Ernie Broglio tossed a complete game at Forbes Field as the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 11 to 2.
 
Curt Flood was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he
provided much of the offense for the visitors.  He cleared the bases with a
Grand Slam homerun in the 2nd inning and ripped a base-hit bringing in two
baserunners in the 4th inning.  St. Louis had 15 hits for the night.  
 
The victory was credited to Broglio(2-3) who went the distance, allowing 2
runs. Harvey Haddix(0-3) was hit with the loss.  He was knocked around,
surrendering 10 runs in 3 and 1/3 innings.
