6 strikeouts and only one walk - though the peppers put pressure on at the end, loading the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the seventh. but gerry, his heater and the yankees errorless defense did the trick.
