Semifinals Games 1 and 2Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1960kp/1967ps/standings1.htmlHighlights: Montreal vs. Vancouver – MON leads 2-0 Montreal grabs back home field advantage with back to back series opening wins in Vancouver, 8-5 and 3-0. In game 1, Vancouver took a 5-3 lead into the 8th inning, only to watch the Royals rally for 4 runs in the 8th and a security run in the 9th. The big hits coming in the 8th for the Royals on back to back extra base hits from Ted Savage and Rusty Staub. Game two was an equally disappointing loss for the Mounties thanks to a 9th inning rally to break open a 0-0 pitchers duel. Frank Howard delivered the game winning hit, a 3 run HR to seal the victory for Montreal. The Mounties closer Jack Lamabe took the loss in both games for Vancouver. Louisville vs. Hawaii - LOU leads 2-0 Louisville followed Montreal's lead in the South semifinals, sweeping the Islanders to erase the Hawaii's home field advantage. Both games were closely contested, with the scores of 3-1 and 5-2. Louisville grabbed an early lead in game 1 off of the bats of Joe Morgan, Jim Northrup and Carl Yastrzemski's hits in the 2nd inning. The 2 runs were enough for starting pitcher Cisco Carlos and his complete game 3 hitter. Hawaii struck early in game 2 and posted a 2-1 1st inning lead thanks to an Al Kaline 2 run HR. Those 2 runs were all that Colonels starter Dick Hughes would end up allowing, giving the Louisville offense time to climb back into the game with runs in the 7th and 8th innings to complete the sweep. The game winning runs came off of the bat of Brooks Robinson, a 3 run HR in the 8th. Post Season Game Of The Night Frank Howard delivers a 9th inning HR to complete the sweep for Montreal.Daily Recaps and League File - available on request.
