Week 10 Summary (06/12/1967 - 06/18/1967)

Week Ten of the 1967 BBW Replay is in the books, and what a week it was. There are a few teams with 58 or 59 games played, but most of the league has passed the 60-games-played mark. This means after a few more weeks we will be very near to the halfway point of the season, so it is coming quick.

The highlight of this past week was not one no-hitter, but two no-hitters, the second and third of the replay. Mickey Lolich started the week off on Monday with the first of the two no-hitters, this one over the Twins. Willie Horton smacked a three-run homerun in the sixth and Lolich shut down the hometown Twins, allowing three walks but no hits.

 


Following Lolich's no-hitter on Monday, Philadelphia starter Rick Wise no-hit the Braves on Tuesday. The twist in this game was that even though Wise had thrown nine innings of no-hit ball,  the game was still undecided because Phil Niekro had thrown eight innings of one-hit ball. In the bottom of the ninth, after one out John Briggs drew a walk, and then Dick Allen stroked a two-run homerun to secure the win and to secure the no-hitter victory for Wise.

 


Exciting stuff! The Red Sox are still holding onto the lead in the American League as Carl Yastrzemski has been on a tear, picking the Red Sox up and carrying them on his broad back. Atlanta has held on to its lead in the National League by dint of their strong pitching in conjunction with more than sufficient power and hitting. Both teams have maintained their leads, but neither is running away with anything, and there are plenty of teams nipping at their heels and looking to move up. Let's go play some games and let's see what is going to happen.

Game One, Wednesday, October 4, 1967   St. Louis 7 Boston (H) 1 St. Louis got the scoring started with two runs in the fourth, but it was their three runs in the fifth that essentially locked up Game One for the Cardinals. Two Red Sox errors opened the door in the fifth, and then a big two-run single off the bat of Mike Shannon was the key hit. Now armed with a 5-0 lead, Bob Gibson (1-0, 1.00) ended giving up eight hits, but only alk3ed one and struck out eight batters as he went all the way for the win.   Game Two, Thursday, October 5, 1967 St. Louis 6 Boston (H) 2   Boston took a 2-0 lead with single runs in the first and third innings, but it looked like that might be enough as Jim Lonborg (0-1, 4.91) held St. Louis to only one hit through the first six innings. In the top of the seventh, Lonborg got two outs and then walked the Cardinals' seventh and eighth-place hitters before getting out of the inning. Lonborg stayed in the game, but in the eighth a...

Week 16 Summary (07/24/1967 - 07/30/1967)

Week Sixteen of the 1967 BBW Replay is in the books, and it was another exciting week of 1967 baseball. The week ended with six doubleheaders played on Sunday, sixteen games in all, and half the teams have reached or passed the 100-games-played mark. The other half are all at 98 or 99 games played, so it won't take long to get everyone to that mark.  In the AL, Boston just had its ten-game winning streak ended, which corresponded neatly with the last few days of second-place Baltimore and third-place Detroit struggling along without Frank Robinson and Al Kaline . Both Robinson and Kaline have recently returned to active duty, but Boston ended the week with a 7.0 games lead over Baltimore and an 8.5 games lead over Detroit. Luckily for Detroit, they have a 9.5 games lead over the fourth-place Chicago club, so they don’t have to worry about being caught from behind, but August games begin this coming Tuesday, so if either of these teams has intentions of capturing the AL pennant, ...
