Game
1 at Fenway Park: Bob Gibson vs Jose Santiago –
Gibson’s 6-hitter and the aggressive base running of speedster
Lou Brock are the difference in a close 2-1 St. Louis victory.
Roger Maris drives in both runs for the Redbirds, Brock scoring
twice. Home run: Santiago.
Game
2 at Fenway Park: Jim Lonborg vs Dick Hughes –
Red Sox ace Jim Lonborg completely dominates the Cardinals,
tossing a 1-hitter on his way to a 5-0 victory! A.L. Triple
Crown winner Carl Yastrzemski smashes 2 HR’s!
Game
3 at Busch Stadium: Nelson Briles vs Gary Bell –
Briles tosses a 7-hit 5-2 complete game victory, as the Cardinal
offensive pressure resumes in game 3. Brock, Flood and Maris
are the hitting stars of the game. Home runs: Mike Shannon and
Reggie Smith.
Game
4 at Busch Stadium: Bob Gibson vs Jose Santiago –
This time, Gibson is even better than in the first game, as
he gives up only 5 hits in a 6-0 St. Louis win. The Cardinals
score 4 in the first inning and two in the third, as Roger Maris
continues to be the RBI leader of the series.
Game
5 at Busch Stadium: Jim Lonborg vs Steve Carlton –
Lonborg again holds the Cardinal bats in check, pitching a 3-hit,
3-1 complete game victory. Maris wrecks Lonborg’s shutout
in the 9th with a home run.
Game
6 at Fenway Park: Gary Waslewski vs Dick Hughes –
Back in Boston the Red Sox explode with four homers, including
two by Rico Petrocelli, and defeat St. Louis 8-4. Other HR’s
are by Yastrzemski, Reggie Smith and Brock.
Game
7 at Fenway Park: Bob Gibson vs Jim Lonborg –
In this classic 7th game matchup of the two top pitchers of
the year Gibson is stronger, as the Cardinals score all 7 runs
in four innings off a tired Lonborg, who is pitching with only
2 days rest. Gibby tosses three-hitter and belts HR to boot,
as the Cardinals become World Champions! His 3 complete-game
victories tie a record! Maris is tops with 7 RBI and hits .385,
while Brock leads all batters with .414! Until this final game
Lonborg has been brilliant, with two complete game wins in the
series. Yaz bats .400 with 5 RBI and hits 3 HR’s for the
Red Sox.
