Jim Bunning whiffed 15 batters as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the
Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 7 to 0.
 
Bunning(8-8) was virtually untouchable.  He gave up just 5 hits and 3 walks in
9 innings improving his ERA from 3.45 to 3.22.  Philadelphia finished with 10
hits in the victory.  
 
Bob Veale(12-4) was hit with the loss.  When asked about his strikeout total
for the game, Bunning offered, 'The fan's really got into it.  It is fun to
see them tally up the strikeout totals up there in the stands.  Fortunately,
I kept them busy tonight - of course, it would be all for naught without the
'W'.'
