NL Play in Game - Cubbies slam Amazin's 15-4.

NL Play in Game
Shea Stadium
Selma vs Seaver
Cubs 15, Mets 4


To sum this one up in one sentence:  "The Franchise was not terrific".  To expand, Tom Seaver (6-3,4.15) gave up 9 runs in 6 innings.  The Met offense supplied him with 4 runs, which 90% of the time would have been more than enough for the powerful righty from Fresno, CA.  Everyone in Cub universe got a hit.  The first 4 batters in the lineup went a collective 9-19 with 9 runs scored and 8 RBI.  The biggest bat of them all was 3rd sacker Ron Santo, who jumped up and clicked his heels to the tun of 2-4 with 3 runs scored and 5 RBI's.  Santo's hits were both homers.  The first was a 2 run shot in the 4th and the second a 3 run shot in the 6th that broke a 3-3 tie and chased the Franchise from the hill.  Chicago will play the winner of the Phillies/Giants play in game matchup.
