OOTP 1975 Pittsburgh Pirates Off and Running

     The first game of the 1975 season is in the books. It was the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Chicago Cubs in Chicago 3-0. Rennie Stennett batted in the game-winner in the 7th and Richie Hebner iced the win with a two-run homer in the ninth. Pitching for the Pirates, Dock Ellis held the Cubs to 3 hits.

      Interestingly, the heart of the Pirates lineup -- Oliver, Stargell, Zisk and Parker -- went 1-for-13 on the day. Pinch-hitters Ed Kirkpatrick and Bill Robinson were 2-for-2  with 2 runs scored while Stennett, Hebner and Sanguillen combined for 4 hits and 3 RBIs.
     1975 is off to a rousing start!
