Willie Stargell knocked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates
beat the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 15 to 9.
 
Stargell was a source of great heartache for the Cincinnati faithful all
evening.  He just kept pounding out hits! He lofted a three-run 'big-fly' in
the 1st inning, doubled knocking in a run in the 3rd inning, smashed a
bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 5th inning and doubled in the 8th inning.
Pittsburgh provided plenty of action in the 3rd inning which saw them score 4
runs on 4 hits.  Cincinnati scored in 6 different innings, but their shaky
pitching kept them from victory.  
 
The win was credited to Tommie Sisk(3-0) who went 6 and 1/3 innings allowing 7
runs. Sammy Ellis(1-1) was hit with the loss.  He was unable to control the
Pittsburgh offense and allowed 7 hits and 2 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.
