This Day in Braves History: July 8

1965 - The Braves beat the Astros 9-8 in 12 innings. Mike de la Hoz hit a pinch-hit homer in the eighth, tied the game in the ninth with a single and then singled and scored the winning run to end the game. Joe Morgan became the first Houston player to have six hits in a game.

1967 - The Braves fall to Tom Seaver and the Mets 3-2. An odd play occurs when Bud Harrelson drops a hit over third base which is touched by a fan before Rico Carty can field it.
