On a day that Willie Mays went 0-5, the rest of the 1962 San Francisco Giants picked up the slack, scoring 9 runs against the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates to take Game 1 of the Winner’s Bracket series. After Dick Stuart and Willie McCovey traded solo home runs early, the Giants broke out against Bob Friend, taking advantage of Dick Groat’s error in the 5th inning to score 4 runs, thanks to a 2-run single by Orlando Cepeda and a 2-run double by Felipe Alou. Fred Green came in with two men on and walked the 1st two batters he faced in the 8th. McCovey added a 2-run single to put the Giants up 9-2. Jack Sanford scattered 9 hits in his complete game win, retiring the last 12 batters he faced. McCovey’s home run was his 5th of the Tournament, putting him in the lead. He finished the game 4 for 5. The Giants have now won 4 straight.
