The Pittsburgh Pirates Bill Mazeroski had a big day at the plate today launching 2 HR and driving in 8 runs, allowing the Pirates to crush the New York Mets 17-7. The 8 RBI by Maz are the most in any game by an individual player this year in the NL. Teammate Willie Stargell added a HR, and 2 RBI among his 3 hits that raised his BA to .408.

WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Johnny Lewis robbed Bob Bailey of an extra base hit.
 
Bill Mazeroski launched 2 homeruns as the Pittsburgh Pirates ballclub
embarrassed the slumping New York Mets by the count of 17 to 7.
 
Mazeroski was really in 'the zone'.  He caught a hold of a bad pitch for a
Grand Slam homerun in the 5th inning, tripled bringing home two baserunners
in the 6th inning and cracked a two-run shot in the 8th inning.  Pittsburgh
bats were very productive in the 5th inning which saw them plate 8 runs on 7
hits.  Pittsburgh out-hit New York for the game, 19 hits to 11.  
 
Don Cardwell(4-3) picked up the victory, allowing 5 runs in 6 innings. Pete
Mikkelsen recorded the save, his 6th.  Dennis Ribant(1-1) was tagged with the
loss.  He got hit hard, allowing 9 hits and 4 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.
 
Mazeroski said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate
tonight.  You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you can.  A couple
pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
