After Gary Gentry and Steve Blass traded zeroes for most of the game, the game moved into extra innings, with both teams still unable to plate a run. Finally, Al Oliver ended it by drilling Ron Taylor’s first pitch into the seats in the bottom of the 12th inning, giving Pittsburgh a 1-0, win over the New York Mets.
The Mets left ten runners on base; the Pirates left seven on. Dave Cash returned from reserve military duty, going 1-4, with a walk.
The series concludes tomorrow with Dock Ellis facing Nolan Ryan. WP-Bob Veale(2-0). LP-Ron Taylor. HR-Al Oliver(6).
