Ken Singleton had 4 hits and 4 RBI at Dimaggio Field as the Pittsburgh Pirates pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the San Francisco Golden Seals by the count of 13 to 11.
Pittsburgh erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning when they scored 6 runs on 5 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Singleton who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he rifled a three-run blast. Pittsburgh kept the scorekeepers busy in the 9th inning which saw them score 6 runs on 5 hits. Pittsburgh finished with 21 hits while San Francisco ended up with 9.
Jay Howell(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. Howell got help from Gary Lavelle who was credited with his 1st save. Ron Davis was given the loss in relief.
Dean Amrhein was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there? You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead. But, hey, that's what makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over 'til its over.'
