and the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers have won 5 of 6 with the Padres here, 9 of 15 on
the full season. We'll be underway with tonight's game in a moment. Now here is our national
anthem.
Thank you and we'll start at it again as well.
on the way in a few moments.
I will check the scoreboard before the Dodgers go out there in the ninth inning of the second
game of a doubleheader at Pittsburgh.
The match won the first game one to nothing.
The match are leading the second game one to nothing and boy they're trying to double
the hard-hitting ball club twice one to nothing and that's really a tough job.
Don Cardwell is working in the second game.
First game the Mets won it one to nothing as Kuzma pitch a three-hitter and drove in
the winning run.
The Cardinals have had to make a pitching change in the eighth inning against the Cubs
at St. Louis.
Now the Dodgers take the field.
In the game at St. Louis, Chicago won, St. Louis won but as we told you, Horner has come
into relief Taylor in the eighth so the Cubs now try to snap an 18-losing streak.
The Mets have won eight straight.
Atlanta beat Houston four to three, saving off a three-run rally by Houston in the eighth
inning.
Stone the winner and Griffin the loser and Stone had a home run in the seventh inning
one on and it turned out to be the margin in the ball game.
So hitting pitchers tonight, the story.
Kuzma drove in the winning run to beat Pittsburgh and Stone drove in two runs with a home run
to beat Houston.
San Francisco and Cincinnati will play at San Francisco and will keep you up to date
on that one with a play-by-play report from Candlestick Park.
Arrigo and Marishaw, Arrigo two and six, Marishaw 17 and 10.
Meanwhile in the game that means nothing, Montreal beat Philadelphia four to nothing.
American League doubleheader first game three to one in favor of Seattle over California
and in that game another hitting pitcher, George Burnett, hit a home run in the second
inning with none on.
Final scores are in, Baltimore beat Cleveland two to one, Washington beat Detroit four to
three, Boston and New York split a doubleheader and New York won the first game five-three,
Boston the night cap four-three.
Kansas City and Minnesota it is three to nothing, Minnesota leading in the eighth inning and
Oakland leads Chicago 12 to four in the ninth inning.
So about set, Bill Singer tried to get number 19 tonight, did not make it his last time
out against the Padres but he beat Atlanta in the first game of that series on Monday.
So Singer will be ready to go here against the Padres in the first game of this series.
Time to play ball, the Dodgers and San Diego from beautiful Dodger Stadium and now for
the play-by-play, here's Vince Gulley.
Billy, thank you Jerry, hi everybody and a very pleasant good evening to you and ever
may be and here we go again, another chapter in the Wild West show in the National League
and it'll be Jose Arceus is started off, he'll be followed by Roberto Pena and Olly Brown.
Arceus, rangey right hand hitting second baseman, enjoyed a fine series against the Dodgers
as did just about the entire ball club.
Arceus does not have any kind of a flossing batting average, he's hitting only 196.
However, he's had some timely bases.
Bill Singer starts him with a fastball, a throw down to Sizemore, Ted picks it up and
throws him out.
One pitch and one away and the ball game officially underway and the battle will be Roberto Pena.
The Chicago Cubs were struggling, they were trailing 1-0 at the end of six innings, they
got a run in the seventh inning to tie and now in the eighth the Cubs have gotten four
so they're leading the Cardinals 5-1 in the bottom of the eighth.
Meanwhile, Tug McGraw has had to come in and pitch the ninth inning of the second game
at Pittsburgh.
Here's Pena, he's a hot hitter, he takes a breaking ball for a strike, going one.
Roberto Pena hitting 240 with four home runs, 26 RBIs, hit a two run home run in Cincinnati,
strike one pitch on the way, breaking ball hits the right field, Crawford comes in right
there now and makes the catch.
Throw two down and here's the right fielder, Olly Brown.
Olly has had a bad back, he's alright now.
Olly Brown hitting 257, he has 18 home runs, 52 runs batted in.
Bill Singer on the rubber, into the windup and delivers, fastball high and away, ball
one.
Singer in quest of his 19, Claude Osteen reached that plateau last night.
Singer comes right back to the plate, 1-0, fastball low, ball two.
Full prior of the plate umpire, Tony Vinson at first, Mike Shikori at second, Dave Davidson
at third.
First game of the weekend series with the San Diego Padres.
Now the 2-0 pitch on the way, fastball hit off Singer's right leg, cams over towards
the third base foul line and no play.
Bagnamara got any more on the foot than the leg.
A shot struck him on the right leg.
Olly Brown is safely aboard, Singer has not even bothered to rub.
So he's a fortunate young man, apparently he's okay and the battle will be out for
all of.
Line drive, it struck Singer on the right leg.
Bill now walking back up to the top and he is now starting to hurt a little bit.
It got him I think just below the ankle.
I think it struck him but it happened so fast on the right foot.
And after getting back up to the mound he realized that now the numbness has gone and
the pain is settling in.
And so Singer struck by the line drive off the bat of Olly Brown and time out.
Bill Diller menacing to him now.
Parker Sizemore and manager Walter Olson also out there.
And Bill now trying to walk it off.
As a right hander naturally that is the push off foot and he's going to practice it right
now.
Singer says I'm all right, okay, that's good enough.
For Bill stung by the line drive for a base hit, makes one practice toss and says he's
okay.
Al Ferraro hitting 271 with 13 home runs, 53 runs batted in.
So Ferraro checks in with Olly Brown at first base.
Brown has stolen seven bases and the first thing Singer does is driving back with a toss.
Singer after Brown and Bill delivers breaking ball down and away.
One ball and no strikes to Al Ferraro.
Al strong right hand batter.
Singer's got another look at Brown back with a fast ball in there for a strike one and
one.
Bill Singer came home ahead of the ball club yesterday.
The Dodgers arriving about 2.30 this morning from Houston.
Play now through Perse and then go back out on the road.
One one six, slow curve is fouled away in the count one and two.
The Dodgers go quickly on their last road trip after this home stand.
They go to San Francisco and Cincinnati and that will be that.
They come home and dig in for the final home stand of the year and then we'll see or will
we.
One and two to Al Ferraro.
Singer delivers Brown goes it's one on and missed strike three.
Bill Al Ferraro strikes out and in the first inning no runs one hit a man left and at the
end of half an inning Padres nothing and the Dodgers coming out.
You know it wasn't long ago when the Dodgers were known as Bums and they went to some ridiculous
extremes during that nickname.
A Dodger outfielder was once hit on the head by a fly ball.
Tell us and all the shame and three Dodger runners ended up on third base at the same
time.
Yes fans still remember that famous Dodger who obliged the crowd by tipping his hat and
the bird flew out of it.
Who was that?
Sure Casey Singles.
But today there's a new team and there's a new way to enjoy Dodger excitement.
Fans are discovering that a good time is more thrilling with the chilling refreshments of
Schlitz Malt Liquor.
You just can't outscore the bolder brawnier performance of the drink inspired by a bowl.
Schlitz Malt Liquor.
Age longer with more hops and more.
So anytime the action picks up be sure to pick up a can of Schlitz Malt Liquor.
There isn't a better way to beat a third.
And believe us the word is out.
Nobody makes more liquor like Schlitz.
Nobody.
Bottom of the first inning will set San Diego defensively right into Al Santorini on the
mound and Chris Canagero behind the plate.
The infield Nate Colbert at first, Jose Arcia at second, Roberto Pena at short and Van Kelly
at third.
In the outfield Al Ferraro in left, Jerry Morales in center and Ollie Brown in right.
For the Dodgers it will be Maury Wills, Manny Motta and Willie Davis.
Well a New York match did what most folks would figure to be impossible.
In a double header at Ford Field in Pittsburgh they shut out the Pirates twice, one to nothing.
And you have really got to have some strong arms to do that for Pittsburgh.
That's exactly what they have.
Jerry Kuzmin in the first game, pitch for three hitters.
Don Cardwell and Todd McGraw pitch a five hitter.
So the Mets throw a double shutout at the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
Identical score of one to nothing.
That's got to be one of the pitching feats of the year.
One of the stronger feats to match that, the Dodgers have back to back shutouts in Crosley Field against Cincinnati.
Maury Wills at the plate and takes the strike.
Maury with a modest hitting streak of 11 straight.
Maury hitting left handed, batting 279, takes the strike.
0-2 Al Santorini, one of the fine young pitchers in the league.
And boy there are a lot of young pitchers.
Goodwin.
Clay Kirby, pitch for Dandy the other night in Cincinnati.
Here's the strike two pitch on the way.
Outside ball one, one and two.
Dodgers know all about Gary Ross, they saw him in this series.
One and two to count to Maury Wills.
A series of one nine of 15, five out of six here.
Of course they were tripped in San Diego.
Here's the one two pitch on the way.
Breaking ball, hit the left field, 12 straight games for Maury Wills.
That'll bring up Manny Moda.
Who has been having his problems with his elbow and it is therefore reflected in his batting average.
Still hitting 326.
Wally Moon is now moving Jerry Morales more towards right center than left center.
And Moda now at the plate.
Santorini looks over at Wills, checks and delivers and a pitch inside.
Moda trying to get around the front, had to get out of there and to count one ball and no strikes.
Wills takes his lead, Santorini checks him as he bluffs and doesn't go.
The pitch to Moda, breaking ball for a strike and a count one and one.
Wills has stolen 39 bases.
He's been caught 14 times.
That's the start of the ball game, bottom of the first inning, but they're all big from here on in.
Santorini ready to pitch to Moda, bowed away with a full swing in the count one and two.
Dodgers here over the weekend with San Diego, then Monday night, Cincinnati.
Tuesday night, a twilight night double header with the Reds.
Wednesday and Thursday night with the Atlanta Braves.
Turn two to Manny Moda.
Santorini decides you better drive Wills back to the bag.
Wills, who very likely would be a spearhead attack for the Dodgers in the month of September,
he has always played exceptional ball in September.
Santorini has a look at him and there he goes.
Moda hits a slow ground ball to Nate Solbers and the first baseman goes to the bag,
and Wills advances to second base.
Here's Willie Davis.
Willie Davis was pretty well stopped in the ballpark in which he figured to be successful.
Here's Houston.
Cincinnati up at Candlestick Park, we'll watch that game carefully.
Arrigo and Marichal.
Willie rolls one slowly up on first base.
Santorini throws him out and Wills takes third.
Arrigo and Juan Marichal at Candlestick and the Reds fail to score in the first inning.
That'll bring up Wes Parker.
Wes Parker has been fighting a slump.
In fact, he really went into the slump when the Dodgers left home and went to San Diego.
We're hoping now that back home he'll shake loose and he fouls the first one back.
Oh and one.
Kasey joined us a little late.
Morrie Wills strangled and two outs later he's at third base.
Santorini checking with Cannigel.
Kelly right near the bag is third.
Strike one pitch to Parker.
Ground ball wide at first.
Solbered up with it, feeds to Santorini and that's it.
No runs, one hit.
One man left and at the end of one, no score.
When a ballplayer spends more time than usual in the minor leagues, you often hear the expression,
well they're bringing him along slowly.
Well Farmer John brings his hands along slowly too.
When he smokes his hands he just won't be hurried.
No indeed.
He smokes them slowly and patiently, not just for a couple of hours, but for several days.
And he does the smoking a secret, old-time Western way over needed Western woods.
Still there's a genuine flavor of the West in every sweet succulent slice, slice after slice.
Farmer John ham is as fresh as you can buy too.
It's made from Frank Eastern corn-fed pork,
grown out here live and dressed fresh right here in the West.
Most other packers ship their pork in frozen or cold storage.
Go get a Farmer John ham soon and if you can't tell which of the hams in the meat department are from Farmer John,
ask the butchers.
Farmer John ham, gold medal winner at the California State Fair.
It's the Eastern most in quality and the Western most in flavor.
Through the second inning here at Dodger Stadium, no score in the ballgame, the Padres and the Dodgers.
Checking the scores of other ballgames, Montreal shut out Philadelphia 4 to nothing.
The New York Mets have now won nine in a row,
sweeping a double header from the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh, each game the score 1 to nothing.
Meanwhile, the Cubs are leading 5 to 1 in the bottom of the ninth at St. Louis,
but they figure to lose at least a half a game anyway.
Atlanta beat Houston 4 to 3.
It is 4 to 1, Seattle leading California at the end of 8 in the first game.
Minnesota beat Kansas City 3-0, Oakland over Chicago 12-4,
Baltimore beat Cleveland 2-1, Washington over Detroit 4-3,
and Boston and New York split a double header.
The first pitch inside, ball one, to first baseman Nate Coburn.
Now the 1-0 pitch on the way, hit to the hole, it's short, backhanded by Wills, a long throw,
and it will get him. Oh, what a play.
Roy Wills, who has always played sensational ball in the month of September,
even way back in his rookie year with the Dodgers, 1959,
he was the spearhead in the attack that gave the Dodgers the exciting playoff victory,
pennant, and championship, year 345.
So Wills, playing great ball, throws out Coburn,
and the batter is Van Kelly, who takes outside, ball one.
In the next double header, it should be pointed out Jerry Kruseman
drove his only run of the year to win the first game 1-0.
Don Cardwell, who is a good hitting pitcher, drove in the only run in the night cap,
so the pitchers did it both ways, and the Mets swept the double header
by the identical scores of 1-0.
Now the 2-0 pitch on the way to Van Kelly, high ball 3, 3-0.
By the way, to all of our Jewish friends who might be listening,
a very blessed and sacred Rosh Hashanah to you,
the high holidays begin today, it's terminated on Yom Kippur.
The pitch high to Kelly, ball 4, so our best wishes to all of you.
There's the walk to Kelly and the batter, Jerry Morales, the center fielder.
The outfielder, Fulio Morales.
Fulio, our player is calling Jerry, hitting 2-31.
He has one home run he hit at the other night in Cincinnati, right hand batter.
The Dodgers saw him briefly in San Diego.
He was used as a pinch runner for Al Ferraro and finished up a couple of games,
but Nate Colbert has made out Kelly Walsh, and now here is Morales.
In the outfield, Olly Brown has had a sore back, but he's okay.
Clarence Gaston has a bad foot, and Morales is playing in center tonight.
Willie Mays hit into a double play in the first inning, so the Giants failed his score,
and at the end they won a candlestick, no score.
Meanwhile, the Cubs beat the Cardinals 5-1, but they still lose a half a game
since the Mets swept the double header.
The Dodgers, Morales, Bunch foul up along first.
The total for the Cubs, five runs, nine hits.
The Cardinals, one run, seven hits.
Bill Hands won his 17th.
Chuck Taylor lost it.
0-1, the count to Jerry Morales.
Chris Canagero on deck.
Sudeikerson on the grass at third.
Singer looks to first, works Morales tight, and the count, one ball, one fight.
1-1, the count to Morales.
Right hand hitting center fielded.
Singer throws to first base, not in time.
Morales scores a second inning just to start of the ballgames.
1-1 pitch on the way.
Morales drives it to deep right center field.
It's looking away from Gayless, and it's going to go against the wall.
Willie plays the count.
Here's Kelly on his way around third.
The throw to Haller is over his head.
It goes all the way to the backstop.
To third base goes Morales, and San Diego leads 1-0.
Good size for a made a long throw and failed it high over Tommy Haller's head.
An accurate throw might have had him.
At least it would have been a close play.
But neither Haller nor the backup man, Singer, could even touch the ball as it hit the backstop screen.
Sizemore will get an error allowing Morales to go to third.
So San Diego leads 1-0.
The batter will be Chris Cannesel.
The infield is up with one out.
The squeeze is on.
The bunch is right through.
Singer picked up by Will to throw to first.
It's Sizemore for the out, but the run is over.
So they squeeze it right by the charging Singer, and the play goes 6-4.
So Cannesel on the sacrifice gets Morales home, and it is 2-0.
And a run batted in for Cannesel.
Singer hoped to charge and pushed the ball to Haller, but he never came close to the ball.
But alertly, Wills was able to go behind the mound to throw out Cannesel.
But Cannesel squeezed in a run against the Dodgers in San Diego, and he comes right back to do it again.
A little surprise that he was able to do it on the first pitch.
So the batter is Al Santorini, and he takes low, ball one.
2-0 San Diego in the second inning.
Singer ready and delivers.
Fastball for a strike, one and one.
Now there's one-one pitch on the way.
Fastball over, strike two, one and two.
Two runs.
On a walk, a double, a throwing error, and a squeeze.
The one-two pitch to Santorini filed away with a full swing or first base upstairs.
Still one and two.
Santorini hits another foul out of play off to the right.
Remains one ball and two strikes.
That error by Ted Sizemore was a bit of a jolt to the Dodger defense because the defense is held up.
They have made only two errors in their last ten games.
Here's a one-two pitch, breaking ball high.
The Dodgers ranked second in the league, fewest errors, back of Atlanta.
The Dodgers have gotten fine defense, good pitching, and they have stopped hitting.
It's as simple as that.
Here's a one-two pitch to Al Santorini.
Fastball inside, ball two.
Santorini has seven hits this year, including one home run and two runs batted in.
Two-two pitch, out swings and misses, that's that.
That, however, means two runs for San Diego.
Two runs, one hit, one error.
At the end of an inning and a half for Padres, two in the Dodgers nothing.

Bottom of the second inning, San Diego leading the Dodgers 2-0.
Dodgers will have Willie Crawford, Bill Todaker, and Tom Hallers.
The Reds went out in order in the second inning of the Candles search for the scoreless there in the bottom of the second inning.
Jerry Urizo and Warren Marischoff.
Here's Willie Crawford.
Willie hitting 252, his nine home runs, 37 runs batted in.
Al Santorini ready in the first one, a strike in at the knees edge of the corner.
All-in-one.
No balls, one strike to Willie Crawford.
Santorini comes right back and a breaking ball is flung on and this strike two.
Al Santorini, when you are in Atlanta as the Dodgers were recently, and you mention the name Santorini, all they do is shake your head.
He's the boy that the bad arm operated on.
They never expected him to be drafted.
Strike two pitch, hit on the hands, a one-hopper to short, backhanded by Pena who throws Crawford out.
Bill Todaker's coming up.
Todaker hitting 235 with 14 home runs, 53 runs batted in.
The Dodgers have not been able to score more than two runs since their last home game when they folded out against the Mets in the ninth inning and won the game five to four.
Santorini delivers and the first one low and inside.
Todaker started his playing in the hells.
The bad raise her field and the plate umpire checks and now it's a strike.
The umpire looks to the third base umpire, Davidson, who flashed a sign that Todaker had committed himself.
Santorini into the windup and the strike one pitch on the way.
He's hitting the dirt right through the legs at counter zero to the backstop.
One and one, the Bills to Dodaker.
He's got the shoulder for a strike in the count one and two.
Santorini checking with counter zero.
One two pitch, he's hit off the hands, rolled down to second base.
Ikeya drops the ball as Pena falls down in front of him to give him a throwing area.
Ikeya went across the bag and then realized he was in the way of the throw so he just fell down.
But Ikeya was unable to come up with the ball.
It was low as the base hit for Todaker and Nevada will be Tom Haller.
Let's pause the station identification.

Here's Tom Haller.
Right hander Santorini delivers outside for one.
Haller hitting 263.
He has five home runs, 35 runs batted in.
Nate Colbert not holding Todaker.
They don't expect Bill to do any base running right now.
Switch to Haller's low ball two, 2-0.
For the Dodgers, game number 134, home game number 68.
Here's the 2-0 pitch on the way, swung on and missed, 2-1.
In fact, that can't be right.
It's game number 142, the pitch inside to Tommy Haller, ball three.
3-1.
3-1 pitch to Haller filed away.
Full count to Tom Haller, head size more on deck.
Right hander Santorini ready, there goes Todaker and the pitch is slowly to the left of the mound.
Santorini will throw Haller out and holding his second base, Todaker.
So the Dodgers kind of nubbing the ball so far against Santorini and the batter will be Ted Seismore.
Ted Seismore has been playing great ball at second base.
He has hit safely in 23 of his last 30 games for a 371 average during that period.
Size more is average over all 274.
Two down, Todaker's at second base, San Diego two and the Dodgers nothing.
You're in the bottom of the second inning.
Santorini's first pick, a heartbreaking ball, low and away, ball one.
Bill Singer on deck.
Size more waiting, Santorini has a look and back he comes 1-0 and it's a ground ball to Troy.
Taney on his right knee to make sure it doesn't go through, throws him out.
So the Dodgers hitting ground balls and they leave a man.
And at the end of two, San Diego two and the Dodgers nothing.

The total through two San Diego two runs, two hits, no errors.
The Dodgers no runs, two hits and an error.
In the second inning with one out Van Kelly Ward, Jerry Morales doubled him home.
The throw by Sizemore as the relay man was high over the plate to the screen,
allowing Morales to go to third and then Canadero squeezed him over.
So it's two to nothing San Diego.
We go to the third, so well play by play.
Here's Jerry Dodgers.
All right, buddy, top of the order now for San Diego.
Arcia, Pena, and Brown coming on against Bill Singer.
They're 18 and nine on the air, one and one with San Diego this season.
So Bill finds himself two runs down now.
The walk got him in trouble.
Then he yielded the long double to Morales.
Here's Arcia up now.
He grounded out second to first his first time at bat.
Right-hand batter waiting.
And Singer now goes into the windup and his pitch on the way.
Curve ball is a little low, ball one.
One of those accounts.
Claude Osteen last night got his seventh shot out of the air.
That's the tops on the staff.
Sutton has four.
Singer has two.
And oddly enough, Singer has only two, but he has a great earned run average.
He has an earned run average of 1.94.
So he just pitched a whole lot of games in which he's just allowed a run or two.
Foul ball out of play to the right.
One and one, but they shut out to keep avoiding Bill.
Here's the one-one pitch to Arcia.
Strike two on a fastball.
One ball, two strikes.
The Dodgers three with the Padres.
Three with Cincinnati, including a doubleheader, Cousy, and then two with Atlanta.
The windup is home stand next Thursday night.
One ball, two strike counts.
Singer ready, delivers.
Curve ball bounced to third.
Today to scoop it up.
Here's the throw in time and one away.
Arcia grounds out.
One up and one down.
And here's Singer.
Fly to right his first time at bat.
Pena batting 240 with four home runs and 26 runs batted in.
Stocky built right-hand batter.
Roberto Pena.
A swing and a miss to Roberto.
Strike one.
He's played 125 games.
Olly Brown leads the Padres in games played with 133.
Ferraros played at 125.
Here's the 0-1 pitch.
Low and inside with a fastball.
The count goes to one and one.
One ball, one strike.
The Mets won a doubleheader.
They've now won nine straight.
Picked up another half game on the Cubs.
The Snaps an eighth game losing streak.
Beating the Cardinals five to one.
One ball and one strike to count on the Giants to pick up a run at Candlestick.
And we'll give it to you in just a moment.
A bouncy ball back to the middle in the center field at the base.
It's Pena.
And that is tip number three for San Diego.
Willie McKevie grounded out.
Bobby Barnes stuck out.
Davenport walks.
Wild pitch moves Davenport to second base.
They walk Dick Deech.
And Ramirez singles the left field to drive in the run.
For the Giants lead on one run, one hit, no errors, and the big play was a wild pitch.
That set up the runner in scoring position and then Lanier drove it in.
Olly Brown takes inside.
Ball one, one ball and no strikes.
For the Giants at Candlestick now lead one to nothing over the Reds who started tonight's play one percentage point ahead of Atlanta and the Braves won from Houston four to three.
One ball and no strikes.
Here's the pitch on the way inside for ball two, two balls, no strikes.
In that game at Atlanta, Ron Stone the pitcher hit a home run that turned out to be the game winner.
It came in the seventh inning with a man on it.
It was the fourth run for Atlanta.
And then he had to go out in the eighth inning when Houston came back with three runs.
For tonight the story is hitting pitchers.
Kuzman blank Pittsburgh drove in the run.
Cardwell blank Pittsburgh drove in the run.
Durham beat Houston and drove in two with his first major league home run.
Seattle beat California.
Rennette hit a home run and he was the winning pitcher.
In the Boston New York game, here's a pitch inside to Olly Brown ball free.
Brett was the winning pitcher and Brett hit a home run.
So that's three pickers at home runs tonight and two others got big singles.
That's ball high and tight and Brown is on with the walk and Stinger's in trouble again.
The second walk given up by Stinger.
Al Ferraro coming to bat now.
Pena second base and Brown is at first base.
Stinger has a tender left elbow and that's part of his problem.
Ferraro the batter struck out his first time at bat.
The Padres who scored two in the second now have two on here in the third.
Here's the look and the pitch to Ferraro.
Long fly ball to left field going back for the quarter.
Still going back at the gate.
Makes the catch in front of the full time gate.
Tires it quickly back in and the runners hold on.
Ferraro came close about six feet away from home run and about two feet away from an extra base hit.
Now a long fly to left field and here is Nate Colbert coming up.
The Padres of course won four straights in the Dodgers and San Diego last weekend and went to Houston for two and were clobbered there.
They went to Cincinnati though and beat the Reds two to one and had them on the ropes last night before bowing.
Here's a fly ball to deep right field.
Willie Crawford turns to go back on this one.
That's the track.
Still back and makes the catch for the Yats about three feet from the fence.
The thing is really not fooling them there in the third inning.
But get that of it.
No runs, one hit and there were two left on and the score at the end of two and a half and he's the play.
Padres two and the Dodgers nothing.
Jared Hodge and武eptors with four steals and both the
Don't you hate when you come to the kind of fear?
And then...
More and more people are finding that out about Berge.
That Berge is comfortable and fresh and clean to drink as the soft water and sweet wind.
Berge's got great things.
Every ice-cold time.
Pick up some Berge, a comfortable kind of beer.
Do I hate when you come to the kind of fear?
Now to the last half of the third.
Singer Wills Moda coming on as the Dodgers trail through the Padres and Al Santorini.
Last score of 2-0.
Santorini a 1-2 record.
Beat the Dodgers last Sunday in San Diego.
A loss at San Diego 2-1 on April 29.
Was the losing pitcher 3-1 at San Diego on June 29.
And then was the winning pitcher 4-2 at San Diego.
So he's pitched well every time against the Dodgers.
Here's Singer at bat now.
The wind at by the right hander.
Pick is a little high.
Ball one.
1-0 to count.
The game in the third.
Now the windup and the pitch on the way.
In for a strike to Singer, 1-1.
And at San Francisco, the Giants leading 1-0 through 2 innings of play.
Marshall against the Regal in that one.
Here's the windup and the 1-1 pitch.
Still it's a pop-up on the right side.
Arcee going back on the grass coming in as the right fielder, Brown.
Brown calls, makes the catch.
The Singer out on a pop fly to Olly Brown in shallow right.
One away and the batter will be Maury Will.
Will single a left field to open the game for the Dodgers
and arrived as far as third on two infield outs.
That's the first outfield put out.
And it could have been handled by an infielder.
As Arcee was out there but chased off by Brown.
First fly ball out.
The Dodgers have not been singing it very much against Mr. Santorini here tonight.
I wills waiting.
Kelly at third lays in on the grass.
Here's the pitch to Maury.
Breaking ball is just outside, ball one.
1-0 the count.
The Reds go down in the third inning.
No runs in the hip.
Tommy Helms let off, got a base hit.
But Woodard struck out into a double play
and left retire at the side.
So it's the end of two and a half innings of play.
San Francisco one, Cincinnati nothing.
Two balls, no strikes to Maury.
Will Santorini ready in the pitch.
Takes a strike on a curve, two and one.
Two balls, one strike.
Now again the right hander delivers.
Strike two with a breaking pitch on the outside corner and it's two and two.
Two balls, two strikes.
Will's waiting.
Now the winded pitch by Santorini, chopped away foul behind the plate.
Two balls, two strikes, fill up to Maury.
Turn to Santorini, back to the rousin bag for a moment.
Will's waiting, outfield shift to the left against Maury.
Swung on and foul tipped in the dirt and the plate umpire prior rule that
the count of Zara caught it on the bounce, crisp whirled around to hold the ball up,
but prior said no, it was in the dirt.
Play two, two counts, still up to Will.
Santorini has not struck out a man, has not walked a man, and is allowed two base hits.
Here's the two, two pitch.
Foul away off third base behind the Dodger dugout.
Now two and two.
Once again Santorini to the line up, the pitch to Maury, bounce towards shortstop.
Pina waits for a big hop.
In time and there are two outs.
Two up and two down and Manny Modo the batter grounded out his first time up.
Santorini as he did in San Diego has the Dodgers hitting a lot of ground balls.
It's breaking pitch and it's sinker.
Modo waiting the pitch, bump try fouled away.
One strike to Manny Modo on deck, Willie Davis. Santorini winds delivers, curve up high for ball.
One on the count, now the pitch.
Modo hits a bouncing ball to third, Kelly goes wide to the line up with it,
his throws in time and the Dodgers go down one, two, three.
Another ground ball on the side out, one, two, three in the third inning.
Three up and three down and the score at the end of three, the Padres two and the Dodgers nothing.
Baseball of course is a seasonal game but there's one pastime that goes on all year long.
That's enjoying lean luscious Farmer John Bacon, fried up crackling crisp for breakfast.
It's a mighty popular pastime too because Farmer John Bacon is the West's favorite
and one thing that accounts for its popularity is its very special flavor.
A wonderful wide open space's Western flavor too.
Farmer John, you see, smokes his bacon the slow, patient, all time Western way over native Western wood.
So it has a flavor like no other bacon you can buy.
You can always count on the freshness of Farmer John Bacon too.
It's made from fresh Eastern corn fed pork, brought out here live,
then U.S. inspected and dressed fresh right here in the West.
Most other pork is shipped in frozen or cold storage.
So the next time you shop, bring home the bacon fresh from Farmer John.
It won the gold medal at the California State Fair and you'll agree,
it's the Eastern most in quality and the Western most in flavor.
All right, let's go on to the fourth inning of the ball game.
Padres two, the Dodgers nothing, more action back to the winning.
Oh, on the message board, happy birthday to Diane Brousseau,
the Dodger secretary of Vice President Bill Sweppy of the Dodger family.
Now we go to the fourth inning with the Padres leading the Dodgers
two to nothing, Van Kelly, Jerry Morales, and Chris Cannadero in that order.
Bill Singer down by two, looks in to get a sign,
and the first pitch of the left-handed in Kelly is lifted back a shortstop,
wheels out to get it, coming in his motor, and more he makes the catch going away.
Morales coming up.
He hit the shot up the alley in right center, the catch in Kelly.
He took third on the overthrow and then he was squeezed in by Cannadero.
So Morales has been very important in this ball game
as he comes up for second at bat in the fourth inning.
Singer into the windup, Bill delivers, and the fastball is high and tight,
as high and tight as you can get, and Morales sits down.
So Singer flattened him, one and all the count.
So they have been formally introduced now,
and Singer ready and back he comes, fastball fouled away,
off to the right out of play, and he got one ball and one strike.
When the Dodgers come up in the bottom of the four, they have Davis Parker Crawford.
Singer comes right back to the plate, one-one,
and the breaking ball is down and away, ball two.
Two and one accounts to Morales.
Now the two-one pitch misses ball three.
Three and one.
Morales right-hand batter.
Bill Singer into the windup, and the three-one fastball is over, strike two.
Three and two.
Morales with one out in the fourth inning, and the Padres leading two-nothing.
Singer delivers, and it's Luke to right field, a late start by Crawford,
but he still has time to get there.
A little fly ball caught by Willie Crawford.
Two down in the fourth inning, and Chris Cannadero coming up.
Cannadero squeezed in the run in the second inning.
It's the second time he's done that to the Dodgers.
He did it in the series in San Diego.
So Cannadero, right-hand hitter.
Two out, fourth inning, two-nothing San Diego.
Overhand curve is low, ball one, one and all.
The ball is in the third inning, and the ball is in the fourth inning.
One-oh pitch is strike one and one.
Here's the one-one pitch on the way.
Cannadero takes outside, ball two, two and one.
Cannadero bends at the knees and at the waist.
Two-one pitch, fast ball, over, strike two, two and two.
The 16th meeting of the year between the two clubs.
The Dodgers have won nine of 15, five of six here.
And of course, this is the first game of the three-game series.
Now the two-two pitch on the way.
Fast ball, got him swinging, that'll do it.
So the Padres are gone in the fourth.
At the end of three and a half, Padres two, Dodgers nothing.
Mankind has always looked to Mother Earth as the one positive element
from which all material benefits flow.
He's fought for the land, worked for it, and died for it.
Even today, the private ownership of land is one of the most highly respected rights
in our American system.
The purchase of a home represents for most families the largest single investment
they ever will make.
Yet, the exact nature of a person's right of ownership in a home
and the various rights that others may have in that same home
is a matter frequently misunderstood.
Certainly, a person buying a home for the first time discovers that he's surrounded
by many technicalities and complications that seem very confusing.
Well, that's where the specialist at Arizona titled into the picture.
Their business is thoroughly investigating previous ownership records
to assure you of a clear title.
They want you to buy your home with complete confidence and peace of mind.
The folks at Arizona Title know that the security of your home
should be your first consideration and theirs.
The bottom of the fourth inning, Padres leading the Dodgers two to nothing.
Two runs, three hits for the boys from San Diego.
No runs, two hits and one arrow for the Dodgers.
Now, Santorini has tied them up on ground ball through three.
And he'll be pitching to Willie Davis, Wes Parker and Willie Crawford.
The Giants, meanwhile, leading the Reds one to nothing at the end of three.
Atlanta won. They gave Houston a jolt.
Atlanta beating Houston four to three.
That might have been a very demoralizing game for the Astros.
They are so much the better ball club at home.
And if perhaps in the waning weeks of the pennant race,
if Houston had won their first road game,
maybe they would think that perhaps they would reverse.
But it looks like indeed they will continue to have a poor road record.
They're pitching to Davis high ball one.
The Astros, who had won 50 games at home and only 25 on the road,
lose tonight in Atlanta four to three.
Davis waiting. He hit back to the box in the first inning.
The 1-0 pitch to Willie is fouled away in the count one and one.
Willie hurt his knee sliding into third base last night.
He strained some ligaments. It's sore.
But he feels as long as he can keep moving around, it won't stiffen up.
He also feels with just a couple of weeks left,
there's no sense resting for the senior prom, so he's in there.
One and one to Willie Davis.
Al Santorini ready and delivers.
Breaking ball hit foul off third down the line,
back into the lower deck in the count one and two.
Davis waiting one ball, two strikes.
Al Santorini trying to win his eighth.
Right-hander ready in the one-two pitch.
Fastball outside. He's a Jersey boy out of the Braves organization.
Had a serious arm operation.
They said something like 13 chips were removed from his arm.
Usually after going under the knife, a pitcher loses some speed.
But Santorini still has a good live arm.
Two-two pitch. Curve is fouled back and out of play.
The number one relief man along with Jack Bolton in the right-handed area
in the bullfrog, Frank Rehberger, is not here.
He has to fulfill his military obligation.
There's another young pitcher who figures to be of immeasurable help
to the Padres in the years to come, Frank Rehberger.
Here's the two-two pitch to Davis.
Hit down the left of your line, slashing foul out of play.
Ferrara over to the railing, but that's all. So it's still two-and-two to Willie.
If you didn't hear the scores today, then you didn't hear about the amazing Mets.
They swept a doubleheader in Pittsburgh.
They shot out the Pirates twice.
They beat them one-to-nothing in each game.
And to add insult to injury, the run in each game driven in by the Mets pitcher,
Jerry Kuzmin and Don Cardwell.
Now the pitch to Davis. Fastball, a big chopper to third,
and it is a fair ball, and Kelly throws too late.
What they wanting, there can't be anything very much wrong about Willie Davis' knee,
although he is limping now as he goes to first base.
He went flying down the line, and in trying to get a little something extra,
he might have hit the bag awkwardly.
The boy from home to first base, he really let out.
So Willie Davis, a high chopper to Van Kelly, and he beats it out,
and he is bending that right leg, so he must feel some pain.
So Davis at first, nobody out in West Park of the batter.
He had strained ligaments, and it might have just been that when he went to stretch to hit the bag,
that he felt a twinge of pain.
Here's Parker, 0-4-1. Swings doesn't get it at all.
At first, Willie back in and he's 0-1 to count to West Parker.
West is really in change right now.
His average is at 283, but he hasn't really had much of a game in quite a while.
He had a last home stand, he was fine, but as soon as the Dodgers left him on the road, he hit a slump.
0-1 to count to Parker.
Santorini checking signs, Davis held on by Colbert, and the pitch to Parker swung on and missed.
Another throw, and Willie back in ahead of it. 0-1 to...
Willie very slow to get up. That right knee perhaps hurting him a little more as he had to go back twice head first.
It also might be one reason why he's going back head first, rather than trying foot slide where he'd have to bend the leg.
He takes his lead, Santorini ready. Strike two pitch to Parker, the ground ball to the hole, and through in the right field.
Bad leg or not, Davis will go to third easily, and Brown will run the ball back to the infield.
The ground ball just did get through by Arcia, and it was dying on the grass.
So Olly Brown had to come and get it, and Davis knew there was no play at third.
Danny Ozark talking to Willie, who was rubbing his right knee, and of course that's the knee that he hurt last night.
Let's pause for station identification. This is the Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network.
Taking care of your car is the prime concern of the trained technicians at Ronnie's Auto Service, 101 East Comelback Phoenix,
where you could use your Arizona bank bank-a-barra card.
ATAR Phoenix.
Willie Crawford the batter, run is at first and third, nobody out.
Fourth inning, San Diego 2, the Dodgers nothing, and the Padres bullpen will get busy.
As Santorini delivers, and it's a line drive, they get into center field.
Parker to second base, Davis scores 2-1 San Diego, and Davis limping as he crossed home plate.
Gary Ross gets up in the San Diego full-pen.
Willie Crawford comes up with a third straight hit.
Well, I tell you one thing, it's great to be home near Spirit in the ballpark. Base hits by Davis, Parker, and Crawford for a run.
The Padres leading 2-1, and here is Bill Sudeikis with nobody out.
The question for the Padres to decide now, would Walter Olson have Sudeikis bunt?
Haller on deck.
Nate Colbert figures he's going to bunt. The first baseman is in front of Crawford.
Van Kelly is about even with the bag at third. Nobody out.
Sudeikis swings and a high fly ball to right field.
Bagging Parker, Brown for the catch, and West is not coming on a great arm to throw a cutoff by Pena.
Olly Brown with one of the strongest throwing arms in the league.
And the Dodgers had Sudeikis swing and he flied to right.
All right, Tom Haller the batter.
Haller hit back to the box in the second inning.
Padres to Dodgers one, bottom of the fourth inning. Parker at second, Crawford at first, one away.
Santorini reading Kanazaro's sign.
Pena bird dogging Parker a little bit at shortstop.
Right hand at Santorini's pitch, Haller fouls it to the screen on one.
Oh and one to Tom Haller.
Santorini ready and here he comes and the pitch low and inside. One ball, one strike.
Left hander gets up down in the bullpen to join Gary Ross now.
The Dodgers had Davis out leg a slow roll to the third.
Parker rolled one in the right field. Crawford a line drive base hit for the run.
Dave Roberts the left hander throwing in the pen and the pitch tight to Haller ball two, two and one.
Preston Gomez and his three lieutenants, Parky Anderson, Wally Moon and Roger Craig all up near the San Diego bat rack.
Two one pitch to Haller is low, ball three and Santorini now has to make a couple of big pitches.
Head size more on day.
Three and one to Haller.
Parker at second, Crawford at first so they have speed out there.
The runners do not go, the pitch is high that loads them up.
And Roger Craig, the Padres pitching coach going out to the mound to talk to Santorini.
Craig just crossing the first base foul line.
So Roger will chat with Santorini. We can use the time ourselves. Let's spend some of it and visit with Jerry.
All right Vinnie, here's the last of the two for one dates now available to Dodger fans.
September 30th a night game with the Astros. You get two tickets for the price of one.
Two box seats for $3.50, two reserve seats $2.50.
Order as many as you wish. Clip your special two for one blanks from one of these papers.
The other side press enterprise Van Nuys News or the Ventura Star Free Press.
The date, September 30th, two for the price of one by mail only.
All right Vinnie.
Okay, Jack, head size more is the batter.
Base is loaded, one out, a run over in the fourth inning and the Padres leading the Dodgers two to one.
Parker, Crawford and Haller out on the line.
Size more, grounded is short in the second inning.
Santorini from a stretch and Teddy takes low ball one.
This might have been a suggestion from Roger Craig that it would improve his control.
One ball and no strikes.
Now the 1-0 pitch on the way.
Ted looks low, ball two.
Suddenly Santorini who had pitched three strong innings hits a big bump in the road.
He gives a free consecutive singles for a run, gets it out and then walks a man to load the bases.
He's now behind to size more 2-0.
Santorini's 2-0 pitch on the way.
One hopper to Arcia, he's to Pena, he's to Culver.
Double play as if a coach hit it when the infield takes infield practice.
A one hopper to the second baseman.
Four, six, three, double play and the Dodgers settle for a run on three hits and lead to the end of four.
Padres two, Dodgers one.
Friends, quite a few Southern Californians are driving what they call a second car.
It's usually not as big or as powerful as the family car and therefore doesn't need the high octane of a premium gasoline.
So what do they do when their second car needs to fill up?
Why, that's easy.
They look up to 76 for 76 regular gasoline.
76 regular is everything to low compression engines that Royal 76 Premium is to the high compression jobs.
Which means that your smaller second car will deliver the same A1 all around performance as the larger family car, which takes Royal 76 Premium.
So friends, if you're driving a smaller second car or even a small first car, stop into your Union Oil dealers and fill her up with the best.
76 regular gasoline.
Remember when you're looking for someone to look after you, look up to 76.
Through four innings, the Padres two runs, three hits and no errors.
The Dodgers one run, five hits and one error.
Battle between Bill Singer and Al Santorini.
For the Padres, Santorini will start it off.
He'll be followed by Jose Arcia and then Roberto Pena.
As far as scores of other games are concerned, that other big one going on a candlestick.
The Giants leading Cincinnati 1-0 at the end of four innings.
Jerry Arrigo and Juan Marischal.
We got a report now that Cincinnati failed to score in the fifth inning.
So at the end of four and a half innings, it remains 1-0 San Francisco.
Al Santorini, right hand batter, he struck out in the second inning.
Singer into the windup delivers.
Fastball low and away, ball one.
The Giants playing Cincinnati head to head, trailing the Reds by half a game.
Atlanta already won the 1-0 pitch, fouled right into Haller's mask in the count one and one.
One and one to count to Al Santorini.
Jose Arcia on deck.
Singer into the windup in the 1-1 pitch.
Breaking ball hit right at Sizemore.
One away in the fifth inning, Arcia coming up.
He's rolled out twice to second and third.
Jose over two.
Arcia waiting.
Singer looks in to get a sign from Haller.
Now he's ready and the breaking ball half swing for a strike in the count one and one.
Padres scored twice in the second inning.
Morales doubled home Kelly and then Canazaro squeezed in Morales.
The Dodgers had three hits for a run in the fourth inning and we're now in the fifth.
On one and one to count, Singer delivers fastball over strike two.
Now there's strike two pitch on the way outside, ball one, one and two.
Arcia then fouls the next one away and it's still one and two.
One and two to count to Jose Arcia.
He still has to play with one out in the fifth.
Padres two, Dodgers one.
One and two to count to Arcia.
Singer into the windup, Bill ready in the fastball high and away.
Ball two, two and two.
They're in the bottom of the fifth with candlestick one to nothing in favor of the Giants.
Singer ready in the two, two pitch.
Arcia swings and misses strike three.
So Jose down on strike, two out and Roberto Pena, the right hand hitting shortstop coming up,
lied to right and single to center, one for two.
Pena waiting.
Singer into the windup and delivers breaking ball, foul back out of play into the second deck just to the right of home plate.
Oh and one.
On deck, Ollie Brown.
Singer ready, strike one pitch, fastball high and inside, one ball and one strike.
Padres two in the second inning, Dodgers one in the fourth and here we are in the fifth.
Two to one San Diego.
Here's the one, one pitch on the way.
Fastball just outside, ball two, two and one.
Singer into the windup, now the two, one pitch to Pena, fastball over, strike two.
So gesturing as if he thought the pitch was outside, two and two the count.
Singer reading Haller, now Bill Ruddy in the two, two pitch to Pena, breaking ball popped in the air off to the right of the plate.
Parker and Haller converge, Parker has the play, makes the catch and that's that.
Well they're gone in order in the fifth and at the end of four and a half, Padres two, Dodgers one.
You know we get mail from folks who tell us that when they can't get out to watch the Dodgers in action, they enjoy listening to our play by play account of the game, Jerry.
Well of course the pleasure's ours, Vinnie, which brings to mind an important point we ought to make about Burgermeister beer.
Oh what's that, Jeff?
Well we tell our listeners a lot about what makes Berge the great beer it is, that it's soft water brewed to give it real beer taste.
Hmm, true enough, and that Berge is the comfortable beer, the one that refreshes you right from the start and keeps on refreshing you, glass after ice cold comfortable glass.
Well also true.
So what are you getting at?
Just this, listening to a ball game isn't the same as seeing it in person, just as hearing about Berge can't compare with tasting its ice cold comfortable goodness.
Ah, point well made I'd say, Jeff.
So folks you don't have to take our word for it, the proof is in the tasting, just bring home an ice cold six pack or two and get the whole comfortable story from Berge.
Bottom of the fifth inning with the Padres leading the Dodgers 2-1, two runs three hits, no errors for San Diego, one run five hits and one error for the Dodgers.
Bill Singer, Maury Wills and Manny Moda in that order.
Now the Candlestick report the Giants failed to score, so at the end of five up there it's one nothing San Francisco.
Alright here's Singer, Santorini's first one on the outside going up for a strike, going one.
Al Santorini, one and two of the Dodgers this year, works one down and away and misses, one ball one strike.
Maury Wills on deck, now the one one pitch on the way, swung on and missed, strike two.
Danny Ozark coaching at third, Jim Gilliam at first.
Here's the one two pitch on the way, fastball high and outside, ball two, two and two.
Santorini's two two pitch to Singer, swung on and missed, strike three.
So down goes Bill, opening up matters in the fifth inning.
For Santorini his first strikeout and the batter Maury Wills.
Wills is one for two.
Wills, single to left field in the first inning, got around as far as third with two outs but stayed there.
Maury hitting left handed against Santorini and the pitch to him low for one.
Van Kelly plays him on the edge of the grass, Colbert is up a step and he outfields, shades in the left.
Santorini's one oh pitch on the way, line drive, face it and a left field.
So Wills is two for three, Roberto Pena came very close to backhanding that ball, just did miss it.
So Wills aboard with one out and Manny Moter the batter.
Played on fire, Pryor wants to examine the ball, has a good look at it and Paul will put a new one in play.
Padres two, Dodgers one, bottom of the fifth, one out and Wills at first.
Santorini checks him, works Moter a strike, going on.
Santorini's set at the belt, another look over at Wills and he decides you better drive him back with a throw to Colbert.
Counter zero, flashing signs out behind the plate, outfield playing Moter straight away if anything shaded to right.
Pitch to Manny, curve down and away, one ball one strike.
Padres two, Dodgers one, bottom of the fifth inning, first game of the three game series.
They're after each other tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon.
Now the one one pitch, Moter takes in the dirt, a nice save by counter zero, that thing was heading for the backstop, ball two, two and one.
Willie Davis on deck, Wills held on by Colbert, takes his lead.
Moter waiting and the two one pitch, Wills goes, it's a high bouncer back to Santorini, the out at first as Wills moves into second base.
So the Dodgers play hit and run and Moter taps to the mound, two down, a tying run at second base and Willie Davis coming up.
Santorini has handled three balls back to the box, he's also had one put out on a ground ball to the first baseman.
He's been pretty busy, the Dodgers basically beating the ball down into the ground.
Only fly ball was hit by Sudeikis in the fourth inning.
Willie takes low, ball one, counter zero, knocking the ball down.
One ball, no strikes to Willie Davis.
Santorini again straightens up, looks at second and the one oh pitch, change, poke foul up along third.
Willie tried to drive that thing into left field but he didn't get enough of it and just rolled it outside at third.
One and one.
One and one to count.
One and one to count to Willie Davis.
Santorini delivers, line drive to right, it's going to sink for a hit.
Here comes Will, that great armor brown, throws very high, the run is in.
Will tripped and rolled over home plate to tie it up.
So Willie Davis, the line single to right, to tie it up and Willie takes second on the throw to the plate.
Will started his slide and he's fortunate he didn't get hurt.
He made an awkward slide, seemed to bounce and roll over home plate.
So now here is Parker trying to pick up Willie Davis.
Cincinnati field a score in the sixth.
But still one to nothing in favor of the Giants at the end of five and a half.
Parker now at the plate, Santorini delivers the strike.
On one to count to Parker, Santorini looks at Davis, works to west, breaking ball a little high, one and one.
So the Dodgers and Padres are all even at two apiece here in the bottom of the fifth inning.
As Will singles and a two out single to right by Willie Davis picks him up.
Santorini's one, one pitch.
A high chopper over the mountain, he backs up, spears it on a bad hop and throws him out.
A nice play by the shortstop.
That wasn't a very easy play to make.
One run, two hits, one left.
And at the end of five, Dodgers two, Padres two.
You know most people would agree that the key man in baseball is the pitcher.
And you know in the wiener making business it's the man in charge of grinding, mixing and spicing the meat.

Don't be shy, step up and ask for Barma John.
Through five, a 2-2 tie.
The Boudre's two runs three hits no errors and the Dodgers two runs seven hits and one error.
Our centennial celebrity tonight can claim a one thousand batting average in the World Series.
As a member of the Boston Red Sox in 46 he's single twice in pinch hitting roles against the St. Louis Cardinals.
At one time our celebrity had 11 consecutive hits with the Coast League Angels in 1938.
He piled up 216 hits that year.
He had the most hits of anyone in the big leagues or the minors.
He was named to the Coast League All-Star team four times each time at a different position.
We're talking about Glenn David Rip Russell and the Ripper comes out on deck now and receives the quarter to the crowd.
We're delighted to have him here with us tonight. Rip Russell a fine ball player.
So the Ripper has taken his bow. Red Adams comes over to say hello to him.
And Ollie Brown now at the plate to say hello to Singer in the pitch high ball one.
Want to know the count Ollie is singled and walked one for one singer delivers fastball for a strike one and one.
Ollie Brown has an arm like Clemente or A.G.
You just get a thrill out of watching him throw before he can fire.
Here's the 1 1 pitch on the way fastball low ball to the zone one.
Now the 2 1 pitch on the way hit on the hands and popped up.
Parker comes in from first base on the grass waiting and makes the catch.
Ollie Brown pops up one away and Al Ferraro will be the batter.
The end of five and a half at Candlestick the Giants are leading one to nothing.
Mets one a double header. The Cubs won. Atlanta won.
So Houston gets hurt tonight and we'll find out about the Dodgers.
The pitch to Al Ferraro low ball one. Ferraro in the third inning came up with one out and run as it first and second and sent Manny Motta just about to the bullpen gate in left field for his long out.
But out it was the one 0 pitch down a high fly ball the left center.
Willie Davis jogging in is under it now and makes the catch.
Singer has settled down. He has retired 10 in a row since he walked Ollie Brown in the third inning.
Nate Coburn right hand hitting first baseman rolled a short and fly to right he's 0 for 2.
Singer into the wind up and delivers fastball low ball one 1 and 0.
The next pitch missed ball to 2 and 0.
Now singer into the wind up the 2 0 pitch outside ball 3.
3 and 0 the counter first baseman Nate Coburn. Singers fastball a strike 3 and 1. Coburn has sock you have to be careful of him.
Nate has 18 home runs 52 RBI.
Now the 3 1 pitch he drives it to left field and deep back those motor to the base of the wall it's gone.
Nate Coburn who has the sock socked it line drive into the left field bleachers and the Padres lead 3 to 2.
For Coburn his 19th home run of the year his 50 third run batted in and Nevada will be Van Kelly the third baseman.
That's only the fourth hit allowed by Singer but the Padres getting the maximum out of four hits they have three runs.
Pitch to Kelly a strike 0 and 1 to Van Singer comes back to him and Kelly has to pull away one ball one strike.
The next one is inside the Padres have now hit 10 home runs against the Dodgers this year.
It's the third home run that Nate Coburn has hit against the Dodgers.
Now the 2 1 pitch to Van Kelly bow back to him to Bill Singer has been haunted by the home run ball all year.
And that one turns out to be the 21st home run that he's allowed.
2 2 pitch to Van Kelly is a ground ball to Sizemore up with it at the belt buckle and throws him out a run on a hit a home run by Coburn at the end of five and a half Padres three Dodgers.

Bottom of the sixth inning and Willie Carver is jammed and pops one in the shallow center.
The
Carver pops up one away and Bill Sudeikis will be the batter.
Giants failed to score in the bottom of the sixth inning.
For big reasons Willie Mays hit into another double plays hit into two.
So the end of six at Candlestick it is one to nothing San Francisco.
That's a tough one Jerry Arrigo pitching his best game of the year so far.
But one Marshall out pitching him.
Here's Sudeikis with runners at first and second and nobody out on the fourth inning.
They let Sudeikis swing and he flied to deep right.
He looks at a slow curve low ball one on deck Tom Haller Ray Lamb throwing in the Dodger bullpen.
Sudeikis waiting Santorini into the wind up and delivers fastball away ball to 2 and 0.
The Dodgers have not scored more than two runs since the last home game they played and here they are hung on to right now and that's not enough.
They're trailing three to two in the bottom of the sixth.
Sudeikis into the wind up and delivers and there's a line drive down the right field line it's in there for a base hit hits the railing of the box.
And rolls away that gets Sudeikis a triple.
He's on his way for three and he's got it standing.
And Sudeikis Brown charged that ball right at the railing of the back seat and that was not a very good play to make when you're leading by a run.
So he gambled and when the gamble failed he gave Sudeikis an additional base at best he should have had a double.
But the ball hit the box he's railing and then hugged it and rolled all the way beyond and past the gate.
And by the time Ali ran it down today because had a triple.
So a one out triple by Sudeikis and they'll go to the bullpen.
Gary Ross will be brought in the pitch to Tommy Howard Santorini has to come out.
He can't lose. He could win or have nothing to do with the game.
So Al Santorini comes out in favor of Gary Ross.
One out six innings the Padres three runs for his the Dodgers two runs eight hits and one error.
They have a lot of time a lot of scores and some other information.
Let's spend it with Jerry.
All right. But a three more portrait date to Dodger Stadium complete your collection of these great Nicholas Volpe portraits of your Dodgers.
A free portrait of Bill Sudeikis to all attend the September 15th game with the Reds.
A free portrait of Don Drysdale for all who attend his day Saturday afternoon September 27th.
And a free portrait of Claude Osteen to all fans of the game on September 30th.
If you'd like to participate in some way and Don Drysdale day contact the chairman of the event Jack Gilardi creative management associates in Beverly Hill.
Remember the date. Let's make it a big one.
One that Big D will never forget Saturday September the 27th the Dodgers and the Giants.
A great day there in the seventh inning at Candlestick Park and the Giants lead the Reds one to nothing.
Other finals Atlanta beat Houston four to three.
The Cubs snapped an eight game losing streak and beat the Cardinals five to one.
The amazing that's one a double header from the Pirates one to nothing one to nothing and Montreal beat Philadelphia four to nothing.
American League finals Minnesota beat Kansas City three to nothing.
Oakland over Chicago 12 to four Baltimore beat Cleveland two to one.
Washington beat Detroit four to three.
Yankees five to three over Boston in the first game Boston the second game four to three.
Seattle beat the Angels four to one in the first game no score second inning of the second game.
I were about to go back to playing here.
The Dodgers know all about Gary Ross.
He's the boy who picked up in the first game in San Diego and Dick Kelly came up with a sore left shoulder.
Ross came in and just threw BBs and pitched a great game to win it.
Gary's record is only three and eleven but he might very well be head and head without Santorini and Clay Kirby.
Those three hopped right arms on the San Diego squad.
A fine pitcher.
So Ross who throws hard will be pitching to Haller with one out and Sudeikis the third.
He comes from a stretch and the fastball is outside ball one.
Gary Ross wears glasses.
Three to San Diego Sudeikis the third one away the one oh pitch to Haller outside ball two.
Time out now while fire cleans off home plate.
Two balls and no strikes to Tommy Haller trying to pick up Sudeikis.
Sudeikis coming up with his fifth triple of the year.
Ross at the belt and the two oh pitch swung on and missed two and one.
Time back up to the plate two and one to count.
Ross ready and the pitch to Haller outside ball three.
Three and one.
Dodgers were retired in order only in the third inning.
They've had a man on in every inning but the third.
But they're trailing three two in the sixth.
Ross making his three one pitch.
Haller takes ball four.
Ted Sizemore is over two.
He grounded out in the second inning and then with the bases loaded banged into a double play in the fourth.
So Ted Sizemore with Haller at first Sudeikis at third one out in the sixth inning and the Padres leading three two.
At the end of sixth at Candlestick the Giants and Juan Marichal one the Reds and Jerry Arrigo nothing.
Marichal trying to win his 18th.
Gary Ross hands on his knees straightens up now after picking up a sign the pitch to Sizemore low ball one.
Al Santorini went five and a third.
Gary Ross picking up for him here.
Now the one oh pitch Sizemore looks it's low again ball two.
Roger Craig gestures to Kanagera go out to him and the catcher walked out to the mound.
The Reds in the seventh inning failed to score.
So at the end of six and a half innings at Candlestick the Giants still holding on to a one to nothing lead.
Two and 0 to Ted Sizemore.
Three to San Diego bottom of the sixth one away.
Ross at the belt checks delivers and is a ground ball up the middle.
Kanagera can't get it.
The run is over Haller will stop a second and they're all even at three a piece.
The ball was not hit that hard.
Sizemore was just able to roll it through Pena who was getting him towards the hole.
Glad to come back to get it but couldn't do it.
And the ball died out on the grass and Morales hustled in to keep Haller at second base.
That means Santorini has nothing to do with the game.
So Dakas is scored belongs to Santorini and now Ross is on his own.
3-3 in the sixth Bill Singer called away for a moment and Walter Alston talking to him.
The immediate thought of course is well Singer's going to bunt.
However Alston talking with him so it's more than just a bunt.
He might even have Bill take a swipe at one.
We'll see.
Jack Walsh in the right hander.
Dave Roberts the left hander throwing in the San Diego bullpen.
And here's Singer choking on the bat.
Colbert in on the grass at first.
Kelly near the bag at third.
Ross set.
Singer to bunt and does.
Colbert bare hands it.
It throws to third for one and that's all.
So they get the fourth play easily from Nate Colbert to Van Kelly 3-5.
Sizemore at second and with two out the battle will be more will.
Will.
3-3 tie with two out on the sixth inning.
Will.
Will scored what was then the tying run in the fifth inning.
He's 2 for 3.
Now Morey trying to pick somebody up.
Will says it safely in 12 straight.
He has had two or more hits in nine of those 12 games.
Ross ready.
Checking delivers and it's low and I'd say by count of zero.
3-3 tie bottom of the sixth Dodgers three runs nine hits one error.
The foundry three runs four hits and nowhere.
One home run net by Nate Colbert.
Dodgers have had a triple by Bill Sudeikis.
The one 0 pitch to wills outside ball to.
To and all the count of more he will.
Ross checking the outfield around the left on will.
They don't figure into full law.
The two 0 pitch taken for a strike.
Do and one.
Will has played in 87 games as a Dodger in 38 of those games.
He's had two or more hits.
Now the two one said he has two hits tonight.
They've got to do it.
I just get a run on to hit them leave to and at the end of six.
Hey Dick Landy who do you look up to when you're going for those low street
eliminator E.T.s. I look up to the Christmas tree when my timing is right off
the line I figure I'll get the drop on anybody in the other lane.
Hey Dick Landy who do you look up to for a gasoline for your passenger car.
I look up to 76.
Royal 76 premium is exactly the same powerful gasoline I used for racing.
Look up to 76 for Royal 76 premium when you're looking for high performance in
your own car.
Union 76 has won more races in the West than any other brand.
Shouldn't Royal 76 premium be your brand.
There are six innings here at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers three runs nine hits and one error.
The Padres three runs four hits and no errors.
It's Bill Singer and Gary Ross battling it out.
Don't forget they're after each other tomorrow night and again Sunday
afternoon.
The Reds will be here Monday night for a single game for a twilight night
doubleheader on Tuesday and then the Braves to finish it off Wednesday and
Thursday night.
So we'll be looking forward to seeing you out here at Dodger Stadium.
Let's get to the seventh all even a three a piece and for more play here's
Jerry.
All right Billy and Jerry Morales will be the batter.
He hit a double to drive in a run and scored a run in the second inning.
Right hand hitter waiting and fingers pitch to him as a curve for strike on
the inside corner.
Oh and one Morales backed away a little bit.
He went down his last time up on a fastball Morales kind of down and Ross
here in the seventh thing already in the pitch fastball is blown away ball
one one and one.
The Dodgers one at a time in the fourth fifth and sixth the Padres two in the
second and one in the sixth inning.
That one a home run by Cobra curve low for ball two and one now two balls of
the strike tomorrow out of batting seventh in the order.
Bill Singer into the wind up now on the pitch on the way to him a swing in the
middle of the hard and strike to two and two as the count.
The Dodgers have beaten San Diego five out of six here but in San Diego they
have lost five of the nine plays there.
The Giants go out in order in the seventh inning so that ballgame rolling
along at Candlestick pitchers just outside ball three.
Singer thought he had him struck out.
They've got a real deal going in Candlestick as a swing and a strike
free morale down on strikes and for a player strike out number five.
The game at Candlestick now is in the eighth inning a rego against Marisol one
to nothing.
The Giants scored a run in the second inning and Lanier drove it in a walk a
wild pitch an intentional walk and a single by Lanier got the run.
The Giants stand one to nothing.
The Mets want a double header from the Pirates one to nothing and one to
nothing.
Atlanta beat Houston four to three.
We've got a lot of one run games going.
There's a curve strike to Canada 0 and 1 a squeeze but by Chris in the second
inning got in the second run for the Padres.
There have been some lopsided games in this series with the Dodgers and the
Padres but there have also been some very close ballgame.
Now the wind up in the pitch on the way to Canada 0 popped up on the first
base line coming in for it is going across the line now about territory
Parker and West makes the catch.
So Canada 0 fouls out the Parker down the first base line to a way and here's
Jerry Ross the pitcher coming up Ross at bat for his first time.
Well Santorini worked five and a third in field at three runs and eight hits
and Al pitch well he gave way to Ross in the sixth inning and now Ross is the
batter right hander waiting Ross wearing number 33 the wind up in the pitch on
the way.
Hold on and let's strike one a fastball 0 and 1 the count.
Now the pitch swung on a strike to 0 and 2 in the game of San Francisco.
A regal has allowed two hits and trails one to nothing and I think that
Marisels allowed this one.
That's right.
So that's that's quite a game going there.
Ross takes low ball one strike to Gary Ross.
So the Reds and the Giants meeting head on while the Dodgers play San Diego and
Houston is playing in Atlanta and that game is over.
Atlanta wanted four to three Ron Stone the winner hit a home run to win it.
Bow back to the wire still wanted to win stone hit his home run.
It didn't look like the winning run came in the seventh inning with one on and
made the score four to nothing.
But Houston then came back in the eighth inning and scored three times.
Here's the one to pitch down the way to Ross.
Thank three.
Stuck him out.
And we'll go along to the bottom of the seventh in a few moments to score at the
end of six and a half Dodgers three the Padres three.
You know friends when you think back some of the things you used to do seem
like more fun than the things you do now like dating when you both only had
enough money for a hamburger and maybe a walk in the park.
Remember the beer you used to drink seems like it tasted so good you just
couldn't get enough of it but maybe you haven't tried an ice cold comfortable
Berge lately.
That's the kind of beer Berge is soft water brewed to taste comfortable and
drink comfortable glass after glass.
The good comfortable right now taste of Berge is better than your memory.
Right now.
I would go along to the last of the seven inning crowd standing for the seventh
inning stretch and the Dodgers come on with Mota Davidson Parker.
All right Manny Mota coming on Mota has grounded out three times tonight.
I've loaded that now facing Gary Ross ball game even three three the pitch on
the way to man he is inside with a fastball Willie Davis on deck.
The Dodgers have three runs nine hits in the pod race three runs and four hits
the one oh pitch to man he comes low ball to two and oh Mota batting three
twenty six at the start Willie Davis on deck has had two hits tonight to raise
his average up he started out of three sixteen man he's left elbow still very
painful now the two oh pitch on the way to him taking a strike two and one with
that sore left elbow he can't swing properly but he's hanging in there he
doesn't want to get out of line up now here's the two one pitch looked along
the right field line Ali Brown coming over and has it near the line for the
out so Mota out on a fly ball into right field near the line one away and the
batter will be Willie Davis will he grounded out and beat out an infield hit
and single the right to drive in a run.
So Willie D two for three coming on now.
All right Davis waiting Ross under the weight up and the pitch is a fastball
outside ball one one ball on those strikes Ross delivers again and David
swings it off one ball one strike.
It was wrong to stop Willie Davis on the 31 game streak.
Kelly got Willie out the first inning and then Ross retired him three times in
a row half playing is checked up in a two high ball to two and one.
The Reds go down on the eighth and Marishaw is on his game a one hitter
single by Tommy Helms or ego is fixed to hitter a two one count now to Willie
Davis playing a five ball to right field and beat back toward those on a ground
still going back at the world leads up and it's gone caught by Brown against
the fastball and it's on the fence.
Well as far as he could and it looked like it was out of here and he brought
it down.
So Willie Davis this is a home run by about a foot.
I just stood there like a statue and caught it.
So Ali Brown goes to the fence and straight up against the board at his time
the Cori's arm with up started to go around and stop and then we knew the
Brown had caught it.
Ali fired it back in the really came close pitch to Parker as a strike going
one.
So what are they going to check out that pair of a minute almost nailed them
on the corner for strike to the left as one hit a single on the fourth round
about twice.
The West trying to get the batting stroke back attendance tonight at 17
thousand eight hundred and eighteen oh and to the count.
Low outside to the next pitch ball one.
Brown was pretty nonchalant on how many went right to the wall back to the
fence stood up put his arm up and boom he had it.
Here's the pitch bounce to the left side.
Kelly knocked it down and can't play it.
Parker is on the ball took a bad hop and Parker is on at first base to be an
error on the third baseman.
So Parker draws life on Kelly's error that's the first missed cue for San
Diego in the game.
Here's the first strike on one.
So what are they going to check out that pair of a minute almost nailed them
that was on the corner for strike to the left as one hit a single on the fourth
round about twice.
The West trying to get the batting stroke back attendance tonight at 17 thousand
eight hundred and eighteen oh and to the count.
Low outside to the next pitch ball one.
Brown was pretty nonchalant on how many went right to the wall back to the
fence stood up put his arm up and boom he had it.
Here's the pitch bounce to the left side.
Kelly knocked it down and can't play it.
Parker is on the ball took a bad hop and Parker is on at first base to be an
error on the third baseman.
Life on Kelly's error that's the first missed cue for San Diego in the game.
Here's the first strike on one.
All on the count now.
Crawford.
Brown ball and right back to Rob.
Mother just comes up and throws the first in time for the after he's had the
first strike no runs no hits one error and one left on the score at the end of
seven to play.
I'd race three and the Dodgers three.
Hey you know you can count on Farmer John Sausage scoring in both the top half
and the bottom half of your daily menu planning or to put it another way.
Farmer John Sausage is not only the West's best breakfast but it makes a mighty
fine supper too.
John makes his sausage with all the best meat not just the trimming and he makes
the Western recipe.
The natural herbs and spices.
So does a wonderful Western flavor in every marvelous meaty morsel.
It's made from fresh Eastern corn fed pork.
Roll it out here live.
Then you inspect it and dress fresh right here in the West.
That's why Farmer John Sausage is always rosy fresh.
Never gray looks like sausage chipped in frozen cold storage.
One day soon give your family lean juicy Farmer John Sausage for breakfast or
for supper.
It's the sausage that won the gold medal in the California State Fair.
You know what?
He's going to agree with us.
It's the Eastern most in quality and the Western most in flavor.

Our ball game is tied up a three and three.
The Padres and the Dodgers three runs nine to one for the Dodgers.
Three runs for the San Diego Padres.
Back to play.
Here's this.
I.J. through seven three three five.
OK, I.J. I.J. Robert O'Pangeon and Ali Brown and Bill Singer ready to go
to work.
Not only four hits, but I.J. have had nine hits and even three of these.
The pitch to I.J. over for a fight on one.
Checking into the wind up and it's like one big breaking ball pulled and off
the glove of today is backed up by Will.
But he has no play today.
This is playing on the grass, trying to go to his left and couldn't make the
play.
It'll be a big hit.
That will be hit number five for San Diego.
And it brings up Roberto Pena who was flying to right, single to center and
fouled out one for three.
On deck, Ali Brown.
Singer turns and lobs the throw to first to keep Arcee tied up.
Jose is the leading base stealer for San Diego.
He has stolen eleven.
Pena around the bunt, fouls it away.
Pena is a very good man to use in a play.
The one thing Pena does not do is strike out.
He becomes very valuable in a game like this.
To give you an idea, he has he strikes out about 12 percent of the time, which
would make him a very tough man.
So they play a lot of hit and run with him and bunt.
He's around the bunt, takes low one and one.
Twice in the four game series in San Diego, it was Pena who had a big hit and run
play and a run and hit play.
And each time it was the play that broke the ball game open and led to San Diego's victory.
He doesn't have a big average, but the 240 average doesn't fool you.
He's a good hitter.
The one-one pitch.
He bunts.
Down the gate, Parker.
It's on the chalk and it goes just foul.
And West picks it up.
So Pena will come back and try it again.
One and two to count, and Wally Moon pats him on the back.
Singer tonight is much more on the strikeout beam than he has been in a while.
He's had six strikeouts in seven innings.
Now he has two strikes on Pena.
So Roberto has a look at Sparky Anderson and comes back to the box.
I see it held on by Parker.
Three-three in the eighth.
Singer ready.
Check, send the pitch to Pena.
Splash foul on first base upstairs.
San Diego scored twice in the second inning.
The Dodgers got one in the fourth and one in the fifth to tie.
San Diego got a run in the sixth on Nate Colbert's 21st full run of the year,
and the Dodgers came back to tie it in the bottom of the sixth.
One-two pitch to Pena.
Fastball grounded down to Sizemore.
He goes to Wills.
Maury back to Parker, not in time.
Boy, Jose Arceo was stretched beyond second base.
He almost came out of his uniform trying to break up the double plays.
Tommy Dean will now run for Roberto Pena and will pause the station identification.

KTAR Phoenix.
The batter, Olly Brown.
Olly had a shot that almost took the right shoe off Bill Singer's foot in the first inning.
He walked in the third, popped up in the sixth.
Singer-Ruddy delivers and Brown swings and misses.
Boy, he had a rip at it.
0-1.
Olly has had a sore back.
When he went high in the air, as Sherry pointed out, to one end that drive up against the right field wall,
he suddenly dropped his arms to his side and lowered his head.
Here's the strike one pitch, Olly, low, 1-1.
If you had had a camera trained on him at that particular moment,
you'd have been positive that it was a brokenhearted and dejected outfielder who failed to catch a home run.
That's the way he appears.
Then suddenly, he flips the ball back to the infield.
The next one to Brown, a strike, 1-2.
Up at candlestick in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Giants leading 1-0.
Marischal opened up with a single.
He got to second base on a wild pitch, and with two out, Johnny Bench picked him off second base.
Brown fouls it away, still 1-2.
So with Ron Hunt, no, it was Willie Mays at the plate.
Mays at the plate and Marischal at second.
Johnny Bench nailed him, throwing the shortstop woodward.
So the Giants failed to score in the eighth, and at the end of eighth, it remains Giants 1, Cincinnati nothing.
If the Giants beat Cincinnati, Atlanta goes in the first place.
1-2 pitch to Brown, breaking ball got him looking.
Strike, 3-4. Olly angry and lets fire know about it as he walks away.
Seven strikeouts for Bill Singer.
Here's Al Ferraro.
Ferraro had the key out so far.
He would have really scrambled the ball game in the third inning with the Padres leading 2-0 and 2-1.
He sent Moda to the bullpen gate in left field for his long out.
Ferraro waiting.
Now Singer ready and delivers, and the pitch down and away, ball one.
Two down, here in the eighth, a 3-3 tie.
The Dodgers will have Sudeikis, Haller, and Sizemore in the bottom half of the inning.
The pitch to Ferraro, breaking ball low, ball two.
Tommy Dean at first base, running for Roberto Pena.
Ferraro at the plate and Nate Colbert on deck.
There in the ninth inning at Candlestick with the Giants leading 1-0.
One Maraschall has allowed only one hit.
Here's the 2-0 pitch. Ferraro takes the strike.
2-1, a count to Hal Ferraro.
Singer straightens up, looks at Dean, works Ferraro, and it's fouled away.
Off to the right out of play, 2-2.
San Diego and the Dodgers in the first game of the three-game series.
The only hit that Maraschall has allowed through eight innings at Candlestick
was a line drive base hit by Tommy Helms, opening up the third inning.
And Maraschall is now pitching the ninth, leading 1-0.
Throater first, Dean back to the bag.
2-2, the count to Hal Ferraro.
Bill Singer, right foot on the rubber.
Haller sets the target, and the 2-2 pitch to Ferraro.
Fastball fouled away.
It's a press box facade and bounces down below.
The Braves won.
The Giants are winning.
Houston lost, and the Dodgers are tied.
The Mets won a double header, and the Cubs won over in the East.
The Mets double header, a remarkable feat.
The Mets beat the Mets twice in Pittsburgh by the identical scores of 1-0.
Here's the 2-2 pitch to Ferraro.
Fastball hits the wheels.
Morey goes the short way to size for the 4th on Dean and that's that.
No run to hit a man left.
The end of 7-1-1-1, a 3-3 tie.

We get the report out of Candlestick that the Giants beat Cincinnati 1-0.
Boy, we've had a ruck of those all of a sudden.
The Dodgers beat Houston last night 1-0.
The Mets beat Pittsburgh twice today 1-0.
And the Giants knock off Cincinnati tonight 1-0.
All right, bottom of the eighth, Sudeikis, Halloran, Sizemore.
Ross into the windup, and the first one is swung on and missed, going one.
Sudeikis had an infield single in the second inning,
flied to right, and in the sixth inning, tripled into the right field corner.
That was all for Santorini, and then he scored on a single by Sizemore to tie up the game.
Sudeikis takes down and away, one ball, one strike.
Sudeikis waiting, Gary Ross into the windup, and the pick's low and inside, ball two.
Two and one.
Now the 2-1 pitch on the way to Bill Sudeikis.
A broken back, Luper to right field, I see it going out, and backhand.
Oh, what a play.
Jose Arcia made a fine play on a broken back, Luper into right field.
Big, wavy second baseman, covers a lot of territory,
and he can twist and turn that frame of his like a good basketball player.
And he backhanded the ball to take a hit away from Suss, one away.
Tom Haller has hit back to the box and walked twice.
Ross delivers, and the pitch inside under the elbows, ball one.
Big play by Arcia on the leadoff man in the eighth inning.
Now the 1-0 pitch on the way, swung on and missed Haller out in front of a slow curve.
One ball, one strike.
Now the 1-1 pitch on the way, Haller takes a strike, one and two.
Ross checking again with Kanizawa, now Gary into the windup, and the 1-2 pitch, fastball low, ball two, two and two.
Now the 2-2 pitch on the way, ground foul outside of third and down the line.
And here Ross picked up for Santorini in the sixth inning when he came into pitch to Haller, and he walked him. 2-2 pitch, one on and missed, strike three.
So Haller strikes out, two down, and the batter will be Ted Sizemore, and Haller stops to talk to Sizemore before Ted goes to the plate.
Sizemore grounded out, hit into a double play, and singled in the tying run in the sixth inning.
By the way, when San Diego hits in the ninth, they have Colbert, Kelly, and Morales.
Sizemore lifted foul off first, slicing down the line and out of play.
Colbert goes over to the auxiliary scoreboard, but it's a back end by a row.
0-1.
Sizemore waiting, no ball, one strike.
Ross into the windup, and the fastball foul straight back.
0-2.
Gary, both feet on the rubber, checking time, Sizemore waiting, and the strike two pitch on the way, bounce over the mound, back of second base, backhanded by Arcia, but he has no play.
So Ted Sizemore comes up with his second hit, he's 2-4.
And the batter will be girl singers.
That might not appear to be an important hit, but it really is.
It gets Singer up there in the eighth inning, and it gets him out of the way for the ninth.
So then if Singer makes out to end the inning and the figures show that the odds are he will, the Dodgers in the ninth will have Wills leading off.
All right, two out of the eighth, a 3-3 tie, a throw to first, Sizemore back to the bag.
Singer has flied to right and struck out and hit into a fourth by trying to sacrifice.
Still 0-3.
Sizemore rarely steals a pitch low.
The odds are he would not try it with a pitcher at the plate, but his percentage of success is very good.
Ted has stolen five out of six.
1-0 to count to Bill Singer. Rock delivers, Bill takes low, ball two.
Now the 2-0 pitch to Singer, a strike, 2-1.
Bill backs out. It's a look at third base coach Danny Ozark.
Sizemore short lead at first. Colbert holding. 2-1 pitch to Singer.
Ground ball that's going to go through, base hit. Sizemore is going to take the extra base and will do it.
So now Singer comes up with a bounce in fourth and hits sending Sizemore to third.
Singer, who was hitting less than 100, gets a base hit.
And Lori Wills has a chance to put the Dodgers out in front.
So two hits here in the eighth inning.
Run is at first and third, two out and here is Wills.
So that hit by Sizemore, which allowed Singer to get to the plate, and now Singer comes up with a rare hit, till it Wills come up.
So this has turned out to be a big moment for the Dodgers, as Wills, who was 2-4, has a chance to break the tie.
So now, Sizemore is singled and grounded out, singled and hit into a fourth play.
Ross up on top, set at the belt. There's a drive into left center, base hit by fourth score.
Second base, and the Dodgers lead 4-3.
So Lori Wills comes up with this third hit, a line drive base hit to catch in Sizemore.
So with two out, three consecutive hits by Sizemore, Singer, and now Wills.
The Dodgers leading 4-3. They have a dozen hits.
And the batter, Manny Moda. Moda is 0-3.
Ross Reddy delivers one on and missed, and down on his knees on home plate is Moda.
So Hardy swung a dead one. 0-1 to count.
0-1 to count to Manny Moda. Singer, second. Wills, at first, two out on the eighth, 4-3 Dodges.
Moda trying to make it an even bigger inning.
And now Manny, tired of waiting, backs out.
So that old story about some little acorns, large oak trees grow, the Dodgers with two out on the eighth,
with the eighth and ninth hitters coming up, have proceeded to take the lead.
Sizemore singles, but of course that's not news. He came into the game hitting 274.
Bill Singer had nine hits all year when he singles.
And then Wills came up with his third hit for the run.
So it is 4-3 Dodgers, two out on the eighth inning.
Moda trying to pick up Singer, who is wearing a glove to keep that right hand warm.
He's always had circulation problems with the right hand.
Moda waiting. Strike one-fifth. In the dirt, a throw down to first, not in time.
Counting zero, loves to throw, and he throws well.
Willie Davis on deck.
Dodgers four, Padres three, two out on the eighth inning.
Now Ross at the belt and delivers, breaking ball over. Good slow curve on the count one and two.
Singer away from second base, the Dodgers trying to keep pace. The Giants one, Atlanta one.
Here's a one-two pitch to Moda, down and away, backhanded by Canna-Zero, ball two, two and two.
Archie is trying to bird dog Singer a little bit.
He goes with Colbert deep, taking a pretty good lead, but he doesn't have anywhere to go with Singer in front of him.
Here's the two-two pitch to Moda, low ball three.
So the Dodgers get an offensive edge now, they can turn the runners loose.
Singer will be going under a full head of steam, along with Wills, when Ross makes his pitch.
Seventeen thousand eight hundred and eighteen out here tonight. Hope you'll be with us tomorrow night, it's ladies night.
The runners go, Moda hits one up the middle, pay attention. Singer will score Wills to third, five-three Dodgers.
The four consecutive singles with two out in the eighth inning, and the Dodgers have broken the tie and lead five-three.
Preston Gomez to the mound, and that will be all for Gary Ross.
Jack Valtion is down in the bullpen, but he is going to warm up, and we'll see who comes in.
We know one thing, Gary Ross is going out. Billy McCool, the left-hander Billy McCool, will be brought in from the San Diego bullpen.
We told you earlier that Maury Wills has extended his hitting streak. He has hit safely in twelve straights,
and that he has had two or more hits in nine of those twelve games.
Well, during that streak he's hitting 434, and he has three hits tonight.
So Billy McCool coming in for Gary Ross.
He'll be pitching to Willie Davis.
So Billy McCool, the left-hander, coming out of the San Diego bullpen.
There will be runners at first and third, Maury Wills at third, Manny Mota at first.
Here in the innings, Sudeikis popped out and Haller struck out, and then it started.
Sizemore singled up the middle, and Bill Singer singled up the middle.
Maury Wills singled to center, Manny Mota singled to center.
Here's your knock for not McCool.
So Billy McCool getting ready.
Willie Davis will be facing him with Mota at first and Wills at third.
Don't forget during this homestand that every ballgame is so important.
Tomorrow night, the same two ball clubs, and again Sunday afternoon.
The Cincinnati Reds will be in Monday night, and then a twilight night doubleheader Tuesday evening,
followed by the Atlanta Braves Wednesday and Thursday night.
Then the Dodgers will go out on the road, go to San Francisco and Cincinnati,
and come home for the final series of the year against the Giants and the Astros.
It's the 27th of September.
That will be Don Drysdale Day here at the ballpark.
So this is going to be a dandy right down to the wire,
and we sure hope you'll be out here enjoying all the fun with us.
Willie Davis will be the batter against left-hander Billy McCool.
Davis is 2 for 4 tonight.
Dodgers have scored five runs and 13 hits,
so they have come alive with the bat as soon as they get home after a very quiet road trip.
McCool at the belt. Billy checks the runners.
The pitch to Willie is a strike.
McCool is swinging five with the lead.
Marischal fits the one hitter to shut out the Reds.
Marischal Osteen and Ferguson Jenkins all have seven shutouts this year.
Here's the strike one pitch to Davis.
Swung on and missed, the back goes to Gilliam in the count of 0-2.
No ball, two strikes. Count to Willie Davis.
0-2.
So Cincinnati started the day in first place.
They have been knocked out of it,
which means first place in the Western Division has changed 12 times since the All-Star Game
and 22 times this year.
Davis waiting 0-2.
McCool at the belt as a look at his runners.
Now the strike two pitch to Willie with motor going and swung on and missed strike three.
So Davis strikes out, but the damage done, the Dodgers get two runs, four hits,
lead two and at the end of eighth, Dodgers five, quadrace three.

Bill Singer loosening up to Tommy Haller as we go to the ninth inning.
The Dodgers five runs, 13 hits and one error.
The Padres three runs, five hits and one error.
For San Diego, Nate Colbert, Van Kelly and Jerry Morales.
Five runs, 13 hits.
One error for the Dodgers, three, five and one for San Diego.
The last time the Dodgers scored five runs in a ball game was right here.
When they beat the Mets five to four, that was the last game of our last home stand.
That night had five runs, 12 hits.
So they come home and register five on 13 hits.
Nate Colbert grounded his short, fly to right and the homers.
Big right hand hitting first baseman has 21 home runs and he takes five, ball one.
Want to know, Nate?
Singer comes right back to him with a fastball low ball two.
In the Dodger bullpen we can see Jim Brewer.
Here's a 2-0 pitch on the way.
Line drive, the left field, solid base hit for Colbert.
Modap with the ball, bobbles it, then quickly recovers and gets it in.
So Colbert a long single and the battle will be Van Kelly.
Half a dozen hits for the Padres.
Van Kelly has walked, popped up and grounded out.
He's 0-2.
Singer trying to win his 19th tonight.
He's lost nine.
Bill also trying to complete his 15th game.
Kelly, left hand batter, takes a breaking ball for a strike.
0-1 to count.
Singer ready and the strike one pitch is high, 1-1.
For those of you who are interested in the game of the Coliseum and football,
Alcorn A&M 16, rambling seven.
That's at the end of three quarters.
I know there's a great deal of interest about that game.
1-1 to count to Van Kelly.
Nine-pinning, 5-3 Dodgers.
Singer looks at first, comes to the plate, missing away.
Ball two, 2-1.
The pitch to Van Kelly, low ball three.
So Singer leading 5-3 in the ninth inning but struggling a little bit.
Bill has struck out seven.
Straightens up and the 3-1 pitch is a high fly ball into left center field.
Davis and Moda converging.
It will be Davis who one-hands it over Moda's head as he goes by.
Like a fellow picking an apple off a tree while riding on a horseback,
he just seems to flag it.
Let's pause the station identification.
This is the Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network.
The Good Son, K-T-A-R, Phoenix.
Jerry Morales coming up.
Morales doubled up the alley in right center.
Fly to right and struck out.
Right-hand batting.
On deck is Larry Stahl.
Walter Olson, a brief chat with Singer, now turns and goes back to the dugout.
The Dodgers 5, 5-3, one out in the ninth inning.
First game of the three-game series.
The Dodgers trying to keep pace.
Atlanta and the Giants 1, Cincinnati and Houston lost.
The pitch is tight.
0-1 to Morales.
Right-hand batting.
The Dodgers lead it first and Parker not holding.
Singer comes to the plate, missing down and away.
One ball, one strike.
Singer ready and the 1-1 pitch to Jerry Morales is a high fly ball to Willie Davis.
He backs up under it now.
Two out in the ninth inning.
And Larry Stahl will come up in bat for Chris Cannigero.
Larry Stahl, left-hand hitting outfielder, has three home runs and 10 RBIs.
And Bill Singer, one out away from his 15th complete game.
Bill delivers, Stahl takes away, ball one.
Olstein has completed 15 of 36.
Singer, if he can do it, will have completed 15 out of 35.
Each will have 119.
The 1-0 pitch, Stahl takes the strike.
1-1 to Larry Stahl, two down, ninth inning, 5-3 Dodgers.
Singer at the belt and the 1-1 pitch on the way, outside and high, ball two.
Tomorrow night, Jim Bunning goes against Joe Necro.
Here's a 2-1 pitch to Stahl, swung on and missed, strike two.
Back to pitching for the weekend, Jim Bunning and Joe Necro tomorrow night.
Don Sutton and Clay Kirby, Sunday afternoon.
2-2 pitch on the way, high, ball three.
And the second on deck, Ed Spizio, right hand hitter with socks.
So Singer will just as soon do the job with Stahl.
He's gone all the way, so Colbert ready to leave first base on the pitch.
There he goes, and it's high, and so the ball game is still very much alive.
And Singer, that would be the third walk he has issued.
Now here's the announcement on Spizio.
Walter Austin has gone out to the mound and he's bringing a hook with him.
So the Dodgers will be going to the bullpen, and I would assume they'll bring in Brewer, and that's who it is.
So Spizio is called up to hit, and immediately Austin makes his second trip to the mound.
That meant that was all for Singer, so he does not get his 15th complete game.
Now we'll see about whether Spizio is the batter or not.
Ivan Morrell comes out of the dugout.
Spizio has been announced as the batter for McCool.
And Jim Brewer will be brought in to pitch to him.
The Padres led in the ball game. They scored twice in the second inning.
Morales doubled home one, and Canadaro squeezed home Morales.
The Dodgers, however, got it back on three hits in the fourth inning for a run, added the tying run in the fifth inning on two hits.
Each side scored in the sixth inning, Colbert at home, and in the bottom half of the sixth, Sudeikis tripled and scored.
So it was 3-3 in the eighth inning, and with two out on the bottom of the eighth, Sizemore, Singer, Wills, and Mota all singled consecutively.
That added two and gave the Dodgers the five to three lead.
Now Jim Brewer and his screwball ask to come in and get Spizio and bring this thing back in the locker room.
Spizio, as we mentioned, has sock. He has 13 home runs.
And Bill Singer, who goes eight and two thirds, gets an ovation as he comes out.
Bill Singer got the job done into the ninth inning, and in this day and age, any time you get that close, you have turned in quite a performance.
So Singer leaves with two out in the ninth inning, and Jim Brewer is asked to come in and get Ed Spizio.
Spizio, formerly with the St. Louis Cardinals, right-hand batter, average at 240, 13 home runs, 36 runs batted in.
Apparently Spizio will bat, and then Morrell is out on deck to bat for Arcia should the inning be prolonged.
Atlanta beat Houston, so Atlanta will go into first place.
The Giants beat Cincinnati, and the Giants will be trailing Atlanta by half a game in second.
Cincinnati will be in third.
The Dodgers, if they can hold on to their lead, will be in fourth place a game and a half back.
Houston, the losers, they lost today. They'll be three and a half back.
But right now, the big moment, head-to-head duel between Jim Brewer and pinch hitter Ed Spizio.
Left-hander, ready and deals, screwball very high, ball one, one and oh.
We get a report about Bill Singer, and it shows you what a courageous performance he turned in tonight.
Spizio takes a strike, one and one.
Way back in the very first inning, Holly Brown almost took Bill Singer's right foot off with a shot,
and that's why he left. That right ankle had puffed up and was bothering him, and he finally had to come out.
So there's a guy who was pitching with a bad ankle and got into the ninth with two outs before they had to take him out.
Screwball, one down and missed, one and two.
So the pride of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Mr. James Brewer, got to pop the cork on this one with two outs, one and two to Ed Spizio.
Nate Colbert at second, Larry Stahl at first, two out, and the screwball way outside and high, ball two.
He certainly doesn't want to work three and two to Spizio and then have the potential tying runs in motion.
So we'll see what comes now, two balls and two strikes.
Brew Reddy delivers. Screwball, got him 20.
No runs, one hit, two left.
As Jim Brewer comes in to strike out Spizio with his screwball, the Dodgers win it five to three.
We'll have the totals of the winning and losing pictures right after this message.
You know, we Americans have many traditions, some large, some so small you probably never think of them unless they're missing.
Like, have you ever gone to a movie theater and found they don't have popcorn?
Well, it's just not right, is it? You just should have a big box of hot buttered popcorn at the movies.
And Thanksgiving certainly wouldn't be Thanksgiving without turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie.
Or if you're camping, what about hot dogs and baked beans and hot dogs at the ballpark, right?
Of course, at a baseball game, a man has to have something cold to go with that hot dog.
How about a good ice cold beer? In my way, I think that beer's got to be a Berge.
It's as important as that Thanksgiving pumpkin pie tasting just like Mother used to make.
What's so special about Berge? I guess it's that light, easygoing taste.
It's comfortable, so comfortable you can keep on drinking it even if the game goes into extra innings.
I guess that's a pretty darn good way to judge a beer. So go ahead, open up a Berge to go along with the ballgame.
After all, baseball and Berge is practically a tradition.
In fact, you might even put that ahead of Mom's pumpkin pie.
The turtles on the ballgame for the Dodgers, five runs, 13 hits and one error.
For the Padres, three runs, six hits and one error.
The winning pitcher, Bill Singer, left with two out on the ninth because of his sore ankle.
He had been hit by a shot off the bat of Ollie Brown on the first inning and went into the ninth before it bothered him to come out.
Singer is now 19 and nine, two and one against San Diego.
Relief pitcher, Gary Ross, who pitched so well to beat the Dodgers in San Diego in the recent series, suffers the defeat and Ross is now three and 12.
The Dodgers keep pace. They remain a game and a half out, but they're still right on the heels of Atlanta, San Francisco and Cincinnati.
On the last night, Jim Bunning and Joe Necro warm up at 740, game time at eight and it's ladies night and we sure hope you'll be out here with us.
Once again, the final score, Dodgers five, Padres three.
Now this has been Scully along with Jerry Doggett inviting you to stay tuned to the postgame show coming right up.
