Five-hit pitching by Jim Barr carried the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Pirates. Frisco scored in its first turn at bat on a double by Bill Madlock and single by Jack Clark. Clark's single extended his consecutive games hitting streak to 25, a new club record. The other Giant runs came in the fifth on a walk to Larry Herndon, sacrifice by Johnnie LeMaster and RBI singles by Marc Hill and Madlock. [The Sporting News]
