. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Posting his first N. L. shutout, Bob Johnson pitched the Pirates to a 4-0 victory in a split of a doubleheader with the Phillies, who won the first game, 3-2. Larry Bowa tripled and Willie Montanez homered for the Phillies in the fourth inning of the lidlifter, but an unearned run in the seventh on a walk by Oscar Gamble, a stolen base and Willie Stargell's muff of a fly proved decisive. The Pirates rallied for two runs on four singles in the ninth, but Joe Hoerner relieved Woodie Fryman and struck out Vic Davalillo to save the game.

A homer by Gene Alley and triples by Rennie Stennett and Gene Clines were the Pirates' big hits in support of Johnson's pitching in the nightcap. [The Sporting News]
