Sizemore Inside-the-Park Hero For Cardinals In 13 Inning win
Ted Sizemore delivered a dramatic inside-the-park RBI double that scored the go ahead run in the 13th inning as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Mets 3 2. Relievers Tug McGraw and Diego Segui shuttled the game, while Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver battled in a tense back and forth duel. Cleon Jones was banged up but tried to field the ball, and Sizemore explained his late swing as luck and timing. Jones said he would have told the manager if unable to play.
