WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Ollie Brown robbed Tommy Helms of an extra base hit.
 
Ray Sadecki(9-8) thrilled the fans at Crosley Field as he crafted a no-hit
masterpiece against the Cincinnati Reds.  The San Francisco Giants won by a
final score of 1 to 0 in 11 innings.
 
The game was a scoreless tie after nine.  San Francisco won the game in the
11th inning.  Hal Lanier laced a one-base hit.  One out later, Sadecki was
the next batter, but he struck out.  Jesus Alou then was walked
intentionally.  Ty Cline stepped in and he stroked a single, and an error was
also committed, scoring the run.  San Francisco finished with 7 hits in the
victory.  
 
Billy McCool(7-7) absorbed the loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and 2
walks in 1 inning.  'You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery
than this happening,' said Sadecki, 'I don't expect it to sink in for
awhile,' he said. 'I'm numb right now, I'm overwhelmed.'

1967 AL Game: Det. @ Min.

 September 1, 1967

  The 1st place Detroit Tigers came into Minnesota today for a 3 game series against the 3rd place Twins. 2nd place Boston had already won today so the Tigers needed a Win to stay a game ahead of the Red Sox.

  It was a see-saw battle between the teams and Detroit practically emptied their bench before winning in the 10th inning 6-5. An Al Kaline homerun, his 25th of the season, was the difference in the game where the lead changed 5 times. The Tigers had tied the game up in the top of the 9th, scoring 2 runs, to send the game into extra innings. A 2-out Don Wert pinch hit single off Al Worthington, who was 9-1 in relief this season, tied the game in the 9th. Fred Gladding pitched a scoreless final 2 innings for Detroit and got the Win.

TEAM RISP- Tigers: 2 for 12  Twins: 4 for 14
 
30,153 fans were treated to a fine game at Metropolitan Stadium as only one
run separated the combatants at game's end.  The Detroit Tigers won by the
slimmest of margins, 6 to 5.
 
The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings. Detroit won the game in the
10th inning.  Al Kaline smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly'.  It was roller
coaster of a game as the lead change hands 5 times.  
 
The victory was credited to Fred Gladding(6-2) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Al Worthington(9-2) was the loser in relief.  He gave up 3 hits and no
walks in 1 and 1/3 innings.

NL 1967 Standings and League Leaders

 September 1, 1967

  We're entering the final full month of the 1967 MLB season. The Chicago Cubs are still in 1st place in the NL. But the Cubbies are still in a heated pennant race with at least 5 teams hot on their tail. The San Francisco Giants were a league best 20-10 in August and are only 2 GB Chicago. Pittsburgh is in 3rd place and the 4th place St. Louis Cardinals, though they continue to struggle after going 15-17 in August, are still only 6 games back. Their pitching is the best in the league but their offense continues to struggle. This last month should prove to be a very exciting one in the NL.

  Looking at the NL League Leaders, Houston's Jimmy Wynn's name jumps out at you immediately. You don't expect to see it there but he's putting up amazing numbers in HR (44) and RBI (121). No one else is even close in those 2 categories. Pittsburgh's Matty Alou still leads the NL in hitting with a .363 BA. Atlanta's Hank Aaron (35 HR, 45 RBI) and Chicago's Ron Santo (28 HR, 107 RBI) both have to be mentioned, as well as Cincinnati's Tony Perez (27 HR, 95 RBI) for the fine seasons they're having.  

  Chicago's Fergie Jenkins and Philadelphia's Larry Jackson lead the league in Wins with 19. San Francisco's Juan Marichal (15-10) has the top ERA (2.16) and the Phillies Jim Bunning leads in K's (212).
