On June 11, 1972 Roberto Clemente’s two-out, two-strike, two-run bomb breaks a 4 – 4 tie in the 7th. His two-out, 9th-inning single provides insurance for Pittsburgh’s 7 – 5 win. Los Angeles’s first four runs score by way of three long balls, two of them inside the park, courtesy of Manny Mota and Willie Davis down the foul lines at Dodger Stadium off Bucs’ starter Bruce Kison. This is the Pirates 21st win the last 26 games.
