Miley BB CD 1968 World Series Game 5
Called by Jack Buck and Pee Wee Reese

Mickey Lolich again pitches 9 innings for a victory.  In the fifth, Lou Brock doubles, Julian Javier singles for an apparent run, but Willie Horton makes an incredible defensive play to nail Brock (who decides not to slide) at the plate.
