Chiefs Bang Out 7-2 Win Versus Pittsburgh
Joe Cipolla, who finished 4th in the FA in strikeouts with 186 in 1959, was locked in. The right-hander led the Chicago Chiefs to a 7-2 win against the Pittsburgh Miners at Fitzpatrick Park. Pittsburgh falls to 13-9.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Al Padgett? The Chicago catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Chiefs on top, 3-0. For the game, Padgett had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Joe made some big pitches when he needed to," said Chiefs manager Dutch Becker.
