Cubs Win Nail-Biter in 11
Pittsburgh center fielder Pat Miller had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Miller was 3-6 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 and driving in 3, even as Chicago beat the Pirates, 9-8. The win belonged to Noel Richards in relief. His record improves to 5-1. Charlie Maxwell took the loss for Pittsburgh. The setback makes Pittsburgh 85-64.

Chicago got a knockout punch from Ron Hicks. The center fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It's a satisfying feeling, to win like we did," said Hicks.
