July 18, 1964: The Cardinals Put The Mets Away With an 11 Run Eighth

On July 18, 1964, the wheels fell off the bus for the New York Mets in the bottom of the eighth at Busch Stadium, they came into the frame up 6-4, then four errors and three consecutive home runs led to 11 runs for the Cardinals as they cruised to a 15-7 win over the lowly Mets. Ken Boyer, Bill White, and Tim McCarver provided the power in the inning with the back-to-back-to-back home runs, Boyer's long ball was a grand salami.
