1969 World Series Game 4




October 15, 1969

In danger of being swept in the World Series, the New York Mets won a dramtic 11 inning game against the Baltimore Orioles 5-4. The Mets trailed 3-1 going into the bottom of the 9th inning when the drama began. Ed Kranepool (pictured) pinch hit for Donn Clendenon and hit a 1 out, 2 run homerun to send the game into extra innings. Baltimore scored a run in the top of the 10th but New York battled back to score a run and tie it up again in the bottom of the inning. After holding the Orioles scoreless in the top of the 11th, the Mets Wayne Garrett batted with 2 outs and doubled home Kranepool with the game winning run. The fans went wild in New York and the Mets have new life in this series. Tom Seaver will start for New York tomorrow and Dave McNally gets the start for Baltimore.

50,494 fans were treated to a fine game at Shea Stadium as only one run


separated the combatants at game's end. The New York Mets won by the


slimmest of margins, 5 to 4.





Both teams had scored 3 runs after nine full innings. Finally, New York


prevailed in the 11th inning. After an out was recorded, Ed Kranepool


doubled. One out later, Jerry Grote stepped up to the plate and he was


walked intentionally. Wayne Garrett then doubled resulting in an exciting


win for New York and a wild post-game celebration by the home town fans.


Both teams finished the game with 9 hits.





The victory went to Tug McGraw(1-1) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. Dick


Hall(0-1) was the loser in relief. He pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up 2


hits and 1 walk.
