Game 1: 17-3, Game 2: 0-4, Game 3: 1-0, Game 4: 9-1
SUMMARY: The Cardinals took three of four from Pittsburgh, getting solid starting pitching in each game. The Cardinal offense was impressive in games one and four, piling up 26 runs in those games. They were shutout by Jerry Reuss in game two, and had to manufacture a run in game three to beat Ken Brett 1-0 behind Al Brazle. The three wins put St. Louis in the hunt for a post season berth. Turning point: The 1-0 win in game three. The only run was scored on a single by Schoendienst, a stolen base on a busted hit and run, a sacrifice, then a run scoring single through a drawn in infield.
Series MVP: The Cardinal starters as a group. They kept the club in all four games.
