The league ERA was going lower, so a game like this was inevitable. Billy Williams and Don Kessinger had 4 hits each, Williams 3 doubles.

In another matchup of future 300-game winners, we almost got a triple play and a no-hitter! Haller's single in the 8th was LA's only hit. Cleon lined to center in the 1st for the triple play

In 1970, the NL had 9 hitters with double 1s. Since this was my first set, I thought that was normal. It might be, now, but in the early 70s, I don't think it happened a lot. I think there were only 5 in 1973, counting players with 350+ PA.

Reds' bullpen betrayed them as Braves scored 7 runs off relievers. Felix Millan scored 4 times on 2 doubles, a single and a walk.

Cardinals got 4 hits, 3 by Brock. Cards are having backup infielder problems, as Javier seems to have been hurt trying to stretch a single. Kennedy, Ramirez, and Crosby playing.
October 3, 2025 at 3:51 AM
The double play by the Yankees makes me think that APBA ( and other games) should have a play where the two fielders are both judged for their talents. Maybe a result where the shortstop is charged with an error unless the 1B is a Fielding One. Or both infielders have to be, to get the DP.

Astros turned a triple play on Crawford's low liner to center in the 7th. As Walt Alston said, "It kinda took us out of the inning".
