Quintan Lopez, who gets credit for winning the game, was forced to remain in the box from the sev- enth to the thirteenth stanza. Putting over a pair of runs in the first inning, the Stars kept the lead until the ninth frame roll- ed around, and with the score board reading 2-1, the Pirates put over the tieing tallie as Carbonell scored from second base by a sharp single to left from the bat of Henry Mayg, the Pirates second baseman, who never fails to come through in the pinches. were two men down at the time of the hit.
