With two out in the ninth inning, Ed Ott drove in two runs with a single to give the Pirates a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals. Both runs were unearned as the result of an error by Garry Templeton, who bobbled a grounder by Dave Parker to open the inning. Willie Stargell walked and, after Mark Littell relieved Don Hood, Bill Robinson sacrificed and Bill Madlock grounded out before Ott rapped his winning hit. [The Sporting News]
