For 10 innings, Steve Carlton and Don Drysdale battled to a stalemate, as the 1968 St. Louis Cardinals and the 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers found themselves scoreless and struggling. Drysdale allowed 7 hits in those 10 innings, but the Cardinals only got into scoring position twice. The Dodgers never did against Carlton, who held LA to just 3 hits. In the 11th, Lou Brock led off with a single against Dick Calmus and stole 2nd. When Johnny Roseboro’s throw sailed into center field, the speedy Brock moved to 3rd with no outs. Roger Maris singled him home, giving St. Louis a 1-0 lead. Joe Hoerner came in to close the game, despite Carlton pleading to keep the ball. The gamble failed right away. After Ken McMullen grounded out, Moose Skowron singled. Lou Walls pinch hit for Roseboro and blooped another single past the infield. Willie Davis was 0 for 3 and hitting below .100 in the Tournament, but he drilled one into the corner. Maris’ throw in was too late, as Walls beat the throw to the plate to win it on the walk-off triple. The Dodgers take a 2-1 series lead into Game 4.
