A single by Duke Sims with the bases loaded in the ninth inning scored Manny Mota and brought the Dodgers a 2-1 victory over the Pirates. Mota started the stanza by beating out an infield hit and Wes Parker followed with a double. After an intentional pass to Willie Davis, Sims lined his single. [The Sporting News] |
