Cardinals 6, Pirates 1  (74-54)

Bill Sherdel was phenomonal in the first game of the Cardinals doubleheader with the Pirates.  He gave up only one run in the fourth inning and the Pirates were able to get only seven hits off him the entire game.  He walked none and struck out one.

Les Bell had a huge game with the bat.  He had three hits, including a homerun.  Chick Hafey had two singles and he scored twice in the win.

Cardinals 2, Pirates 1  (75-54)

The second game of the double header was a carbon copy of the first for the Cardinals, at least on the pitching side.  Allen Sothoron gave up only a single run (also in the fourth inning) on six hits.  Only this time, the Cards didn’t score quite as many runs.  In the Pirates had the lead until the Cardinals scored two runs in the seventh inning.

Tommy Thevenow had two hits and Hafey singled and scored a run in the win.
