ATLANTA BRAVES AT PITTSBURGH PIRATES
GAME ID: 2879 - MONDAY, AUGUST 25TH , 1980 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Atlanta Braves (68-57) 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 4 9 1
Pittsburgh Pirates (65-61) 3 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 X 5 7 0
Pirates Hold Off Braves, 5-4
The timely hitting of Al Oliver helped the Pittsburgh Pirates down the Atlanta Braves, 5-4. Oliver went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 times for the Pirates. Pittsburgh is now 65-61.

Had Willie Stargell not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Stargell hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Pirates.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Pittsburgh manager Nik Hill.
