June's His Month Stargell Drives Pirates to Sweep
Willie Stargell sparked a June hitting spree with three doubles and a single driving in five as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds 9 to 5, completing a three game series sweep. Rennie Stennett and Al Oliver contributed hits, and Manny Sanguillen hit his third homer of the season to cap a 7-3 Pirates lead. Sam McDowell earned win in five innings while Doug Konieczny drove in two for the Cubs in a 4-3 Houston win that snapped nine losses. Enos Cabell's eighth inning single broke a 2-2 tie, with Konieczny adding a wall-scraping double for insurance.
