Woodie Fryman vs Greg Maddux
Pirates 6, Braves 1
Pittsburgh scored early and late in this game to provide what looks in the scorebook as a comfortable margin for victory. Rest assured there was no comfort on this day as Woodie Fryman circled in and out of trouble over and over again. Fryman, who gave up 11 hits in 8 1/3 innings of work, was masterful getting out of one jam after another. Inning after inning the Braves had him on the ropes, but he didn't crumble. 1966 NL MVP Roberto Clemente had a breakout day with the stick. "Bob" went 3 for 5 with a homer, 2 RBI's and 3 runs scored and a huge diving catch in right that saved 3 runs from scoring. Fryman himself got into the act offensively going 2 for 4. Cy Young candidate Greg Maddux went 6, but gave up 3, while fanning 5. Reliever Mike Stanton gave up 2 runs late in the game to give the Bucs some much needed insurance.Series tied 1-1
