...hits off Cushmore, but Princeton's output was particularly embarrassing in view of their 13-8 pasting of Brown the day before. The two hits--a line shot into right by Cushmore and a bunt by Biondi--came consecutively in the third, but McCandlish retired the side on a strikeout and a popup...
...sacri fice, steal third, and come home on a fly ball.") But just the night before, the Dodgers had won their twelfth straight game, as Sandy Koufax shut out Cincinnati on two hits, 5-0, running his own season's record to 25-8 and recording his 369th strikeout-a major league record. Now it was Don Drysdale's turn, and Don quickly made it 13 in a row, throwing only 89 pitches, blanking the Milwaukee Braves on three hits, 4-0 for his 23rd victory of the year...

It is so good, in fact, that he has a chance to become the first pitcher since Dizzy Dean...
...Milwaukee Braves Pitcher Warren Spahn, slipping a fast ball past Los Angeles Relief Pitcher Bob Miller, got his 2,382nd strikeout, setting a new major-league record for a lefthander. The old record, held by Rube Waddell, had stood since 1910. Spahn went on to post his 14th win of the season, against only five losses. "You always think about records being set with a big, dramatic act," he said afterward. "Instead, I get the pitcher on a called strike. But I'll take it." Other records he has taken: more wins (341), more shutouts (56), more 20-game...
