Giants (Red Ames 2.68) at Pirates (Elmer Steele 2.67)

New York    1  3  2
Pittsburgh  2  6  0

W - Steele    L - Crandall


Pittsburgh's George Gibson scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the third on a single by Bobby Byrne.

Fred Snodgrass led off the top of the fourth with a triple and then scored on Red Murray's grooubd out.

That was all the scoring until the 10th. Chief Wilson doubled off of reliever Doc Crandall. Crandall retired George Gibson on a grounder to short. Newt Hunter, pinch hitting for Steele, delivered a two out single to bring home Gibson with the winning run.

Both pitchers were very effective despite racking few strikeouts.

1972 Munich - Men's 400 Meters Finals

Vince Matthews           USA  43.89   GOLD

Wayne Collett            USA  44.20   SILVER

Julius Sang              KEN  44.24   BRONZE

Charles Asati            KEN  44.61

John Smith               USA  44.78

Horst-Rüdiger Schlöske   FRG  45.05

Markku Kukkoaho          FIN  45.20

Karl Honz                FRG  46.19

This was a very fast race. Matthews' real life time was 44.66, but here the top four finishers all bettered that.

Matthews' time of 43.89 was just a hair behind the Olympic and World Record of 43.86 set by Lee Evans at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.

Before the race I rolled to see if John Smith would finish and what his rating would be. Here were the possibilities: 1-4 he does not finish, 5 he finishes using his original C rating, 6 he finishes using a B rating. He rolled a 6 - the best possible outcome for him. Unfortunately, he got off to a slow start from which he could not recover.
