Vic Davalillo gets two hits during the seventh inning of the Cardinals’ 10-7 comeback victory over San Diego at Busch Stadium

On June 7 1970 — At Busch Stadium Vic Davalillo of the St. Louis Cardinals, pinch-hitting for Bob Gibson, gets a record-tying two hits in the 7th inning of a 10 – 7 win over the San Diego Padres. St. Louis scores seven runs after San Diego had built a 7 – 1 lead against Gibson. Davalillo assumes he receives credit for two pinch hits, and that his 23rd pinch hit on August 31 ties the record of Dave Philley. Davalillo will finish the year with 24 pinch safeties, but a rule difference between the American League and National League will cost him a pinch hit today.
