CUBS STRIKE WITH TWO OUTS IN 10TH TO BEAT MARICHAL, GIANTS
Monday, July 28, 1969
The Giants looked like they’d won this game with a run in the top of the 10th inning, but then the Cubs struck back for two in the bottom of the frame to send the Wrigley faithful home happy.
With the score tied 2-2 after nine, Willie Mays singled in Bobby Bonds for the go-ahead run. It could have been worse but Rich Nye came on and got Ken Henderson to ground into a bases-loaded double play, third to catcher to first, to end the inning.
Starter Juan Marichal, still going in the tenth inning, retired the first two Cubs batters and was just one out away from victory. But Willie Smith walked and then Don Kessinger, Glenn Beckert, and Billy Williams all singled to score the tying and winning runs.
Bill Hands had started for Chicago and gave up just 2 runs in 8 2/3 innings.
Cubs 4, Giants 3 (10 inn.) W: Nye (2-4) L: Marichal (13-6)
