Post by larrysiegfried20 »

PITTSBURGH 4 MONTREAL 3

13 INNINGS
Pittsburgh is 5-1 in extra innings...Montreal is now 3-4.

Montreal fell into a three way tie for 5th place with this loss with Atlanta and Brooklyn, all at 2023, five games in front of last place Chicago 15-28.

Pittsburgh went ahead 2-0 in the 2nd inning. Ira Barkley tripled and scored on a ground out to shortstop Jim Kay by Jody Iorg. Bert Yancy, Dan Berra and Juan Knowles put three singles together for the second run.

Montreal began to chip away at that lead using the long ball. Rich Bero (1st) hit a solo homerun in the 5th to make it 2-1. Then trailing by the same score in the 8th inning Nick Boyer's (6th) two out solo shot off Jose Mathews tied the game 2-2.

John Ramsey's double in the 9th finished Mathews and Harry Nieson came in to give upo a sac-fly to Irv Wise that put Montreal ahead 3-2.

Montreal closer Al Odom blew the save opportunity in the bottom of the 9th. Barkley hit his secoind triple of the game and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Iorg, to almost repeat the first inning.

Pittsburgh won it in the 13th on a bases loaded walk to Greg Newfield that forced home Carl Zauchin.
