Shearer, Chiefs Rough Up Miners, 11-2
Chicago right fielder Rod Shearer helped his team beat the Pittsburgh Miners, 11-2. Shearer, who finished 4th in the FA in runs with 93 in 1952, went 3 for 5 for the Chiefs. The winning pitcher was 33-year old right-handed pitcher Mel Haynes. He tossed 122 pitches over 7.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits. Chicago goes to 52-60, Pittsburgh to 58-53.

The Chiefs benefited from a miscue in the bottom of the fourth inning. Chicago was leading 1-0 when Mel Haynes hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put the Chiefs up, 3-0.

Pittsburgh manager Jim Adams Sr. called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."
