Roberto Clemente beats Juan Pizarro once again; Clemente’s 9th-inning, 400-footer puts Pittsburgh ahead of first-place Milwaukee, 4 – 3. In so doing, he not only brings last year’s cellar dwellers to within six games of first place, but also foils his fellow Puerto Rican yet again. Red Thisted of the Milwaukee Sentinel reports: “The sleepy engagement dragged along in the later innings with neither team making a move until Clemente laid into a Pizarro pitch in the final frame and rode the ball over the left centerfield wire.”
