Breaking up an overtime game, Willie Davis homered in the 12th inning to carry the Dodgers to a 3-2 victory in a sweep of the three-game series with the Pirates. After the Pirates scored once in the first on doubles by Dave Cash and Richie Zisk, Steve Yeager drove in two runs for the Dodgers with a single in the second and grounder in the fourth. The Pirates tied the score in the ninth with an infield hit by Cash, single by Al Oliver and sacrifice fly by Manny Sanguillen. [The Sporting News]
