The National League defeats the American League 3-2 behind the pitching of the Philadelphia Phillies’ Curt Simmons and the Chicago Cubs’ Bob Rush at the Phillies home stadium, Shibe Park. The game is called after five innings because of rain, and Hank Sauer’s home run with Stan Musial on the bases in the fourth proves to be the deciding run.
