Willie Stargell drove in four runs with a homer, double and single and Bob Moose pitched a four-hitter as the Pirates defeated the Expos, 8-0. The crowd of 41,765, largest since opening day in Pittsburgh, was boosted by hordes of youngsters who came to receive souvenir imitation World Series rings. [The Sporting News]
