Brown's Tom Niederer hit a triple and Skenderian knocked in two runs a single, but a bobbled grounder, a missed cutoff, slow jumps on fly balls, had throws to wrong bases tell better the story of those two innings...

Never slowing down, Mays rounded first, streaked for second, and slid in safely amid a cloud of dust. Moments later, Willie McCovey slapped a single to right, and Mays scampered home with the run that gave the Giants their 13th straight...
