The Gas House Gang

July 3, 1926 at Forbes Field
Pirates 12, Cardinals 3  (39-33)

The Cardinals lost their third straight and were blown out by the defending champs.  The Pirates jumped all over Hi Bell, and by the end of the fourth inning in which the Pirates scored eight, the score was 10-2.

The Cardinals scattered three runs in three different innings and no hitter had more then one hit.  The loss put the Cardinals four games back of the first place Reds heading into a three game series in Cincinnati.
