ST-1965 California Angels at 1965 Houston Astros

1965 California Angels-5
1965 Houston Astros-8

A spring training exhibition match between 2 teams who never met head-to-head in the regular season saw the 65 win Astros defeat the 75 win Angels in what had the makings of an early blowout. Despite an early lead from a Vic Power opening frame homer, the Astros batted around in the bottom of the 1st and plated 6 thanks in part to a Jim Wynn 3 run bomb and a Lee Maye triple. Jim Wynn added another run in the 4th after a Rusty Staub RBI single to right, and in the 7th Staub gave himself a run with a homer. Down 8-1 and with Robin Roberts looking solid on the mound for the ‘Stros, the Angels looked to be doomed to defeat, but in top of the 8th after a walk, base hit, and error on Astros second baseman Joe Morgan, Buck Rogers (in the 25th Century) crushed a 1-0 curve for a grand slam. Their inning and game ended after that without another hit. The Angels lose with 5 runs on 8 hits and 1 error while Houston captured the win with 8 runs on 13 hits and 2 errors. Going 3 for 3 with 3 RBI’s, 2 runs, a stolen base, and a homer, Jim Wynn makes the easy choice for player of the game.

The big bats came out in this extra innings affair between 2 offensive powerhouses. The Yanks looked on their way to a rout in the top of the 1st and 2nd innings as they jumped out quickly to a 6-0 lead.

After the 3rd, New York still led by 2, 7-5, after a triple by Boyer in the top of the inning and an error on Kubek in the bottom half. In the 8th, the Phillies tied it up with 2 runs scored by Mike Schmidt and Jay Johnstone, and both teams remained knotted at 7 at the end of regulation.

RTUP-1929 Philadelphia Athletics at 1927 New York Yankees

1929 Philadelphia Athletics-3
1927 New York Yankees-2

It was a solid pitchers duel in the big apple between 2 offensive juggernauts with some 9th inning magic that made all of the difference. In the first 7 innings only the Yankees were able to get on the board with a run. Earle Combs, after a leadoff triple, made his way home on a Lou Gehrig single. The score remained 1-0 until the Athletics tied it up in the top of the 8th. A 2 out single from Mule Haas tied up the game after he drove Max Bishop home. Philadelphia finally took the lead after Jimmie Foxx hit a 3-0 fastball out of the park with Al Simmons standing on 1st base. The Yankees, in the bottom of the inning and with plenty of batters reaching, could only manage to cut into the A’s victory by 1 run ending the game down 3-2. Jimmie Foxx gets the game ball going 2 for 4 with 2 RBI’s on the game winning home run. The Athletics win with 3 runs on 7 hits and no errors. The Yankees lose with 2 runs on 7 hits and no errors as well.

GTS-1962 Los Angeles Dodgers at 1942 St. Louis Cardinals

1962 Los Angeles Dodgers-7
1942 St. Louis Cardinals-8

A messy scorecard, thanks to a record setting combined number of hits for both teams, saw the 1942 Cardinals eek out the victory despite a late surge by the Dodgers. After Johnny Hopp scored on an RBI double from Marty Marion in the second put the Cardinals into an early 1-0 lead, the Dodgers scored 2 on a Tommy Davis double in the 3rd. St. Louis scored 1 run in their halves of the 4th and 5th inning before L.A. tied up the game at 3 in the top of the 6th. In the bottom half of the inning however, the Cardinals tallied 4 runs take the lead 7-3. Another St. Louis run from a solo homer in the bottom of the 7th gave them a 5 run lead. The Cards let their foot off of the gas as the Dodgers made it 8-4 in the 8th, and then a 3 run bomb from Ron Fairly brought Los Angeles within 1 run of tying up the game. Cardinals closer Howie Pollet closed out the contest with a fly to left and a groundout to first. The Dodgers lose with 7 runs on 13 hits and no errors. St. Louis wins with 8 runs on 16 hits and 1 error. Johnny Hopp snags the ball for the game’s best performance as he goes 3 for 4 with 3 runs scored as well as catching the final out of the game.
