Cardinals Are World Champions!




After claiming the final spot in the playoffs in the last game of the season, St. Louis lost just once in postseason play. A four run eighth broke a 2-2 tie and a late rally by the AL Champion Minnesota ballclub fell short to give the Redbirds the title, 4 games to 1.

In a close game the St. Louis Cardinals registered 4 runs in the 8th inning
and got by the Minnesota Twins by the score of 6 to 4.

St. Louis had the game winning rally in the bottom of the 8th inning as they
scored 4 runs on 4 base hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Lou
Brock who brought a roar from the partisan Busch Stadium fans when he banged
out a single bringing in two baserunners. Minnesota had a chance to come
back in the 9th but they came up short.

Mike Torrez(1-0) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. Dick
Woodson(0-1) took the loss in relief. He allowed 4 runs and 3 hits in 1/3 of
an inning.
