After sterling relief pitching by Tom Hall saved a 3-1 victory in the first game, the Reds also defeated the Pirates in the second game, 5-1, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. Hall, in relief of Jack Billingham, pitched hitless ball in the last 3 2/3 innings and struck out five. The Reds scored two runs in the second inning on a walk, double by Dave Concepcion and single by Dan Driessen. An extra run in the sixth was unearned on two errors.
