Tuesday, July 29, 1969

Willie Mays tripled in the go-ahead run and then scored an insurance run in the seventh inning as the Giants beat the Cubs.  Chicago starting pitcher Jim Colburn lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits and 1 walk.  Bobby Bonds had 3 hits and scored twice for San Francisco.  Frank Linzy got the win after pitching 4 shutout innings out of the ‘pen.  Ron Santo and Don Young collected 2 hits apiece for the Cubbies. 

Giants 4, Cubs 2.  W: Linzy (9-6)  L: Abernathy (4-3)

Greetings from Rob

Thanks for visiting my web site! Throughout 2009, I'll be turning back the clock by 40 years to revisit key events from that exciting year of 1969. Keep checking back for updates to my blog on 1969: The Year Everything Changed, as well as stories related to my new books on Bruce Springsteen and baseball star Cecil Travis.
