Carl Hubbell allowed all 4 LA runs in the 4th inning. Johnny Mize hit a grounder with 2 men on and seemed to be thrown out at 1st, but McCovey was ruled to have pulled his foot. As McCovey argued the call, both base-runners scored. But the Dynamos wouldn&#8217;t score again. Drysdale seemed to be cruising until the fateful 7th inning. The Wizards batted around with 5 hits and 2 walks, capped by a 2-out double by Larry Walker and the go-ahead RBI single from Stan Musial. It was a familiar ending for LA, who has lost 7 straight games and 10 of their last 11. They trailed the Wizards by just 2 games at the beginning of that stretch. Now the Wizards will look to secure home-field advantage in the final 6 games of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=766\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles @ St. Louis &#8211; 5\/24\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dynamos starter Don Drysdale took a 5-hit shutout into the 7th, but watched his 4-0 lead evaporate as the St. Louis Wizards scored 5 runs, clinching a trip to the World Series with their 5-4 win.
