Semifinal Games 3, 4 and 5Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1960kp/1960ps/standings1.htmlHighlights: Toledo vs. Portland - TOL leads 3-2 Terrific pitching remains the common theme in the Hens/Beavers match-up, with the teams combining for a total of 19 runs in 5 games.

Toledo committed 3 errors in the game, all leading to runs for Portland. Game 4 matched up game 1 starters Vern Law and Bob Friend in a tightly contested duel. They matched their 1-0 game 1 performances, this time with Friend getting the upper hand thanks to a complete game 1 run victory. Toledo's fielding let them down again in game 4, with 2 of the 3 runs allowed by Law ending up unearned. Friend helped his own cause, driving in the 3rd run of the game for the Beavers. Game 5 was filled with excitement as both teams gave it their all to take the series lead, and it took extra innings to determine the winner. The teams went into the 10th inning tied 3-3 when the Hens rallied to plate the go ahead run. Vada Pinson led off with a single and then swiped second base, Minnie Minoso advanced him to 3rd on a base hit, and then Roy Sievers lined a double in the gap to score Pinson. Portland's Gerry Staley came in from the pen and shut down Toledo to keep the game in reach. In the bottom of the inning, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Yost, and Bill Skowron loaded the bases with 1 out to set the table for Pumpsie Green. Green couldn't deliver in the clutch, grounding out into a game ending home to 1st double play. Denver vs. Montreal - DEN leads 3-2 Denver promptly took home field advantage back from Montreal in game 3, with a decisive 4-2 win. The Bears jumped out to a 4 run lead early in the game thanks to a 2 run HR by Jim Gentile and held the Royals scoreless into the 9th inning. Montreal tried to mount a late rally, getting a 2 run blast from Roger Maris in the 9th, but fell short leaving runners on 1st and 2nd with the final out was squeezed. The Bears extended the series lead in game 4, in dramatic fashion, squandering a 3 run 9th inning lead. The Bears scored in bunches on HRs by Mickey Mantle and Dick Williams who combined for 3 HRs, 5 RBI and 3 RS. The Royals weren't ready to go quietly though and rallied in the 9th for 2 runs only to come up empty by a single run. Facing elimination in game 5, Montreal struck quickly and often in a game that was over just after it started. The Royals Willie McCovey and Ted Williams each blasted 2 HRs and combined for 6 RBI in the 7-0 victory. Ernie Broglio pitched a dominating 2 hitter for a complete game shutout win.
