1972 – Pittsburgh’s Steve Blass and Roberto Clemente each close in on a cherished goal: the former, a 20-win season, the latter a 3,000-hit career. Charley Feeney of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: “Blass notched his 19th victory – and No. 100 of his career – while Clemente rapped two hits in a 5 – 1 breeze over the Phillies here last night… ‘I’ve always looked forward to winning 20 games,’ says Blass. He will get a chance for No. 20 on Sunday in Pittsburgh when he faces the Mets… Clemente is within four hits of becoming the first Pirate in history to collect 3,000 hits. Clemente hit four balls hard last night. He was instrumental in sending Wayne Twitchell to the hospital. Twitchell was hit on the palm of the right hand by Clemente’s vicious smash in the 1st inning. Twitchell retrieved the ball and threw out Clemente, then headed for the hospital where X-rays of the hand were negative. In the 3rd, rookie third baseman Mike Schmidt made a fine stop of Clemente’s hot smash and, with plenty of time to nab Clemente at first base, Schmidt threw low for an error. Clemente singled in the five-run 6th and chopped a hit to third in the 9th. He also fanned.”

After a 14-inning marathon further lengthened by a two-hour-and-twenty-minute rain delay, the Pirates defeat the Brewers, 2 – 1, for their 9th straight win. Both starting pitchers have to leave after the 2nd-inning thunderstorm, but relievers Tyler Thornburg for Milwaukee and Vin Mazzaro for Pittsburgh are both outstanding, the latter retiring all 15 batters he faces in order. Trailing 1 – 0, the Bucs tie the game on a pair of hits off Jim Henderson in the 8th and Russell Martin finally ends the game with a pinch-hit single off Francisco Rodriguez in the bottom of the 14th.
