Clemente's Bat Escapes Fire Set by the Pirates
Roberto Clemente spurned a bat burning by his Pittsburgh Pirates after a 3-0 win over St. Louis. The Cardinals eye a possible special ceremony as Clemente echoed his dislike for the ritual. Willie Stargell provided support with a run and a hit as Bob Veale earned his second straight win. Rich Nye of the Cubs shut out the Dodgers, Seaver beat the Reds, and Marichal led the Giants past the Astros. Atlanta's game with Philadelphia was rained out.
