Three hits and two RBIs by Ken Oberkfell paced the Cardinals to an 11-inning, 7-5 decision over the Pirates. The game was tied, 5-5, when Leon Durham led off the Cardinals' 11th with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice by Ken Reitz and raced home on a single by Oberkfell. Oberkfell, who reached second on the throw to the plate, tallied the extra run on a double by Tony Scott. [The Sporting News]
