Game 67 - Tuesday Night, June 25th in Philadelphia
Record - 29-38, 5th Place, 10 1/2 games behind the Expos
One Sentence Summary: Jerry Koosman assumed ace of the staff status with this three-hit complete game performance against the Cardinals as the Phillies won, 3-1.
What It Means: Koosman had a few solid performances left in the tank over the next few months of the 1985 season, but this was his last great game. The game took a little over two hours to complete.
What Happened: Koosman allowed three hits and the lone Cardinals' run was unearned due to a pair of Rick Schu errors on the same Ozzie Smith ground ball in the second. Schu booted the ball and then threw it away. The Phillies scored all three of their runs in the third courtesy of a bases clearing double from Glenn Wilson. The hit gave Wilson 50 RBIs for the season.
Featured Card: As mentioned above, this was the last great game of Koosman's 19-year career. He had 10 more starts ahead of him before his left knee landed him on the disabled list and ended his big league career.
