Kuenn Drives In Winner To Beal Pirates By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International National or American league pitchers all look alike to oblivious Harvey Kuenn, a guy who probably would come through with a base hit even if you woke him up in the middle of the night. Kuenn, owner of a .313 lifetime batting average, has made life miserable for American League pitchers during the past nine years. Now, in his first season with the San Francisco Giants, he’s already going to work on those poor pitchers in the National League. He picked on little Elroy Face, Pittsburgh’s ace reliever, Thursday. Kuenn lashed out with a 12th inning line single that scored rookie Ferrell Bowman with the run that gave the Giants a 6-5 victory over the world champion Pirates. Pays Dividend Ktienn’s game-winning blow represented the Giants’ first dividend on their winter deal with Cleveland in which they gave up Johnny Antonelli and Willie Kirkland to get him. “No matter what league Kuenn goes to. he’s a Cinch to hit .300,” said Frank Lane, at the time he made the deal for Cleveland. Lane has since moved to Kansas City but what he said about Kuenn still goes. The 31-year-old ex-American League batting champion. now playing third base for the Giants, has hit safely in all three games they have played so far. Rookie Jim Duffalo, who had walked Dick Groat with the bases full in the 11th to put Pittsburgh ahead, 5-4, started the winning 12th inning rally with a double and was credited with his first major league victory. Bowman ran for Duffalo and reached third on Felipe Alou’s infield single. Kuenn did the rest. H«mer Ties Ycore The Giants tied the score at 5-5 in their half ctf the 11th on jHobie Landrith’s homer off Face. lEd Bressoud hit a three-run homier off Pirate starter Harvey Haddix in the fourth. In other National League games the Philadelphia Phillies handed the Los Angeles Dodgers their 'first loss of the season, 8-7; the .Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-2. and the Milwaukee ; Braves defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4. in 11 innings. . i Inclement weather put a damper on all five American League ;games scheduled.
