The Pittsburgh Pirates scored a run in the 2nd inning on a Richie Hebner homerun, but the Oakland A's scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 2nd and that would be all they'd need, winning game 4 of the 1972 World Series 6-2. Vida Blue was effective for the A's through 6th innings and picked up the win. Oakland now leads the Series 3 games to 1. Ken Holtzman will try to clinch the Series at home tomorrow for the A's while Steve Blass will try to bring it back to Pittsburgh for games 6 & 7.

Sal Bando hit 2 doubles as the Oakland A's bested the Pittsburgh Pirates 6 to
2 at Oakland Co Stadium.
Oakland had 3 runs cross the plate in the 2nd inning when they came up with 3
base hits. That early run support was all that Vida Blue(1-0) required.
Oakland finished with 11 hits in the victory.
Nelson Briles(0-1) was the loser. He was unable to control the Oakland
offense and allowed 5 hits and 3 walks in 2 innings.
