The New York Yankees evened the World Series at a game apiece yesterday with an 8-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on rookie Mel Stottlemyre's seven-hitter.
Stottlemyre and the Cards' Bob Gibson staged a pitching duel until a disputed call helped the Yanks break a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning. With a man out and Mantle on first, umpire Bill McKinley ruled that a Gibson pitch had hit Joe Pepitone. The Cardinals protested that the ball had hit Pepitone's bat first.
A single by Tom Tresh promptly scored Mantle, and the Yanks added two more in the next inning to make it 4-1. The Cards made it 4-2, but a ninth-inning homer by Phil Linz, followed with hits by Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and Pepitone, and a sacrifice fly by Tresh, put the game out of reach.
The teams take a day off today to travel to New York. The third game will be played Saturday at 1 p.m. with the Cards' Curt Simmons (18-9) opposing Jim Bouton (18-13).
