Pushing across a run in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Cardinals shaded the Giants, 2-1. The score was 1-1 when Tito Landrum reached first on an infield hit, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by catcher Bob Brenly and tallied on Tommy Herr's single up the middle through a drawn-in infield.
