The seemingly unstoppable Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Houston Astros in 11
innings at Three Rivers Stadium by the score of 4 to 3.
The game was deadlocked at 3 after nine full innings. Pittsburgh won the hard
fought contest in the 11th inning. Jay Bell ripped a base-knock. Bell stole
second with some aggressive base running. Andy Van Slyke struck out, unable
to help the rally. Bobby Bonilla followed and he doubled giving Pittsburgh
the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. For the game Pittsburgh
out-hit Houston 14 to 9.
Bill Landrum(4-3) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. Jim
Corsi(2-2) ended up with the loss in relief. The winning ways continue for
Pittsburgh. They now have a record of 10-0 in recent days. With this loss,
Houston has a 3-7 record of late, 30-58, worst in the division overall.
