| Pitched 13 innings |
Game two turned the series in the Cards favor.
After San Francisco took the opener 8-5, they took a 2-0 lead into the
seventh of game three. It was looking like the 16-6 Giants were on their
way to yet another win and a series victory.
But the Cardinals managed to take the lead in 7th
on run scoring singles by Enos Slaughter and Ron Northey, and a double
by Marty Marion. Barry Bonds threw out Northey at the plate on Marion’s
double, keeping the deficit at one run.
The
Giants tied the score in the ninth, on a one out single by pinch hitter
Jody Reed, and a errant pick off throw by Cardinal reliever Ted Wilks
that sent Reed to second. Mark Carreon then singled to tie the score.
After Robbie Thompson walked, lefty Howie Pollet, normally a starter,
was summoned to face Barry Bonds, and struck him out.
Pollet matched zeroes with the Giant bullpen, when the Cardinals loaded the bases in the 13th, and took the lead as Slaughter induced a walk off Dave Burba to force in the run.
Pollet finished off the 13th,
pitching 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. The Giants outhit the Cards
11 to 8, and the Cardinals committed four errors yet were able to win
the game.
Game
three switched to St. Louis, with the Cardinals rolling to 7-2 win,
squaring Harry Brecheen’s record at 3-3. John Burkett dropped to 1-3.
