The score was tied at 5 after nine. New York won it in the 12th inning. Willie Mays slapped a single. Mays got a good lead and stole second. Two outs later Ray Katt came up and he lined a base-hit scoring the run. New York finished with 13 hits in the victory. Mike McCormick(2-0) allowed 1 run in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. Tom Acker(1-4) took the loss in relief. He gave up 2 runs and 6 hits in 5 innings. PHILADELPHIA AT ST. LOUIS Phillies........ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 - 8 9 2 Cardinals....... 3 0 2 1 0 0 1 0 0 - 7 10 1 Win:Morehead(1-0) Loss:Davis(1-1) Save:Farrell(3rd) Homeruns- D.Blasingame(2nd), L.McDaniel(1st) In a dramatic ending the Philadelphia Phillies staged a comeback and held on to win over the St. Louis Cardinals by the count of 8 to 7. Philadelphia had the winning rally in the 9th inning when they tallied 4 runs on 5 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Harry Anderson who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he doubled scoring two baserunners. Philadelphia had a total of 9 hits for the game. Seth Morehead(1-0) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Morehead got help from Turk Farrell who earned his 3rd save. Jim Davis(1-1) was hit with the loss in relief. Mayo Smith was very happy after the game, 'It's great to come back and win it in your last at bats! Our guys just wouldn't give up. And did you see the fans - one minute they're laughing and screaming down all sorts of unprintable stuff at our guys - the next minute - SILENCE! Yes sir, a very enjoyable win tonight!' PITTSBURGH AT MILWAUKEE Pirates......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 5 1 Braves.......... 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 8 0 Win:Pizarro(2-1) Loss:Friend(3-4) Homeruns- J.Pizarro(1st) Juan Pizarro went 9 strong innings at County Stadium as the Milwaukee Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2 to 0. Pittsburgh fell behind quickly as the Milwaukee offense came through in the first inning scoring a single run utilizing 3 base hits. Danny O'Connell stroked a one-base hit. Hank Aaron was next to the plate, but was promptly struck out. Eddie Mathews then slapped a base-hit. After another out, Chuck Tanner came to the plate and delivered a base-hit scoring the run. That early run support was enough for Pizarro(2-1) and Milwaukee. Neither team managed to score after the 2nd inning. Bob Friend(3-4) absorbed the loss. He pitched 7 innings and surrendered 7 hits and 1 walk. BROOKLYN AT CHICAGO Dodgers......... 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 - 2 8 2 Cubs............ 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 - 3 6 0 Win:Drabowsky(1-3) Loss:Koufax(0-1) Homeruns- D.Snider(9th), C.Neeman(4th) Moe Drabowsky went the distance as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 3 to 2 at Wrigley Field. Chicago promptly took the lead in their half of the first scoring a single run using 2 hits. Brooklyn threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. The winning pitcher was Drabowsky(1-3) who allowed 2 runs for the game. Sandy Koufax(0-1) suffered the loss. 'Just one or two mistakes were all it took to beat us today' Walter Alston said. 'We take these games one day at a time, but this one was hard to take.'
