Saturday August 29, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
With two out in ninth inning, Lou Brock smashed a homer with a man on base to bring the Cardinals a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Vic Davalillo, who drove in the Cardinals' first run with a triple in the seventh inning, tied the N. L. record with his 22nd pinch-hit of the season. Bill Sudakis broke a 1-1 tie and put the Dodgers ahead with a round-tripper in the eighth. Jerry DaVanon drew a pass to open the ninth. Brock, who bats lefthanded, teed off on the first delivery to him by southpaw Jim Brewer and drove the ball deep into the bleachers in right-center field. [The Sporting News]
