The first million is supposed to
be the toughest but those first
20 aren't exactly a snap either.
Ask Sandy Koufax.
The frustrated Dodger south
paw, still looking for the first 20
game season of his career, has
come right down to the wire
twice now only to wind up with
a big handful of nothing.
Well, not exactly nothing. I
The Dodgers did come on to
beat the Braves, 2-1, Sunday and
fatten their National League lead
to 6'j games over both the Card
inals and Giants, so Koufax
wasn't complaining.
But it did hurt a bit to come
within one out of his 20th victory
and his 11th shutout without
achieving either.
Koufax had a three-hitter and
a 1-0 lead until the ninth when
Eddie Mathews doubled and then
Gene Oliver doubled with two out
to tie the score.
Manager Walt Alston decided
to bring in Bob Miller at that
point, and after Miller retired the
side without further damage he
picked up his ninth victory when
Doug Camilli singled home t h e
winning run in the bottom of the
ninth with the bases full.
Koufax now has allowed only
two runs in the last IB 2-3 innings.
yet does not have a victory to
show for it.
He held the Cardinals to one
run last Wednesday and left that
game with the score tied 1-all
alter 10 innings. The Dodgers won
it in the 16th. 2-1.
Houston beat St. Louis. 3-1, Cin
cinnati out-lasted San Francisco,
8-7, Philadelphia downed Pitts
burgh 4-2, in 11 innings and Chi
cago defeated New York, 3-1, in
other NL games.
