6-RUN 9TH CEMENTS O'S COMEBACK IN SERIES OPENER
Giants Pen Blows Multiple Leads
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7 (AP) - The Baltimore Orioles rallied for six runs in the
top of the ninth inning en route to an 11-7 victory over the San Francisco
Giants in Game 1 of the World Series at Candlestick Park. The Orioles were
trailing 7-5 and down to their final out when four straight hitters reached
base, with pinch hitter Dick Brown putting the final nail in the coffin with a
three-run home run off Billy O'Dell.
The Giants held leads of 4-0, 5-2 and 7-5 but couldn't close out the game,
allowing the Orioles to score nine runs over the final three innings. Bob
Shaw absorbed the defeat, allowing five of the six runs that were scored in the
ninth.
The Giants appeared to seize firm control of what had been a scoreless game by
rallying for four runs against Baltimore starter Milt Pappas in the third.
Giants pitcher Juan Marichal started the rally with a lead-off single and
advanced to third on Harvey Kuenn's base hit. Matty Alou then doubled off
the right field fence, scoring Marichal and chasing Kuenn to third. Willie
Mays chased right fielder Sam Bowens to the edge of the warning track. The
sacrifice fly scored Kuenn with the second run of the inning and advanced Alou
to third. Jim Ray Hart followed by looping a single to center, scoring
Alou, to make it 3-0. Orlando Cepeda continued the parade by slashing a
double past first baseman Norm Siebern, with Hart stopping at third. That
was enough carnage for Orioles manager Hank Bauer, who replaced Pappas with
left-hander Steve Barber. Barber retired Tom Haller on a fly ball to
center, but it was deep enough to score Hart from third. Jim Davenport
grounded out to finally end the inning but the Giants held a 4-0 advantage.
The Orioles pulled to within two in the fourth when Boog Powell led off the
inning with a single and scored one out later when Bowens drilled a Marichal
offering over the left field fence for a two-run home run.
But the Giants got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning when Kuenn
singled with two outs, Barber uncorked a wild pitch allowing the runner to move
into scoring position and Alou followed with a run-scoring single to center
field.
The score was still 5-2 in the seventh when the Orioles erupted to tie the
game. Jackie Brandt led off the inning with a home run on a 3-2 Marichal
fastball, just inside the left field foul pole, to cut the Baltimore deficit to
two runs. Pinch hitter Earl Robinson doubled to right-center and San
Francisco's bullpen began to work for the first time. Marichal retired the
next two batters, bringing Powell to the plate. Giants manager Alvin Dark
considered walking Powell intentionally, but he didn't want to bring the
potential go-ahead run to the plate in the form of the dangerous Brooks
Robinson, so he removed Marichal and inserted left-hander Billy Pierce in the
game. Pierce's first pitch to Powell evaded catcher Haller. The
passed ball moved Earl Robinson to third. Powell then grounded sharply
past Cepeda at first. The double scored the runner from third and cut the
San Francisco lead to 5-4. The Giants decided to pitch to Brooks Robinson,
who was 0-for-3, but ended up regretting it when Robinson tripled over Mays'
head in center field, scoring Powell with the tying run. Pierce retired
Bowens to end the inning, but the damage had been done.
The Giants regained the lead in the bottom of the seventh against Dave McNally,
who walked Kuenn to open the inning. Alou flied out, but Mays, the regular
season major league home run leader, crushed a 1-0 pitch into the left field
stands for a two-run homer and a 7-5 San Francisco lead.
That's how things remained until the ninth. Shaw came on to try to close
out the game for the Giants, but allowed pinch hitter John Orsino to reach on an
infield hit to open the inning. Orsino was replaced by pinch runner Bob
Saverine. Luis Aparicio flied out to left, but Shaw walked Jerry Adair,
putting the tying run on base. The dangerous Powell then worked the count
to 2-2 before grounding out to second baseman Hal Lanier, with both runners
advancing 90 feet. That brought Brooks Robinson to the plate. Shaw
fell behind 2-0 and Robinson made him pay by lining a double into the
left-center field gap, scoring Saverine and Adair easily to tie the game.
Bowens followed by lining a single to center, but the ball was hit so sharply
that Robinson had to hold at third, rather than test the strong arm of
Mays. Norm Siebern then looped a single over the head of Cepeda, scoring
Robinson to give the Orioles an 8-7 lead, with Bowens racing to third.
Dark finally yanked Shaw and replaced him with Billy O'Dell. Bauer
countered by sending Brown to pinch hit for Charlie Lau. With the wind
howling out to right field, Brown decided to take advantage, by stroking a 3-2
offering from O'Dell deep to right-center field and over the wall for a game
breaking three-run home run. The Orioles led 11-7, and a sold out
Candlestick crowd sat in shocked silence, with scarcely a sound even after
O'Dell retired Brandt on strikes to finally put an end to the six-run outburst.
Stu Miller came on for the Orioles and retired the Giants in order to officially
end the game.
The World Series had started out by playing against type. The two teams
had led their respective leagues in run prevention, but had combined to
surrender 18 tallies in Game 1.
After the disastrous end to the opener, the Giants look to bounce back in Game 2
when they send Bob Bolin to the mound against the Orioles' Wally Bunker.

Game 2 at Candlestick Park: Bunker vs. Bolin
O'S RALLY LATE, WIN GAME 2 IN 13TH
Birds Pen Fires 7 Shutout Frames
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8 (AP) - The Baltimore Orioles scored a pair of unearned
runs in the eighth inning to tie the game and then won it by scoring three times
in the top of the 13th to take a commanding 2-0 World Series lead over the San
Francisco Giants. Four Orioles relievers combined to hurl seven scoreless
innings to keep the Giants at bay. Chuck Estrada tossed a pair of shutout
frames to earn the victory.
For the second straight game, the Giants wasted an early lead. In this
one, they pushed a run across against Baltimore starter Wally Bunker in the
bottom of the first. Harvey Kuenn grounded a lead-off single into left
field, was sacrificed to second by Matty Alou and scored on Willie Mays'
opposite field base hit.
San Francisco extended the lead in the bottom of the second. Orlando
Cepeda and Tom Haller drew consecutive walks to open the inning and Jim
Davenport's sacrifice bunt attempt was so good that it went for an infield hit,
loading the bases with no outs. Hal Lanier then lifted a sacrifice fly to
deep left, scoring Cepeda and advancing Haller to third. Pitcher Bob Bolin
popped up a bunt attempt that was caught by Bunker on the fly for the second out
and it appeared that the damage would be limited to one run but Kuenn's would-be
inning-ending grounder to short was booted by Luis Aparicio, scoring Haller and
giving the Giants a 3-0 lead. Alou grounded to second to end the inning.
So, for the second consecutive game, the Giants had a multi-run early
lead. The Orioles crept a bit closer in the fifth when Aparicio hit a
two-out solo home run off Bolin, but the deficit was still two runs as the game
reached the eighth inning.
Bunker had settled down, in the meantime, and held the Giants scoreless before
being lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh. Bolin struggled with his
control all game, walking six batters in seven innings of work.
With Bolin laboring and lefty-swinging Boog Powell due to lead off the eighth,
Giants manager Alvin Dark lifted Bolin in favor of left-hander Bob Hendley, and
the move appeared to be the correct one when Hendley fanned Powell to start the
inning. Brooks Robinson followed with a grounder to first for what should
have been the second out, but Cepeda misplayed the ball and Robinson reached on
the error. Hendley then struck out Sam Bowens for out number two, but
walked the left-handed Norm Siebern, putting runners on first and second.
John Orsino was summoned by Orioles manager Hank Bauer to pinch hit for Charlie
Lau and Dark countered with right-hander Jim Duffalo. But Duffalo couldn't
find the strike zone and walked Orsino on four pitches. Bob Saverine came
on to run for Orsino. The bases were now loaded with two outs, and the
tying runs were in scoring position. Jackie Brandt was due and he guessed
first-pitch fastball. He was right, and lined a single over the head of
third baseman Jim Ray Hart, scoring Robinson and Siebern to tie the game.
Dick Brown came on to pinch hit for reliever Dick Hall and flied to shallow
left..
San Francisco immediately threatened to regain the advantage in the bottom of
the eighth. Facing Stu Miller, Hart laced a lead-off single and moved to
second when Cepeda followed with a base hit of his own. Tom Haller's slow
roller to third resulted in the first out of the inning, but both runners
advanced 90 feet. Now the go-ahead run was at third with only one
out. Willie McCovey was called upon to pinch hit for Jim Davenport and
Miller worked around him, issuing him a technically unintentional four-pitch
base on balls to fill the sacks. Duke Snider was brought on to pinch hit
for Lanier but he popped up a 2-2 pitch that was grabbed, in fair territory, by
the catcher for the second out. Chuck Hiller then came on as a pinch
hitter but Miller struck him out to end the inning. The Giants had blown a
golden opportunity.
The Orioles put together a two-out threat in the ninth on singles by Jerry Adair
and Robinson, but Bowens grounded out to end the inning, and there were no other
good scoring opportunities until the 13th.
In the top of the 13th inning, facing Ron Herbel, Jackie Brandt opened the frame
with a single. Brown, who had remained in the game after pinch hitting in
the eighth, struck out but Aparicio lined a base hit to left, putting runners on
first and second. With Adair at the plate, Herbel uncorked a wild pitch,
moving runners to second and third. With Powell in the on-deck circle, the
intentional walk was a non-starter. The Giants brought the infield in and
Adair's sharp grounder was knocked down by a diving Jose Pagan at short, but the
ball rolled free. Brandt scored the go-ahead run and Aparicio took
third. Herbel retired Powell on a pop fly to short for the second out but
then plunked Brooks Robinson on an 0-2 pitch to fill the bases for Sam Bowens.
Bowens singled to left, scoring Aparicio and Adair to put the Orioles ahead,
6-3. Siebern drew a walk but pitcher Chuck Estrada hit for himself and
grounded out to end the inning.
Estrada was working his second inning of relief in the bottom of the 13th and
retired Pagan, Snider and Hiller on routine ground balls to end the game.
Hall, Miller, Harvey Haddix and Estrada had combined to shut the Giants out for
seven innings. With the final four frames of Bunker's stint, Baltimore had
held San Francisco scoreless over the final 11 innings of the game. Giants
pitchers had combined to walk nine batters and the Orioles stranded 16
baserunners.
Following an off-day for travel, the Series will resume at Memorial Stadium in
Baltimore for Game 3 on October 10. Gaylord Perry and Robin Roberts are
the projected starters.

BIRDS USE BIG INNINGS TO SEIZE 3-0 SERIES LEAD
Robinson, Bowens Key 14-Hit Attack
BALTIMORE, Oct. 10 (AP) - The Baltimore Orioles used two multi-run innings to
whip the San Francisco Giants, 7-2, to take a three-games-to-none lead in the
World Series. The early part of the script that was evident in San
Francisco resurfaced at Memorial Stadium--the Giants took an early lead but
ended up losing the game.
The Orioles may have had difficulty scoring runs in the regular season,
finishing seventh in the American League, but in the World Series, against the
National League's best pitching staff, it's been another matter. Through
the first three games, Baltimore has tallied 24 runs and is batting .299 with 11
extra base hits.
For the third straight game, the Giants drew first blood, pushing a run across
in the top of the first inning against Orioles starter Robin Roberts on Willie
Mays' second home run of the Series, a two-out solo shot into the left field
stands. The Giants upped their lead to 2-0 in the second. Orlando
Cepeda drew a lead-off walk and advanced to second on Tom Haller's single to
center. Jim Davenport followed by laying down a sacrifice bunt, moving the
runners to second and third. Hal Lanier followed with a sacrifice fly to
left, giving San Francisco the two-run lead.
Meanwhile, Giants starter Gaylord Perry shut the Orioles out for three innings,
but that came to a quick end in the bottom of the fourth. Boog Powell
started things off by dropping a base hit into center field. Brooks
Robinson followed by lacing a double into right-center field, advancing Powell
to third. Sam Bowens then lined a single to right, scoring Powell to cut
the lead to 2-1 and sending Robinson to third. Norm Siebern followed by
lining a single to right. Robinson scored to tie the game and Bowens raced
around to third. Charlie Lau capped the fourth inning scoring with a
sacrifice fly to left, and Bowens gave the Orioles a lead they wouldn't
relinquish when he touched home plate. Perry escaped further trouble, but
the damage had been done.
Baltimore still led 3-2 when the game moved to the seventh inning and the Giants
had their best chance to move back in front. With one out, Willie McCovey
hit for Perry and grounded a single through the box before being replaced by
pinch runner Jose Pagan. Harvey Kuenn lined out to second, but Matty Alou
singled to center, putting the go-ahead run on base for Mays. Orioles
manager Hank Bauer replaced Roberts with Dick Hall and the move worked as Mays
flied to right to end the threat.
The Orioles then blew the game open once and for all in the bottom of the
seventh. Facing Bob Shaw, who had been so ineffective in his attempt to
close out Game 1, the inning began with Dick Brown's lead-off single. Luis
Aparicio then drove a base hit to center, putting runners on first and
second. Jerry Adair's sacrifice was the first out of the inning but moved
the runners to second and third with Powell due up. San Francisco manager
Alvin Dark had Shaw walk Powell intentionally to load the bases for Brooks
Robinson who made the Giants pay by ripping a double down the left field line,
scoring Brown and Aparicio to put the Orioles ahead, 5-2. Bowens then iced
the game with a double of his own into the left field corner, scoring both
runners and upping the Baltimore advantage to 7-2. That was it for
Shaw--possibly for the remainder of the Series--but the horse was already long
out of the barn. Billy O'Dell came on and avoided further damage but it
was too late. The lead was five runs with only two innings to play.
Hall pitched the rest of the way for the Orioles, allowing only a meaningless
two-out single to Haller in the eighth, to preserve the win for
Roberts. Powell, Robinson and Bowens--the heart of the Baltimore
order--were a combined 8-for-11 with three doubles, a walk, five runs scored and
five driven in.
The Orioles are now on the cusp of a World Series championship and will go for
the sweep tomorrow against a seemingly demoralized Giants team at Memorial
Stadium with a Game 1 rematch--Juan Marichal for the Giants, Milt Pappas for the
Orioles--on tap.

Game 4 at Memorial Stadium: Marichal vs. Pappas
McCOVEY'S PINCH BLAST EXTENDS GIANTS' SEASON
Marichal Fires CG
BALTIMORE, Oct. 11 (AP) - With their backs against the wall the San Francisco
Giants rose to the occasion, eking out a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in
Game 4 of the World Series at Memorial Stadium. The win trims Baltimore's
lead to 3-1 in the Series with Game 5 on tap tomorrow.
For the fourth time in as many games, the team that scored first lost the
contest. After the Giants wasted Tom Haller's one-out triple in the top of
the second, the Orioles pushed across a run in the bottom of the inning against
San Francisco starter Juan Marichal. Sam Bowens grounded a sharp single
right between Marichal's legs with one out and then scored without a throw when
Norm Siebern followed with a double into the left-center field gap.
The Giants had a chance to get on the scoreboard in the fourth when Orlando
Cepeda and Haller ripped consecutive singles with one out, but Orioles starter
Milt Pappas retired Jim Davenport on a foul pop to Siebern at first and ended
the threat by inducing Hal Lanier to pop up to second baseman Jerry Adair.
The game was decided in a dramatic sixth inning. With one out in the top
of the inning, Jim Ray Hart reached on an infield single. Cepeda walked,
putting runners at first and second and Pappas fanned Haller for the second
out. Davenport was due up next, but with runs at a premium in this game,
San Francisco manager Alvin Dark called upon Willie McCovey to pinch hit.
Pappas worked ahead 0-2 but then made a huge mistake, hanging a breaking ball
and McCovey made him pay by blasting a three-run home run over the wall in
straight away center field. Just like that, the Giants had a 3-1 lead.
The bottom half of the inning was just as consequential. With two outs and
the bases empty, Brooks Robinson lined a double--his fourth of the Series--to
left-center. Sam Bowens followed with a two-bagger of his own to
right-center, scoring Robinson to cut the Giants' lead to 3-2. The
left-handed Siebern was next and a meeting at the mound ensued. The Giants
chose to pitch to him and nearly regretted it as Siebern hit a sharp line
drive--right at second baseman Hal Lanier.
The Giants missed a chance to add to their lead in the eighth when Haller
bounced into an inning-ending double play with runners on first and second.
The San Francisco lead held up into the ninth. With Marichal still on the
hill, Bowens led off by rapping out his third hit of the contest, a single to
center field. The bullpen was active for the Giants and Dark made another
mound visit, but wary of his relief corp's shaky performance in the preceding
games, decided to sink or swim with his ace. Marichal rewarded that
decision, retiring Siebern, Charlie Lau and Jackie Brandt to end the game with
the tying run on base.
The Giants had avoided the sweep and lived to fight another day. The Game
5 match-up features Bob Bolin for San Francisco opposing Wally Bunker for
Baltimore.

GIANTS FORCE RETURN TO SF; OUTLAST O'S IN 11
Another Key PH for McCovey; Haller Plates
Game-Winner
BALTIMORE, Oct. 12 (AP) - The San Francisco Giants continued to fight their way
back into the World Series, squeaking past the Baltimore Orioles in Game 5, 2-1
in 11 innings, at Memorial Stadium. The victory returns the Fall Classic
to the West Coast with the Orioles' lead down to three games to two. After
three unexpectedly high-scoring contests, the last two games of the Series have
been what most observers expected from the beginning: close, low-scoring
affairs.
Game 5 remained scoreless into the fourth inning when the Orioles continued an
unbroken trend from Game 1: the team that scores first loses. Both
starters--Bob Bolin for the Giants and Wally Bunker for the Orioles--pitched
well, but with one out in the bottom of the fourth Bolin fell behind Norm
Siebern 2-0 and the Baltimore first baseman jumped all over a fastball, sending
it over the wall in center field to put the Orioles on top, 1-0.
Bunker mowed down the Giants throughout. After surrendering a harmless
two-out single to Willie Mays in the first, San Francisco went hitless until the
the seventh inning. With one out, Orlando Cepeda reached on an infield
hit, but was stranded at first when Bunker retired Tom Haller and Jim Davenport
to end the frame.
Bolin retired eight of nine Orioles after the Siebern home run, but began to
struggle with his control for the second straight start. With one out in
the bottom of the seventh, he issued free passes to Jackie Brandt and
Bunker. Luis Aparicio grounded to short, with both runners advancing, and
then Bolin walked Jerry Adair--the sixth base on balls of the game allowed by
Bolin--to load the sacks with two outs. That brought Boog Powell to the
plate and put Giants manager Alvin Dark in a serious quandary. His team
was down a run late in the game and facing elimination. His bullpen had
been, to be generous, extremely shaky in the Series to this point and his
starting pitcher was having all kinds of control problems and apparently running
out of gas with the opponent's most dangerous hitter at the plate and nowhere to
put him. Dark decided to pull the trigger and replaced Bolin with
left-hander Billy O'Dell and was rewarded when O'Dell retired Powell on a ground
ball to second to end the inning.
In the top of the eighth San Francisco finally dented the scoreboard. With
one out, Willie McCovey pinch hit for O'Dell and reached base for the third time
in four Series plate appearances, lacing a double into the right field
corner. Jose Pagan pinch ran for McCovey, representing the tying
run. Harvey Kuenn followed by lining Bunker's first pitch into the
left-center field gap, scoring Pagan and knotting the game at one. With
Matty Alou due up and Willie Mays on deck, Orioles manager Hank Bauer
reluctantly lifted Bunker and replaced him with southpaw Harvey Haddix.
Haddix retired Alou on a fly ball to right, with Kuenn advancing to third, and
then walked Mays intentionally. Further damage was avoided when Jim Ray
Hart bounced into a fielder's choice to end the inning.
The Orioles appeared poised to regain the lead in the bottom of the frame when,
facing reliever Jim Duffalo, Brooks Robinson led off with his fourth double of
the Series. But Sam Bowens struck out, Siebern was walked intentionally
and Charlie Lau ended the threat by rolling into a double play.
The Giants had a chance to take the lead in the tenth when, facing Dick Hall,
Pagan stroked a one-out double to right-center field. But Kuenn followed
by lining out to second baseman Jerry Adair who doubled off the stunned Pagan.
In the 11th, with Hall still pitching for Baltimore, the Giants broke the
tie. Alou led off the inning with a single to right-center and Mays drew a
walk, putting runners at first and second. Hart popped out to second and
Cepeda flied to right, with Alou advancing to third. Haller fell behind
Hall, 1-2, but poked at a low, outside sinker and flipped it into shallow left
field for a base hit, scoring Alou with the tie-breaking run. For the
first time all day, the Giants had a lead.
Bob Hendley retired the Orioles in order in the bottom of the 11th to preserve
the victory. In all, the Giants bullpen redeemed itself by tossing 4 1/3
innings of shutout relief.
The two teams will return to San Francisco tomorrow before squaring off in Game
6 at Candlestick Park on October 14. Robin Roberts of the Orioles will
face off with the Giants' Gaylord Perry.

Game 6 at Candlestick Park: Roberts vs. Perry
O'S SECURE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, SQUEEZE PAST GIANTS 2-1
Haddix, Hall, Miller Combine for 3 1/3 Hitless
Innings
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14 (AP) - The Baltimore Orioles won the 1964 World Series
with a narrow, hard-fought 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants in Game 6
at Candlestick Park. The Orioles won the contest despite accruing only
three hits on the afternoon. The Baltimore bullpen was key, firing a
combined 3 1/3 innings of hitless, shutout relief to close out the game.
Orioles starter Robin Roberts picked up the win but was in and out of trouble
frequently before being lifted with two outs in the sixth inning. Gaylord
Perry struggled with his control and was charged with the defeat despite
pitching six generally effective innings for San Francisco.
For the first, and only, time in the Series, the team that scored first won the
game. The Orioles scored all of their runs in the second inning and the
rally didn't begin until two outs had already been recorded. Charlie Lau
doubled to right-center field and Jackie Brandt was walked intentionally so that
Perry could deal with Roberts. But, in a moment that will likely long be
remembered by Giants fans, Perry missed with a 3-2 pitch to his
counterpart. The walk filled the bases and gave Luis Aparicio a chance to
bat. The Orioles shortstop didn't waste his opportunity, drilling a 2-1
pitch from Perry through the hole into left field for a base hit, scoring both
Lau and Brandt to give Baltimore a 2-0 lead.
The Orioles came close to extending their lead in the fourth. Norm Siebern
led off by drawing a free pass and was sacrificed to second by Lau. Brandt
flied to deep left field, allowing Siebern to move to third. With Roberts
again at the plate, Perry bounced a pitch in the dirt that got away from catcher
Tom Haller. Siebern tried to score, but Haller located the ball and fired
to Perry covering the plate, cutting down the sliding Siebern to end the inning.
Jim Ray Hart led off the bottom of the fourth with a single, but was immediately
erased when Orlando Cepeda bounced into a double play, Aparicio to second
baseman Jerry Adair to Siebern. Haller drew a two-out walk but Roberts
struck out Jim Davenport to end the inning.
The Giants finally broke through in the bottom of the fifth. Hal Lanier
doubled off the base of the left field fence and moved to third when Perry's
bunt attempt went for an infield hit, putting the tying runs on base with no
outs. Harvey Kuenn lifted a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Lanier and
cutting the Orioles' lead to 2-1. Matty Alou flied to center but Willie
Mays drew a walk, pushing the tying run into scoring position. Hart,
however, struck out on three pitches for the third out.
The Giants had another great scoring threat in the sixth. Cepeda grounded
a single to left to open the frame and Haller followed by drawing a walk,
putting runners at first and second. Davenport dropped down a beautiful
sacrifice, moving both runners into scoring position with one out for
Lanier. The infield was back, so even a routine ground ball would have
tied the game, but Roberts struck out Lanier on a high fastball for the second
out. Perry's spot was due and Giants manager Alvin Dark summoned Willie
McCovey, who had been his secret weapon off the bench in the Series, to the
plate as a pinch hitter. Orioles manager Hank Bauer had several
options. He could walk McCovey and take his chances with Harvey Kuenn and
the bases loaded. Or he could face McCovey, either with Roberts or he
could go to the bullpen. At this point, though he'd been very effective,
Roberts had surrendered seven hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. Bauer
came to the mound and called on left-hander Harvey Haddix to deal with McCovey.
With the count 2-2, McCovey popped up a Haddix breaking ball. Aparicio
made the grab for the final out of the inning.
In the bottom of the eighth, with Dick Hall on the mound, Kuenn drew a lead-off
walk, but Alou rolled into an around the horn double play to squash the
threat.
The score was still 2-1 as the game moved to the bottom of the ninth as the San
Francisco bullpen--Jim Duffalo, Ron Herbel and Billy Pierce--had held Baltimore
hitless for three innings. Stu Miller came on to pitch for the Orioles and
faced Duke Snider, pinch hitting for Davenport, to open the inning. Miller
worked ahead 0-2 and then plunked Snider with a pitch to bring the potential
winning run to the plate. Speedy Jose Pagan pinch ran for Snider and moved
to second when Lanier dropped down a perfect sacrifice. That brought Del
Crandall to the plate to pinch hit for Pierce. He took a strike and then
guessed fastball. He got it and hit a sharp line drive that Adair speared
moving to his right. He beat Pagan, who had taken a step toward third,
back to the second base bag for a double play, ending the game and the
Series. The Orioles celebrated as a sellout Candlestick crowd stood in
silent, stunned disbelief.
After three uncharacteristic games to open the Series, the rest of the contests
resorted to form. Only 11 total runs were scored in the final three
games. Ultimately, five of the six games were decided by one run or in
extra innings (or both) in what ended up being the highly competitive Series
that had been widely anticipated.
The Orioles' Brooks Robinson, who hit .333 with six extra base hits, scored five
times, drove in five runs and played flawless defense was named the World Series
MVP.
