The Pirates clinched their fifth N. L. East title in six years with an 11-3 victory over the Phillies, the only remaining club with a mathematical chance to catch the front-runners. With Richie Zisk and Dave Parker each driving in four runs while Willie Stargell scored four, Pittsburgh put the game away with a five-run eighth, all runs scoring after two were out.
