The 1962 San Francisco Giants offense was finally held in check, as the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates got their revenge, winning 11-2 to even the series 1-1. Vern Law held the Giants to 2 runs on 6 hits, striking out 5 in a complete game victory. Meanwhile, the Pirates unloaded on every pitcher they faced. Rocky Nelson got things started with a solo home run in the 2nd inning. After a sacrifice fly in the 3rd, Pittsburgh scored 3 more runs in the 4th thanks to a pair of walks and 3 base hits. Bill Mazeroski led off the 6th with a solo homer, and Bill Virdon followed with a single, ending Juan Marichal’s night. A few batters later, Dick Stuart took Bobby Bolin deep for a 3-run homer. A pair of RBI singles off Gaylord Perry in the 8th and 9th finished the Giants off. Marichal allowed 7 runs on 10 hits in just 5 innings. Mazeroski finished 5 for 5 with 2 runs and 2 RBI. As the series heads to Pittsburgh, the Pirates have some hope against a San Francisco offense that has been relentless in the Tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
