The Cardinals, who scored three runs and still had two men on base with one out in the 12th inning, filed a protest when the Phillies failed to put the field back in playing condition after rain stopped the game, with the score reverting to a 3-3 tie for 11 full innings. League President Chub Feeney upheld the protest because of the mechanical failure of the water removal machine and the game was resumed in Philadelphia on September 6.

In the 12th, Lou Brock walked for the Cardinals, stole second and reached third on a passed ball before Julian Javier was hit by a pitch. Rain then suspended play for one hour, 49 minutes. After action resumed, Bob Burda smashed a line drive that was knocked down by Deron Johnson, who recovered the ball and stepped on first for the putout. Javier was trapped but succeeded in returning to first safely as Brock scored from third.

Joe Torre and Matty Alou singled for another run and Daryl Patterson walked to load the bases. A wild pitch by Billy Wilson allowed Torre to score. Rain then stopped the game again for 31 minutes and the umpires finally called it off. [The Sporting News]
