New York Mets vs St. Louis Cardinals - Clincher - Radio Broadcast / On Sunday, October 4, 1964, the St. Louis Cardinals hosted the New York Mets at Busch Stadium I. The Cardinals' starting pitcher was Curt Simmons, a seasoned left-handed veteran who had been a key part of the team's rotation throughout the year. On the mound for the Mets was Galen Cisco, a right-hander who had struggled at times during the season. The Cardinals were in the midst of a tight pennant race, while the Mets, only in their third season, were still finding their footing in the league. The game held significant implications for the Cardinals, who were vying for a spot in the World Series. Meanwhile, the Mets were looking to play spoiler and finish their season on a high note.
The game started off as a pitcher's duel, with both teams failing to score in the first inning. However, the Cardinals broke the deadlock in the second inning, and the game quickly became a back-and-forth affair. The Mets' Charley Smith hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, and the team added two more runs in the fifth. The Cardinals responded each time, with key hits from their lineup, including doubles from Tim McCarver, Dick Groat, and Ken Boyer. The Cardinals' offense really took off in the sixth inning, with a two-run home run from Bill White, and they added three more runs in the eighth to pull away from the Mets.
In the end, the Cardinals triumphed with an 11-5 victory over the Mets, a crucial win in their pursuit of the pennant. The Cardinals' win, along with the Philadelphia Phillies' loss on the same day, clinched the National League pennant for St. Louis, marking their first return to the World Series since 1946. The win also highlighted the depth of the Cardinals' lineup, with multiple players contributing key hits. The 1964 season was a memorable one, with the Cardinals eventually defeating the New York Yankees in the World Series, while the Mets, despite their loss in this game, continued to build their team, culminating in a World Series win just five years later in 1969.
