Rusty Staub plates Joe Morgan for a Astro walk off win – Full Radio Broadcast
On August 13 , 1965 — At the Astrodome Rusty Staub singles home the game-winner in the ninth to slip past New York, 3-2. In the typical fashion of those early Met teams, they couldn’t stand a 2-0 lead and let the winning run on base when two Mets collide under Joe Morgan’s pop fly.
Both starters Jack Fisher and Don Nottebart both go the distance. Fisher was a the hard luck loser.
Nottebart tosses a complete-game six-hitter.
