The Gas House Gang

April 24, 1926 at Forbes Field 

Cardinals 9, Pirates 3  (7-4)

The Cardinals won their second straight series against the defending World Series champs and they ran the score up in the process.  Pirates starter Ray Kremer only lasted one inning and the Cardinals scored four runs in the top of first inning.

Rogers Hornsby led the way.  He went three for three with a double, a homerun, two runs and a walk.  Flint Rhem not only threw a nice game but he had three singles and he scored twice.

Rhem went the distance and he gave up only three runs on four hits.  He walked three and struck out two.
