The first-place Pittsburgh Pirates took on the New York Mets in front of a spirited crowd.

The Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a good performance by New York second baseman Tom Brookens to knock off New York, 9-8, at Three Rivers Stadium. Brookens was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Pittsburgh goes to 79-71. The win puts them 3 games up in their division.

Pittsburgh took a 9-8 lead on Ed Ott's 5th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off New York pitcher Frank LaCorte in the bottom of the eighth.

"Enjoyed this one," Ott told the Pittsburgh Daily. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
