Cards take 2 of 3 from Bucs

The ’61 Cardinals kept their good season going by winning the first two games of a three game set against the 1969 Pirates, before Dock Ellis and company shut them out in game three.

Game two looked to go to the win column for Pittsburgh, with a one run lead and

two outs in the ninth. But that magic man came to the rescue again, as Gene Oliver drove a fastball over the pavilion roof in right center for his second walk-off home run of the season.

Fire balling youngster Bob Gibson went the distance in the opener, throwing a 2 hitter and collecting 2 hits of his own in a 6-1 victory.
