Don Mueller hit for the cycle and had 4 RBI and Larry Jansen struck out 12

batters as the New York Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 15

to 6.

 

Mueller was unconscious all evening.  The Pittsburgh fans hated to see him

approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He tripled

which scored a run in the 1st inning, blasted a solo shot in the 2nd inning,

doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 3rd inning, slapped a base-hit in

the 7th inning and smacked a single in the 9th inning.  New York provided

plenty of action in the 1st inning with 5 runs on 5 hits and the 3rd inning

when they had 4 runs on 4 hits.  New York finished with 21 hits in the

victory.  

 

Jansen(17-8) lasted until the end allowing 6 runs for the win. The loss was

charged to Vern Law(4-6).  Jansen was asked about his big strikeout

performance, 'Well, it's a little odd when you rack up these numbers on the

road - instead of cheers and a running tally in the stands, everything gets

real still and quiet.  Just strange - but it's nice to be able to take the

crowd out of the game.'
