Best Answer

Sal Maglie started the game; however, when he gave up two runners to lead off the top of the 7th inning the Giants manager, Leo Durocher, replaced him with the left hander DON LIDDLE. It was Don Liddle who served up the pitch to Wertz who hit the ball that Mays caught in deep center field.
