Yankees now lead 3-0

[Bill Simon]

No miracle in the bottom of the 11th...can the Pirates pull off a miracle down 3-0?

Babe Ruth had 3 base hits and 2 RBI and Whitey Ford delivered 7 solid innings as the New York AL Yankees beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in 11 innings by a score of 7 to 2. Both teams had scored 1 runs after nine full innings. New York AL won the game in the 11th inning. The critical plate appearance was by Roger Maris who silenced the stadium when he doubled with all three runners coming home. New York AL ended up with 14 hits for the game while Pittsburgh had 6. Spud Chandler(1-0) allowed no runs in 2/3 of an inning, and picked up the victory. The losing pitcher was Kent Tekulve(0-1) in relief. He was a hard-luck loser, pitching 1 inning and not allowing an earned run.
