Unbelievable!



A win would have clinched a tie for the Dodgers, but Houston outlasts in 19 innings. Jim Lefebvre looked to deliver a blow to put him down in the annals of Dodgers' history with a two run homer in the 7th to give the hosts a 3-1 lead. Houston chipped away a run in the eighth, but trailed heading to the ninth. Then Norm Miller wrote history himself with a longball off lefty Jim Brewer to tie the game.

Denny Lemaster carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning and John Edwards hit

one over the fence and had 2 RBI as the Houston Astros defeated the Los

Angeles Dodgers in 19 innings 6 to 4 at Dodger Stadium.

 

Both teams were tied at 3 runs apiece after nine innings.  Houston ended up

winning it in the 19th inning.  After an out was recorded, Marty Martinez got

things rolling when he lined a one-base hit.  Edwards came next and he bombed

a two-run dinger (his 7th of the season).  Overall Houston out-hit Los

Angeles 17 to 9.  

 

The win went to Scipio Spinks(2-0) who allowed no runs in 3 innings.  The

left-handed Lemaster lost his chance for a no-hitter when Bill Russell

tripled with nobody out in the 6th inning.  Al McBean(3-2) was charged with

the loss in relief.

1969 Pennant Race





Strat-O-Matic Report



Strat-O-Matic Report







The 1969 season is in its final days.  The AL Division winners clinched weeks ago, but the NL is still undecided, as St. Louis tops Chicago by 1-1/2 games in the East and Los Angeles paces Atlanta in the West by the same number of games.  The frontrunners both have three games remaining, while the chasers only have a pair of games left.

Stay close by and follow the last few exciting days of this race and follow the postseason as well.
