| Dick Schofield, playing third base because Joe Torre was ill with the flu, drove in two runs with a double to pace the Cardinals to a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Singles by Matty Alou, Jose Cardenal and Ted Sizemore produced the Cards' first run in the sixth inning before Schofield rapped his decisive double. [The Sporting News] |
