Sandy Koufax struck out 11 batters at Ball Club Grounds where the Hartford Dark Blues beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 4 to 2.
Koufax(1-0) looked very much in control throughout the day. He gave up just 7 hits and 5 walks in 9 innings. Both teams totaled 7 on the afternoon.
Vern Law(0-1) was charged with the loss. Koufax was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I had good zip on my pitches. Just as important, my location was right on. The fans really got into the game too - that always helps me. Now, if I can only do that again in my next outing.'
