First Meeting in 1948

April 19

Monday, April 19

Pittsburgh 7, Cincinnati 3

Two homers in the 9th broke a tie game in favor of the visitors. A back-and-forth game was decisively decided when Monty Basgall led off the final frame with a solo shot and then Ralph Kiner sealed the deal with a three-run homer. Kiner had been 0-for-4 until this breakthrough to pick up right where he left off in 1947. Basgall ended the game with three hits and three total RBIs in his major league debut.
