Pepitone Emerges as Yankee Scapegoat in Dodgers Sweep
Dodgers sweep the Yankees as Bill Skowron redeems himself with a .385 series batting average while Joe Pepitone endures a costly error. Pepitone blamed himself for a pivotal miscue as Clete Boyer made a sparkling stop and Gilliam scored on a misplayed ball. Skowron’s late-series surge contrasts with Pepitone’s rough finish amid celebrations and somber Yankee dressing rooms.
Pepitone misplay fuels Dodgers win in seventh game
Joe Pepitone let a ball through his hands allowing Gilliam to reach third and score on Willie Davis’s sacrifice fly as the Dodgers beat the Yankees in the deciding game. Koufax struck out eight to lift his series total to 23, a record for seven games or fewer. It was only the second Dodgers victory over the Yankees in eight post season classics, the prior one coming in 1955 when Brooklyn was the opponent.
