Pinch-hitter Ed Goodson's bases-loaded single in the ninth inning pushed the Braves past the Cardinals, 8-7. The winners rallied when Vic Correll, who hit a three-run homer in the first, walked off losing reliever Bob Gibson. Rowland Office singled and Dave May walked to load the bases before Goodson batted for winner Tom House. Buddy Bradford's two-run homer in a three-run fifth had given the Cards a 7-6 lead.
