...Pirates saved the most damaging error for their last hopeless stand. With three games already lost, they rallied to save themselves from the humiliation of four successive defeats and came into the ninth inning with the score tied at 3 to 3. This despite another home-run by Hitter Ruth. Batting in the ninth, the Yankees put three men on base with no one out. Then John Miljus, Pittsburgh pitcher, struck out Batters Gehrig and Meusel and had one strike on Batter Lazzeri.

Cutts '28 for four runs. J. N. Barbee '28 replaced Cutts, and a pinch hitter lined out a double, scoring the tying and winning runs...
