European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 22, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse Ortday August 22, 1968 the stars and stripes Page 21 How often does a Pitcher win both ends of a double header i. Probably not too often. But How often does a Pitcher do it twice i in a single season and for two different clubs to Boot we d guess fat the Odds Are pretty High High enough we d not care to guess at let alone tabulate. T Chicago cub bullpen Ace Phil Regan turned the trick this Yearick counting for four of his 10 victories in just two Days. Phil s first double coup came on april 21 for the dodgers who Rcpt the new York mets 7-6 and 3-2. He hurled the ninth inning in f the opener and cashed in As his males scored two times to offset the run he had Given up in the top of the inning. Then in fee Nightcap he worked 4 1-3 frames giving up six hits but Only in run making him 2-0. R two clays later he was traded to the cubs who since that timer Lave Cut a pretty warm Swath through no opposition until a recent jump. Then july 7, the 6-foot-3, 200-Poundcr did it again while the i indy City club was sweeping Pittsburgh 5-4 and 4-3. Big Phil i aided in with two out in the ninth to Cut off a pirate rally which had tied the game and Leo Durocher s Crew won it in the Tom of the ninth. In the Nightcap Regan worked two innings inning three and his mates obliged by tying the game in the i Tom of the eighth and winning it in the ninth. Trio Phil is just one of three no relievers having quite a year for Cir respective clubs. He Ron Kline of the pirates and Cincinnati s de Abernathy have chalked up 29 victories Between them and Allire under the 2.00 Era Mark. Abernathy started sensationally Ivind until he lost his effectiveness briefly in mid july and Earl August his Era had been about 0.50. It might be interesting to note that the same Section of the Rule Irp ook that once raised quite a fuss when san Francisco right hander Juan Marichal picked up his 17th Victory in 1966 also helped re Gan add one to the win column. Only no one raised an Eyebrow Regan Abernathy Marichal Kline Hen Phil picked up the Triumph or when Abernathy should have at did not three weeks earlier. In fact the Case for Abernathy was even More Clear than Forpe giant Ace. The Rule specifically no. 10.19 c-4 exception states pot credit a Victory to a Relief Pitcher who pitches briefly ineffectively if a succeeding Relief Pitcher pitches effectively a coping to maintain his team in the Lead. In such a Case edit the succeeding Relief Pitcher with the Hie Rule appears to to have been created to Reward the pit Cherbo does the most toward helping his team win rather than Auto aurally crediting the Pitcher of record. Regan picked up his fourth Victory Over the St. Louis cardinals free scoring 10-8 contest june 29. He worked the last three a is giving up two hits and an unearned run. The Pitcher of Ord had recorded Only a single out finishing up the Cardinal just before the cubs exploded for six runs to put it away. Free weeks before Abernathy had been a similar situation turned in an even better performance. Bill Mccool had been a neg but not too effectively. He gave up two hits two walks three earned runs in two innings but just happened to be in Ere at the five inning Mark and the reds were ahead. It Abernathy came on to get Mccool out of hot water and ingate up two hits in 3 1-3 shutout innings. He got Little More Pattie exercise though it appears that the exception Rule could i As Well have been applied there. For Marichal the Case of Marichal for those who might not remember an entered the game his first and Only Relief appearance i the year with two Down in the last of the eighth against wets with the winning run on third. He took Over for Fred Jay who had Given up one run the giants had scored three be eighth to go ahead 5-3 and was in trouble.
