Phi 3, Mil 2 (10 inn); Mil 6, Phi 4

Sunday, May 24-- The Milwaukee Braves shocked the Philadelphia Phillies with four runs in the top of the ninth inning of the nightcap of a doubleheader, returning the favor from the first game, in winning 6-4 and earning a split of the twinbill at Connie Mack Stadium.

In the first game, the Phillies scored twice in the ninth inning to tie the game, then won it in the tenth inning, 3-2.

In the second game, the Braves roughed up reliever Jack Meyer in the ninth inning on three hits and three walks to score four times. Frank Torre's two-run double was the big blow.

The stunning comeback was payback for what the Phillies (16-22) did in the first game.

Braves starter Joey Jay was cruising along, pitching a shutout heading into the ninth inning, his team ahead 2-0. Jay had only surrendered three hits to that point.

But the inning quickly unraveled. Pinch-hitter Dave Philley led off with a walk. Richie Ashburn singled Philley to second base. Chico Fernandez sacrificed the runners along. After an intentional walk to Ed Bouchee, struggling Wally Post delivered a two-run single to tie the game. Jay got out of the inning with no further damage.

The Braves (18-18) went 1-2-3 in the tenth, then Sparky Anderson led off the Phillies' half with a single off reliever (and loser) Bob Rush (0-3). Joe Lonnett sacrificed Anderson to second. Harry Hanebrink was intentionally walked, but Ashburn laced a single to right field that scored Anderson without a throw.

Both Jay and Gene Conley went nine innings in the first game but each got a no decision.

Humberto Robinson (3-1) got the win in the first game, while Milwaukee's Juan Pizarro (2-0) was the winner in the nightcap. Meyer (0-1) took the loss in Game 2.
