Pittsburgh’s three-run 3rd is all Vernon Law needs to salvage a split in today’s twin bill with Philadelphia. But his six-hit, complete-game victory is something of an anticlimax to the Forbes Field faithful. The most exciting moment today comes in a losing cause in the opener, courtesy of Roberto Clemente, who produces one of his trademark tape-measure triples. “The only Pirate run in the first game was a gift,” maintains Les Biederman of the Pittsburgh Press. “Clemente tripled to the batting cage with none out in the 6th inning and the Phils gave up the run to throw out Dick Cole.”

Pittsburgh’s right fielder Roberto Clemente pounds Dodger pitching in the opener of a twin bill split, doing most of his damage against former Montreal Royals teammate Ed Roebuck. “Eddie was celebrating his 24th bithday,” reports Jack Hernon of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, “but Roberto Clemente apparently didn’t know about it. The Buc rookie belted him for two triples, scoring the tying run on the first one in the 4th and driving home the run Ron Kline needed in the 5th.”
