As a die-hard Cardinal fan, I was looking at their website instead of watching this pathetic game.

Anyway, I notice that on August 10th, 1995 (I was in college, and mad at baseball from the strikes) the Cardinals had a forfeit win at Dodger Stadium.

They don't explain why. Do any of you know what happened?

The St. Louis Cardinals were awarded the first forfeit victory in the Major Leagues since July 12, 1979 after fans bombard the field with more than two-hundred balls that they had received as souvenirs for August 10th's "Ball Day" at Dodger Stadium. The near riot was in reaction to the ejections of Raul Mondesi and manager Tommy Lasorda in the bottom of the ninth.

The Cardinals are awarded a 2-1 victory by forfeit over the Dodgers at "Ball Day" at Dodger Stadium. In the bottom of the 9th, Raul Mondesi strikes out and is then ejected for arguing the call. Tommy Lasorda gets thumbed as well when he joins the discussion. With that, the fans bombard the field with more than 200 balls they had received as souvenirs and the umps order the Cardinals into the dugout. It is the 1st forfeit in the major leagues since July 12, 1979

The miracle of Google:

"After fans hurled their souvenir baseballs onto the field for the third time during the game, umpires decided to forfeit the game to the Cardinals with one out in the Dodgers' ninth. It was the first forfeit in the National League in 41 years."
