Game four...Cardinals 8 Houston 5

Series tied two two and both teams now have a road win giving the Cardinals the home field advantage again...

Houston had their way in the 6th and 7th innings scoring dive runs off Cardinals starting pitcher George Friend.

6th Inning Bucky Ludwig led off with a solo homerun. Carey singled and scored on a ground out by Wally Johnson put St. Louis ahead 2-0.

7h inning... Pinch hitter Joel Edwards hit a two run homerun off heretofore a steady reliever in John Marion and Sugar Loman gave up a double to Andy Benton and advanced to third on a ground out. He scored on a sac-fly by Carey.

5-0 Houston. Things looked good for Houston a five run lead. Ray Valdez pitched a strong six innings before falters in the 78th. (Valdez 6.2 3 hits 0 runs 3 walks and 5 strikeouts.) After getting the first two outs of the inning, Valdes walked Turley and Powell to bring on Harry Otten doing a great in the bullpen during this series. Otten struck out Tim Zahn.

Ed Schrom took over in the 8th inning and the roof fell in for Houston with the Cardinals scoring eight runs on seven hits.

Schrom struck out Roger McBride to start the inning. Don White singled to center field. Charles popped out to thrid base..two outs...Schrom walked Tommy Panther. Charley Williams doubled to center field. White and Panther scored (one run).

Carlos Rizzo took over and walked Pete Crompton...Turley and Powell kept things going singles... Powell's single drove in Williams and Crompton (three runs). Anderson drove in Turley with another single...McBride singled in Powell and White doubled in the final two runs for what would be a 8-5 surprise FINAL
