Billy Williams, who hit two homers in the first game, whacked his third of the day in the second game to help the Cubs to a 7-2 victory after the Pirates won the opener, 10-6, on the slugging of Roberto Clemente and Gene Alley. Clemente hit two homers for the second game in succession and Alley rapped his third in two games. Alley and Clemente connected for back-to-back homers in the third inning. Al Oliver contributed three doubles and a single to the Pirates' attack and drove in three runs before Clemente capped the eighth inning with his second homer of the game.

In the nightcap, the Cubs broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth when Paul Popovich tripled and Williams and Jim Hickman followed with consecutive circuit clouts. A single by Ron Santo, double by Cleo James and single by Milt Pappas added another run before the inning ended. James batted in the Cubs' final pair with a bases-loaded single in the seventh. Willie Stargell hit a homer for the Pirates. [The Sporting News]
