					| Host Expos Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2 |  
					| When the games really matter, the Pittsburgh Pirates put on their best show, beating the Montreal Expos by a final score of 7-0 today. David Contreras went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Pittsburgh now leads Montreal 3-2 in the best-of-7 affair. 
 It could have been a different outcome for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Mike Bates, the top prospect . Bates contributed a 2-run  double in the top of the second inning to put Pittsburgh up, 4-0.
 
 Bates said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
 
 Game 6 is scheduled for Wednesday at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
