00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,600
Good evening everyone, this is Bob Gimire along with Phil Ruggiero and Frank Vespa at Yankee Stadium.
3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,000
And we're getting ready for the second game of the doubleheader between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers.
4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,200
Tigers won a rather lackluster opening ball game, but it had a little more luster on it for the Tigers than for the Yankees,
5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:30,200
because they won it by a final score of 2-1. There was no scoring in the game after the fifth inning.
6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,600
The Tigers scored first in the third with two outs, Mickey Stanley tripled and scored on a wild pitch.
7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:43,200
Yankees tied it up in the third, Jean Michael singles, Charlo Bajor sacrificed in the second, and Thurman Mungston came through with a base hit.
8
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,200
Tigers got the winning run in the fifth inning on a double by Stanley.
9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,200
They went to third on a ground ball of firsts by Kalein and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jim Nautrup.
10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:00,200
Yankees had two hits from Johnny Ellis, his last hit coming in the fourth inning, and that was the last hit for the New York Yankees.
11
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:10,200
The closest they came, the tie in the ball game, was Roy White's long line drive that Kalein loped back and caught just above the fence in right field,
12
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,200
and that was in the sixth inning, and the last ten men in a row went down.
13
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,200
As the winning pitcher was the left-hander for the Detroit Tigers, Mike Kilkenny and Mel Salomayr, the loser.
14
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:29,200
Two runs, eight hits for the Detroit Tigers, and one run and four hits for the New York Yankees in the opener of the doubleheader.
15
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:38,200
The Tigers come up with their first win at Yankee Stadium this year. The Yankees have beaten them the other two ball games, and we'll have the other game in just a little while.
16
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:47,200
Stan Vons will be the pitcher for the New York Yankees, and Joe Necrow, who pitched an outstanding ball game against the Yankees the last time he faced them out in Detroit.
17
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,200
He'll be on the mound for the Detroit Tigers.
18
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,200
We have a lineup for the second game, and we have changes for both teams.
19
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,200
The Yankees' Horace Clark will be leading off and playing second base.
20
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Jake Gibbs will bat second in catch.
21
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Bobby Rocha hits third in centerfield.
22
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Roy White, the left fielder, bats fourth.
23
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Pete Ward will be at first base in fifth.
24
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Kurt Lusbury in right field, sixth.
25
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Jerry Kenney at third base, seventh.
26
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Gene Michael at shortstop, eighth.
27
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,200
And Stan Vons will be on the mound and batting ninth.
28
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Vons has won four out of his last five starts, with McDaniel getting credit for a save in each of the four victories.
29
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,200
And tonight will be his third shot of the year against the Tigers.
30
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,200
He beats them four to one on May the 15th as he held a six-hitter, and then he had no decision against them on May the 25th.
31
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,200
He went eight innings and he allowed three runs from six hits.
32
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,200
The Tigers went in four to three.
33
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Steve Hamilton was the loser in relief on that one on a freehand home run.
34
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
For the Tigers, Dalton Jones leads off at third base.
35
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Dan Stanley in centerfield bats second.
36
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200
Gates Brown in left field hits third.
37
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200
Norm Cash, the first baseman, bats fourth.
38
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,200
And Cash did a great stop of a ground ball by Bobby Mercer in the ninth inning of the night cap.
39
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Russ Nagleton will be in right field batting fifth.
40
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Don Ward will be batting sixth.
41
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,200
Jim Price catches seventh.
42
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Susan Gutierrez, eighth.
43
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,200
And Joe Neacrow on the mound, and he'll be batting ninth.
44
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Don Ward will be the third baseman.
45
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200
So we have to change what we said about Dalton Jones.
46
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200
He will be playing second base in leading off.
47
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,200
So Jones will be the second baseman, although he has played for the most part at third base.
48
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,200
So it'll be Jones' second.
49
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,200
He better go around the infield defensively for the Tigers.
50
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Cash at first, Jones at second.
51
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,200
Shortstop Gutierrez and Ward at third.
52
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,200
In the outfield and left field will be Gates Brown, centerfield Mickey Stanley,
53
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,200
and in right field it'll be Russ Nagleton.
54
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,200
He'll be playing defense defensively.
55
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
At first base, Pete Ward at second base, Horace Clark.
56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,200
Shortstop Gene Michael at third base, Jerry Kenney.
57
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,200
In the outfield, Roy White in left.
58
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Bobby Mercer in center.
59
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:01,200
And Kirk Leffrey in right field.
60
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,200
We'll be checking the scores of the other ballgames for you, but first this message.
61
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,200
When Atlantic Richfield Company discovered oil on the north slope of Alaska,
62
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:20,200
the place we call the Arco Circle, it took 100,000 tons of supplies and equipment to get started.
63
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:31,200
It took 100,000 tons of pipes, cement, drills, gravel, pockets, gloves, cuts, heaters, tractors, ladders, radios, and orange juice.
64
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:37,200
It took planes that carry 48,000 pounds and cost $4,000 a trip.
65
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,200
It took 160 flights to set up one camp and five flights a day to keep it going.
66
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,200
It took a specially constructed airstrip.
67
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,200
In short, it took the biggest civilian airlift in history.
68
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,200
At Atlantic Richfield, we went all the way to Alaska so we can provide your local Atlantic dealer
69
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,200
with the finest Arco petroleum products for your car.
70
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:14,200
On the scoreboard, Cleveland defeated Baltimore in the first game for doubleheader at Cleveland.
71
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Four to nothing as Dean Jantz hits a four-hitter.
72
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200
That's a tough golf club to shut out in that ballpark.
73
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Baltimore has all the big power hitters and the short fences in Cleveland,
74
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,200
but the Indians did it four runs, seven hits, and one error for Cleveland.
75
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200
No runs, four hits, and no errors for Baltimore.
76
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,200
Chance the winner was seven and five, and Clay Iver lose with 15 and eight.
77
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Tony Horton got the big blow, a three-run home in the first inning.
78
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,200
That was, uh, then Greg Nellis hit one, his 17th, and that came in the sixth inning.
79
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Second game of the doubleheader, the pitchers are in, Harden against Dunning.
80
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,200
The Red Sox failed the score on the top of the first inning at Washington.
81
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,200
The speed is against Cox.
82
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Chicago beating Milwaukee seven to three, seven, eight, and oh for the White Sox,
83
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200
three, 11, and one for the Brewers.
84
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,200
The winner was Jadewski, and the loser was Downing, and Bill Melton hit home run number 20.
85
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,200
In the National League, the Giants beat Cincinnati by a score of 92.
86
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Reaver's of the winner was four and four, Washburn was starter and loser.
87
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,200
The Giants got seven in the first inning, and Noriega came on the pitch in that first inning.
88
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Tony Perez has hit home run number 32, also picked up his 100th RBI of the season.
89
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200
Frank Johnson hit home run number three with two on in the first.
90
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,200
And Willie McCovey, home run number 28, also with two on in the first inning.
91
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,200
The Giants got seven in the first, and went on to win it by a score of nine to three.
92
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Pittsburgh in a big doubleheader against the Phillies.
93
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,200
The Pirates lead the Phillies three to nothing at the end of sixth.
94
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Ellis against Bunning, that's the first of two.
95
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:51,200
The Mets at St. Louis and Chicago at once, we all later, as well as Atlanta at Los Angeles and Houston at San Diego.
96
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,200
So you're up to date.
97
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Right now on Yankee baseball, we pause for station identification.
98
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,200
This is your guy, hi agent.
99
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Join me for your kind of music, weekday, three to seven.
100
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:11,200
You're on the fresh air sound of Radio 81, WGY Schenectady.
101
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Bob Gimenez along with Frank Lester at the Polar Judo Yankee Stadium, and we're all set for the start of the second game of the doubleheader.
102
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Pam Bonson goes out to the mound to take his final warm-up.
103
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,200
Bonson has won four out of his last five starts.
104
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,200
And as we mentioned, Lindy McDaniel has gotten credit for a save in each of them.
105
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Bonson has a record of ten wins and seven losses.
106
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200
So adjusting the American League standings for what's happened,
107
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Baltimore remains in first place, now nine games ahead of the Detroit Tigers and nine and a half games ahead of the New York Yankees.
108
00:07:45,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Yankees remain nine and a half hours with a drop a notch down to third place.
109
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Dalton Jones, Mickey Stanley, and Gates Brown will be the first three batters for the Tigers.
110
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,200
Jones with a batting average of 225.
111
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,200
He has two homers, two doubles, and no triples.
112
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:22,200
Jones picks up the Boston Red Sox in the offseason.
113
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,200
The Yankees, of course, have to go up against tough Joe Necro.
114
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:34,200
He picked a one-hitter against the Yankees as the Tigers swept the three-game series back the first week in July.
115
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:46,200
It was on July the 2nd that he picked a one-hitter, Horace Clark getting the hit in the ninth inning.
116
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Horace got his hit with one out of the ninth inning that night to spoil Necro's no-hitter.
117
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:57,200
And it was the third time in a month that Horace had done that, spoiled a no-hitter in the ninth inning.
118
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:06,200
The other two times were against Jim Rooker of Kansas City on June 4th and Sonny Stuped of Boston on June the 19th.
119
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,200
Necro had one other start against the Yankees this year.
120
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,200
On May 27th, he was a losing player.
121
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,200
He gave up four runs, three of which were earned in the three and a third inning.
122
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,200
Yankees winning that one by a score of four to two.
123
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:25,200
I, John Jones, stepped in. Jones batting 225.
124
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,200
Tigers won the first one two to one. So Kenny the winner and Donald Myers the loser.
125
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:44,200
Boston into the windup. The first pitch of the second game was swung on on this strike one.
126
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,200
Boston into the windup. The next pitch to Jones. Fastball locked deep to right field.
127
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:57,200
This one way back. Clifford going back. Going way back and the ball is in the bleachers for a home run.
128
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,200
John Jones has led off the game with a home run into the right field bleachers.
129
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,200
A long line drive shot. Clifford started back, then gave up.
130
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,200
He would go back and play the ball off the scoreboard and could miss going into the bleachers.
131
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,200
He really couldn't catch it, but the ball just hit clear of the bleachers fence and goes in for a home run.
132
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,200
The third home run of the season for Jones.
133
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,200
Mickey Stanley will be the batter. Stanley with a batting average of 268.
134
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Ten homers, five triples and twelve doubles.
135
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:36,200
Boston delivers. Fastball in there for the called strike. No balls in one strike.
136
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,200
I tell you that John Jones has always given promise of being an outstanding hitter in the major league.
137
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,200
He hits a lot like that in batting practice and every now and then he connected a ball game.
138
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,200
A good line drive hitter. The pitch is low and it's one and one.
139
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,200
Tigers won on the Yankees nothing. We're on the top half of the first inning of the night.
140
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:01,200
After the Tigers won the opener two to one.
141
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:30,200
Boston winds up delivers. Curveball hitting the half hour. Out of play. First base side. One ball and two strikes.
142
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Dan Bonson taking plenty of time. Gets the sign.
143
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,200
The one two pitch of Mickey Stanley. Check swing. It's low and outside for a ball and it's two and two.
144
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:51,200
Two balls and two strikes.
145
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,200
One to nothing. The Tigers lead it.
146
00:11:53,200 --> 00:12:01,200
Bonson winds. Here it comes. Low in the dirt. It hit about a yard and a half in front of the plate. Three balls and two strikes.
147
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,200
With Dan Bonson having a bit of a problem here on the top half of the first inning.
148
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:14,200
Counts three balls and two strikes for Mickey Stanley.
149
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,200
Yankee infield as Pete Watered first. Thomas Clark at second.
150
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:25,200
Michael to shortstop. Jerry Kenny at third. In the outfield it's Roy White, Bobby Mercer and Kurt Fluffery.
151
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,200
Three balls and two strikes for Mickey Stanley.
152
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:42,200
Tigers beginning a long road trip. The wind up. The full count check. Swung on and fouled at home plate. The count holds three and two.
153
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:49,200
Three balls and two strikes. Two years ago, Dan Bonson was the American League Rookie of the Year.
154
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:56,200
He had a disappointing season last year and he bounced back this year. The full count check. Low for ball four.
155
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,200
So Stanley drops on down to first base.
156
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:13,200
And it'll bring up Gates Brown. Brown the left fielder in this ball game hitting 271. Two homers and two doubles.
157
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:29,200
So the first two Tigers have gotten on base here in the top half of the first inning.
158
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:35,200
The pitch to Brown is low for ball one. One ball and no strikes.
159
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:42,200
J. Gibbs the Yankee catcher here in the second game and Stan Bonson the fifth here.
160
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:49,200
Lifetime against the Tigers. Stan Bonson is one three and lost two.
161
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,200
Bonson checks Stanley off first. Here it comes. There it goes.
162
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,200
Line drive on the left fielder. White coming on. Coming on. He makes the catch. Ball to his knees. Gets up.
163
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Throws the ball into Gene Michael and back to first base for Mickey Stanley.
164
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,200
So Gates Brown hits it on the nose but right to Roy White.
165
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,200
One out. A runner on. A runner in. And Norm Cash to batter.
166
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Cash batting 253. 12 homers. One triple and 11 doubles.
167
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,200
Cash in the first game went 0 for 3 but he had a base on ball.
168
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:33,200
And he also had a base hit. He had a base hit in the eighth inning so he was 1 for 3 plus a walk plus an outstanding defensive play.
169
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Stan Bonson checks Stanley. Delivers a serve low and inside for ball one. One ball and no strikes.
170
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Tigers won the opener 2 to 1. They lead here by a score of 1 to nothing in the top of the first inning.
171
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,200
One ball and no strikes to count to Norm Cash.
172
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:02,200
Bonson goes for the belt. Pitch curve ball low and outside for ball two. Two balls and no strikes.
173
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Two and out of cash.
174
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Mickey Stanley with the lead off for Bonson to the belt. Here it comes.
175
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Low and outside. Three and all.
176
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,200
Three and out of cash.
177
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:39,200
The 3-0 delivery. Low for ball four and Cash throws the base on ball. The second walk off Bonson.
178
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:46,200
Down to second base goes Mickey Stanley. And out of the Yankee dugouts comes Ralph House.
179
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:53,200
House make his first appearance on the field tonight aside from bringing out the scorecards.
180
00:15:53,200 --> 00:16:06,200
Mel Stollmeyer went all the way in the opener but was a loser by a score of 2 to 1.
181
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Russ Nagelson will be the batter. He was picked up from Cleveland along with Billy Rohr in exchange for Fred Lasher and that was back on May 22nd.
182
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:28,200
Nagelson is only hitting 147. He's had one homer and one double.
183
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Nagelson on the left-handed batter. First and second and one out for the Tigers. They've got a run in on Dalton Jones' home run.
184
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:41,200
It's third of the year. As the stretch by Bonson, he delivers on the outside for ball strike one.
185
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:53,200
Two balls and one strike. 0-1 the count on Nagelson.
186
00:16:53,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Bonson goes to the bell check. The runners both have good lead. Still checking. Now he delivers. Fast ball, low for ball and it's 1-1.
187
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:11,200
On second base Stanley on first base catch. There's one out and a run in on Dalton Jones' home run. So is it always going to.
188
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Oh, that was a heartbreak of that first ball game.
189
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:22,200
It's a shame because though Mel Stollmeyer struggled in the first four innings, he came on strong. Would have been a big win.
190
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:34,200
The pitch is hit on the ground out to Horace Brock at second. Over to Michael for one. The relay to first. Not on time at first. Runners on first and third and two out.
191
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:42,200
So two outs for the Tigers. Over to third base is Mickey Stanley. Dash is the race and the fourth play. And safe at first is Nagelson.
192
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:59,200
Stanley on third. Nagelson on first. Two out and the batter is Don Wert.
193
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:23,200
Wert batting 249. First game he was 1-4. Bonson to the bell. He delivers. Fast ball foul to the screen. Strike one. No balls and one strike.
194
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:34,200
Tigers won. Yankees nothing. In the top of the first of the nightcap. First game to Detroit. Two to one.
195
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,200
Dan Bonson checks the runners off first and third. The pitch fast ball hit in the end to short right field. Bluffrey coming on. He won't get it.
196
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:51,200
It's in there for a base hit. End of score for Mickey Stanley. Over to third goes Nagelson. Bluffrey for the heart of Clark. Two to nothing Tigers.
197
00:18:51,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Still an RBI for Wert. That'll be his 24th of the season. The Tigers quickly off to a two to nothing lead and it brings up the catcher Jim Price.
198
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:23,200
Price with a batting average of 197. He's only had four RBI's but he's only been up six to one time. He's had one homer and two doubles.
199
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:37,200
Price to bat it with runners on first and third and two out. Bonson looks in to get the sign.
200
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:46,200
Dan goes to the bell. Here's the pitch. Hit on the ground. Why the third? Kenny over can't get it. Michael has it. Third of second. Out a beautiful play by Michael.
201
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:55,200
What a play by Gene Michael deep in the hole and he's been playing a fine shot stop at the ball game tonight after having a bit of a rough day he's out in flavor.
202
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:02,200
However the Tigers get two runs on two hits. No errors and two men left at the end of the half inning of the night captain.
203
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:17,200
Choice two and the Yankees coming up. Recently you may have received a new credit card through the mail. Across the top is the name ARCO. You may have noticed the name Atlantic on the card in smaller type.
204
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:27,200
This new ARCO card is the same as the old Atlantic credit card. Your new ARCO credit card is good for all the things you get at your Atlantic service station plus some new things.
205
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:36,200
When the Richfield and Atlantic merged to form the Atlantic Richfield Company it seemed to make sense to have one national credit card honored at thousands of service stations from coast to coast.
206
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:54,200
The name chosen was ARCO. This new card has lots of friends. It'll pay for your rental car at Hertz or your food and lodging at any Ramada or Treadway Inn, Hyatt House Motel, Hyatt Lodge, Travel Lodge, Friendship Inn, Hemans Walker Inns, Inc. or Superior Motel.
207
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,200
All these people now just have one name to remember. ARCO.
208
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:06,200
What'd you do? Get stuck on a name Phil? A name or what?
209
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:14,200
I can't. With my glasses I don't know what that says. It looks like P-I-R.
210
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,200
Peter Perch. That's what it is.
211
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Pretty good name for a riddle isn't it?
212
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,200
Yes it is.
213
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Like you picked a peck of pickled peppers can you say that?
214
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:32,200
No I can't. I can't even say Peter Perch.
215
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,200
Alright we're all set for the bottom half of the first inning.
216
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,200
Two to nothing the Tigers lead the Yankees.
217
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:50,200
Alright Clark set to lead it off. Yankees looking for a little bit of life now as they come to bat in the bottom of the first inning.
218
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,200
Went down quietly in the first game two to one. Hadn't had a hit since the fourth inning of that first game.
219
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,200
First pick to Horace Clark from Neekrow is outside for ball one.
220
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,200
Joe Neekrow on the mound.
221
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:12,200
And he well remembers Horace Clark. He got the only hit off him and it came in the ninth inning out of Tiger Stadium.
222
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,200
The wind up and the pitch. Low for a ball.
223
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:24,200
Two balls and no strikes.
224
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:30,200
Tigers leading two to nothing in the first inning of the second game. Two balls and no strikes to Horace Clark.
225
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:38,200
Neekrow into the wind up and the pitch. Clark swings and a high ball and more chop. First base side going foul and picked up by Neekrow.
226
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:45,200
Two and one the count to Clark.
227
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Tigers won their first game of the Yankee Stadium season in the opener after the Yankees won the only two game play.
228
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,200
Way back in the beginning of the season.
229
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,200
Then we lost the double header to the rain.
230
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:06,200
That was back on, let's see was it in May? Yes it was. May 17.
231
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,200
Two balls and one strike to count to Horace Clark.
232
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,200
So the Yankees have to win this to get back in the second play.
233
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,200
The wind up and the pitch to Clark. Swing and a little bounce. First base side Neekrow off the bat.
234
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,200
We'll have to hurry the throw out of first.
235
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,200
Nice play by Neekrow and there's one out.
236
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,200
So Horace Clark bounces out on a two and one. That's going to bring up Jake Gibbs the Yankee catcher.
237
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,200
Gibbs batting 254. Three homers, one triple and three doubles.
238
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,200
And so is it. It had some light. Does it still look like Peter Perch?
239
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Now it does. Yes, Peter Perch. There it is P-I-R-S-E-A.
240
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,200
You know I thought it was a joke when Bill came but that name is quite a name there.
241
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,200
The Frivolous Sound Volunteers from Poughkeepsie.
242
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Peter Perch from Poughkeepsie.
243
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,200
Oh wait no it's not. Peter Perch is in there. The fire truck is named Peter Perch.
244
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,200
Oh the pitch is low for ball one. One ball and no strike.
245
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,200
No not the pitch is low. Peter Perch.
246
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,200
One ball and no strike to Jake Gibbs.
247
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,200
Bottom half of the first inning. Tigers leading 2-0.
248
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,200
The lineup by Neekrow. Here it comes. It's low and it's two balls and no strike.
249
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,200
The fire truck had to be named after somebody didn't it?
250
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,200
I think you have to Peter Perch Bob.
251
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,200
Bill's going to be a bastard. I thought the next time he gets that one to read.
252
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,200
I want to see Frank Messer. Frank hasn't been yet.
253
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,200
He's going to have to flip that one to him one of these innings. Two balls and no strike.
254
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,200
The windup and the pitch. In there for the called strike.
255
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,200
You know we had those other ones for so long that you could almost do them from memory.
256
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,200
That's right that's what I thought this was. I picked it up nonchalantly and oh and I started.
257
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,200
Forget it.
258
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,200
Two and one the count to Gibbs. The windup and Neekrow's pitch. Popped foul onto the screen.
259
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,200
It's two and two.
260
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,200
Tigers won the opener two to one. They lead here two to nothing in the bottom half of the first inning.
261
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Two balls two strikes and Jake Gibbs was one out.
262
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,200
Neekrow into the lineup. The two two pitch curveball line in the left field for a very pitch.
263
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,200
Jake just dribbled that one right over third base.
264
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:35,200
The windup by Gates Brown. He throws it in the second on the fly and Jake Gibbs helps him back to first.
265
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,200
Jake Gibbs with a line drive base hit. The first Yankee hit of the second game.
266
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,200
That first hit was the fourth inning of the opener.
267
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,200
And Bobby Messer steps in.
268
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,200
Bobby batting two forty seven.
269
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,200
Bobby in the first game and 0 for 3 also had a base on ball.
270
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,200
So Bobby gets to see a right handed pitcher for the first time in a while.
271
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,200
He saw Sam Mcdowell last night and Mike Joe Kenny in the first game.
272
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,200
The stretch and the pitch Bobby takes outside the ball one.
273
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,200
One ball and no strikes.
274
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Cleveland beat Baltimore four to nothing in the first game of the S.Y. Niner.
275
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,620
Here the Tigers beat the
276
00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:22,620
Yankees two to one. 1 and 0 to Bobby Messer.
277
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:28,620
There's the stretch and the pitch.
278
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:46,620
Messer takes outside the ball two. Two balls and no strikes.
279
00:26:46,620 --> 00:26:50,620
Jake Gibbs with the lead off first. One out.
280
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:52,620
Bottom half of the first inning.
281
00:26:52,620 --> 00:26:56,620
The stretch. Here it comes in half of the called strike.
282
00:26:56,620 --> 00:27:00,620
Just above the knees. He didn't give Messer a fat pitch to an hour but he got it over.
283
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:04,620
Two balls and one strike.
284
00:27:07,620 --> 00:27:11,620
Nick Lowe overall has a record of ten wins and nine losses.
285
00:27:11,620 --> 00:27:18,620
One and one against the Yankees and that's his lifetime mark.
286
00:27:18,620 --> 00:27:22,620
The two on pitch on its way fouls back to the screen.
287
00:27:22,620 --> 00:27:31,620
It's all even at two balls and two strikes.
288
00:27:31,620 --> 00:27:36,620
Joe Niekro last year was with the Codes and the San Diego Padres.
289
00:27:36,620 --> 00:27:40,620
He was traded to the Tigers but put your Pat Dowdson and infielder Dave Campbell.
290
00:27:40,620 --> 00:27:42,620
And he's done the job.
291
00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:46,620
Last year he was eight and eighteen in the National League.
292
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:49,620
Yeah before that he had a good mark of fourteen and ten.
293
00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:52,620
The two to a pitch versus swing pops it up foul.
294
00:27:52,620 --> 00:27:54,620
It will be out of play down the left field line.
295
00:27:54,620 --> 00:28:00,620
Ball coming back and into the upper deck.
296
00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:04,620
Uh oh here comes the Kurt Bluffery sign out of the upper deck.
297
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:08,620
And a huge sign out there for Kurt Bluffery.
298
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:12,620
And it just broke loose and it's hanging out of the upper deck.
299
00:28:12,620 --> 00:28:19,620
That has got to be one of the biggest signs I've ever seen.
300
00:28:19,620 --> 00:28:23,620
There's something about Kurt Bluffery.
301
00:28:23,620 --> 00:28:25,620
Two balls two strikes the stretch and the pitch.
302
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:31,620
Low for ball three and it's three and two.
303
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:35,620
Half of the sign is now on the screen and the other half is hanging down.
304
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:41,620
I hope it's not in front of the TV camera so you won't be able to see anything.
305
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:45,620
They're pulling it back up from up above.
306
00:28:45,620 --> 00:28:48,620
Anybody behind that you couldn't see it was through the ball game.
307
00:28:48,620 --> 00:28:50,620
Three balls and two strikes.
308
00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:52,620
Gibbs off first with one out.
309
00:28:52,620 --> 00:29:01,620
Throw to first Gibbs gets back.
310
00:29:01,620 --> 00:29:04,620
As the stretch.
311
00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:06,620
Throw to first no dice.
312
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:09,620
Now Bobby Mercer goes for a walk outside the batter's box.
313
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:11,620
Tigers the opener two to one.
314
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:15,620
This one may lead two to nothing in the bottom of the first inning.
315
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:17,620
Three and two to Mercer.
316
00:29:17,620 --> 00:29:19,620
Gibbs on it first with one out.
317
00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:22,620
Throw right on deck.
318
00:29:22,620 --> 00:29:24,620
Here's the stretch.
319
00:29:24,620 --> 00:29:27,620
There goes Gibbs the pitch outside the ball for.
320
00:29:27,620 --> 00:29:29,620
So J. Ken take it easy.
321
00:29:29,620 --> 00:29:34,620
Goes in the second base standing as Bobby Mercer draws the base on ball.
322
00:29:34,620 --> 00:29:41,620
Roy White will be the batter.
323
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:45,620
It's been a long time since he's been below the 300 mark but he is right now.
324
00:29:45,620 --> 00:29:47,620
Roy batting 298.
325
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:48,620
13 homers.
326
00:29:48,620 --> 00:30:00,620
Three triples and 23 doubles.
327
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:02,620
The Yankees have gone down first and second.
328
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:09,620
One out bottom half of the first inning.
329
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:13,620
Roy was 0-4 in the first game but he gave it the big bid on a long flight of rights.
330
00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:15,620
It almost tied it up.
331
00:30:15,620 --> 00:30:18,620
In the sixth inning K-line made a fine catch on it.
332
00:30:18,620 --> 00:30:19,620
The first pitch to Roy.
333
00:30:19,620 --> 00:30:21,620
Curved ball in there after the call.
334
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:22,620
Strike one.
335
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:26,620
No balls and one strike.
336
00:30:26,620 --> 00:30:30,620
Last time Roy White was below the 300 block was on April the 12th.
337
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:34,620
This is the fourth game of the season.
338
00:30:34,620 --> 00:30:37,620
No balls and one strike.
339
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:41,620
Bill Kane with all of statistics never thought he'd have that one.
340
00:30:41,620 --> 00:30:43,620
The stretch and the pitch.
341
00:30:43,620 --> 00:30:47,620
Low for a ball and it's one and one.
342
00:30:47,620 --> 00:30:49,620
Jake Gibbs on second.
343
00:30:49,620 --> 00:30:50,620
Bobby Mercer on first.
344
00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:52,620
One out bottom half of the first inning.
345
00:30:52,620 --> 00:31:05,620
Two to nothing Tigers after they won the opener two to one.
346
00:31:05,620 --> 00:31:06,620
The pitch to White.
347
00:31:06,620 --> 00:31:10,620
Curve is low and two balls and one strike.
348
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:13,620
On deck is Pete Ward.
349
00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:22,620
Now Jim Price walks the ball halfway out to the mound and then flips it to Niko.
350
00:31:22,620 --> 00:31:24,620
Two and one the counter Roy White.
351
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:35,620
Yankees trying to get even here in the bottom of the first inning and get even in the second game.
352
00:31:35,620 --> 00:31:37,620
Gibbs with a good lead off second.
353
00:31:37,620 --> 00:31:39,620
Mercer off to off first.
354
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:40,620
Two and one the counter White.
355
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:41,620
Here's the pitch.
356
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:43,620
A long drive at the right field.
357
00:31:43,620 --> 00:32:12,620
This one is high for and down home run.
358
00:32:12,620 --> 00:32:20,620
Well that puts Roy White back to the 300 mark mighty fast.
359
00:32:20,620 --> 00:32:26,620
Bounding average back to 300 and home run number 14 and you now have 66 RBI.
360
00:32:26,620 --> 00:32:31,620
And the Yankees lead it three to two.
361
00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:34,620
Here's Pete Ward.
362
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:37,620
A pitch to Pete is outside for ball one.
363
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:39,620
Ward is batting 250.
364
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:45,620
And last night he laid down a beautiful bunt in the ball game at Cleveland that hit third base.
365
00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:51,620
Three to two Yankees and we've had more scoring in the first inning than we had in the entire first game.
366
00:32:51,620 --> 00:32:53,620
The Tigers winning that two to one.
367
00:32:53,620 --> 00:32:55,620
The 1-0 pitch.
368
00:32:55,620 --> 00:33:01,620
High and two balls and another strike.
369
00:33:01,620 --> 00:33:07,620
Two and 0 the count to Pete Ward.
370
00:33:07,620 --> 00:33:11,620
So Necro got hard to block but then he gave up a single to give.
371
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:15,620
A walk to Mercer and a home run to Roy White.
372
00:33:15,620 --> 00:33:19,620
Two balls and no strikes to Pete Ward.
373
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:20,620
A wind up.
374
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:26,620
Here it comes inside of three balls and no strikes.
375
00:33:26,620 --> 00:33:31,620
So Necro pitched a one hitter against the Yankees the last time.
376
00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:34,620
Having his troubles in the first inning this time.
377
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:37,620
Three and 0 the count, the wind up and the pitch.
378
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:39,620
On the corner for the called strike.
379
00:33:39,620 --> 00:33:41,620
Got the outside corner.
380
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:53,620
Three balls and one strike to Pete Ward.
381
00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:54,620
The wind up.
382
00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:59,620
Here it comes outside for ball four and Pete Ward draws the base on ball.
383
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:03,620
And here comes Mayo Smith out of the Tigers dugout.
384
00:34:03,620 --> 00:34:07,620
So in the first game neither manager had a come out and talk to the pitchers.
385
00:34:07,620 --> 00:34:14,620
And here in the second game we've seen both managers here in the first inning.
386
00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:18,620
This game has had a little more excitement already than the first game Phil.
387
00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:20,620
You know it's a strange thing Bob.
388
00:34:20,620 --> 00:34:25,620
Very seldom do you get two well pitched games in a double header.
389
00:34:25,620 --> 00:34:30,620
The first game the pitching dominated when young Mike Kilkenny
390
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:35,620
bested Mel Sattelmeyer in a real pitches duel two to one.
391
00:34:35,620 --> 00:34:40,620
And then always it seems in the second game for some reason or other it's a slugfest.
392
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:47,620
And as you say we've already scored many more runs in this game than we scored in the whole first game.
393
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:49,620
And I'm not sure whether he's taking them out or not.
394
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:51,620
It doesn't look like it.
395
00:34:51,620 --> 00:34:54,620
All right don't let him stay in there.
396
00:34:54,620 --> 00:34:56,620
All right.
397
00:34:56,620 --> 00:35:00,620
Mayo Smith a little upset he was pitching his belt up.
398
00:35:00,620 --> 00:35:02,620
This is a battle for second place.
399
00:35:02,620 --> 00:35:05,620
Yankees got to win this to regain it.
400
00:35:05,620 --> 00:35:08,620
And Kurt Bluffrey will be the batter.
401
00:35:08,620 --> 00:35:11,620
Run it on first one out three runs in for the Yankees.
402
00:35:11,620 --> 00:35:17,620
And they lead three to two in the bottom half of the first inning.
403
00:35:17,620 --> 00:35:24,620
Pete Warnard first with one out and Bluffrey steps in.
404
00:35:24,620 --> 00:35:26,620
Bluffrey batting two 14.
405
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:28,620
Nicrow to the belt.
406
00:35:28,620 --> 00:35:30,620
The pitch to Kurt low for ball one.
407
00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:37,620
One ball and no strikes.
408
00:35:37,620 --> 00:35:40,620
One and over count on Bluffrey.
409
00:35:40,620 --> 00:35:41,620
Tigers the opener two to one.
410
00:35:41,620 --> 00:35:45,620
Yankees lead here three to two but we're only in the first inning.
411
00:35:45,620 --> 00:35:47,620
One ball and no strikes the count to Bluffrey.
412
00:35:47,620 --> 00:35:51,620
Nicrow with a stretch Ward dancing away the pitch.
413
00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:54,620
Hit in the air deep to right center field barely going back.
414
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:57,620
Turns under it and he makes the catch.
415
00:35:57,620 --> 00:35:59,620
Lobs it in the second base.
416
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:03,620
Bluffrey got good wood on but he hit it to right center field.
417
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:07,620
And there are two outs.
418
00:36:07,620 --> 00:36:08,620
Two outs for the Yankees.
419
00:36:08,620 --> 00:36:10,620
He will be back to first base.
420
00:36:10,620 --> 00:36:12,620
And Jerry Kenney will be getting his first pass out of the evening.
421
00:36:12,620 --> 00:36:14,620
Kenney with a batting average of two oh seven.
422
00:36:14,620 --> 00:36:17,620
He's not playing the first game.
423
00:36:17,620 --> 00:36:20,620
Yankees leading it three to two.
424
00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:25,620
Here in the first inning we had a lead off home run by Dalton Jones for the Tigers.
425
00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:36,620
And a free run shot by Roy White of the Yankees.
426
00:36:36,620 --> 00:36:37,620
The stretch.
427
00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:39,620
A first pitch to Kenney.
428
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:40,620
Low for ball one.
429
00:36:40,620 --> 00:36:44,620
One ball and no strikes.
430
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:52,620
Jerry batting two oh seven.
431
00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:58,620
And Silveruzudo has a lavender flower to go with his lavender pen.
432
00:36:58,620 --> 00:36:59,620
All right Robyn.
433
00:36:59,620 --> 00:37:00,620
The pitch fouled off.
434
00:37:00,620 --> 00:37:03,620
Coming back towards the press box and back on the screen.
435
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:04,620
One ball and one strike.
436
00:37:04,620 --> 00:37:06,620
Where did you have to get that?
437
00:37:06,620 --> 00:37:07,620
Well that's really not mine.
438
00:37:07,620 --> 00:37:11,620
I think somebody gave it a Frank Metzger.
439
00:37:11,620 --> 00:37:15,620
Somebody's in love with him.
440
00:37:15,620 --> 00:37:21,620
One ball and one strike.
441
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:23,620
Yankees three and the Tigers two.
442
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:24,620
Bottom of the first.
443
00:37:24,620 --> 00:37:26,620
Tigers won the opener two to one.
444
00:37:26,620 --> 00:37:28,620
Here's the stretch.
445
00:37:28,620 --> 00:37:29,620
The pitch.
446
00:37:29,620 --> 00:37:30,620
Kenney takes.
447
00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:32,620
Strike called on a curve ball.
448
00:37:32,620 --> 00:37:36,620
It's one ball and two strikes.
449
00:37:36,620 --> 00:37:39,620
It's been a long first inning of the nightcap.
450
00:37:39,620 --> 00:37:44,620
It held up the second game until about eight o'clock.
451
00:37:44,620 --> 00:37:46,620
First game was over about seven twenty five.
452
00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:48,620
One ball and two strikes.
453
00:37:48,620 --> 00:37:49,620
The lead by Ward.
454
00:37:49,620 --> 00:37:50,620
The pitch to Kenney.
455
00:37:50,620 --> 00:37:51,620
Plung on and fouled.
456
00:37:51,620 --> 00:37:53,620
Back just below the press box.
457
00:37:53,620 --> 00:38:09,620
It onto the screen again.
458
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:10,620
One into the count.
459
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:12,620
Here's the stretch.
460
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:13,620
The pitch to Kenny.
461
00:38:13,620 --> 00:38:16,620
Flow curve is high and it's two and two.
462
00:38:16,620 --> 00:38:19,620
Two balls and two strikes.
463
00:38:19,620 --> 00:38:25,620
Baltimore scored three runs in the top half of the second inning at Cleveland.
464
00:38:25,620 --> 00:38:26,620
That's Harden against Dunning.
465
00:38:26,620 --> 00:38:33,620
The Indians won the first one quarter nothing.
466
00:38:33,620 --> 00:38:37,620
The stretch and the pitch inside for a ball.
467
00:38:37,620 --> 00:38:39,620
Three balls and two strikes to Jerry Kenny.
468
00:38:39,620 --> 00:38:52,620
He wore it on the first with two outs and the Yankees leading at three to two.
469
00:38:52,620 --> 00:38:53,620
Three into the count.
470
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:54,620
Ward will be off and running.
471
00:38:54,620 --> 00:38:55,620
There he goes.
472
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:56,620
The pitch is.
473
00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:58,620
Strike three called and the side's retired.
474
00:38:58,620 --> 00:39:00,620
And Kenny didn't like the call.
475
00:39:00,620 --> 00:39:01,620
He said so to John Rice.
476
00:39:01,620 --> 00:39:04,620
The whole play down by Jerry has fouled out on strike.
477
00:39:04,620 --> 00:39:07,620
But the Yankees get three runs on two hits.
478
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:12,620
There were no errors and a man lost and Kenny is still drawing away with Rice.
479
00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:16,620
Now Dick Hauser comes down and steps right in between them.
480
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:20,620
And leaves Jerry Kenny by the hand back to the dugout.
481
00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:22,620
The score at the end of one.
482
00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:24,620
The Yankees three and the Tigers two.
483
00:39:24,620 --> 00:39:28,620
Right now Chevrolet dealers are back on Chevrolet's savings time.
484
00:39:28,620 --> 00:39:33,620
Before we go along any further right now let's pause for station identification.
485
00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:45,620
This is Harry Downey bringing the Upside Downey game your way weekdays 10 to 3 here on the Fresh Air Sound of Radio 81 WGY's Connected E.
486
00:39:45,620 --> 00:39:49,620
All right both Bonson and Negros have been treated rather roughly in the first inning.
487
00:39:49,620 --> 00:39:53,620
So let's see as they go back and take their rest whether things will be different Bob.
488
00:39:53,620 --> 00:39:57,620
All right on we go to the top half of the second inning Yankees leading at three to two.
489
00:39:57,620 --> 00:40:03,620
Gutierrez, Necro and Dalton Jones will be the batter.
490
00:40:03,620 --> 00:40:04,620
Bonson into his wind up.
491
00:40:04,620 --> 00:40:11,620
Atmopet outside with the curve ball for ball one and Jerry Kenny was racing in from third as Gutierrez fluffed the bunt.
492
00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:15,620
One ball and no strike.
493
00:40:15,620 --> 00:40:24,620
Yankees three and the Tigers two but the Tigers won the opener two to one.
494
00:40:24,620 --> 00:40:27,620
The pitch is hit in the air out towards right field.
495
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:29,620
Bluffery in his track backing up a little bit.
496
00:40:29,620 --> 00:40:33,620
Catches it head high and there's one out.
497
00:40:33,620 --> 00:40:37,620
Gutierrez flies out to right field for the first out of the top of the second.
498
00:40:37,620 --> 00:40:40,620
It will bring out Joe Necro the pitcher.
499
00:40:40,620 --> 00:40:43,620
Necro is batting 149.
500
00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:48,620
He's had seven base hits and 47 at bats and one of the hits was for a triple.
501
00:40:48,620 --> 00:40:53,620
Two of them for a double.
502
00:40:53,620 --> 00:41:03,620
One out top of the second Yankees leading three to two after the Tigers won the opener two to one.
503
00:41:03,620 --> 00:41:05,620
Each team has had two hits.
504
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:07,620
Bonson one, kick delivers.
505
00:41:07,620 --> 00:41:08,620
Swing and a mid-strike run.
506
00:41:08,620 --> 00:41:10,620
Necro flung over that one.
507
00:41:10,620 --> 00:41:20,620
No balls and one strike.
508
00:41:20,620 --> 00:41:21,620
Bonson into the wind up.
509
00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:23,620
Delivers again.
510
00:41:23,620 --> 00:41:25,620
Necro takes high for a ball that's one and one.
511
00:41:25,620 --> 00:41:36,620
One ball and one strike.
512
00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:41,620
The one-one pitch hit on the ground back to the box and in the center field for a base hit.
513
00:41:41,620 --> 00:41:43,620
Up with the ball is Bobby Mercer.
514
00:41:43,620 --> 00:41:45,620
He throws on in the second.
515
00:41:45,620 --> 00:41:50,620
And Joe Necro the pitcher comes up with a base hit of the season.
516
00:41:50,620 --> 00:41:56,620
So Necro is on and he wants his warm-up jacket.
517
00:41:56,620 --> 00:42:17,620
Tigers have a base runner with one out and Dalton Jones with his third home of the season to start off the ballgame steps in.
518
00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:20,620
First pitch to Jones is low for ball one.
519
00:42:20,620 --> 00:42:27,620
One ball and no strike.
520
00:42:27,620 --> 00:42:32,620
Necro not taking much of a lead at all.
521
00:42:32,620 --> 00:42:34,620
He's got about a one-yard lead.
522
00:42:34,620 --> 00:42:35,620
Here's the pitch.
523
00:42:35,620 --> 00:42:39,620
Low for ball two, balls and no strike.
524
00:42:39,620 --> 00:42:54,620
Yankees three and the Tigers two, top half of the second inning.
525
00:42:54,620 --> 00:42:56,620
Necro leads off the 2-0 pitch.
526
00:42:56,620 --> 00:43:00,620
Outside three balls and no strike.
527
00:43:00,620 --> 00:43:05,620
Bonson walks a couple in the first inning now in danger of his third walk of the ballgame.
528
00:43:05,620 --> 00:43:09,620
Stanley is on deck.
529
00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:15,620
The little consolation to face the Tigers without K-line on the batting auto though.
530
00:43:15,620 --> 00:43:17,620
He's being rested in this nightcap.
531
00:43:17,620 --> 00:43:22,620
The pitch is over for a called strike three and one.
532
00:43:22,620 --> 00:43:27,620
But I'd imagine he could be a pretty good threat as a pinch hitter later on in the ballgame.
533
00:43:27,620 --> 00:43:33,620
Three balls and one strike to Dalton Jones.
534
00:43:33,620 --> 00:43:35,620
Stan Bonson checks Necro.
535
00:43:35,620 --> 00:43:39,620
Here it comes, low for ball four and Jones draws the base on ball.
536
00:43:39,620 --> 00:43:43,620
That's the third one giving up by Stan Bonson in an inning and a third.
537
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:46,620
And it'll bring out Mickey Stanley who drew the first walk off bounce.
538
00:43:46,620 --> 00:43:52,620
But it came in the three and two pitch of the first inning.
539
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:55,620
So with one out here in the second inning, Necro has walked.
540
00:43:55,620 --> 00:43:59,620
Jones has walked after Necro's single.
541
00:43:59,620 --> 00:44:24,620
First and second with one out and Mickey Stanley the batter.
542
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:28,620
Mickey Stanley steps in.
543
00:44:28,620 --> 00:44:30,620
Necro on it, second, Jones on it.
544
00:44:30,620 --> 00:44:34,620
First and now Stanley steps out as Bonson is taking too long for him.
545
00:44:34,620 --> 00:44:38,620
Stanley batting 268.
546
00:44:38,620 --> 00:44:40,620
Mickey's hit ten home runs.
547
00:44:40,620 --> 00:44:41,620
He had a good first game.
548
00:44:41,620 --> 00:44:44,620
He had a double and a triple and scored both Tiger runs.
549
00:44:44,620 --> 00:44:45,620
Bonson to the belt.
550
00:44:45,620 --> 00:44:47,620
The pitch curve low in the dirt football.
551
00:44:47,620 --> 00:44:49,620
One nice walk by Jake Gibbs.
552
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:57,620
One ball and no strikes and now we have some activity out in the Yankee bullpen.
553
00:44:57,620 --> 00:45:08,620
The manager went to the bullpen in the first game.
554
00:45:08,620 --> 00:45:11,620
Both managers have had the bullpen up already in this one.
555
00:45:11,620 --> 00:45:14,620
Bonson stretches and the pitch curve in the half of the call strikes.
556
00:45:14,620 --> 00:45:15,620
That was a beauty.
557
00:45:15,620 --> 00:45:18,620
One ball and one strike.
558
00:45:18,620 --> 00:45:34,620
Yankees leading 3-2 after the Tigers won the opener 2-1.
559
00:45:34,620 --> 00:45:42,620
The pitch is low for a ball, 2-1.
560
00:45:42,620 --> 00:45:46,620
Whatever breeze we have here at the stadium right now blowing out towards left field.
561
00:45:46,620 --> 00:45:50,620
Very comfortable night for baseball.
562
00:45:50,620 --> 00:45:53,620
Looks as if the good weather followed us right along.
563
00:45:53,620 --> 00:45:57,620
We had a pleasant after the first day in Milwaukee.
564
00:45:57,620 --> 00:45:59,620
Certainly nights in Cleveland and now nights here in New York.
565
00:45:59,620 --> 00:46:03,620
The 2-1 pitch is inside the 3-1.
566
00:46:03,620 --> 00:46:06,620
That's play jumping around on Stan Bonson.
567
00:46:06,620 --> 00:46:11,620
Three balls and one strike.
568
00:46:11,620 --> 00:46:19,620
Check is Gabe Brown.
569
00:46:19,620 --> 00:46:21,620
Mickey Stanley the center fielder up there.
570
00:46:21,620 --> 00:46:23,620
3-1 Bonson stretches.
571
00:46:23,620 --> 00:46:24,620
The pitch hit on the ground.
572
00:46:24,620 --> 00:46:25,620
Back over Bonson.
573
00:46:25,620 --> 00:46:27,620
Gloves in the center field for a base hit.
574
00:46:27,620 --> 00:46:28,620
Mitchell around third.
575
00:46:28,620 --> 00:46:29,620
He'll score.
576
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,620
Going on to third base is Jones.
577
00:46:31,620 --> 00:46:33,620
The throw cut off by Ward.
578
00:46:33,620 --> 00:46:37,620
And their runners on first and third in the tie ball game.
579
00:46:37,620 --> 00:46:39,620
Stan Bonson just missed that ball.
580
00:46:39,620 --> 00:46:42,620
It was well hit up the middle but he almost slagged it down.
581
00:46:42,620 --> 00:46:46,620
Went right over his glove and kept right on going in the center field.
582
00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:51,620
And Routhouse is out of the Yankee dugout.
583
00:46:51,620 --> 00:46:55,620
This is his second time out.
584
00:46:55,620 --> 00:46:57,620
But not the second time in this inning.
585
00:46:57,620 --> 00:47:04,620
But he's going to make the change anyhow and he wants the left-hander.
586
00:47:04,620 --> 00:47:09,620
So Mickey Stanley has single to tie up the ball game.
587
00:47:09,620 --> 00:47:10,620
Jones is on third.
588
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:13,620
Stanley on first with one out.
589
00:47:13,620 --> 00:47:15,620
And this is Steve Hamilton.
590
00:47:15,620 --> 00:47:19,620
And this is quite early for Steve Hamilton in the ball game.
591
00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:24,620
I think right now with two left-hander's it is actually three in a row.
592
00:47:24,620 --> 00:47:25,620
Schedule of that.
593
00:47:25,620 --> 00:47:27,620
Ralph Hough wants to get out of this inning.
594
00:47:27,620 --> 00:47:31,620
And Steve, as everyone knows, is a short relief man.
595
00:47:31,620 --> 00:47:35,620
And what Ralph will probably do, get out of this jam, or hope to get out of this jam,
596
00:47:35,620 --> 00:47:38,620
and then pinch hit maybe for Steve Hamilton.
597
00:47:38,620 --> 00:47:41,620
I've often thought of the possibility of letting Hamilton, let's say,
598
00:47:41,620 --> 00:47:45,620
pitch to the left-handed batters and then putting them someplace on the field.
599
00:47:45,620 --> 00:47:49,620
And Ralph has said that he's been like tempted so often,
600
00:47:49,620 --> 00:47:52,620
but he says there's always one man out of place.
601
00:47:52,620 --> 00:47:56,620
Like he's always one lefty or one right-handed hitter away.
602
00:47:56,620 --> 00:47:58,620
I don't think you do it this early in the ball game,
603
00:47:58,620 --> 00:48:02,620
because Hamilton is so effective against the lefty that you have to think about it.
604
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,620
You know something, Bob?
605
00:48:03,620 --> 00:48:08,620
I mentioned that same thing down to him when I was talking to him between games,
606
00:48:08,620 --> 00:48:12,620
interviewing him, and he said he gets a little upset when people say that,
607
00:48:12,620 --> 00:48:16,620
well, we know you can get left-handers out, but you have trouble against right-handers.
608
00:48:16,620 --> 00:48:21,620
And he said it's something that has stuck with him because he does get left-handers out so well.
609
00:48:21,620 --> 00:48:24,620
They weigh that against the way he pitches against right-handers.
610
00:48:24,620 --> 00:48:29,620
And he said if you check the records, you'll see that he does as well against right-hand hitters
611
00:48:29,620 --> 00:48:33,620
as other pitchers, not as well as he does against left-hand batters naturally,
612
00:48:33,620 --> 00:48:35,620
but he's so great getting them out.
613
00:48:35,620 --> 00:48:39,620
But he just gets a little upset when they say, well, you can't get right-handers out.
614
00:48:39,620 --> 00:48:42,620
Well, he's been getting them out and getting them out well all year,
615
00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:45,620
but as you say, he's been tremendous against the left-handers.
616
00:48:45,620 --> 00:48:46,620
Now, wait a minute.
617
00:48:46,620 --> 00:48:52,620
Gates Brown is heading back to the dugout, and we're waiting to see what happens.
618
00:48:52,620 --> 00:49:02,620
Ike Brown will be the 10th hitter, 10th hitting for Gates Brown.
619
00:49:02,620 --> 00:49:08,620
All we've got to do is change first names and leave him right in there.
620
00:49:08,620 --> 00:49:12,620
What was the all in Gates and Ike? They look alike, they swing alike?
621
00:49:12,620 --> 00:49:14,620
No, it wasn't Gates and Ike. It was Mike and Ike.
622
00:49:14,620 --> 00:49:15,620
All right.
623
00:49:15,620 --> 00:49:19,620
That's too many people with the name of Gates.
624
00:49:19,620 --> 00:49:38,620
Ike Brown will be the 10th hitter.
625
00:49:38,620 --> 00:49:41,620
So Gates Brown will be the 10th hitter.
626
00:49:41,620 --> 00:49:46,620
Boy, if we're early in the ballgame, we have a short-release pitcher and a 10th hitter.
627
00:49:46,620 --> 00:49:49,620
Some fans may be wondering about Horton.
628
00:49:49,620 --> 00:49:52,620
Willie Horton is on the disabled list.
629
00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:56,620
He was injured, I guess, when we were out in California.
630
00:49:56,620 --> 00:49:59,620
So they do not have Willie Horton, and the Yankees are happy about that.
631
00:49:59,620 --> 00:50:03,620
Not happy for Willie's sake, but he has written murder on Yankee pitching.
632
00:50:03,620 --> 00:50:09,620
Here's Gates Brown.
633
00:50:09,620 --> 00:50:14,620
Three through the score, first and third and one out, second inning, the stretch, the pitch,
634
00:50:14,620 --> 00:50:18,620
and a no-strike one.
635
00:50:18,620 --> 00:50:32,620
Gates Brown is batting 271. He has two doubles and two home runs.
636
00:50:32,620 --> 00:50:37,620
No balls and one strike.
637
00:50:37,620 --> 00:50:39,620
Hamilton goes to the ball.
638
00:50:39,620 --> 00:50:43,620
Fastball inside low, and it's one and one on Ike Brown.
639
00:50:43,620 --> 00:50:51,620
So Gates Brown only got off once, and he lined out to left field.
640
00:50:51,620 --> 00:51:04,620
Three through the score, top of the second. Tigers won the opener two to one.
641
00:51:04,620 --> 00:51:11,620
The pitch, hung on, hit on the ground, play down the first base line, the players to the plate, and safe at home.
642
00:51:11,620 --> 00:51:16,620
Nate Ward was slow getting rid of that ball. Seemed to hesitate for just a second.
643
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:20,620
There was no slide at home plate.
644
00:51:20,620 --> 00:51:22,620
He seemed to hesitate, Phil.
645
00:51:22,620 --> 00:51:27,620
He didn't think he had a chance for the runner at home, and then was surprised to see him so far from the plate.
646
00:51:27,620 --> 00:51:31,620
And that slight hesitation caused the Yankees to run.
647
00:51:31,620 --> 00:51:36,620
Now they trail four to three. That'll be a field of choice.
648
00:51:36,620 --> 00:51:41,620
They're field of choice, and they give Ike Brown an RBI.
649
00:51:41,620 --> 00:51:44,620
Dalton Jones scored from third.
650
00:51:44,620 --> 00:51:47,620
Down the second goes Mickey Stanley, and Ike Brown is safe at first.
651
00:51:47,620 --> 00:51:50,620
Now the left-handed batter is Norm Cash.
652
00:51:50,620 --> 00:51:52,620
Little Gribbler down the first base line.
653
00:51:52,620 --> 00:51:59,620
Here's the pitch. Here's the demand for the called strike one. No balls and one strike.
654
00:51:59,620 --> 00:52:03,620
So the Tigers lead four to three in the top half of the second inning.
655
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:08,620
No balls and one strike.
656
00:52:08,620 --> 00:52:14,620
Hamilton to the belt delivers the curve outside for a ball that's one and one.
657
00:52:14,620 --> 00:52:20,620
Steve Hamilton with a record of four wins and three losses, and earned run average of 2.25.
658
00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:24,620
Tigers four, Yankees three, top half of the second inning.
659
00:52:24,620 --> 00:52:27,620
There's the stretch and the pitch.
660
00:52:27,620 --> 00:52:33,620
Two balls and one strike.
661
00:52:33,620 --> 00:52:36,620
Tigers won the opener two to one.
662
00:52:36,620 --> 00:52:38,620
We've had wild scoring in this one.
663
00:52:38,620 --> 00:52:41,620
Tigers got two in the first, Yankees three in the bottom of the first.
664
00:52:41,620 --> 00:52:44,620
Tigers two here in the top of the second, and they're still at it.
665
00:52:44,620 --> 00:52:46,620
First and second, one out.
666
00:52:46,620 --> 00:52:51,620
Pulling on McCann on cash.
667
00:52:51,620 --> 00:52:56,620
There's the stretch and the pitch. Pulling a miss, and it's still in two.
668
00:52:56,620 --> 00:52:59,620
Two balls and two strikes.
669
00:52:59,620 --> 00:53:06,620
And that play to the plate, Jones never did bother to slide, and they almost had them after all, even after the hesitation.
670
00:53:06,620 --> 00:53:11,620
I think that Jake could have really given him a dirty play there, given him a hit, and he'd have been up in the seat.
671
00:53:11,620 --> 00:53:14,620
Two to five is low for ball three.
672
00:53:14,620 --> 00:53:17,620
Three and two to count.
673
00:53:17,620 --> 00:53:22,620
Ross Nagelson is on deck.
674
00:53:22,620 --> 00:53:26,620
Three balls, two strikes. We'll see if the runners are going.
675
00:53:26,620 --> 00:53:32,620
Stanley and Eichbaum.
676
00:53:32,620 --> 00:53:34,620
There's the stretch.
677
00:53:34,620 --> 00:53:38,620
They're not going to pitch. Hit on the ground slowly, foul outside of first.
678
00:53:38,620 --> 00:53:51,620
McCann holds a three and two.
679
00:53:51,620 --> 00:54:05,620
Three balls and two strikes to non-cash.
680
00:54:05,620 --> 00:54:08,620
Cash walks his first time up with stretch and the pitch.
681
00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:13,620
Swing and a foul ball back to the screen and hold a three and two.
682
00:54:13,620 --> 00:54:15,620
He bounced that one back and just didn't get a piece of it.
683
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:18,620
Three balls and two strikes.
684
00:54:18,620 --> 00:54:21,620
It's funny, we were talking about Hamilton in the right-hand batters.
685
00:54:21,620 --> 00:54:25,620
Well, he fooled Eichbaum so badly that it turned out he fooled him too much.
686
00:54:25,620 --> 00:54:28,620
He hit it off the end of the bat and it was hit so slowly to run score.
687
00:54:28,620 --> 00:54:31,620
It doesn't show on the box scores, but Steve did his job.
688
00:54:31,620 --> 00:54:35,620
He's just got a bad break.
689
00:54:35,620 --> 00:54:38,620
There's the stretch and the pitch. Low for ball four.
690
00:54:38,620 --> 00:54:42,620
So cash draws the base on balls.
691
00:54:42,620 --> 00:54:45,620
And the bases are loaded with one out.
692
00:54:45,620 --> 00:54:48,620
Thank you Stanley goes to third. Eichbaum goes to second.
693
00:54:48,620 --> 00:54:51,620
Non-cash goes to first.
694
00:54:51,620 --> 00:54:53,620
And the battle will be Russ Nagleton.
695
00:54:53,620 --> 00:55:01,620
Nagleton grounded to a fourth play his first time up by hitting a ground ball to Harrah Scott.
696
00:55:01,620 --> 00:55:04,620
Nagleton came in only batting 147.
697
00:55:04,620 --> 00:55:08,620
So another lefty for Steve Hamilton to face.
698
00:55:08,620 --> 00:55:12,620
But after this he runs out of lefties with John Wirtz together.
699
00:55:12,620 --> 00:55:15,620
The wind up in the pitch. High for ball one.
700
00:55:15,620 --> 00:55:27,620
One ball and no strike.
701
00:55:27,620 --> 00:55:29,620
Tigers have them loaded. Here's the pitch.
702
00:55:29,620 --> 00:55:31,620
Bring in a high pop out. Maybe playable.
703
00:55:31,620 --> 00:55:33,620
Coming back is Gibbs. It's going to be close.
704
00:55:33,620 --> 00:55:39,620
Right to the screen. Can't get it on the screen.
705
00:55:39,620 --> 00:55:42,620
One and one. Jacobs ready to climb the screen for that one.
706
00:55:42,620 --> 00:55:47,620
What a spot for a pop out. The bases loaded.
707
00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:56,620
But it was back on the screen. One ball and one strike.
708
00:55:56,620 --> 00:55:59,620
Yankee outfield of second game.
709
00:55:59,620 --> 00:56:01,620
Roy White, Bobby Mercer, and Tate Leffler.
710
00:56:01,620 --> 00:56:05,620
And they're pulled way around for Russ Nagleton.
711
00:56:05,620 --> 00:56:09,620
Tigers have the bases loaded. They lead 4-3 in the second inning of the nightcap.
712
00:56:09,620 --> 00:56:12,620
They won the opener 2-1.
713
00:56:12,620 --> 00:56:15,620
One ball, one strike, one out. Hamilton the wind up and the pitch.
714
00:56:15,620 --> 00:56:22,620
First strike to a beauty. One ball and two strikes.
715
00:56:22,620 --> 00:56:24,620
Now a new supply of baseball.
716
00:56:24,620 --> 00:56:26,620
Brought out to plate umpire John Rice.
717
00:56:26,620 --> 00:56:28,620
Rice is the home plate umpire.
718
00:56:28,620 --> 00:56:39,620
Marty Spring started first. Larry Barnett at second and Larry Knapp around at third.
719
00:56:39,620 --> 00:56:44,620
Strike three swinging and Hamilton gets a big strike out.
720
00:56:44,620 --> 00:56:49,620
So he strikes out Nagleton after walking Chad.
721
00:56:49,620 --> 00:56:53,620
Two outs for the Tigers and John Way will be the batter.
722
00:56:53,620 --> 00:56:59,620
And it looks as if Hamilton will stay on the mound to pitch to Wirt.
723
00:56:59,620 --> 00:57:06,620
Tigers leading 4-3 top half of the second inning.
724
00:57:06,620 --> 00:57:12,620
John Wirt got a base hit to drive it around in the first inning.
725
00:57:12,620 --> 00:57:16,620
Hamilton delivers low for ball one. One ball and no strike.
726
00:57:16,620 --> 00:57:20,620
So this is the second right-handed batter that he's had to face.
727
00:57:20,620 --> 00:57:27,620
The other one being Ike Brown.
728
00:57:27,620 --> 00:57:30,620
Pitch is hitting the edge. Deep to left. Right going back.
729
00:57:30,620 --> 00:57:33,620
Back to the warning card. To the front. He's got it.
730
00:57:33,620 --> 00:57:39,620
And that and many ball parkers are grand plan homo.
731
00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:44,620
But it's a big out for the Tigers to the top half of the second inning.
732
00:57:44,620 --> 00:57:47,620
They regain the lead. As they scored two runs they had two hits.
733
00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:49,620
There were no errors in three left.
734
00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:54,620
At the end of the inning and a half the Tigers four and the Yankees three.
735
00:57:54,620 --> 00:58:04,620
There's leeching and bird for everyone at the Catskill Game Farm.
736
00:58:04,620 --> 00:58:11,620
See all the game both wild and tame at the Catskill Game Farm.
737
00:58:11,620 --> 00:58:16,620
You'll enjoy seeing the rare imported antelope in the new African exhibit.
738
00:58:16,620 --> 00:58:20,620
Besides petting and feeding the many animals at the game farm,
739
00:58:20,620 --> 00:58:23,620
you may go for a train ride in the colorful bird area
740
00:58:23,620 --> 00:58:29,620
where there is a large modern cafeteria serving delicious hot and cold meals.
741
00:58:29,620 --> 00:58:35,620
If you're nature minded, don't miss the wildlife art gallery with many beautiful animal paintings.
742
00:58:35,620 --> 00:58:39,620
There are so many enjoyable things to see at the Catskill Game Farm.
743
00:58:39,620 --> 00:58:42,620
Be sure to visit it some day this week.
744
00:58:42,620 --> 00:58:47,620
It's located two miles off Route 32 south of K.O. New York.
745
00:58:47,620 --> 00:59:03,620
See all the game both wild and tame at the Catskill Game Farm.
746
00:59:03,620 --> 00:59:06,620
Well it looks like that Ike Brown is going to stay in left field Bob.
747
00:59:06,620 --> 00:59:11,620
So all we got to do is keep the name Ike there and leave Brown in left field.
748
00:59:11,620 --> 00:59:15,620
And Ike as far as I know, I haven't seen him in the outfield.
749
00:59:15,620 --> 00:59:19,620
I know he's played a lot of second and third base for the Tigers.
750
00:59:19,620 --> 00:59:21,620
Oh he got his chance in the outfield.
751
00:59:21,620 --> 00:59:26,620
It's also, they still have K.Line they could have put in there.
752
00:59:26,620 --> 00:59:27,620
But they're giving K.Line a rest.
753
00:59:27,620 --> 00:59:32,620
He's been in the big league for 18 years, 35 years old.
754
00:59:32,620 --> 00:59:35,620
And probably the only time we'll see him would be at a pinch hitting role
755
00:59:35,620 --> 00:59:37,620
or later on in the ball game.
756
00:59:37,620 --> 00:59:41,620
All right, Gene Michael is trying to get things going for the Yankees
757
00:59:41,620 --> 00:59:44,620
and we go to the bottom of the second.
758
00:59:44,620 --> 00:59:52,620
Four to two the Tigers lead it.
759
00:59:52,620 --> 00:59:58,620
The Traips, the win on the first game, 2-1 at Co. Kennings, bested Mel Salomar.
760
00:59:58,620 --> 01:00:03,620
The windup and the pitch, Michael takes in there for the call strike.
761
01:00:03,620 --> 01:00:09,620
And the Yankees have been given a reprieve after that free run home on the first inning by Roy White.
762
01:00:09,620 --> 01:00:16,620
No balls and run strike.
763
01:00:16,620 --> 01:00:23,620
The windup and the pitch, Michael with the line drive to first base and cash one out.
764
01:00:23,620 --> 01:00:26,620
One up and one down.
765
01:00:26,620 --> 01:00:31,620
And it'll bring out the Yankee pitcher Steve Hamilton.
766
01:00:31,620 --> 01:00:37,620
A stand bounce, he never did get a chance to bat in the ball game.
767
01:00:37,620 --> 01:00:47,620
Hamilton has got only five outbats this year and no base yet.
768
01:00:47,620 --> 01:00:54,620
Four to three the Tigers lead it, bottom half of the second inning.
769
01:00:54,620 --> 01:01:00,620
Big thief, the left-handed batter, the putscher Nick Lowe in there for the call strike.
770
01:01:00,620 --> 01:01:04,620
Hamilton thought it was below his knee, he's got some pretty tall knees.
771
01:01:04,620 --> 01:01:08,620
Used to be a basketball player for the old Minneapolis Lakers.
772
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:10,620
No balls and one strike.
773
01:01:10,620 --> 01:01:14,620
The windup and the pitch, swing and a broken bat off.
774
01:01:14,620 --> 01:01:18,620
Back to Nick Lowe who made the play, the throw to first for the second out.
775
01:01:18,620 --> 01:01:21,620
He got that one backhanded between his legs.
776
01:01:21,620 --> 01:01:27,620
Absolutely, oh we've got to get a replay on that on TV, that was beautiful.
777
01:01:27,620 --> 01:01:31,620
It was a broken bat by Hamilton, the ball went back to the mound.
778
01:01:31,620 --> 01:01:36,620
And somehow Nick Lowe had his legs all tangled up, the ball went right between his legs.
779
01:01:36,620 --> 01:01:41,620
And he was cross-legged at the time, shut down the glove and had the ball.
780
01:01:41,620 --> 01:01:44,620
Two outs.
781
01:01:44,620 --> 01:01:48,620
Bill's still looking for his replay.
782
01:01:48,620 --> 01:01:58,620
Hanson Harv, Clark will be the batter.
783
01:01:58,620 --> 01:02:01,620
Harv Clark steps in.
784
01:02:01,620 --> 01:02:04,620
Clark bounced to the mound in the first inning.
785
01:02:04,620 --> 01:02:07,620
Four to three to Tigers leader, the windup.
786
01:02:07,620 --> 01:02:10,620
The pitch to Clark, he's taking all the way and a throw for ball one.
787
01:02:10,620 --> 01:02:14,620
One ball and no strike.
788
01:02:14,620 --> 01:02:22,620
One and 0 the count. The windup and the pitch to Clark, flung on and rocked foul outside of first.
789
01:02:22,620 --> 01:02:30,620
One and one.
790
01:02:30,620 --> 01:02:33,620
Scramble for the base ball, nobody wound up with it.
791
01:02:33,620 --> 01:02:37,620
One and one the count on Harv's part.
792
01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:43,620
Tigers leading four to three, second inning of the nightcap, they won the opener, two to one.
793
01:02:43,620 --> 01:02:52,620
The windup, here it comes, it's outside with two balls and one strike.
794
01:02:52,620 --> 01:02:59,620
Hanson Harv, Clark made out in the first inning, a single by Gibb and a walk to Mercer with three run homer by Roy White.
795
01:02:59,620 --> 01:03:02,620
Two and one the count.
796
01:03:02,620 --> 01:03:08,620
Necro goes into the windup, he delivers, low curve, high on outside, three and one the Harv's part.
797
01:03:08,620 --> 01:03:13,620
Jake Gibb's on deck.
798
01:03:13,620 --> 01:03:21,620
Big ball game for these two teams, the winner goes into second place, right now it's the Tigers by a half game over the Yankees.
799
01:03:21,620 --> 01:03:26,620
Three and one, the windup and the pitch, Clark takes high for ball four.
800
01:03:26,620 --> 01:03:34,620
So Harv shuts on down the first, it's the third walk for the Yankees and he'll bring up Jake Gibb.
801
01:03:34,620 --> 01:03:41,620
Gibb's going to base hit the left field to get the Yankees going in the first inning.
802
01:03:41,620 --> 01:03:58,620
Jake will fail to hit a home run last year, has hit three home runs this year, he also has one triple and three doubles.
803
01:03:58,620 --> 01:04:11,620
The stretch by Necro, go to first and Harv's clock gets back.
804
01:04:11,620 --> 01:04:15,620
Necro fires the first, no dice.
805
01:04:15,620 --> 01:04:20,620
Harv's back with the belly-whopper.
806
01:04:20,620 --> 01:04:24,620
Harv's tucked off, Necro's stepped off.
807
01:04:24,620 --> 01:04:29,620
Clark's back with his big lead, Necro to the belt.
808
01:04:29,620 --> 01:04:34,620
Great pitch to Jake Gibb, fastball accidentally hit foul outside of first strike one.
809
01:04:34,620 --> 01:04:38,620
No balls in one strike, Jake was trying to check his swing on that.
810
01:04:38,620 --> 01:04:41,620
Oh and one the count to Gibb.
811
01:04:41,620 --> 01:04:48,620
Gibb will be doing a lot of catching for the Yankees for the next two weeks, months of the Labas military reserve duties.
812
01:04:48,620 --> 01:04:59,620
Oh and one the count on Jake.
813
01:04:59,620 --> 01:05:07,620
Four to three, the Tigers lead it, we're on the bottom half of the second inning.
814
01:05:07,620 --> 01:05:14,620
The lead by Clark, a throw over there and Harv's inside.
815
01:05:14,620 --> 01:05:31,620
Harv's has 12-goal invasions, two outs, he's got a big lead, another throw, he gets back.
816
01:05:31,620 --> 01:05:37,620
It's going to be a long night cap, played about an hour, but it's been a lot of excitement.
817
01:05:37,620 --> 01:05:41,620
Four to three, the Tigers lead it, to the belt goes Necro, the pitch.
818
01:05:41,620 --> 01:05:50,620
It's a long drive, it's a home run if it's fair, there's serving foul way back into the upper deck.
819
01:05:50,620 --> 01:05:58,620
No balls and two strikes.
820
01:05:58,620 --> 01:06:12,620
Mayo's going for a drink of water over in the Tiger dugout. Oh and two the count on Gibb.
821
01:06:12,620 --> 01:06:17,620
Harv's Clark on his first, two outs, the stretch, the pitch to Jake.
822
01:06:17,620 --> 01:06:22,620
Line drive, hits down in the left field corner for the base hit, Clark around second, digging for third.
823
01:06:22,620 --> 01:06:27,620
Down up at the ball in the corner, Clark the third, they hold him up.
824
01:06:27,620 --> 01:06:32,620
Jake's play by Ike Brown who went in to play left field, a hole after a double.
825
01:06:32,620 --> 01:06:38,620
Not so much to keep Gibb's second, but the stops are very three-footed, Harv's Clark from scoring.
826
01:06:38,620 --> 01:06:43,620
Jake just reached out and bumped that ball down the left of your line, middle playing them over that way.
827
01:06:43,620 --> 01:06:46,620
So actually Ike Brown had a head start on the ball.
828
01:06:46,620 --> 01:06:49,620
They did not as a rule play Gibb's as a full hitter.
829
01:06:49,620 --> 01:06:54,620
There was a case where Gibb did pull the ball into the upper deck and then he hit one the opposite way.
830
01:06:54,620 --> 01:07:00,620
So it's a stroke to have. A lot of pitches will hang one inside, see them pull a pitch outside.
831
01:07:00,620 --> 01:07:09,620
Might pull some hitters, but Jake is as good going to left field as any left-hand hitter on the Yankees.
832
01:07:09,620 --> 01:07:15,620
So the Yankees have a life here on the second and it was two outs, a walk for Clark, a double by Jake.
833
01:07:15,620 --> 01:07:19,620
And here comes Mayo Smith out of the dugout.
834
01:07:19,620 --> 01:07:24,620
He went for a long drink of water after Gibb hit that long foul.
835
01:07:28,620 --> 01:07:32,620
Mayo is in no hurry to get out to the mound.
836
01:07:32,620 --> 01:07:36,620
Nickra has been hit well to three-base hit.
837
01:07:36,620 --> 01:07:40,620
Home run, a double and a single and that's all. He's had it.
838
01:07:40,620 --> 01:07:48,620
So Jake Gibb's got two out of the three hits off Nickra and he loses the ball game, but the Tigers leading it four to three.
839
01:07:48,620 --> 01:07:52,620
Right now on Yankee Bay, ball is called for station identification.
840
01:07:52,620 --> 01:07:56,620
This is Steve Fitz, your contact host. Call us weeknights from eight to midnight.
841
01:07:56,620 --> 01:08:01,620
Hear on the fresh air sound of Radio 81, WGY Schenectady.
842
01:08:09,620 --> 01:08:15,620
Looks like we're going to have a left-hander coming on, which will not be anything new for Bobby Mercer,
843
01:08:15,620 --> 01:08:20,620
who will be the scheduled batter to face the new pitcher coming on.
844
01:08:20,620 --> 01:08:25,620
Bobby's getting more than his share of left-hand pitches about against this year.
845
01:08:25,620 --> 01:08:31,620
Well, let's see, it looks like it could be Hiller. It's hard to see.
846
01:08:34,620 --> 01:08:39,620
Let's see, Longfin sideburns. Does that help, Bill Cain?
847
01:08:39,620 --> 01:08:43,620
Number 18, John Hiller. Very good.
848
01:08:43,620 --> 01:08:45,620
Got to be lucky once in a while, Bob.
849
01:08:45,620 --> 01:08:53,620
But anyway, Hiller is not the type left-hand pitcher to give left-hand batters that much trouble.
850
01:08:53,620 --> 01:08:57,620
In other words, he doesn't come that side on like Steve Hamillin does.
851
01:08:57,620 --> 01:09:03,620
Hiller is making his 31st appearance of the year and he has won five and lost three.
852
01:09:03,620 --> 01:09:09,620
He actually started one game for the Tigers this year. All the rest have been in relief.
853
01:09:09,620 --> 01:09:15,620
Has an earned run average of 3.06. Not bad, not good.
854
01:09:15,620 --> 01:09:19,620
Not good enough to keep you in there.
855
01:09:19,620 --> 01:09:24,620
He'll get his warm-up pitches and then have to face Bobby Mercer.
856
01:09:24,620 --> 01:09:29,620
And as we said, Bobby, really facing his share of left-hand hitters.
857
01:09:29,620 --> 01:09:32,620
Let's see what Bobby did in the first game.
858
01:09:32,620 --> 01:09:39,620
He was 0-3 and had one walk while he was in there.
859
01:09:39,620 --> 01:09:43,620
So as Bob said, it's going to be a wild and molly ball game after that first one.
860
01:09:43,620 --> 01:09:51,620
A fine pitching goal between Mike Kilkenny, who the young left-hander was the winner against Mel Saddelmeyer.
861
01:09:51,620 --> 01:09:55,620
And now this one, already 4-3. We're in the bottom of the second two-out.
862
01:09:55,620 --> 01:10:00,620
But the Yankees threatening with Jake Gibbs' second and Horace Clark at third.
863
01:10:00,620 --> 01:10:05,620
And Bobby Mercer the batter.
864
01:10:05,620 --> 01:10:10,620
Meanwhile, as we told you in that first game out at Cleveland,
865
01:10:10,620 --> 01:10:13,620
the Indians behind Dean Chance shut out Baltimore, but in the second game,
866
01:10:13,620 --> 01:10:15,620
Baltimore scored three times.
867
01:10:15,620 --> 01:10:21,620
And at the end of two innings, they lead Cleveland 3-0 in that second game.
868
01:10:21,620 --> 01:10:27,620
We'll give you all the scores of all the other games at the end of the third inning.
869
01:10:27,620 --> 01:10:31,620
Right now, Mercer ready, the Tigers ready, and so is our Bob Gammier.
870
01:10:31,620 --> 01:10:35,620
All right, so Bobby Mercer steps in. First base is open.
871
01:10:35,620 --> 01:10:39,620
Gibbs is on second. Horace Clark is on third.
872
01:10:39,620 --> 01:10:47,620
Tigers leading at 4-3 after winning the opener 3-1.
873
01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:51,620
Here's the windup. The first pitch to Mercer is low for ball one.
874
01:10:51,620 --> 01:10:56,620
Might have been a little outside. One ball and no strike.
875
01:10:56,620 --> 01:11:00,620
Joe Necrow takes one and three-thirds innings.
876
01:11:00,620 --> 01:11:04,620
He's given up three runs to two runners of his responsibility.
877
01:11:04,620 --> 01:11:08,620
Only three hits. The walk's got him in trouble. He gave up three walks.
878
01:11:08,620 --> 01:11:12,620
One-and-oh to count, to stretch. The pitch to Bobby Mercer.
879
01:11:12,620 --> 01:11:17,620
Third and after the call, strike at one and one.
880
01:11:17,620 --> 01:11:21,620
Bobby Mercer drew a walk on a three-and-two pitch in the first inning.
881
01:11:21,620 --> 01:11:25,620
Four to three, Detroit leading the nightcap after winning the opener 2-1.
882
01:11:25,620 --> 01:11:27,620
We're only in the second inning.
883
01:11:27,620 --> 01:11:31,620
The stretch and the pitch. Mercer swings and Mercer strikes two.
884
01:11:31,620 --> 01:11:35,620
One ball and three strikes. They didn't even get close to that one.
885
01:11:35,620 --> 01:11:40,620
One and two to count on Mercer.
886
01:11:40,620 --> 01:11:47,620
Final naps. The late score. The Pirates beat the Phillies 4-0 in the first game of the double header.
887
01:11:47,620 --> 01:11:51,620
One ball and two strikes. That will keep the Pirates in first place.
888
01:11:51,620 --> 01:11:57,620
Here's the stretch. Hiller delivers Mercer takes high and a two-and-zero.
889
01:11:57,620 --> 01:12:13,620
Two balls and two strikes.
890
01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:19,620
John Hiller looks in to get the sign from Jim Price.
891
01:12:19,620 --> 01:12:22,620
Mercer brings it to the belt.
892
01:12:22,620 --> 01:12:25,620
Here's the pitch. Swinging a foul ball to the Tiger dugout.
893
01:12:25,620 --> 01:12:28,620
That bounces around the dugout.
894
01:12:28,620 --> 01:12:32,620
He never did get back out, but we could see it in two different places bouncing around.
895
01:12:32,620 --> 01:12:34,620
Two balls and two strikes.
896
01:12:34,620 --> 01:12:39,620
Now they throw it out of there.
897
01:12:39,620 --> 01:12:42,620
Cleveland got a run on the bottom of the third.
898
01:12:42,620 --> 01:12:46,620
It's Baltimore three and Cleveland one after three.
899
01:12:46,620 --> 01:12:50,620
Two balls, two strikes and two outs.
900
01:12:50,620 --> 01:12:54,620
The stretch and the pitch. Swinging a most-striked play on the side of the tire.
901
01:12:54,620 --> 01:12:57,620
No runs, one hit, no errors and two outs.
902
01:12:57,620 --> 01:13:03,620
At the end of two is the Tigers four and the Yankees three.
903
01:13:03,620 --> 01:13:08,620
The New York Yankees are proud to announce that all you fans in the Utica metro area

01:13:39,620 --> 01:13:43,620
You too can now make your ticket reservations for Yankee ball games
911
01:13:43,620 --> 01:13:47,620
at the service of the Yankees AAA affiliate, the Syracuse Chiefs.
912
01:13:47,620 --> 01:13:51,620
If you're attending a game in MacArthur Stadium, you can do it right there at the box office
913
01:13:51,620 --> 01:13:56,620
or call Bruce Baker at 474-7833.
914
01:13:56,620 --> 01:14:00,620
By mail, just drop your ticket order and check to Bruce Baker, Syracuse Chief,
915
01:14:00,620 --> 01:14:04,620
MacArthur Stadium, Syracuse, New York.
916
01:14:04,620 --> 01:14:06,620
All right, Steve Hamilton.
917
01:14:06,620 --> 01:14:10,620
That hand was for Austin Howard who had come out to warm up Steve Hamilton
918
01:14:10,620 --> 01:14:12,620
while Jake Gibbs was getting the gear on.
919
01:14:12,620 --> 01:14:15,620
Now Jake is back there with all the gear on.
920
01:14:15,620 --> 01:14:18,620
Hamilton just about ready to conclude his warm up.
921
01:14:18,620 --> 01:14:21,620
And he'll be pitching at the bottom fair to the order.
922
01:14:21,620 --> 01:14:25,620
Price, Gutierrez, and the new pitcher, John Hiller.
923
01:14:25,620 --> 01:14:29,620
Bob Elsel, they held up the second game of the year.
924
01:14:29,620 --> 01:14:34,620
The first game ended early, but they won an hour with two innings.
925
01:14:34,620 --> 01:14:36,620
It was exciting baseball.
926
01:14:36,620 --> 01:14:37,620
Yes, it was.
927
01:14:37,620 --> 01:14:40,620
By the time the night's over, they may be sorry that we held it up a little.
928
01:14:40,620 --> 01:14:44,620
All right, we got set for the top half of the third inning.
929
01:14:44,620 --> 01:14:48,620
Tigers leading it 4-3.
930
01:14:48,620 --> 01:14:54,620
And it looks as if both ball clubs are going to wind up using a lot of players before this is over.
931
01:14:54,620 --> 01:14:59,620
Jim Price steps in and into a fourth play to end the first inning.
932
01:14:59,620 --> 01:15:04,620
Outstanding player was by Gene Michael who went way over in the hole and came up with it.
933
01:15:04,620 --> 01:15:06,620
Steve Hamilton is the windup and the pitch.
934
01:15:06,620 --> 01:15:09,620
Price takes outside for ball one.
935
01:15:09,620 --> 01:15:11,620
Got to watch for the floater any time now.
936
01:15:11,620 --> 01:15:15,620
He couldn't throw the folly floater last inning because there were men on base.
937
01:15:15,620 --> 01:15:17,620
One ball and no strike.
938
01:15:17,620 --> 01:15:19,620
Hamilton winds the pitch.
939
01:15:19,620 --> 01:15:24,620
Curve in there for the call.
940
01:15:24,620 --> 01:15:26,620
Strike and it's one and one.
941
01:15:26,620 --> 01:15:28,620
One ball, one strike.
942
01:15:28,620 --> 01:15:31,620
Tigers leading 4-3 in the third inning of the night cap.
943
01:15:31,620 --> 01:15:37,620
They won the opener 2-1.
944
01:15:37,620 --> 01:15:39,620
Steve Hamilton winds the left hander.
945
01:15:39,620 --> 01:15:40,620
Throws the floater.
946
01:15:40,620 --> 01:15:41,620
Here it comes.
947
01:15:41,620 --> 01:15:44,620
Price swings a high pop-up ball outside of third.
948
01:15:44,620 --> 01:15:45,620
Penny over to the rally.
949
01:15:45,620 --> 01:15:46,620
He can't get it.
950
01:15:46,620 --> 01:15:47,620
In the space it goes.
951
01:15:47,620 --> 01:15:49,620
Strike.
952
01:15:49,620 --> 01:15:57,620
One and two.
953
01:15:57,620 --> 01:16:02,620
I want to tell you Price was ready to come back and Price almost hit the umpire.
954
01:16:02,620 --> 01:16:03,620
He went back so far.
955
01:16:03,620 --> 01:16:08,620
He was really leaning with that pitch all the way and he almost hit it straight up in the air.
956
01:16:08,620 --> 01:16:12,620
He wanted to hit it so badly.
957
01:16:12,620 --> 01:16:15,620
Hamilton really gets the crowd alive with that pitch.
958
01:16:15,620 --> 01:16:17,620
Alright, one ball, two strikes.
959
01:16:17,620 --> 01:16:19,620
Hamilton ends the wind up.
960
01:16:19,620 --> 01:16:20,620
Stopped the pop-up.
961
01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:22,620
Fastball, swung on and foul.
962
01:16:22,620 --> 01:16:25,620
And that was the folly faker.
963
01:16:25,620 --> 01:16:27,620
So they call that the hesitation hummer.
964
01:16:27,620 --> 01:16:30,620
A hesitation hummer.
965
01:16:30,620 --> 01:16:36,620
Well what it is is he makes believe that he's going to throw the folly floater and then just whips it in.
966
01:16:36,620 --> 01:16:38,620
One and two.
967
01:16:38,620 --> 01:16:41,620
Look at Price.
968
01:16:41,620 --> 01:16:45,620
Price is going to get the pine car.
969
01:16:45,620 --> 01:16:49,620
One ball and two strikes on him.
970
01:16:49,620 --> 01:16:52,620
Price the first man up here in the third inning.
971
01:16:52,620 --> 01:16:53,620
Four to three.
972
01:16:53,620 --> 01:16:57,620
The Tigers lead the Yankees.
973
01:16:57,620 --> 01:17:00,620
Hamilton made out he was going to throw that blooper kick.
974
01:17:00,620 --> 01:17:06,620
You know people who haven't been following Yankee baseball, we've got to always explain it so they don't think we're crazy.
975
01:17:06,620 --> 01:17:07,620
What did do?
976
01:17:07,620 --> 01:17:09,620
Here's the wind up.
977
01:17:09,620 --> 01:17:14,620
Regular curveball lined over second for a base hit in the center field.
978
01:17:14,620 --> 01:17:17,620
So Jim Price gets a base hit.
979
01:17:17,620 --> 01:17:22,620
As Hamilton explained it's great on that one and a wind up a line drive base hit.
980
01:17:22,620 --> 01:17:29,620
He got foul balls on the folly floater and the hesitation hummer.
981
01:17:29,620 --> 01:17:33,620
And then he just tried a regular curveball and Price got a base hit.
982
01:17:33,620 --> 01:17:38,620
Here seems a goodie arrow to fly it out to right field the first time up.
983
01:17:38,620 --> 01:17:42,620
Fans of course would love to see Hamilton stay in there and do well.
984
01:17:42,620 --> 01:17:45,620
If they get a chance maybe to see it next inning again.
985
01:17:45,620 --> 01:17:47,620
The pitch to goodie arrows.
986
01:17:47,620 --> 01:17:50,620
Hard ground ball foul outside of third strike one.
987
01:17:50,620 --> 01:17:55,620
He was taking the bunt that time and on the last minute he stepped back and he swung.
988
01:17:55,620 --> 01:18:09,620
No balls in one strike.
989
01:18:09,620 --> 01:18:11,620
All in one the goodie arrow.
990
01:18:11,620 --> 01:18:18,620
Tigers leading it 4-3 top half of the third inning.
991
01:18:18,620 --> 01:18:20,620
The stretch and the pitch.
992
01:18:20,620 --> 01:18:22,620
Hit in the air foul and into the feet.
993
01:18:22,620 --> 01:18:24,620
Right field side hits in the upper deck and back down.
994
01:18:24,620 --> 01:18:28,620
No balls and two strikes.
995
01:18:28,620 --> 01:18:31,620
Tigers leading 4-3 top half of the third inning.
996
01:18:31,620 --> 01:18:35,620
Yankees won the rest of the Tigers won the opener 2-1.
997
01:18:35,620 --> 01:18:44,620
But there's been more excitement in two innings plus in this game than there was in the entire nine innings of the opener.
998
01:18:44,620 --> 01:18:48,620
No balls and two strikes to count on goodie arrows.
999
01:18:48,620 --> 01:18:57,620
That folly floater is a huge blue bookmark that Hamilton just throw fatally right up in the air and it just floats down in the vicinity of the plate.
1000
01:18:57,620 --> 01:19:01,620
Floater first getting back is Jim Price.
1001
01:19:01,620 --> 01:19:09,620
And the hesitation Hummer is when he fakes that he's going to do it on the next pitch and then just whips it in fast.
1002
01:19:09,620 --> 01:19:12,620
No balls and two strikes to goodie arrows.
1003
01:19:12,620 --> 01:19:20,620
The pitch hit on the ground foul outside of third.
1004
01:19:20,620 --> 01:19:24,620
Roe Verwezenger the third base coach had to dance out of the way of that one.
1005
01:19:24,620 --> 01:19:35,620
No balls and two strikes.
1006
01:19:35,620 --> 01:19:37,620
Steve Hamelin checks the run up right.
1007
01:19:37,620 --> 01:19:41,620
The pitch to goodie arrows hit on the ground foul outside of third again.
1008
01:19:41,620 --> 01:19:46,620
And there's still no balls and two strikes.
1009
01:19:46,620 --> 01:19:53,620
Hamilton cannot throw either the folly floater or the hesitation Hummer with a man on base.
1010
01:19:53,620 --> 01:19:55,620
It would be ruled a loss.
1011
01:19:55,620 --> 01:19:59,620
He got a decision from the league president on that.
1012
01:19:59,620 --> 01:20:03,620
Oh Hamilton still gives pretty good reasons why it shouldn't be.
1013
01:20:03,620 --> 01:20:10,620
Nonetheless he abides by the decision. He's allowed to throw it with nobody on but he can't throw it with somebody on base.
1014
01:20:10,620 --> 01:20:13,620
No balls two strikes to goodie arrows.
1015
01:20:13,620 --> 01:20:16,620
Which is John Hiller's on deck. Here's the pitch.
1016
01:20:16,620 --> 01:20:19,620
He just reaches out with the base hit in the center field.
1017
01:20:19,620 --> 01:20:25,620
Down a second goes twice. He holds on. Goodie arrows makes a big turn at first for some reason and then goes back.
1018
01:20:25,620 --> 01:20:30,620
He just reached out his bat and flunked it in the center field.
1019
01:20:30,620 --> 01:20:34,620
And the Tigers have back to back singles to start off the third inning.
1020
01:20:34,620 --> 01:20:39,620
And John Hiller will be coming up at an obvious bump situation.
1021
01:20:39,620 --> 01:20:47,620
No doubt it'll be the bunt and Hiller a left hand batter.
1022
01:20:47,620 --> 01:20:53,620
He's trying to lay one down and this should be interesting if he does lay one down they get a good shot.
1023
01:20:53,620 --> 01:20:58,620
For a price at third base price with not too much speed.
1024
01:20:58,620 --> 01:21:03,620
Left hand pitch to that best right hander.
1025
01:21:03,620 --> 01:21:09,620
Gene Michael is coming in to talk to Steve Hamilton about the possibilities here.
1026
01:21:09,620 --> 01:21:12,620
Tigers have them on again first and second and nobody out.
1027
01:21:12,620 --> 01:21:16,620
They lead four to three in the top half of the third inning.
1028
01:21:16,620 --> 01:21:20,620
And a wild and willing nightcap.
1029
01:21:20,620 --> 01:21:24,620
All right look at Pete Waters he's almost at the plate the pitch.
1030
01:21:24,620 --> 01:21:31,620
Low for ball one. One ball and no strikes.
1031
01:21:31,620 --> 01:21:36,620
Jerry Kenny did not come in that much. He's anchoring at third.
1032
01:21:36,620 --> 01:21:40,620
Thought the idea for Hiller would be to bunt it down towards third. Draw Kenny in.
1033
01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:43,620
The stretch. Squares around. Bunts the ball right in front of the plate.
1034
01:21:43,620 --> 01:21:48,620
Hamilton over to Kenny for one. The throw to first base. Safe at first base.
1035
01:21:48,620 --> 01:21:52,620
Just missed that big triangle double play.
1036
01:21:52,620 --> 01:21:55,620
But they get the key man at third base.
1037
01:21:55,620 --> 01:21:59,620
Jim Price four to third and he was out by a mile.
1038
01:21:59,620 --> 01:22:02,620
Bunted right back to Hamilton right where the Yankees would like it.
1039
01:22:02,620 --> 01:22:05,620
Especially with the left handed pitcher he just had to whoop it over there.
1040
01:22:05,620 --> 01:22:08,620
And Kenny alertly threw on the first and just missed.
1041
01:22:08,620 --> 01:22:14,620
That big Steve bounced around real well for the veteran that he is.
1042
01:22:14,620 --> 01:22:17,620
One out and here's Dalton Jones and they haven't gotten him out yet.
1043
01:22:17,620 --> 01:22:21,620
He's at a home run on the walk.
1044
01:22:21,620 --> 01:22:25,620
Didn't hit the walk he got a walk. The pitch. Swing it in that strike one.
1045
01:22:25,620 --> 01:22:32,620
No balls in one strike. Jones first chance to bat against Hamilton.
1046
01:22:32,620 --> 01:22:36,620
Tigers leading it four to three. First and second and one out.
1047
01:22:36,620 --> 01:22:39,620
Jones a wicked line drive hitter was the rule. Here's the pitch.
1048
01:22:39,620 --> 01:22:41,620
Curve is outside and it's one and one.
1049
01:22:41,620 --> 01:22:45,620
Here's a fellow Phil. A lot of people always thought it would really be a good hitter in the big leagues.
1050
01:22:45,620 --> 01:22:48,620
And somehow he just hasn't reached his potential.
1051
01:22:48,620 --> 01:22:53,620
It's a strange case it really is. The only thing is they have never found a spot for him to play permanently.
1052
01:22:53,620 --> 01:22:57,620
There was no doubt they everybody knew he could hit but they just couldn't find a spot for him to play.
1053
01:22:57,620 --> 01:23:01,620
One on one the Jones the pitch. Swing line drive hit deep to right.
1054
01:23:01,620 --> 01:23:05,620
Lefty going back he has room. He has the ball. Two out.
1055
01:23:05,620 --> 01:23:09,620
Gidderich tag goes to third holding up first to tell her.
1056
01:23:09,620 --> 01:23:11,620
One is on first and dead and two out.
1057
01:23:11,620 --> 01:23:15,620
And there was another Jones line drive right on the button.
1058
01:23:15,620 --> 01:23:23,620
All right two out. So now Steve Hamilton is one out away from getting out of it here on the top of the third.
1059
01:23:23,620 --> 01:23:30,620
Tigers got two in the first. The Yankees got three in the first on a home run by Roy White a three run blast.
1060
01:23:30,620 --> 01:23:32,620
Tigers got two in the second.
1061
01:23:32,620 --> 01:23:36,620
Yankees had second and third in the bottom of the second but didn't get them in.
1062
01:23:36,620 --> 01:23:39,620
The Tigers here at first and second nobody out but they haven't scored yet.
1063
01:23:39,620 --> 01:23:44,620
First and third and two out.
1064
01:23:44,620 --> 01:23:47,620
Gutierrez who can move is on third.
1065
01:23:47,620 --> 01:23:56,620
Hillary Cant on first. The pitch outside for ball one.
1066
01:23:56,620 --> 01:24:00,620
One ball and no strikes. Stanley's been tough all night. He's got a walking single in this game.
1067
01:24:00,620 --> 01:24:04,620
First game he had a triple and a double and scored both their runs.
1068
01:24:04,620 --> 01:24:10,620
The stretch. The pitch Stanley takes. Just missed the corner. Two balls and no strikes.
1069
01:24:10,620 --> 01:24:13,620
That didn't miss by an awful lot.
1070
01:24:13,620 --> 01:24:16,620
Two and all to count.
1071
01:24:16,620 --> 01:24:20,620
Fans enjoying the second game.
1072
01:24:20,620 --> 01:24:32,620
Yankee fans would love to see them win it. Pitch hit on the ground foul and it's two and one.
1073
01:24:32,620 --> 01:24:38,620
Phil and I have often debated the merits of those low scoring games compared to a three for all like this.
1074
01:24:38,620 --> 01:24:41,620
Now you couldn't say that first game was more exciting than this could you Phil?
1075
01:24:41,620 --> 01:24:43,620
I could Bob.
1076
01:24:43,620 --> 01:24:47,620
Hit on the ground between third and short. It's in the left field for a base hit.
1077
01:24:47,620 --> 01:24:54,620
Hillary goes to second. Gutierrez is in the score. And that Mickey Stanley has done it again.
1078
01:24:54,620 --> 01:25:00,620
Two singles and a walk in three innings. He walked in the first, singles in the second, singles here in the third.
1079
01:25:00,620 --> 01:25:06,620
And that's after scoring both runs following a triple and a double in the first game.
1080
01:25:06,620 --> 01:25:16,620
Five to three the Tigers lead it.
1081
01:25:16,620 --> 01:25:21,620
Ike Brown the next batter. Ike came up as a pinch hitter for Gates Brown in the second inning.
1082
01:25:21,620 --> 01:25:26,620
It was the first batter that Hamilton faced. And he hit a little ground ball the first day.
1083
01:25:26,620 --> 01:25:30,620
Pete Ward hesitated. Been through a home and it was too late.
1084
01:25:30,620 --> 01:25:41,620
Five to three the Tigers. H. Gordon every inning. Hamilton's pitch high for ball one. One ball and no strike.
1085
01:25:41,620 --> 01:25:48,620
Pitches of record right now. Stan Bonson.
1086
01:25:48,620 --> 01:26:00,620
And John Hiller. The stretch and the pitch. Swing and a miss and what a cut he took. One and one.
1087
01:26:00,620 --> 01:26:06,620
Bonson left with one out in the second inning.
1088
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:20,620
Here's the pitch. Curve is in there for the call. Strike and it's one and two.
1089
01:26:20,620 --> 01:26:28,620
The stretch and the pitch. Swing and a pop up foul coming back and onto the screen.
1090
01:26:28,620 --> 01:26:36,620
One ball and two strikes.
1091
01:26:36,620 --> 01:26:41,620
Stan Bonson gave up two runs in the first inning on two hits. One of which was a home run by Jones.
1092
01:26:41,620 --> 01:26:46,620
Second inning he faced four men. Got one out, two hits and a walk.
1093
01:26:46,620 --> 01:26:52,620
Pitch a little blooper hit in the center field. Bobby Mercer under it and he makes the catch to the Tigers' diet.
1094
01:26:52,620 --> 01:26:55,620
Brown did not get good wood on that ball.
1095
01:26:55,620 --> 01:26:59,620
Actually didn't get his body behind it and it flies out to center field.
1096
01:26:59,620 --> 01:27:04,620
However the Tigers get another run in the third inning. They have three hits, no Yankees errors and two left.
1097
01:27:04,620 --> 01:27:08,620
At the end of two and a half the Tigers five and the Yankees three.

Speaking of our favorite ball team, let's get back to today's game.
1108
01:28:17,620 --> 01:28:21,620
I was on the bottom of the third. Detroit leading 5-3. The Tigers have seven hits.
1109
01:28:21,620 --> 01:28:29,620
The Yankees have three. And for the Yankees, Roy White who hit the three run homer in the first inning will be ready to lead off.
1110
01:28:29,620 --> 01:28:34,620
Only this time Roy will be switching around about right handed against the left handed John Hiller.
1111
01:28:34,620 --> 01:28:36,620
And here is Bob.
1112
01:28:36,620 --> 01:28:45,620
Alright, Roy White steps in. He'll get a nice hand following that three run homer that he hit.
1113
01:28:45,620 --> 01:28:55,620
First pitch to Roy. Swing and a foul back. Strike one. No balls and one strike.
1114
01:28:55,620 --> 01:29:00,620
White hitting an even three hundredth. His average fell below the three hundred mark in the first game of the doubleheader.
1115
01:29:00,620 --> 01:29:03,620
The first time since the fourth game of the season.
1116
01:29:03,620 --> 01:29:14,620
Hiller delivers. White takes outside. The ball and it's one and one.
1117
01:29:14,620 --> 01:29:17,620
Hiller has only started one game in 31 appearances.
1118
01:29:17,620 --> 01:29:26,620
White lives one beyond second but going back to make the catch second baseman Dalton Jones and there's one out.
1119
01:29:26,620 --> 01:29:31,620
One up and one down.
1120
01:29:31,620 --> 01:29:38,620
And it brings up Danny Cader who is going to pinch hit for Pete Ward.
1121
01:29:38,620 --> 01:29:42,620
Look down and saw Cader and you more or less expect him because he plays his most ball games.
1122
01:29:42,620 --> 01:29:53,620
But I just realized Pete Ward is expected to bat so Cader is the pinch hitter.
1123
01:29:53,620 --> 01:29:58,620
Danny Cader is a pinch hitter. One out in the bottom of the third. Five to three the Tigers later.
1124
01:29:58,620 --> 01:30:01,620
Cader will probably go in to play first base.
1125
01:30:01,620 --> 01:30:15,620
Hiller winds and delivers outside for ball one. One ball and no strike.
1126
01:30:15,620 --> 01:30:20,620
Here's the wind up and the pitch. Swing and a miss for the call. Strike and it's one and one.
1127
01:30:20,620 --> 01:30:27,620
One ball one strike to Danny Cader. Roy White has popped out to start off the bottom of the third.
1128
01:30:27,620 --> 01:30:34,620
Five to three the Tigers lead it. First game of the Tigers two to one.
1129
01:30:34,620 --> 01:30:40,620
The wind up by Hiller and the pitch. Swing and a bounce to the third. Big hop and it's stayed with it by Ward.
1130
01:30:40,620 --> 01:30:46,620
A throw to first is in time. Ward really stayed with that one. A huge hop and he just smothered it in his chest.
1131
01:30:46,620 --> 01:30:50,620
And he made the play on Danny Cader. Two out.
1132
01:30:50,620 --> 01:30:57,620
Well this has been a very quiet bottom of the third inning. Two up and two down. It brings up Kirk Leffrie.
1133
01:30:57,620 --> 01:31:15,620
Leffrie flat out to center field his first time up.
1134
01:31:15,620 --> 01:31:20,620
Hiller will have a complete run down on the straws for you after the next out.
1135
01:31:20,620 --> 01:31:25,620
Five to three the Tigers lead it. Bottom of the third.
1136
01:31:25,620 --> 01:31:29,620
Hiller into the wind up and the pitch. High for ball one. One ball and no strike.
1137
01:31:29,620 --> 01:31:37,620
Hiller doesn't look like the type of release pitcher who can go all the way from the second inning either.
1138
01:31:37,620 --> 01:31:41,620
The pitch hit for a long drive to right field. Maybe a little bit too high.
1139
01:31:41,620 --> 01:31:45,620
Coming in and under it is Northrop. He makes the catch and the side retires.
1140
01:31:45,620 --> 01:31:50,620
Leffrie got under that ball just a little bit too much. No runs, no hits, no arrows and nobody left.
1141
01:31:50,620 --> 01:31:58,620
At the end of three the Tigers five, the Yankees three. For the scores in the next three innings Phil Lizudo.
1142
01:31:58,620 --> 01:32:03,620
All right on the scoreboard Cleveland shut out the Orioles four nothing. Dean chance to win it all the way.
1143
01:32:03,620 --> 01:32:11,620
Way out the loser. Tony Horton home in the first with two on and Greg Nettles in the sixth and seventeenth.
1144
01:32:11,620 --> 01:32:16,620
In the second game at the end of four and a half is Baltimore three Cleveland one Hardin against Dunning.
1145
01:32:16,620 --> 01:32:25,620
The Senators lead the Red Sox three to two at the end of seven. Hardenstein against Cox and Mike Andrews got his 11th home run of the year and the third for the Red Sox.
1146
01:32:25,620 --> 01:32:30,620
The White Sox beat Milwaukee seven to three this afternoon. Janeski the winner downing the loser.
1147
01:32:30,620 --> 01:32:36,620
Bill Melton got his 20th home run of the year for the White Sox. Oakland three Kansas City nothing and a two.
1148
01:32:36,620 --> 01:32:43,620
Seguir for Oakland. Rooker started Fitzmaurice in the second. Angels fail to score on the top of the first twins batting.
1149
01:32:43,620 --> 01:32:48,620
Messer Smith against Zep. The Mets fail to score on the top of the first Cardinals batting.
1150
01:32:48,620 --> 01:32:52,620
It's Sievers 16 and five against Nelson Briles with the Cardinals.
1151
01:32:52,620 --> 01:32:56,620
Pittsburgh shut out the Phillies four nothing in the first game. Ellis the winner bunning the loser.
1152
01:32:56,620 --> 01:33:04,620
That game took only one hour and 47 minutes to play. Second game Phillies scored two in the first. Pirates batting.
1153
01:33:04,620 --> 01:33:11,620
And at the end of one half inning is Phillies two. Pirates nothing. Champion against Dow Canton.
1154
01:33:11,620 --> 01:33:16,620
Cubs two Montreal nothing and a four Holtzman against Morton.
1155
01:33:16,620 --> 01:33:21,620
A Giants beat Cincinnati nine three. Reberg of the winner Washburn the loser.
1156
01:33:21,620 --> 01:33:28,620
Tony Perez got his 30 second home run of the year and now has 100 RBI's on the year and the first pitch.
1157
01:33:28,620 --> 01:33:35,620
What a play by Clark. The throw. He dropped it. Oh he was just ready to call him out.
1158
01:33:35,620 --> 01:33:42,620
As Norm Cash hit a ground ball over second. Clark made a great backhand stop. His throw would have been in time.
1159
01:33:42,620 --> 01:33:47,620
A little low. Danny Cater dropped the ball. It'll go as a base hit.
1160
01:33:47,620 --> 01:33:58,620
A fine effort by Horace Clark. And it's a base hit for Norm Cash who has now walked twice and single.
1161
01:33:58,620 --> 01:34:05,620
And now Rush Nagleton who bounced the second and struck out.
1162
01:34:05,620 --> 01:34:12,620
William McCovey got his 28th home of the year with two on for the Giants in that game. Nagleton takes the strike.
1163
01:34:12,620 --> 01:34:25,620
The Dodgers at L.A. a latest start and Houston at San Diego a latest start.
1164
01:34:25,620 --> 01:34:30,620
One strike. The Yankees trailing five three.
1165
01:34:30,620 --> 01:34:48,620
Steve Hamilton in relief of Stan Bonson. Throw to first base and Cash is back.
1166
01:34:48,620 --> 01:34:58,620
Hamilton's first style on Kirk Bonnet. It's a beauty. Kenny up with it. Fires the first just in time.
1167
01:34:58,620 --> 01:35:05,620
That play goes five to three. Third baseman of the first baseman covering it's a sacrifice.
1168
01:35:05,620 --> 01:35:11,620
Beautiful sacrifice by Nagleton who brings up downward. Worth single right. They drive in a run in the first inning.
1169
01:35:11,620 --> 01:35:20,620
Fly to left in the second. And I might add fly deep to left with the bases loaded.
1170
01:35:20,620 --> 01:35:27,620
He's set wide back on the warning track almost against the fence near the 402 foot sign.
1171
01:35:27,620 --> 01:35:33,620
In a long three innings Frank Messer. It has and I'm going to shake you up in just a second.
1172
01:35:33,620 --> 01:35:37,620
All right one out. Word swings pops it up it's playable.
1173
01:35:37,620 --> 01:35:42,620
Jake Gibbs and look out Cater now Gibbs calls and makes the catch.
1174
01:35:42,620 --> 01:35:50,620
And it's two away. And the battle will be Jimmy Price who is bounced to short and single center.
1175
01:35:50,620 --> 01:36:01,620
Looking back at that ball Norm Cash hit. Yes. Would you believe an error has been charged to Danny Cater. Oh no I don't believe it.
1176
01:36:01,620 --> 01:36:12,620
Who is our official score tonight. Joe Donnelly I believe. Joe Donnelly. I believe so. I will have to be given Mr. Donnelly a call.
1177
01:36:12,620 --> 01:36:17,620
Unbelievable. If there were to be an error I think I'd have to go the other way. Yes.
1178
01:36:17,620 --> 01:36:22,620
The throw is in the dirt right. There's a ball popped to shallow right field. Bluffery will have to hurry.
1179
01:36:22,620 --> 01:36:26,620
Digging looses the hat. Look out and Flock. He makes the run.
1180
01:36:26,620 --> 01:36:34,620
Holy cow how Flock ever got there I'll never know. I thought Bluffery was the only one that had a chance to catch it.
1181
01:36:34,620 --> 01:36:40,620
But Flock came out of nowhere as a part of the collision made a great play.
1182
01:36:40,620 --> 01:36:50,620
Well as of now no runs no hits one error and a man left. And at the end of three and a half it's Detroit five and the Yankees three.
1183
01:36:50,620 --> 01:36:57,620
Well while Phil goes to argue with the official score.
1184
01:36:57,620 --> 01:37:02,620
We're going to tell you about something that's always very very worthwhile.
1185
01:37:02,620 --> 01:37:13,620
And that is the annual baseball game between the Yankees and the New York Mets the Mayor's Trophy game for the proceeds going to further the Sandlot baseball program here in the New York area.
1186
01:37:13,620 --> 01:37:20,620
Certainly for a very worthwhile cause everybody always has a lot of fun and don't you think these players don't go all out to win that ballgame.
1187
01:37:20,620 --> 01:37:29,620
Of the seven games played the Mets have won five so the Yankees have some catching up to do and they'll try to catch start catching up here in their own backyard.
1188
01:37:29,620 --> 01:37:40,620
Yankee Stadium Monday night August 17th the eighth annual Mayor's Trophy game will start at seven o'clock Monday night August 17th.
1189
01:37:40,620 --> 01:37:46,620
So we hope you'll get your tickets and be on hand and enjoy the fun enjoy good baseball game.
1190
01:37:46,620 --> 01:37:57,620
I know that as you buy your ticket you're helping the kids in New York to play Sandlot baseball by furthering that program.
1191
01:37:57,620 --> 01:38:00,620
Well you're back. Yes I'm back.
1192
01:38:00,620 --> 01:38:06,620
I have made my call and Joe Donnelly is thinking it over.
1193
01:38:06,620 --> 01:38:22,620
I'll let you know in just a little while whether I've persuaded him to change his call is Jerry Kenny swings and this is strike one Jerry struck out his first time.
1194
01:38:22,620 --> 01:38:23,620
Thank you.
1195
01:38:23,620 --> 01:38:27,620
The three and the bottom of the fourth.
1196
01:38:27,620 --> 01:38:32,620
He'll his pitch high and tight one of my.
1197
01:38:32,620 --> 01:38:41,620
So neither Joe Negros nor Stan Bonson stayed around very long in this ballgame as both clubs had their hitting shoes on very early in the game as a curve outside.
1198
01:38:41,620 --> 01:38:54,620
One thing we see that quite often fill the first game with double header see a tight pitchers dual second game the hitters really break out and you can't figure it out.
1199
01:38:54,620 --> 01:38:55,620
There's a strike on the outside.
1200
01:38:55,620 --> 01:38:57,620
There's no rhyme or reason for it.
1201
01:38:57,620 --> 01:39:10,620
You would think the second game be just the opposite players might be so tired but here it is the first game a two to one thriller and this one looks like it could be any sort of pops it up that third base downward and foul territory makes the catch right
1202
01:39:10,620 --> 01:39:20,620
because of and there's one away that'll bring up Jean Michael Jean line hard to first base his first time up.
1203
01:39:20,620 --> 01:39:37,620
I guess for two in the first two in the second one in the third all three Yankee runs coming in the bottom of the first on a three run homer by raw white Johnny Ellis is on deck so it looks like that's going to be all for Steve Hamilton.
1204
01:39:37,620 --> 01:39:47,620
First pitch is strike one a game Michael.
1205
01:39:47,620 --> 01:39:53,620
He started a bunch takes it in a strike two call.
1206
01:39:53,620 --> 01:40:03,620
Nothing in to
1207
01:40:03,620 --> 01:40:17,620
feel straight away on James batting right handed against the left handed hill of the curve outside one ball two strikes.
1208
01:40:17,620 --> 01:40:20,620
A beautiful night for this twin bill.
1209
01:40:20,620 --> 01:40:37,620
One to pretty curve outside and it's true and true.
1210
01:40:37,620 --> 01:40:51,620
The two to pitch low and inside ball three.
1211
01:40:51,620 --> 01:40:54,620
Your old law fair first game in Cleveland.
1212
01:40:54,620 --> 01:41:00,620
As a line drive in a left center field by coming on as Stanley and he makes the catch.
1213
01:41:00,620 --> 01:41:04,620
And we pause for station identification.
1214
01:41:04,620 --> 01:41:17,620
This is Shannon in the morning coming your way Monday through Saturday 530 to 10 here on the fresh air sound of radio 81 W. G. Weiss connected.
1215
01:41:17,620 --> 01:41:21,620
Oh, very Johnny Ellis comes on.
1216
01:41:21,620 --> 01:41:24,620
Do the batting.
1217
01:41:24,620 --> 01:41:31,620
You are there and nobody on.
1218
01:41:31,620 --> 01:41:48,620
John Hiller getting the time he wine is pitch outside and high ball one.
1219
01:41:48,620 --> 01:41:55,620
This will fall back on the screen.
1220
01:41:55,620 --> 01:42:03,620
One ball one strike to.
1221
01:42:03,620 --> 01:42:22,620
Bill kicks off speed pitch line hard but foul in the seats alongside the left field by line.
1222
01:42:22,620 --> 01:42:26,620
There's a one to delivery fastball foul just below it.
1223
01:42:26,620 --> 01:42:31,620
That's a new dance step that Frank messages came up with you should have seen it.
1224
01:42:31,620 --> 01:42:36,620
The end Adam for the left right side was purely a quick.
1225
01:42:36,620 --> 01:42:45,620
He started to go for it and was coming back to bed as I lean to my right frankly into his left.
1226
01:42:45,620 --> 01:42:50,620
Once you pitch again line deep but foul a left field.
1227
01:42:50,620 --> 01:42:53,620
I was just leaning out of the way to give you room to catch that one.
1228
01:42:53,620 --> 01:43:09,620
Now listen you're a lot better than we had a couple red barbers soon as a foul was that he'd go right underneath the table.
1229
01:43:09,620 --> 01:43:11,620
Somebody just brought a check to Frank Mesa.
1230
01:43:11,620 --> 01:43:15,620
How do you like that.
1231
01:43:15,620 --> 01:43:26,620
The one to pitch hard line drive caught by Don word fall it right on the button to line drive that ending but no basis.
1232
01:43:26,620 --> 01:43:37,620
Nobody left and at the end of four full innings it's Detroit five and the Yankees three mid Hudson Yankee fans attention.
1233
01:43:37,620 --> 01:43:44,620
You can now make all your Yankee ticket reservations without leaving the W.B.N.R. broadcast area.
1234
01:43:44,620 --> 01:43:56,620
In cooperation with the Fishkill National Bank and the Wayne Oldsmobile and Cadillac you can make your ticket plans for each and every Yankee game through September 27th right in the Beacon Newburgh area.

They've got five conveniently located branches in Beacon Cold Spring Hopewell Junction Fishkill Main Street and the Fishkill Brinker Hop office.

The outlets again are the five branches of the Fishkill National Bank in and around the Beacon area and Wayne Oldsmobile and Cadillac in Newburgh.
1240
01:44:40,620 --> 01:44:48,620
We have a new pitcher coming on Frank. You got him in your glasses. He's Ron Klinckowski.
1241
01:44:48,620 --> 01:45:00,620
The plumber will come on the pitch to Gutierrez and the pitcher will be due for Detroit and then the top of the order Steve Hamilton goes two and two thirds innings.
1242
01:45:00,620 --> 01:45:05,620
Hamilton gave up one run three hits.
1243
01:45:05,620 --> 01:45:16,620
Walked one and struck out about it.
1244
01:45:16,620 --> 01:45:25,620
Klinckowski has done just about everything for the Yankees. He has started he's worked in long relief and short relief.
1245
01:45:25,620 --> 01:45:30,620
Coming into his 31st ballgame with a record of three wins and four losses.
1246
01:45:30,620 --> 01:45:34,620
He started only two times.
1247
01:45:34,620 --> 01:45:39,620
And pitches to an earned run average of three point fourteen.
1248
01:45:39,620 --> 01:45:51,620
Sure that Phil and Bob talked about it before but in case you weren't listening we'd like to tell you that Mayor John Lindsay has proclaimed Saturday August 8th as Casey Stengel Day here in New York City.
1249
01:45:51,620 --> 01:46:01,620

Casey and his wife Mrs. Edna Stengel arrived in town from Glendale California tonight will be at City Hall tomorrow at eleven thirty accompanied by Lee McPhail executive vice president and general manager of the Yankees.
1251
01:46:14,620 --> 01:46:22,620
And Mr. George Weiss the Yankee general manager during Casey's managerial days here at the stadium.
1252
01:46:22,620 --> 01:46:28,620
Mr. Weiss was also a general manager and president of Mets while Casey was the Mets pilot.
1253
01:46:28,620 --> 01:46:33,620
Mayor Lindsay will present the bronze medallion of the city of New York to Casey tomorrow.
1254
01:46:33,620 --> 01:46:38,620
The medallion the highest award presented by the city of New York.
1255
01:46:38,620 --> 01:46:43,620
Right now from Kelsky ready to take on Cesar Gutierrez and here's Phil.
1256
01:46:43,620 --> 01:46:47,620
All right Frank the first pitch to Gutierrez he bluffs the bunt takes a strike.
1257
01:46:47,620 --> 01:46:51,620
He's required to write single incentive so far in this game.
1258
01:46:51,620 --> 01:46:55,620
And in the first game he beat out a beautiful bunt.
1259
01:46:55,620 --> 01:46:59,620
He was one for four in the first game.
1260
01:46:59,620 --> 01:47:03,620
The right hand batter from Kelsky's pitch bounce the third backhanded by Kenny.
1261
01:47:03,620 --> 01:47:06,620
Nice play by the person.
1262
01:47:06,620 --> 01:47:10,620
Oh that was a pretty play by Jerry Kenny.
1263
01:47:10,620 --> 01:47:16,620
And Kelsky really hit the deck as Jerry had a fire right over Kelsky's head.
1264
01:47:16,620 --> 01:47:24,620
So one out and now John Hiller wanted into a force play his only time in bat in this ballgame.
1265
01:47:24,620 --> 01:47:32,620
John Hickrow who started the game was a bad one time single and scored a run.
1266
01:47:32,620 --> 01:47:35,620
And neither starting pitchers around.
1267
01:47:35,620 --> 01:47:45,620
This is a curve in their strike one ball.
1268
01:47:45,620 --> 01:47:51,620
And Kelsky's curve again in their strike two.
1269
01:47:51,620 --> 01:47:59,620
On deck Dauvin Jones.
1270
01:47:59,620 --> 01:48:03,620
Another curve bounces there at Kenny has this on a big hobby he plays.
1271
01:48:03,620 --> 01:48:06,620
Fires the first.
1272
01:48:06,620 --> 01:48:11,620
And they're a two away.
1273
01:48:11,620 --> 01:48:14,620
I still have a hit up there for Norm Cash Frank.
1274
01:48:14,620 --> 01:48:23,620
Now waiting for word I know it Mr. Donnelly.
1275
01:48:23,620 --> 01:48:33,620
Don Jones homered leading off the ballgame walked and scored in the second and then line deep the right field in the third.
1276
01:48:33,620 --> 01:48:37,620
Dick McCall of Tigers regular second baseman getting a rest.
1277
01:48:37,620 --> 01:48:50,620
As is Al Kalin in his second game of the double header there's a strike as ball just above the knee.
1278
01:48:50,620 --> 01:48:58,620
You are nobody on five three Tigers lead breaking pitch long and admit that that pitch was in and down.
1279
01:48:58,620 --> 01:49:10,620
Nothing in two.
1280
01:49:10,620 --> 01:49:29,620
And then the strikeout gives Gibbs an assistant caterer put out three up three down and now at the end of four and a half.
1281
01:49:29,620 --> 01:49:37,620
Well the answers and the Tigers wind up this series tomorrow night with a single game here at the stadium at eight o'clock and it looks like a fair of left handers will be the
1282
01:49:37,620 --> 01:49:54,620
Provos less game very possibly will go over to try to the shoulders OK and for the New York Yankees Mike McCormick is the probable starter game starts at eight o'clock here at the stadium.
1283
01:49:54,620 --> 01:50:08,620
Right hard clock the top of the order. Ellis pitches inside ball one clock hits in the box and walk.
1284
01:50:08,620 --> 01:50:18,620
The pitches hit in a shallow right field could be trouble and it's up to a basic and gets away from the second baseman the clock goes into second.
1285
01:50:18,620 --> 01:50:25,620
Good heads up base running by hard clock as he's done one in shallow right field.
1286
01:50:25,620 --> 01:50:33,620
Don't go on one half and the ball pops out of his glove and was sliding in the second base.
1287
01:50:33,620 --> 01:50:38,620
And we're going to give Clark a double.
1288
01:50:38,620 --> 01:50:51,620
I'm going to do it Mr. Donnelly gives him and the better Jake gives you a single and double and quarter on in this game.
1289
01:50:51,620 --> 01:50:52,620
All right.
1290
01:50:52,620 --> 01:51:08,620
That's a second base a double it's a double.
1291
01:51:08,620 --> 01:51:23,620
And the other who came out in the second inning struck out Mercer got the side in order in the third and fourth.
1292
01:51:23,620 --> 01:51:29,620
I once tried going Jake get Yankee trail 5 3 but nobody out here in the bottom of the fifth.
1293
01:51:29,620 --> 01:51:49,620
And he's got to go away. He'll take his pitches. I almost got away from right one on one and on deck Bobby Mercer.
1294
01:51:49,620 --> 01:52:00,620
That's again high and outside again ball to do one or he'll want to new baseball.
1295
01:52:00,620 --> 01:52:05,620
That's it from play them by John Rice.
1296
01:52:05,620 --> 01:52:21,620
I see him by a price to catch the 2 1 delivery outside ball 3 3 and 1 Yankee fans coming alive here.
1297
01:52:21,620 --> 01:52:24,620
Haven't had too much to cheer about in the first game.
1298
01:52:24,620 --> 01:52:26,620
They scored just one run in this game.
1299
01:52:26,620 --> 01:52:31,620
They scored their three runs in one inning.
1300
01:52:31,620 --> 01:52:52,620
Now the 3 1 pitch right ball Jake has started down to first base and taking two steps.
1301
01:52:52,620 --> 01:53:03,620
Right the stretch now by Hello block leads off second the pitch bringing in a missed right three room slider and got him.
1302
01:53:03,620 --> 01:53:12,620
He'll his second strikeouts is coming in the ballgame and a big one and it brings up Bobby Mercer Bobby has walked and struck out.
1303
01:53:12,620 --> 01:53:23,620
Mercer and give Iran when Roy White unloaded his long home run in the first inning and Roy is on deck.
1304
01:53:23,620 --> 01:53:34,620
It's the Bobby Mercer is a curve high and tight ball one.
1305
01:53:34,620 --> 01:53:42,620
Now they want to take a look at that baseball and writes is going to throw it out of play.
1306
01:53:42,620 --> 01:53:43,620
I'll be Mercer saw something on it.
1307
01:53:43,620 --> 01:53:51,620
He didn't like.
1308
01:53:51,620 --> 01:53:55,620
I'm ready for the 1 0 pitch Bobby swings it down the left field line.
1309
01:53:55,620 --> 01:54:04,620
I'm going to be on the warning track and it went into the stand.
1310
01:54:04,620 --> 01:54:07,620
Well, I don't know how you like that.
1311
01:54:07,620 --> 01:54:09,620
They got to it.
1312
01:54:09,620 --> 01:54:14,620
The ball hit right in his glove and it went right into the stand.
1313
01:54:14,620 --> 01:54:19,620
And Bobby Mercer gets himself a good call.
1314
01:54:19,620 --> 01:54:25,620
That's exactly it.
1315
01:54:25,620 --> 01:54:28,620
And watching the play with the binoculars.
1316
01:54:28,620 --> 01:54:30,620
Well, that's exactly what happened.
1317
01:54:30,620 --> 01:54:34,620
Brown talked the ball out of any of love going toward the seat.
1318
01:54:34,620 --> 01:54:41,620
The ball popped out of his glove and fell into the state, which makes it a home run and did not touch the ground.
1319
01:54:41,620 --> 01:54:52,620
All right, Frank and his life or hit a home run with two on in the first inning, pop the second takes a quick drive ball one.
1320
01:54:52,620 --> 01:54:59,620
Now, Bobby Mercer, only one home run the whole month of July, July 1st now has it back to back on runs and tonight.
1321
01:54:59,620 --> 01:55:05,620
Right. He has that and both left hand pitchers.
1322
01:55:05,620 --> 01:55:12,620
All right, right now with the two balls, those like we got a brand new ballgame here outside by five.
1323
01:55:12,620 --> 01:55:18,620
Hella takes the liver, hits low ball three, three and nothing.
1324
01:55:18,620 --> 01:55:25,620
We told you earlier when I found one out to left field, he is an infielder, occasionally plays the outfield.
1325
01:55:25,620 --> 01:55:28,620
It's pretty tough when an infielder goes out there.
1326
01:55:28,620 --> 01:55:34,620
That's a lot of room out there and you kind of lost as a strike to Roy three and one.
1327
01:55:34,620 --> 01:55:42,620
I found got to the ball after losing his cap, but it hit right in his glove and bounce right into the stand.
1328
01:55:42,620 --> 01:55:53,620
The three one delivery swing and a miss and Roy was gone for that home run out in front of the curve ball three and two.
1329
01:55:53,620 --> 01:55:59,620
So Bobby Mercer's 17th home run of the year and now has 54 runs batted in.
1330
01:55:59,620 --> 01:56:06,620
This ball is low ball for Earthwalk given up by Hella.
1331
01:56:06,620 --> 01:56:11,620
White on first and about an hour Danny Tater.
1332
01:56:11,620 --> 01:56:15,620
Pete Ward started the game at first base. Pete was at bat once in walk.
1333
01:56:15,620 --> 01:56:21,620
Tater came on and batted for Ward in the third and bounced out in the third.
1334
01:56:21,620 --> 01:56:27,620
Now there's one out, old giant five five.
1335
01:56:27,620 --> 01:56:31,620
Yankees scored all their runs a return of homers.
1336
01:56:31,620 --> 01:56:35,620
Three run homer by Roy White, a two run homer by Bobby Mercer.
1337
01:56:35,620 --> 01:56:43,620
Tater really digging himself a hole at the plate.
1338
01:56:43,620 --> 01:56:50,620
Go to first base, White is back.
1339
01:56:50,620 --> 01:56:56,620
I think that's the first time I can recall seeing a fly ball hit in a fielders glove and then a bouncer out of the park for a home run.
1340
01:56:56,620 --> 01:56:58,620
I know it's happened before.
1341
01:56:58,620 --> 01:57:00,620
Line drive, what a play by Ward.
1342
01:57:00,620 --> 01:57:03,620
You know Frank it's the first time I ever remember it.
1343
01:57:03,620 --> 01:57:06,620
Playing or watching, really doing a game. Yes.
1344
01:57:06,620 --> 01:57:08,620
Very unusual.
1345
01:57:08,620 --> 01:57:12,620
But that was quite a play by Don Ward.
1346
01:57:12,620 --> 01:57:19,620
I don't know what Ike Brown thought it was three out or what he was backing up but he's a little upset with that play and he started running off the field.
1347
01:57:19,620 --> 01:57:22,620
Now realizes it's only two out and goes back to left field.
1348
01:57:22,620 --> 01:57:36,620
He's a little embarrassed but that was quite a play by Ward as he robbed Danny Kader of an extra base hit.
1349
01:57:36,620 --> 01:57:46,620
First pistol, Bluffery, strike one call. Bluffery fly to center and fly to right.
1350
01:57:46,620 --> 01:58:01,620
Service high outside, one and one. Two out, two runs in, all side, five five, bottom of the fifth.
1351
01:58:01,620 --> 01:58:03,620
White leads away at first.
1352
01:58:03,620 --> 01:58:12,620
Has a curve low, ball two, two and one.
1353
01:58:12,620 --> 01:58:24,620
Hella drops the ball out on the mound, walks down, picks it up.
1354
01:58:24,620 --> 01:58:38,620
Now the stretch. Curve swung out and missed even to count it two and two.
1355
01:58:38,620 --> 01:58:42,620
And now the two two pitch. Fly ball to center field.
1356
01:58:42,620 --> 01:58:46,620
Starting back at Stanley now come running in and makes the catch.
1357
01:58:46,620 --> 01:58:51,620
But the Yankees tie it up. Two runs, two hits, no error as the man left.
1358
01:58:51,620 --> 01:59:09,620
And at the end of five it's Detroit five and the Yankees five.
1359
01:59:09,620 --> 01:59:15,620
Well the grounds crew has done its work on the infield and we settle back for the second half of this ballgame.
1360
01:59:15,620 --> 01:59:18,620
The Yankees have come from behind twice now.
1361
01:59:18,620 --> 01:59:22,620
They've tied it down two nothing in the first one, they had three to two in the bottom half of the first.
1362
01:59:22,620 --> 01:59:25,620
Then down five to three and they've tied it up.
1363
01:59:25,620 --> 01:59:33,620
On the home run by Bobby Merson and Mickey Stanley is set to lead off the top half of the sixth.
1364
01:59:33,620 --> 01:59:38,620
Wide run, Kremkowski.
1365
01:59:38,620 --> 01:59:43,620
There's now the pitcher of record along with John Heller.
1366
01:59:43,620 --> 01:59:52,620
The Yankees stand bouncing, Steve Hamilton and now Kremkowski.
1367
01:59:52,620 --> 01:59:57,620
Mickey Stanley has walked single twice and has driven in two runs.
1368
01:59:57,620 --> 02:00:02,620
And Jim Northrup is on deck swinging a bat and looks like he'll bat for Brown.
1369
02:00:02,620 --> 02:00:09,620
Is the bouncing ball clock to his right, has it? Why is an in time to first base?
1370
02:00:09,620 --> 02:00:13,620
The Yankees are really bouncing around now in this second ballgame.
1371
02:00:13,620 --> 02:00:22,620
And Northrup will come on a bat for Ike Brown.
1372
02:00:22,620 --> 02:00:28,620
Northrup who has had kind of a gimpy leg is in there.
1373
02:00:28,620 --> 02:00:34,620
In the first game Northrup got a single, a walk and a sacrifice fly.
1374
02:00:34,620 --> 02:00:41,620
He knocked in the winning run with that sacrifice fly by the way in the fifth inning.
1375
02:00:41,620 --> 02:00:45,620
So he was one for two in that first game and he hits one in deep left center.
1376
02:00:45,620 --> 02:00:47,620
Way back, way back.
1377
02:00:47,620 --> 02:00:53,620
And Roy White catches it, falls down, does a somersault and holds onto it.
1378
02:00:53,620 --> 02:00:55,620
Holy cow.
1379
02:00:55,620 --> 02:01:01,620
That ball was hit about 420 feet, the deep left center.
1380
02:01:01,620 --> 02:01:08,620
And Roy White after catching the ball, lost his cap, fell down, turned completely over.
1381
02:01:08,620 --> 02:01:12,620
And there goes Northrup's helmet lying out of the dugout and I don't blame him.
1382
02:01:12,620 --> 02:01:16,620
He was robbed of a triple at least.
1383
02:01:16,620 --> 02:01:23,620
What a play by Roy White.
1384
02:01:23,620 --> 02:01:29,620
It brings up Norm Cashew's walk twice and I still say has an infield hit.
1385
02:01:29,620 --> 02:01:34,620
But Joe Donnelly says an error was given to Cader on a great stop by Clark.
1386
02:01:34,620 --> 02:01:42,620
A left balance throw that was in the dirt.
1387
02:01:42,620 --> 02:01:46,620
One strike, two out, nobody on 5-5 the score.
1388
02:01:46,620 --> 02:01:53,620
Foul upstairs out of play.
1389
02:01:53,620 --> 02:02:07,620
0-2.
1390
02:02:07,620 --> 02:02:13,620
Klenkowski checks the sign with Gibbs.
1391
02:02:13,620 --> 02:02:15,620
Bouncing ball to first base, Cader has it.
1392
02:02:15,620 --> 02:02:17,620
He'll make the play unassisted.
1393
02:02:17,620 --> 02:02:22,620
And Klenkowski for the second inning in a row retires the Tigers in order.
1394
02:02:22,620 --> 02:02:31,620
At the end of 5-1 half it's still the Tigers 5, the Yankees 5.
1395
02:02:31,620 --> 02:02:35,620
All right, we get ready to go.
1396
02:02:35,620 --> 02:02:43,620
So Northrup remains in the ball game and will play Lovefield.
1397
02:02:43,620 --> 02:02:46,620
They batted for Brown, he stays in at Lovefield.
1398
02:02:46,620 --> 02:02:49,620
Kenny swings and misses.
1399
02:02:49,620 --> 02:02:51,620
High fastball by Hiller.
1400
02:02:51,620 --> 02:02:54,620
Kenny is struck out and pops at third base.
1401
02:02:54,620 --> 02:03:02,620
All tied at 5-5.
1402
02:03:02,620 --> 02:03:11,620
Mr. Kenny is a little bit low, 1-1.
1403
02:03:11,620 --> 02:03:16,620
Frank Messer will have all the scores for you at the end of this half inning.
1404
02:03:16,620 --> 02:03:19,620
1-1 delivery, he bunched, oh but it goes foul.
1405
02:03:19,620 --> 02:03:23,620
And man, Kenny would have beaten that one out easily had it stayed fair.
1406
02:03:23,620 --> 02:03:29,620
You talk about a run and jump, he had it that time.
1407
02:03:29,620 --> 02:03:31,620
So it's one ball, two strikes.
1408
02:03:31,620 --> 02:03:42,620
Yankees lost the first game 2-1 and this game is all tied up 5-5.
1409
02:03:42,620 --> 02:03:51,620
Long road trip by the Yankees, just concluded.
1410
02:03:51,620 --> 02:03:56,620
Tigers are on the start of a real rough road trip.
1411
02:03:56,620 --> 02:04:10,620
But once you pitch, he checked his swing and his eye, 2-2.
1412
02:04:10,620 --> 02:04:14,620
Line drive to Lovefield, fair ball, fair ball.
1413
02:04:14,620 --> 02:04:18,620
Kenny's going to be in at second base with a standup double.
1414
02:04:18,620 --> 02:04:27,620
And that looked like a high inside fastball and Kenny drilled it over third in the left field, right down the corner.
1415
02:04:27,620 --> 02:04:32,620
The Yankees face lead number 6 and it brings up Gene Michael.
1416
02:04:32,620 --> 02:04:54,620
Gene, line to first and line to center.
1417
02:04:54,620 --> 02:04:57,620
Gene swings and misses strike line.
1418
02:04:57,620 --> 02:05:02,620
Yankees have had six great hits, five of them extra base hits.
1419
02:05:02,620 --> 02:05:07,620
And Lindy McDaniel gets up in the Yankee bullpen.
1420
02:05:07,620 --> 02:05:12,620
All tied at 5-5 and Fairman Monson is coming out on deck.
1421
02:05:12,620 --> 02:05:14,620
So let's see now if the Yankees go for the sacrifice.
1422
02:05:14,620 --> 02:05:16,620
Here's the stretch.
1423
02:05:16,620 --> 02:05:21,620
Michael starts the punt, takes it low, 1-1.
1424
02:05:21,620 --> 02:05:27,620
Fairman Monson is in the on deck circle.
1425
02:05:27,620 --> 02:05:35,620
Now this could be a decoy or he could be sending Monson up to bat for Klemkowski.
1426
02:05:35,620 --> 02:05:38,620
Jerry Kenny leads off second.
1427
02:05:38,620 --> 02:05:46,620
The pitch, Michael bunts it down, third at the dandy and Hillel looks the throw, not in time, he's made the base hit.
1428
02:05:46,620 --> 02:05:48,620
Beautiful punt by Gene Michael.
1429
02:05:48,620 --> 02:05:56,620
He's got the wall off balance, Hillel caught the ball, took a look at third base and that's what ruins his chances of getting Michael.
1430
02:05:56,620 --> 02:06:03,620
That'll be a single for Gene Michael, running that first and carrying nobody out.
1431
02:06:03,620 --> 02:06:08,620
And now Fairman Monson will come on the back for Klemkowski.
1432
02:06:08,620 --> 02:06:12,620
By first real pause for station identification.
1433
02:06:12,620 --> 02:06:14,620
This is your guy, High Agents.
1434
02:06:14,620 --> 02:06:34,620
Your Kind of Music, weekdays 3 to 7, here on the fresh air sound of Radio 81, WGY Schenectady.
1435
02:06:34,620 --> 02:06:38,620
Now it looks like we're going to have a new pitcher, Frank, a right hander.
1436
02:06:38,620 --> 02:06:43,620
That's it, Hillel is out of the ball game now.
1437
02:06:43,620 --> 02:06:50,620
Three and one third innings, has given up two runs, four hits.
1438
02:06:50,620 --> 02:06:54,620
Walked only one and struck out two men.
1439
02:06:54,620 --> 02:07:00,620
And the double by Jerry Kenny to left field, looks like Kenny picked that ball right off his left ear, didn't it Phil?
1440
02:07:00,620 --> 02:07:01,620
Sure did, Frank.
1441
02:07:01,620 --> 02:07:06,620
And the bunt single perfectly placed by Gene Michael.
1442
02:07:06,620 --> 02:07:10,620
And John Hiller goes out of the ball game.
1443
02:07:10,620 --> 02:07:15,620
Fairman Monson, that's a tough spot for Monson right now.
1444
02:07:15,620 --> 02:07:17,620
He's got a 12 game history going.
1445
02:07:17,620 --> 02:07:20,620
And technically if he doesn't get a base hit as a pinch hitter here it would end.
1446
02:07:20,620 --> 02:07:23,620
That's right, it certainly would.
1447
02:07:23,620 --> 02:07:30,620
And that is a tough break, but this young man has done pretty well as a pinch hitter I believe this year.
1448
02:07:30,620 --> 02:07:32,620
I think he's done very well.
1449
02:07:32,620 --> 02:07:35,620
In fact he may be batting a thousand as a pinch hitter.
1450
02:07:35,620 --> 02:07:37,620
Three for four, that's right.
1451
02:07:37,620 --> 02:07:42,620
He's not bad in any league.
1452
02:07:42,620 --> 02:07:47,620
Jimmy Hunter tells us it's number 43 coming in.
1453
02:07:47,620 --> 02:08:03,620
And number 43, what always happens to all of the numberless, it's Darryl Patterson.
1454
02:08:03,620 --> 02:08:12,620
Alright, Darryl Patterson, if I remember rightly he's a hard-throwing right-hander.
1455
02:08:12,620 --> 02:08:16,620
Darryl Patterson has a record of two and one.
1456
02:08:16,620 --> 02:08:18,620
He's been in 24 games.
1457
02:08:18,620 --> 02:08:24,620
He's also credited with two saves.
1458
02:08:24,620 --> 02:08:30,620
He's having a long huddle out there with Price as Mayo Smith leaves.
1459
02:08:30,620 --> 02:08:34,620
Maybe the first time Price has taught him in a long time, Price doesn't get in too many games.
1460
02:08:34,620 --> 02:08:39,620
Oh, that's true, he doesn't with that brand out there.
1461
02:08:39,620 --> 02:08:43,620
Let's see what Patterson has done against the Yankees this year.
1462
02:08:43,620 --> 02:08:50,620
He's been in only one ball game I believe, July the 1st in Detroit.
1463
02:08:50,620 --> 02:08:52,620
That was an 11-inning ball game.
1464
02:08:52,620 --> 02:08:58,620
Detroit won it 6-5 and Patterson pitched one in the third innings, did not give up a run or a hit.
1465
02:08:58,620 --> 02:09:04,620
He pitched one and didn't strike out anybody.
1466
02:09:04,620 --> 02:09:06,620
Well, the names are still going up on the message board.
1467
02:09:06,620 --> 02:09:11,620
Those accepting invitations for all time and stay, just glancing up there right now,
1468
02:09:11,620 --> 02:09:16,620
Yogi Berra, Dominic DiMaggio, and Bob Shirley.
1469
02:09:16,620 --> 02:09:20,620
I'll tell you, Phil, there's trio right there worth going out to see if there wasn't anybody else.
1470
02:09:20,620 --> 02:09:22,620
Absolutely.
1471
02:09:22,620 --> 02:09:27,620
The little professor, Dominic DiMaggio, and the old professor, Casey Singles.
1472
02:09:27,620 --> 02:09:31,620
That's what they used to call Dominic because he looked like a teacher with the big glasses he wore,
1473
02:09:31,620 --> 02:09:34,620
very scholarly, hardly ever smiled, you know.
1474
02:09:34,620 --> 02:09:35,620
Oh really? Oh yeah.
1475
02:09:35,620 --> 02:09:41,620
He and DiMaggio would say hello at the beginning of the year and goodbye at the end of the year.
1476
02:09:41,620 --> 02:09:47,620
Brothers, you know, and they were brothers, but a very closed-mouthed family at that time.
1477
02:09:47,620 --> 02:09:52,620
But now both of them, since being out of baseball, have become extroverts now.
1478
02:09:52,620 --> 02:09:53,620
Really?
1479
02:09:53,620 --> 02:09:54,620
It's hard to shut either one up.
1480
02:09:54,620 --> 02:09:55,620
How about Vince?
1481
02:09:55,620 --> 02:09:57,620
Was he like the other two?
1482
02:09:57,620 --> 02:10:04,620
He was exactly like the other two, except that he had studied opera, and he would sing at the drop of a hat.
1483
02:10:04,620 --> 02:10:06,620
Would it have to be an opera hat?
1484
02:10:06,620 --> 02:10:09,620
No. I roomed with him for a while in Kansas City.
1485
02:10:09,620 --> 02:10:10,620
Oh really?
1486
02:10:10,620 --> 02:10:16,620
I was very fortunate, but you know, you like to room with big leaguers in talking when I was in the minor league,
1487
02:10:16,620 --> 02:10:22,620
but as much as I loved the opera, he got to me.
1488
02:10:22,620 --> 02:10:23,620
Now was he a good singer?
1489
02:10:23,620 --> 02:10:24,620
Oh yes.
1490
02:10:24,620 --> 02:10:25,620
He was.
1491
02:10:25,620 --> 02:10:26,620
Very good.
1492
02:10:26,620 --> 02:10:29,620
But you know, when you're in those small minor league hotels, and there's only one play,
1493
02:10:29,620 --> 02:10:32,620
go in the bathroom and sing, you always sound better off.
1494
02:10:32,620 --> 02:10:33,620
Would he sing in Italian?
1495
02:10:33,620 --> 02:10:35,620
Oh yes.
1496
02:10:35,620 --> 02:10:39,620
All right. Well, let's take care of the DiMaggio's. Let's get back here now with Thurman Munson.
1497
02:10:39,620 --> 02:10:43,620
Okay. Thurman Munson.
1498
02:10:43,620 --> 02:10:48,620
So Munson kept his hitting streak going in the first game.
1499
02:10:48,620 --> 02:10:53,620
He was one for three with a walk and a run batted in. That's a throw to first.
1500
02:10:53,620 --> 02:10:56,620
But Michael is back.
1501
02:10:56,620 --> 02:11:00,620
Kenny Bluffing coming down the line at third so Cash holds the ball.
1502
02:11:00,620 --> 02:11:05,620
The Yankees have good speed now on the bases and at home plate.
1503
02:11:05,620 --> 02:11:09,620
Nobody out of five-five ball game in the bottom of the sixth.
1504
02:11:09,620 --> 02:11:11,620
The stretch by Patterson.
1505
02:11:11,620 --> 02:11:19,620
The pitch to Munson. Outside ball line.
1506
02:11:19,620 --> 02:11:35,620
Harris Clark is on deck.
1507
02:11:35,620 --> 02:11:39,620
Patterson gets the sign.
1508
02:11:39,620 --> 02:11:41,620
And he leads wide of third in foul territory.
1509
02:11:41,620 --> 02:11:44,620
The pitch is a little bit high.
1510
02:11:44,620 --> 02:11:58,620
To an all, Patterson almost stumbled off the mound and Price wanted to know why that wasn't a strike.
1511
02:11:58,620 --> 02:12:04,620
Two balls, no strike.
1512
02:12:04,620 --> 02:12:13,620
What happens sometimes on those close calls, the catcher will jump up too quickly and he'll actually block the umpire's view of the pitch.
1513
02:12:13,620 --> 02:12:16,620
By Patterson sets again.
1514
02:12:16,620 --> 02:12:18,620
His pitch swing and a miss.
1515
02:12:18,620 --> 02:12:23,620
Two balls and a strike. That pitch was out of the strike zone but Thurman was guessing and going for it.
1516
02:12:23,620 --> 02:12:27,620
You can't blame him. Ahead two and nothing.
1517
02:12:27,620 --> 02:12:35,620
If he likes it, at least get a long fly ball.
1518
02:12:35,620 --> 02:12:39,620
Nobody out.
1519
02:12:39,620 --> 02:12:42,620
Five-five to score.
1520
02:12:42,620 --> 02:12:47,620
Gene Michael with a good lead at first. Kenny leading off third.
1521
02:12:47,620 --> 02:12:54,620
The 2-1 pitch. A bouncer up the middle but right there the second baseman steps on the back, throws the first double play.
1522
02:12:54,620 --> 02:12:58,620
The run scores. The Yankees go out in front six to five.
1523
02:12:58,620 --> 02:13:03,620
But Munson bounces into a double play.
1524
02:13:03,620 --> 02:13:14,620
Four, four, three.
1525
02:13:14,620 --> 02:13:20,620
Jolton Jones backhanded that high hopping ground ball, stepped on second and threw the first.
1526
02:13:20,620 --> 02:13:25,620
No RBI for Munson but the Yankees go out in front six to five.
1527
02:13:25,620 --> 02:13:41,620
And now Harris Clark hits to the box, walks and double the right field and scored ahead of Mercer's home in the fifth.
1528
02:13:41,620 --> 02:13:51,620
So Patterson delivers the clock at tie ball one.
1529
02:13:51,620 --> 02:13:58,620
Jolton Jones was shading Munson over that way and it looked like it might be a base hitter, a bouncer right over the pitcher's head.
1530
02:13:58,620 --> 02:14:01,620
Almost over the bag.
1531
02:14:01,620 --> 02:14:07,620
Line, oh that off Patterson's glove. Jones is there, fires the first. They got him.
1532
02:14:07,620 --> 02:14:15,620
And I want to tell you that play had everything. It almost took Patterson's head off. He slowed it down with his glove.
1533
02:14:15,620 --> 02:14:22,620
Jones picked it up through to Cash who's foot came off that bag way too soon and called out at first base.
1534
02:14:22,620 --> 02:14:26,620
But it was excitement all the way. One, four, three.
1535
02:14:26,620 --> 02:14:31,620
The Yankees pick up a run. Two hits, no errors and nobody left.
1536
02:14:31,620 --> 02:14:38,620
The end of six is the Yankees sixth. Detroit five, Frank Messer will have all the scores for him and carry it right down to the wire.
1537
02:14:38,620 --> 02:14:42,620
Now Lindy McDaniel is on the pitch for the Yankees and we go to the seventh inning.
1538
02:14:42,620 --> 02:14:48,620
Russ Nagelson leads things off for the Detroit Tigers. Nagelson left hand batter is over two and he has a sacrifice.
1539
02:14:48,620 --> 02:14:52,620
He takes low ball one.
1540
02:14:52,620 --> 02:14:58,620
Ron Klunkowski pitched two perfect innings, retired six men in a row, struck out one of them.
1541
02:14:58,620 --> 02:15:01,620
Got a great catch behind him by Roy White.
1542
02:15:01,620 --> 02:15:13,620
There's a fastball for a strike and John Rice a little undecided what to call it and good gracious is the Detroit bench getting on him or not?
1543
02:15:13,620 --> 02:15:19,620
John Rice now puts up a finger on each hand signifying one and one.
1544
02:15:19,620 --> 02:15:23,620
Mayo Smith is really getting on Rice from the Detroit dugout.
1545
02:15:23,620 --> 02:15:26,620
There's a pitch loan outside to make it two and one.
1546
02:15:26,620 --> 02:15:31,620
The Tigers have not agreed with Mr. Rice on several occasions tonight.
1547
02:15:31,620 --> 02:15:41,620
And now John Rice looks over and it appears that he is warning the bench that he doesn't want to hear anymore.
1548
02:15:41,620 --> 02:15:56,620
He also has a strike to Nagelson. McDaniel kicks and deals down low at it's ball three, three and one.
1549
02:15:56,620 --> 02:15:59,620
Word on deck and then Rice.
1550
02:15:59,620 --> 02:16:08,620
Three one pitch right down the middle for a call strike two and the count goes full three and two to Nagelson.
1551
02:16:08,620 --> 02:16:13,620
Lindy McDaniel is not allowed to run in his last nine appearances covering 17 innings.
1552
02:16:13,620 --> 02:16:22,620
He has an ERA of 167 and he walks Nagelson with a ball four low.
1553
02:16:22,620 --> 02:16:28,620
Lindy McDaniel has picked up seven saves in his last nine outings.
1554
02:16:28,620 --> 02:16:33,620
Now Don Wert with the Yankees leading six to five.
1555
02:16:33,620 --> 02:16:45,620
He's single and a long fly ball to left field and fouled out to the catcher Jake Gibbs.
1556
02:16:45,620 --> 02:16:48,620
McDaniel off the stretch.
1557
02:16:48,620 --> 02:16:50,620
Cater holding on the runner on the pitch.
1558
02:16:50,620 --> 02:17:00,620
Wirt takes it low. It's dug out of the dirt by Gibbs.
1559
02:17:00,620 --> 02:17:09,620
Lindy McDaniel in 40 appearances has now walked only 13 men.
1560
02:17:09,620 --> 02:17:25,620
He delivers the one-oh pitch and it's low or no. It gets the outside corner at the knees for a call strike one and one.
1561
02:17:25,620 --> 02:17:28,620
Jim Price is on deck.
1562
02:17:28,620 --> 02:17:33,620
Cater holding against the base runner Nagelson. In field set for the double play possibility.
1563
02:17:33,620 --> 02:17:43,620
McDaniel turns it loose. Curve ball is hit in the air to left field. Roy White digging to his left now goes back, back and makes the catch.
1564
02:17:43,620 --> 02:17:48,620
White went to his left first then had the backpedal and bowls it in in deep left field.
1565
02:17:48,620 --> 02:17:55,620
And I'll tell you Roy White has had a lot of ground to cover out there tonight.
1566
02:17:55,620 --> 02:18:00,620
He caught Don Wirt's drive next to the seats in the second inning.
1567
02:18:00,620 --> 02:18:08,620
He caught Jim Moplip's drive in deep, deep left center about 420 feet or so back.
1568
02:18:08,620 --> 02:18:17,620
And now he goes deep to take care of Wirt again. Jim Price steps in. Drag one goal.
1569
02:18:17,620 --> 02:18:29,620
Now Price is going to argue with Rice.
1570
02:18:29,620 --> 02:18:43,620
No balls and a strike to Jim Price. The catcher has gone one for three tonight.
1571
02:18:43,620 --> 02:18:50,620
Price still has not stepped in. Now he moves into the batter's box. Nagelson short lead at first base.
1572
02:18:50,620 --> 02:18:55,620
Only one step right now. That's all he takes. There's the set. Here's the pitch. There he goes.
1573
02:18:55,620 --> 02:19:06,620
Pitch is hung on. Lofted down the right field line. Digging back for Cater and foul territory and Cater's got it.
1574
02:19:06,620 --> 02:19:19,620
Go away. It will bring up Cesar Gutierrez.
1575
02:19:19,620 --> 02:19:27,620
Yankees leading 6-5 here in the top half of the seventh inning. Cesar Gutierrez is one for three.
1576
02:19:27,620 --> 02:19:41,620
Lied to right, singled to center, and ground it out to third.
1577
02:19:41,620 --> 02:19:48,620
McDaniel looks down the lane to give. There's the set. And the pitch.
1578
02:19:48,620 --> 02:20:04,620
And a foul off the end of the bat, end of the mezzanine on the first base side.
1579
02:20:04,620 --> 02:20:13,620
Yankees six runs, seven hits. Detroit five runs, seven hits. Detroit one, the opener, two to one.
1580
02:20:13,620 --> 02:20:19,620
McDaniel to the belt. Goal one delivery. Line foul again and again back in the mezzanine.
1581
02:20:19,620 --> 02:20:25,620
Just about the same spot, maybe a little deeper.
1582
02:20:25,620 --> 02:20:44,620
Double off and two strikes to Cesar Gutierrez.
1583
02:20:44,620 --> 02:20:48,620
Oh and two-pitch. Get off the end of the bat on the ground and second.
1584
02:20:48,620 --> 02:20:57,620
Marsh clock digs it up, throws to first just in time. He's out. A close play at first base.
1585
02:20:57,620 --> 02:21:01,620
No runs, a base hit. There were no errors. A walk and a man left.
1586
02:21:01,620 --> 02:21:20,620
At the end of the top of the seventh, the Yankees six and the Tigers five.
1587
02:21:20,620 --> 02:21:29,620
We go to the bottom half of the seventh inning. The fans are stretching their legs here in the seventh inning stretch of the second game of the doubleheaders.
1588
02:21:29,620 --> 02:21:32,620
Jake Gibbs will be the leadoff hitter for the Yankees.
1589
02:21:32,620 --> 02:21:36,620
Bob Gammir back over from television.
1590
02:21:36,620 --> 02:21:39,620
He'll sit in with us for the rest of this ballgame.
1591
02:21:39,620 --> 02:21:45,620
In some second game, I don't know, these people like pitches to. It's pretty hard to say that first game could be better than the second one Frank.
1592
02:21:45,620 --> 02:21:49,620
Oh no, there's been a lot of action in this one. A lot of scoring.
1593
02:21:49,620 --> 02:22:07,620
Wild play as here's the pitch to Gibbs. High and tight and he sits down.
1594
02:22:07,620 --> 02:22:26,620
One ball and no strikes to Jake. The wind up by Patterson the pitch. Swing and a miss. Strike wide. Count evens one and one.
1595
02:22:26,620 --> 02:22:38,620
One one pitch coming. Gibbs checks his swing and takes out. It's now called strike two by John Rice. Ball and two strikes to Jake.
1596
02:22:38,620 --> 02:22:49,620
Grant and I had a twenty two thousand four hundred and thirty four here at Yankee Stadium.
1597
02:22:49,620 --> 02:23:02,620
One two pitch. Get in the air out of the right field. Fairly deep but not deep enough to be out. Waiting for it is Nagelson and he makes the catch.
1598
02:23:02,620 --> 02:23:18,620
Bill Gibbs is retired. One down and Bobby Mercer steps in. Bobby Hummert in the fifth inning to tie the ballgame up.
1599
02:23:18,620 --> 02:23:26,620
Mercer had a fly ball deep to left field and a bounce off the glove of Ike Brown and into the seat.
1600
02:23:26,620 --> 02:23:39,620
He takes a strike. It was Mercer's 17th home run of the year and the first time I can ever recall seeing a ball bounce out of the fielder's glove and out of the ballpark for a home run.
1601
02:23:39,620 --> 02:23:49,620
Bill Rosito has been around this game for what twenty seven years in the major leagues as a player and a broadcaster and a few years before that in the minors and he said he could never recall seeing it happen.
1602
02:23:49,620 --> 02:23:58,620
Pitch to Mercer. Inside fastball spins him back. One and one.
1603
02:23:58,620 --> 02:24:12,620
It looks like I used to always say as a kid here this is one park where continuously you could see a four base error. Now they didn't score it that way but actually it could have been. It would have had a very bad mad Bobby Mercer on their hands.
1604
02:24:12,620 --> 02:24:26,620
There's ball two outside to Mercer. I did see a four base error in the minor leagues. Really? In the international league? No it was really a line drive.
1605
02:24:26,620 --> 02:24:44,620
The outfielder didn't get it. Went off his glove, hit the wall, bounced around. The man who hit it went all the way around and scored. Pitch is inside spins Mercer back ball three and three and one.
1606
02:24:44,620 --> 02:24:56,620
First of all they had quite a conference on scoring it. First of all they called it a triple and an error. Then they made it a double and a two base error. Finally they made it a single and a three base error.
1607
02:24:56,620 --> 02:25:05,620
Mercer hits one out into left field again. Meltzer Phil floats back with this one still going back and makes the catch over his head.
1608
02:25:05,620 --> 02:25:19,620
And finally after much consultation they scored it an error all the way and that was the only four base error I've ever seen. Mercer retired two down.
1609
02:25:19,620 --> 02:25:30,620
Now Roy White. White put the Yankees in the lead with a three run homer in the first inning. Popped up in the third and walked in the fifth.
1610
02:25:30,620 --> 02:25:43,620
The second game is Seesaw back and forth. White check swing grounded back to the mound. Spotted by Patterson he picks up throws the first out by a half a step and the side is retired.
1611
02:25:43,620 --> 02:25:54,620
The Yankees go three up three down nothing across and at the end of seven the score is New York six and Detroit five.
1612
02:25:54,620 --> 02:26:05,620
This will go with a pinch hitter for Patterson. It's going to be Dick McAuliffe. McAuliffe played second base in the first game and went 0 for 4 with a walk.
1613
02:26:05,620 --> 02:26:29,620
He's got the left hand on it.
1614
02:26:29,620 --> 02:26:40,620
The Yankees as we mentioned earlier a little bit shorthanded without Willie Horton and Ken Sokowitz. Horton with an ankle injury. Sokowitz with a leg injury.
1615
02:26:40,620 --> 02:26:52,620
Now McAuliffe steps in the pitch to him from McDaniel is low ball one. One ball and no strikes.
1616
02:26:52,620 --> 02:27:03,620
Let's fly. Strike for the fastball one on one. We talk a lot about Lindy's fourth ball but Lindy feels his big pitch is the fastball.
1617
02:27:03,620 --> 02:27:10,620
The forkball makes it even better he says. The hitter has to think about the forkball.
1618
02:27:10,620 --> 02:27:18,620
There's a fly ball that deep to right center. Back there though waiting for it is Bluffery and he's got it.
1619
02:27:18,620 --> 02:27:26,620
Way back on the running track in front of the auxiliary scoreboard and McAuliffe is retired.
1620
02:27:26,620 --> 02:27:51,620
One down and Dalton Jones the batter and there have been some long fly balls in this ballgame.
1621
02:27:51,620 --> 02:27:58,620
Ball one to Dalton Jones. Jones Hummert leading off the first inning.
1622
02:27:58,620 --> 02:28:03,620
Many walked, flied to right and struck out. He hits a high fly ball again to right center field.
1623
02:28:03,620 --> 02:28:13,620
This time it's Mercer over from center in front of the scoreboard and he's got it.
1624
02:28:13,620 --> 02:28:21,620
Let's check him back. The Yankees did not make a put out at first base until the fourth inning.
1625
02:28:21,620 --> 02:28:28,620
I don't believe if I read my scorecard correctly.
1626
02:28:28,620 --> 02:28:38,620
There have been only six and one of those was a pop up.
1627
02:28:38,620 --> 02:28:51,620
Mickey Stanley the batter. Two for three and he takes low ball one.
1628
02:28:51,620 --> 02:29:05,620
Yankees leading at six five. The wind up and the pitch is swung on and missed strike one. A ball and a strike.
1629
02:29:05,620 --> 02:29:14,620
Lindley McDaniel the fourth pitcher used by the Yankees. Stan Bonson started. Ben Hamilton, Blankowski and now McDaniel.
1630
02:29:14,620 --> 02:29:19,620
One one pitch coming. Here it went right back through the box and out over second in the center field.
1631
02:29:19,620 --> 02:29:24,620
Base hit for Stanley and Stanley has had a hot bat this evening.
1632
02:29:24,620 --> 02:29:27,620
Three hits in this game. He had two in the opener.
1633
02:29:27,620 --> 02:29:39,620
So he is now five. Four let's see. Nine.
1634
02:29:39,620 --> 02:29:47,620
It brings up Jim Northrup. In the sixth inning batting for Ike Brown. Northrup had a drive to deep left center field.
1635
02:29:47,620 --> 02:29:52,620
It went oh four hundred and twenty feet anyway and Roy White made the catch.
1636
02:29:52,620 --> 02:29:59,620
Fell down somersaulted and held on to it. Northrup left hand batter swings and misses strike one.
1637
02:29:59,620 --> 02:30:07,620
He wants John Rice to take a look at the baseball.
1638
02:30:07,620 --> 02:30:11,620
And the ball comes out of play so Northrup saw something on it.
1639
02:30:11,620 --> 02:30:15,620
It's always amazing to me how these hitters standing up there will see that little smudge on the baseball.
1640
02:30:15,620 --> 02:30:25,620
As far as it's thrown up there to the plate.
1641
02:30:25,620 --> 02:30:37,620
Stanley leads at first. McDaniel's pitch to Northrup bowled back toward the upper deck.
1642
02:30:37,620 --> 02:30:51,620
I think he's trying to gain a split. Lost the first game 2 to 1 leading them this one 6 to 5.
1643
02:30:51,620 --> 02:30:57,620
0 and 2 the count to Northrup. McDaniel's pitch.
1644
02:30:57,620 --> 02:31:04,620
He bowled it away again. Reached out for it. Just got the tip end of the bat on it.
1645
02:31:04,620 --> 02:31:10,620
And he came back to the upper deck on the third base side.
1646
02:31:10,620 --> 02:31:16,620
Norm Cash is on deck.
1647
02:31:16,620 --> 02:31:22,620
We got the guys from the New York Military Academy at Cornwall on the Hudson with us tonight.
1648
02:31:22,620 --> 02:31:24,620
Happy to have them.
1649
02:31:24,620 --> 02:31:32,620
There's a ground ball back to McDaniel. He's got it. Makes his play to first base and plenty of time to retire Northrup and the side.
1650
02:31:32,620 --> 02:31:37,620
No runs at base yet. There are no errors and the man is left at the end of the top half of the eighth inning.
1651
02:31:37,620 --> 02:31:43,620
The score, New York 6 and Detroit 5.
1652
02:31:43,620 --> 02:31:45,620
Dr. Schling speaking.
1653
02:31:45,620 --> 02:31:50,620
Doctor, I can't see you today doctor because my car isn't breathing right.
1654
02:31:50,620 --> 02:31:55,620
Your car isn't breathing right. Leonard we have been through these reaction formations before.
1655
02:31:55,620 --> 02:32:01,620
If you don't want to come, don't come. But please none of these crazy, excuse me I didn't mean that, these silly excuses.
1656
02:32:01,620 --> 02:32:05,620
Doctor this is no excuse. Cars breathe.
1657
02:32:05,620 --> 02:32:13,620
I understand how you feel. If someone tells you that their car isn't breathing right, they're every bit as sane as you and I.
1658
02:32:13,620 --> 02:32:23,620
Cars do breathe. At Atlantic we make a new gasoline, Arco Supreme gasoline, that helps your car breathe in easy to breathe out cleaner.
1659
02:32:23,620 --> 02:32:32,620
Arco Supreme helps prevent deposits from clogging the carburetor, air intake valves, and anti-pollution valve of your car.
1660
02:32:32,620 --> 02:32:38,620
So your car gets better mileage and produces less unburned hydrocarbons to pollute the air.
1661
02:32:38,620 --> 02:32:43,620
New Arco Supreme gasoline, at your Atlantic dealer now.
1662
02:32:43,620 --> 02:32:48,620
Hi Bob, I'm here, the star of the bullpen for Detroit, Tom Tillerman comes on the pitch.
1663
02:32:48,620 --> 02:32:56,620
And as Tillerman takes his warm up throws, why don't you slip in here and tell the folks about him and carry him through the rest of this ballgame.
1664
02:32:56,620 --> 02:33:04,620
Well good thanks. Tillerman is coming on for his 42nd ballgame, which reckons his 4 wins and 3 losses, and his earned run average is 4.09.
1665
02:33:04,620 --> 02:33:12,620
The big contribution that he has made to this staff is the fact that he has 18 saves. He has saved 18 ballgames.
1666
02:33:12,620 --> 02:33:18,620
And that puts him by himself, whereas on the Yankees, Lindy McDaniel and Jack Aker both have a lot of saves.
1667
02:33:18,620 --> 02:33:23,620
He has 18 in the closest man to him. John Hiller has 3.
1668
02:33:23,620 --> 02:33:32,620
The Yankees on the other hand, the save department, it's been pretty even, in fact dead even. 14 for McDaniel and 14 for Jack Aker.
1669
02:33:32,620 --> 02:33:35,620
Steve Hamilton also has 3.
1670
02:33:35,620 --> 02:33:44,620
Danny Kader will be leading it off as we go into the bottom half of the 8th inning.
1671
02:33:44,620 --> 02:33:53,620
This game has had a little bit of everything. The Yankees lead it 6 to 5, and as it stands now the key play, the one that Mercer hit the left field.
1672
02:33:53,620 --> 02:34:00,620
And Ike Brown got his glove in the ball, the ball hit out of his glove and bounded up into the seat for a home run.
1673
02:34:00,620 --> 02:34:10,620
Kader to the batter, the pitch. Curve is in there, strike one from Tillerman. No balls and one strike.
1674
02:34:10,620 --> 02:34:18,620
All in one to Kader. The pitch. Danny swings and Mercer is going to. Kader does not stop this game.
1675
02:34:18,620 --> 02:34:23,620
He went in as a pinch hitter for Pete Ward when the left-handed pitcher John Hiller came in.
1676
02:34:23,620 --> 02:34:29,620
No balls and two strikes.
1677
02:34:29,620 --> 02:34:40,620
Tillerman's pitch is rolling away and it's 1 and 2.
1678
02:34:40,620 --> 02:34:47,620
Been a long night of baseball and excitement at the stadium. Here it comes, here it goes, about to round over the mound.
1679
02:34:47,620 --> 02:34:52,620
Out towards shortstop Gideon's gloves, it's a throw, in time and there's one out.
1680
02:34:52,620 --> 02:34:57,620
Right now on Yankee baseball we pause for station identification.
1681
02:34:57,620 --> 02:35:10,620
This is Harry Downey bringing the Upside Downey game your way, weekdays 10 to 3 here on the Fresh Air Sound of Radio 81, WGY's Connected E.
1682
02:35:10,620 --> 02:35:18,620
One out and it brings up Leffrey who has flat out three times in the ball again.
1683
02:35:18,620 --> 02:35:24,620
The pitch occurred, hit in the air over third base, maybe dropping in there it is, it's a base hit down the left-field line.
1684
02:35:24,620 --> 02:35:34,620
Chasing the ball to shortstop Vidiera as he picks it up but Leffrey is in standing a second with a double.
1685
02:35:34,620 --> 02:35:45,620
And that'll be a night for Coach Leffrey, Jimmy Lytle is coming out of the Yankee dugout and he'll be pinch running for Coach Leffrey.
1686
02:35:45,620 --> 02:35:52,620
So Lytle is the pinch runner with one out in the ninth inning.
1687
02:35:52,620 --> 02:36:04,620
And Jerry Kenny will be the batter.
1688
02:36:04,620 --> 02:36:10,620
Last year at Detroit, Zimmerman had a record of four and three, they brought him up towards the end of the season.
1689
02:36:10,620 --> 02:36:15,620
And the first game he ever pitched in the Major Leagues was right here at Yankee Stadium.
1690
02:36:15,620 --> 02:36:21,620
And it was the first of five successive scoreless relief appearances.
1691
02:36:21,620 --> 02:36:25,620
And he's out of the batter's box.
1692
02:36:25,620 --> 02:36:31,620
He's back on June the 18th of last year.
1693
02:36:31,620 --> 02:36:34,620
To the bell, Bill Zimmerman.
1694
02:36:34,620 --> 02:36:37,620
The pitch to Kenny, he swings it at the high bounder over the box again.
1695
02:36:37,620 --> 02:36:41,620
Over to Gettit Gutierrez, he has it to throw out at first.
1696
02:36:41,620 --> 02:36:46,620
And again the Yankees are going to play and the catch took his foot off the bag.
1697
02:36:46,620 --> 02:36:50,620
That's the second time they've played that.
1698
02:36:50,620 --> 02:36:55,620
And Jerry Kenny is arguing with not his spring foot and Ralph Hark has to join the play.
1699
02:36:55,620 --> 02:36:58,620
He wants to keep Kenny away.
1700
02:36:58,620 --> 02:37:00,620
That is the second time tonight.
1701
02:37:00,620 --> 02:37:02,620
Here comes Mayo Smith out.
1702
02:37:02,620 --> 02:37:06,620
I don't know what he's going to argue about.
1703
02:37:06,620 --> 02:37:09,620
They're going to show that again on the TV playback here.
1704
02:37:09,620 --> 02:37:15,620
I'll tell you, I know they allow a little leeway for the first baseman.
1705
02:37:15,620 --> 02:37:20,620
But Norm Cash has gotten away with it twice and it's a good play if you do it.
1706
02:37:20,620 --> 02:37:23,620
Awful how did they catch?
1707
02:37:23,620 --> 02:37:26,620
Because nobody wants to keep his foot on the bag.
1708
02:37:26,620 --> 02:37:28,620
Let's face it, because he could get spiked.
1709
02:37:28,620 --> 02:37:32,620
So normally if you just touch it, in a split second they'll give it to you.
1710
02:37:32,620 --> 02:37:34,620
But he stretched it a little.
1711
02:37:34,620 --> 02:37:37,620
Two outs for the Yankees.
1712
02:37:37,620 --> 02:37:40,620
Over at third base is Jimmy Lionel, the pinch runner.
1713
02:37:40,620 --> 02:37:44,620
Mayo Smith has just gone to talk to Zimmerman about what to do with Gene Michael.
1714
02:37:44,620 --> 02:37:47,620
Gene Michael is the number eight hitter.
1715
02:37:47,620 --> 02:37:49,620
And with Linda McDaniel, the next gauge will batter.
1716
02:37:49,620 --> 02:37:53,620
Chances are they'll give him a free base on balls here.
1717
02:37:53,620 --> 02:38:03,620
But let's wait and see.
1718
02:38:03,620 --> 02:38:12,620
Price is coming back and he's getting down on the crouch.
1719
02:38:12,620 --> 02:38:17,620
So it looks as if they're going to pitch to Gene Michael with two outs and a run around third.
1720
02:38:17,620 --> 02:38:19,620
First pitch to Gene.
1721
02:38:19,620 --> 02:38:23,620
On the corner strike, no balls and one strike.
1722
02:38:23,620 --> 02:38:29,620
Linda McDaniel is on deck.
1723
02:38:29,620 --> 02:38:32,620
Both teams today have hit the Yankees six, the Tigers five.
1724
02:38:32,620 --> 02:38:36,620
Tigers won the opener two to one.
1725
02:38:36,620 --> 02:38:38,620
Pitch is low and it's one and one.
1726
02:38:38,620 --> 02:38:40,620
Baltimore and Cleveland have split.
1727
02:38:40,620 --> 02:38:42,620
Cleveland the first game, four to nothing.
1728
02:38:42,620 --> 02:38:45,620
Baltimore the second game, seven to one.
1729
02:38:45,620 --> 02:38:50,620
So if the Yankees win this, it's a Mexican standoff.
1730
02:38:50,620 --> 02:38:52,620
One and one to Michael.
1731
02:38:52,620 --> 02:38:53,620
Zimmerman throws.
1732
02:38:53,620 --> 02:39:02,620
Michael swings foul ball third base side off the railing and the count's one and two.
1733
02:39:02,620 --> 02:39:09,620
As quiet a game as the first game was with no Yankee hits after the fourth inning and no runs for anybody after the fifth.
1734
02:39:09,620 --> 02:39:11,620
This one has been jam packed.
1735
02:39:11,620 --> 02:39:15,620
From the leadoff man, Dalton Jones' home run right to this point.
1736
02:39:15,620 --> 02:39:17,620
Yankees lead six to five at the bottom of the eighth.
1737
02:39:17,620 --> 02:39:20,620
It's one and two to Gene Michael.
1738
02:39:20,620 --> 02:39:22,620
Lytle off third.
1739
02:39:22,620 --> 02:39:23,620
Zimmerman is stretching.
1740
02:39:23,620 --> 02:39:26,620
He isn't going on any wind-ups.
1741
02:39:26,620 --> 02:39:28,620
Now he goes to his motion to the belt.
1742
02:39:28,620 --> 02:39:29,620
The pitch, Michael swings.
1743
02:39:29,620 --> 02:39:32,620
Blinds right base head up the middle.
1744
02:39:32,620 --> 02:39:37,620
In the start comes Lytle and the Yankees lead seven to five.
1745
02:39:37,620 --> 02:39:53,620
And now the pitcher, Lindy McDaniel, is two outs in the bottom of the eighth.
1746
02:39:53,620 --> 02:40:01,620
So the Yankees get McDaniel an insurance run as Lindy steps in.
1747
02:40:01,620 --> 02:40:06,620
First pitch to him is low and inside for ball one.
1748
02:40:06,620 --> 02:40:15,620
McDaniel's batting average is 111.
1749
02:40:15,620 --> 02:40:16,620
Zimmerman checks Michael.
1750
02:40:16,620 --> 02:40:19,620
The pitch, McDaniel swings and misses it, and he really missed.
1751
02:40:19,620 --> 02:40:23,620
One ball and a run strike.
1752
02:40:23,620 --> 02:40:29,620
Yankees have had two home runs, one a long line drive deep into the seats by Roy Weiss,
1753
02:40:29,620 --> 02:40:36,620
and the other one, who drives that most of the hits, went out of the right, grounds, drove, and into the seat.
1754
02:40:36,620 --> 02:40:37,620
Curve is over.
1755
02:40:37,620 --> 02:40:40,620
Strike two is one and two.
1756
02:40:40,620 --> 02:40:48,620
That was a big blow for the Yankees because they tied it up in the bottom of the fifth at five-five.
1757
02:40:48,620 --> 02:40:49,620
And the pitch.
1758
02:40:49,620 --> 02:40:52,620
Line drive, base hit for Lindy McDaniel in the center field.
1759
02:40:52,620 --> 02:40:54,620
Ball being fielded by Stanley.
1760
02:40:54,620 --> 02:40:56,620
Rooms it in most of the way.
1761
02:40:56,620 --> 02:41:04,620
First pitch is a second, and McDaniel gets a base hit.
1762
02:41:04,620 --> 02:41:08,620
First and second for the Yankees and two out.
1763
02:41:08,620 --> 02:41:14,620
So the Yankees are treating Zimmerman rather roughly here on the bottom of the eighth.
1764
02:41:14,620 --> 02:41:17,620
Although roughly hitting with a blue fillet.
1765
02:41:17,620 --> 02:41:20,620
Michael and McDaniel are followed with singles.
1766
02:41:20,620 --> 02:41:27,620
The Yankees lead it seven to five.
1767
02:41:27,620 --> 02:41:29,620
Harv Park has had one hit, but it was a big double.
1768
02:41:29,620 --> 02:41:32,620
He swings it, he fires it, strike one.
1769
02:41:32,620 --> 02:41:38,620
His double, like Bluffer's, was not that hard hit, but it was a big hit in the ball game.
1770
02:41:38,620 --> 02:41:41,620
And the Yankees trailing five to three.
1771
02:41:41,620 --> 02:41:44,620
Hiller had retired seven in a row, and he popped it into short right field.
1772
02:41:44,620 --> 02:41:48,620
And when Jones knocked up, kicked it away, he went for two.
1773
02:41:48,620 --> 02:41:51,620
Pitch is outside low at one and one.
1774
02:41:51,620 --> 02:41:55,620
One ball and one strike.
1775
02:41:55,620 --> 02:42:00,620
So the Yankees looking for a split, and they'll play the rubber game tomorrow.
1776
02:42:00,620 --> 02:42:19,620
The stretch, the pitch, crack, take, strike two, it's called a one and two.
1777
02:42:19,620 --> 02:42:24,620
Seven to five Yankees, bottom half of the eighth inning.
1778
02:42:24,620 --> 02:42:26,620
Zimmerman goes to the bell, checks the runners.
1779
02:42:26,620 --> 02:42:30,620
He delivers, swinging a little bounce of foul over towards the Yankee dugout.
1780
02:42:30,620 --> 02:42:36,620
The count holds at one ball and two strikes.
1781
02:42:36,620 --> 02:42:41,620
Zimmerman is 29 years old, he's 6'4", 210 pounds.
1782
02:42:41,620 --> 02:42:49,620
He's a graduate of Southern Illinois University.
1783
02:42:49,620 --> 02:42:53,620
Big right hand to deliver, Clark swings and pops a foul, and out of play.
1784
02:42:53,620 --> 02:43:09,620
Third base side, well, comes down into the lower deck.
1785
02:43:09,620 --> 02:43:15,620
One ball and two strikes to Harris Park.
1786
02:43:15,620 --> 02:43:19,620
The stretch, and now stepping off is Zimmerman.
1787
02:43:19,620 --> 02:43:21,620
Clark stays right in there.
1788
02:43:21,620 --> 02:43:23,620
Zimmerman gets back on the rubber.
1789
02:43:23,620 --> 02:43:27,620
He delivers, Clark swings and fouls it back behind the plate on the ground.
1790
02:43:27,620 --> 02:43:32,620
The count holds at one and two.
1791
02:43:32,620 --> 02:43:39,620
The National League, the Cardinals lead the Mets 3-0 at the end of four.
1792
02:43:39,620 --> 02:43:41,620
Pittsburgh is in the process of winning a double header.
1793
02:43:41,620 --> 02:43:45,620
They beat the Phillies 4-0, they're leading the Nightshifts 6-2.
1794
02:43:45,620 --> 02:43:49,620
They went into today with a one game lead in that Eastern Division.
1795
02:43:49,620 --> 02:43:51,620
It's one and two to clock.
1796
02:43:51,620 --> 02:43:55,620
Here it comes, and there it goes, a high pop of this foul outside of first.
1797
02:43:55,620 --> 02:44:18,620
Coming over Cas, he does not have room, it's in the stands.
1798
02:44:18,620 --> 02:44:20,620
One and two to clock.
1799
02:44:20,620 --> 02:44:23,620
Here's the pick, swinging about for outside second baseman Jones.
1800
02:44:23,620 --> 02:44:27,620
Gets it, flips it over to the shortstop, goodie errors and the sides retire.
1801
02:44:27,620 --> 02:44:31,620
For the Yankees in the eighth inning, they get a run on three hits.
1802
02:44:31,620 --> 02:44:33,620
There were no errors, and one man left.
1803
02:44:33,620 --> 02:44:38,620
At the end of eight, it's the Yankees 7 and the Tigers 5.
1804
02:44:38,620 --> 02:44:43,620
Well, here's the list of the places where you can purchase tickets for the big ball games coming up at Yankee Stadium.
1805
02:44:43,620 --> 02:44:48,620
The box seats are $4, and the reserve seats $2.75.
1806
02:44:48,620 --> 02:44:53,620
There's no problem purchasing Yankee tickets anywhere around the New York metropolitan area.
1807
02:44:53,620 --> 02:45:00,620
You can pick up your tickets at the Shrash Restaurant, at the Ticketron outlets such as Gimbels and Goats department stores,
1808
02:45:00,620 --> 02:45:05,620
from the North Jersey AAA Automobile Clubs in Oredell, Paterson, and Jersey City,
1809
02:45:05,620 --> 02:45:09,620
from Ticketron, the Yankee ticket office at the Main City level of the Grand Central Station,
1810
02:45:09,620 --> 02:45:13,620
from the Yankee Stadium Advanced Ticket Window, and through the mail,
1811
02:45:13,620 --> 02:45:17,620
writes the ticket director, Yankee Stadium, the Bronx, New York.
1812
02:45:17,620 --> 02:45:18,620
Ticket...
1813
02:45:18,620 --> 02:45:21,620
Roast beef that tastes so fine.
1814
02:45:21,620 --> 02:45:25,620
Neba's open most of the time.
1815
02:45:25,620 --> 02:45:32,620
Potato nuggets and good hot ham and Neba roast beef.
1816
02:45:32,620 --> 02:45:36,620
Mike's up the giant can.
1817
02:45:36,620 --> 02:45:39,620
Biggest sandwich you'll ever find.
1818
02:45:39,620 --> 02:45:42,620
Lunch or supper or midnight meal.
1819
02:45:42,620 --> 02:45:48,620
It's Mike's Giant Sub.
1820
02:45:48,620 --> 02:45:51,620
Looking for a new kind of excitement?
1821
02:45:51,620 --> 02:45:53,620
Hey, come on out.
1822
02:45:53,620 --> 02:45:58,620
Tarot Token will give you the inside track.
1823
02:45:58,620 --> 02:46:01,620
Bright lights, flashing colors, spinning wheels.
1824
02:46:01,620 --> 02:46:04,620
If you're looking for the kind of action you won't find anywhere else,
1825
02:46:04,620 --> 02:46:07,620
we'll give you the inside track.
1826
02:46:07,620 --> 02:46:13,620
It's Saratoga, home of the crazy.
1827
02:46:13,620 --> 02:46:19,620
Daily Double closes at 8, post-time 8.15.
1828
02:46:19,620 --> 02:46:24,620
With 1-3 lost to and split by.
1829
02:46:24,620 --> 02:46:28,620
McDaniel Lacash swinging on a no-strike one.
1830
02:46:28,620 --> 02:46:30,620
Lindy can throw all he's got now on the ninth inning.
1831
02:46:30,620 --> 02:46:32,620
This will be his third inning of relief.
1832
02:46:32,620 --> 02:46:34,620
No balls and one strike.
1833
02:46:34,620 --> 02:46:37,620
The pitcher of record is Benkowski, who stands to be the winner.
1834
02:46:37,620 --> 02:46:39,620
McDaniel another save.
1835
02:46:39,620 --> 02:46:54,620
The windup, the pitch, fourth ball misses outside and it's 1-1.
1836
02:46:54,620 --> 02:46:55,620
McDaniel winds.
1837
02:46:55,620 --> 02:47:05,620
He delivers outside, two balls and one strike.
1838
02:47:05,620 --> 02:47:09,620
Doublehead is the Tigers of 1-2, lost none and split by.
1839
02:47:09,620 --> 02:47:13,620
The pitch, swinging about the foul outside of first down the right field.
1840
02:47:13,620 --> 02:47:23,620
Line up, two balls and two strikes.
1841
02:47:23,620 --> 02:47:31,620
Two and two to count on catch.
1842
02:47:31,620 --> 02:47:35,620
McDaniel ends the line up, the pitch just misses the inside corner.
1843
02:47:35,620 --> 02:47:37,620
It's three and two.
1844
02:47:37,620 --> 02:47:52,620
Yankees leading at seven to five, top half of the ninth inning.
1845
02:47:52,620 --> 02:47:56,620
McDaniel winds the full count pitch high for ball four.
1846
02:47:56,620 --> 02:48:02,620
That's a rare walk given up by Lindy McDaniel.
1847
02:48:02,620 --> 02:48:07,620
That's Lindy's second walk of the night.
1848
02:48:07,620 --> 02:48:18,620
And on the year only his 14th base on balls in about 83 innings.
1849
02:48:18,620 --> 02:48:24,620
Here's Russ Nagelson and suddenly the tying run is out the plate with nobody out for the Tigers.
1850
02:48:24,620 --> 02:48:27,620
Nagelson has one home run.
1851
02:48:27,620 --> 02:48:29,620
Here's the stretch.
1852
02:48:29,620 --> 02:48:30,620
McDaniel delivers.
1853
02:48:30,620 --> 02:48:32,620
Nagelson swings and misses strike one.
1854
02:48:32,620 --> 02:48:47,620
No balls and one strike.
1855
02:48:47,620 --> 02:48:48,620
And the ball goes to McDaniel.
1856
02:48:48,620 --> 02:48:50,620
The pitch, fourth ball lined out in the center field.
1857
02:48:50,620 --> 02:48:52,620
Mason's got a long run coming on.
1858
02:48:52,620 --> 02:48:53,620
He makes the catch.
1859
02:48:53,620 --> 02:49:01,620
Reached down with a glove hand and came up with it and there's one out.
1860
02:49:01,620 --> 02:49:04,620
So McDaniel gets one out with one on and Don Ward will be the batter.
1861
02:49:04,620 --> 02:49:06,620
Ward's single in the first inning.
1862
02:49:06,620 --> 02:49:10,620
Right out to deep left field with the bases loaded in the second.
1863
02:49:10,620 --> 02:49:19,620
Popped up in the fourth and flat out to left field in the seventh inning.
1864
02:49:19,620 --> 02:49:23,620
One out and Ward's the batter.
1865
02:49:23,620 --> 02:49:32,620
Ward has five home runs.
1866
02:49:32,620 --> 02:49:42,620
The pitch is high for ball on. One ball and no strikes.
1867
02:49:42,620 --> 02:49:46,620
One and out of the count.
1868
02:49:46,620 --> 02:49:48,620
The stretch.
1869
02:49:48,620 --> 02:49:50,620
The pitch to Ward. He swings.
1870
02:49:50,620 --> 02:49:52,620
Line drives it out to right field.
1871
02:49:52,620 --> 02:49:53,620
Lytle and a strike.
1872
02:49:53,620 --> 02:49:54,620
Makes the catch.
1873
02:49:54,620 --> 02:49:58,620
Oh, he's got two outs and back to first base.
1874
02:49:58,620 --> 02:50:03,620
Well, it's a two star line drives off, Lindy, but they've been big outs.
1875
02:50:03,620 --> 02:50:06,620
And let's see who the batter will be.
1876
02:50:06,620 --> 02:50:09,620
Jim Price is due to bat.
1877
02:50:09,620 --> 02:50:14,620
Could be Bill Frehand.
1878
02:50:14,620 --> 02:50:17,620
Now, the tail line hasn't been in the game yet.
1879
02:50:17,620 --> 02:50:27,620
It's Bill Frehand who'll be doing the pinchheading.
1880
02:50:27,620 --> 02:50:31,620
Now, Linda McDaniels down to the last out.
1881
02:50:31,620 --> 02:50:40,620
I remember one night in Detroit, Frehand on the bottom of the ninth, won the ball again for the Tigers with a long home run.
1882
02:50:40,620 --> 02:50:46,620
Frehand hasn't hit for a high percentage, but he's been a home run hitter.
1883
02:50:46,620 --> 02:51:06,620
Frehand has 15 home runs and a batting average of 232.
1884
02:51:06,620 --> 02:51:20,620
Frehand steps in. Yankees aren't going to worry about cash over there on his first. Nobody's going to hold him close.
1885
02:51:20,620 --> 02:51:24,620
All right, Frehand in the batter's box. He'll be swinging for all his work.
1886
02:51:24,620 --> 02:51:26,620
The stretch by McDaniel.
1887
02:51:26,620 --> 02:51:33,620
The pitch. Frehand takes strike once for all. No balls and one strike.
1888
02:51:33,620 --> 02:51:46,620
Yankees seven, the Tigers five, we're on the top of the ninth. Tigers won the opener two to one.
1889
02:51:46,620 --> 02:51:51,620
As the stretch by McDaniel, Linda kicks the liver, swinging about the head wide a third.
1890
02:51:51,620 --> 02:51:55,620
Kenny up at the ball, goes to short. Wait a second, the ball game's over.
1891
02:51:55,620 --> 02:52:00,620
Kenny to half clock and the game is over. In the ninth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors.
1892
02:52:00,620 --> 02:52:06,620
One man left. For a final score, the Yankees get a split. The Yankees seven, the Tigers five.
1893
02:52:06,620 --> 02:52:32,620
The big, big changes to the big, big A. The big, big changes to the big, big A. The big changes to A-Mart's stores.
1894
02:52:32,620 --> 02:52:36,620
And this week, beef prices are low, low at A-Mart, A&P's discount food stores.
1895
02:52:36,620 --> 02:52:39,620
Super-right quality sirloin steaks, a dollar-eight-a-pound.
1896
02:52:39,620 --> 02:52:43,620
Imagine a dollar-eight-a-pound for A-Mart's grain-fed steer beef.
1897
02:52:43,620 --> 02:52:48,620
Guaranteed delicious or money-backed. Stock up for indoor meals, for the charcoal grill.
1898
02:52:48,620 --> 02:52:51,620
Sirloin steaks, a dollar-eight-a-pound at A-Mart.
1899
02:52:51,620 --> 02:52:57,620
To go with your steak, get Bird's Eye Tasty Fries, potato puffs, five 10-ounce packages, one dollar.
1900
02:52:57,620 --> 02:53:02,620
And for salads, sandwiches, A-Mart's Vine-Ripened Tomatoes, 29 cents a pound.
1901
02:53:02,620 --> 02:53:14,620
Be smart, shop A-Mart, open nine till nine.
1902
02:53:14,620 --> 02:53:20,620
Rod Kingkowski, as we suspected, gets the win in the night. Half his record is four and four.
1903
02:53:20,620 --> 02:53:25,620
John Hiller is the loser. He's five and four. The save for Linda McDaniel is 15th.
1904
02:53:25,620 --> 02:53:31,620
He has now hurled 20th goal this inning, and his earned run average is a sensational 1.62.
1905
02:53:31,620 --> 02:53:36,620
For the Yankees, seven runs, ten hits in one hour. And the Tigers, five runs, eight hits in no hours.
1906
02:53:36,620 --> 02:53:41,620
From Kowski, the winner is four and four. And Hiller, the loser, is five and four.
1907
02:53:41,620 --> 02:53:45,620
In the first game, the Tigers won a two-to-one. So Kenny went all the way to win it.
1908
02:53:45,620 --> 02:53:50,620
He's six and two. He takes the four-header. Got a mile and all the way to lose it.
1909
02:53:50,620 --> 02:53:57,620
The Yankees' record is ten and ten. Two, eight, and zero for Detroit. One, four, and zero for the Yankees.
1910
02:53:57,620 --> 02:54:01,620
In the first game, the Tigers took the lead in the fifth inning, and they were never headed.
1911
02:54:01,620 --> 02:54:06,620
As they won a five-score, two to one. The Yankees didn't get a hit after the fourth inning.
1912
02:54:06,620 --> 02:54:11,620
In the night, it was just the opposite of the first. Dalton Jones led off the game with a home run.
1913
02:54:11,620 --> 02:54:17,620
The Tigers got two in that first inning. The Yankees came back with three on a three-run homer by Roy White.
1914
02:54:17,620 --> 02:54:22,620
The lead was short. While the Tigers got two back, in the top of the second, the lead fought a three.
1915
02:54:22,620 --> 02:54:31,620
And the chase, Dan Bonson. Steve Hamilton came on. He gave that one run, two and two third innings in such a.
1916
02:54:31,620 --> 02:54:36,620
After that, it was Roy from Kowski who came on to pitch well and pick up the win.
1917
02:54:36,620 --> 02:54:39,620
And Linda McDaniel picked the last three and released.
1918
02:54:39,620 --> 02:54:42,620
Big blow for the Yankees, and they were trailing five to three.
1919
02:54:42,620 --> 02:54:47,620
Bobby Mercer had a fly ball with hard clock on second, the deep left field.
1920
02:54:47,620 --> 02:54:55,620
Ike Brown at the wall hit a drive, a bounce into the stands, the Walt was scored a home run, and a tie to the ball game at five-five.
1921
02:54:55,620 --> 02:55:01,620
The Yankees then got the winning run in the sixth inning on a line drive double by Jerry Kennedy to left field.
1922
02:55:01,620 --> 02:55:07,620
A single by Gene Michael put runners on first and third, and in third and month it was a pinch hitter,
1923
02:55:07,620 --> 02:55:12,620
brought him into the double play, 20 score ups he scored and the Yankees had the lead.
1924
02:55:12,620 --> 02:55:16,620
They got the insurance run in the eighth inning on a double by Bluffery, a single by Michael,
1925
02:55:16,620 --> 02:55:20,620
and Linda McDaniel was pitching in relief. That's what it is, an insurance run.
1926
02:55:20,620 --> 02:55:24,620
The Yankees won it by a score of seven to five.
1927
02:55:24,620 --> 02:55:27,620
So the second place will still be on the line tomorrow night.
1928
02:55:27,620 --> 02:55:30,620
We're right back where we started. The Yankees a half game ahead of the Tigers,
1929
02:55:30,620 --> 02:55:33,620
but time is running out on both clubs against Baltimore.
1930
02:55:33,620 --> 02:55:39,620
The Orioles splitting tonight at Cleveland, but the Orioles are happy every day that goes by and nobody moves any closer.
1931
02:55:39,620 --> 02:55:46,620
As it stands, the Yankees and the Tigers, the Yankees in second place, nine and a half games out of first,
1932
02:55:46,620 --> 02:55:51,620
the Tigers in third, a half game behind the Yankees, and they'll play for second place tomorrow,
1933
02:55:51,620 --> 02:55:54,620
as well as for the rubber game of this series.
1934
02:55:54,620 --> 02:55:59,620
Once again, the score tonight, in the first game the Tigers two, the Yankees one,
1935
02:55:59,620 --> 02:56:03,620
the Nightcats, the Yankees seven, and Detroit five.
1936
02:56:03,620 --> 02:56:07,620
And now this is Bob Gamere speaking for Fuller's Interone Frankmutter,
1937
02:56:07,620 --> 02:56:10,620
thanking our stat assistant broadcast coordinator Bill Kane,
1938
02:56:10,620 --> 02:56:14,620
our directorate engineer Sandy Alva, and our producer Bob Center.
1939
02:56:14,620 --> 02:56:29,620
This is Bob Gamere saying goodbye from Yankee Stadium in New York.
