The 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers put together two big innings against Jack Sanford and the 1962 San Francisco Giants, holding on to win 7-6 and take a 2-0 series lead. Willie Davis led off the 3rd with a walk before four straight base-hits gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead. Willie Mays and Willie McCovey hit back-to-back solo home runs against Don Drysdale in the 4th to cut the lead in half. But in the 5th, Frank Howard came up with two men on and hit a massive 3-run homer to make it a 7-2 game. The Giants took advantage of a Maury Wills error in the bottom of the inning to get those 3 runs back. After Harvey Kuenn led off the 7th with his own solo shot, the LA lead was just a run. That was as close as they would get. San Francisco failed to get another runner into scoring position until the 9th. Ron Perranoski, on to close out the game, collected three outs on dribblers back to the mound to end the game. Kuenn finished 4 for 5 to lead the San Francisco offense. Mays’ solo home run was his 3rd of the series. Drysdale allowed 10 hits, but struck out 8 to pick up the win. Wills was caught stealing twice in the game. The series heads to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers hope to complete the sweep in front of their home crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
