This is Retro Sports Radio. Visit Retro Sports Radio.

3
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Yankees in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a> losing four games.

4
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
The next batter is D'Amato Garcia, ground ball to the left side by Belanger into center field for a base hit.

5
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Garcia singles to center field.

6
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
But the Red Sox have played better in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> this year than they have in their home of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a>.

7
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So it'll be interesting to see what happens this weekend.

8
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Palmer last Sunday worked seven and two-thirds innings against this Toronto club.

9
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Gave up only one earned run. That was a solo home run to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>.

10
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
He was not the pitcher of record. The Orioles and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> lost that game an extra innings.

11
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
In that game, three home runs for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

12
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Howell is the batter with a runner at first base.

13
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Hitting.257 coming into the game tonight with eight home runs and.48 RBI.

14
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
D'Amato Garcia is the runner at first base.

15
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
He has 12 stolen bases all the year. He's been caught stealing 13 times.

16
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Palmer looks to first. Here's the first pitch to Howell. It's high. One ball and no strikes for Cobb.

17
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Lowenstein straight away in left field.

18
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Bumbray shaded to the left field side and center.

19
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Singleton well off the line and right. That's the Oriole outfield.

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Lowenstein, Bumbray and Singleton.

21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Throw to first and the runner is back.

22
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Around the infield, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> is at first.

23
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Dower is at second base tonight.

24
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Belanger at short.

25
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
DeSensei is at third and Graham is behind the plate.

26
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Here's the 1-0 delivery. Breaking pitch. Swinging at an inch.

27
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
He's got a piece of it. One ball and one strike.

28
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> in the series in Toronto the four games played some very, very good defense.

29
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
He'll be a free agent this year and the Orioles may take a look at him.

30
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
They're going to need some third base backup help if DeSensei has that operation.

31
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Palmer again looks to Graham for the sign.

32
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Here's the pitch to Howell.

33
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Many lines. Well, a vicious line shot off to the left side into the box seat.

34
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
So it looked like nobody was injured on that one.

35
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:18,000
The Orioles beaten the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> eight times this year.

36
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
They lost two games. That was in Toronto last weekend.

37
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Palmer looks the runner back to first base this time.

38
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Now he'll look in to get the sign from Graham.

39
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Again, the look to first. Here's the pitch. A fast ball or a change up is fouled off into one of the VIP boxes upstairs.

40
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Everybody jumps for cover, but everybody's OK.

41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
That one got pretty close to the owner.

42
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
One ball with two strikes to come.

43
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Here's the next pitch to Howell.

44
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
He had a tendency to go for it, but laid off and was a little high on the bomber change up.

45
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Two balls and two strikes to come.

46
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
The on deck batter is Big <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>.

47
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
There's one out. No score on the game. We're just getting underway.

48
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a> looking for victory number 16. The runner goes. Here's the pitch. Ground ball out to the manager.

49
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
He cannot make the play at second. The throw to first in time is enough to get Howell.

50
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
So Howell has retired sixth three. Garcia was running on the pitch, and he gets to second base with no problem.

51
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
You look at Palmer's record, 15 and 10 this year, and people say, well, Palmer's had kind of an off year.

52
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I think too many people expect 20 wins every season from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>. He could line up with 17 or 18 victories, and that is pretty good.

53
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
In fact, it's very good in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/MLB/1980/overview/>Major League Baseball</a>, 17 or 18 wins.

54
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
And Palmer has been pitching in some very tough luck at times this year.

55
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
You can look back at a few games he lost.

56
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Two outs now, and here's Mayberry.

57
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Has a 10 game hitting streak on the line tonight, and he has five home runs in 10 games.

58
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Batting 248, 26 home runs, 77 RBIs, and Graham and Palmer having a bit of a communication problem, and Jim wants to get it straightened out, so Danny hustles off the mound.

59
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Mayberry is hitting 229 against the Orioles this year.

60
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:34,000
D'Amato Garcia is the runner in second base. Palmer gets the sign. Now he'll look back to second.

61
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Here's a pitch to Mayberry, and it's high, and inside one ball and no strikes to count.

62
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:50,000
The on deck batter is the designated hitter, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-braun/>Steve Braun</a>.

63
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
A gamble look to second. Here's Palmer's pitch, and that's low.

64
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Two balls and no strikes.

65
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Of course Palmer realizes that Mayberry went deep against him last Sunday in Toronto. He'll be careful with him.

66
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:12,000
He was trying not to walk Mayberry when he set him to that pitch last Sunday that went out of the ballpark.

67
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
A look to second. Here's the next pitch, and a breaking pitch again. Does not find the strike zone.

68
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Three balls and no strikes to count. Palermo is the home plate umpire tonight.

69
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Palmer and Palermo had run in after run in in Detroit recently when the two met.

70
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Palermo was behind the plate. He's considered one of the best ball and strike umpires in the league, but he's had problems with Palmer.

71
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000
The next pitch to Mayberry is high, and he walks.

72
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
So Mayberry walks on four pitches, and that'll bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-braun/>Steve Braun</a>. He started the year with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/kansas-city-royals/1980/overview/>Kansas City Royals</a>.

73
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
He was released by the Royals, and then picked up by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

74
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I remember seeing a telegram in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a>'s office from Steve after he was released. The telegram said something to the effect.

75
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Have big league experience. We'll travel. And he wound up with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

76
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Palmer, who has a photographic memory, will tell you that when Palermo has been behind the plate.

77
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Here's the pitch by Jim, and a fastball is a call strike as it hits with the letters just in the other portion of the plate.

78
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
With Palermo behind the plate, Palmer's record is one win and six losses.

79
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Runners at first and second. One strike delivery is on the way, and a breaking pitch is high. One ball, one strike to come.

80
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:44,000
In fact, Palmer's beefing with Palermo led to the ejection of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> in Detroit.

81
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Jim's ready to work. The runners at first and second. Here's the pitch.

82
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:59,000
That is ball two. Two balls and one strike to come. Palmer's run average is 3.84. He's making his 31st start tonight.

83
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,000
He's 2-0 against the Blue Jays this year. We mentioned he worked Sunday and was not involved in the decision.

84
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:14,000
He beat them on June the 25th, here 6-3. Here's the 2-1 delivery. Line drive, center field base hit.

85
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Bumbree charges. The runner is rounding third. It gets by Bumbree, and Garcia will score easily.

86
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Mayberry will go down to third base now. They will have no play at second.

87
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:33,000
So the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> take a 1-0 lead. Braun singles to center field. Garcia comes home on the play.

88
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:44,000
It got by Bumbree. So Mayberry took the opportunity on the arrow by Bumbree to allow Braun to go to second base, and Mayberry is now at third.

89
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And Lloyd Mosby is up.

90
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:07,000
1-0 Toronto. Mosby on the air, a 2-37, with eight home runs and 39 RBIs.

91
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000
He hits the Orioles at a 3-0-8 clip this year with two home runs.

92
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Runners at second and third. Palmer to the left-hander Mosby, a breaking pitch banged on the ground by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> down the line.

93
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
One run will score as Mayberry comes across with a second run. Here comes Braun with a third run.

94
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And Mosby goes into second with a stand-up double down the line and right field, and it's 3-0 Toronto.

95
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
That ball got by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> right on the line at first base.

96
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Scoring two more runs, three runs on Bumbree, it's Griffin's time at the inning.

97
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000
And he was out on a fly ball to center. Garcia then singles, Howell grounded off.

98
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Mayberry walked and Braun singled and now Mosby is double.

99
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:02,000
And the batter is Baylor. Against the league, Baylor is a 2-43 hitter with a home run and 16 RBIs.

100
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Lifetime against Palmer, a 387 hitter, 12 for 30 runs.

101
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:13,000
The home runner at second base now is Mosby. Palmer's fast ball is banged on the ground out to Blander, picks it up on the short hop,

102
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
throw the first in time to retire Baylor 6-3, but not before the Blue Jays pick up three runs on three hits in the end of a hand-hitting play.

103
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
The score is Toronto 3 Baltimore.

104
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Baltimore manager Oweever says the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1980/overview/>New York Yankees</a> are going to have to win the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> East flag on their own

105
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
without relying on the Orioles to lose.

106
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000
The Birds fetching another half game closer to the Yanks on Thursday by downing Detroit 7-3.

107
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a>'s two run singles in the seventh snap the 3-3 tie and foot Baltimore ahead to stay.

108
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
The Yankees split a pair of decisions with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

109
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
They won the completion of the game suspended from Wednesday night 8-7 in 13 innings,

110
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
but Toronto's Lewis Leo fired a two hitter to give the Jays a 2-1 win in the regularly scheduled contest.

111
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
The Bronx Farmers now lead the East by 5 with 16 to play.

112
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Realistically, it's going to be awfully tough for the Orioles.

113
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
You know, you get into situations like this where you're talking about the mathematical prospects,

114
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
and of course mathematically the Orioles are not eliminated, but realistically it's going to be awfully tough.

115
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
But then you can start talking realism with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1980/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a>, can't you?

116
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Back in about 1964, so they blew that big league, so there's always a chance.

117
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
And that's what makes the game of baseball so interesting. Anything can happen.

118
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/kansas-city-royals/1980/overview/>Kansas City Royals</a> will play either the Yanks or the Orioles in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> playoffs.

119
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Kansas City slugger <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> serving notice to both clubs that he's over the effects of a hand injury.

120
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Brett went 2 for 3 to raise his average to 398 as the Royals bump California 5-2.

121
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Brett is now 4 for 8 in the two games since his return.

122
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Well, the Orioles are in that groove again. I don't know whether you should call it a groove.

123
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Perhaps a rut might be a better way of describing it.

124
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000
I haven't got the numbers at my fingertips, but it seems so frequently in this month of September

125
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
they have spotted the opposition a couple of 2 or 3 runs in the very first inning.

126
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And it has happened again tonight. Toronto leading 3-0.

127
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Bumbly Dowell or Singleton will start the Orioles in an effort to get caught up immediately.

128
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
And they're out against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a> in his most recent start last Sunday in Toronto.

129
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
This young right-hander went 8 and 1 third innings, allowed two runs.

130
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Both of those were <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> home runs.

131
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:44,000
He gave up 6 hits but did not figure in the 13th inning 4-3 Toronto victory.

132
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Todd tonight makes his ninth start of the year.

133
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,000
He has completed 3 of his previous 8 starts, 59 innings, 59 base hits.

134
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
He has pitched to an earned run of 3.36.

135
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,000
And in 8 starts Todd has been touched for 8 home runs.

136
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Well here is Al Bumbly, Al having an outstanding year, hitting 312 on the year.

137
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And he needs just 19 more base hits for 200.

138
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
It's going to be tough, but it's not impossible. Todd?

139
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Well Al has hit in 29 of his last 34 games in a 3-31 quip, 50 for 151.

140
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Lead-off batter for the Orioles, Bumbly will be followed by Dowell and Singleton.

141
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
The Birds need 3 to catch up to Toronto, we're only in the first inning.

142
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Here's the pitch to Bumbly, and a fastball as well, one ball and no strikes to count.

143
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
As Chuck told you, Todd had the Orioles in a headlock in Toronto last Sunday.

144
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Until the 8th inning, the only runs of him came on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> home runs,

145
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
the attempt to bond his from Bunnett foul into the box.

146
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a> was called up from Syracuse, August the 8th,

147
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000
and he's already compiled a 4-1 record, he's doing better with Toronto than he did with Syracuse.

148
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
He was 7-9 when he was called up.

149
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Making his 9th start, he has 3 complete games.

150
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Looking for his fourth consecutive win.

151
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
1-1 delivery to Bumbly, fastball lined over the head,

152
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Griffin out into center field for a base hit.

153
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:25,000
So Bumbly singles to left center, and the Orioles have a hitting start.

154
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Here are the first innings, that'll bring up Rich Dower.

155
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Now Dower performed the unusual last night, he struck out.

156
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Only the 16th time Dower has fanned this year in 551 plate appearances.

157
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
He's called the toughest strikeout of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>,

158
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
has a 281 average, one home run of 56 RBI.

159
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Draw to first and Bumbly is back.

160
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
North Sound was always a threat to go with 40 stolen bases.

161
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,000
He's only been caught stealing nine times.

162
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Dodd looks to first base, here's the pitch to Dower,

163
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000
bounces in the dirt in front of the plate, so the count is two balls and no strikes.

164
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
In the outfield tonight, Hudson, Paul Hudson is in left.

165
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Reversible Bob Baylor is playing center field tonight, and Mofi is in right field.

166
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Witt is behind the play, foul on the third, and Griffin is at short,

167
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Garcia is second, Mayberry is at first.

168
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Jackson Dodd, draw to first and Bumbly dives back in safely.

169
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000
He was released from the Phillies organization in spring training last year

170
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
and signed on with Syracuse and was called up by Toronto at the end of the year.

171
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Made his major league debut in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> with a Mets in 1977.

172
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:54,000
In 59th inning so far, he's given up eight home runs, walking 24, striking out 27.

173
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Look to Bumbly, there he goes, here's the pitch to throw to second base,

174
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Bumbly flags and he's safe.

175
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:09,000
And the count on Dower is now one ball and one strike.

176
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:20,000
He now has 41 stolen bases in 50 attempts this year.

177
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,000
And Bumbly by the way now just has to get 18 in for the first Oriole ever to get 200.

178
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
One ball, one strike to count to Dower.

179
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
The pitch to Dower, ground ball to the left side, picked up by Griffin.

180
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
He'll not make the play a third to throw to first in time,

181
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
and Dower is retired as Bumbly hustles down to third base.

182
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
So Dower is off 6-3.

183
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Alfrengo Griffin took the one hopper at short.

184
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000
He looked at third base for the possibility of getting the speedy Bumbly ball,

185
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,000
but he did not have a chance and threw the first to retire Rich Dower.

186
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a>, he went three for four with three RBIs last night

187
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
and recorded his 19th game-winning RBI.

188
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
He leaves the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> in that category.

189
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
He raised his batting average to 288.

190
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:14,000
He has 90 RBIs at 22 home runs.

191
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Bumbly at third, the first pitch to Singleton, ground ball.

192
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Off to Garcia at second.

193
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000
He'll get it on the short hop, throw to first in time as the run scores,

194
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
and it's a three-to-one game.

195
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Singleton grounding out to Garcia at second

196
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
and Bumbly taking the opportunity to score the Orioles' first run from third base.

197
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
So it's a three-to-one game.

198
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Here comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

199
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000
And here's the story on Murray.

200
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
He was batting just 217 against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>

201
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
before he entered exhibition stadium last Thursday night.

202
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
But that four-game series up there, Eddie went 10 for 19,

203
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
but you believe that was five home runs and eight RBIs,

204
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
and he scored seven runs.

205
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Lifetime against these Blue Jays, Eddie is batting 348.

206
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Two outs, nobody on, three-to-one game.

207
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Murray batting left-handed.

208
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Here's the pitch to Eddie.

209
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
And it's a ball one, one ball and no strikes.

210
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Eddie became the youngest player in Oriole history.

211
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,000
I had him drive in 100 runs last night.

212
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
One-oh pitch is on the way to Eddie.

213
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Swing and a miss.

214
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
One ball and one strike, and Eddie was not cheated on that rip.

215
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Hitting an even 300 tonight, coming into the game with 29 homers

216
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:40,000
and that 100 RBI.

217
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Down the hill with a one-one pitch to Murray.

218
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
High fly ball off to left field should be no problem for Hudson.

219
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Moves under it, makes the catch, and Eddie is retired on a fly ball

220
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000
to right field.

221
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,000
The Orioles pick up a run at the end of one, Toronto three, Baltimore one.

222
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Elsewhere in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> on Thursday,

223
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Milwaukee sweeping a doubleheader for Minnesota, nine to eight and five to nothing.

224
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-rice/>Jim Rice</a> is four RBI, self the Red Sox overpower Cleveland eight to three.

225
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-rivers/>Mickey Rivers</a> had four hits to help Texas, feet open 10 to six,

226
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
and the White Sox nipping Seattle five to four.

227
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
The home run ball is all that makes the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1980/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> tick.

228
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
At least that's what's been working for them lately.

229
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Like a trio of bombs going off, the Dodgers exploded for three home runs

230
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
to beat San Diego seven to three.

231
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
The blasts by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dusty-baker/>Dusty Baker</a>, Ron Say, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-hatcher/>Mickey Hatcher</a>

232
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
enabled the Dodgers to stay a game up on Houston in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> West.

233
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
The Astros did some long ball hitting of their own on the way to attend

234
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
the two blitz in Cincinnati.

235
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-morgan/>Joe Morgan</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jose-cruz/>Jose Cruz</a> each slam two run homers to lead the way

236
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
for the usually light-hitting Astros.

237
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
In the only other <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> game, Chris Shamless' two run homer

238
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,000
gave the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1980/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> a two to one win over the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1980/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a>.

239
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
The contenders in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> East all have a day off for rest and travel Thursday.

240
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
First place Montreal resuming action in St. Louis,

241
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
second place Philadelphia playing in Chicago.

242
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000
That game is already completed and Chicago won it in the bottom of the ninth inning.

243
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
The winner, Bruce Kear the loser, four runs, nine hits and two errors for the Cubs,

244
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
three runs, eight hits, and no errors for the Phils.

245
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Third place Pittsburgh hosting the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1980/overview/>New York Mets</a>,

246
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
and the Astros leading the Phils by game and a half for the Pirates by five,

247
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,000
but right now the Phils are out by two.

248
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Well, we'll go down to the top of the second inning,

249
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
three to one the Blue Jays Palmer against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hutchins/>Paul Hutchins</a> here in the top.

250
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
First pitch to Palmer, a swing and a miss.

251
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
The game is playing tonight because <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/barry-bonnell/>Barry Bonnell</a> was back in Toronto,

252
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
or was back in Toronto yesterday,

253
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
as Mrs. Bonnell gave birth to the Bonnell's third child, a ten pound baby boy.

254
00:20:50,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Palmer's one strike pitch at the ball, one ball and one strike to go.

255
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Palmer's next delivery and it's fouled off to the right side.

256
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Paul Hudson signed with the Blue Jays in 1975 while he was 17 years old.

257
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Blue Jays lead it by a score of three to one,

258
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
coming up with three runs on three hits in the first inning.

259
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Palmer's next pitch, it's a ball, two balls and two strikes to go.

260
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
We'll see Hudson, Witt and Griffin in this inning for the Blue Jays.

261
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Jim works again.

262
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Next pitch, line drive, center field, base hit for Paul Hudson.

263
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,000
And the fourth hit given up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

264
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Ernie Witt, the catcher for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>, steps in against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

265
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,000
A 2-42 hit, it was five home runs and 23 RBI as the left-hander.

266
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
And we see some activity off the Oriole bullpen as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> is up and warming.

267
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Dennis was the loser against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> last Sunday as he came out of the bullpen

268
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:11,000
and extra innings and just didn't have it.

269
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Well, look to first, here's a bitch at high.

270
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000
We mentioned to you Palmer beat the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> in a complete game, 6-3 here June the 25th.

271
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
On July 1st he went 8-2-3 innings against Toronto, defeating them by a score of two to nothing.

272
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Tippi Martinez came in to pick up a save in that game.

273
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Palmer's 7-4 lifetime against Torello.

274
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Look to first, the throw that way and the runner is back in time.

275
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,000
These two teams will play tomorrow night, that again on Sunday afternoon.

276
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Palmer's pitch, sales side, two balls, no strikes to come.

277
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
The Yankee <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1980/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> game is just about to get underway in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>.

278
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000
As soon as we get a score, we'll pass it along to you.

279
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Palmer again with a look to first, here comes a 2-0 delivery, ball three, three balls and no strikes to come.

280
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,000
There's been very little jawing or peeping about Steve Palermo's call of balls and strikes tonight

281
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:18,000
as Palmer has just been out of the strike zone time after time and he is usually a very good control pitcher.

282
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Walking 67 this year while striking out 99.

283
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,000
3-0 delivery, it's high, no question about it.

284
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Let's pause now for station identification. This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/baltimore-orioles/1980/overview/>Baltimore Orioles</a>, baseball and work.

285
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:42,000
This is the American Forces radio and television service.

286
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Well, there's nobody else for the Blue Jays. Hudson single to open the inning.

287
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
He's just gone to second on the walk to Ernie Witt.

288
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ray-miller/>Ray Miller</a> is out having a talk with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a> as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> continues to warm up the Oriole bowl pass.

289
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Now Palermo's going to go out and try to break up this mound coverage. Chuck?

290
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:09,000
A while ago we wondered aloud how many times Orioles starting pitchers have given the opposition a lead in the first inning here in the month of September.

291
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Seems as though that's happened quite a few times. Well, really it hasn't.

292
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000
It's happened only six times in the month of September and four times the Oakland A's.

293
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I tell you, when you look back at the 80s season if the Orioles don't win it and you're looking at what happened down the stretch,

294
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
you look at the Oakland A's and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/seattle-mariners/1980/overview/>Seattle Mariners</a> and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> splitting a series last weekend.

295
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Oakland coming to town taking three out of four.

296
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Palmer's at first and second. Here's the pitch. He squares the putt. It's right back to the mound. Palmer picks it up.

297
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
He'll go to third base and the runner at third base is out.

298
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Now Palmer took the gamble and it paid off.

299
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Griffin was batting. He putted right out in front of the mound and there are very few pitchers in this game of baseball that could have made that play.

300
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Palmer will get off the mound as fast as anybody in baseball.

301
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:11,000
He charged off the mound, looked at third and went there right away to cut down the lead runner.

302
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:18,000
So Griffin reaches on a fourth.

303
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Oxnard has cut down and the batter is now Demosso Garcia. He's single to center field his first time up.

304
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Runners at first and second with one out. Here's Palmer's pitch and it's low on a fastball. One ball and no strikes to come.

305
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Garcia, a 282 hitter.

306
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Witt is at second base and Griffin's at first. Palmer's next pitch and it's high again. Two balls and no strikes to come.

307
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Lumbre is shaded just slightly to the left field side. Longstein pretty well off the line, straight away in left field, Singleton straight away in right.

308
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Palmer's next pitch and it's fouled off to the right side into the seat so the count will be two balls and one strike.

309
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Three to one, the Blue Jays lead it. The first game of the three game weekend series.

310
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Grant Flash is assigned. Palmer now looks back to second. Here's the two one delivery and it's a called strike.

311
00:26:41,000 --> 00:27:00,000
It just nicked the outside corner. And Garcia's a little unhappy with that call. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> is on deck.

312
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Williams is on second and Griffin off first. Here comes the two two pitch swing at an end.

313
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:12,000
And I'll tell you what, Garcia takes a bad pitch who was high and a little tight.

314
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Boy, Chuck Howell. That's so typical of the manner in which Palmer will work.

315
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Now the pitch before that is a called strike and an upset Garcia jumps a little bit.

316
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,000
He's a little angry over the call, a little unsettled as Palmer goes back with a waste pitch. Garcia's shaped.

317
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Now Garcia's in the dug up. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> is up. He grounded off the short his first time up.

318
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Palmer trying to come off the ropes here in the second inning.

319
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:50,000
He looks to second. Here's the pitch to Howell's swing at an end. One strike to count to Roy.

320
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,000
The inning started with a base hit by Hudson with then one. Hudson was cut down as Griffin reached on a one five fourth.

321
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Garcia's down on strikes. One strike to count to Howell. Left hand of hitter against Palmer.

322
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:08,000
The pitch to him and he falls one off. Looks like it might make the upper deck on the left side. And it does.

323
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Rex Parny might give that man an error.

324
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Looks like he had the ball. Didn't it, Bill Ross? And then just let it fall out of his hands.

325
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Half-side at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> hit it inside the park home run in that suspended game.

326
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000
It looked like the Blue Jays were going to walk off with it, but the Yankees came up with four runs to tie it.

327
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Then won it in the 13th. Came up with four on the 10th.

328
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Here's the pitch at the call strike three. On a change up from Palmer to Howell. He knew it. That's it.

329
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
At the end of an inning and a half the score is Toronto 3 Baltimore 1.

330
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
All-time Monday winter spectacular bid is the solid favorite in a field of three.

331
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
For Saturday's Woodward Stakes at New York's Elmline Park.

332
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
The first leg of the championship series, the Marlboro Cup, belongs to Winter's Pale,

333
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
the speedy gelding who captured the event by four and a half lengths two weeks ago.

334
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Trainer Bud Delfin says that it doesn't matter whether there are two or 22 horses in the race.

335
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
He says we're in great shape right now and we are ready.

336
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:18,000
The Woodward, a waste for age race, should be a three horse contest between bid, Winter's Pale and speedy Dr. Patches.

337
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Elmline Stakes winner, Tamper and Phil, is also the winner, but will be scratched unless bid or Winter's Pale are withdrawn first.

338
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Linebacker John Mooring, touched by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-lions/1980/overview/>Detroit Lions</a> earlier this season,

339
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000
has signed with the injury-plagued <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-browns/1980/overview/>Cleveland Browns</a> to fill the vacancy left by Jerry Shirk.

340
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Mooring, a 6'3", 230 pounder, was released by the Lions after the first regular season game.

341
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
And the 23-0 was an eighth round pick by Detroit last year.

342
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-clippers/1980/overview/>San Diego Clippers</a> coach <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-silas/>Paul Silas</a> has announced his retirement as a player after 16 seasons.

343
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
And brought some three NBA championship teams.

344
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Silas retired in the offseason as a player coach,

345
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,000
but feels it would be impossible to devote his total energy to coaching if he is still active as a player.

346
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Silas was 17 games short of breaking John Hallercheck's record of 1,270 games.

347
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:19,000
In 16 seasons, he scored 11,782 points and grabbed 12,357 rebounds.

348
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Well, in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/wrigley-field/>Wrigley Field</a>, Chicago this afternoon, the Cubs came up with a two run, bottom of the line, 50-50.

349
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1980/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a> 4-3.

350
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Fifth, the winner, and the star is the loser. That's a very tough defeat for the Phillies who are trailing by a game and a half.

351
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
As activity started today, right now Montreal will be in St. Louis.

352
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000
So the Phillies now are two yards behind Montreal, depending on what happens in St. Louis later tonight.

353
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
The plan will be in San Diego.

354
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:53,000
The big one on the west coast of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>, of course, is Cincinnati in Los Angeles.

355
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,000
In Los Angeles, we have Houston by a full game. Houston will be in San Francisco.

356
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Those games will start until about 10.30 Baltimore time.

357
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Here's the first pitch to John Lornstein, and it's inside one ball with no strikes.

358
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
The Brother Low comes in with a game of nine batting, 3-0-2.

359
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Next pitch to Lornstein, ball two, two balls and no strikes to go.

360
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:27,000
There's a rumor afloat that in that game in Toronto last Saturday when the fog got so thick you couldn't see the outfielders.

361
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:34,000
And every fly ball that's in the outfield was a dangerous adventure. Next pitch to call strike of the means to a London out.

362
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,000
There's a rumor afloat that Lornstein was smart enough to plant three baseballs out into that field.

363
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Nobody was going to get anything by him in a heavy fog.

364
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Here's the two on delivery ground ball to the right side.

365
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:50,000
It's picked up by Garcia. Flips it underhanded. Does they bury it first? And Lornstein is down 4-3.

366
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:55,000
In fact, Bob Baylor made a catch down the line and was a great catch in that game.

367
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,000
You just saw him come up at the last minute, and some of the Orioles were suspicious about Bobby Baylor the veteran.

368
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Maybe he had a baseball in his back pocket.

369
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Lornstein is down. The designated hitter, number 10. Jerry Crowley, the Orioles' designated hitter. The king of swing.

370
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:26,000
299 hitter with high and low bounce at 41 RBI. The pitch to Crowley sails up side. One ball and no strikes to go. The on deck batter is Dan Grant.

371
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Next pitch is a call strike. One ball and one strike. Never put that aging veteran tag on Crowley.

372
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:45,000
He's been around so long that people think that he's up in years, but he's not. He's younger than Al Bumper. He's the same age as Singleton.

373
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch. Breaking pitch as well. Two balls and one strike to go.

374
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,000
And he's got more than a few productive years left.

375
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:04,000
2-1 delivery all the way to Crowley, and he did not check his swing on time. Two balls and two strikes to go.

376
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:14,000
There's a good chance that Crowley could be the regular designated hitter for the Orioles next year from the left side. That is barring a trade.

377
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:27,000
2-2 delivery fastball to the right side. Garcia makes a neat pick up. Throws to first in time. The throw is high, just high, but may very well hold on. Crowley goes down for three as did Lowenstein.

378
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
That will bring up Dan Grant.

379
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:45,000
That is 7th, the catcher, number 37, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a> hit his 12th home run of the year last night. That's the most for an Oriole catcher since <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-duncan/>Dave Duncan</a> hit 12 home runs back in 1975.

380
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Jackson Tide to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>. Here's the pitch. Ground ball foul down the first baseline. Three runs on four hits for the Blue Jays. One run off, one hit for the Orioles.

381
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:15,000
That was only the third home run of the season, the left field for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>. They play him to pull the ball in the right field usually. Here's the one strike pitch to Graham swinging out of it.

382
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Dan is batting 3-0-5 in his last 38 games, bringing his average up to 2-63 from 2-18. He has 36 RBIs in his last 37 games. Right now with two outs and nobody on, he's in the hole to Jackson Tide.

383
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Two strike delivery gets away from the catcher. So the count is one ball and two strikes. Graham is still alive. The sensei is on deck.

384
00:34:47,000 --> 00:35:02,000
The Blue Jays have lost 13 straight games here at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>. The last time they won, 2-0 victory. Typical <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a> game. He lost it to Dave Lemenchek.

385
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Pitch to Graham and he fouls it and it looks like it might have come off the leg of the catcher Witt, Ernie Witt. One ball and two strikes to go.

386
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Witt's going to stand up and shake it off and Palermo will probably take a little more time before he settles down behind the plate just to give Ernie time to try to shake it off.

387
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Palermo is the umpire behind the plate. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-clark/>Al Clark</a> is at first. Phillips is at second base and McCoy at third. One ball and two strikes to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>.

388
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Witt flashes the serve. Here's the pitch. Line drive, right field, that'll fall in for a base hit.

389
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Well in a 1-2 situation, the answer with the pitcher, but Graham just lines one off the right field for a base hit.

390
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Only the second or he'll hit of the night. Off of Jackson Tide.

391
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:13,000
DeSensei, 2-44 batting average, 12 home runs, 53 RBI. And he's a 375 hitter against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> this year.

392
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Graham takes the short lead at first base. Tom looks that way and here's the pitch to DeSensei. Swing and a miss and a ball with his way out of the strike zone.

393
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Melanger is on deck.

394
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:46,000
One strike pitch, ground ball to the left side. The high hop played by Griffin, the throw to second base is in time to cut down Graham on the fourth and end the inning.

395
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000
At the end of two innings of play, the score remains Toronto 3 Baltimore 1.

396
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-flyers/1980/overview/>Philadelphia Flyers</a> have been fined $5,000 by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NHL/1980/overview/>National Hockey League</a>.

397
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:03,000
The fine was levy because of the criticism by the Flyers of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NHL/1980/overview/>National Hockey League</a> officiating after the final game of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/nhl/1980/playoffs/>Stanley Cup</a> Series this spring.

398
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,000
In that series, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-islanders/1980/overview/>New York Islanders</a> defeated the Flyers 4-2.

399
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers may have a little bit of the New York Cosmos in them after all.

400
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Through the years, the Cosmos have resembled a long running soap opera, the shooting triangle of players, coaches, and upper management.

401
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:30,000
But this time around, Coach Heinies Weiswolder has resorted some sense of order to the Cosmos and have abandoned most of the melodrama.

402
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Fort Lauderdale, getting ready for Sunday's soccer bowl in Washington, has earned its share of theatrical credits this season.

403
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Coach Cor Vanderhart has openly quarreled with his players.

404
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:47,000
General Manager Bob Limahl has blamed Vanderhart for the team's erratic play, and that dispute had to be resolved by the owners.

405
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:58,000
But the Strikers finished the regular season with an 18-14 record and won three straight playoff series against California, Edmonton, and San Diego to win the American Conference.

406
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,000
The Detroit Giants have signed their number one draft choice this year. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-drew/>Larry Drew</a> who sticks to and weighs 180.

407
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:11,000
He played for Missouri where he set a career record for his fifth. No terms were announced.

408
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:24,000
The two main rivals for the number one ranking in men's tennis, Bjorn Borg of Queens and John McEnroe of the United States, will play in the Six-Man International Tournament in Milan, Italy, November 27th through the 30th.

409
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Well, among the fans in the stadium tonight, a group from Villa Julie College has pre-game ceremonies.

410
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:35,000
The students have presented a plaque to the Orioles expressing their support of the ball. Good idea.

411
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Big John lays it off Mayberry and Palmer's breaking pitch is high. One ball and no strikes to go.

412
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:53,000
John walks his first time up. Palmer works again and the change up is high. Two balls and no strikes to go.

413
00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:07,000
They play Mayberry to go to right field.

414
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Duo delivery, a fast ball is a call strike as it catches the letters just on the other portion of the plate.

415
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Palmer's next pitch, a fast ball is popped up to the left side. The sensei will make the play just behind the bag of thirds and Mayberry is out on a pop-up.

416
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:39,000
D. Braun, single to center field and drove in a run his first time up.

417
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:55,000
A 2-13 hitter. Mollsby is on deck. Palmer's pitch, a fast ball, is ball one. One ball and no strikes to go.

418
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Jim is right back again and he's out of the strike zone again. So Palmer is definitely having control problems here in Baltimore tonight.

419
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Palmer and it's fouled off to the left side.

420
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Two-one pitch is on the way and it's high again. Three balls and one strike to go.

421
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Braun gets away from Palmer and I think we'll see somebody get up on the bullpen again. Here's the three-one delivery, a call strike.

422
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Three balls and two strikes to go.

423
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Braun steps up.

424
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:00,000
What a great night for baseball in Baltimore. Wind is blowing right down the flagpole. Full-count pitch swings and a miss.

425
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:21,000
So Braun is a strike up and Mollsby comes up. He doubles down the line and right field his first time up, scoring two runs.

426
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Palmer now will look into Drain Graham for the side. Here comes the first pitch to voice.

427
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,000
It's high. When Palmer's been out of the strike zone tonight, usually he's been upstairs on occasion way upstairs.

428
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:39,000
One and all to come. The next pitch, and they popped him up out in the shallow center field.

429
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Langer is going back. Bumpery is coming in. Langer will give way to Bumpery. He makes the catch.

430
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:49,000
The Blue Jays are retired and the third at the end of two and a half score is Toronto three, Baltimore one.

431
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Thomas Hollywood Henderson is at liberty again. The controversial linebacker has been put on waivers by the San Francisco 49ers.

432
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Henderson signed with the 49ers this year after being cut by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/dallas-cowboys/1980/overview/>Dallas Cowboys</a>. That was following a dispute with Coach Tom Landry.

433
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:11,000
That batting race in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> has thinned out just a little bit.

434
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Templeton and St. Louis and Brooklyn and Chicago were just hundreds of a percentage point apart earlier in the week.

435
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:24,000
But Templeton now hitting 325. Buckner hitting 322. Heath Hernandez at St. Louis is at 318.

436
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Lakeland Bride of Philadelphia hitting at 314 and Cruz of Houston at 313.

437
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> of Kansas City who went two for three in the game against California Thursday is hitting 398.

438
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
And that ballgame involving Kansas City getting underway very shortly.

439
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Kansas City at home and hosting the Oakland A's where <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/brian-kingman/>Brian Kingman</a> will be on the mound for the A's and Paul Slytherin for Kansas City.

440
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
That game will be getting underway in about 15 minutes or so.

441
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cecil-cooper/>Cecil Cooper</a> of Milwaukee is next in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> at 355. Miguel Delaunay of Cleveland hitting at 349.

442
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-rivers/>Mickey Rivers</a> of Texas at 331 and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rod-carew/>Rod Carew</a> of California at 331.

443
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:14,000
You know for years the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> always had a higher batting average through the top eight or nine hitters.

444
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:21,000
But this year the lowest of the top five in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>, that's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rod-carew/>Rod Carew</a> of California at 331,

445
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:28,000
is hitting six points better than Templeton leading in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> at 325.

446
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Well we'd like to extend our very best yet well wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hitler who are both recouping for illnesses at Baltimore County Hospital.

447
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Yet well soon Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hitler, there are denorial fans, I know they're listening to that.

448
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:58,000
The Langer lead it off, the first pitch to mark is the ball, one ball and no strikes to go.

449
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,000
The Langer went three for four last night against the Tigers.

450
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a> and his next pitch to the Langer is ball two, two balls and no strikes.

451
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Todd's giving up two hits, a single to Bumbray, and a single to Dan Grant.

452
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Soon as we have a score out of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> in New York, Yankees and the Red Sox will pass it along to the Yankees.

453
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Soon as we have a score out of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> in New York, Yankees and the Red Sox will pass it along to you.

454
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Two-oh delivery to Blander and it's low, three balls and no strikes to come.

455
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Three-oh pitch to Blander, he was taking all the way and it's a called strike on the inside corner, three balls and one strike to come.

456
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Blander has looked up to Ripken to get the sign, let's see if they'll have the green light this time.

457
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Three-one pitch is on the way, here it is and it's a called strike, three balls and two strikes to come.

458
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Blander was taking all the way.

459
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
The mark will be followed by Bumbray and Dower.

460
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Three-two pitch, it's line foul, now towards the third base area by Cal Ripken.

461
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Thinking about Cal Ripken, young Cal who has finished the season in Charlotte, has been doing a little working out here at the park the past few days.

462
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Boy has he put on an awesome display and he hit the ball a ton.

463
00:45:51,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Tom Giordano said yesterday he hit 14 over the fence.

464
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Poke out to Blander.

465
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Six pitches high and inside a Blander walk.

466
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:21,000
That's the first walk given out by Jackson Tom and here comes Bumbray.

467
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Bumbray has singled in the first inning, no second base.

468
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Was advanced to third as Dower grounded off the score and has singled and grounded off to the right side, accounting for the Orioles only run on the night.

469
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Blander's at first. Here's the pitch to Bumbray, squares the button, it's foul, that's the third base line.

470
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Pretty nice gesture by Bumbray, picked up Ernie Witt's face mask, fell into the dirt, knocked Giordano and hit him back to it.

471
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:07,000
A few guys in this league that might step on it. Blander again with the lead at first.

472
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,000
One strike pitch and it's time for a ball and there was no indication of a bump that time by Bumbray.

473
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Again he'll look up to Cal Ripken to get the sign.

474
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Some years ago in this game Tom, a fellow would lean over and pick up the other guy's mask and hand it to him and probably would have been fine.

475
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Don't do anything at all to make his job easier, make him bend over and pick it up in his cell.

476
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:38,000
You know who feels that way, don't you? The fellow coaching up in first base, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-robinson/>Frank Robinson</a>.

477
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Here's the one-one pitch, it's ball two, two balls and one strike to Cal.

478
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Whenever Frank got hit by a pitch, he never charged the mound or anything like that. He'd dig in on him and on more than one occasion he'd go deep.

479
00:47:53,000 --> 00:48:00,000
The look to Blander at first, two-one pitch is on the way to Bumbray, fly ball well hit right field.

480
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Right field are going back, still going back, that one is gone.

481
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Now now Bumbray's home run to right center field. Blander will run third and he'll score.

482
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:33,000
And here comes Darrell Bumbray with his ninth home run of the year and we got a tight ball game.

483
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Well Bumbray has just felt it number nine into the seat.

484
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Three to three and now it's the batter. There's nobody else.

485
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Breaking pitch to Dower is high.

486
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,000
The on deck batter is single.

487
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:04,000
That matches Bumbray's career high home run. Nine, here's the next pitch to Dower and he fouls one back.

488
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:13,000
In 1976, now that nine-round difference.

489
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Three to three, three runs on four hits for the Blue Jays, three runs on three hits for the Orioles.

490
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:32,000
It's to Dower, fly ball center field, Bobby Blander has it measured.

491
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,000
What a year Bumbray has had. You have to sit down this year and vote for the most valuable Oriole player.

492
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:44,000
You're going to look very closely at Bumbray. You'll have to look very closely at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

493
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,000
And Steve So will be given some consideration.

494
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:56,000
So Dower is out on a fly ball to center field and that will bring up Singleton. He grounded out his first time up.

495
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Here's the first pitch to Kett. It's a called strike.

496
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Bumbray now has 183 hits. 17 more to reach the magic 200 number.

497
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Hitch to Singleton is lawed in. One ball one strike to count.

498
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:21,000
The club record is 194. That belongs to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/brooks-robinson/>Brooks Robinson</a>.

499
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,000
One-one pitch to Singleton. Swing and it looks like Singleton will try to get into the season as well.

500
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:32,000
One ball and two strikes to count.

501
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> is on deck.

502
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,000
We're back at square one.

503
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:44,000
A pitch to Singleton. Ryan Dyer left field base hit.

504
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Singleton goes to the opposite field.

505
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Ryan Dyer to left field. The inning started with the Lancer walk.

506
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Bumbray then went deep. Now he's out on a fly ball to center field.

507
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Now Singleton has singles. Here comes Eddie and you'll hear the chant.

508
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
I don't know if Eddie was pulling my leg or not today.

509
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
There's players in the clubhouse before the game.

510
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Eddie was talking about getting a new car.

511
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Nobody said he was going to get a Mercedes.

512
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Eddie said, no, and I said, Eddie, you're getting a new car?

513
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,000
He said, yeah. I said, what kind? He said a Rolls Royce.

514
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,000
I'll tell you what. When he signs a new contract, he could probably buy two.

515
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:35,000
I have a tendency to think he was pulling the old way car.

516
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
It's a three-three game. Singleton's at first base.

517
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
There's one out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>'s out.

518
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Murray was out on a fly ball. The left field was first time up.

519
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Now look to Singleton. Now Eddie will step out.

520
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Eddie is very methodical when he's up at the plate.

521
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,000
He'll step out after every pitch.

522
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Usually he'll walk to the front of the batting block.

523
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Again, the look to Singleton. Here's the pitch to Murray.

524
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,000
That's the ball. One ball and no strikes.

525
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,000
He'll kick a little dirt with one foot down the other.

526
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:10,000
He'll go back into the corner and kick the dust out of his baseball shoes before he'll step in again.

527
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,000
He does it after almost every pitch.

528
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,000
One out, delivery to Murray, and swings and fouls one back.

529
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Let's see if he does it now. There he goes, one foot down the other.

530
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
He'll go back into the corner of the batter's box.

531
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Takes the bat. See if he'll knock the dirt out again.

532
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
There he goes. Right foot down the left foot.

533
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Back to the right foot again.

534
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Not quite as bad as that fellow Mike Hardgrove at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1980/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a>.

535
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Next pitch to Murray and he fouls another one back.

536
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
And he'll go through the routine again.

537
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,000
He actually has time to get a fight to eat when Hardgrove is up.

538
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Lowenstein is the on-deck batter.

539
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,000
All knotted up to three a piece and he's trying to change that.

540
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Looks to single it in first.

541
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Here comes the one-two delivery.

542
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Fishes foul ball on the ground up to the first base side and into the seat.

543
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,000
The opposing pitchers are not too crazy about the time at any case to get ready.

544
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
I'll tell you, whatever he's doing, it's working.

545
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,000
One-two pitchers on the way to Murray.

546
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Swing and a miss.

547
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Strike three and Eddie's down on the stretch.

548
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Second out of the inning and that'll bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-lowenstein/>John Lowenstein</a>.

549
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
He grabbed it out on the first side.

550
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,000
The Orioles scored a run of the first inning.

551
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
And the Toronto's looking to bring it up and lead.

552
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Swing of the bat.

553
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Bumpery is nice on the run of the first five up here at the third.

554
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:53,000
And my good friend, the mayor of Vymontown, Bimmy DiPietro, has just come up to see us.

555
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Here's the first pitch to Lowenstein.

556
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Ground ball right side and it's going south.

557
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
One strike to count to Lowenstein.

558
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:14,000
You know, when you look at baseball's free agent market, boy, that's a way to build a team.

559
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Well, maybe not always.

560
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,000
At bat right now, Lowenstein.

561
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
What a job he's done for the Orioles.

562
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Picked up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-peters/>Hank Peters</a> for the $20,000 on a waiver truck.

563
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,000
In the on-deck circle, Jerry Crowley.

564
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,000
The Orioles did not have to sign a big check to get Jerry.

565
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Looked to burst the pitch to Lowenstein.

566
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Swing and a miss.

567
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Two strikes to count.

568
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-allen/>Eddie Allen</a> was done so well for the Orioles.

569
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Picked up from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1980/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> organization.

570
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,000
From the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1980/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> organization.

571
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Whip will flash the sign.

572
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Looked to burst the pitch.

573
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Two strikes to count to Lowenstein.

574
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Here's the next pitch to John Lloyd.

575
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Right center field made pitch.

576
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Singleton will hold up a second base.

577
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Will the Orioles stay alive here on the third of it?

578
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Singleton is now at second base.

579
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Lowenstein is at first.

580
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
And here comes the Crow.

581
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/terry-brown/>Terry Brown</a> without his first time up.

582
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
This summer, Terry had a baseball school that was held at

583
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,000
Mercy High School on off the Lock Raven football park.

584
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
And it was a major success.

585
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
I think he'll do it again next year.

586
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Brown is at first and second for the Crow.

587
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
And here's the pitch to count.

588
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Brown is at first and second for the Crow.

589
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,000
And here's the pitch to Crowley.

590
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,000
And it's a ball.

591
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
One ball and no strikes to count.

592
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,000
As the designated hitter, he bats 304.

593
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,000
And as the pitch hitter, considered probably one of the

594
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
best if not the best in the game.

595
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
He's batting 321.

596
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Lowenstein at first.

597
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Singleton second.

598
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Here's the one ball pitch to Crowley.

599
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
They pop him up at the shallow left field.

600
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,000
The left fielder comes on.

601
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Hudson puts the glove up and makes the catch.

602
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Crowley and the Orioles are down with a third, but not

603
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
before the Orioles come up with two runs at the end of three.

604
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Baltimore three and Toronto three.

605
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
This is Neil Dupree from American Entertainment Radio.

606
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
I'm George Engel.

607
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
The alarm is over around Damascus, Arkansas.

608
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
The people who live near the Titan missile site have gone

609
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
home again with assurance that everything's under control

610
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
after last night's fire and fuel explosion.

611
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000
The airport says no damage to the warhead, but ABC's John

612
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,000
McCrutty has learned it was close at best.

613
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,000
ABC News has learned that not only was there a five-megaton

614
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,000
nuclear warhead atop the Titan missile that caught fire last

615
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,000
night, but that when the fuel in the missile exploded, that

616
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,000
warhead was catapulted right out of the silo onto the ground

617
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000
nearby.

618
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Emergency Air Force teams determined that there was no

619
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,000
radioactivity around the warhead, and it was then moved

620
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
out of the missile site to an unknown location for further

621
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,000
examination.

622
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,000
John McCrutty, ABC News, the Pentagon.

623
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Reagan and Anderson are preparing for the debate while

624
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Reagan's campaign chief accuses the president of a dirty trick

625
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
by mentioning racism in connection with a GOP candidate.

626
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,000
The House today okayed two super funds for cleaning up oil

627
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
and chemical spills in America's waterways.

628
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,000
I'm George Engel, ABC News.

629
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Taking a look at the upcoming schedule for football games on

630
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
the parade of sports.

631
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:17,000
On Saturday, actually it'll be Sunday UTC, Sunday at 0-1-3-0.

632
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
I must give you the correct UTC time, Sunday at 0-0-3-0.

633
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
College football, 10 states at Texas A&M.

634
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Then on Sunday, the National Football League doubleheader

635
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,000
first came to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1980/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-lions/1980/overview/>Detroit Lions</a>,

636
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
and then the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-england-patriots/1980/overview/>New England Patriots</a> at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/seattle-seahawks/1980/overview/>Seattle Seahawks</a>.

637
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,000
And then the Monday night game, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-giants/1980/overview/>New York Giants</a> at

638
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Philadelphia.

639
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,000
The Phillies were defeated by the Cubs by a count of four to

640
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
three in some parts of Philadelphia.

641
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,000
The Pirates and the Mets were at it right out of Pittsburgh.

642
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:51,000
The Pirates scored the same count as the Orioles were in there.

643
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,000
My James behind the division leading <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/washington-nationals/1980/overview/>Montreal Expos</a>,

644
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,000
and they are now leading the Mets 2-0 at the end of two innings

645
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,000
of play.

646
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
We have not had any at all from New York.

647
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Others are back down to the Red Sox.

648
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,000
This is the first inning the Yankees have had.

649
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Okay, Tom.

650
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Thank you, Chuck.

651
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Bob Baylor is going to lead it off for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

652
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Three to three game as we go to the top of the fourth.

653
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Here's Ballmer's first pitch to Baylor.

654
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,000
There's the line drive to center field base hit Baylor.

655
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,000
So, an extra for the Blue Jays in the fourth of this three-three

656
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,000
game.

657
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hutchins/>Paul Hutchins</a> is now the better.

658
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Hutchins single his first time up for second.

659
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,000
The three Toronto runs coming in the first set.

660
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,000
The Orioles scoring one in the first and down eight twice in

661
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:39,000
the third.

662
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Hutchins single his first time up.

663
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Three runs on five hits for Baltimore.

664
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Three runs on five hits for Toronto.

665
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Ernie Winn is on deck.

666
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Ari Holden with the runner in first base.

667
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,000
There's the pitch to the right-handed batter.

668
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Eight players to butt at the goal front.

669
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,000
They're playing Hutchins straight away on left.

670
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:12,000
The ball is shaded to the left-field side and single

671
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
straight away in right-field.

672
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
If he goes to front again, Hollis will just look

673
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:21,000
about Baylor back to the back and first.

674
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Kenny will look that way.

675
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Here's the pitch and it's now back.

676
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Baylor has played every position for the Toronto Blue

677
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Jays this year with the exception of catcher and

678
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,000
first thing.

679
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
He's even pitched a few in.

680
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Not mistaken, he's been at three games in the pitcher.

681
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Two strikes to count to the batter, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hutchins/>Paul Hutchins</a>.

682
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:56,000
And he fouls another one back.

683
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Off-hitter has been at three games in the pitcher,

684
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
two in the third inning.

685
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
And he's giving up two runs on four hits.

686
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:09,000
There's a walk and no strikeout.

687
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Hudson is in the hole, two strikes to count.

688
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Palmer shakes off Dan Grant.

689
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Now he's ready to go to work.

690
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Here's the pitch and it's a called strike three.

691
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,000
A good change up from Palmer to Hudson.

692
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:32,000
And it's the fourth strikeout of the night for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

693
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Ernie Witt walks in the second inning.

694
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:50,000
With a left-handed batter, a dead full hitter to right field.

695
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:57,000
On deck now is Alfredo Griffith.

696
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Red Sox has failed to score in the first inning

697
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,000
in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> tonight.

698
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Here's the pitch to Ernie Witt.

699
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:08,000
It's a ball, one ball and no strikes to count.

700
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Ernie Witt once played with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1980/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> in 1975.

701
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> is up again with the Oriole Bullfeds.

702
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Throw to first and Baylor has jumped back in time.

703
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Baylor walked against Palmer in last Sunday's game.

704
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Stole a base and as Graham threw the ball away,

705
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000
went to third base and then scored on a sacrifice fly

706
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000
for the only other run off of Palmer

707
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000
besides the day-bury home run.

708
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Throw to first again and Baylor is back.

709
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Think about Palmer pitching in South Buck.

710
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,000
You think it was Saturday afternoon here at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>.

711
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000
Nationally televised game, Palmer loses to the Red Sox

712
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,000
going the distance.

713
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Again, the throw to first on the side.

714
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Jim lost that game one to nothing.

715
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,000
The only run scoring as a result of the Estremski doubles

716
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
on left field, actually it was the Blue's

717
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,000
that are playing Estremski to go to right.

718
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
They went to left field and that proved to be the only run

719
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
of the game for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1980/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a>.

720
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
That's where the team was healthy.

721
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Throw to first again and Bob Baylor is back.

722
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:21,000
At the end of one at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>,

723
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:28,000
there is no score in the game.

724
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,000
This time, Palmer just stares Baylor back to the bag

725
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,000
and which steps out.

726
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> is up for the second time

727
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,000
behind at the bullpen.

728
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,000
He was up for the first inning

729
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,000
and again here in the fourth inning.

730
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Again, Palmer looks to Graham.

731
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Now it looks to first.

732
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Here comes the one ball delivery.

733
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000
It's high and away.

734
01:02:47,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Two balls and no strikes to count.

735
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,000
A pitch and he fouls it back

736
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,000
until the count will go to two and one.

737
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,000
A night game tomorrow,

738
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,000
then the Blue Jays and the Orioles on Sunday afternoon.

739
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Then the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1980/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> move into town

740
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:21,000
for what could be three extremely important games.

741
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night.

742
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,000
The Orioles then will go on the road to Cleveland and Boston

743
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000
before returning home to close out the season

744
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,000
against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1980/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a>

745
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,000
on the third, fourth and fifth of October.

746
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,000
That's on the weekend.

747
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:42,000
Throw to first and Baylor's back again.

748
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,000
I tell you, Baylor at first base

749
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:49,000
is really nagging Palmer.

750
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Again the throw and Baylor's back.

751
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
I guess Jim just has a picture of Baylor

752
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,000
running down to second base on the stolen base last Sunday

753
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:05,000
then getting to third and scoring an unearned run.

754
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,000
There is one up, two and one on the count to Ernie Witt.

755
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,000
We'll get around to him one of these days.

756
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Another throw to first.

757
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Palmer may throw more balls to first in this inning

758
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:26,000
when he does the home plate.

759
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,000
You'll watch pitches finally on the way the runner goes.

760
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,000
There's Graham's throw to second base

761
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,000
and Baylor dives in safely with a stolen base

762
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,000
just ahead of the tag by Valencia.

763
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,000
You get the feel when the Palmer definitely knew

764
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,000
he was going to go two and two now to count to Witt.

765
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,000
That's the 11th and 12th stolen base

766
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:56,000
on the year for Bob Baylor.

767
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Two balls and two strikes to count to Ernie Witt.

768
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Baylor now at second base.

769
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> is standing,

770
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:11,000
observing every thing <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a> does very closely.

771
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Here's the 2-2 pitch, ground ball to the right side.

772
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Murray can't make a play on it.

773
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,000
It's down into a right field for the base hit.

774
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Baylor rounds third and he'll score the go-ahead run.

775
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,000
On a single to right by Ernie Witt that gets by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

776
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Baylor comes all the way home and now you know

777
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:32,000
why Palmer was so concerned about that runner at first base.

778
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,000
And here comes the skipper.

779
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> walks slowly to the mound.

780
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:44,000
And that could be it for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

781
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,000
And that is it for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

782
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Weaver decides to make the move as the Blue Jays

783
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,000
go up the front four to three.

784
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,000
The wall of this picture makes the state of the ball

785
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,000
much more pause for this message.

786
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Like Smith of Philadelphia, the leading home run hitter

787
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,000
in the major leagues with 39.

788
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-horner/>Bob Horner</a> of Atlanta, next with 33 in the national league.

789
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Mercy of Atlanta and Baker of Los Angeles, 29 each.

790
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,000
Veggie Jackson is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> home run leader with 37.

791
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Ogilvy of Milwaukee with 36.

792
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Thomas of Milwaukee with 35.

793
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,000
The RBI leader in the major league,

794
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Peter Cooper of Milwaukee with 112.

795
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Also in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>, Oliver of Texas with 106.

796
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Ogilvy of Milwaukee with 102.

797
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-schmidt/>Mike Schmidt</a> is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> RBI leader with 105.

798
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,000
Andric of St. Louis with 102.

799
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,000
And Garvey of Los Angeles with 97.

800
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,000
On the floor, Montreal is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>

801
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
stolen base leader.

802
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,000
He now has 92.

803
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/omar-moreno/>Omar Moreno</a>, Pittsburgh next at 88.

804
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Collins of Cincinnati with 69.

805
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Anderson of Oakland leads the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>

806
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,000
in stolen bases with 81.

807
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Jackson of Kansas City has 69.

808
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:57,000
And Delaunay of Cleveland has 55 stolen bases.

809
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Martinez.

810
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,000
From the Oriole bullpen in relief of starter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-pollard/>Jim Pollard</a>

811
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,000
comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>, former tonight,

812
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,000
three in the third, sixes.

813
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Two walks, four strikeouts, and four runs.

814
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,000
He's responsible for her.

815
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,000
He went over there at first base.

816
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,000
And from the bullpen comes the young right-hander,

817
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

818
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Martinez on the year for the Orioles

819
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:25,000
has had kind of an up and down sort of a year.

820
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,000
It started on the down side because he had shoulder

821
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,000
and arm problems.

822
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Man muddied for quite a little while.

823
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,000
And then as he got back in shape,

824
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,000
he seemed to pitch reasonably well.

825
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,000
And now in the late months of the season,

826
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,000
or weeks of the season, he has been assigned to the bullpen

827
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,000
because there's just no room in the starting rotation

828
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,000
for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

829
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,000
There are some fellows who can start

830
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,000
and come out of the bullpen.

831
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,000
And there are some fellows who find that that very difficult.

832
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,000
And it seems to be, as Dennis' case,

833
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,000
it's a little difficult for him to come out of the bullpen.

834
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,000
He has won five, lost four.

835
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,000
This is his 20th ballgame.

836
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,000
He's made 11 starts.

837
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,000
73 and two-third innings of work.

838
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,000
He has pitched to an earned run of 4.64.

839
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,000
Now one out, Toronto four, the Orioles three.

840
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Runner at first base is Ernie Witt.

841
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> will be the first batter to face <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

842
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,000
And we'll go right back to Tom Lahr.

843
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,000
Thank you, Chuck.

844
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> looking for his first hit on the line.

845
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,000
He's 0 for 2.

846
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,000
Runner at first base is Witt, and a fastball swing and a miss.

847
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Dennis had some good velocity on that one.

848
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:40,000
One strike to count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>.

849
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> in relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

850
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,000
The outfield is pretty well spread out against Griffin.

851
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Singleton is well off the line and right.

852
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,000
One strike pitch to Alfredo.

853
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Just misses one ball and one strike to count.

854
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Mullenstein straight away at shallow and left field.

855
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,000
And Bumbry has cut to the left field side against the switching ribbon

856
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,000
who is batting left-handed against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

857
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
One-one pitch from Dennis' slider.

858
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Swing and a miss.

859
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,000
One ball and two strikes to count.

860
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,000
At the end of an inning and a half, still no score.

861
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:25,000
The game between the Yankees and the Red Sox and Senway Park.

862
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Witt leads off first base.

863
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Dennis will gaze that way.

864
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Here comes the one-two delivery.

865
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Swing and a miss.

866
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Strike three.

867
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,000
I'll tell you, Dennis looks better against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>

868
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:41,000
than he did the entire day on Sunday in Toronto.

869
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,000
D'Amaso Garcia is up with two outs and a runner in first.

870
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Garcia, Singleton scored in the first inning

871
01:09:47,000 --> 01:10:00,000
and went down on strikes to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a> in the second.

872
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Garcia, right-handed hitter.

873
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Here's the pitch and he fouls it.

874
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:05,000
Fouls it into the box.

875
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,000
One strike to count.

876
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,000
The outfield is playing just about the same way

877
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:14,000
for D'Amaso Garcia as they did for the left-hander Griffin.

878
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Hollenstein is backed up a bit in left field.

879
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:22,000
He played Alfredo rather shallow.

880
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Garcia, two-eighty-two hitter, has some power.

881
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Four home runs and 44 RPIs.

882
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,000
He fouls one into the upper deck.

883
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,000
So the count will go to two strikes,

884
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:34,000
and the advantage in this situation is to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

885
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Graham now sets the sign and the target for Dennis.

886
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,000
He'll look to first base.

887
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Here comes the two-strike pitch.

888
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:57,000
The throw to second as the runner goes, and he's tagged out.

889
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,000
So that will retire the side as Ernie Witt is caught stealing.

890
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,000
And at the end of three and a half, the score is Toronto 4,

891
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Baltimore 3.

892
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-carlton/>Steve Carlton</a> of Philadelphia leads the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>

893
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,000
in pitching victories, 22-8.

894
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Jerry Royce of Los Angeles, Jim Bibbia of Pittsburgh,

895
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,000
next at 17-5.

896
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,000
And Nikro of Houston is at 16-12.

897
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,000
The winningest pitcher in the Major League,

898
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:26,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-stone/>Steve Stone</a> of Baltimore at 23-7.

899
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,000
John of New York at 21-8, North of Oakland at 20-8.

900
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bruce-sutter/>Bruce Sutter</a> of Chicago leads the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> in saves

901
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,000
with 26.

902
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Huma Cincinnati and Allen of New York have 22.

903
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,000
Fingers of San Diego has 21 saves.

904
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Dan Clusenberry of Kansas City is the Major League leader

905
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,000
in saves with 33.

906
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,000
Gossage of New York with 28.

907
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Palmer of Chicago with 27.

908
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,000
This is Friday, September 19th, stateside,

909
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:00,000
and on this date in baseball, in 1968,

910
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Danny McClain of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-tigers/1980/overview/>Detroit Tigers</a> became the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>'s

911
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,000
biggest winner since 1931 when he posted his 31st victory

912
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:10,000
of the season, a 6-2 decision over the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1980/overview/>New York Yankees</a>.

913
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Nicky Mantle of the Yanks cracked his 535th rear home run,

914
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,000
enabling him to move into third place on the all-time list.

915
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:25,000
So on this date in baseball, in 1968,

916
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-clippers/1980/overview/>San Diego Clippers</a> head coach <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-silas/>Paul Silas</a> announced his retirement

917
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,000
as a player Friday after 16 seasons and lost on three championship

918
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
teams in the NBA.

919
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:40,000
He said it was just too difficult to both coach and play.

920
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,000
Well, we're very happy to recognize the presence tonight

921
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,000
at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a> of the Golden Girls.

922
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,000
They're 12 of them.

923
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,000
They're from the Catonsville Recreation Council.

924
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,000
They're at the game.

925
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,000
They were the nine 10-year-old champions.

926
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,000
We're very happy to have them here tonight.

927
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Hope that they'll enjoy themselves and that they can come back again.

928
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,000
Howard Oaks, I know, is having a good time tonight.

929
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,000
Howard is from Catonsville.

930
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,000
He's here this evening with a number of his neighbors and friends

931
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,000
in the Schlitz Block in Section 6.

932
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,000
They are guests of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company.

933
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Okay, Tom.

934
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Well, Jack, with Mimi DiPietro, my guest tonight,

935
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,000
I might as well mention that the 15th District Democratic Club of Essex

936
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
is represented here tonight, 44 Strong.

937
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000
And they're wishing the Orioles well.

938
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
And the birds need to get something going right here.

939
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,000
They're down 4-3 as we go into the bottom of the fourth inning,

940
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:36,000
and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a> is going to lead it off.

941
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Graham's single his first time up to right field,

942
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:42,000
and the pitch to Dan is low, one ball and no strikes to come.

943
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,000
While I have Mimi here, I just want to remind you

944
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
that I know the season's going to be over soon,

945
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,000
and there are an awful lot of people coming into our town on weekends

946
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:53,000
throughout the course of the season to see the Orioles.

947
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,000
Here's the one-ball pitch to Graham.

948
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,000
High-fly ball off to right field, going to stay in the park.

949
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Moseby backing, makes the catch with one hand, and Graham is off.

950
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Even though the season will be over in a few weeks,

951
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,000
maybe a month or so if we happen to get into the playoffs of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/mlb/1980/playoffs/>World Series</a>,

952
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,000
I want you to take the opportunity if you live in Washington or Pennsylvania

953
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:17,000
or Delaware through the fall season to come to Baltimore just for a visit.

954
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,000
I'll tell you what we have done in the downtown area of this city

955
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,000
is recognized worldwide.

956
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,000
Here's the pitch to DeSensei.

957
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,000
Ground ball left side by Howell, a third out into left field.

958
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,000
Where a base hits, DeSensei rounds the bag at first, and he'll hold up.

959
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,000
DeSensei, set a scorching grounder to the left side.

960
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:39,000
Howell on a diving play, got the glove on it.

961
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:43,000
It then cams off to the right by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> out into left field

962
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,000
for DeSensei hits.

963
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:50,000
And the jewel of Baltimore City is the Inner Harbor Harbor play.

964
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,000
You owe it to yourself to come to our town on a weekend or at any time

965
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,000
just to take a look and see what has happened.

966
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,000
And remember, if you're coming to see the Orioles play,

967
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:05,000
make Baltimore part of your day, downtown Baltimore especially.

968
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,000
DeSensei is at first base, Villanger is up.

969
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Here's the pitch to Mark, and it's a call strike on a fastball.

970
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Villanger walks his first time up on the third inning.

971
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,000
Four to three, Toronto.

972
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,000
A look to DeSensei.

973
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Here's the pitch to Villanger, and it's a ball, one ball and one strike to come.

974
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Four runs on six hits for the Jays, three on six for the Orioles.

975
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,000
And a look to DeSensei, here's the one-one pitch, it's inside,

976
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:47,000
two balls and one strike to come.

977
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a> works very well against the Orioles last Sunday in Toronto,

978
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:58,000
giving up two runs and eight in the third inning, home runs by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

979
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:03,000
Here's the pitch to Villanger, ground ball over the head of the third baseman,

980
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Howell, who will make the fourth play on DeSensei.

981
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:11,000
He's trying to decide just a soft chopping ground ball to the left side of the mound.

982
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,000
It looked for a moment like <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> was going to come in to make the play,

983
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,000
but out of nowhere comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> to pick it up and throw out the lead runner.

984
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:30,000
So DeSensei is cut down and Villanger reaches on the fourth.

985
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,000
How bummer he is to the batter, he's two for two tonight.

986
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Singles stole the base and scored a run of the first inning and a two-run homer in the third.

987
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Villanger leads at first base with two outs.

988
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Here's the pitch to Bumbridge, where's the bump and he takes the pitch to tie,

989
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:57,000
one ball and no strikes to come, now or is on deck.

990
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Two completed, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>, no score on the game.

991
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:07,000
Villanger goes at first base, here's the throw, Mark slides and he's safe.

992
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Villanger steals the base and that's number six on the year for Mark.

993
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:22,000
So Villanger, the tie run, is now in scoring position at second.

994
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:29,000
The count now to Bumbridge, two balls and no strikes.

995
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Villanger takes a bit of a breather at second base.

996
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:38,000
Bumbridge steps back in, Villanger with the lead at second.

997
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Cobb to look to second base, here comes the two-oh pitch to Bumbridge,

998
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:57,000
a tie ball free on a breaking pitch, three balls and no strikes to come.

999
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Bumbridge with again will set the target after he gives the sign.

1000
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Villanger at second, three-oh delivery to Bumbridge, he was taking all the way,

1001
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,000
the pitch is flowing in and now walks.

1002
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:14,000
So the Orioles got a bit of a fire going here on the fourth inning with two outs.

1003
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Bumbridge been aboard every time he's been up tonight.

1004
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:23,000
Rams start at the inning, he was out on a fly ball to right field, a sensei,

1005
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:31,000
he's single, he went to Dower tonight, has grounded out,

1006
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,000
has been out on a fly ball to center field.

1007
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,000
Here's the first pitch to Dower, one ball to Cobb.

1008
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:42,000
The sensei was cut down on the fours, Villanger reached, and now Bumbridge is one.

1009
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Single in the on-deck batter, one ball and no strikes to Cobb to Rich Dower.

1010
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:54,000
The runners at first and second, a pitch to Dower and it almost cut away from the catcher

1011
01:18:54,000 --> 01:19:03,000
so the count goes to two and oh.

1012
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:07,000
With runners in scoring position this year, Dower, a fellow at the plate,

1013
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:13,000
is batting three-forty-six, forty-four to one-twenty-seven.

1014
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Villanger at second and Bumbridge at first, good speed on the bases, two and oh the count to Dower.

1015
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Here comes the next pitch to Dower, face hit left field, Villanger's around third,

1016
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:28,000
Villanger is headed home, here comes the throw, Villanger hits the home plate safely,

1017
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:33,000
and it's a fly ball game at four-four.

1018
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Now Dower does it again, ties the game up, a face hit to left field.

1019
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:48,000
And I want to tell you, Villanger was flying around that bank at third.

1020
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:53,000
He didn't slide.

1021
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:57,000
And it's a four-four game, and as we mentioned to you a moment ago,

1022
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:02,000
it's a three-forty-six batting average for Dower with runners in scoring position.

1023
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Well, up that little more now.

1024
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Can't single him a batter. Here comes Dennis Menke, pitching coach for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

1025
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,000
He's walking slowly out to the mound, there is activity.

1026
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Schraub is up and working, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-mirabella/>Paul Mirabella</a>, Schraub and Mirabella,

1027
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:31,000
are working in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> bullfist.

1028
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:35,000
Dower is tying up with two outs.

1029
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:42,000
Dower is single to left field, and now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a> is a batter.

1030
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Singleton grabbing out his first time up, and single to left field, opposite field, single his next time up.

1031
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,000
And you just kind of have the feeling that sometime real soon,

1032
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a> is going to have them ducking in the bleachers.

1033
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Dower is at second base, and Dower is at first.

1034
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Four-to-four game.

1035
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Here's the pitch to Singleton, and it's a ball-one.

1036
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:20,000
One ball and no strikes to count. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> is on deck.

1037
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,000
One-all delivery is on the way to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a> with a called strike,

1038
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:34,000
a change-up from Jackson's side.

1039
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:39,000
The runners are first and second. Singleton awaits the one-one pitch, and it's high.

1040
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Two balls and one strike to count.

1041
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Four runs on six hits for Toronto, four on seven for the Orioles.

1042
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,000
Dower and Bumrey with their lead.

1043
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:57,000
Here's the two-one delivery to Singleton.

1044
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,000
Line drive center field is going to be a base hit.

1045
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,000
Bumrey is around third. Bumrey is headed home.

1046
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:07,000
And Bumrey is in with the go-ahead run, and Dower slides into third base, and he's out.

1047
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:11,000
That third base tag-down by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> is going to be a beef.

1048
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,000
It looked like a fairly good call, but the Orioles score the go-ahead run.

1049
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:21,000
So at the end of four innings of play, the score is Baltimore five and Toronto four.

1050
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:31,000
Talking about a beef on that play, one of the television stations in Washington sent a camera crew up to Baltimore to do a feature story on umpires.

1051
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,000
And it so happened they had Bill Haller's umpiring crew mic.

1052
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,000
They had microphones, wireless microphones, on the umpires.

1053
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:44,000
And as luck would have it for that television crew, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> was ejected for about the third or fourth time of the season.

1054
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:50,000
But there was probably about 32 bleeps in the two-and-a-half minutes of the discussion.

1055
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:57,000
But the interesting part of it is, and if you have ever umpired before and you've gotten into a serious dispute on a play, I think you will agree with me,

1056
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:07,000
usually what happens is a very small part of the entire discussion, which was involving a lot of shouting on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a>'s part.

1057
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:14,000
But a lot of that discussion very little bit revolves around the actual play, which is a bock call made by the first base umpire Bill Haller.

1058
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,000
But I can tell you what was discussed.

1059
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:22,000
First of all, it was discussed that Weaver thought that Haller's crew was out to get the Orioles.

1060
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Then I think the discussion went to whether or not <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> would make the Hall of Fame.

1061
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:31,000
They discussed whether or not Weaver had a winning record as a manager.

1062
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Weaver pointed out that he didn't, that Haller didn't even know anything about baseball.

1063
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Then I think it got back to the fact that Weaver thought Haller's crew was out to get him, and the fact that tomorrow night,

1064
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,000
now this is not this game, but it was the game played yesterday,

1065
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:50,000
that Haller would even have a better chance to get the Orioles because he'd be working the plate.

1066
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:57,000
Haller's took two and a half minutes or so and nothing after the first comment involved that bock call.

1067
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:03,000
So when they go out there, chances are they're not even talking about what the call was that started the dispute.

1068
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:10,000
But I'll tell you what, it was quite a show, and some poor tape editor probably spent half the afternoon cutting all the profanity out.

1069
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,000
But it was quite a show, I'll tell you.

1070
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:20,000
D'Amato Garcia lead off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> as they go to the top of the fifth inning.

1071
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:24,000
And the first pitch is a called strike on a good-looking vendor from Dennis.

1072
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:28,000
One strike to count to D'Amato, who has singled and gone down on strikes tonight.

1073
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:32,000
That call at third base as we looked at it on the replay.

1074
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,000
It looks like a pretty good call from up here at first.

1075
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:39,000
I'll tell you, it was a very close call, and Weaver and Dar may have had a piece.

1076
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:45,000
Another vendor in there for a called strike, two strikes to count.

1077
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:52,000
But if it was a bad call, and you spend a lot of time talking about bad calls, that's a definite sign that you're not in first place leading the division.

1078
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:58,000
Two strikes to count to Garcia.

1079
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,000
How is the on-deck batter?

1080
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,000
First lead at five to four.

1081
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:10,000
A ground ball foul on the left side over into the Oriole dugout.

1082
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,000
Into the bottom of the third inning in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>.

1083
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,000
There's still no score on the game.

1084
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:20,000
And at Kansas City tonight, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-wilson/>Willie Wilson</a> has stolen his 29th consecutive base in the first inning.

1085
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> had to sacrifice five to drive in a run.

1086
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:31,000
George is only batting three ninety-eight.

1087
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,000
The fastball is fouled off to the right side.

1088
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:37,000
They say <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-jackson/>Reggie Jackson</a> has been in kind of a bad mood lately.

1089
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:44,000
One of the things that has Reggie in a bad mood is that slowly dawning on Reggie, that despite the great gear that he's having,

1090
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> might wind up the most valuable player.

1091
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> and Jim Frye conferred by phone yesterday.

1092
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,000
Earl from his office here at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>.

1093
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,000
Two strike pitch, ground ball off to George Blanger.

1094
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:03,000
George, he's up with it on the short hop, right with the phone on first base, and Garcia's off six-three.

1095
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Earl called Jim Frye to congratulate him on winning the title of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> West.

1096
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:09,000
The two had a very nice conversation.

1097
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,000
They remain very close friends.

1098
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:17,000
And finally, Jim Frye said, well, to tell you the truth, Earl, I've only been working with a couple of players this year.

1099
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:22,000
I've been spending most of my time giving instructions to Brett and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-wilson/>Willie Wilson</a>.

1100
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,000
And it cracked both men up.

1101
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,000
I'll tell you, those two would make a lot of guys that couldn't manage him.

1102
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:29,000
Here's the pitch to Howell.

1103
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:34,000
A fastball is a called strike.

1104
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Let's knock on wood.

1105
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Dennis appears to have it tonight.

1106
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:42,000
He didn't have it last Sunday in Toronto.

1107
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,000
Change-up is knocked foul off the first base line.

1108
01:26:46,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Dennis came into the game for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a> in the fourth inning.

1109
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Two-strike pitch, and it's high.

1110
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:13,000
One ball and two strikes to count.

1111
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Martinez works again.

1112
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,000
There's a ground ball up the middle into center field for a base hit.

1113
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Just out of the range of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mark-belanger/>Mark Belanger</a> charging over towards the bag from short.

1114
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,000
So Howell has the first hit off of Martinez.

1115
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,000
Single to center field, and here comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>.

1116
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Walks and scored a run on the first inning and pops up his sixth time out.

1117
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Good power as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>.

1118
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:49,000
Here's the pitch to him, and it's a called strike.

1119
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:53,000
One strike to call, Mayberry.

1120
01:27:53,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Twenty-six home runs this year, and he's hit 21 or more home runs in eight of the last nine seasons.

1121
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Howell was the runner at first base.

1122
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
The Martinez pitch is a called strike, too.

1123
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,000
Looks like a good breaking pitch from Dennis.

1124
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Mayberry kind of talking to himself as he's in the hole with one out, a runner at first base.

1125
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Two strikes to count.

1126
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:18,000
The on-deck batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-brown-browst21/>Steve Brown</a>.

1127
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Five to four Orioles.

1128
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,000
Dennis will look into <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>.

1129
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,000
He'll steer over to first base.

1130
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:31,000
Two-strike pitch is on the way, and it bounces in front of Graham out towards <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>

1131
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,000
and the runner will hold him.

1132
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Now, Steve Palambo wants to take a look at that baseball.

1133
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,000
He's going to take it out of the game, and Dennis will get a do-it.

1134
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Some controversy among the Orioles about the baseballs they've been getting.

1135
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:48,000
One baseball, their maiden Haiti, has one dot, and another baseball has, I think, four or five dots.

1136
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:53,000
It seems like the ones with four or five dots fly out of the ballpark.

1137
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,000
The ones with one dot seem to stay in a bit more.

1138
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,000
Here's the one-two delivery to Mayberry, and it's a ball.

1139
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,000
Two balls and two strikes to count.

1140
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,000
The Orioles were in Toronto.

1141
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:08,000
The Blue Jays had nothing but those five-dot or four-dot baseballs, and they were flying out.

1142
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:16,000
It seems the Orioles seem to be getting most of the one-dot delivery to them here at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>.

1143
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Here's a pitch to Mayberry.

1144
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Swing and miss, and he goes down on the rank.

1145
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,000
A second strike-off for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

1146
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:32,000
The designated hitter, Steve Robb, is the best.

1147
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:38,000
Now the dot on the baseball indicates the plant or the particular machine that does the sowing.

1148
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:44,000
It's not all done by the same machine.

1149
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,000
A look to Berth.

1150
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,000
Here's a pitch to the designated hitter.

1151
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,000
Oh, one ball and no strikes.

1152
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:56,000
If the ball flies out of the park for one team, it's going to fly out of the park for the other team as well.

1153
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,000
One ball and no strikes to count to Brawn.

1154
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,000
How is it first thing?

1155
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,000
The Martinez fastball is a call strike.

1156
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,000
He burned one in.

1157
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,000
One ball and one strike to count.

1158
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:12,000
I wouldn't be surprised if the velocity on the fastball of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> is right up there near the 90s tonight.

1159
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:19,000
It might be the best of the year for Dennis.

1160
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,000
One-one pitch is on the way, and a change-up is low.

1161
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Two balls and one strike to count.

1162
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Two outs, the Orioles lead it five to four.

1163
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,000
The on-deck batter is Lloyd Mosby.

1164
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:45,000
Two on-pitch is ball three, three balls and one strike to count.

1165
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:50,000
While Brawn is only hitting 213 all the year, he's hit 316 in 30 games since joining the Blue Jays.

1166
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Here's a pitch to Steve and his tie for a ball.

1167
01:30:54,000 --> 01:31:01,000
So the tying run goes to second base, and the go-ahead run, the first base on the walk, given up by the McArthur team.

1168
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,000
The first is coming on for Brawn. Here comes Lloyd Mosby.

1169
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Double in two runs in the first inning, and was out on a fly ball to center field his next time, up in the third inning.

1170
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:17,000
Mosby, our left-handed batter, and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> people have high hopes for this young batter.

1171
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,000
I tell you, when you look at Lloyd, he just looks like a baseball player.

1172
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:28,000
Got a good feel. Swings a pretty good batter.

1173
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,000
And now, the grand is going to go out and have a few words with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

1174
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:35,000
There are two outs. Brawn is the runner at first base, and Powell is at second base.

1175
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,000
Five to four, the Birds lead it.

1176
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:43,000
They're into the third inning at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>, and there's no score on that game.

1177
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:49,000
A Yankee loss tonight, combined with an Oriole win, and the Birds can fold it within four.

1178
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:54,000
The Yankees keep trying to brick up the tunnel in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> East, and the Orioles keep knocking holes in it,

1179
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:59,000
and they can see a little light down at the other end.

1180
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:05,000
The runners at first and second.

1181
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Mosby awaits the pitch from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

1182
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:11,000
It's on the way, ground ball. A big chopper right back to Dennis.

1183
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:14,000
He feels it neatly in the photo first in time.

1184
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,000
Mosby and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> are retired at the end of four and a half.

1185
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:20,000
The score is Baltimore 5, Toronto 4.

1186
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:27,000
The front running <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/washington-nationals/1980/overview/>Montreal Expos</a> in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>'s East Division.

1187
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:36,000
Winter's Tale was scratched from Saturday's $217,000 Woodward stakes because of, let's see, why exactly did they do it?

1188
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Well, the scratches may be because the trainers of Dr. Patches and Tamper and Sill had to reevaluate their positions

1189
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:48,000
with the outside possibility that both Dr. Patches and Tamper and Sill will be scratched.

1190
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:54,000
The Spectacular Bid could go post-word at the anticipated 520 Eastern Daylight Time starting time Saturday.

1191
01:32:54,000 --> 01:33:01,000
In that event, there would be no paramutual betting, and Spectacular Bid's owners would automatically pick up the winner's share.

1192
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:08,000
However, horsemen at Belmont Park believe that either Dr. Patches and Tamper and Sill or both will leave the starting gate with Spectacular Bid,

1193
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:17,000
and they feel that it's unlikely that both Jan Nehru, Dr. Patches' trainer, and Joe Kady, Tamper and Sill's conditioner, would permit that walkover.

1194
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:25,000
Well, if you're a <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-steinbrenner/>George Steinbrenner</a> agent, you better get on the phone to Tampa or New York or down to the Yacht or the Dock.

1195
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:29,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-mirabella/>Paul Mirabella</a> has come into the game for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

1196
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Mirabella was announced as a starter against the Orioles in the first game in Toronto.

1197
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Steinbrenner had the effuntery to call the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> president and complain that the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> weren't trying against the Orioles.

1198
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:51,000
And that set off a surge of reaction in Toronto. Everybody was upset. Mirabella worked alright.

1199
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:57,000
He went a day and two thirds, getting up six hits in four runs. He walked seven and struck out three.

1200
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:02,000
So Mirabella is in the game for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> is up. Chuck?

1201
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:06,000
Alright, Tom, thank you very much and good evening, everybody. Here is Murray.

1202
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:14,000
Lowenstein Crowley on the three-o to face the south ball, Mirabella, in the bottom of the fifth, Baltimore five at Toronto four.

1203
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:21,000
And the Fortsiders first offering to Murray, ground ball, sharp to hit third base side, off the glove of the diving third baseman, into foul territory.

1204
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:32,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> has reached with a hit off the glove of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a>. He dozed toward the foul line, touched the ball to third territory, and tarred off the glove into foul territory.

1205
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:40,000
And he has reached for the base hit. And now rather than <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-lowenstein/>John Lowenstein</a>, it's going to be Gary Renneke.

1206
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Number 35. Renneke will bat for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-lowenstein/>John Lowenstein</a>. And Renneke's kind of fallen on tough times.

1207
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:53,000
He's had just three hits in his last 34 at bat, dating back to the 29th of August.

1208
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,000
And he would love nothing better than to break out of it, kind of get hot.

1209
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Over the last two weeks of the year, the pitch is a little inside to Renneke. Ball one.

1210
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:14,000
On the year, Renneke is hitting 249. Murray with a pretty good lead at first. The pitch, the change, breaking ball, again, is low inside.

1211
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:20,000
The count now, two balls for belt strikes. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> has reached on a base hit off the glove of third base and roll.

1212
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Marabella four wins, 11 losses on the year. Renneke, big strapping right-handed swinger, stands right in on top of the plate as Marabella sets the draws.

1213
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:37,000
Here's the strike call by the guy doing that job, Steve Palermo.

1214
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Denny Ayala is now in the on-deck circle to bat for designated hitter, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/terry-crowley/>Terry Crowley</a>.

1215
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:56,000
Marabella ready to work. He checks the lead of Murray. His 2-1 pitch to Renneke. Ground ball foul off the third base side and it's two balls, two strikes.

1216
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Blue Jays are here again tomorrow night at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>. Hope that you can be here.

1217
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:08,000
7.30 is game time. And then they'll wind up Sunday afternoon. Now, tomorrow night, a very big night.

1218
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-stone/>Steve Stone</a> will try for win number 24 once again. The 2-2 to Renneke. Marabella throws. Here's the foul out of play for the messages.

1219
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Stone with an absolutely magnificent year of 23-7. He goes against Dave Steeve. Steeve is one of the very promising young right-handers on this Toronto staff.

1220
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Sunday afternoon, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-flanagan/>Mike Flanagan</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-clancy/>Jim Clancy</a> another, then the pitch. Look out, it's hit Renneke in the middle of the back. A breaking ball driving in.

1221
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:47,000
On Renneke, he turned and darted out of the way, but was not quick enough to avoid the pitch. So down to second base goes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

1222
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Renneke is hit by the pitch. And to the plate now will come Denny Ayala. And here is Rex Barney's announcement.

1223
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:02,000
For the Orioles, that's number 25. Number 27 is Denny Ayala.

1224
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Denny Ayala is hitting 282. And the first word from the Yankees in a little while is that the Yankees have scored a run at the bottom of the third.

1225
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:20,000
Yankees won. Lost to nothing at the end of three innings of play. And now let's watch Ayala.

1226
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:30,000
Oriole runners at first and second and nobody out. The set of the pitch to Ayala he darted and then held back. A ball is blown outside.

1227
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:38,000
Murray, the lead runner at second base. Renneke, the runner at first base. Both of those big guys are pretty darn good runners.

1228
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Now the one-uping pitch. Mirabella checks the lead of Murray. Now throws. Here's a ball two high and outside.

1229
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Repeating the Yankees won. Lost to nothing. They have completed three. Renko against Teahawks tonight.

1230
01:37:54,000 --> 01:38:03,000
And the Red Sox are without their stellar star of so many years, Carl Jastremski, who has hung it up for the year.

1231
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:07,000
Now the two-nothing. Hold on a minute. Ayala requests time. And backs out of there.

1232
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:17,000
And I see now that Ernie Witt is talking to the plate up by our Steve Palermo about Ayala being out of the box.

1233
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:23,000
Drawing a line where Ayala can stand and then just scratch it out and move right in on top of it.

1234
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Two faults and no strikes. Mirabella's pitch to Ayala. Hold on a minute. Time is called. The pitch will not count.

1235
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Now Palermo I guess is going to go back and Witt is still complaining that Ayala is not in the box.

1236
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:47,000
And now Palermo is laying it on Witt right now. And Witt is giving it back to Palermo.

1237
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:51,000
Witt just apparently made a complaint that Ayala was not in the box.

1238
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:57,000
And Palermo lined the box out again and told Ayala to get in there. Here comes Maddux now, the manager of the Blue Jays,

1239
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:04,000
to try and protect his catcher Ernie Witt. And Palermo after outlining the box and okaying Ayala's position,

1240
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:10,000
apparently got another word or two from Ernie Witt and he said, now look, that's enough.

1241
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:18,000
And everything is okay and we're back to the action of the ballgame. The two-ball, no strikes, pitch to Ayala.

1242
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:27,000
Now we get second base running to get first. The Toronto left-hander draws. Swing and a miss. Strike one, two-all.

1243
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Mirabella peers for the sign, flashed by Ernie Witt. And here is the two-one offering to the waiting Ayala.

1244
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:49,000
Swing and a miss. Hard break and stuff and I'll tell you something, Mirabella really turned that loose.

1245
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:56,000
Two balls, two strikes to Ayala. What a heck of a pitch to Mirabella just now.

1246
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:00,000
Howell at third. Shortstop and now Frito rips at the second base.

1247
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:06,000
And it's Demasto Garcia, the fourth, May Darien first around the Toronto infield. Two-two-pitch, Stucky,

1248
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:14,000
swing and a miss and Ayala goes down. Mirabella reached back as they would say and got whatever extra he needed to strike out

1249
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:18,000
Denny Ayala for the first out here in this fifth inning.

1250
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:28,000
And the new batter now was to have been <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>, but rather than <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>, manager <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> is coming with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>.

1251
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:37,000
Dempsey will bat for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dan-graham/>Dan Graham</a>. Between Graham and Dempsey, what a job they have done for the Orioles this year.

1252
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Dempsey brings with him a batting average of 264. He's in eight home runs and knocked in 38.

1253
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:56,000
Graham, of course, has his 12 home runs. That's a total of 20 home runs.

1254
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:04,000
And 85 runs batted in between Dempsey and Graham in 550 at bat.

1255
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:08,000
Now here is Dempsey.

1256
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:20,000
The Toronto left-hander, Mirabella is ready. He throws, drag, rips over the inside corner of the knees to the looking depth.

1257
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:31,000
Well, three pitch hitters, one right after the other. Renneke hit by the pitch, Ayala struck out and now Dempsey.

1258
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:38,000
And the one strike pitch to the waiting Rick, no, Mirabella just backs off the rubber and Murray checks back toward the bag.

1259
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:43,000
Five runs, nine hits to the Orioles, four runs, seven hits to the Blue Jays.

1260
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:51,000
And the pitch to Dempsey. He hits a little outside, one ball, one strike.

1261
01:41:51,000 --> 01:42:01,000
Even straight away down in the left field corner is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a>, the center fielder Bobby Baylor. It's a fifth toward the alley in left center and pretty deep.

1262
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:06,000
And well off the line in right field toward the alley in right center is Lloyd Mosby.

1263
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:11,000
One out and the one-one pitch on the way to Dempsey.

1264
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:21,000
Here it is. Frank calls one ball, two strikes now to Dempsey and I'll tell you, Mirabella threw some pitches to Ayala that were just flat out looked unhittable.

1265
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:27,000
And the last pitch he threw to Dempsey was about as hard as I've seen anything thrown here tonight.

1266
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,000
He really turned it loose.

1267
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Now the one-two offering.

1268
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:44,000
The set by Mirabella and the pitch to Dempsey. Outside for a ball, he kind of pulled the spring just a little. Two balls, two strikes.

1269
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:54,000
The remarks made by Mr. Steinbrenner about Mirabella and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>, you know, taking it easy on the Orioles was insulting to the Blue Jays ball club as a whole.

1270
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:58,000
And particularly galling to the young left-hander we're watching right now, Mirabella.

1271
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:06,000
Here goes the pitch's swing and a miss and Dempsey goes down and strikes an off-speed breaking ball. Back-to-back strikeout.

1272
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:14,000
It looked as though maybe <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> was on his way. He made a good ball start for the second base and then quickly breaks.

1273
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:24,000
So Mirabella, after giving up an infield hit to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> and then hit Renegi with a pitch, has fanned pinch-hitter Ayala and also fanned pinch-hitter Dempsey.

1274
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:37,000
And now, Doug DeSensei. DeSensei, going into tonight's ball game, has hit 375 against Blue Jays pitching. And Doug tonight is one for two.

1275
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Mirabella's pitch to DeSensei. Swing and a ground ball. Slowly hit down the first base line. The second base and gets to it.

1276
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:49,000
Quick throw to first. It's been time to get Dempsey, or rather DeSensei, and the inning is over.

1277
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:59,000
No runs on the base hit. Two men are left out and it's the end of five innings of play in Baltimore tonight. It's the Orioles 5, Toronto 4.

1278
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:06,000
The ON Australia rallied in the final leg to win the second America's Cup race against Freedom.

1279
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:12,000
The Australian victory means the best of seven series against the United States yard is now tied at one race apiece.

1280
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:20,000
The victory is the first for a Cup challenger in ten years. It came after Australia trailed Freedom by two to three phone lengths at the final mark.

1281
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Australia led throughout much of the race, but the Dennis Connor led Freedom caught the Australian on the fourth leg and passed it after the decide rounding the fourth mark.

1282
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:38,000
And Illinois State Appellate Court ruled that the University of Illinois quarterback <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/david-wilson-wilsda01/>David Wilson</a> is eligible to play in Saturday's game against Missouri.

1283
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:42,000
The ruling came some 20 hours before kickoff at Columbia, Missouri.

1284
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:50,000
It overturned Wednesday's ruling by an Illinois Circuit Court judge, which had left Wilson ineligible for the Big Ten football contest.

1285
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:57,000
Hey, for you people listening in the American Forces Network area, Germany, know that big bowling alley you got over there in Mannheim?

1286
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Well, I guess there's a little bit of flap going on about that.

1287
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:09,000
I just have a story here that says the report by the U.S. Comptroller General criticized the Pentagon for building a two point four million dollar bowling alley in West Germany.

1288
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:14,000
Apparently that bowling alley is larger than authorized, but not to worry.

1289
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:21,000
One of the spokesmen over there says that the grant came from profits from post exchanges and other installations.

1290
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:24,000
He says, hey, that thing is being used 24 hours a day.

1291
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:27,000
He says we have enough as we can handle over there.

1292
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:31,000
Enjoy that bowling alley on the scoreboard.

1293
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:32,000
There's a word from Kansas City.

1294
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> has sacrificed flying his first time at bat.

1295
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:43,000
Whether Wilson is twenty ninth consecutive stolen base that has left an <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> stolen base record.

1296
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:47,000
Here are the Blue Jays, the top of the sixth inning Bob Baylor leads off.

1297
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,000
He's one for two and swing the foul into the upper deck and out of play strike one.

1298
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,000
Now the pinch hitting of Dempsey keeps him in the ballgame.

1299
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:57,000
The catcher likewise Renneke saves the game.

1300
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,000
Now the left fielder Renneke and left Dempsey now catching.

1301
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:04,000
Couple of changes made by skipper <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> on the bottom of the fifth inning.

1302
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> in relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

1303
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:13,000
The one strike pitch to Baylor, a good looking breaking ball just a little outside on the count of the ball and the strike.

1304
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:20,000
Baylor Natalie has a hit tonight, but a stolen base and a run score.

1305
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Now the one to one offering, a strike to call great looking breaking ball again from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

1306
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:37,000
Baylor hits out of a very pronounced open stand, but he does kind of strive right towards the mound.

1307
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:41,000
And the one to pitch to Baylor, pops him up right in the middle of the infield coming down the line.

1308
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:45,000
Dowell and LeShore everybody, all four infielders, now they give way to Ballanger.

1309
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:49,000
And he had an ice cream cone that almost got away from him.

1310
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:56,000
Everybody with the exception of pitcher Martinez charged into the pop up and Ballanger made the catch right behind the mound.

1311
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:01,000
The Red Sox won, the Yankees won in the bottom of the fourth inning.

1312
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:09,000
Now here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a>, this young man started as an infielder a lot of times.

1313
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:14,000
He also had to undergo shoulder surgery and he is a native of Canada.

1314
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:21,000
He's waiting in a bit for the breaking ball from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

1315
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:26,000
The ball was born in Montreal in Quebec.

1316
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,000
Now the one strike pitch, here's a fly ball well hit deep left field.

1317
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:33,000
Renneke going back right at the wall, leads the score.

1318
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:38,000
Home run Hodgson and the Blue Jays decide the ball game.

1319
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:46,000
And I think this will be his first major league home run.

1320
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:59,000
That's exactly right and it will tie the game Hodgson with his first major league home run.

1321
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:03,000
Five-five Toronto on the Orioles at the top of the sixth inning.

1322
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Now it's been that way since the very first inning when Toronto scored three against starter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

1323
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:15,000
The Orioles came back with one in the bottom of the first inning and then tied it with two in the bottom of the third.

1324
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:24,000
Now the pitch is a little bit high for the left-handed batter, Ernie Wythe.

1325
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Toronto took a four-three lead in the top of the fourth inning only to have the Orioles take a five-four lead in the bottom of that fourth inning.

1326
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:33,000
Now it's tied up again.

1327
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,000
Five-five, swinging a fly ball toward the gap right center.

1328
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:41,000
Bumbree is there, coasting over now with center fielder next to Tass for the second out of the inning.

1329
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,000
Two down.

1330
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,000
And here comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>, the switch hitter.

1331
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,000
And he is all for three tonight.

1332
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:56,000
Fly to center, reached out of field of choice, struck out.

1333
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:01,000
The Yankees are also tied. They're 1-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning in New York.

1334
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:07,000
Here in Baltimore it's 5-5.

1335
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Now the Martinez pitch to Alfredo.

1336
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:19,000
A little low on outside, ball one.

1337
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:26,000
Dennis is ready to go again, the rocking motion by the Oriole right hander, the fast ball is in high in the air out of the shallow left.

1338
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,000
Back to shortstop on the left fielder.

1339
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:32,000
And it is the left fielder, Renneke, making the catch of the last moment for the final out.

1340
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:38,000
At the end of five and a half, Toronto five, Baltimore five.

1341
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:41,000
In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>, New York and Pittsburgh are now through five innings of play.

1342
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Pittsburgh has just scored two in the bottom of the fifth to take a four-three lead.

1343
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,000
The Orioles are now in the bottom of the third inning in Kansas City.

1344
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,000
The Orioles leading it by the score of one to nothing.

1345
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,000
California and Texas are through two at Texas.

1346
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,000
And the Angels lead one to nothing.

1347
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:00,000
Seattle and Milwaukee, bottom of the third.

1348
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:05,000
At the county stadium there's no score.

1349
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:10,000
In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>, Montreal and St. Louis are in the bottom of the third at St. Louis.

1350
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:15,000
And Montreal leading that game by the score of one to nothing.

1351
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:19,000
Also in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>, Cleveland is leading Detroit by the score of three to nothing.

1352
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:22,000
The Tigers are now hitting in the bottom of the fourth inning.

1353
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:25,000
Cleveland coming up with three in the top of the fourth.

1354
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:36,000
And as you may have heard, Boston and New York are tied at one-one in their ball game.

1355
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:39,000
A federal judge has sent the contract to the student of Hartford,

1356
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,000
where the forward Blaine Stouten, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NHL/1980/overview/>National Hockey League</a> president,

1357
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,000
has sent <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-ziegler/>John Ziegler</a> for arbitration.

1358
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,000
Stouten has shared the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NHL/1980/overview/>National Hockey League</a>'s goal scoring title

1359
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,000
with Los Angeles' Charlie Zimmer last season,

1360
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:55,000
at side of ruling that he was a free agent and $600,000 in damages from the Wailers,

1361
01:50:55,000 --> 01:51:00,000
who he claims failed to offer him a contract by the July 1st League deadline.

1362
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:05,000
U.S. history judge Jose Carbanes refused to rule on the merits of the case,

1363
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,000
saying that under the league's collective bargaining agreement,

1364
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:11,000
the dispute had to be arbitrated by Ziegler.

1365
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:14,000
Blaine Stouten from playing with any other professional hockey team

1366
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:18,000
before that arbitration is resolved.

1367
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:23,000
Well, as we go to the bottom of the sixth inning, it's all tied up at five-five.

1368
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mark-belanger/>Mark Belanger</a>'s going to lead it off.

1369
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,000
He'll be followed by Bumpery and Dower, and we'll go back to Chuck.

1370
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:31,000
Well, Belanger tonight is 0-4-1.

1371
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:34,000
He has walked and hit into a fourth play, but he has scored two runs.

1372
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:37,000
The pitch is low for Ball to Belanger.

1373
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:44,000
He also has stolen the base, which was directly responsible for the fourth run.

1374
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:46,000
Now Mirabella into the booth.

1375
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,000
The left-hander's one-numbing pitch for Belanger hit high in the air in the center field,

1376
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,000
moving over to his right and coming on.

1377
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:53,000
It's Zahler, the center fielder, makes the catch,

1378
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:57,000
and that will be the first down of the last half of the sixth inning.

1379
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,000
Now the batter will be Al Bumpery.

1380
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,000
Bumpery tonight is on a two for two-nine,

1381
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:09,000
and he has scored three of the Oriole five runs that knocked him two up.

1382
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,000
Bumpery hit his ninth home run tonight.

1383
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:15,000
Stan Stewart is beginning to limber a little bit in the Oriole bullpen.

1384
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:16,000
What a great relief.

1385
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-stewart/>John Stewart</a> gave the Orioles here the other night.

1386
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:28,000
Bumpery in the first inning, single, and stole his 41st base of the year.

1387
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:31,000
It was knocked in a couple of moments later by Kenny Singleton.

1388
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:34,000
Bumpery in the third inning hit a two-run home run.

1389
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:38,000
Here's the ball to the bowing side of Bumpery.

1390
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:46,000
Left-hander, left-hander, and Mirabella throwing very hard.

1391
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:49,000
And the one-numbing pitch, Mirabella to Bumpery.

1392
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:51,000
Ground ball sharply hits to the glove side of the first base,

1393
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:53,000
but they there are there, throws for the bit to covering,

1394
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:56,000
Bumpery slides, but he is out of first base.

1395
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:59,000
Bumpery goes into his slide, kicks the bag.

1396
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:03,000
He felt he beat the pitcher, Mirabella, covering at first base.

1397
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,000
It was one of those, as the umpire would say, a bing binger.

1398
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:11,000
And apparently Mirabella got there with the first thing.

1399
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:14,000
Dayberry made a fine play going to the glove side

1400
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:16,000
and then threw to the pitcher covering.

1401
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,000
I'll tell you, it was awfully close to first base for the umpire

1402
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:22,000
Clark right on the scene.

1403
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:26,000
The rules at Bumpery is the second out of the inning.

1404
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,000
Fine play from Dayberry and good coverage from the part of Mirabella.

1405
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,000
Here now is Rich Dowell.

1406
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:34,000
Dowell right in the middle of the Orioles, two-run fourth inning

1407
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:36,000
with a base that's not going to run.

1408
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:41,000
Strike at the knee to Rich Dowell.

1409
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:44,000
Dowell has one kind of a hitter with the base is empty

1410
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:47,000
and a different kind of a hitter with people on.

1411
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:51,000
He has hit well above 350 now with that in scoring position.

1412
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:54,000
The swing, now to Powell Ball.

1413
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:59,000
Out of play, two strikes down to Dowell.

1414
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:01,000
Well, the Yankees failed to score at the bottom of the fourth.

1415
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,000
It's Boston one, the Yankees one.

1416
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:07,000
And now they're in the top of the fifth inning.

1417
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:12,000
Red Sox will be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week.

1418
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,000
Two-strike pitch on the way to Dowell.

1419
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:17,000
A little bit outside low.

1420
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:20,000
One and two.

1421
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:22,000
Dowell has struck out an average of only one

1422
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:26,000
in every 34 trips to the front.

1423
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,000
Now the one-two pitch.

1424
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,000
Breaking ball hit into left field.

1425
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:32,000
It's going to drop for a base pitch.

1426
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:35,000
Dowell just reached out and banged the curve ball into left field

1427
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:38,000
for his second hit of the evening.

1428
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:42,000
And the Orioles cancel the ball game.

1429
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,000
Here now is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a>.

1430
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Now Singleton went two for three

1431
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:50,000
against starter Jackson Powell tonight.

1432
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:54,000
And is facing the left-hander Mirabella for the first time.

1433
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:57,000
Singleton, of course, will then be a right-handed batter.

1434
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:00,000
I guess we should mention it more often when they are switch hitters,

1435
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,000
but Singleton is a right-hander.

1436
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,000
Hits 288.

1437
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:08,000
And as a left-hander, he hits 288.

1438
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:12,000
Now the pitch to Singleton is outside for a ball.

1439
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:14,000
A big difference, of course, it holds on.

1440
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Fifteen if it hit as a left-handed batter.

1441
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Seven as a right-handed batter.

1442
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,000
Dowell with the lead at the first base, two down.

1443
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:24,000
And Mirabella's pitch to Singleton.

1444
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,000
It changes and is too high.

1445
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:27,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1446
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:28,000
Ernie Wichters, wait a minute.

1447
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:30,000
Let's go out and talk this over.

1448
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,000
He did not like the last pitch.

1449
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Watch Mirabella to kind of put that one away.

1450
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:40,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a> facing Mirabella

1451
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:44,000
in the bottom of the sixth inning of the 5-5-5.

1452
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:47,000
It's the opening game of a very important three-game series.

1453
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Well, everything the Orioles play from here on out will be very important.

1454
01:55:51,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Skye calls Singleton over the inside corner of the deep.

1455
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:03,000
Singleton went into a slump, a very brief one, two for 21.

1456
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:06,000
He certainly has shaken that up last couple of nights with pitch.

1457
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:13,000
Here's a high foul out of play for the upper deck.

1458
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:17,000
In the last two ball games, he has had five hits and nine at bat.

1459
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:25,000
So now it is seven hits in his last 12 at bat.

1460
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:29,000
That's the way you shake a slump.

1461
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Two for 21 and turn around and go seven for 12.

1462
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:34,000
Mirabella's ready.

1463
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,000
The 2-2 offering to Singleton.

1464
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,000
Here's a swing and a miss and he's struck him out.

1465
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:39,000
The inning is over.

1466
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:41,000
At the end of five, sixth inning to play,

1467
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:45,000
the score Baltimore 5-Toronto 5.

1468
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:47,000
What really happened at that missile silo?

1469
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:48,000
I'm Keith Berman.

1470
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:53,000
About 1,000 residents evacuated from the area at Damascus, Arkansas,

1471
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:56,000
are now returning home, leaking fuel from a Titan II missile exploded

1472
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:00,000
in its underground silo overnight, injuring 22 Air Force personnel.

1473
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,000
ABC News has learned that when the explosion occurred,

1474
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:07,000
the nuclear warhead on top was catapulted out of the silo onto the ground nearby.

1475
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:10,000
Then it was determined that no radiation had escaped.

1476
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:14,000
The strategic air command will neither confirm nor deny this ABC News report.

1477
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:19,000
The U.S. hostage crisis in Iran is winding up to a 200 rather than a 321.

1478
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,000
Ford Motors recalling about a quarter million Ford and Mercury cars built in 1974

1479
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:28,000
is to replace possibly defective engine cooling fan blades.

1480
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:33,000
Effective on Monday, an FHA or VA insured home mortgage loan will cost you 13%,

1481
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:34,000
up one full point.

1482
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:38,000
A judge has refused to allow the body in the grave of Lee Harvey Oswald

1483
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:40,000
to be dug up from a positive identification.

1484
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:43,000
Keith Berman, ABC Contemporary News.

1485
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Checking the upcoming schedule on the parade of sport for events.

1486
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:53,000
A lot of football coming up on Saturday stateside.

1487
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:57,000
That'll be 0030 UTC Sunday.

1488
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:01,000
College football, 10 states, will be at Texas A&M.

1489
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:05,000
Then the pro football doubleheader on Sunday.

1490
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,000
And that'll be the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1980/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-lions/1980/overview/>Detroit Lions</a>,

1491
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:11,000
followed by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-england-patriots/1980/overview/>New England Patriots</a> at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/seattle-seahawks/1980/overview/>Seattle Seahawks</a>.

1492
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:18,000
And then the Monday game stateside, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-giants/1980/overview/>New York Giants</a> at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-eagles/1980/overview/>Philadelphia Eagles</a>.

1493
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Well, we're going now to the seventh inning.

1494
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:23,000
It'll be D'Amato Garcia against Denny Martinez.

1495
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:28,000
And the right-handed first offering is low and outside of the right-hand-swing D'Amato,

1496
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:32,000
who's single to the first and struck out at the second.

1497
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:36,000
And then he's out in the ground ball, the short of the fifth inning.

1498
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:37,000
The 1-0 for Martinez.

1499
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,000
Ground ball hits slowly toward the shortstop.

1500
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:44,000
Belanger there to pick up on the throw, and he is out at first base.

1501
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:47,000
Belanger had to kind of lean on that throw.

1502
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:50,000
The ball not hit that sharply, and D'Amato went down the line.

1503
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:51,000
He's putting it to seed.

1504
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,000
Here now is the Carrot Top.

1505
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:58,000
The redhead, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a>, who is 1 for 3 tonight.

1506
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:03,000
He's said that against the league, it's at a 2.57, but believe me, he really has had probably

1507
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:09,000
as many productive gains against Oriole pitching as he has anyone else in the league.

1508
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Cleveland and Detroit, a 3-3 tie.

1509
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:13,000
They have completed four innings.

1510
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:15,000
Milwaukee, 3-0 over Seattle.

1511
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:16,000
They're on the bottom of the fourth.

1512
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:17,000
Pitch to Howell to strike.

1513
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:20,000
Letter high on the outside portion.

1514
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:24,000
California's Angels lead the Rangers, 3-0 on the bottom of the third.

1515
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Kansas City, 1-0 over Oakland.

1516
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,000
They're on the bottom of the third.

1517
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:29,000
Minnesota, 2-0 over the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-white-sox/1980/overview/>Chicago White Sox</a>.

1518
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:32,000
They're playing at a foul ball right behind the plate.

1519
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,000
Two strikes.

1520
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Speaking of Minnesota, how about a young man named <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-ward/>Gary Ward</a> of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1980/overview/>Minnesota Twins</a>,

1521
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:47,000
who's the first man in the 27-year history of the Milwaukee County Stadium to ever hit for the cycle.

1522
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:50,000
Pitch, swing the foul, going to be out of play.

1523
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:56,000
No one has ever hit for the cycle at Milwaukee County Stadium in this 27-year history until this young man,

1524
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:01,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-ward/>Gary Ward</a>, did it for the Twins in the first game of the doubleheader.

1525
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:03,000
Last night.

1526
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:05,000
And the two-strike pitch.

1527
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,000
Fly ball, well hit, deep in center field.

1528
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:09,000
Bumbray trying to catch up with it on the warning track.

1529
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:11,000
Leaps, he's got it.

1530
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Bumbray did get there.

1531
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:17,000
Made the leap, caught the ball, hit the wall, and held on.

1532
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:27,000
Those kind of catches are almost commonplace for Al Bumbray in 1980.

1533
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:30,000
This ball was really hit.

1534
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:36,000
Howell unloaded on it, and Bumbray with his great speed was able to run it down with a leap.

1535
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:40,000
Lost the ball, hit the fence, and still held on.

1536
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:44,000
Two down now in the Toronto 7th, but the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>.

1537
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:47,000
Archie that throws a high pop off the third base side.

1538
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:50,000
DeSensei, the third baseman on the skin of the infield, makes the grab.

1539
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:51,000
The inning is over.

1540
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:57,000
At the end of 6 1⁄2, it is Toronto 5 and Baltimore 5.

1541
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:03,000
Charter boat ticket sold for the second race in the America's Cup Series turned out to be a bargain for spectators

1542
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:05,000
and kind of a headache for the boat owners.

1543
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:11,000
The 35 to 50 dollar stubs gave their owners a seat for the race Thursday and again Friday.

1544
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:15,000
When the second head-to-head contest was rescheduled by the New York Yacht Club,

1545
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:21,000
Thursday's race was abandoned because the foreign challenger Australia and the U.S. Defender Freedom

1546
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:27,000
failed to finish the 24 and 3⁄10 mile course within the time limit set on the race, 5 hours and 15 minutes.

1547
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:34,000
Cup tickets are sold by the race rather than the date, and excursion boats licensed by the State Public Utilities Commission

1548
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:38,000
must give their owners a free ride until the race is completed.

1549
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:43,000
The general manager of Viking Tours said that's just a gamble you take with this type of racing.

1550
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:47,000
The race cancellation took 10,000 dollars out of Viking's pocket.

1551
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:53,000
It sold approximately 400 tickets Thursday at 35 each and about 70% cashed in the rain checks.

1552
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:57,000
And another look at the race Friday.

1553
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:04,000
David Erickson refunded half the 50 dollar fare to about 25 passengers who booked a seat on the Schooner Young America Thursday,

1554
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,000
but couldn't make it for the repeat performance.

1555
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:11,000
The 130 foot tall ship licensed for charter to the public said Erickson,

1556
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:17,000
who brought the square rigger from Atlantic City, New Jersey, in hopes of making money for the ship's sailing training program.

1557
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:23,000
It's a non-profit tax event sailing vessel owned by Historic Gardeners Base and Maritime Museum,

1558
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:27,000
cost about a thousand dollars to take that ship out for one day.

1559
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:30,000
Well let's quickly run down the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> scoreboard for you.

1560
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:36,000
The Cubs over the Phillies 4-3 at the end of 6th Pittsburgh leading the match 4-3.

1561
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:39,000
Montreal and St. Louis 1-1 at the end of 4.

1562
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:46,000
Later in Latter-day San Diego, Cincinnati and Los Angeles, Houston and San Francisco in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> in the bottom of the 5th inning.

1563
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:50,000
The Yankees and the Red Sox are all tied up at 1-1.

1564
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:54,000
Chuck, LR55 tie head-to-hub of the bottom of the 7th with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

1565
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:58,000
And he started to go and held back on the swing of all low and inside with.

1566
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:03,000
Now Eddie is the right-hander, gets 297 with 9 home runs.

1567
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:07,000
The left-hander gets 301 with 20 home runs.

1568
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:13,000
And he's the right-hander now against Toronto's Paul Marivella, the 1-0 to Murray.

1569
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:16,000
Outside, 2-0 now to Ed.

1570
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:21,000
What a great year, and this young man is just going to have good year after good year.

1571
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:25,000
He's got a great attitude, wonderful instinct for the game.

1572
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:30,000
And as they would say, he's got his head screwed on right here.

1573
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:34,000
Here's the 2-0 pitch way outside, kind of all three.

1574
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:38,000
Eddie is one of those fellows that if you didn't know him, you'd say he's kind of flakmatic.

1575
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:42,000
He doesn't show a lot of emotion, but he's just a very solid individual.

1576
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:44,000
He never gets too high, never gets too low.

1577
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:49,000
And once you get to know him a little bit, you recognize the fact that he's got a pretty good sense of humor too.

1578
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:55,000
Now the 3-0, Marivella to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-murray/>Ed Murray</a>. He takes and a strike is called.

1579
02:03:55,000 --> 02:04:02,000
Now we'll look to Cal Ripken down the third-base side, see whether or not he'll be taken again.

1580
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:06,000
Now if you're managing, sitting in this girl, we repeat the dugout.

1581
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:09,000
Would you have Murray taken or hitting on the 3-1?

1582
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:12,000
Let's just say he's hitting. Let's see whether or not he does.

1583
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:17,000
Marivella's 3-1 set. He takes ball four, one outside.

1584
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:22,000
So Marivella has given up a walk to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-murray/>Ed Murray</a> to start the bottom of the seventh inning.

1585
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:26,000
And for the Toronto South ball, that's his first three tickets.

1586
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:33,000
Here now is Gary Renneke, the first appearance that Gary made against Marivella.

1587
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:37,000
He was hit by the fifth. It's apparently didn't do any damage.

1588
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:43,000
They have completed five innings now at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. It is still Boston 1 and the Yankees 1.

1589
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:48,000
Marivella to Renneke. Swing and a fly ball well hit. Centerfield back and waiting.

1590
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:52,000
Baylor is there, makes the grab. And that will be the first count.

1591
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:57,000
One away as Renneke hits the ball right on the button, but right at center fielder.

1592
02:04:57,000 --> 02:05:04,000
Here now is Denny Ayala in his first plate appearance against Marivella. He's struck out.

1593
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:10,000
Ayala is the Orioles' designated hitter. Tonight it started with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-stone/>Steve Stone</a> in this spot.

1594
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:17,000
And naturally before Stone could bat at the second inning, Terry Fowley was announced as the new designated hitter.

1595
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Fowley went over to Ayala. Here's the ball game in the fifth inning.

1596
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:27,000
Fowley with a good lead at first. Millar-Ballard stares that way. Comes to the plate. Here's the foul right up to three.

1597
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:30,000
Now the play. Strike one.

1598
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:43,000
The Orioles fighting desperately to keep their head above water and to close the gap.

1599
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:47,000
That five game gap between themselves and the Yankees.

1600
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Now the one strike pitch for the waiting Ayala.

1601
02:05:50,000 --> 02:06:02,000
Swing and a ground ball foul off the third base side. Now two strikes. A hard swinging muscular Denny Ayala. He's not as strong as you get to be in this game.

1602
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:16,000
One out in the beginning. Runner at first base, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-murray/>Ed Murray</a>. We're in a 5-5 tie here at the bottom of the seventh in Baltimore tonight.

1603
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:22,000
The starters are gone. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a> started for Toronto. He's gone. Mirabella's in there. Two strikes pitch to Ben Ayala.

1604
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:30,000
The left hander throws way outside. A ball and two strikes. Palmer started and Denny Martinez is taking over for him.

1605
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:38,000
Well, 12,706 paid tonight at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>. And the one-two pitch.

1606
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Here's a line foul to the deep left field corner. Barlow and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> are up and throwing out of the Toronto bullpen.

1607
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:58,000
A ball and two strikes to Ayala.

1608
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:08,000
We've seen Denny hit some shots about as hard as anybody in the league this year. The set by Mirabella and the one-two pitch to Ayala.

1609
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:15,000
Here's a line drive and it's caught by the leaping second baseman. And Murray alertly got back to first base.

1610
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:21,000
Ayala hit another line drive. It looked as though Mirabella almost got a glove on it. A piece of it.

1611
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:28,000
And the second baseman, Garcia, was soaring into the air and grabbed it for the second down. He hit it two down down.

1612
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:34,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>, like Ayala before him, he also stuck out against Mirabella in the fifth.

1613
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:46,000
The set for Toronto left hander throws. Missing low and inside and a ball one. Mirabella looks toward the plate up by Palermo.

1614
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:51,000
And it's caught the vase.

1615
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:58,000
Well, the Blue Jays managed a victory in three games against the Yankees.

1616
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:04,000
Came awfully close to two out of three, too. The pitch gets high for a ball.

1617
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:12,000
This goes to show, as people have said for so many years, that this game of baseball is very unique.

1618
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:18,000
And some of the strangest things can happen. Like Toronto leading seven to three, going to the bottom of the tenth inning.

1619
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:22,000
It's an extended game, you thought, well, boy, if they ever had a chance to win one, that was it.

1620
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:28,000
There goes the runner, Murray, a swing and a fouling pop-up, third base side. Roy Powell, the third baseman, coming down the line.

1621
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:34,000
And fouls round. He's got it and the inning is over. At the end of seven, Toronto five, Baltimore five.

1622
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:40,000
At Kansas City, the Royals have just scored five runs in the bottom of the third inning against the Oakland A's.

1623
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:46,000
And after three full innings of play, Kansas City six, Oakland nothing. Kingman started for the A's.

1624
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:50,000
Beard now pitching. Slithorpe continues to pitch for Kansas City.

1625
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> hit a sacrifice line his first time at bat. So, of course, he's not charged at the time of bat.

1626
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:03,000
His second trip in the third, bingo, base hit. He's now one for one and is hitting 400.

1627
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:09,000
So, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a>, after coming back from that hand injury, doing quite a job. He is now batting 400.

1628
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:12,000
Kansas City leading in that game six to three.

1629
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-wilson/>Willie Wilson</a> established in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> a consecutive fill-in base record on Thursday with his 28.

1630
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:23,000
He just grabbed number 29 earlier in that ball game.

1631
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:28,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/milwaukee-brewers/1980/overview/>Milwaukee Brewers</a> say third baseman <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-money/>Don Money</a> will miss the final two weeks of the season.

1632
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:32,000
Money's suffering a knee injury earlier in the week in a game against Seattle.

1633
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:36,000
The Brewers say that Money will undergo knee surgery October 3rd in Milwaukee.

1634
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:40,000
Money hit 256 this season with 17 homers.

1635
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:46,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NHL/1980/overview/>National Hockey League</a> president <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-ziegler/>John Ziegler</a> announced Friday the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-flyers/1980/overview/>Philadelphia Flyers</a> have been fined $5,000

1636
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:52,000
for criticizing the officiating during the 1979 <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/nhl/1980/playoffs/>Stanley Cup</a> playoffs against the Islanders.

1637
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:58,000
Ziegler said the fine was levied after an investigation into comments made by Flyers owner Ed Snyder

1638
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:03,000
about Chief Referee Scottie Morrison during the last game of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/nhl/1980/playoffs/>Stanley Cup</a> Finals, May 24th.

1639
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:07,000
The Islanders won that with a 5-4 victory over the Flyers.

1640
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:13,000
Well, whenever baseball fans begin to talk a little bit about the most valuable player in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>,

1641
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:18,000
you know the names of Gossips jump up, the names of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-jackson/>Reggie Jackson</a> also is in there.

1642
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:21,000
And I guess this fellow's name will be mentioned a little bit too.

1643
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:24,000
George Bratz Singleton, the third innings, won for one.

1644
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:29,000
His batting average at the moment is an even 400.

1645
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:34,000
Here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-braun/>Steve Braun</a>, left-hand swinging designated hitter for Toronto.

1646
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:37,000
And the dentist, Martinez, pitched to Braun.

1647
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:42,000
Fastball ripped over the outside corner of the letters, strike one.

1648
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:45,000
Braun single to not get the first Toronto run of the ball game in the first inning.

1649
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:48,000
Struck out in the third, drew a walk, the next time up in the fifth.

1650
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:51,000
Here's the ball, high and outside.

1651
02:10:51,000 --> 02:11:00,000
A little bit for Royals, Blue Jays, and was purchased from Syracuse Club earlier this year by Toronto.

1652
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:09,000
Fly fly ball hit to left field, waiting for it out there is Gary Raneke in the club, and that'll be the first out.

1653
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:14,000
One away on the top of the eighth inning, the batter now, Lloyd Mosby.

1654
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:20,000
Now Lloyd doubled down the right field side to knock in a couple of runs in the Toronto three runs first inning.

1655
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:25,000
Since that time, he has slide to center and bounced to the mound.

1656
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:30,000
This young man is an outstanding prospect.

1657
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:38,000
Even so, he's got a chance to become quite a player, the dentist, Martinez, curves a little high, ball one.

1658
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:43,000
Tom Marvich, a little while ago, he looks like a player.

1659
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:48,000
One other pitch on the way, Dennis works, breaking ball hit about two feet in front of the plate.

1660
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:53,000
Countdown to two balls, no strikes.

1661
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:58,000
But successful players come in all sizes, don't they? In all shapes.

1662
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Some are tall and slender, short and stocky.

1663
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:10,000
It's still one-one, the Yankees, the Red Sox, Yankees are batting on the bottom of the sixth.

1664
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:13,000
Pitch is down low, three balls, no strikes.

1665
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:18,000
When Dennis worked against Toronto last Sunday, this is what gave him trouble, control.

1666
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:22,000
And he walked three in that effort.

1667
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:26,000
It's still one-one, the Yankees, the Red Sox, Yankees are batting on the bottom of the sixth.

1668
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:30,000
Pitch is down low, three balls, no strikes.

1669
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:35,000
When Dennis worked against Toronto last Sunday, this is what gave him trouble, control.

1670
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:37,000
And he walked three in that effort.

1671
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:42,000
So far tonight, he's only given up one walk, pitch outside and a ball four.

1672
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:48,000
So Mosley is the tie-breaking run now as he goes to first base with one out.

1673
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:51,000
After the plate comes the right-handed batter, Bobby Baylor.

1674
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:56,000
Baylor has bounced a short, singles, scored a run, and bounced a short again.

1675
02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:13,000
Let's take a look at the schedule of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

1676
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:15,000
They'll be going back home.

1677
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:19,000
Here's a pitch a little bit high to Bobby Baylor, ball one.

1678
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:23,000
I don't know which ball club does the best job when they visit Baltimore on steam crafts,

1679
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:29,000
but I'll tell you something, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> have got to be given some serious consideration.

1680
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:38,000
They really do a job on our Maryland steam crafts.

1681
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:40,000
Now the one-hunting pitch to the waiting Baylor.

1682
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:43,000
Noah throws the first, back safely goes Mosley.

1683
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:45,000
Big, tall, rangy young man as Mosley.

1684
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:51,000
Got pretty good speed.

1685
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:53,000
He's ready to go.

1686
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:55,000
Look over the shoulder to check Mosley, the set and the pitch.

1687
02:13:55,000 --> 02:14:00,000
Baylor hits a foul ball, a line foul against the rolled up tarp down at the first base side.

1688
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:02,000
One ball, one strike to them.

1689
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:08,000
Bobby Baylor, I guarantee you, I think that when Baylor goes back to Toronto next week or Sunday night,

1690
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:16,000
there are going to be a couple of cases of steam crafts aboard that airplane taking him home.

1691
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:20,000
One ball, one strike to Baylor.

1692
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:27,000
Noah throws the first, back safely goes Mosley.

1693
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:29,000
The Orioles, five runs and ten hits.

1694
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:31,000
Toronto, five runs on eight.

1695
02:14:31,000 --> 02:14:35,000
They have a tie run, the first major league home run in the career of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a>.

1696
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:37,000
Quicker throw to first base by Dennis.

1697
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:41,000
Back safely again is Mosley.

1698
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:44,000
Although in this situation it's quite obvious that Dennis, the Orioles,

1699
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:49,000
think that Baylor and Mosley could have nothing going.

1700
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:52,000
The set by Dennis and the one-one pitch.

1701
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:55,000
Here's a looping line drive caught by the second baseman, Dower.

1702
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:59,000
No chance of doubling the runner at first base, Lloyd Mosley.

1703
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:03,000
Baylor's gone on a soft line drive to Dower for the second out of the inning.

1704
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:07,000
And now here is the aforementioned <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a>.

1705
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:12,000
It is first major league home run with nobody aboard in the sixth inning to tie the ball game.

1706
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:17,000
I mentioned he was from Montreal.

1707
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:22,000
Signed a pro contract on his 17th birthday in 77.

1708
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:27,000
He had an off-season shoulder operation.

1709
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:37,000
And then started his professional career at third base and then switched to the outfield.

1710
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:41,000
He started with Eulica hitting four, 74, and seven games.

1711
02:15:41,000 --> 02:15:43,000
Then hurt that shoulder sliding into a base.

1712
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:47,000
Here's a check swing foul right behind the plate.

1713
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:54,000
And the count will be strike one, this is Hodgson.

1714
02:15:54,000 --> 02:16:06,000
1978 of the Pioneer League, Paul played for Medicine Hat and he hit 279.

1715
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:14,000
Paul Rangety, right-handed swinger.

1716
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:16,000
Tomorrow night, 730 game time.

1717
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:21,000
Tomorrow night, Steve Snow will be after win number 24.

1718
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:26,000
As an Oriole, and we hope that a lot of you can be here to root him on.

1719
02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:28,000
To Martinez, one strike pitch for Hodgson.

1720
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Here's the foul ball right up the screen and out of play.

1721
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:36,000
Two strikes now to Paul.

1722
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:40,000
Paul is having an excellent game tonight to go with his first major league home run.

1723
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:41,000
He had a single.

1724
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:48,000
Yes, a second inning.

1725
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:51,000
Moe's D with a pretty good lead at first base, two out.

1726
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:55,000
And the two strike pitch, well, it looked like Dempsey wanted a pitch out.

1727
02:16:55,000 --> 02:17:00,000
Dennis really didn't get the ball out there far enough, the one that he harmed.

1728
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:02,000
He did get it out of the strike zone.

1729
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:04,000
Hodgson couldn't do anything with it.

1730
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:13,000
And Mosby at first base had no intention of doing anything.

1731
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Now the one-two offering to the right-hand swinging, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a>.

1732
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:22,000
Dennis is taking a long time, now ready to go.

1733
02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:36,000
He kicks and throws just outside, two balls and two strikes.

1734
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:39,000
Now it's been a seed-saw kind of a battle tonight at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>.

1735
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:42,000
Right now it's a 5-5 tie.

1736
02:17:42,000 --> 02:18:08,000
Dennis is ready, the two-two to Hodgson, Brown foul right at the plate, so it counts a hole.

1737
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:14,000
Time right now, here comes Skipper <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> on the dead run out of the Oriole dugout.

1738
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:18,000
He wants Dempsey to join him on the mound, and he'll talk a little bit with Dennis.

1739
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:20,000
If there is any activity in the Oriole bullpen.

1740
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:31,000
So this is just a little skull session on the mound right now between Manager Weaver and Dennis and catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>.

1741
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:37,000
That's one of the things about Skipper <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> that I guess we haven't talked a heck of a lot about.

1742
02:18:37,000 --> 02:18:40,000
Don't misunderstand, he does not interfere with his pitching coach.

1743
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:45,000
He believes his pitching coach has got a job to do and understands it well enough to get it done without any help.

1744
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:51,000
But Earl does kind of stay pretty close and in very close contact with his pitcher.

1745
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Now the two-two.

1746
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:54,000
Here's a swing and a ground ball up the third base line.

1747
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:56,000
Shortstop and Andrew has the throw to first base.

1748
02:18:56,000 --> 02:19:06,000
It is in time to get Hodgson for the final out of the inning at the end of seven and a half, Oriole five, Blue Jays five.

1749
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:10,000
In college football, one game of note being played on Friday night.

1750
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:13,000
That's Albany State of Georgia and Florida A&M.

1751
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:16,000
Florida A&M having the better of it late in the third quarter.

1752
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:22,000
It's Florida A&M 32, Albany State two.

1753
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:29,000
Outside linebacker <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bo-harris/>Bo Harris</a>, who only thirsted, announced his retirement from professional football, was back in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-bengals/1980/overview/>Cincinnati Bengals</a> camp.

1754
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:32,000
According to Harris, it was a personal matter.

1755
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:35,000
Let's just say he found a way to solve it without retirement.

1756
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:39,000
He said, I went in thinking I was going to retire, which I did indeed announce.

1757
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:43,000
But he said, for us to Greg, that's the Bengals head coach, is very understanding.

1758
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:46,000
And he says, I've been there before, so no problem.

1759
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:49,000
Let's get on with it.

1760
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:57,000
Drivers from all over the country are converging on Pocono International Raceway in preparation for the 30th running of the CAM2 Race of Champions.

1761
02:19:57,000 --> 02:20:02,000
Last year's winner, Richie Evans from Rome, New York, leads the field of the nation's outstanding modified drivers.

1762
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:07,000
That included Jeff Modine from the Pleasant Grove, North Carolina, Greg Sacks from New York,

1763
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:14,000
Sonny Seaman of Vernon Center, New York, Phone Stevens of Connecticut, and a number of other drivers.

1764
02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:20,000
The 100 car field includes drivers from Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

1765
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:25,000
The fastest 46 cars in time trials in two weeks from the special Sunday morning qualifying races

1766
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:33,000
will take the green flag at 1 o'clock Sunday for the 300 lap, 225 mile race on the three quarter mile oval.

1767
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:37,000
The fifth annual Mini Stock Car Race of Champions will be held on Saturday.

1768
02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:46,000
Six of the assorted modified Mini Stocks will take the field, representing 17 states and Canada.

1769
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:51,000
Bottom of the sixth at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>, all tied up at 1-1 between New York and Boston.

1770
02:20:51,000 --> 02:20:56,000
They're going into the top of the sixth and the dry tonight, and the Tigers lead 3-4 to 3.

1771
02:20:56,000 --> 02:21:01,000
In Milwaukee, bottom of the fifth, Milwaukee leads Seattle 3-0.

1772
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:05,000
California has a 3-2 edge over Texas in the bottom of the fifth inning.

1773
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:09,000
Oakland and Kansas City at the end of four. Kansas City leads at 6-0.

1774
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:15,000
Chicago's at Minnesota, and Mini leads Chicago 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

1775
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:16,000
Chuck?

1776
02:21:16,000 --> 02:21:21,000
Well, here is Doug DeSensei in the bottom of the eighth inning. DeSensei tonight on a one for three evening.

1777
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:27,000
DeSensei, Melanger, and Bumrey are the new batters to the left-hander Paul Marabella.

1778
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:30,000
He's done an excellent bit of work to keep into the ball game.

1779
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:33,000
He's been swinging the ground ball down third base side.

1780
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:35,000
Powell comes up with a nice pick up the throw.

1781
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:39,000
The first is in time to get Doug DeSensei for the first out of the inning.

1782
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:42,000
And on that play will pause for station identification.

1783
02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:45,000
This is the Orioles Baseball Network.

1784
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:50,000
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

1785
02:21:50,000 --> 02:22:01,000
DeSensei's ground ball down the third base side, not sharply hit, and Howells came charging down the line.

1786
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:05,000
Made a glove hand pick up and a snap throw to first justice time to get DeSensei.

1787
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:09,000
Now the batter is Melanger. The pitch, blown away, ball one.

1788
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:15,000
Clark Walsh that scored when Bumrey hit his ninth home run of the year back in the third inning.

1789
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:19,000
Hit it to a fourth place, told the base and scored again on the fourth inning.

1790
02:22:19,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Here's a five off toward the gap, left center field.

1791
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:26,000
Baylor cruises over at the center field to make the catch for the second out.

1792
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:30,000
Two down, down. The batter's going to be out.

1793
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:36,000
Bumrey, Bumrey on a two for three night with two runs batted in and three runs scored.

1794
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:39,000
That's the total base.

1795
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:52,000
Bumrey now needs 17 more hits for the 200 mark.

1796
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:55,000
Two out of the inning, nobody on, and Marabella ready to go.

1797
02:22:55,000 --> 02:23:03,000
The left hander's pitch to Bumrey, drag, rips over the outside corner, let her hide.

1798
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:07,000
Marabella has allowed but two Orioles hits, it's three plus innings.

1799
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:11,000
Breaking ball, hit of the dirt at the second base and comes up and a head high hop.

1800
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:14,000
Garcia's throw to first is the final out of the inning at the end of eighth.

1801
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:19,000
Orioles five, Toronto five.

1802
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:24,000
In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>, Montreal now leading St. Louis by the score of three to one.

1803
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:30,000
Montreal trying to put some distance between it and the rest of the race in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>'s

1804
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:33,000
division, Philadelphia already losing earlier in the day.

1805
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:36,000
Philadelphia knocked off by Chicago four to three.

1806
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:40,000
Four runs, nine hits, two errors for the Cubs, three eight and oh for Philadelphia.

1807
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:43,000
Locke, Brewster and McGraw for Philadelphia.

1808
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:46,000
Russel, Tidro, Hernandez and Smith for Chicago.

1809
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:48,000
Smith got the win, he's two and oh.

1810
02:23:48,000 --> 02:23:51,000
Brewster the loser, his record is two and one.

1811
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:56,000
And you ask how well does the last place team 24 games out of first place draw on an afternoon?

1812
02:23:56,000 --> 02:24:02,000
The answer, 4352 at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/wrigley-field/>Wrigley Field</a>.

1813
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:07,000
So that loss, Philadelphia at the moment is two games behind Montreal.

1814
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:14,000
79 wins, 67 losses for the Fills, but that will quite possibly go to two and a half if Montreal

1815
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:19,000
hangs in there with that three to one lead over St. Louis and winds up winning this ballgame.

1816
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,000
Should Montreal lose the ballgame?

1817
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:25,000
Well then Philadelphia will remain a game and a half back.

1818
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:28,000
Pittsburgh is leading New York by the score of four to three.

1819
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:32,000
That ballgame in the bottom of the sixth at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/three-rivers-stadium/>Three Rivers Stadium</a>.

1820
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:34,000
Lynch and Miller for New York.

1821
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:36,000
Roden is pitching for the Pirates.

1822
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:42,000
So Pittsburgh four to three over New York, bottom of the sixth at Pittsburgh.

1823
02:24:42,000 --> 02:24:44,000
Atlanta and San Diego just getting underway.

1824
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:46,000
Alexander against Murrah.

1825
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:47,000
Alexander is 13 and eight.

1826
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:49,000
Murrah is six and seven.

1827
02:24:49,000 --> 02:24:53,000
Later on Cincinnati at Los Angeles, Houston at San Francisco.

1828
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:57,000
Well we're ready to go now to the top of the ninth inning at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a> in Baltimore.

1829
02:24:57,000 --> 02:25:00,000
A five-five tie is on the board.

1830
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:03,000
And it's been that way since Hodgson's home run back in the sixth inning.

1831
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:06,000
And here now is Ernie Witt.

1832
02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:10,000
Ernie, a left-handed swinger to the right-handed offering to the dentist.

1833
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:15,000
Witt has walked, singled, and fly to center field.

1834
02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:17,000
Now the Martinez pitch to Witt.

1835
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:19,000
Here's a high fly ball into center field.

1836
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Coming on is center fielder, Bumrey.

1837
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:25,000
And he's there to make the catch for the routine fly for the first half.

1838
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:27,000
One away.

1839
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:30,000
And the batter now will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>.

1840
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:32,000
All for four tonight, fly to center.

1841
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:35,000
Reached in the field, a choice, stuck out and flying to left.

1842
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>.

1843
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:50,000
Yankee, Floretz on one-one at the end of sixth.

1844
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:53,000
The Martinez pitch to Griffin, he's square the bun.

1845
02:25:53,000 --> 02:26:07,000
He's got a ball low and outside.

1846
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:08,000
Now the one-nothing pitch.

1847
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:09,000
Martinez throws.

1848
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:11,000
Swing and a pitch.

1849
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:12,000
One ball, one strike.

1850
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:16,000
Well, apparently a little foul tipped into the middle of the catcher, definitely.

1851
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:19,000
As we follow the tie, Kohana's late on fire for their most.

1852
02:26:19,000 --> 02:26:25,000
One ball, one strike.

1853
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:27,000
Martinez rocks over the rubber and delivers.

1854
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:30,000
Here's the punt foul right back to the screen.

1855
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:36,000
Ball and two strikes.

1856
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:38,000
Well, out of five-five tie at the top of the ninth inning,

1857
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:40,000
you'd have to say that's a pretty good idea, I think.

1858
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:46,000
On behalf of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>, kind of punt his way on.

1859
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:50,000
With a count of all the two strikes, Dennis now wants another baseball to work with.

1860
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:54,000
Floretz provides it.

1861
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:56,000
Alfredo was a left-handed batter against Dennis

1862
02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:00,000
and played well toward the alley in the left-center field by Al Bumbrey.

1863
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:06,000
Shattow was favoring the line in the left-field corner by Gary Renneke, the one-two pitch.

1864
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:14,000
Breaking ball hit a bird off the first-base side.

1865
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:29,000
The attendance at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a> tonight, 12,706.

1866
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:31,000
One out, nobody on, and the Martinez with the arm down,

1867
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:33,000
the right-hander throws just missing.

1868
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:36,000
Oh, outside, right at the outside corner, right at the knees.

1869
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:43,000
Took a little off the pitch, but it was just a bit out of them strikes.

1870
02:27:43,000 --> 02:27:49,000
And the two-two pitch.

1871
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:52,000
Martinez works, popping up off the third-base side.

1872
02:27:52,000 --> 02:27:56,000
Melanger, the shortstop of the skin of the infield, is calling for it.

1873
02:27:56,000 --> 02:28:01,000
That's the second out of the inning, two down at the top of the ninth.

1874
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:06,000
And the batter now, Donesto Garcia, who's single, struck out and then twice,

1875
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:11,000
rounded out to the shortstop, Melanger.

1876
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:15,000
And the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a> tied the game in the sixth inning.

1877
02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:18,000
Dennis is not allowed a base hit.

1878
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:23,000
The only man to reach was Lloyd Mosby in the eighth inning with a one-out walk.

1879
02:28:23,000 --> 02:28:33,000
Pitch outside, ball one.

1880
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:37,000
Well, the Yankees and the Red Sox are in the same kind of a ball game in New York tonight

1881
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:42,000
as the Orioles and Toronto.

1882
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:45,000
High foul ball is hit down the first-base side.

1883
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:48,000
It's going to be into the season out of play.

1884
02:28:48,000 --> 02:29:09,000
One ball, one strike now to Garcia.

1885
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:13,000
Dennis shakes off a sign from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>, now gets the one he wants.

1886
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:15,000
And here is his one-one offering.

1887
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:18,000
Ground ball hit down the third-base side to Sensei has deep behind the back.

1888
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:20,000
The long throw is okay.

1889
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:23,000
Three-up, three-down go the Blue Jays at the end of eight and a half.

1890
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:26,000
Orioles five, Toronto five.

1891
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:31,000
The Australians squeezed a magnificent first victory out of the United States Defender Friday

1892
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:37,000
in a seesawing America's Cup contest, finished after dark under the blue beacons of Coast Guard cutters.

1893
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:41,000
Australia nabbed almost a half a minute late at the first mark,

1894
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:46,000
expanded it to nearly a minute by the fourth mark, lost it entirely on the next to the last leg,

1895
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:49,000
then grabbed it again only a half mile from the finish line.

1896
02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:54,000
The Aussies have thus nodded the best of seven series at one race apiece.

1897
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:58,000
The odd Australia started a fifth downward leg with a 46-second lead.

1898
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:05,000
Then in whispering breezes, Freedom crept past Australia's around the final mark with a 21-second advantage.

1899
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:09,000
The American 12-meter grabbed the commanding lead on the final upwind leg,

1900
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:14,000
then Australia crawled ahead tacking a startling 32 times in a dying breeze

1901
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:19,000
to win unofficially by a minute with only a few minutes to spare toward the deadline.

1902
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:24,000
On the fourth leg, Freedom managed to carve out only one second off the Aussies' 47-second lead,

1903
02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:28,000
even though the Challengers dropped their spinnaker overboard and lost some ground

1904
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:32,000
while they struggled with flailing lines starting that leg.

1905
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:36,000
The winds were very light, just six to seven knots.

1906
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:42,000
What a job <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> has done from the bullpen so far tonight.

1907
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:49,000
It relieves the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>, five and two-thirds innings, giving up just a run on two hits, striking out two, and walking only one.

1908
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:55,000
Look at the scoreboard, they're into the seventh inning at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> tonight, New York, and Boston all set up at one-one.

1909
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:59,000
Dower's going to lead it off, we go to the bottom of the ninth inning, and back to you Chuck.

1910
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:03,000
Well here is Dower, let's take a look at some of those gains in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>.

1911
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:07,000
Nothing to report yet on Cincinnati and Los Angeles, they'll not start until 10.30.

1912
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:12,000
Houston and San Francisco will start at about the same time, so that's another 20 minutes or so.

1913
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:17,000
Montreal three, Cardinals one, they're in the bottom of the sixth inning.

1914
02:31:17,000 --> 02:31:20,000
And the pitch to Dower, low and inside for a ball.

1915
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:25,000
The Pirates four, the Mets three, they have completed seventh inning.

1916
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:30,000
And this afternoon the Cubs, with a two-run ninth inning, beat the Phillies four to three.

1917
02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:35,000
Now the one-hitting pitch to Dower.

1918
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:40,000
Here's a line drive to the right field, it's going to drop for the Bay fifth, mostly part of the charge.

1919
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:44,000
Then decided, wait a minute, I better be sure of this.

1920
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:53,000
And Dower starts the ninth with a solid shot to right field, his third hit in five trips tonight.

1921
02:31:53,000 --> 02:32:00,000
And we're going to get Drongo Hayswood running for Rich Dower.

1922
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:06,000
Hayswood will run, and this is Hayswood's Major League debut.

1923
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:14,000
He has never been in a big league ball game and now is running for Rich Dower.

1924
02:32:14,000 --> 02:32:23,000
And out of the Toronto Bullpen they've got Willis the left-hander and Barlow the right-hander, warming.

1925
02:32:23,000 --> 02:32:26,000
And the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a>.

1926
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:30,000
Drongo Hayswood, a young man who has a lot of potential.

1927
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:37,000
The set by Mirabella and the pitch to Singleton has a place for Glow, ball one.

1928
02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:43,000
Red Sox and the Yankees, they're now in the bottom of the seventh inning and it is still the Yankees one.

1929
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:50,000
The Red Sox one, to the best of our knowledge, it's Renko and Te'an.

1930
02:32:50,000 --> 02:33:00,000
Now the one-nothing pitch inside ball two to Singleton.

1931
02:33:00,000 --> 02:33:09,000
Two and O to count to Singleton, the runner at first base for Rich Dower is Drongo Hayswood.

1932
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:13,000
Mirabella ready, the two-nothing to Singleton.

1933
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:19,000
It's a ball three just outside. Mirabella physically deserves over the ball.

1934
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:25,000
And Ernie Witt the catcher is also doing a little yanking to Salermo.

1935
02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:30,000
I'll tell you one thing, I have to give this Toronto ball club a lot of credit.

1936
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:33,000
They are not the kind of a club that's going to win a championship for a little while,

1937
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:37,000
but boy they have played in great fashion against the Orioles and Yankees.

1938
02:33:37,000 --> 02:33:40,000
Three-nothing to Singleton, ball four is too high.

1939
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:44,000
Down to second base goes Hayswood.

1940
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:47,000
Singleton has walked.

1941
02:33:47,000 --> 02:33:51,000
That will be the second walk issued by Mirabella.

1942
02:33:51,000 --> 02:34:01,000
And now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mark-corey/>Mark Corey</a> is going to run for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-singleton/>Ken Singleton</a>.

1943
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:03,000
Singleton is out of the ball game.

1944
02:34:03,000 --> 02:34:06,000
Dennis Menke has gone to the mound and it looks as though he might.

1945
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:11,000
Yes he is, he's going to take the ball from Mirabella who has given the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>

1946
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:14,000
a pretty darn good relief since tonight in Baltimore.

1947
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:20,000
And while the new pitcher makes his way to the mound, let us pause for this message.

1948
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:26,000
In case you missed it, here's what happened in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> on Thursday, just three games.

1949
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:30,000
Houston over Cincinnati 10-2, Atlanta beat San Francisco 2-1,

1950
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:34,000
and it was Los Angeles over San Diego 7-3.

1951
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:36,000
The Dodgers were leading those Thursday games.

1952
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:38,000
Montreal leading Philadelphia by a game and a half,

1953
02:34:38,000 --> 02:34:42,000
Pittsburgh 5-back, in the West the Dodgers leading Houston by one,

1954
02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:44,000
and Cincinnati 5-and-a-half back.

1955
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:51,000
However, earlier on Friday, Chicago over Philadelphia 4-3,

1956
02:34:51,000 --> 02:34:54,000
Smith, the winning pitcher in relief, Bruce is a loser.

1957
02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:58,000
Four runs nine hits, two errors for the Cubs, 3-8 and 0 for Philadelphia.

1958
02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:00,000
The Cubs winning it in the bottom of the ninth inning,

1959
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:03,000
so at the moment Philadelphia trails by two games,

1960
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:05,000
and it won't fluctuate a half a game either way.

1961
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:08,000
Thursday in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a>, Boston 8, Cleveland 3,

1962
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:14,000
Baltimore 7, Detroit 3, New York 8-7 and 13 in the completion of a suspended game over Toronto,

1963
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:19,000
and Toronto won the second game 2-1, Milwaukee 2-2 for Minnesota,

1964
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:23,000
Kansas City over California, Texas beat Oakland 10-6,

1965
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:27,000
and Chicago dropped Seattle by the score of 5-4.

1966
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:30,000
So in the East, New York leading Baltimore by five games,

1967
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:32,000
Kansas City has already clinched in the West.

1968
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:38,000
Kansas City at the moment leading Oakland by some 17-and-a-half games.

1969
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:44,000
He goes four innings plus two batters.

1970
02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:47,000
They're both his responsibility at first and second.

1971
02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:50,000
He did not give up a run.

1972
02:35:50,000 --> 02:35:52,000
He did give up three hits.

1973
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:54,000
He struck out three and he walked two.

1974
02:35:54,000 --> 02:35:58,000
Willis is now into the game, and we'll take a look at Mike's record so far.

1975
02:35:58,000 --> 02:36:05,000
It's 1-0. In 14 games, his ERA,.93.

1976
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:08,000
He's worked a total of 19 in the third inning.

1977
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:10,000
He's given up 14 hits, only two runs.

1978
02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:13,000
He's only given up the home runs each one time.

1979
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:16,000
He has walked eight while striking out 11.

1980
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:19,000
So Willis is in the pitch for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

1981
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:22,000
There are runners at first and second, pitch runners.

1982
02:36:22,000 --> 02:36:26,000
Hayes-Wood is at second base, and Corey is at first.

1983
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:28,000
Dower led off the inning with a single.

1984
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:30,000
Hayes-Wood went in to run for him.

1985
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:32,000
Single and then one in, and walk.

1986
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:34,000
Corey went in to run for him.

1987
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:39,000
Willis indicates that he's headed out, so as far as warm-up activity is concerned.

1988
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:41,000
And here comes Denny.

1989
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> the batter with Oriole runners.

1990
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:47,000
Hayes-Wood is the lead runner at second base.

1991
02:36:47,000 --> 02:36:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mark-corey/>Mark Corey</a> running for single at first base.

1992
02:36:51,000 --> 02:36:56,000
And Toronto defensively figures that maybe <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> of the Orioles will go to the

1993
02:36:56,000 --> 02:37:00,000
bond against the left-handed True Ball of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>, the fifth.

1994
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:03,000
He takes low ball one.

1995
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:06,000
No indication of a bond from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

1996
02:37:11,000 --> 02:37:18,000
Now the last time I saw Willis against the Orioles was Friday night up at Toronto, the 12th of September.

1997
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:23,000
He came on in the eighth inning in relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joey-mclaughlin/>Joey McLaughlin</a> who did a heck of a job.

1998
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:28,000
He gave up only one base hit in an inning and two thirds, the fifth.

1999
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:32,000
Ground ball at the third base, but he shot up and told a second that's one on the first

2000
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:36,000
and a double play, and Hayes-Wood moved in two third base.

2001
02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:41,000
Murray hits into a 5-4-3 double play.

2002
02:37:41,000 --> 02:37:48,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> is proving again that he is more than adequate coming out of that bullpen.

2003
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:56,000
And now Gary Renneke in the bottom of the ninth inning with two out in a 5-5-5.

2004
02:37:56,000 --> 02:38:02,000
Gary Renneke will face <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>.

2005
02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:11,000
Now Renneke enters the ball game as a pinch batter in the fifth inning was hit by a pitch.

2006
02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:18,000
Then in the seventh inning he broke the pitch by Mirabella very well, hit it deep to center, and Baylor ran it down.

2007
02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:22,000
Two out now, runner at third is Hayes-Wood, the pitch to Renneke.

2008
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:25,000
Fly ball, center field, Baylor is waiting for it.

2009
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:28,000
And the Toronto center fielder wraps it up for the final out.

2010
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:36,000
Willis has throttled the Orioles again at the end of nine, Baltimore five, Toronto five.

2011
02:38:36,000 --> 02:38:38,000
They're back home but plenty scared.

2012
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:39,000
I'm Keith Berman.

2013
02:38:39,000 --> 02:38:43,000
The 1,000 residents evacuated from their homes in Damascus, Arkansas are home again.

2014
02:38:43,000 --> 02:38:50,000
They're still talking about that overnight fire and explosion of rock the Titan II missile silo injuring 22 Air Force personnel.

2015
02:38:50,000 --> 02:38:52,000
No radiation escape, we're told.

2016
02:38:52,000 --> 02:38:56,000
The Strategic Air Command will either confirm nor deny an ABC News report

2017
02:38:56,000 --> 02:39:00,000
about the Titan's nuclear warheadless catapult out of the silo when the explosion occurred.

2018
02:39:00,000 --> 02:39:04,000
The Pentagon says not to worry, the fail-safe technology worked.

2019
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:10,000
In day 321 of the crisis, Muslim militants and members of Iran's parliament will visit the occupied U.S. Embassy Monday

2020
02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:14,000
to view what they call the evidence of crimes and spying equipment.

2021
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:19,000
Effective Monday, an FHA or VA-insured home mortgage loan can cost you 13 percent.

2022
02:39:19,000 --> 02:39:23,000
Speaking of homes, Pixar, the legendary Beverly Hills home of silent screen stars

2023
02:39:23,000 --> 02:39:27,000
Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks were sold today, $5.3 million.

2024
02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:34,000
Four motors recalling 36,000 new model light trucks with four-wheel drive to check out the front and rear drive shaft nuts.

2025
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:37,000
Keith Berman, ABC, contemporary news.

2026
02:39:37,000 --> 02:39:43,000
At Kansas City, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/kansas-city-royals/1980/overview/>Kansas City Royals</a> and the Oakland A's, after six innings of play,

2027
02:39:43,000 --> 02:39:49,000
after five innings, it's Kansas City 10, Oakland nothing but the big news, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a>.

2028
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:55,000
Second time up, sacrifice fly, no charge to bat, second time at bat, base hit, batting average an even 400.

2029
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:03,000
Second time up, officially, fair setting, base hit, he's two for two, and batting 401.

2030
02:40:08,000 --> 02:40:12,000
Well, at X-Ring ballgames this year, the Orioles have had it a little bit tough.

2031
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:15,000
They've won four and they have lost six.

2032
02:40:15,000 --> 02:40:20,000
The Blue Jays have done a whole lot better in X-Ring ballgames, they've played quite a few more.

2033
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:22,000
They have won nine and lost six.

2034
02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a>, now the Orioles' second baseman, the new right fielder is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mark-corey/>Mark Corey</a>,

2035
02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:32,000
and it'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> in the top of the tenth, and we turn you back to Tom Lahr.

2036
02:40:32,000 --> 02:40:36,000
Thank you, Chuck. Here's the first pitch from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>, swinging a miss at a breaking pitch from Dennis.

2037
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:42,000
Dennis has gone five and two-thirds tonight, giving up a run on two hits, striking out two and walking one.

2038
02:40:42,000 --> 02:40:46,000
He's in this game in relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>.

2039
02:40:46,000 --> 02:40:52,000
Howell is the leadoff batter for Toronto, the next pitch of Martinez's high, one ball and one strike.

2040
02:40:52,000 --> 02:40:56,000
Roy tonight is one for four, he's singled in the fifth inning.

2041
02:40:56,000 --> 02:40:59,000
He'll be followed by Mayberry and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-braun/>Steve Braun</a>.

2042
02:40:59,000 --> 02:41:05,000
Here's the one-one pitch to Dennis, and he follows it back, one ball and two strikes to come.

2043
02:41:05,000 --> 02:41:07,000
Toronto took the early lead, three to one.

2044
02:41:07,000 --> 02:41:12,000
The Orioles got one back in the first, then they tied it in the Toronto one-off.

2045
02:41:12,000 --> 02:41:17,000
In front, now we'll get to that in just a moment.

2046
02:41:17,000 --> 02:41:25,000
Now we have a fan running onto the field towards Doug DeSensei, and now this entire crowd is going to be inconvenient.

2047
02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:27,000
I was starting to tell you about the scoring.

2048
02:41:27,000 --> 02:41:35,000
Now the entire crowd is going to be inconvenienced by some dingbat who has just run onto the field, and now he's headed for center field.

2049
02:41:35,000 --> 02:41:44,000
And I'll tell you what, Baltimore's finest will get the cups on him in a few minutes.

2050
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:54,000
The Orioles tied the game in the third inning, and Toronto went up in front four to three in the fourth inning,

2051
02:41:54,000 --> 02:42:00,000
and the Birds came back to take the lead five to four, Toronto tied it in the sixth inning.

2052
02:42:00,000 --> 02:42:07,000
We now see that they have that man in custody, and we're ready to get back to the game of baseball.

2053
02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:09,000
One ball, two strikes to count the house.

2054
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:13,000
Dennis down the hill with his next pitch swing, and he got a piece of it.

2055
02:42:13,000 --> 02:42:17,000
One ball and two strikes, a breaking pitch from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

2056
02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:27,000
When Dennis pitched against the Blue Jays at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/exhibition-stadium/>Exhibition Stadium</a> in Toronto last Sunday, he was the loser, and he just was not very effective in that game.

2057
02:42:27,000 --> 02:42:37,000
The 90's been very sharp. Knock on wood.

2058
02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:45,000
One ball, two strikes pitch is on the way, and it's lined down into the left field area, and it's a foul ball.

2059
02:42:45,000 --> 02:42:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> goes to the opposite field, and that one wasn't far, a foul by too much.

2060
02:42:49,000 --> 02:42:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-stewart/>Sammy Stewart</a> and Tiffy Martinez are warming up the Oriole bullpen.

2061
02:42:53,000 --> 02:43:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-brown-1984/>Bobby Brown</a> has hit a home run on the seventh inning with nobody on for the Yankees, and they've taken a two-to-one lead over the Red Sox.

2062
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:06,000
The outfield is pretty well spread out against this left-hander.

2063
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:11,000
Again, Dennis will come home with a one-two pitch. It's on the way, and there's a looper hit out in the center field.

2064
02:43:11,000 --> 02:43:16,000
Bumpery charges in, and he'll make some hits, and Howell is the first out in the tenth inning.

2065
02:43:16,000 --> 02:43:19,000
That'll bring up Mayberry.

2066
02:43:19,000 --> 02:43:23,000
And Mayberry has a ten-game inning streak on the line tonight.

2067
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:32,000
He has not yet extended it to eleven. He walked in the first inning of the quarter run, popped up in the third, went down on strikes in the fifth, and pops up again in the seventh.

2068
02:43:32,000 --> 02:43:40,000
Big left-handed batter against the right-handed pitching of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> with one out and nobody on. It's all tied up at five-five.

2069
02:43:40,000 --> 02:43:46,000
First pitch is a ball. One ball and no strikes to come. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-brown-browst21/>Steve Brown</a>, the designated hitter, is on deck.

2070
02:43:46,000 --> 02:43:49,000
They play Mayberry to go to right field.

2071
02:43:49,000 --> 02:43:56,000
One ball pitch, and it's a called strike. One ball and one strike to count.

2072
02:43:56,000 --> 02:44:01,000
Good heartbreaking stuff from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

2073
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:10,000
So the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-brown-1984/>Bobby Brown</a> home run of the seventh puts the Yankees up two-one against the Red Sox.

2074
02:44:10,000 --> 02:44:19,000
Here in Baltimore, five runs on eleven hits from the Orioles, five runs on eight hits. Well, the Serrano Bluejays, and now it looks as if...

2075
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:22,000
Well, it looks like he might have given him the sun. What do you think, Chuckie?

2076
02:44:22,000 --> 02:44:29,000
It looks to me as though by Palermo's gesture he's invited Mayberry to take his act to the dugout.

2077
02:44:29,000 --> 02:44:38,000
Now, you could misinterpret that gesture, but it looks to me like Palermo was just saying, hey, that's enough. I'm not going to listen anymore. You're gone.

2078
02:44:38,000 --> 02:44:47,000
Well, the count is one ball and one strike, and by the reaction to the manager, Chuck, Bobby Maddux, you know, if he was going to stay in the game, he wouldn't be coming out and put up the beef.

2079
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:51,000
But Palermo, you know, usually they'll give the thumb or the direct side to the dugout.

2080
02:44:51,000 --> 02:45:01,000
Steve Palermo, just in an underhanded manner, pointed over towards the Serrano dugout, and that looks like a different Mayberry with the count of one ball and one strike.

2081
02:45:01,000 --> 02:45:09,000
I'll say one thing, John didn't put up much of a fuss. He went over and got his say, and now he's slowly walking off the field.

2082
02:45:09,000 --> 02:45:15,000
And Bobby Maddux is now still going at it with Palermo. He's pointing out a guess to the scoreboard.

2083
02:45:15,000 --> 02:45:24,000
And, you know, the Toronto Bluejays, they're not laying down for anybody. They played the Yankee stuff in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. They played the Orioles stuff last weekend.

2084
02:45:24,000 --> 02:45:36,000
Here we are on the 10th inning tonight of a 5-5 game, and their man with the big net, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>, 26-hole run, gets what I think is a mighty quick thumb in this situation.

2085
02:45:36,000 --> 02:45:44,000
I don't know about you, Chuck, from Palermo, and it seemed to happen to Weaver in Detroit last week, but here's a player who's very important. He must have done pretty bad.

2086
02:45:44,000 --> 02:45:54,000
Well, apparently Mayberry had to say something that would be, you know, really, really uncalled for, or Palermo would not have reacted the way he did.

2087
02:45:54,000 --> 02:46:01,000
But that's a very difficult, you know, blow for the Bluejays.

2088
02:46:01,000 --> 02:46:07,000
Mayberry just had to say something that was very, very out of line, and Palermo just told him to leave.

2089
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:16,000
And it'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-upshaw/>Willie Upshaw</a>. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-upshaw/>Willie Upshaw</a> will now take over for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a>.

2090
02:46:16,000 --> 02:46:27,000
Mayberry now is in there with 26-hole runs and 77 runs batted in, and now Upshaw will move in. He has yet to hit a home run.

2091
02:46:27,000 --> 02:46:34,000
He has three runs batted in. He's only been up here for 25 ball games and is hitting 163.

2092
02:46:34,000 --> 02:46:43,000
Kansas City's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a>, single again in the fifth inning. He's now two for two tonight, Tom. And the Brett batting average is 401.

2093
02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:50,000
Boy, that fry advice is really paying off, isn't it? Apparently they're listening a little bit, yeah.

2094
02:46:50,000 --> 02:47:01,000
Birdmeier is now pitching for Boston in the seventh inning. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-brown-1984/>Bobby Brown</a>-Homert for the Yankees up there to make it now to New York 2, Boston 1, and they're still at the bottom of the seventh.

2095
02:47:01,000 --> 02:47:06,000
One ball, one strike, and here is Upshaw against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>. Sorry, Tom.

2096
02:47:06,000 --> 02:47:10,000
Dennis will look in and get the sign from Dempsey.

2097
02:47:10,000 --> 02:47:17,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-upshaw/>Willie Upshaw</a> at a tie, two balls and one strike. The sentry a third for the Orioles. The Langer is short.

2098
02:47:17,000 --> 02:47:22,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a> now the second baseman. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> at first. Dempsey behind the plate. Graham started the game.

2099
02:47:22,000 --> 02:47:31,000
Murray in center field and Renneke in left. 2-1 pitch is on the way to Upshaw, and he fouls one off on the left side.

2100
02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:43,000
Gary Renneke straight away in left field. Al Bumpery against this left-hander is cut to the left field side, and Corey is playing straight away against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-upshaw/>Willie Upshaw</a> in right field.

2101
02:47:43,000 --> 02:47:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a> has been thrown out of the game.

2102
02:47:49,000 --> 02:47:55,000
Murray with a long look to Dempsey, rather Martinez, and here's the pitch, and they pop him up to the left side.

2103
02:47:55,000 --> 02:48:03,000
The Langer is moving over under. That is DeSensei, and Mark will give way to Doug, and he'll make the catch.

2104
02:48:03,000 --> 02:48:09,000
So Upshaw pops up to DeSensei, and you better believe that Bobby Gattick is really doing the slow burn now.

2105
02:48:09,000 --> 02:48:14,000
Here's a guy with a 10-game innings streak on the line. Five home runs in 10 games.

2106
02:48:14,000 --> 02:48:21,000
Hasn't had a hit tonight. Maybe you'd say he's due. Now Mayberry must have said something to Steve Palermo.

2107
02:48:21,000 --> 02:48:25,000
I imagine he had to use some kind of profanity to get the thumb that quick.

2108
02:48:25,000 --> 02:48:34,000
Here's Braun with two outs and nobody on, and Martinez pitches in there for a call strike.

2109
02:48:34,000 --> 02:48:39,000
Braun is one for Fordham, and one for three with a walk.

2110
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:45,000
Dennis is one strike pitch. Call strike two. Martinez changes up and brings one in at the letters.

2111
02:48:45,000 --> 02:48:48,000
Two strikes to count with two outs.

2112
02:48:53,000 --> 02:48:58,000
Dennis will work again. Here's the pitch, and it's low. One ball, two strikes to count.

2113
02:48:58,000 --> 02:49:08,000
The Orioles and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> all nodded up at 5-5. We're in the top of the 10th inning.

2114
02:49:08,000 --> 02:49:12,000
A pitch, a ground ball foul on the right side. Someone's up in the Oriole bullpen, but I'll tell you what,

2115
02:49:12,000 --> 02:49:16,000
they're not warming up, they're just standing and looking at what's going on here.

2116
02:49:20,000 --> 02:49:26,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-stewart/>Sammy Stewart</a> and Tippie are up, just keeping an eye on Martinez. He's sparkled and released tonight.

2117
02:49:28,000 --> 02:49:32,000
Two outs for the Blue Jays. Braun trying to keep them going here in the 10th inning.

2118
02:49:32,000 --> 02:49:35,000
The on deck batter is Mosley.

2119
02:49:35,000 --> 02:49:42,000
One-two pitch. It's low ball two. Two balls and two strikes to count.

2120
02:49:46,000 --> 02:49:52,000
The starters in this game, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>. He has long departed.

2121
02:49:55,000 --> 02:50:01,000
Here comes the 2-2 delivery high fly ball right field, Corey going back, Dill going back. Home run.

2122
02:50:01,000 --> 02:50:11,000
D. Braun. The lights have not gone up, but they have dimmed somewhat as Braun goes deep against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>,

2123
02:50:11,000 --> 02:50:14,000
the first home run for Braun this year.

2124
02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:22,000
And the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> have taken the lead by a score of 6-5.

2125
02:50:22,000 --> 02:50:28,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-miller/>Mike Miller</a>, Lloyd Mosby.

2126
02:50:30,000 --> 02:50:33,000
Lloyd Mosby is now the batter.

2127
02:50:38,000 --> 02:50:42,000
Mosby steps in against Dennis. Here's the first pitch to Lloyd.

2128
02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:46,000
And it's a ball, one ball and no strikes to count.

2129
02:50:46,000 --> 02:50:54,000
Mosby tonight is one for three, two run double. And he's walked. The pitch to him has fouled off.

2130
02:50:57,000 --> 02:51:02,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackson-todd/>Jackson Todd</a>, the starter for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>. He's at his shower.

2131
02:51:05,000 --> 02:51:10,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-braun/>Steve Braun</a>, if you're a Blue Jays fan, takes a great time to get his first home run.

2132
02:51:10,000 --> 02:51:14,000
He's not known as a power hitter. Here comes the 1-1 delivery. It's high.

2133
02:51:14,000 --> 02:51:17,000
Two balls and one strike to count.

2134
02:51:25,000 --> 02:51:28,000
Dempsey. That's the target again for Dennis.

2135
02:51:28,000 --> 02:51:34,000
Pitch is on the way and a line drive out into left center field. That's going to fall in for a base hit.

2136
02:51:35,000 --> 02:51:38,000
A big turn by Mosby at first and he'll get back.

2137
02:51:38,000 --> 02:51:43,000
So Dennis started the inning getting a high ball to center field.

2138
02:51:43,000 --> 02:51:51,000
Then Upshaw popped up. Upshaw came in to take the place of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a> who was thrown out. Braun goes deep to right field.

2139
02:51:51,000 --> 02:51:56,000
Mosby singles to left center. And now here's pitching coach <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ray-miller/>Ray Miller</a>.

2140
02:51:56,000 --> 02:52:02,000
And there is activity underway in the Oreo bullpen.

2141
02:52:02,000 --> 02:52:11,000
Toronto has taken the lead 6-5. Six runs on ten hits for the Blue Jays and five runs, eleven hits for the Orioles.

2142
02:52:11,000 --> 02:52:17,000
Now the birds have come back. Walden wants tonight. They'll have to do it again now.

2143
02:52:17,000 --> 02:52:20,000
Bob Baylor is up.

2144
02:52:20,000 --> 02:52:23,000
Baylor grounded out his first time up in the first inning.

2145
02:52:23,000 --> 02:52:29,000
Then he singled in the fourth, dropped up in the sixth and lined up in the eighth inning.

2146
02:52:29,000 --> 02:52:33,000
Gostich is now pitching for New York in the eighth inning.

2147
02:52:38,000 --> 02:52:40,000
Mosby the runner at first base.

2148
02:52:43,000 --> 02:52:49,000
Now the pitch almost gets away from Dempsey. One ball and no strikes to count. The Yankees leading Boston 2-1.

2149
02:52:51,000 --> 02:52:56,000
I think the best line I heard on Gostich this year was by Lowenstein. They asked him, you know, was that a strike he threw you in?

2150
02:52:56,000 --> 02:53:00,000
Lowenstein said to him after an appearance here at the stadium, it sounded like a strike.

2151
02:53:02,000 --> 02:53:07,000
The runner goes. Here's the pitch. It's high. Dempsey fires one out to second base. Carthi and Kiko drops the ball.

2152
02:53:11,000 --> 02:53:15,000
Mosby was going on the pitch. The count is now 2-0 to Bobby Baylor.

2153
02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:19,000
Credit Mosby with a stolen base.

2154
02:53:19,000 --> 02:53:24,000
And it's his third on the year.

2155
02:53:29,000 --> 02:53:34,000
Mosby now in scoring position. 2-0 the count to Baylor.

2156
02:53:36,000 --> 02:53:42,000
Dennis looks to second. Here's the pitch to Bob Baylor. There's a high fly ball out to left field, shallow left field.

2157
02:53:42,000 --> 02:53:49,000
Kiko runs it. He moves under it. Makes the catch. And that's all for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>. And now before they pick up a run on the draw, an all-run.

2158
02:53:49,000 --> 02:53:52,000
Again, the nine and a half to score is Toronto 6, Baltimore 5.

2159
02:53:53,000 --> 02:54:00,000
All-time Monday winner spectacular bid is the solid favorite in a field of three for Saturday's Woodward Stakes at New York's Belmont Park.

2160
02:54:01,000 --> 02:54:11,000
The first leg of the championship series, the Marlboro Cup, belongs to winner's tail, Espeedy Gelding, who captured the event by four and a half lengths two weeks ago.

2161
02:54:11,000 --> 02:54:19,000
Trainer Bud Delfin says that it doesn't matter whether there are two of 22 horses in the race. He says we're in great shape and we are ready.

2162
02:54:19,000 --> 02:54:27,000
The Woodward Wait for Age race should be a three-horse contest between bid, winter's tail, and Speedy Dr. Patches.

2163
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:31,000
Belmont Stakes winner, Temperance Hill, is also entered.

2164
02:54:31,000 --> 02:54:41,000
But will be scratched unless bid or winter's tail are withdrawn first.

2165
02:54:41,000 --> 02:54:48,000
Linebacker John Mooring, cut by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-lions/1980/overview/>Detroit Lions</a> earlier this season, is signed with the injury play, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-browns/1980/overview/>Cleveland Browns</a>, to fill the vacancy left by Jerry Scherck.

2166
02:54:48,000 --> 02:54:54,000
Mooring is 6'3", weighs 2'30", and was released by the Lions after the first regular season game.

2167
02:54:54,000 --> 02:54:58,000
The 23-year-old was an eighth-round draft pick by Detroit last year.

2168
02:54:58,000 --> 02:55:03,000
Well, we're going to the bottom of the 10th inning before we get there.

2169
02:55:03,000 --> 02:55:12,000
Maddox Bobby is out talking to Palermo again, and I would think this gentleman of many years standing in baseball is letting Palermo get a little bit of a blast.

2170
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:22,000
And Palermo, of course, who is the umpire with the ability to dispatch players from the game if he thinks that their conduct is, you know, contrary to what it should be.

2171
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:26,000
I'm not sure whether Maddox is out of the ballgame or not. He might have been thrown out.

2172
02:55:26,000 --> 02:55:32,000
But the problem for the Orioles is immediate. They need a run. They need it right now.

2173
02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:47,000
And it will be Benny Aiello, Nick Gensley, and Doug DeFente in the bottom of the 10th inning against a fellow by the name of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>, who at his last 12 appearance for the Blue Jays has not given up a run.

2174
02:55:47,000 --> 02:55:52,000
And he puts water all over the fire for the Orioles in the ninth. They have runners at first and second.

2175
02:55:52,000 --> 02:55:57,000
He got Murray to ground into a double play and then Longstein with double and a fly ball to center field.

2176
02:55:57,000 --> 02:56:02,000
That was the end of that. I have a take the pitch high. One ball and no strikes to count.

2177
02:56:02,000 --> 02:56:09,000
The screwballer, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> to Benny Aiello. Here's the next pitch and a check swing foul ball back off the screen.

2178
02:56:09,000 --> 02:56:16,000
He's got a kind of a pitch. If you're sitting up here in the stands and you see him throw it, you say, gee, I ought to be able to hit that pitch to Kingman Town.

2179
02:56:16,000 --> 02:56:22,000
The only trouble is it starts bombing and floating when it reaches the plate.

2180
02:56:22,000 --> 02:56:28,000
Well, the Orioles need a run to tie at bottom of the 10th inning. One on one to count to Benny Aiello.

2181
02:56:28,000 --> 02:56:35,000
Here's the pitch to Benny and there's a fly ball out to shallow left field. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> is calling for it. He makes the catch.

2182
02:56:35,000 --> 02:56:44,000
And Benny Aiello is up number one in the 10th.

2183
02:56:44,000 --> 02:56:53,000
Batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>. Dempsey came on the pitch to hit the gram and the 10th inning went down on strikes and he popped up in the seventh inning.

2184
02:56:53,000 --> 02:57:01,000
Dempsey's looking for a hit tonight. This could be a very demoralizing loss for the Orioles.

2185
02:57:01,000 --> 02:57:12,000
The pitch to Dempsey is high for a ball. Ryan Opside, one ball and no strikes to count.

2186
02:57:12,000 --> 02:57:18,000
Dempsey steps in. Here's the one-all delivery. There's a line drive left field base hit.

2187
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:26,000
So Dempsey singles the left.

2188
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:31,000
All-line drive on one skip that made it to the outfield and that will bring up Doug Vicenta.

2189
02:57:31,000 --> 02:57:38,000
Now Vicenta is the Orioles leading hitter against the Toronto Blue Cays this year.

2190
02:57:38,000 --> 02:57:43,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> went on his off-squat in the four-game series of the exhibition stadium.

2191
02:57:43,000 --> 02:57:52,000
Doug on the year hitting very well against Toronto 375.

2192
02:57:52,000 --> 02:57:59,000
Dempsey the runner at first. Desensei is up. Here's the pitch to Doug and it's a ball. One ball and no strikes to count.

2193
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:04,000
I don't think there's anybody on this club right now that would like to deliver more than Doug Desensei.

2194
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:15,000
We had some remarks about Doug being in the doghouse for a statement he made after the Orioles lost to Tigers 8-3.

2195
02:58:15,000 --> 02:58:21,000
And what he says is that Dempsey said bring in the dogs, put up a fire, the hunt is over.

2196
02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:24,000
Right now he'd like to keep the hunt alive.

2197
02:58:24,000 --> 02:58:35,000
The one ball pitch to Desensei, the ground ball on 12-3 to Griffin. It's off his club out into right center field for a base hit. Dempsey will go all the way to third.

2198
02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:41,000
Desensei on what looked like a routine ground ball out to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>.

2199
02:58:41,000 --> 02:58:47,000
He had ran up his leg and out into right center field and they're going to give a base hit.

2200
02:58:47,000 --> 02:58:57,000
An error brother, an error to the shortstop <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>. And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>, this is one problem he's had this year.

2201
02:58:57,000 --> 02:59:07,000
He has committed 34 errors to second base. Dempsey wasted no time going down to third base on the error by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>.

2202
02:59:07,000 --> 02:59:15,000
He just misplayed the ball and ran up his leg and jammed out into right center field.

2203
02:59:15,000 --> 02:59:23,000
Well the Orioles are alive and well here in the bottom of the fifth inning.

2204
02:59:23,000 --> 02:59:36,000
There is one out. Mark Black was the schedule batter and now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> is calling on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a>.

2205
02:59:36,000 --> 02:59:46,000
You talk to Lee about the 1980 season, the one thing he'll tell you is that, I think he'll tell you I'm disappointed that I haven't made more of a contribution.

2206
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:54,000
Well he's got a chance right now. He'll try to figure out the stuff of this junk baller.

2207
02:59:54,000 --> 03:00:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>, one out, runners at first and third and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> is pinching in for Belanger.

2208
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:06,000
Here's the pitch to May, there's the ground ball and it's a fair ball to the left side of the third base line.

2209
03:00:06,000 --> 03:00:13,000
Dempsey comes home to try the game and Desensay will hold it up at third base as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> goes into second base.

2210
03:00:13,000 --> 03:00:21,000
The big slumper from Birmingham does it. A ground ball right up the line at third. Howell went over trying to make the play on it.

2211
03:00:21,000 --> 03:00:33,000
He couldn't. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> delivers and we're all mad up at 6'6 and they're off their feet at 33rd Street.

2212
03:00:33,000 --> 03:00:39,000
Chuck, you've got a couple of points that I'd like to make right now.

2213
03:00:39,000 --> 03:00:47,000
Number one, I'm sure a lot of people wondered about <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> and the bunt in the ninth inning with runners at first and second and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> at the plate.

2214
03:00:47,000 --> 03:00:57,000
And then I'm sure some people wondered about <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> who looks at a third strike for the base as long as Gervado in the top 13 in England.

2215
03:00:57,000 --> 03:01:07,000
That's the kind of a manager Weaver is. He'll stay with the people he believes in. They made him what he is, brought him where he is and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> has just delivered a big base at the diet.

2216
03:01:07,000 --> 03:01:19,000
As Bumbree is being given now an intentional walk with first base open, they are giving Bumbree an intentional walk and the Orioles have tied at 6'6 here in the bottom of the set.

2217
03:01:19,000 --> 03:01:26,000
And you know Chuck, the fans feel great for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a>. We feel good that he got the hit. But I'm telling you, those guys in the dugout feel better than anybody.

2218
03:01:26,000 --> 03:01:38,000
How true. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> has done so much for the Orioles club for so many years and he has just got the ground ball between the diving Howell, the third and the fly.

2219
03:01:38,000 --> 03:01:44,000
Rolled out in the left field, caromed off the box deep railing, may doubles, they had to stop the sensei a third base.

2220
03:01:44,000 --> 03:01:56,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> went to charging in the second and now Bobby Maddox is out there and he wants to talk to his third base, the Howell and his pitcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> from the catcher tonight Ernie Witt.

2221
03:01:56,000 --> 03:02:06,000
And the new batter for the Orioles will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a>. And behind Kiko it's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mark-corey/>Mark Corey</a>.

2222
03:02:06,000 --> 03:02:15,000
And now Palermo, the plate umpire, is headed for the mound and Bobby Maddox has apparently dispatched whatever information he found necessary.

2223
03:02:15,000 --> 03:02:22,000
And I know this when Maddox walks off the mound, he deliberately looks away from the umpire Palermo.

2224
03:02:22,000 --> 03:02:27,000
And now Maddox gets backpedaling into the dugout.

2225
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:36,000
And the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a>. And here he comes and to get back to the action let's get right back to Tom Harn.

2226
03:02:36,000 --> 03:02:45,000
Well here's another guy that has had problems at the bat this year, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a>.

2227
03:02:45,000 --> 03:02:53,000
He's had a horrendous year at the plate and he certainly is in a position now where he would love to contribute.

2228
03:02:53,000 --> 03:03:00,000
A 1.99 hitter with a base is loaded, one out here is a pitch to Kiko and he fouls one back over three.

2229
03:03:00,000 --> 03:03:05,000
Against Toronto, Kiko is a 3.81 hitter.

2230
03:03:05,000 --> 03:03:11,000
As Sensei is at third base, Lina is at second and Bumbree is at first.

2231
03:03:11,000 --> 03:03:16,000
Wouldn't like <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> like to come up with a pitcher-sat friend right now to double play.

2232
03:03:16,000 --> 03:03:22,000
The Orioles have tied it up. One strike to count to Kiko.

2233
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:26,000
There's no room for Garcia.

2234
03:03:26,000 --> 03:03:32,000
Fly ball would tie it. Here's the pitch to Kiko and he fouls one off to the right.

2235
03:03:32,000 --> 03:03:39,000
So the count to Garcia, two strikes, you would say the advantage usually of the situation goes to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>.

2236
03:03:39,000 --> 03:03:46,000
Now the Toronto outfield is playing very shallow against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a>. They know the fly ball is going to win the game.

2237
03:03:46,000 --> 03:03:53,000
They're playing shallow and just about straight away against Garcia. They want to try to cut off that run coming home.

2238
03:03:53,000 --> 03:03:56,000
Two strikes to count to Kiko. Willis is in one way and another chance.

2239
03:03:56,000 --> 03:04:04,000
Here's the pitch to Garcia and he bumps down and gets a set. They caught up coming home and Desensei is tagged out.

2240
03:04:04,000 --> 03:04:09,000
For the second out, Garcia is out on a strikeout.

2241
03:04:09,000 --> 03:04:17,000
The squeeze play was on and Desensei was caught up for the second out. So the lights go out for the Orioles in the tenth inning.

2242
03:04:17,000 --> 03:04:22,000
At the end of ten, it's Toronto six and Baltimore six.

2243
03:04:22,000 --> 03:04:30,000
At Kansas City, the Royals pretty much putting it to Oakland after six. It's Kansas City thirteen. Oakland nothing.

2244
03:04:30,000 --> 03:04:35,000
So the attention has been the case for the past several weeks. It's focused on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a>.

2245
03:04:35,000 --> 03:04:40,000
The first time up, he hit a sacrifice fly so he was not charged at the time.

2246
03:04:40,000 --> 03:04:44,000
At that second time up, base hit, raised his average to 400.

2247
03:04:44,000 --> 03:04:47,000
Next time up, base hit, raised his average to 401.

2248
03:04:47,000 --> 03:04:51,000
Next time up, whoops, fly down to center field.

2249
03:04:51,000 --> 03:04:56,000
So now he's two for three and his average is right at 400.

2250
03:04:56,000 --> 03:05:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> hitting at 400, two for three.

2251
03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:06,000
Earlier in that game, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-wilson/>Willie Wilson</a> stole his 29th consecutive base for Kansas City.

2252
03:05:06,000 --> 03:05:12,000
And that establishes a new <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1980/overview/>American League</a> stolen base record for consecutive field.

2253
03:05:12,000 --> 03:05:19,000
He established the record of 28 on Thursdays and now he's just surpassed his own record.

2254
03:05:19,000 --> 03:05:24,000
Elsewhere on the scoreboard, California leading Texas five to two in the eighth inning in Arlington.

2255
03:05:24,000 --> 03:05:28,000
Tanana for California, Matlack and Llewelyn for Texas.

2256
03:05:28,000 --> 03:05:31,000
And Minnesota are now on the top of the eighth at Bloomington.

2257
03:05:31,000 --> 03:05:36,000
Chicago leads it three to two.

2258
03:05:36,000 --> 03:05:38,000
Well, we're ready to go to the 11th inning.

2259
03:05:38,000 --> 03:05:46,000
Six-six now. The Orioles got the tie run in and they tried desperately to squeeze the winning run home.

2260
03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:52,000
And Garcia just couldn't get the bat on the ball and Druckau trying to drop the squeeze.

2261
03:05:52,000 --> 03:05:57,000
But they had defense. They hung out the drive between the plays on Thursday.

2262
03:05:57,000 --> 03:06:02,000
Now we have some changes in the infield. It'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/kiko-garcia/>Kiko Garcia</a> moving over to shortstop.

2263
03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:07,000
And at second base it'll be Lenz Cicada. Cicada is now at second base.

2264
03:06:07,000 --> 03:06:10,000
Garcia is now the shortstop.

2265
03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:17,000
And for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>, one of the reasons that we're still battling in overtime tonight in Baltimore

2266
03:06:17,000 --> 03:06:21,000
is the young man who's going to lead off to the top of the 11th, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a>,

2267
03:06:21,000 --> 03:06:28,000
hit his first major league home run back in the sixth inning to tie the game.

2268
03:06:28,000 --> 03:06:31,000
Thank you, Chuck. And Hodgson will step in against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

2269
03:06:31,000 --> 03:06:37,000
As Chuck told you, he went deep against Dennis. The first pitcher, Martinez, was high in type.

2270
03:06:37,000 --> 03:06:42,000
The Orioles, the Amah has to send for a third. Garcia is at short. Lenz Cicada is at second.

2271
03:06:42,000 --> 03:06:44,000
And Murray's at first.

2272
03:06:44,000 --> 03:06:51,000
The pitch was high at tight top. It is next to bat, foul. One strike to the car.

2273
03:06:51,000 --> 03:06:56,000
The next pitch swings at a miss. Dennis took something off that one. Two strikes to the car.

2274
03:06:56,000 --> 03:07:08,000
Renike's in left. Murray in center. And Kors is in right.

2275
03:07:08,000 --> 03:07:15,000
Next pitch to Hodgson's swing. And that's going to be the strikeoff, Victor, to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

2276
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:21,000
The only players who started this game for the Orioles who are still in it, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> at first.

2277
03:07:21,000 --> 03:07:26,000
Does since they have third. And now, Murray in center field.

2278
03:07:26,000 --> 03:07:40,000
Ernie Witt steps up. He is one for three with a walk tonight.

2279
03:07:40,000 --> 03:07:46,000
They play Ernie Witt to pull the ball to right field.

2280
03:07:46,000 --> 03:07:56,000
Martinez pitch. And it's a ball one. One ball and no strikes to come.

2281
03:07:56,000 --> 03:08:01,000
Six to six.

2282
03:08:01,000 --> 03:08:07,000
Next delivery to Witt. High five, all foul over in the seats as Desense gets changed.

2283
03:08:07,000 --> 03:08:15,000
Six runs off. Ten hits for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>. Six off. Thirteen for the Orioles. Each team has an error.

2284
03:08:15,000 --> 03:08:21,000
For sure, like the Orioles might put this game to bed with a victory in the last inning.

2285
03:08:21,000 --> 03:08:26,000
I'll tell you, Mr. Willis and Madison James.

2286
03:08:26,000 --> 03:08:32,000
The squeeze was put on and it didn't work.

2287
03:08:32,000 --> 03:08:38,000
One-one pitch. And it's fouled into the box. One ball and two strikes to come. Alfredo Griffith is on deck.

2288
03:08:38,000 --> 03:08:45,000
You know, he has to feel a little better right now because it was an error by Alfredo his thirty-fourth on the year.

2289
03:08:45,000 --> 03:08:53,000
That went to the Orioles tying it up at the tenth.

2290
03:08:53,000 --> 03:08:58,000
Now the Blue Jays lost it. Griffith would have had it on the go-horses.

2291
03:08:58,000 --> 03:09:07,000
Nobody on. One-two pitch for Martinez is on the way and the breaking pitch is high. So the count will go to two and two.

2292
03:09:07,000 --> 03:09:16,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-stewart/>Sammy Stewart</a> and Tippie up on the bullpen but not warming.

2293
03:09:16,000 --> 03:09:22,000
Fastball on the ground. Out to Garcia and Short. Takes him on the high hop. The go-to first in time.

2294
03:09:22,000 --> 03:09:27,000
And with his out. Six-three. So there are two outs with nobody on.

2295
03:09:27,000 --> 03:09:31,000
Going down. Alfredo. Seven minutes.

2296
03:09:31,000 --> 03:09:46,000
And here comes Alfredo. He is hit with in five trips to the plate tonight.

2297
03:09:46,000 --> 03:09:53,000
Against Martinez he's gone down on strikes. Out on a fly ball to the left and he's popped up.

2298
03:09:53,000 --> 03:09:59,000
First pitch to the switch hitter batting left handed is a called strike from Denman.

2299
03:09:59,000 --> 03:10:03,000
These two teams will be here again tomorrow night.

2300
03:10:03,000 --> 03:10:19,000
One strike pitch is fouled back so the count is two strikes.

2301
03:10:19,000 --> 03:10:24,000
If there's ever a team that's not laying down for anybody, they will claw and fight.

2302
03:10:24,000 --> 03:10:30,000
There's a two strike delivery. It's low. Griffin had a notion to go for it but didn't it.

2303
03:10:30,000 --> 03:10:33,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> close.

2304
03:10:33,000 --> 03:10:40,000
Well <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> struck out. I don't believe that. He's now only batting 399.

2305
03:10:40,000 --> 03:10:43,000
One-two pitch ground ball foul.

2306
03:10:43,000 --> 03:10:47,000
Sometimes you can look at a team like the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-angels/1980/overview/>California Angels</a> with the Orioles face that.

2307
03:10:47,000 --> 03:10:51,000
They just look like a listless team. They got up for one game here against the Orioles.

2308
03:10:51,000 --> 03:10:58,000
They played well against them but when you look at the Blue Jays, it's not a team loaded with superstars and high salaries.

2309
03:10:58,000 --> 03:11:02,000
A lot of guys trying to survive in the bigs.

2310
03:11:02,000 --> 03:11:09,000
One-two delivery to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> and it's high. Two balls and two strikes to count.

2311
03:11:09,000 --> 03:11:13,000
Nesci thought sure that it was a called strike three.

2312
03:11:13,000 --> 03:11:19,000
So did Martinez as he broke for the dugout but Steve Palermo says no way and there's not much beeping going on.

2313
03:11:19,000 --> 03:11:24,000
Two balls, two strikes to count to Alfredo.

2314
03:11:24,000 --> 03:11:28,000
Now Dennis wants a new baseball.

2315
03:11:28,000 --> 03:11:34,000
Alfredo is batting left handed but Corey well off the line at right field.

2316
03:11:34,000 --> 03:11:39,000
Lumbric up to the left field side and Bernanke guards the line at left.

2317
03:11:39,000 --> 03:11:41,000
Two-two pitch.

2318
03:11:41,000 --> 03:11:47,000
Good looking breaking pitch but just a bit out of the Steve Palermo strike zone.

2319
03:11:47,000 --> 03:11:54,000
So the count goes full. Three balls and two strikes with two up.

2320
03:11:54,000 --> 03:11:57,000
Six to six game.

2321
03:11:57,000 --> 03:12:06,000
Dennis down the hill with a three-two delivery and it's fouled off to the left side into the box seat.

2322
03:12:06,000 --> 03:12:12,000
Not the only thing left now as far as the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/kansas-city-royals/1980/overview/>Kansas City Royals</a> are concerned. It's called the George Brest beat.

2323
03:12:12,000 --> 03:12:13,000
Will he hit 400?

2324
03:12:13,000 --> 03:12:20,000
I'll tell you there's one fellow rooting for him to hit 400. His name is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-williams/>Ted Williams</a>.

2325
03:12:20,000 --> 03:12:28,000
Again here comes the three-two delivery to Griffin and the pitch is high and Alfredo walks.

2326
03:12:28,000 --> 03:12:34,000
So the go ahead run of the 11th Griffin walks and here comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ray-miller/>Ray Miller</a>.

2327
03:12:34,000 --> 03:12:38,000
Out the dog with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a>.

2328
03:12:38,000 --> 03:12:43,000
And they're going to plan strategy for Tommaso Garcia who's scored his first time.

2329
03:12:43,000 --> 03:12:45,000
Then went down on strikes to bomber.

2330
03:12:45,000 --> 03:12:54,000
Round about the fifth, sixth, fifth, seventh and ninth inning.

2331
03:12:54,000 --> 03:12:59,000
I'll tell you if you want to see a club that plays a pretty good baseball this weekend come out and look at this Blue J Club.

2332
03:12:59,000 --> 03:13:03,000
They're loose as a goose. They don't have a thing to lose.

2333
03:13:03,000 --> 03:13:08,000
They're fired up as a result of the Steinbrenner nonsense.

2334
03:13:08,000 --> 03:13:11,000
They've been playing some pretty good baseball lately.

2335
03:13:11,000 --> 03:13:18,000
Who would think that after a depressing loss to the Yankees when the Yankees came back last night to score four runs to the tenth and win in the 13th.

2336
03:13:18,000 --> 03:13:30,000
Who would think that the Blue J's would win the second game and that a pitcher by the name of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/luis-leal/>Luis Leal</a> would pitch a two-hitter against the Yankees.

2337
03:13:30,000 --> 03:13:38,000
While Tommaso's up with Griffin at first base.

2338
03:13:38,000 --> 03:13:42,000
Look to the runner. Here's the pitch to Griffin and it was in the dirt.

2339
03:13:42,000 --> 03:13:46,000
Tommaso was going to go for it but held back. One ball and no strikes to the count.

2340
03:13:46,000 --> 03:13:53,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> just splurged over the idea of trying to go to second until he looked down at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>.

2341
03:13:53,000 --> 03:13:59,000
Dempsey with a menacing look on his face and that ball in his hand that he's cut away from for a moment said I dare you.

2342
03:13:59,000 --> 03:14:06,000
The end of eighth at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> 2-1 New York over Boston.

2343
03:14:06,000 --> 03:14:21,000
Throw to first and Griffin dives back in safely.

2344
03:14:21,000 --> 03:14:26,000
Again the throw to first and Alfredo is back.

2345
03:14:26,000 --> 03:14:36,000
Coming into the game tonight <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a> at 16 stolen bases but he has been thrown out 23-9.

2346
03:14:36,000 --> 03:14:41,000
Dennis again looks over the shoulder to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/alfredo-griffin/>Alfredo Griffin</a>. Here's the pitch to Garcia. They pop him up to the left side.

2347
03:14:41,000 --> 03:14:46,000
It should be no problem for Dempsey. It should be a piece of cake near the line. Makes the catch and then hits.

2348
03:14:46,000 --> 03:14:49,000
With a Toronto Blue J's in the 11th.

2349
03:14:49,000 --> 03:14:55,000
And at the end it's 10-1-1.5 from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a>. The score continues Toronto 6-Potamor.

2350
03:14:55,000 --> 03:15:04,000
Final score in from Milwaukee. The Brewers shutting out Seattle 4-0 on a five hit shutout by McQuarrie who's now 4-7.

2351
03:15:04,000 --> 03:15:12,000
Four runs, nine hits and one error for Milwaukee and for Seattle no runs, five hits and one error.

2352
03:15:12,000 --> 03:15:23,000
So Bob McQuarrie with that five hit shutout, four and seven. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-honeycutt/>Rick Honeycutt</a> the starter and Honeycutt the loser drops nine wins and 17 losses.

2353
03:15:23,000 --> 03:15:30,000
As you probably heard from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-marr/>Tom Marr</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> struck out in his final time at batter the last time he was up.

2354
03:15:30,000 --> 03:15:40,000
That was in his sixth inning as the Oakland A's and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/kansas-city-royals/1980/overview/>Kansas City Royals</a> are now in the top of the seventh with Kansas City with a lot of at bats for everybody leading that game 13-0.

2355
03:15:40,000 --> 03:15:45,000
A single run in the first, five more in the third, four more in the fifth and three more in the sixth.

2356
03:15:45,000 --> 03:15:51,000
But Brett is two for four in that game and he's now dropped to 3-99.

2357
03:15:51,000 --> 03:15:59,000
His first time at bat he sacrificed, he singled his next two trips and then flied out and now has just struck out.

2358
03:15:59,000 --> 03:16:06,000
Well we go now to the bottom of the 11th inning of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/memorial-stadium-illinois/>Memorial Stadium</a> in Baltimore and it's a six, six, five, six runs, ten hits and error.

2359
03:16:06,000 --> 03:16:15,000
Toronto, six runs, 13 hits and error. Baltimore and Mark Quarrie is going to make his first plate appearance.

2360
03:16:15,000 --> 03:16:30,000
Quarrie will be the leadoff hitter and following him will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>. Out of the mound is the true ball throwing Mike Willard who believes has shown the Orioles some absolutely stunning relief.

2361
03:16:30,000 --> 03:16:36,000
Not only here but up in Toronto the last time we saw him. He's had an inning in the third in excellent shape.

2362
03:16:36,000 --> 03:16:42,000
He has pitched his way out of two nasty jams here tonight in the late inning. Tom?

2363
03:16:42,000 --> 03:16:52,000
This is the first pitch to Mark Quarrie out of the call strike. Talk about somebody who at five o'clock in batting practice can hit the ball a mile and a half at Quarrie.

2364
03:16:52,000 --> 03:17:05,000
One strike to count to mark the next big tech swing. A little soft liner out to the first baseman to add Quarrie O'Gough.

2365
03:17:05,000 --> 03:17:19,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> now to batter. Murray lines up.

2366
03:17:19,000 --> 03:17:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>'s up. Willis will work to Murray and it's a call strike. Eddie was out on the fly ball his first time up and then went down on the strike.

2367
03:17:35,000 --> 03:17:49,000
He's on the fifth, walked in the seventh and grounded into a double play on the ninth. Willis has come out of a couple of jams. He's pulled a Houdini act on the Orioles tonight.

2368
03:17:49,000 --> 03:17:57,000
Next pitch to Eddie and it's one ball and one strike to count. The on deck batter is Gary Renegi.

2369
03:17:57,000 --> 03:18:08,000
Eddie Martinez is throwing in the Oreo bullpen. It looks like Farlo is up in the Toronto pen.

2370
03:18:08,000 --> 03:18:16,000
Here comes the one, one pitch to Eddie from Willis and he fouls it off. One ball and two strikes to count.

2371
03:18:16,000 --> 03:18:31,000
Like to know if Charlie Bree is registering this guy Willis on the radar gun down there. He does not have an overwhelming amount of alopony on his pitches.

2372
03:18:31,000 --> 03:18:47,000
Six to six. Eddie could end it with one swing of the bat. Here comes the one, two pitch. Check swing ground ball foul.

2373
03:18:47,000 --> 03:19:01,000
Willis has the batters kind of lunging with that off speed stuff that he brings up there. Quite a few check swings. Corey the first batter. Check swing soft liner out to the first baseman upshot.

2374
03:19:01,000 --> 03:19:13,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-mayberry/>John Mayberry</a> was thrown out of this game after complaining to Palermo with a one, one count upshot came in and popped up. And he's now the first baseman.

2375
03:19:13,000 --> 03:19:23,000
He's now taking his time. One ball and two strikes to count with one out to nobody on. Willis is ready to work. Here comes the one, two delivery fastball on the ground.

2376
03:19:23,000 --> 03:19:43,000
He's in the center field for an <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> base hit. An <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a> single to center field. Eddie's second hit on the night. That will bring up Gary Rennick. There's one out and the birds trying to put this game on ice.

2377
03:19:43,000 --> 03:19:59,000
The Red Sox have given it up again. This time in a close contest at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. Two to one thick cream. Franco the loser, Tia the winner. And for the Goose Cottage chalk up save number 29.

2378
03:19:59,000 --> 03:20:15,000
Yankees win it two to one. All the more importantly Orioles win. Here's the pitch to Rennick and it's a ball. One ball and no strikes to count. Danny Aiello is the on deck batter. Rennick came into the game of the fifth inning and was hit by a pitch.

2379
03:20:15,000 --> 03:20:31,000
Next pitch Gary, ground ball. Down to Howard the third. Throw to second for one. Back to Fred and it's in time for the double play. Five four three double play. And at the end of 11 innings the score is Toronto six Baltimore six.

2380
03:20:31,000 --> 03:20:47,000
On the scoreboard Cleveland and Detroit are now on the top of the ninth at Detroit. Oshinko and Monge for Cleveland. Shraksheter and Lopez for Detroit. And the Tigers lead four to three. Brookens hit his eighth home run of the season for Detroit with one on in the fourth.

2381
03:20:47,000 --> 03:21:03,000
The line score for the Yankee Boston game two run seven hits no errors for New York. One run eight hits no errors for Boston. Franco Bergmeyer and Stanley for Boston. Theon and Gossage for New York. Theon the winner seven and nine. 29 save of the season for Gossage.

2382
03:21:03,000 --> 03:21:22,000
Franco the loser he's nine and eight. Brown hit his 12th home run for the Yankees with none on in the seventh. Milwaukee four nothing over Seattle. Four nine and one for Milwaukee. No runs five hits in an error for Seattle. Honeycutt and McClure both went the distance. McClure the winner four and seven. Honeycutt the loser nine and 17.

2383
03:21:22,000 --> 03:21:38,000
California and Texas are now in the bottom of the ninth at Arlington and California leads six to two. Tenana for California. Matmac and Llewelyn for Texas. Oakland and Kansas City are in the bottom of the seventh in Kansas City. The Royals lead 13 to nothing.

2384
03:21:38,000 --> 03:22:00,000
Kingman Beard Jones and Hamilton for Oakland. Swithorne for Kansas City. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-brett/>George Brett</a> is two for four. His batting average right now is at three ninety nine. Right now this pause for station identification. This is the American Forces radio and television service.

2385
03:22:00,000 --> 03:22:15,000
Well <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-martinez/>Dennis Martinez</a> is out of the game. He came in a relief with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-palmer/>Jim Palmer</a>. Goes seven and two thirds innings. Giving up two runs. Hope on home runs. Debron and Hudson. Dennis gives up four hits. Striking out three and walking three.

2386
03:22:15,000 --> 03:22:34,000
Tippi Martinez now comes into the game and hold on to your rocking chairs because this is far from over. Tippi's record is two and three. His ERA is two point three point two seven. He fits a total of seventy one and two thirds innings. Has ten saves to his record.

2387
03:22:34,000 --> 03:22:50,000
He has walked thirty two while striking out sixty and he's given up the whole run. Five times. Y'all push and Nelson <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-mirabella/>Paul Mirabella</a>. Had a very good relief outing for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a> tonight. Let's go to the scoreboard now.

2388
03:22:50,000 --> 03:23:06,000
The Yankees win again. Beating Boston two to one. Beating the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1980/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> with a fifth straight time. In Detroit the Tigers lead Cleveland at the end of eight four and three. In Milwaukee tonight the Brewers shut out Seattle four to nothing. In Texas in the bottom of the ninth.

2389
03:23:06,000 --> 03:23:21,000
In California you lead Texas six to two. Kansas City coming open thirteen to nothing. Chicago and Minnesota seven and a half complete. Chicago leads at three two. Now here's the shot. Thank you Tom. Here we go. The top of the 12th inning.

2390
03:23:21,000 --> 03:23:38,000
Left handed swinging <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> leading off against Baltimore's Tippi Martinez. Look out here's a ball right up under the chin of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a>. He kind of was riding in right over the top of the plate. Tippi's first offering kind of took off and ran up and in it.

2391
03:23:38,000 --> 03:23:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roy-howell/>Roy Howell</a> and he seems to be OK. The place to be when you get a pitch like that is someplace else. Roy got there as quickly as he could. Ball one. Howell tonight has one hit in five trips.

2392
03:23:53,000 --> 03:24:11,000
He's got a single to center field back in the fifth inning. We're waiting for Roy to get everything back together again. He's perfectly all right and now we're ready to go. Now the one other pitch is a swing and a ground ball to the second baseman.

2393
03:24:11,000 --> 03:24:29,000
He makes a pick up a throw and Howell is the first out of his welcome. Now the Yankees have won it over the Red Sox and they are using a formula that <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-weaver/>Earl Weaver</a> designed last year here in Baltimore.

2394
03:24:29,000 --> 03:24:43,000
The Yankees tonight call upon that deep depth. They got the home run from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-brown-1984/>Bobby Brown</a> tonight. Win it two to one over the Red Sox. Here now is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-upshaw/>Willie Upshaw</a> and a strike just called and a check swing.

2395
03:24:43,000 --> 03:25:03,000
Upshaw started trying to stop it. Apparently he did not get it done. One strike is rung up by Palermo who threw Mayberry out of the ball game back on the tenth inning when Mayberry beat Filbert called strike. Now a ball is outside to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-upshaw/>Willie Upshaw</a>.

2396
03:25:03,000 --> 03:25:21,000
One ball one strike down Upshaw. It has only played appearance. He popped to the third baseman. Swing and a miss to the curve ball. There are some nights when Tiffy will bring one of the dark on the curve balls from the league to the mound.

2397
03:25:21,000 --> 03:25:35,000
And he's kind of sneaky quick. Now the motion for the one two offering. It's outside. Two balls two strikes. The Orioles know that the Yankees have won. They know what they have to do.

2398
03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:52,000
Now they split four games against Toronto in Toronto. The Blue Jays are hammering away. Swing and a miss. Upshaw goes down. Strikeout number one for Tiffy. The second out of the top of the twelfth of the batter now is going to be Steve Vaughn.

2399
03:25:52,000 --> 03:26:17,000
This left handed plowder tied the ball game. They'll actually put the Blue Jays in front six to five with a two out solo home run of the tenth inning. The Orioles have come back with a run of their own thanks to a Toronto area in the bottom of the tenth inning to stay alive.

2400
03:26:17,000 --> 03:26:27,000
Martinez and his first offering to Vaughn is outside low and a ball. One ball no strike.

2401
03:26:27,000 --> 03:26:47,000
As I mentioned earlier tonight the Blue Jays have been a lot better than the Orioles. An extra inning ball game. Strike is called to Vaughn. The Orioles an extra inning. They've won four and lost six. Toronto an extra inning. They've won nine and lost six. The one one pitch.

2402
03:26:47,000 --> 03:27:00,000
A ball and two strikes now to Steve.

2403
03:27:00,000 --> 03:27:04,000
Now the one two offering.

2404
03:27:04,000 --> 03:27:20,000
Two balls two strikes.

2405
03:27:20,000 --> 03:27:31,000
And the count will fill three and two. With two out nobody on in the top of the twelfth of the sixth sixth tie.

2406
03:27:31,000 --> 03:27:41,000
Renike the Oriole left fielder. A bit toward the gap and left center field is bumpery against Steve Vaughn. Down comes the three two. Ground ball hit right at the second base from Ticano. He has.

2407
03:27:41,000 --> 03:27:50,000
The end of the 11 and a half. Toronto six Baltimore six.

2408
03:27:50,000 --> 03:28:15,000
A play by Vitter and Ben Ogilvie drove in two runs with a double and a single. We give the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/milwaukee-brewers/1980/overview/>Milwaukee Brewers</a> a four nothing victory over Seattle. McClure making his fourth start after two hundred twelve relief appearances allowed just four singles in one walk to improve his record to three and one as a starter. He's four and seven overall. Ogilvie doubled home Milwaukee's final run in a three run third inning and single in the Brewers final run of the game in the fifth.

2409
03:28:15,000 --> 03:28:20,000
with their first two runs and the third on run scoring singles by Robin Yauts and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gorman-thomas/>Gorman Thomas</a>.

2410
03:28:22,000 --> 03:28:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-brown-1984/>Bobby Brown</a> hit his 12th home run of the season, deleted off the 7th inning, snapping a 1-1 tie,

2411
03:28:27,000 --> 03:28:30,000
and giving the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1980/overview/>New York Yankees</a> a 2-1 victory over Boston.

2412
03:28:30,000 --> 03:28:36,000
Brown's homer came off Steve Ranko and made a winner of Louis Teon for the first time since June 20th.

2413
03:28:36,000 --> 03:28:41,000
Teon went 7 innings and gave up 5 hits. He walked one and struck out 4.

2414
03:28:41,000 --> 03:28:49,000
Rich Gossage fits the last two innings to earn his 20-nock save and stretches string of scoreless relief appearances to 17 games.

2415
03:28:55,000 --> 03:28:57,000
Let's update you on the national...

2416
03:28:58,000 --> 03:29:00,000
Chuck just came up with a great mind.

2417
03:29:00,000 --> 03:29:06,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1980/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a> in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a> over Philadelphia 4-3, Pittsburgh over New York 4-3,

2418
03:29:06,000 --> 03:29:11,000
Montreal and St. Louis at the bottom of the eighth inning assault tie with a 7-repeat.

2419
03:29:11,000 --> 03:29:15,000
And by the end of San Diego, at the end of three, San Diego leads it 2-1.

2420
03:29:15,000 --> 03:29:19,000
This is actually the Los Angeles 1-0 in the first inning.

2421
03:29:19,000 --> 03:29:22,000
Houston is there to score in their first inning against San Francisco.

2422
03:29:22,000 --> 03:29:24,000
Benny will lead it off. We'll go back to Chuck.

2423
03:29:25,000 --> 03:29:29,000
It'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/benny-ayala/>Benny Ayala</a> here in this last half of the 12th inning.

2424
03:29:29,000 --> 03:29:36,000
Ayala tonight has fanned, lined to second and popped to short and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> went in the ballgame of the ninth inning.

2425
03:29:36,000 --> 03:29:41,000
Just in to furb, has a tough bin for an error, charged the shortstop grippin.

2426
03:29:41,000 --> 03:29:46,000
That thing would have been over. Now here's a fall too high to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/benny-ayala/>Benny Ayala</a>.

2427
03:29:46,000 --> 03:29:51,000
He'll wait for the fastball for the both part where Willis throw it out of the strike zone.

2428
03:29:51,000 --> 03:29:54,000
His threat butterfist is the screwball.

2429
03:29:54,000 --> 03:30:02,000
He went down to learn that screwball and down to the minor leagues and he apparently has a very, very good screw.

2430
03:30:02,000 --> 03:30:08,000
Now the 1-0 pitch. Here's the strike of Benny to Ayala. One ball, one strike.

2431
03:30:09,000 --> 03:30:16,000
Like a hard breaking ball from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>. Now the 1-1 pitch for the waiting Ayala.

2432
03:30:16,000 --> 03:30:19,000
Here's the screw. He hit in the dirt off the third base side.

2433
03:30:19,000 --> 03:30:23,000
The foul ball. Strike two. One ball, two strikes.

2434
03:30:32,000 --> 03:30:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a> is due right behind Ayala and then behind Dempsey is the big play.

2435
03:30:39,000 --> 03:30:43,000
The 1-2 pitch outside for a ball. Two and two.

2436
03:30:43,000 --> 03:30:48,000
Last half of the 12th inning, Oriole Stadium in Baltimore.

2437
03:30:50,000 --> 03:30:56,000
Willis works to Ayala. Ground ball sharply hit his foul outside the bag at third.

2438
03:31:06,000 --> 03:31:10,000
Willis is allowed only two Orioles, three Orioles.

2439
03:31:10,000 --> 03:31:16,000
One by Dempsey, another by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> and one by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>.

2440
03:31:20,000 --> 03:31:23,000
Game into the ball game with Renike. First and second nobody out in the ninth inning.

2441
03:31:23,000 --> 03:31:25,000
They've got <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-murray/>Eddie Murray</a>. They hit into a double play.

2442
03:31:25,000 --> 03:31:30,000
And Renike in a fly ball to center. Here's the swing and a foul out of play behind the play.

2443
03:31:33,000 --> 03:31:37,000
With one out of the tenth inning and Toronto leading six to five.

2444
03:31:37,000 --> 03:31:39,000
Dempsey single to left field.

2445
03:31:39,000 --> 03:31:44,000
Desense hit what looks like it was going to be a double playground ball to the left side of the shortstop.

2446
03:31:44,000 --> 03:31:49,000
Griffin got there. It count off the glove and off the shoulder and rolled out to the right center field.

2447
03:31:49,000 --> 03:31:53,000
Dempsey raced to third. And Desense raced <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lee-may/>Lee May</a> with the pinch hitter.

2448
03:31:53,000 --> 03:31:55,000
And he hit a ground double over the bag at third.

2449
03:31:55,000 --> 03:32:00,000
Here's a high fly ball fairly deep in left field. Back to left fielder.

2450
03:32:00,000 --> 03:32:04,000
Near the warning track and Hodgson is there to make the catch.

2451
03:32:04,000 --> 03:32:07,000
And he retires. Denny Iowd.

2452
03:32:09,000 --> 03:32:11,000
Great sight that is in the ball park.

2453
03:32:11,000 --> 03:32:13,000
That's the ball left the bat.

2454
03:32:13,000 --> 03:32:19,000
You can just see the crowd getting up on their feet and trying to push and help the ball out of the ball park.

2455
03:32:21,000 --> 03:32:24,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a> one victory without a loss.

2456
03:32:24,000 --> 03:32:27,000
That's returning to the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/toronto-blue-jays/1980/overview/>Toronto Blue Jays</a>.

2457
03:32:27,000 --> 03:32:29,000
And now here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-dempsey/>Rick Dempsey</a>.

2458
03:32:29,000 --> 03:32:31,000
He's pitched 19 in the third inning.

2459
03:32:31,000 --> 03:32:33,000
So that's giving up one home run.

2460
03:32:33,000 --> 03:32:36,000
Here's a ball one down low to Rick.

2461
03:32:36,000 --> 03:32:39,000
He kind of squared on the pitch and gave an indication of a button.

2462
03:32:39,000 --> 03:32:41,000
Took it all away.

2463
03:32:48,000 --> 03:32:50,000
And a one nothing pitch.

2464
03:32:50,000 --> 03:32:52,000
It's a strike over the outside corner of the letters.

2465
03:32:52,000 --> 03:32:54,000
One ball, one strike to Dempsey.

2466
03:32:54,000 --> 03:32:55,000
One out, nobody on.

2467
03:32:55,000 --> 03:33:03,000
Bottom of the 12th tied 6-6.

2468
03:33:06,000 --> 03:33:08,000
So what a pitch to Dempsey.

2469
03:33:08,000 --> 03:33:12,000
It's a little over by two balls to the strike.

2470
03:33:12,000 --> 03:33:16,000
Two one's pitch on the way to Dempsey.

2471
03:33:16,000 --> 03:33:18,000
A nine foul.

2472
03:33:18,000 --> 03:33:20,000
That's a good sign.

2473
03:33:20,000 --> 03:33:22,000
It's out of play.

2474
03:33:22,000 --> 03:33:26,000
These stones will be gunning for victory number 24 tomorrow night in this ball yard.

2475
03:33:26,000 --> 03:33:28,000
730 is game time.

2476
03:33:28,000 --> 03:33:35,000
We hope a lot of you who were unable to be here tonight to see this win between the Orioles and the Blue Jays might be able to make it tomorrow night.

2477
03:33:35,000 --> 03:33:38,000
If not, we'll see you tomorrow night.

2478
03:33:38,000 --> 03:33:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-flanagan/>Mike Flanagan</a> would love to see you here on Sunday afternoon, which is going to be man appreciation day.

2479
03:33:44,000 --> 03:33:51,000
There's going to be a lot of really great gifts given away in a drawing right after the ballgame on Sunday.

2480
03:33:51,000 --> 03:33:56,000
Now the 22-50.

2481
03:33:56,000 --> 03:33:59,000
A point and a foul.

2482
03:33:59,000 --> 03:34:12,000
Pretty soon we ought to be getting a little information about those West Coast games in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1980/overview/>National League</a>.

2483
03:34:12,000 --> 03:34:19,000
Houston is San Francisco and Cincinnati is in Los Angeles.

2484
03:34:19,000 --> 03:34:23,000
They've got a very important ballgame tonight in that other league.

2485
03:34:23,000 --> 03:34:25,000
Now the 22-50.

2486
03:34:25,000 --> 03:34:29,000
Rocks over the rubber.

2487
03:34:29,000 --> 03:34:31,000
The lefty sits.

2488
03:34:31,000 --> 03:34:32,000
It's high and away.

2489
03:34:32,000 --> 03:34:33,000
Ball free.

2490
03:34:33,000 --> 03:34:38,000
Well, the Reds have taken a 1-0 lead over the Dodgers after the first inning of play.

2491
03:34:38,000 --> 03:34:43,000
And Houston did not score at the top of the first inning.

2492
03:34:43,000 --> 03:34:49,000
Montreal and the Cardinals, 7-7 tie going to the ninth inning.

2493
03:34:49,000 --> 03:34:50,000
Thank you, Tom.

2494
03:34:50,000 --> 03:35:05,000
3-2 pitch to Nesbitt, a high foul ball down from the field side and out of play.

2495
03:35:05,000 --> 03:35:09,000
The Orioles have out hit the Blue Jays tonight, 14-10.

2496
03:35:09,000 --> 03:35:12,000
And a 6-6 tie on the scoreboard.

2497
03:35:12,000 --> 03:35:17,000
There have been three home runs to the ballgame, two solo home runs.

2498
03:35:17,000 --> 03:35:22,000
The first home run is by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-hodgson/>Paul Hodgson</a> of the Jays, another by Steve Long.

2499
03:35:22,000 --> 03:35:27,000
The 3-2 to Dempsey, a ground ball base hit in the hole and on through to left field.

2500
03:35:27,000 --> 03:35:32,000
Now Dempsey had a base hit to left field the last time he looked at the lefty, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-willis/>Mike Willis</a>.

2501
03:35:32,000 --> 03:35:35,000
Matter of fact, almost the very same spot.

2502
03:35:35,000 --> 03:35:39,000
And now the batter will be Doug DeSensei.

2503
03:35:39,000 --> 03:35:43,000
In the tenth inning with Dempsey at first and one out.

2504
03:35:43,000 --> 03:35:46,000
DeSensei hit a ground ball a bit to the left side of Griffin.

2505
03:35:46,000 --> 03:35:49,000
It could be a double play, but Griffin did not come up with it.

2506
03:35:49,000 --> 03:35:52,000
It tared off his shoulder out of the right center.

2507
03:35:52,000 --> 03:36:02,000
And that was all the opportunity the Orioles needed to get off the deck and tie the game.

2508
03:36:02,000 --> 03:36:07,000
A crowd of 12,706 this evening in Baltimore, and most of them are still here.

2509
03:36:07,000 --> 03:36:13,000
Here's a ball high and outside to Doug DeSensei.

2510
03:36:13,000 --> 03:36:17,000
Doug has one hit tonight and five trips.

2511
03:36:17,000 --> 03:36:18,000
Willis works again.

2512
03:36:18,000 --> 03:36:20,000
Here's a long drive, but it's hooking.

2513
03:36:20,000 --> 03:36:25,000
It may be a foul ball, and it is down on the upper deck of the left field corner.

2514
03:36:25,000 --> 03:36:28,000
Boy, DeSensei really jumped on her.

2515
03:36:28,000 --> 03:36:31,000
He got his pitch and he just overpowered it.

2516
03:36:31,000 --> 03:36:34,000
Pulled his foul down the left field side into the upper deck.

2517
03:36:34,000 --> 03:36:38,000
And Doug is walking around, talking to himself a little bit right now.

2518
03:36:38,000 --> 03:36:47,000
That apparently was the kind of a pitch that DeSensei was hoping for, and he just was out in front of it too much.

2519
03:36:47,000 --> 03:36:53,000
They've got 6'6 <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-barlow/>Mike Barlow</a> throwing out of the Toronto bullpen right now,

2520
03:36:53,000 --> 03:36:56,000
but Willis has been all the Orioles can handle, believe me.

2521
03:36:56,000 --> 03:36:59,000
Now the set by Mike on the 1-1 to DeSensei.

2522
03:36:59,000 --> 03:37:03,000
Fly ball well hit down in the right field corner, chasing over the right fielder.

2523
03:37:03,000 --> 03:37:04,000
He can't get it.

2524
03:37:04,000 --> 03:37:08,000
Home run! Home run to DeSensei!

2525
03:37:08,000 --> 03:37:11,000
It's just gone into the first row of the seat.

2526
03:37:11,000 --> 03:37:15,000
And just like that, the ball game is over.

2527
03:37:15,000 --> 03:37:21,000
Dempsey scores the seventh run, and here comes DeSensei with run number eight.

2528
03:37:21,000 --> 03:37:25,000
He fouled one just a moment ago to left field,

2529
03:37:25,000 --> 03:37:31,000
and now hit a line drive into the corner in right that went into the front row of the seat.

2530
03:37:31,000 --> 03:37:39,000
For DeSensei, 13th home run, and a come from behind 8-6 win for the Orioles.

2531
03:37:39,000 --> 03:37:40,000
Well, that's it.

2532
03:37:40,000 --> 03:37:41,000
The Orioles win at 8-6.

2533
03:37:41,000 --> 03:38:05,000
We'll be back with a recap for you right after this message.
