WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Randy Hundley blocked the plate, saving a run!
Dave Giusti cracked 3 homeruns and scored 4 times and he completed the game
without help from the bullpen at Wrigley Field as the Houston Astros belted
the Chicago Cubs by the count of 13 to 2.
Giusti was a source of great heartache for the Chicago faithful all day. He
just kept pounding out hits! He blasted a solo shot in the 2nd inning, hit a
bases-empty home run in the 3rd inning, lined a base-hit in the 7th inning
and ripped a solo home run in the 9th inning. Houston dominated offensively
as they scored in 6 different innings.
Giusti(4-1) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Ray Culp(4-1) took
the loss. He surrended 4 homeruns in his 2 and 2/3 innings.
'The ball was jumping off my bat' Giusti said. 'I didn't do anything
differently, it's the same way I always approach the game.'
