After defeating the '49 Cardinals the '66 Giants had a huge challenge: who do they elect to be the big game starter ? Since Marichal went against STL and both Perry and Bolin were tired the choice went from Ray Sadecki, Bob Priddy or Ron Herbel. As it turned out all 3 of them go to pitch in this game and each one yielded 3 runs to the light hitting Dodgers, who crushed the Giants.Los Angeles banged out 12 runs on 18 hits and never had to worry. Dodger starter Don Drysdale gave up 5 in almost 6 innings of work, but he did not need to have his A-game to win this one. Bob Miller threw the final 3 1/3 of shutout ball to nail it down.
Maury Wills had 3 hits and 3 RBI's. Tommy Davis had 3 hits as well. Jim Lefebvre had 4 hits and 2 RBI's including one long ball.
LA wil now head to Chicago to take on the 2003 Cubs in the NLDS.
Boxscore: 66 Los Angeles Tops 66 San Fran 12-5
