Reggie Jackson followed with a 2-run single. Rollie Fingers set the Pirates down in order in the bottom of the 12th and got the Win for Oakland. The Pirates could not get anything going against the A's pitching. They did get a 3-run homer from Richie Hebner in the 4th inning for a 3-1 lead, but only had 3 hits through the 1st 9 innings of the game. Oakland battled back and tied the game at 3 in the 8th inning before finally winning it in the 12th. The A's now hold a commanding 2-0 Series lead with the next 3 games scheduled to be played in Oakland.
