The Giants take over first place with a 4 – 3 win over the Pirates behind the pitching of Big Jeff Tesreau and the favorable umpiring of Kitty Bransfield. Tesreau allows just two hits through eight innings before weakening in the 9th. Kitty makes an out call in the 9th on a grounder that 3B Doug Baird clearly appears to beat, and in the 2nd inning ignores Art Fletcher’s failure to return to third base before scoring on a sacrifice fly. Fletcher had taken a 15-foot lead.
