Whitey Herzog of the Cardinals seemed upbeat while Tom Kelly of the Twins appeared less confident. Herzog noted his club rallied from deficits to gain the edge, while the Twins faced scrutiny over road performance and punch from the Fab Four as the series moved to Minneapolis.
Minnesota faces St. Louis in Game 6 at the Metrodome after their devastating Busch Stadium sweep. John Tudor starts for the Cardinals against Twins rookie Les Straker. If needed, Danny Cox could start Game 7 for St. Louis while Frank Viola would pitch the Twins’ seventh game. The Series so far favors the Cardinals on home turf, with St. Louis tying a 1907 record by stealing five bases and the home team winning every game so far.
Prairie defeats No. 4 Linn-Mar 21 12 at Armstrong Field to share the Mississippi Valley Conference crown with Dubuque Wahlert and earn a Class 4A playoff berth.

Linn-Mar, 6-2, will open 4A playoffs at Washington.

Other qualified teams include Riverside Highland, La Salle Cedar Rapids, Cascade, Solon, Sigourney, Wapsie Valley, West Liberty, Benton Community, and Decorah.
Alburnett sustains a late miscue that led to a safety and a 16 to 15 loss for Center Point, while Alburnett misses a playoff berth and Center Point finishes atop the Tri-Rivers race as Tom Bach guides the Pointers to a postseason berth with a 7 1 record.
Iowa coach Hayden Fry announces a series of lineup changes for the Purdue game.
