62 Yankees 10 62 Pirates 0


(Schenectady, NY - August 31) - Yankees 10 Pirates 0
On a perfect nite for baseball, the Yankees (9-4) were hosted by the Pirates (4-7) at the A-Diamond.
Starting Pitchers Pete Gianellis (Pinstripers) and Jimmie Dalton (Buccos) got locked into a pitchers duel, each untouched through 4 innings, with Gianellis flirting with a no-no, and Dalton nicked for an unearned tally in the 4th. Gianellis mastery continued through 1-out in the 6th, until Howard Becker ripped a double in the CF alley. Pete G. settled back in working around a base on balls, and getting
a punch-out to escape damage. Dalton, wild in the zone all nite started to labor, and back to back single, a wild pitch and an error produced 2 more unearned, and staked the Yankees to a 3-0 advantage. With consecutive singles by Wil Ferguson and Gianellis (1-3, a run and rbi to aid his own cause) to open the 6th, the Pirates turned to Bill Farrell who got paper-cut on 3 consecutive singles and only one ball in his 2/3rds of inning worked leaving the infield, as the Yankees tacked on to the tune of 8-0 after 6. Gianellis was in complete control all evening, and shut the door on the Bucs. After a
Cos DiBari single dropped into left, and an error, Pete G. got a nice double play ball to Tim Brown at 2nd to end the game. Gianellis faced only two over the minimum in twirling a gem, with the 2-hit shut-out! Tony Nardacci and Jim Konstantakis were like an iron curtain, as nothing got through the left side, on 11 chances of the 21 outs! Steve Van Gelder led the Yankees hit parade with 3 singles, and 2 apiece from Brown and Paul Cerone showed the way. Wil Freguson was on base in all four trips and scored 2 runs.
