Pirates Top Braves In 11th On Stargell Leadoff Homer
In a 2-1 Pirates win over the Braves, Willie Stargell powered the offense with a leadoff homer in the 11th inning. The performance helped Pittsburgh catcher/first baseman to seize the National League batting lead at .328, edging teammates. Manager Harry Walker had previously criticized Stargell for a rookie-like mistake, now seemingly pleased with the turnaround.
