Baseball History -- June 23

Complete entry for June 23 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entry:
1984
At Wrigley Field‚ in game that will be known as the Sandberg game‚ the Cubs Ryne Sandberg goes 5-for-6 with game-tying home runs off Cardinals relief ace Bruce Sutter in both the 9th and 10th innings. He drives in 7 runs to lead Chicago to a 12-11 win in 11 innings. It is the first time Sutter has given up two HRs to the same batter in the same game. Dave Owens' base-loaded single wins it. Willie McGee hits for the cycle and drives in 6 runs in a losing cause.

HERE is the retrosheet box score for that game.
