A fielder's choice grounder by rookie catcher Glenn Brummer plated the decisive run as the Cardinals outlasted the Padres, 2-1 in 13 innings. The score was 1-1 when Tommy Herr began the winning surge with a one-out walk and took third on a single by Ken Oberkfell. After George Hendrick was walked intentionally to load the bases, Brummer hit a grounder between shortstop and third base. The Padres attempted an inning-ending double play but Brummer beat the relay to first as Herr scored. [The Sporting News] |
