WILD PITCHES- H.Woodeshick-2

 

In a two run game the streaking San Francisco Giants got by the slumping

Houston Colt 45's by the score of 6 to 4.

 

In the 7th inning San Francisco scored 4 runs with the help of 3 hits.  The

highlight belonged to Willie Mays who quieted the crowd when he launched a

rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun (his 14th of the

season).  Houston made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push

the needed runs across.  

 

The winning pitcher was Mike McCormick(2-2) who allowed 3 runs in 7 innings.

McCormick got help from Stu Miller who earned his 7th save.  Hal

Woodeshick(0-4) absorbed the loss.  He gave up 6 runs and 7 hits in 6

innings.  

 

'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Houston's manager said.

'It's bad enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating

yourselves, that's really bad.'
