April 22, 1926 at Forbes Field

Cardinals 5, Pirates 3  (6-3)

The Cardinals seemed to have the Pirates number regardless of where they played.  35,000 Pirates fans showed up for the defending champs’ home opener only to see the home team lose in extra frames.

Chick Hafey had the winning hit.  His two run homerun in the top of the tenth gave the Cardinals the lead.  Rogers Hornsby had two singles and he scored a run.

Vic Keen picked up the win and threw all ten innings.  He gave up ten hits and two walks.
