Flood’s error costs Floods record as Cubs top Cardinals
Cardinals lose 5-4 to the Chicago Cubs. Curt Flood extends his NL record with 206 straight errorless games but misplays a routine fly on Don Kessinger’s hit, turning a potential inning-ending out into a hit and giving Chicago the win. Mike Shannon homered twice to tie the game 4-4 in the ninth before Clarence Jones doubled for the Cubs. Rain shortened the day with Atlanta also winning.
