The Chicago-NL Cubs bested the Pittsburgh Pirates by a 4 to 1 score at Wrigley
Field.

Pittsburgh was unable to claim the lead after Chicago-NL went ahead in the
bottom of the 2nd inning scoring one runner.  Pittsburgh tried unsuccessfully
to come back in the 9th.  

Al Widmar(9-9) went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 1 run for the win. Widmar got
relief help from Howie Judson who gained credit for his 14th save.  Eddie
Lopat(8-13) was the loser.  

Andy Spector was in a contemplative mood after the tough loss, 'It is really
hard to lose this kind of a game.  It may seem weird to some, but it is
easier to take the occasional blow-out loss.  It is the ones that just barely
get away that hurt so much - like this one!'
