Bob Gibson has reached double figures in wins in my replay. He is one win ahead and one loss behind, his real-life pace. With the scored tied at one all, the Pirates played their infield back in the seventh, with one out, hoping for a double play. Dal Maxvill scored on a Curt Flood groundout, for another close game win for Gibby. In real life, this was the last of Gibson’s five consecutive shutouts.
