Bill Virdon had 3 base hits and 3 RBI at Candlestick Park as the Pittsburgh

Pirates, running on all cylinders, ripped the San Francisco Giants by a large

13 to 2 margin.

 

Pittsburgh went ahead for good in the top of the 2nd inning as they scored 4

runs on 3 base hits.  That was all the offense they were to need.  Overall

Pittsburgh out-hit San Francisco 15 to 10.  

 

The win was credited to Tom Sturdivant(3-0) who went 7 innings allowing 2

runs. Billy O'Dell(1-3) absorbed the loss.  He was knocked around by

Pittsburgh, allowing 10 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
