The Pirates piled up 21 hits, including four apiece by Richie Hebner and Richie Zisk, to trounce the Reds, 14-3. Al Oliver, who had two singles, a homer and sacrifice fly, drove in five runs. The Pirates began their bombardment in the first inning. The first three batters, Rennie Stennett, Hebner and Oliver, singled to load the bases. Willie Stargell struck out, but Zisk cleared the sacks with a double and Ed Kirkpatrick followed with a homer to kayo Jack Billingham. Larry Demery hurled the route for the Pirates and gave up nine hits, including homers by George Foster and Dan Driessen. [The Sporting News]
