Deron Johnson slammed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the St. Louis Cardinals
outscored the Pittsburgh Pirates 6 to 4.
Johnson was a one-man wrecking crew. He smashed a solo-shot out of the park
in the 2nd inning, smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 8th of the
season) in the 4th inning and doubled which was good for two runs in the 6th
inning. Pittsburgh had 11 hits in the game while St. Louis had 6, but St.
Louis had the more timely hits.
The winning pitcher was Bob Locker(4-2) who allowed 2 runs in 1 and 2/3
innings. Dave Sells earned his 2nd save. Ramon Hernandez(2-2) was the loser
in relief. He was knocked around, surrendering 4 runs in 2 innings.
'It's almost like the ball was trying to hit my bat,' Johnson said. 'Whenever
I would swing, the ball found the sweet spot.'

One run was the difference at Busch Stadium as the St. Louis Cardinals
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 to 3.
Bob Gibson(5-6) pitched well enough to earn the win. He allowed 11 hits and 3
walks in 7 innings reducing his ERA from 4.03 to 3.81. Pittsburgh had a
chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
Gibson got relief help from Bob Locker who gained credit for his 7th save.
Ken Brett(4-10) was the loser. 'Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals'
said Darren Dawson after the game. 'We lost this game tonight because we
didn't follow the instructions every Little Leaguer hears every day.'
