Gil Hodges hit a homerun and had 3 RBI and Roger Craig was able to finish what

he started and was credited with a complete game at Shea Stadium as the New

York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8 to 4.

 

New York brought 3 runs across the plate in the 5th inning.  The critical

plate appearance was by Frank Thomas who made the crowd come alive when he

cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 13th of the season).  New York

had 9 hits for the afternoon.  

 

The victory was credited to Craig(5-6) who went the distance, allowing 4 runs.

Billy Pierce(5-2) was given the loss.  He allowed 3 homeruns in 5 innings of

work.
