Pirates Clinch Playoff Bid On Eddie Moore Homer
Eddie Moore belted a fifth inning home run to spark the Pirates to a 3 2 victory over the Senators, tying the series at three games apiece and forcing a decisive seventh game as 44 000 fans roared in Pittsburgh. Ray Kremer pitched well and Pittsburgh's defense rose to the occasion. Joe Harris could have tied it with a ninth inning homer but was out by a foot. Walter Johnson carries Washington into the final clash with help from Dutch Reuther and a restocked bullpen. The Senators also faced lineup questions with Lee Meadows sidelined and Morrison and Oldham in the mix for Game seven.
