. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Willie Stargell and Richie Zisk put on a power show, driving in 11 runs between them, as the Pirates routed the Giants, 14-1. Stargell hit two homers, one of them with the bases loaded and the other with one man aboard, to account for six RBIs. Zisk hit for the cycle with a homer in first inning, double in the fifth, single in the sixth and triple in the ninth, driving in five runs. Bob Robertson also homered in the Pirates' 17-hit attack. The Giants scored their only run off Jerry Reuss in the seventh on a walk to Bruce Miller and singles by John Boccabella and Chris Speier. [The Sporting News]
