Four-hit pitching by Don Robinson carried the Pirates to a 1-0 whitewashing of the Cubs. The lone run of the game came in the fourth inning on a triple by Vance Law and single by Bill Robinson. The Cubs' Buckner, although going 0-for-4, finished the season at .324 to capture the league's batting championship. [The Sporting News]
