Honored just eight hours ago at a Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce luncheon as the Pirates’ leading hitter, Roberto Clemente continues to earn his laurels, leading the Bucs to a 6 – 2 win over Chicago with four RBI on three shots, all launched in the same direction: a long sacrifice fly to left center, an even longer triple off the wall, and one longer still into Schenley Park. The 1st-inning RBI triple ties the score at one all; Clemente scores the go-ahead tally on Dale Long’s sac fly, and the Bucs never look back.
