Tick!
The sound went unheard by
Batter Willie Mays. but Um-
pire Ed Sudol detected the
slight collision of bat and ball
and that turned out to be the
key play of last nights key
game in which the Giants wal
loped the Dodger, 11-2.
The San Francisco victory in
the opener of the important
three-game series before a
CandleStick Park crowd of 40,-
304 trimmed the Dodgers Ma
tional League lead to AZ games
over the second-place Giants.
The series continues today
with the Giants Billy Pierce
(10-3) facing Don Drysdale
| Gid.
ROSebOrO Drops Ball
Mays came to bat in the
sixth inning with the score
tied, 20. The count went to
80. Johnny Podres fired,
Mays swung-and thinking he
had missed started toward the
dugout although Catcher
Johnny Roseboro had dropped
the ball.
Sudol ruled it a foul tip.
Mays returned to the batter's
box and stroked a double.
An obviously miffed Podres
stamped around on the mound,
then came a few steps off to
begin a war of words with
Sudol. Dodger Coach Leo Du-
rocher hustled out to calm the
lefthander and wound up in
an argument with Sudol.
| Durocher was elected and
PodreS was bombed. The Giants
poured in six runs and went
on to the easy triumph behind
the five-hit pitching of Billy
ODell.
Elsewhere in the MI, third
place Cincinnati used Frank
Robinson's two homers for an
8-4 triumph over the Nets;
Warren SPAIN got victory No.
321 as Milwaukee edged Hous-
ton, 7-6; st. Louis defeated
Philadelphia, IA, and the Cubs
topped Pittsburgh, 7-6.
Mays, who went into the
game hitting .146 against the
Dodgers. got the Giants rolling
with his 35th home run in the
first before triggering the play
that unsettled PodreS t9-8). A
walk followed, then singles by
Felipe Alou, Jim Davenport and
Tom Haller. Ed Roebuck took
over, issued another walk, then
was touched for a two-run sin
gle by ODell and a double by
Harvey Kuenn. ODell Q4-10)
survived a shaky start, hurting
no-hit ball over the final five
innings.
Robinson triggered the Reds
victory over the Nets, hitting
homers in the first and fourth
while starting a four-run third
inning uprising with a double.
That was the only hit of an in
ming marked by an error, two
walks, a stolen base and a late
throw home. Frank Thomas
and Marv Throneberry ac-
counted for the New York runs
with homers off Jim Maloney
(6-4, who hurled a six-hitter.
AL jackson ;6-14 was the loser.
Aaron PAGES Braves
Hank Aaron paced the
Braves, rapping three singles,
stealing two bases and scoring
three runs in support of SPAIN
Q2-1D, who needed relief help
from Don Nottebart and Claude
Raymond. Eottebart came in
when the Colts tagged the Al
year-old SPAIN for three runs
in the sixth-two on Roman
Mejias' 22d homer. Joe Adcock
hit No. "a for the Braves. The
defeat was charged to former
Brave George Brunei ODD.
The Cardinals ran their win
ming streak to four and ex-
tended the Phillies' losing
string to eight with a three-run
seventh inning rally that
snapped a 3-3 tie. Singles by
Ken Boyer, Gene Oliver, Charley
James and Pitcher Bobby
Shantz plus an interference call
on Catcher Clay Dalrymple did
the damage. Shantz (4-2)
picked up the victory in relief
with Chris Short (5-D taking
the loss.
The Cubs and Pirates dashed
out 27 hits before a ninth-in-
ming double by Ken Hubbs and
Billy Williams single sent the
winning run across for the
Cubs. The Pirates had tied it
in the top half of the inning on
an error and berto
Clemente's double - his third
hit of the game. Barney Schultz
(5-5) won it with Roy Face
