TEAM RISP- Cubs: 7 for 15  Pirates: 6 for 13

Don Lenhardt had 4 hits and 4 RBI as the dominant Chicago-NL Cubs outscored
the Pittsburgh Pirates 14 to 12.

Lenhardt had a big day at the plate.  He delivered a base-hit in the 1st
inning, smacked a single which plated a run in the 4th inning, slapped a
one-base hit bringing home two baserunners in the 7th inning and hit a
bases-empty home run in the 9th inning.  Pittsburgh was out-hit by
Chicago-NL, 19 hits to 15.  

The victory was credited to Johnny Sain(8-6) who went 6 innings, allowing 5
runs. Sain got relief help from Sal Maglie who gained credit for his 5th
save.  Vinegar Bend Mizell(5-7) absorbed the loss.  He allowed Chicago-NL 6
runs in 3 innings of work.  

Center fielder Bobby Thomson slammed a homerun and had 6 RBI for Pittsburgh
but his effort was wasted in the loss.
