Gibson Tosses Shutout to Clinch St. Louis Division Crown



Bob Gibson is on a very short list of men you would want on the mound in a 162 game season that comes down to the very last game. And the big righty did not disappoint, holding the hapless Philadelphia squad to five hits and whiffing ten as St. Loiuis clinched the final playoff spot on the very last day of the season.

Bob Gibson struck out 10 batters as the St. Louis Cardinals topped the
Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 4 to 0 at Busch Stadium.

Gibson(18-13) simply dominated Philadelphia. He allowed just 5 hits and 1
walk in 9 innings. St. Louis rapped out 7 hits for the night.

Grant Jackson(12-15) was charged with the loss. Red Schoendienst was asked
about the performance of Gibson, 'He had his good stuff out there tonight.
The fans really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that
seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
