1969 – Billy Williams has all four of Chicago’s hits, as the Cubs lose a 9 – 2 decision to Steve Blass and the Pirates. There’s nothing cheap about Billy’s hits – two doubles and two homers – as he sets a National League record for most hits in a game with no other hits, tying the major-league record of Kid Elberfeld (August 1, 1903). Blass helps his own cause with his only major league homer, a 3-run blast, off Ken Holtzman, and three singles. The win is Pittsburgh’s first at Wrigley Field since July 5, 1968, a string of 13 losses. They’ll win the next two to sweep the series and drop the Cubs lead to 2 1/2 games.
