Pirates Falter In Two Tilts In Preseason Action
In Bradenton the Pirates were beaten 8 to 3 by the Detroit Tigers as pitching woes and lack of timely hitting haunted the club. Bob Johnson lasted two innings, surrendering a homer to Jim Northrup and four runs on six hits while the Pirates managed only five hits, including a Richie Hebner homer. Ex-Pirate Dick Sharon homered off Brad Gratz in the ninth. The loss followed earlier tough work by the staff, with manager Ball Virdon noting the pitchers are prone to fastballs and hitters can adjust. The team, hosting Minnesota Twins next, continues to search for offense and consistency.
