Torre Sees Cards Rally Yet Trail Pirates By Six
Joe Torre, NL leading hitter, believes the St Louis Cardinals can overtake the Pittsburgh Pirates with 19 games left after a twin bill sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies. Torre went 8 for 11 in the opener and 3 for 4 in the nightcap as St Louis survived a late Philly surge. The Cardinals trailed 5-3 in the bottom of the ninth before Lou Brock and Torre sparked an 8th-9th rally, tying the game and sending it to extra innings.
