WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Butch Wynegar blocked the plate, saving a run!

44,255 fans were treated to a fine game at The Couch as only one run separated
the combatants at game's end.  The Cincinatti Royalty won by the slimmest of
margins, 5 to 4.

Graig Nettles had a big day against Pittsburgh.  He delivered a solo blast in
the 2nd inning, doubled which brought home a run in the 6th inning and
doubled knocking in a run in the 8th inning.  Pittsburgh had a chance to come
back in the 9th but they came up short.  

The victory was credited to Charlie Hough(3-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Ron Guidry was credited with his 1st save.  Gary Lavelle(3-2) took the
loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 runs and 4 hits in 2 and 2/3 innings.
