Miley BB CD 1963 Cardinals-Mets 6/7
Called by Lindsey Nelson  Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy

Ron Taylor retires the first batter in the ninth, and is just two outs away from a shutout victory.  But the lowly Mets don't quit.  They scrape together a pair of baserunners, and aging Duke Snider wins the game with a dramatic home run.
