39,518 fans watched an exciting game at Candlestick Park.  The indomitable San

Francisco Giants topped the Pittsburgh Pirates by the slimmest of margins, 3

to 2.

 

San Francisco went ahead for good in the 3rd inning plating an isolated run.

That was all Billy Pierce(11-4) needed.  Neither team managed to score after

the 3rd inning.  

 

Stu Miller was credited with his 18th save.  Earl Francis(5-8) was given the

loss.  He surrendered 6 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings.
