Richie Zisk doubled home the tie-breaking run in the nightcap as the Pirates came from behind to defeat the Cubs, 5-3, and complete a doubleheader sweep. Dock Ellis pitched a nine-hitter and Richie Hebner drilled a three-run homer as the Pirates captured the lidlifter, 5-1. With the Pirates trailing 3-2 and one out in the seventh inning of the second game, Ed Kirkpatrick walked and moved to third on Al Oliver's bloop double. Willie Stargell drew an intentional pass and Hebner plated the tying run with a sacrifice fly. Zisk then doubled off third baseman Bill Madlock's glove for the lead run. The Cubs had scored all their runs in the second stanza on a double by Rick Monday, Manny Trillo's two-run homer, Steve Swisher's triple and Don Kessinger's double.

In the opener, Manny Sanguillen triggered a four-run fourth frame with a triple and scored on a groundout. Zisk walked and Bill Robinson singled before Hebner rapped his 10th homer of the campaign. [The Sporting News]
