Bottom of the 9th, Braves leads Cards by a 3-2 score(4-26-61)
Jack Buck: "Cardinals entertain Philly for a 3-game set starting Friday Night. Busch ticket office will be open tomorrow, plenty of good seats available for Friday Night, Saturday Night and Sunday Afternoon, all single games. Do plan to join us, won't you?"
Harry Caray: "We go to the bottom of the 9th, Warren Spahn back on the mound to face the 2-3-4 hitters in a very tight 3-2 game. Ernie Broglio struck out 10 in his 9-inning stint, while Spahn has battled his control as Curt Flood steps up to the plate. Flood has a single and a walk in 3 trips."
Joe Garagiola: "Spahn has walked a delicate tightrope and is about to fall off with Flood."
Caray: "The 3-1 to Flood, he walked him! That's number 7 for Spahn and Don McMahon is throwing like crazy in that Milwaukee pen."
Garagiola: "Having watched Milwaukee for NBC last weekend, this pitching staff has to be held together with a paper clip. At the same time, it is painful to watch Spahn struggle through to the finish line."
Caray: "Here's Bill White, single and walk in 3 trips. Spahn and Torre keeping their eyes on Flood at 1st... Spahn is on the backside of a fine career, no question about it, Joe."
Garagiola: "I saw Lew Burdette pitch a complete game, 2-1 victory at Pittsburgh, without the aid of a strikeout, but no walks either."
Caray: "The pitch to White, line drive caught by McMillan at short, one away. He hardly moved at all, Flood retreated back to first the moment that ball was struck.
One away, here's Ken Boyer, who has gone 0 for 2 with 2 walks. Adcock keeping his eye on Flood, who has a marginal lead... Pirates snap that 9-game losing streak, 6-0 against the Phillies at Forbes tonight... The pitch to Boyer, comebacker to Spahn, who drops it. Everybody's safe! One of the best fielding pitchers dropped a sure one there, which prompts a visit from Chuck Dressen, to talk some strategy."
Garagiola: "Just hang on to the ball, you got this or you're walking back to the hotel."
Caray: "Is that what they told you during those mound meetings?"
Garagiola: "Yes, but with much more colorful language."
Caray: "Here's Warwick, who's singled in 4 trips. McMahon still throwing. Charlie James, who's driven in both Card runs is on deck. Still one out... The pitch to Warwick, ground ball to Adcock, who slips and falls and tries to throw to Spahn, it's in the dugout, Flood scores the tying run, Boyer to 3rd, Warwick safe at 2nd on the error by Adcock and we are tied at 3. Holy Cow!!! Dressen makes the long walk to the mound as Spahn's night comes to an ugly end with back-to-back errors and there's still only one out. What a ballgame!
Garagiola: "Not only is Spahn exiting, Adcock's leaving too, Frank Thomas will take over for him at 1st with Don McMahon trying to get this to the 10th."
Caray: "Keep in mind with 2nd and 3rd and one out and Smith having driven in 2 runs tonight, Dressen will likely break out the four fingers and leave the ballgame's fate in the hand of Schaffer or a pinch-hitter. McMahon's all ready, here's Smith who has singled twice, driven in 2 runs, but will likely be placed at 1st by Chuck Dressen... And there's ball four to load them up.
Here comes the pride of Shickshinny, PA, Carl Sawatski to pinch-hit for Schaffer...
Listen to this crowd... Bases loaded, one out... Mc Mahon kicks and fires, here's the pitch...
There's a drive to left, Maye racing over, can't get it, it's off the wall, Boyer will score, CARDS WIN!!! Holy Cow, what a finish!!! The Braves literally threw this one away. In the 9th, 1 run, 1 hit, 2 errors, 3 left. The final score, Cardinals 4, Milwaukee 3. Final totals after this."
