Cardinals 3, Pirates 2 (3-1)
The Cardinals came from behind to beat the Pirates and they won their four game series over the defending world champs. With the Cardinals down 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth and with the bases loaded, Ray Blades was hit by a pitch and drove home the tying run and then Jake Flowers scored the winning run on Heinie Mueller’s single.
Syl Johnson threw eight solid innings but didn’t get the decision. He gave up four hits and three walks. Allen Sothoron picked up the win and pitched a perfect ninth inning.
