Bill Robinson, who tripled home the tying run in the 10th inning, singled home the winning run with two out in the 12th canto to give the Pirates an 8-7 triumph over the Reds. The game-winning bingle was preceded by Dave Parker's double.

Reds' ace Tom Seaver was battered early as the Pirates took a 6-2 bulge into the ninth. But Joe Morgan's three-run homer highlighted a four-run rally that produced a tie. The Reds took a 7-6 lead in the 10th on a run-scoring single by Dan Driessen but a single by Parker and Robinson's triple off the left field wall again tied up the contest. [The Sporting News]
