Yes Cardinals baseball was on Sunday on WPSD-TV Paducah back then.Cardinals feed.
 
According to Shrp Sports, the game was in Houston and the Astros won 7-6.

I believe that after the early 1950's, it was not until the 1980's that St. Louis (baseball) Cardinals home games were locally televised in the City By The Gateway Arch. I don't know for sure, but it's possible that in the early years of TV in St. Louis, KSD may have been able to televise some Cards' home games, but once it became practical for local stations to to originate away games of local professional teams, the Cards probably barred KSD (or anyone else) from carrying home games and made whoever was the flagship station carry only away games (likely to avoid cutting into the gate).

According to the February 28th, 1972 issue of Broadcasting, ten MLB teams carried only away games. A few others (Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Kansas City) televised only a very occasional home game. KSD, according to that article, KSD only televised 25 away games that year.
 
The NHL Stanley Cup playoff game on CBS that day was in fact Game 1 of the Finals with Boston hosting the New York Rangers.

Boston won it 6-5 on a late third-period goal.

CBS carried three games of that year's Finals: Games 1, 4 (which like Game 1 was on a Sunday afternoon), and 6 (in prime time on a Thursday night where Boston won what would be their last Stanley Cup championship until 2011).

Ironically, Boston could have wrapped-up the title in five games, but CBS opted not to carry Game 5, although it could have been the last one (the Rangers won to force a sixth game)
 
7:30 Gospel Singing Jubilee (Les Beasley welcomes the Singing Rambos)

When I was a little boy, I used to lipsynch to my parents' Rambos 8 track. Still love me some Gospel music. I even have a picture of me with Les Beasley.
