The Cardinals won their ninth Series and the fourth straight by a National League team with three runs in the sixth inning of the decisive seventh game, on RBI hits by Hernandez and Hendrick and the seven-hit pitching of Joaquin Andujar and Bruce Sutter The Cards pounded 15 hits. They were the speed-oriented Cardinals — a replica of Her zog's three American League West Division champions in Kansas City, with perhaps a little less power. They were the Mississippi riverboat gamblers, unafraid to risk the present for the future either in the front office or on the field Eight of the 25 players on the World Series roster were not on the team when Herzog became manager before the 1981 season, including Andujar and catcher Darrell Porter, vot ed the Series’ Most Valuable Player after going 8-for-28 with one home run, two doubles and five RBI Perhaps the most daring of them all was Andujar, who came back from a painful leg injury to pitch seven innings for his second victory of the Series He was not perfect, but he had help, and he made the big pitches when it was necessary Sutter pitched the last two in nings for his second save Sutter retired Gorman Thomas for the last out on a strikeout with the crowd shouting "Bruce, Bruce " When the lights were turned on at Busch Stadium Wednes day night, they shone on a new era of baseball in St Louis, which had been in 12 previous World Series And the lights shone brightly on Hernandez, whose sleeping bat awoke in Game 5 after going 0-for-16, and who finished with a Series-high eight RBI The lights also shone on Hendrick, who had nine hits in the Series and drove in the win ning run Wednesday night, capping the Cardinals' rally in the sixth They shone brightly on Dane lorg, whose nine hits as a de signated hitter tied two other players for the World Series record And they shone brightly on Herzog These Cardinals inevitably will be compared with Gas House Gang, St. Louis' 1934 World Series champions featuring Dizzy Dean, Ducky Medwick and Pepper Martin This was not a mean, spikes high team like that outfit of 38 years ago — Herzog had called this a "lady's game" with no brushbacks and no beanballs — but the Cardinals nevertheless were world champions for the first time since 1967, when they beat the Boston Red Sox in seven games The Brewers trailed 1-0 as St Louis clawed for a run in the fourth inning but caught up on Andujar's first pitch in the fifth Oglivie hit a drive into the lower deck in right field, and there were murmurs of doubt among the vocal crowd of 53,723 Was Andujar really fit to pitch? With one out in the seventh inning of Game 3, Mil waukee's Ted Simmons hit a one-hopper oft Andujar's right shin, forcing the pitcher out of the game after giving up only three hits Before Wednesday night’s game, Andujar, a tough Domin ican, had said: No big deal, I no get killed ” He was, indeed, very much alive. In the sixth inning, the Brewers took a 3-1 lead, scoring one run on a throwing error on Andujar and another on a sacrifice fly by Cecil Cooper But the Cardinals came roaring back in the bottom of the inning to retake the lead and chase Milwaukee starter Pete Vuck ovich With one out, Ozzie Smith singled and Lonnie Smith fol lowed with a double, bringing in left-hander Bob McClure, who had saved Games 4 and 5 Gene Tenace pinch-hit for Ken Oberkfell and walked, loading the bases Mike Ramsey ran for Tenace, a star of Oak land's championship teams in the early 1970s, then Hernandez singled in both Smiths to tie the score as the crowd — many in Cardinal red and white — rose to its feet Hendrick then singled in Ramsey for the go-ahead run Then they turned things over to Sutter, who had two saves and a victory in the Series, and the Cardinals added two insurance runs in the eighth on RBI singles by Darrell Porter and Steve Braun The crowd was on its feet as Sutter worked to Gorman Thomas with two outs in the ninth and the bases empty. The count went to 3-2, and Thomas — who tied for the major-league lead with 39 home runs this season — fouled off three pitches before striking out swinging
