Well, in as much as this will be our final game at Cole Stadium.
60
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
And in 1965, opening in the New Dome Stadium here in Houston.
61
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And I hope that you fans were tuned in just a few moments ago.
62
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And Lowell was reminiscing with Bob Aspromati about opening day out here.
63
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:52,000
On April the 10th, 1962, when the Cole 45s opened for the first time in the National League in the stadium.
64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And of course, the Cole 45s won that day by the score of 11-2 against the Cubs.
65
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
I thought you might be interested in the starting lineups on those days, so let me run them down for you.
66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Starting for the Cubs that day on April the 10th, 1962, Lou Brock was in center field.

And Don Cardwell did the pitching for the Cubs.
75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Houston starting lineup on April the 10th of 1962.
76
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Bob Aspromati third.
77
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Jim Pendleton left field.
81
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Joy Amalfitano at second base.
83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Don Budden at shortstop.
84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And Bobby Shantz was the starting pitcher, and he went all the way for the Cole 45s.
85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And Houston won the ball game 11-2.
86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Ernie Banks had a home run for the Cubs that day.
87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Mejias had two home runs, and Al Smith had one.
88
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000
the Cole 45s out hit the Cubs on that opening day by 13-5.
89
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
the Cubs, before the afternoon was over, used a total of five pitchers.
90
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Cardwell, as I mentioned, started.
91
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Dave Gerrard was on.
92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Barney Schultz did some pitching for the Cubs.
93
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Jack Warner and also Al Leary.
94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000
So that's a brief recap on a cloudy day in 1962, opening day April the 10th.
95
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And this is the wrap-up out here today.
96
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
We might mention also the umpires on that day.
97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
the umpire in chief of the plate umpire that day was Dusty Pagas.
98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Stan Landis was at first, Vinnie Smith at second, and Mel Steiner the umpire at third.
99
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And this will wrap it up out here today.
100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
the final game in Cole Stadium, and there go the Cole 45s out in the third.
101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Pitching this finale here at Cole Stadium today will be Bob Bruce.
102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Bob taking his walk out to the mound now.
103
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
He will be out after his 15th win of the year.
104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:30,000
If Bob can chalk up number 15 today, he will become the winningest pitcher in Cole 45 history for a single season.
105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,000
As he holds the record of 14 now, along with Dick Farrell who won 14 last year.
106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Now the Westbury High School Band from Houston, our national anthem.
107
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:32,000
the Westbury High School Band from Houston, our national anthem.
108
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:47,000
We have a cloudy day out here at Cole Stadium.
109
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
We have had a few sprinkles of rain, but that's all.
110
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
We have quite a strong wind that's blowing out to right field today, which is unusual.
111
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
And it's about 10 miles an hour, 82 degrees the temperature.
112
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And the humidity stands at 70 percent.
113
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
And here's the lead batter now for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
114
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Right-handed batter Dick Truszewski to face Bob Bruce.
115
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Here's the windup by Bob and the first pitch of the final game on the way.
116
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
And it's too high for ball one, slow curve ball, one ball, no strikes.
117
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Truszewski is hitting 250, has one homer in 24 runs batted in.
118
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Joe Becker coaching on first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
119
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000
And Pete Reesher down on third base, swinging a foul by Truszewski, a tap back to the screen off the right side.
120
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Al Spangler left field, Jimmy Winn in center and Rusty Staub in right.
121
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Bob Espramati at third base, Eddie Casco at short.
122
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Joe Morgan second base and Wal Bond on first and Jerry Grote is the catcher.
123
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Bob Bruce, 14 wins, 9 losses on the mound for the Cole 45s.
124
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Here's the windup now and the pitch to Truszewski and there's a line drive left field.
125
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Al Spangler can't get it, base hit, so Truszewski has opened the ball game with a line single in the left field.
126
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
That'll bring up Darrell Griffith now, the right fielder.
127
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Griffith is hitting 279 with four homers in 19 runs batted in.
128
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
On fire behind the plate today is Tony Vinson, Lee Wires at first,
129
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Jaco Conlon at second base and Doug Harvey is umpiring down on third.
130
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Starting to sprinkle a little bit now.
131
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Here's the stretch and a look over to first base, Bond holding up against Truszewski.
132
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
There he started to go on that when he took it high and outside.
133
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
They're watching for the punt on that one and both Bond and Espramati moved in on it.
134
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
But he takes it high and outside ball one.
135
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Darrell Griffith, the left-handed batter.
136
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
My betch in here, in case you missed the interview between Lowell and Bob Espramati before the game,
137
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000
is that only two players are in this ball game for Houston that opened in 1962.
138
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000
There's a pop punt foul back up and over the screen into the box seats and it's one ball, one strike.
139
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
On opening day of 1962, Bob Espramati was at third as he is out here today.
140
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
And Al Spangler was in center field and Al was playing left today.
141
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
One ball, one strike.
142
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Truszewski is single to left field.
143
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
And Willie Davis will be up next.
144
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Still watching for that punt. Now Espramati is a bit off third base.
145
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Here's the stretch by Bruce. A check on his runner at first base.
146
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
There's a foul, a big swing that time.
147
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Not funny on that one. He fouled it back up against the screen in his one and two.
148
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Oh, the Braves just got another one. Not that they need it.
149
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
But Joe Torre has hit a home run on the eighth inning with nobody on.
150
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
That's 14 to 4 now.
151
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
14 to 4 Milwaukee leading in the top of the eighth and the Braves are still batting.
152
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
That is five pitchers now that Malk is used today. Jack Bolshan into the eighth inning.
153
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Here's the one and two stretch by Bob Bruce. Swinging a miss and he struck him out.
154
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Adele Griffith goes down swinging and there's one out here in the first.
155
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
And that will bring up the center fielder, Willie Davis.
156
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
That's the 130th strikeout for Bruce this year. He leads the club in that department.
157
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
And now here's Willie Davis batting 295. He bats left.
158
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Twelve homers and 73 runs batted in.
159
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
One out and Truszewski, who's single the left field, is on first base.
160
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Here's the stretch by Bob and a check on his runner over there.
161
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Pitch on the way to Willie Davis and a big swing of that one and he missed it and a strike long. One strike.
162
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Bruce's first victory over Los Angeles this year was a score of 2 to 1.
163
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And his other victory also was a one runner when he shut out the Dodgers by a score of 1 to nothing.
164
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
So both of Bob's wins have been real tight ball games.
165
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
One strike to count on Willie Davis. Here's the stretch again by Bruce.
166
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
There's a high pop off the left side. Right in fair territory.
167
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Aspromotti down the line. Halfway to third. Two down.
168
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Willie Davis pops up to third base two away.
169
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Here's the left fielder, Tommy Davis. He had a real good night out here in the first night of the series on Friday night.
170
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Two outs Truszewski on first base.
171
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
This is by far the best year that Bruce has ever had in the major leagues.
172
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:20,000
His previous high win total was in 62. His first year with Houston, 21-10 and lost nine.
173
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Bruce has defeated every club in the National League this year at least once except St. Louis.
174
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Here's Tommy Davis hitting 275. He bats right at it.
175
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Truszewski on first. Started to go and then held up.
176
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Ground ball to the shortstop. Eddie Casco.
177
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Eddie goes on to second base to Morgan to retire the side.
178
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,000
That's it for the Dodgers in the top of the first as Truszewski is forced short to second base.
179
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
No runs and one hit. There were no errors. One man left on.
180
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Top of the first inning the Los Angeles Dodgers nothing.
181
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And the Colt 45s are coming to bat.
182
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Smoke the lucky strike.
183
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Fine tobacco at its best. the taste that they is like.
184
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Great taste was born the day they made this famous lucky blend.
185
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
And it's a fact each lucky stack with fine tobacco end to end.
186
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Smoke the lucky strike.
187
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Smoke the lucky strike.
188
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
What makes lucky strikes so popular with people who smoke for taste.
189
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
the answer is simple.
190
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Luckies bring you the great taste of fine tobacco at its best.
191
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,000
That's because luckies are blended with fine tobacco.
192
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Fine tobacco from one end of that cigarette to the other.
193
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
If you're a smoker and you smoke for taste remember.
194
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
L.S.M.F.T.
195
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Lucky strike means fine tobacco and that means great taste.
196
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
So taste fine tobacco at its best.
197
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Smoke a lucky strike. Why not buy a carton.
198
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Right-hander Don Drysdale up for the Dodgers here this afternoon.
199
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,000
He'll be looking at Al Spangler, Joe Morgan and Rusty Staub in the bottom half of the first.
200
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Drysdale has 18 victories this year against 15 defeats.
201
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Here's Spangler batting left-handed. He's hitting 248.
202
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Alice hit four homers and has driven in 36 runs so far.
203
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Still getting a light sprinkle out here as we start the bottom of the first.
204
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Drysdale, a big fella, he stands 6'6", weighs 210 pounds.
205
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Don is 28 years old.
206
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Here's the windup now and the first pitch on the way to Spangler.
207
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
There's a strike on the outside corner of the bell to strike one.
208
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Joe Morgan will be up next.
209
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
One hit in the ball game, top of the first inning by the shortstop Dick Drozewski.
210
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Here's the pitch on the way again now and Al takes it low and outside and it's one ball and one strike, one on one count.
211
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Drysdale has defeated Houston twice this year and has lost once.
212
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
And his lifetime record against the Colt 45s is five wins, four losses.
213
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
One ball, one strike on Spangler. Joe Morgan will be up next.
214
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Here's the pitch, ground ball to third.
215
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Bart Shirley has it, quick throw to first, low and Fairley dug it out.
216
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
And Spangler is out at first base, third to first.
217
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
That will bring up Joe Morgan now with one down.
218
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Let's take a look at the defensive alignment here for the Dodgers today.
219
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Tommy Davis is in left, Willie Davis in center and Darryl Griffith is in right field.
220
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Bart Shirley at third, Dick Drozewski at shortstop, Nate Oliver second base, and Ron Fairley on first with John Orozaburro the catcher.
221
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Jim Busby coaching at third for Houston.
222
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
And Sam Adair is coaching at first.
223
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Here's the windup and the pitch on the way now by Drysdale.
224
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
There's the ball, it's in too high to Morgan, ball on.
225
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Joe is hitting O, 56, a little left handed better.
226
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
One ball, no strikes.
227
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Here's the windup now, the next pitch into Morgan and he takes it just a little bit too high.
228
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
If a ball two, it's two and nothing.
229
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Drysdale holds one shutout over Houston this year, winning by a score of six to nothing.
230
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
And his other victory over the cold 45s was by a score of five to two.
231
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Here's the 2-0 windup into Morgan and Joe laces one to the second baseman, a one hopper to Nate Oliver and on to Fairley two down.
232
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,000
So the first two Houston batters have bounced out, Spangler and Morgan, and now here's Rusty Staub.
233
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000
the one game that Bruce has lost, or rather that Drysdale has lost to Houston this year,
234
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:44,000
was the night that Bruce shut out Los Angeles one to nothing and Drysdale was the losing pitcher that night.
235
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Here's Rusty hitting 202 with six homers and 32 runs batted in.
236
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000
And the windup now and the first pitch to Rusty, but Rusty pops it up in the infield.
237
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,000
That's a real high one off the first base side and Ron Fairley calling for it now on the edge of the infield grass and that retires the side.
238
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Three up and three down for Houston first inning. No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on.
239
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000
And at the end of one inning of play here at Coast Edium this afternoon, Los Angeles nothing and Houston nothing.
240
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Say all you cigarette smokers, have you ever tasted fine tobacco at its best?
241
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Well you have if you've ever smoked a Lucky Strike.
242
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000
You see every Lucky is blended with fine tobacco from one end of that cigarette to the other.
243
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,000
You know what LSMFT stands for. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
244
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Well that means great taste, so why not do this?
245
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Just look for the pack with the big red bullseye.
246
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
247
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Smoke a Lucky Strike.
248
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:57,000
the taste that millions like. Great taste was born the day they made this famous Lucky's blend.
249
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
And it's a fact, each Lucky's packed with fine tobacco end to end.
250
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Smoke a Lucky Strike.
251
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
252
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Now we're moving on to the first half of the second inning now and the lead batter will be John Roseborough for the Dodgers.
253
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Ron Fairley and Nate Oliver will follow. No score.
254
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Roseborough is a left handed batter. He's hitting 284.
255
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Three homers and 42 runs batted in.
256
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
One hit off Bruce, a lead single by Truszewski in the first inning.
257
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Roseborough goes for that slow pitch and pops it up into the seats off the left side.
258
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Strike one. That one almost went through an umbrella.
259
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000
One strike. Ron Fairley will bat next. Top of the second.
260
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Outfield is, well, Wynn is straight away in center.
261
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Staub is pulling Roseborough in right though. Curveball low inside and it's one ball and one strike. One-one count.
262
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Bruce has pitched 190 innings, allowed 186 hits. Bob's ERA is 2.89 as he starts today, making his 29th start of the year.
263
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Here's the pitch. Roseborough hits a long foul to right field.
264
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Ooh, he got a hold of that one.
265
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Way off the end of the stands down the right field line. Foul ball one and two.
266
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Bruce in his 28 previous starts has gone the distance eight times and his eight complete games is high on our staff.
267
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Here's the one and two windup now and the pitch on the way to Roseborough.
268
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
There's a ball outside. Ball two, strike two.
269
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
One of the reasons for Bob's good year we have mentioned before is the fact that his control has been excellent.
270
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
He has given up only 31 walks in 191 innings this year.
271
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Here's the 2-2 pitch to Roseborough. Now there's a fly ball right field.
272
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Steve and Staub is over four down the run. He's going to get it.
273
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Makes the catch out and deep right center field, one down.
274
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
So Roseborough drives one to deep right center taken by Rusty Staub.
275
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
And here's Ron Fairley, the first baseman. Fairley is hitting 257.
276
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Left handed batter also with 10 homers and 72 runs batted in.
277
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
One out, nobody on base.
278
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Nothing for Los Angeles, nothing for Houston.
279
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Here's the windup by Bruce and the pitch on the way now.
280
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
And Fairley takes a strike around the knees.
281
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Now let's check these scores now. I want to keep you posted all afternoon on them.
282
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Because as most of you know, they're very important.
283
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Braves are still way out in front of Philadelphia in their ball game today, low inside.
284
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
One ball, one strike.
285
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Milwaukee 14, Philadelphia 4 now with the Phillies batting in the bottom half of the eighth.
286
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Tony Kloninger was the starting pitcher for the Braves. He was taken out in the eighth inning.
287
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Has just been removed incidentally, ball inside.
288
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
And Jim Bunning started for Philadelphia but was knocked out in the fourth.
289
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Joe Torrey is homered for the Braves in the eighth with nobody on.
290
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
John Callison has homered twice.
291
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
And he has just picked up the fifth run for Philadelphia with an eighth inning homer on.
292
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Swing and a foul ball. Ball two, strike two on Fairley.
293
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:14,000
So that is now Milwaukee 14 and Philadelphia 5 with the Phillies still batting in the bottom of the eighth.
294
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Ball two and strike two on Fairley. One out, nobody on base.
295
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Nate Oliver will bat next for the Dodgers here now on the top of the second inning.
296
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Bruce goes into his windup and the pitch on the way to Fairley.
297
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
He just about got him on that one. He checked just in time.
298
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000
High inside pitch but he almost went for it. Three balls, two strikes.
299
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Cincinnati beat New York for their eighth win in a row in the first game of their doubleheader, 4-1.
300
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Jim O'Toole won his 17th game and Tracy Stallard was the loser.
301
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
He's the first major league pitcher to lose 20 this year.
302
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Foul ball up in the seats off the left side by Fairley.
303
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
And the count holds at 3-2. No home runs in that first game at New York.
304
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
So the Reds now have won eight games in a row. They have won 11 of their last 12 games.
305
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
the second game is just getting started.
306
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Joey J will go for the Reds. Galen Sisco for New York.
307
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
At this moment the Reds and the Phillies are tied for first place.
308
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Here's the 3-2 pitch now. Swing and a miss and he struck him out.
309
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
So Fairley goes out on strikes, two away, and that will bring up the second baseman, Nate Oliver.
310
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000
That's the second strikeout for Bruce today. He got Griffith in the first.
311
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000
First portion of this afternoon's broadcast is being sent your way by the American Tobacco Company,
312
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
makers of Lucky Strike Cigarettes.
313
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Here's Oliver. He bats right, two outs, nobody on, hitting 249.
314
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
20 runs batted in for this little right-handed batter.
315
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Bruce's first pitch to him is outside of the letters, ball one.
316
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
St. Louis, three, and Pittsburgh nothing at the end of five.
317
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Roger Craig against Vernon Law in that one.
318
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,000
And the Cubs defeated San Francisco, 4-1 in the first game of their doubleheader today.
319
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
There was a pretty good pitching attraction there.
320
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Here's the 1-0 pitch to Oliver now. There's a high foul, no play on that one.
321
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Back up into the seats, one ball, one strike.
322
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Larry Jackson defeated Juan Marichal in that first game.
323
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Cubs won it 4-1. Jackson won his 23rd game of the year.
324
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Marichal is a 20-game winner. He's 20-8 now, and Jackson is 23-10.
325
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
It was nothing and nothing until the Cubs scored all four runs in the eighth inning.
326
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And the Giants came back with one in the top half of the ninth inning.
327
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch to Oliver.
328
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
One strike on the outside corner of the knees in this one and two.
329
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Yankees did not score in the 11th inning.
330
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000
And New York and Washington are still tied 2-2 with the Senators batting in the bottom half of the 11th.
331
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Y.D. Ford started for New York, removed in the eighth.
332
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
And Benny Daniels started for Washington, taken out in the 11th inning.
333
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Mickey Mantle homered in the seventh with nobody on for New York.
334
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
And Don Zimmer hit one for Washington in the eighth with nobody on.
335
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Here's the 1-2 pitch to Oliver now.
336
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Ground ball in the hole. Casco backhands it, can't get it.
337
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
That'll probably be a base hit.
338
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Ball got away from Casco, going back into the hole.
339
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Got a glove on it. It hit the heel of his glove and bounced up his arm.
340
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
And Oliver is safe at first.
341
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000
So with two outs, I doubt that Casco could have made the play on Oliver had he picked it up.
342
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Let's see what the official score says.
343
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
So there are two outs now, and here's Bart Shirley.
344
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
They're going to give him an error on it.
345
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Bart is officially charged as an error on Casco.
346
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:29,000
That's only about the 15th error on Casco this year.
347
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
So it's a boot on the Houston shortstop, Eddie Casco.
348
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
And now here's Bart Shirley. There's a lob over the first base.
349
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Shirley is hitting 306.
350
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000
That's right-handed, five runs batted in.
351
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
No score, top of the second.
352
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
I think the Dodgers have their second base runner on now.
353
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
And it takes in breaks on the first pitch.
354
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
There's a ground ball right back up the middle, and Morgan forced him on it.
355
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Well, he put that one in a good spot.
356
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Joe was standing on the bag when he caught that ground ball on the hit-and-run.
357
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So Shirley is safe at first, and Oliver is forced out unassisted by the second baseman, Joe Morgan.
358
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
And that retires the side. No runs, no hits, one error.
359
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
One man was left on base. Bottom of the second coming up now.
360
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Dodgers nothing. Colt 45 is nothing.
361
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Here's a final on that Washington game. the Senators won it.
362
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Washington has defeated New York 3-2 in 11 innings, and that snaps the Yankees' 11-game winning streak.
363
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Hal Renup was the loser, Ronnie Klein the winner for Washington.
364
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Home runs by Mickey Mantle and Don Zimmer.
365
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000
the Baltimore Orioles defeated Cleveland this afternoon, 4-0, a three-hit shutout by Robin Roberts for his 12th win of the year,
366
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
and Sonny Siebert lost it for Cleveland.
367
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
And Norm Siebern had a home run for the Orioles in the fourth with one on.
368
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Chicago has scored a run in the top of the first at Kansas City. That game has just started.
369
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Joel Horland against Blue Moon Odom in that one.
370
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
And at the end of 6-1-1 for the Tigers batting in the bottom of the seventh, Tigers 3-0,
371
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Bill Monbouquet for the Red Sox, Joe Sparma for Detroit,
372
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
and Bill Bruton had a home run for Detroit in the fifth with nobody on.
373
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And Minnesota-Los Angeles did not get started.
374
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
So New York's lead has been trimmed now to three games in the American League race,
375
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
as Baltimore has won 4-0, and the Yankees have lost 3-2, and the White Sox are just playing now.
376
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Just started. San Francisco, Chicago, no score at the end of three.
377
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
the Phillies picked up two runs in the eighth inning.
378
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,000
It's now 14-6, Milwaukee going into the ninth inning.
379
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
And no score yet on Cincinnati-New York's second game.
380
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,000
And at the end of six innings, the Cardinals lead Pittsburgh 3-0.
381
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:57,000
There's Wal Bond now, leading off in the bottom half of the second.
382
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
There's Wal Bond. He's hitting.256. 20 home runs and 83 runs batted in.
383
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Here's the windup by Drysdale on the pitch now.
384
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000
There's a high pop foul off the left side. No chance, though, for Shirley to get it.
385
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Going back up into the first or second row back of the Houston dugout.
386
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
We just had a scoring change on the ground ball hit by Nate Oliver.
387
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Changed that error to Casco to a base hit for Nate Oliver.
388
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:31,000
So that's the second hit off Bruce. He raised the error on Casco and credit Oliver with an infield single.
389
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:37,000
One strike now. Here's the pitch by Drysdale, and it's low and outside. One ball, one strike.
390
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
No score, bottom half of the second inning.
391
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Bond will be followed by Bob Aspromonte and Jimmy Wynn.
392
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch now. There's a high pop-up left side.
393
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Shortstop Dick Truszewski just off the left side a second on the infield grass, and there's one down.
394
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:03,000
So Bond has opened the second by popping to short. And here's Aspro now with one out.
395
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Meant two hits in the ball game so far, and the Dodgers have both of them.
396
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Well, the sprinkles have stopped now. Little blue sky overhead.
397
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Here's Aspro. He's hitting 283, 12 homers, and 66 runs batted in.
398
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:31,000
First pitch to him is inside up around the letters for ball one. One ball, no strikes.
399
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Drysdale in 305 innings this year has struck out 227 batters and has issued 62 bases on balls.
400
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Drysdale has pitched 21 complete games this year. This is his 39th start.
401
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Ground ball back in the hole. Truszewski there though. There's the throw to first and they got him.
402
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000
So Aspromonte got it down to the hole over to Truszewski's right, but he fielded the ball easily and came up with it.
403
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Aspro has bounced out short to first. Here's Jimmy Nguyen now. Nguyen is hitting 215, four homers and 14 runs batted in.
404
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Two outs, nobody on base. Last half of the second inning.
405
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
28-year-old right-hander from Van Nuys, California doing the pitching for the Dodgers today, Don Drysdale.
406
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Nguyen got a hold of one deep left field, but Tommy Davis is back quickly to hold in to retire the side.
407
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000
He hit the hit ball, but Davis went back and dragged it down. Three up and three down.
408
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000
But Drysdale retires the first six men to face him out here today. No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on.
409
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:44,000
And our ball game now goes to the first half of the third with the score Los Angeles nothing and Houston nothing.
410
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best, smoke a lucky strike. Fine tobacco at its best, the taste that's made it right.
411
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:05,000
the way taste was born the day they made this famous lucky blend. And it's a fact, each lucky stack with fine tobacco end to end.
412
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best, smoke a lucky strike. Smoke a lucky strike.
413
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Lucky Strike
414
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Lucky Strike, LSMFT. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And that means great taste.
415
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,000
First half of the third inning we've had a little bit of a wind shift out here now, not too much.
416
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
It seems to occasionally blow in from center field toward the plate.
417
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
We mentioned earlier that the wind today is blowing from the left field corner to the right side,
418
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,000
which is just the opposite of the normal prevailing winds out here.
419
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Here's the first pitch to Drysdale, bounces to third, Asparrow up with it on the grass, throw to first and there's one down.
420
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:18,000
So Drysdale, a 179 hitter with one homer, eight runs batted in, bounces out third to first.
421
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
That'll bring up the top of the batting order, Dick Truszewski. One out, nobody on base.
422
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Score nothing, nothing third inning.
423
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Aspromonte has had only 11 errors this year at third base.
424
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:46,000
the National League record for the fewest number of errors in a season by a third baseman is held jointly by Aspromonte and Stan Hack of the Chicago Cubs.
425
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Truszewski takes a strike up around the letters and that is 13.
426
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:57,000
the record was originally set by Hack of the Cubs in 1937 and tied in 62 by Aspromonte.
427
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
And up to this point Asparrow has committed only 11 errors.
428
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Here's the pitch now high and it's one ball, one strike. Fast ball.
429
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:09,000
One out, nobody on. Darrell Griffith will be up next.
430
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Bob Bruce and Don Drysdale.
431
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Bruce has a sign again now from Jerry Grote and here's the one-on-one pitch and Truszewski takes just a little bit high again for ball two and it's two and one.
432
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Ball two, strike one.
433
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Outfield shaded just a bit off the right side for Truszewski.
434
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Here's the pitch now, curve ball and that's popped up off the left side of the plate back by the screen.
435
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Now Grote back but he can't get it.
436
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Hits up on top of the wire almost directly behind the plate and it's ball two, strike two.
437
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Here at Coast Stadium this year in the first eight games between Houston and Los Angeles, the Dodgers have taken sixth.
438
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:59,000
And the Dodgers have already clinched the season series winning nine against Houston's five.
439
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
We still have three more games to play next weekend at Dodger Stadium.
440
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Ball two, strike two.
441
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000
One out, Drysdale has bounced to third and Truszewski singled his first time.
442
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,000
A 2-2 pitch on the way popped up back by the shortstop Eddie Casco over by second base and just behind the bag.
443
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
A little bit shaded over by the second base side two down.
444
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Truszewski pops the short.
445
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Here's Gerald Griffith now with two outs.
446
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Number 26, the right fielder, Gerald Griffith.
447
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Griffith, the left-handed batter, struck out his first time up.
448
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Two outs, nobody on, nothing and nothing.
449
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Here's the windup by Bruce now, the pitch on the way and there's a swing and a miss and a strike one.
450
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:53,000
the Gold 45s going into play today are four games ahead of their 1963 base.
451
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000
the 45s have won 64 games, lost 91 a year ago at this time.
452
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Houston had won 60 and lost 95.
453
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Four games on the plus side there.
454
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Here's the pitch to Griffith now on a swing and a miss, got him on a slip pitch or a change and it's strike two.
455
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:20,000
In the games behind column, 45s are 10 games closer to first place than they were a year ago at this time.
456
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Here's the two-strike pitch to Griffith now fastball and he punches a foul high and up into the seats off the third base side and the count holds at two strikes.
457
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Two-strike count now on Darryl Griffith as Drysdale is bounced out and Truszewski has popped a shortstop.
458
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Bob Wines again now, here's the pitch on the way and he struck him out, got him on a curveball lower inside.
459
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,000
That's the third strikeout for Bruce today.
460
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:55,000
So three up and three down here for the Dodgers in the third, no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on base.
461
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,000
And the score now, Houston nothing and Los Angeles nothing as we go into the bottom half of the third.
462
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
If you're a cigarette smoker, here's a question for you.
463
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Have you tried a Lucky lately?
464
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
If not, just remember this.
465
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,000
When you taste a Lucky, you taste fine tobacco at its best.
466
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:19,000
After all, LSMFT, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco and that means great taste.
467
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000
It means when you light up a Lucky, you get rich, full, enjoyable flavor.
468
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
So have yourself a reunion with a great cigarette.
469
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Get together with the Red Bulls Eye and taste fine tobacco at its best.
470
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
471
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best.
472
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
473
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Fine tobacco at its best.
474
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
the taste that millions like.
475
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Great taste was born today.
476
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
They made this famous Lucky Blend.
477
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,000
And it's a fact, each Lucky Smack with fine tobacco end to end.
478
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best.
479
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
480
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
481
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Last half of the third inning now.
482
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Phillies batting in the bottom of the ninth now.
483
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000
14 to 6, Braves leading and this is the Phillies' last chance.
484
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Eddie Casco will lead off for the Colt 45s.
485
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Jerry Grote and Bob Bruce will follow here in the bottom of the third.
486
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Casco is hitting 247 with 22 runs batted in.
487
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
16 doubles and one triple for Eddie so far this year.
488
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Here's Drysdale's windup in the first pitch to Casco and Eddie takes a strike above the knees, strike one.
489
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Drysdale has retired the first six men to face him.
490
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
No score, third inning.
491
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Jerry Grote in the on deck circle off the left side.
492
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Here's the pitch now.
493
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Eddie started to go and he took a strike.
494
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,000
That's right up around the belt and it's 0-2.
495
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,000
He strikes on Casco, lead batter third inning.
496
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:07,000
This is the ninth year that Drysdale has been in the Brooklyn Dodgers.
497
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Ball is over but low.
498
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:16,000
He started out with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 after spending a couple seasons in the minor leagues.
499
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
He's won 141 games and lost 105 in the nine seasons.
500
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
And he has 18 wins, 15 losses today.
501
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
And the one and two pitch now to Eddie Casco.
502
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Curve ball tapped foul up against the screen off the right side.
503
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:41,000
And the count holds at one ball and two strikes.
504
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
One and two count.
505
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Outfield is pretty well straight away here for Casco.
506
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Here's the windup by Drysdale on the next pitch to Casco.
507
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Fastball, ground ball in the hole, Trisuski back deep, throw to first base and they just got him on a close play at first.
508
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,000
That's the second time that Trisuski has had to go back in the hole to throw out a runner, Aspromotti, in the second inning.
509
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
And now he gets Casco to open the third.
510
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Here's Jerry Grote, the Houston catcher, hitting 183.
511
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Three homers and 24 runs batted in.
512
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,000
It's interesting to note that going into play today, the Phillies' magic number to clinch the pennant was seven.
513
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And in just a few moments it could be that Cincinnati will have that magic number.
514
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Here's the windup in the pitch now.
515
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000
There's a swing by Grote and a foul off the left side.
516
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:39,000
In case you've joined us late, the Phillies are losing their first game and Cincinnati has already won their first game.
517
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Their eighth consecutive win, incidentally.
518
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
And they're playing the second game now at New York, just getting underway.
519
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
One strike.
520
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Here's the pitch to Grote now and he starts to go and he checks it.
521
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
And it's one ball and one strike, one-one count.
522
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:01,000
the magic number in the American League is still four because the Yankees have lost their game and Baltimore has won.
523
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
One ball, one strike pitch.
524
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,000
There's a swing and a miss by Grote.
525
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Pitch up around the letters and it's one ball and two strikes.
526
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Last half for the third.
527
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Houston nothing, Los Angeles nothing.
528
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Grote hits one to right field.
529
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Darrell Griffith there though and he hauls it down.
530
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Well hit line drive into right.
531
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Griffith moving quickly to his right to make the catch.
532
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,000
So it's two down.
533
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
That will bring up the Houston pitcher, Bob Bruce.
534
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Forty-minus pitcher, number 30, Bob Bruce.
535
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Bob is hitting 186.
536
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
He has one run batted and one double.
537
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Left field does not pull him.
538
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Left fielder Tommy Davis way over in left center field.
539
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Here's Drysdale's first pitch to Bruce.
540
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Bob taps the first one.
541
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
the third baseman Bart Shirley cuts in front of Trudewski.
542
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Easy play at first base to retire the side.
543
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
So Drysdale gets nine batters in a row.
544
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
He retires the side in order for the first three innings.
545
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,000
And that's all for Houston here now in the bottom of the third.
546
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on base.
547
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000
And the score now at the end of three innings of play is Los Angeles nothing and Houston nothing.
548
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
There have been only two hits today and the Dodgers picked up both of them,
549
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:22,000
a single by Trudewski in the first and a single by Nate Oliver in the second inning.
550
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Oliver's was an infield hit.
551
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,000
And as I just mentioned, the 45s have been retired in order through the first three innings
552
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000
without a strikeout by Don Drysdale.
553
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
And of course we start the fourth inning out here this afternoon, our final day at Colt Stadium.
554
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
the score is Los Angeles nothing and Houston nothing and right here in the fourth inning,
555
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
let's hear from Lowell Pass.
556
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
All right, Gene, thank you very much.
557
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,000
And hi again, everybody.
558
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Two fine right-handers battling it out here in the final game for the Colts at home for this year,
559
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
the final game regularly scheduled at Colt Stadium ever.
560
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Bob Bruce for the 45s and Don Drysdale for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
561
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000
the peg has been made to second base, time for batter up.
562
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000
And the leadoff batter here on the top of the fourth inning is Willie Davis, a left-hand hitter.
563
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,000
He popped to Aspermati at third base in the first inning.
564
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Willie batting at 295.
565
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Very good all-around ball player, great speed.
566
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,000
He has 73 runs batted in on the season.
567
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Here's Bruce with the pitch now and the first one swung on and missed, strike one.
568
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Willie Davis will take a cut for ball.
569
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
It's a do or die sort of a swing.
570
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,000
He can be fooled quite frequently.
571
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
And the pitch, bouncing in there.
572
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
On back to the wire, ball one and strike one.
573
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,000
To show the speed of Willie, he's stolen 36 bases this year, behind Maury Wills, of course,
574
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,000
the total number of stolen bases and been thrown out 14 times.
575
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
He's struck out 55 times on the season.
576
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Outfield flagging to pull deep.
577
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000
the wind is blowing this way now, changing round just a little bit.
578
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Here's the pitch from Bob, high.
579
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
On upstairs for ball two and strike one.
580
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,000
If you dial in a little late, there is no score, two hits in the game, and the Dodgers have those.
581
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,000
And we have on the infield Aspermonte and Casco, the left side, to the right side Morgan and Bond.
582
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
And Bruce's pitch, swung on, and he shaves it on the top side, fouling it in against Grote,
583
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
who sort of keels over there.
584
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
And Jerry gets up now.
585
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Trainer Ull out quickly.
586
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Grote limping a little bit.
587
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:46,000
It could have been that it got him on the lag, the right lag up just above the knee.
588
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:53,000
That could have been at the top of the shoe now, where he's flexing the right foot just a little bit.
589
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Ball two and strike two.
590
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Tommy Davis will be the on-deck man, and John Roseburg to bat third here.
591
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Nothing and nothing.
592
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Grote down to the couch again.
593
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Got a real fine crowd here for a threatening afternoon in Houston.
594
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,000
And you good people in Louisiana, we've got a lot of your people over here.
595
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
We had a big ball for the big football game last night.
596
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Ball two, strike two.
597
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Bruce's pitch, swung on.
598
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
He reached for a high one and fouled it back to the left.
599
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,000
And Grote running it down, but it clears the wire.
600
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
And a ball two, strike two count.
601
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Bob Bruce, having pitched 190 and one third innings with 14 wins and nine defeats.
602
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
the earned run average is 289, 289.
603
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
And his mound opponent, 219 on the earned run average.
604
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Here's the pitch on the way.
605
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Swung on a high one hit down the right field line, cutting back over into the seats, though I believe both Morgan and Rusty letting up on the run.
606
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,000
It's into the boxes.
607
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Ball two and strike two.
608
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Well, Bulletin final score.
609
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Milwaukee defeated Philadelphia 14 to 8.
610
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
the Phillies got two more runs in the ninth inning.
611
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Eight runs normally enough to win most any ball game, of course.
612
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
And Callison had a two-run homer in the ninth inning.
613
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
No one can say he didn't do his share.
614
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:25,000
He had three home runs in the ball game and drove in four of their eight runs with homers.
615
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,000
A chain swung on it down to Bond and foul territory.
616
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Just inches over that line.
617
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Ball two and strike two.
618
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Kloninger, who started but was relieved by Olivo in the eighth, was the winning pitcher.
619
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Kloninger became an 18-game winner today, 14 losses.
620
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Bunning was the starting pitcher and he was belted.
621
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Lost his seventh.
622
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
He's won 18.
623
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:56,000
So the story, in case you didn't hear or couldn't find it, recorded anywhere today, why it's a tight race in the NASA League.
624
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000
There's a swing and a miss, and he bruised him one time.
625
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Davis goes down swinging, and it's the fourth strikeout recorded by Bob Bruce.
626
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,000
the left fielder, Tommy Davis.
627
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Tommy Davis, first man retiring the side of the first inning up again.
628
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Two-seventy-five hitter and has 14 homers.
629
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,000
One of them came in the first game of the series.
630
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000
On Friday night, he hit it way up into the seats in the left center.
631
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Here's the pitch from Bruce.
632
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Swung on and drive into center field.
633
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Back of it towards right center.
634
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Winn over and Rusty Stobb coming in, and it's going to be Rusty, I believe, in front of Jimmy Winn.
635
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,000
And Rusty lost his cap, but he hangs on to that baseball.
636
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Almost colliding out there.
637
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Jim Winn and Rusty Stobb, two men are out.
638
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
And John Roseborough.
639
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Well, the story, I guess, on center fielding is that you go get anything that you can get, roaming far and wide.
640
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:03,000
And Rusty figuring, well, I just want to let anybody slip up out there, take any chances.
641
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:10,000
No question about the improvement of Jimmy Winn and Rusty on the defensive out there.
642
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,000
John Roseborough flying into right field in the second inning, left-hand batter.
643
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Bruce's pitch is high for ball one.
644
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Roseborough hitting at 283 this time around, and he has 42 runs batted in.
645
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Tommy's hit three homers.
646
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
No score in the game.
647
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
You've just dialed us in, and we're in the first of the fourth inning, and Bruce brings on the pitch.
648
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Swung on, fouled up and back.
649
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
It's out of play.
650
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,000
So the count is ball one and strike one.
651
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Team batting average for the Dodgers is 250, 250.
652
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:52,000
And the opposing batsmen against their pitchers have hit 234.
653
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,000
There's a change up, fouled off into the crowd to the left side.
654
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:04,000
At that time, Roseborough got out a little early, committing himself, and then more or less following through.
655
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Ball one and strike two.
656
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,000
the Houston third run average.
657
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,000
He hit it way up into the seats in the left center.
658
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Here's the pitch, and Bruce swung on and drive into center field, back a bit towards right center.
659
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Winn over and Rusty Stobb coming in, and it's going to be Rusty, I believe, in front of Jimmy Winn.
660
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
And Rusty lost his cap, but he hangs on to that baseball.
661
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Almost colliding out there.
662
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Jim Winn and Rusty Stobb, two men are out.
663
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
And John Roseborough.
664
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Well, the story, I guess, on center fielding is that you go get anything that you can get, roaming far and wide.
665
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:51,000
And Rusty, figuring, well, I just want to let anybody slip up out there, take any chances.
666
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:58,000
No question about the improvement of Jimmy Winn and Rusty on the defensive out there.
667
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,000
John Roseborough flying into right field in the second inning, left hand batter.
668
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Bruce Pitch is high for ball one.
669
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Roseborough hitting at 283 this time around, and he has 42 runs batted in.
670
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
John has hit three homers.
671
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
No score in the game.
672
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,000
You just dial this in, and we're in the first of the fourth inning, and Bruce brings on the pitch.
673
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Swung on, fouled up and back.
674
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
It's out of play.
675
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000
So the count is ball one and strike one.
676
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Team batting average for the Dodgers is 250, 250.
677
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:40,000
And the opposing batsmen against their pitchers have hit 234.
678
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,000
There's a change up, fouled off into the crowd to the left side.
679
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:51,000
At that time, Roseborough got out a little early, committing himself and then more or less following through.
680
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Ball one and strike two.
681
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:02,000
the Houston run average, the pitching staff, 3.38.
682
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
the pitch, and it missed outside.
683
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,000
Ball two and strike two.
684
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Of course, Gene has noted, and you've heard us refer to this fact many times, that the great improvement by Bruce in the low number of bases on balls,
685
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:21,000
it's hard to believe he had walked just 31 batters in 190 and one-third innings.
686
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,000
There's a foul, flipped off back a third into the crowd.
687
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000
So it's ball two and strike two.
688
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Bruce is allowed eight home runs, and with that easy, tantalizing, soft little motion up there, they go for a lot of his stuff.
689
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:46,000
There's a foul as he swung on the breaking ball, hitting down around the knees.
690
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Ball two and strike two.
691
00:48:50,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Roseborough is 43 and 61 on bases on balls and strikeouts, 61 times he's struck out.
692
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:08,000
So Bruce has struck out 133 batters on the season.
693
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
And here's Bob Spich.
694
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Fastball swung on, back to the wire, foul ball, two-two.
695
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Two down and no one on base.
696
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,000
No score on the game and just two hits thus far.
697
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,000
Trzezinski's single as the lead batter in the left field in the first inning,
698
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,000
and then Oliver on a very close call got a base hit infield single to beat short.
699
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,000
That change swung on and fouled off to the left side.
700
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,000
That was in tight against Roseborough.
701
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Bruce changed him up, and it's ball two and strike two.
702
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
All right, again, look for the sign, he's ready.
703
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Around comes Yarm, the pitch, swung on, line out into left field,
704
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Spangler over there, out towards left center, not too deep, he's got it for the out.
705
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000
And that retires the Dodgers.
706
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
So no runs, no hits, and no one left on.
707
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,000
There were no errors, and the game moves to the last half of the fourth inning.
708
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
It's Houston nothing and the Los Angeles Dodgers nothing.
709
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Years ago when Lucky Strike set out to make their first cigarette,
710
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,000
they set their sights on this, taste, and taste is just what they got.
711
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Today it's still the Lucky Strike story in one word.
712
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,000
the reason? Fine tobacco.
713
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Fine tobacco blended from one end of a lucky to the other.
714
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
LSMFT.
715
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, and you know what that means,
716
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:42,000
great taste every time you light up, taste that's rich and full.
717
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:46,000
If you smoke for taste, taste fine tobacco at its best.
718
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
719
00:50:48,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Yes, lucky strike, another favorite.
720
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Yes, lucky strike, another fine product from the American Tobacco Company.
721
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Last half of inning number four.
722
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
We've got a new leader in the National League right now.
723
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Cincinnati has won its first game, and Philadelphia lost its game to Milwaukee.
724
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:46,000
So Cincinnati has vaulted into first place in an almost unbelievable rally,
725
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
and have won eight straight ball games.
726
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,000
That's a new mark in the National League for consecutive wins this year.
727
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Six was the former high.
728
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Here's Rysdale pitching to Spangler.
729
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Ball on the outside.
730
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Spangler bound at 5-3, third to first his first time up.
731
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Cincinnati has jumped out in front in the second game against the Mets,
732
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
scoring three runs in the top half of the first inning.
733
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
That's keeping you posted right up to the second.
734
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Three-nothing Cincinnati with the Mets now coming to bat in the last half of the first inning.
735
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,000
A new leader, Cincinnati, and the Cardinals are moving in.
736
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
All right, the pitch.
737
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Chain's long on, clipped out to the left side.
738
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Trzyski, that's short, little looper, is there and takes it for the up.
739
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Spangler, off balance on the swing, little change up on him, I guess.
740
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
And here's Joe Morgan.
741
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Grounded out second to first his first time up.
742
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Morgan has one hit since joining the 45s, but he's a better hitter than that, believe me.
743
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Cincinnati won its first game from the Mets 4-1, 0-2, making it 17-7 on the season.
744
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Stallard was the losing pitcher.
745
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:01,000
In rides the pitch, Morgan takes low, noting that Joe Morgan,
746
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:08,000
having been to bat 18 times to start this game and walked six times,
747
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,000
St. Louis is leading 3-0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pirates batting in the eighth inning.
748
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Drysdale-Wines delivers in tight against Morgan, he skips the back, ball two in those strikes.
749
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Well, the St. Louis Cardinals also with an opportunity for just a game and a half out today.
750
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000
In tight to Morgan, ball three in those strikes.
751
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:44,000
So St. Louis, if they can win, will be just the one-half game back of Cincinnati.
752
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,000
the Giants also with an opportunity, but they lost their first game.
753
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,000
Three strike, three balls and one strike to Joe Morgan.
754
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,000
No score in this ball game, last half of the fourth inning, one out.
755
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Houston batting with no one on base.
756
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,000
And Drysdale pumps and throws, swung on, a looper going into shallow center, coming in Willie Davis now,
757
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:10,000
and he's there, loves it for the out, it's two away.
758
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Willie can really cover the territory, moving back to the left and right and coming in.
759
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Rusty Stubb, and if you were here, what had happened, you'll never forget,
760
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
and if you were listening, perhaps you'll never forget,
761
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:31,000
the first home run Rusty Stubb ever got in the big leagues was off this big right-hander, Don Drysdale, last year,
762
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:39,000
and it was at deep into the right of straightaway center, the pitch, high for ball one.
763
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Rusty popped out to first base in the first inning today.
764
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:52,000
32 runs batted in for the redhead, the pitch, Stubb takes in there for strike call, one ball and one strike.
765
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Drysdale with that sort of a whiplash delivery, it's hard to pick up the flight of the ball, gets in on you.
766
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,000
Rocks back and delivery, swung on, popped up.
767
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000
This is back of the plate, Roseberg off with a mass following back now.
768
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,000
He's under it, and Roseberg grabs it for the foot out.
769
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Boy, this game is moving along, Houston here, no runs, no hits.
770
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
None left on, and there were no errors.
771
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Well, at the end of four innings of play, Los Angeles nothing, and Houston nothing.
772
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Well, in a few short days, the 1964 baseball season will be over,
773
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:38,000
and we'd like to say we've enjoyed entertaining those of you who were winners of our various contests throughout the season,
774
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:47,000
and our thanks to Trans-Texas Airways with its new radar-smooth conveyors and extended time-saving schedules
775
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,000
for helping us make your trips here more enjoyable,
776
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:56,000
and to the world-famous Shamrock-Hilson Hotel for the wonderful accommodations our guests enjoyed.
777
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,000
A special congratulations goes out to our grand prize winners,
778
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:07,000
who will soon be winging their way to the New York World's Fair aboard American Airlines, route to the Astrojets,
779
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
and to all of our listeners.
780
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Be sure to join us daily for 1964 and next year,
781
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:19,000
when we will originate from our palatial new home in the fabulous Dome Stadium.
782
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:29,000
A lot of people around here today, in fact, every day, everywhere, talking about the Dome Stadium.
783
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Ron Fairley, first baseman for the Dodgers, will lead off.
784
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:36,000
He struck out swinging in the second inning.
785
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,000
And here's Bob Bruce with the rock back on the mound, the pitch, and it's in there for a strike call.
786
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Tony Vinson calling him back to play today.
787
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:51,000
An almost unbelievable finish here, believe me, in this National League this season.
788
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
We've had some great and exciting finishes, haven't we?
789
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
But this is going to top them all, it looks like.
790
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
There's a drive bounding down to Bond. He doesn't come up with it.
791
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
It was down just between his shoes, and then Arab Bond.
792
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:09,000
He just had to make a couple of three little strides to his right, and it was going to pump it underhand over to Bruce covering it first, I suppose.
793
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,000
But he did not come up with the ball, look back, and couldn't fetch it in time.
794
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Second baseman, number 29, Nate Oliver.
795
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
So there's the first error of the ballgame, and the lead batter is on.
796
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Fairley at first, and here is Nate Oliver.
797
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Oliver, on a question play there at second base, was first chalked up as an error,
798
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:38,000
and then later reversed, scored as a base hit on the infield, with Casco driving back hard to his right
799
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,000
on a bounder that in his backhand a try went off with a glove and skipped a power off the shoulder.
800
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Here's the bunk off to the right side, and Bond will go back to Morgan at first base covering.
801
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
the sacrifice is okay.
802
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:59,000
So with the man at second now fairly sacrificed along, it's won out, and Bart Shirley is the batter.
803
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Shirley was hitting at a clip of 3.06 coming into the ballgame, was dropped to 2.97,
804
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:11,000
of course has not been up very many times, 37 times at bat, and has 11 hits.
805
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:15,000
Right end batter.
806
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Bart Shirley out of the University of Texas and received an award as the minor league Texas ballplayer
807
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
who was most likely to succeed as a major leaguer.
808
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:37,000
And here he is being given a good try by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the defending world's champions.
809
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Bob Bruce looks in there.
810
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Runner at second. No score, but the Dodgers threaten here with one out.
811
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:48,000
And a pitch. In tight.
812
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Bob saw the pitch around him a little bit.
813
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:04,000
And Bruce, with the pressure on, the infield of course having to be concerned with the batter,
814
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,000
with no one on at first base, one out.
815
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,000
the runner leads off at second, a pitch, and a swung on hit deep into left center field.
816
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Wynn goes back. Wynn fading away back there.
817
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
He's under it, and he grabs it off for the put out.
818
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Jimmy got a good jump on the ball at the crack of the bat and made it look relatively easy.
819
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Of course you've got to make that play any day, all the way in the big leagues.
820
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:33,000
And here's Don Grisdell with two men out.
821
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Grisdell bounced by three his first time up.
822
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:46,000
So now Cincinnati has won 90 games and lost 66, and Philadelphia has won 90 games and lost 67.
823
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Cincinnati is on its way to another victory in a double dip up at Shea Stadium in New York today.
824
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:03,000
the wind is blowing straight in right at the moment, as indicated by the flags at center field.
825
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,000
And a pitch. So Grisdell is high.
826
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Ball one.
827
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
That's right, if you were not tuned in, we gave that final score.
828
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Milwaukee, Clover, Philadelphia 14 to 8.
829
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Callison got three homers all in vain.
830
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:32,000
We'll have a few sprinkles and we'll tiptoe around and through this one today.
831
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Weatherman's being real nice to us today. We had some very ominous clouds out there.
832
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Rowing and causing it up. There's a ball going on past the middle of Grady on a high fastball delivery.
833
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
And advancing to third, run fairly.
834
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Followed a wild pitch.
835
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Wild pitch, Bruce.
836
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Fairly advancing to third, the count goes ball two and strike one with two out.
837
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,000
No score in the ballgame. Grisdell.
838
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Batting average of 178.
839
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Grisdell is one real fine competitor and a good attitude, of course.
840
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,000
To a great extent, that is a part of success.
841
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:25,000
This is a game of baseball, a pitch, and it drops a lot away.
842
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Bragging stuff, sliding off it. If there's ball three and strike one, just a few more raindrops.
843
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:40,000
But not too many people stirring right at this moment. A lot of umbrellas out, though.
844
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Bob Bruce ready.
845
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:46,000
And the pitch. And it missed high. Ball four.
846
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:54,000
And Bruce has given up a base on balls to Don Grisdell, the first free ticket off Bob Bruce today.
847
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Thirty-two bases on balls for the season.
848
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:02,000
And the second is for Tim Trzucski.
849
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Tim Trzucski, the shortstop, who has one of the two hits allowed by Bob Bruce, is the batter.
850
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:12,000
the right-hand batter is Trzucski, and he has a 252 batting average.
851
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Nothing and nothing now with runners at third and first, two men are out.
852
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Bob Bruce giving up the first walk in 14 innings to Grisdell, who leads off at first.
853
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Fairly third. the pitch swung on and missed.
854
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Bruce over the top and bowing right through to follow through on that delivery.
855
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Trzucski popped a short after he's singled. So he's one for two today.
856
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Pitch swung on, hit down to the left side to short. Ground ball scooped up by Casco.
857
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,000
Pitch at the Morgan. Force play on Grisdell.
858
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
A nice play. You've got to make that one.
859
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:51,000
No runs, no hits, and two left on. It was one error.
860
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:58,000
We move into the last of the fifth inning. It's Houston nothing and Los Angeles nothing.
861
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Well, Don Grisdell back on the mound getting warm up for those last of the fifth inning coming around.
862
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,000
And he'll be facing Walter Bond, Bob Aspermati, and Jimmy Wern.
863
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:14,000
Nothing and nothing. Two hits in the ball game, both by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
864
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:20,000
Walter Bond up there now, big left hand batter, and swings and nubs one down softly to the first baseman Fairly.
865
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Steps on first, and it's one away. Unassisted put out.
866
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Chicago got four runs on. the Ernie Banks slammed there in the fifth inning.
867
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:35,000
And the Cubs lead the Giants four nothing through five innings of that second game of the double header.
868
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
Chicago won the first game off the Giants. Four and one was the final score.
869
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Oh boy, the Giants had visions of sugar plum fairies or something up there when they were playing today
870
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:50,000
to start their double header only three games back of Philadelphia.
871
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Aspermati moves out on that high inside fast one, ball one.
872
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Bond rounded short to first his first time up today.
873
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Within the opening lineup, first game ever for the 45s in Coe Stadium.
874
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Came up with three hits, had the first hit as a Coe 45.
875
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:15,000
Here's the pitch. Swung on and wrapped into left field not too late.
876
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Tommy Davis up with that glove, just almost standing in his tracks, has got it.
877
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,000
And it's two away.
878
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:28,000
So in the last half of the fifth inning, two men were down, no one on base, and Jimmy Wernherst the batter.
879
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:33,000
One punch, one fairly deep into left field, taken by Tommy Davis in the second inning.
880
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Well, we were mixing them up now on ground balls and fly balls.
881
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Drysdale has not featured a strikeout pitch at all here today.
882
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,000
He has not walked a man. He has not struck out a batter.
883
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Jimmy Wern, who has a two, 14 batting average,
884
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:59,000
coming up out around and here's the pitch to him, strike call, right in and over.
885
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Wern has four homers, six doubles, and 14 RBIs.
886
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Jim has now been up 192 times as a 45 this year, the pitch.
887
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
And that's a fastball over.
888
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Talking about Drysdale has improved his mark over the overall mark of last year in the pennant winning and championship year.
889
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,000
Drysdale has a 2.19 earned run average.
890
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,000
Last year he had 263 on the season.
891
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:34,000
the pitch has a check swing, a ball breaking low on the outside.
892
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:39,000
And so the county is ball one and strike two, two down.
893
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:44,000
No score in this ball game.
894
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Drysdale pumps the new ball this time.
895
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:57,000
So Don Drysdale, who last year had a record of 19 wins and 17 losses, is 18 against 15 losses this year.
896
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:04,000
the pitch high, pop-down. Man, this is a mile up into the crowd off third base side.
897
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:11,000
the county will hold at ball one and strike two.
898
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:17,000
But we have a new leader in the National League, and it's Cincinnati,
899
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:22,000
which won its seventh consecutive ball game when they polished off the mess the first game of the doubleheader today.
900
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Here's the next pitch now, and just a shade off the strike zone.
901
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Ball two and strike two.
902
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Everybody started to leave the scene there for the Dodgers on the infield.
903
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:41,000
It was that close, in other words.
904
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:46,000
And Cincinnati is leading over New York, 3-0 the second inning of the second game.
905
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,000
Winn swings and fouls back the wire.
906
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,000
Jimmy trying to put us on the scoreboard up there.
907
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Nothing and nothing right now. Two hits and the Dodgers have them both.
908
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:07,000
This is the final, of course, and everybody knows it as far as the home games are concerned this year.
909
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,000
And we'll move into San Francisco Tuesday night.
910
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:14,000
And that's breaking stuff low and away.
911
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:21,000
This portion of our play-by-play being sent to you by the Pearl Brewing Company of San Antonio.
912
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Enjoy a cold pearl beer.
913
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,000
It's brewed with that famous spring water from the country of you-know-where.
914
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Right.
915
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,000
Jimmy one now with a three-two. Here it is. On the way.
916
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,000
Hello, ball four. He locked in.
917
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,000
There goes a perfect ball game, and we get a base runner.
918
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,000
How do you like those apples?
919
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:51,000
Drysdale has given up his 63rd base on balls of the season.
920
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:59,000
And let's see, 303 innings, four, five, six, seven, 308 innings and a third.
921
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
He has worked so far this year. And that was his 63rd base on balls.
922
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Here's Eddie Cascaw, who grounded short first his first time.
923
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,000
Drysdale a glance over the shoulder and does a bouncer.
924
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,000
the outside edge of the play for one.
925
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Drysdale crossing them, mixing them up in there.
926
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,000
There's not a lot of base here.
927
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,000
And this is the first base runner that we have managed.
928
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,000
As Wynn threw out her three-two for a base on balls.
929
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,000
And big down Drysdale is all set.
930
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Here's Wynn breaking on the pitch, the pitch out.
931
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
the pitch goes down to second. Wynn slides. He's out.
932
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Wynn was trying to sort of swing around outside slide.
933
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,000
And Nate Oliver in there took the throw on the pitch out.
934
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,000
They had his number and tagged him out of there.
935
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
So making two-four to score long on the put-on.
936
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,000
And for Houston, no runs, no hits. None left. There were no errors.
937
01:08:54,000 --> 01:09:02,000
At the end of five complete innings, it's Los Angeles nothing and Houston nothing.
938
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:06,000
Here's the left-hand batter, Darrell Griffith leading off from the Dodgers.
939
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,000
And right-hander Gross ready to feed in the first one.
940
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Here comes Swinart and Mist, strike one.
941
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:24,000
Mr. George, it's precipitating just slightly there.
942
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Here's Gross with the up. the pitch is hit down to the right side.
943
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,000
the ground ball, Morgan's got it. Feeds it back to Bob.
944
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,000
It first got him.
945
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:38,000
So Griffith's bounce, 4-3 on Morgan at the edge of the outfield grass back to the boundary.
946
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:45,000
4-3. George Ferguson of the Vysorsport Facts just walked in to say hello.
947
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:52,000
And out of the good area down there, Freeport and Vysorsport and Clute and all through there,
948
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:56,000
you read his fine sports coverage.
949
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Well, there's the left-hander batter. Swings on the changeup and fouls it off.
950
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Here's the slice-stepping on the top side for strike one.
951
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Davis has popped a third and struck out swinging.
952
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Bruce has recorded four strikeouts here today.
953
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,000
And we have a 0-0 battle and two hits in the game.
954
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,000
the Dodgers have both those.
955
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Bruce's pitch, swing on, high one, fouled off back of the right-field line.
956
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Way back up in there for the souvenir.
957
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:32,000
I would say we've got around 7-8,000 people or so here in spite of the threatening weather.
958
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Tommy Davis is on deck.
959
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Willie Davis at 2-94 batting average.
960
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Pitch, a little number foul off to the right of the plate.
961
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Got that one on the top side.
962
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Bruce backing down there for them.
963
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Bruce gives you that tantalizing slow motion, soft and fluffy like, you know, those popcorn up there.
964
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,000
You've got to watch him.
965
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,000
And then he'll turn that fastball loose on you.
966
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,000
So you've got to be ready for most anything.
967
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,000
1-2, one out, Dodgers batting and no one on base.
968
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,000
We're in the top of the sixth inning, scoreless.
969
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:15,000
But there were some scores over there in that Milwaukee-Philadelphia game.
970
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:20,000
22 runs, a swing way up there on your best strike three.
971
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
That was up over the head almost.
972
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,000
And Bruce recovers his first strikeout.
973
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Well, he breezed him out of there.
974
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:39,000
And he gives Bruce 134 strikeouts for the season with two down against Tommy Davis.
975
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:48,000
And Tommy's batting average is 274, 84 runs batted in.
976
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Right in better up there.
977
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Bruce got two out now in the top of sixth inning, no score in this ballgame.
978
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Bob wants another sign and okays it.
979
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Now he goes into the pump, rocks back, and here's the pitch.
980
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Missing just a little off the track down, ball on.
981
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Those ball would be the next batter.
982
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:23,000
All right, Bruce, who's an easygoing right-hander on the mound, plenty of time he takes.
983
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Golovitz, swing on, drive into the field.
984
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,000
Spangler goes back, a goal is pretty well tagged.
985
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Glenn, open arms, stretching well with the drive now on his guard.
986
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Glenn coming from the center over to the left side, hauls it in.
987
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,000
And Spangler backed off that fly.
988
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:41,000
No runs, no hits, no enough to board, and there were no errors.
989
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,000
We move on to the last half of the sixth inning, the score.
990
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,000
It's no score.
991
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Houston nothing, Los Angeles nothing.
992
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Let's welcome here this afternoon.
993
01:12:49,000 --> 01:13:06,000
If you're the kind of man who likes a simple life, an outdoor vacation with the kids and the wife, a hunt or a fishing trip, you like that kind of thing.
994
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:11,000
You like the beer from the country of 1100 springs.
995
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Let's have a pearl beer, pearl's the beer that brings refreshments from the country of 1100 springs.
996
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,000
So let's have a cold pearl beer.
997
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Pearl is better beer because it's brewed with famous spring water from the country of 1100 springs.
998
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Refreshments from the country of 1100 springs.
999
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:54,000
So let's have a cold pearl beer.
1000
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Well, I'll say one thing here at Coast Stadium today.
1001
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:01,000
For the Winder Upper, as far as NASA League regularly scheduled based on Coast Stadium,
1002
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:07,000
we've got one humbinger of a pitching duel, nothing and nothing.
1003
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Going to the last of the sixth inning and Eddie Kessco leads off for the 45s.
1004
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Brody and Brewster follow.
1005
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Drysdale and Brewster hooked up in the duel.
1006
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:22,000
the only two hits gotten today, Trzyskij single to left and Oliver single in the hole, deep short.
1007
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:26,000
Drysdale ready to pump and grow to Eddie Kessco.
1008
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,000
This is just his second appearance.
1009
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,000
There's a bounder down to short.
1010
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Trzyskij and scoops and throws over and boy, he looks Jim Dandy out there at short, doesn't he?
1011
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
One down.
1012
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Jerry Grote the batter.
1013
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,000
He's flying to right field his first time.
1014
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
And a pitch.
1015
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Swung on.
1016
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,000
There's a broken back down to the right side.
1017
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,000
Second baseman made out of a humbinger.
1018
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,000
He can't come up with it.
1019
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Double down to the right side of the carpet and they call it error four.
1020
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,000
And Grote is aboard.
1021
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,000
And we might see a little bit of sacrifice funding here.
1022
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,000
It's an amazing reduction, isn't it?
1023
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Al Spangler moves out on deck.
1024
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Third baseman Griffith over to the mound.
1025
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:20,000
And to play this, he's going to cover what spot of territory right in there and how and so on.
1026
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:25,000
And fairly holds against Brody at first.
1027
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:30,000
This is just our second baserunner, mind you.
1028
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
And the delivery is low.
1029
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Fairly charging in down from first.
1030
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:49,000
We have not had a man stranded on base, as a matter of fact, to show you the effectiveness of Drysdale so far this afternoon.
1031
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,000
He's done.
1032
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Ready.
1033
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Third baseman coming down the grass.
1034
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
the pitch is low and it's ball two.
1035
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,000
First round at 5-3 in the third inning this first time.
1036
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:04,000
And looking down to Busby coaching up at third, what will it do?
1037
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,000
And I imagine that Luman is bouncing the signal off Buster there.
1038
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Of course, the dares are coached first.
1039
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,000
And coaching Brody who edges away.
1040
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:18,000
the pitch is bonded on and missed and it's ball two and strike one.
1041
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:27,000
Bruce tried to get right on top of the ball and get it out there and put a little deadening on it, I guess.
1042
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Couldn't make contact.
1043
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Ball two and strike one with one out.
1044
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:36,000
Bruce overall in the season has 11 hits and 60 times at bat.
1045
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:41,000
One of them has been a double and he has one run batted in.
1046
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,000
That double was right here, wasn't it?
1047
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Down that right field line.
1048
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Two balls, one strike.
1049
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,000
First one out, no score.
1050
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:50,000
We're in the last half of the sixth inning.
1051
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Brody edges off at first.
1052
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:57,000
Drysdale comes to the plate and it's sort of a half-chopping swing.
1053
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:08,000
He had a bun position with the bat and then sort of took a stiff arm swing into ball, two-two.
1054
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:16,000
It appears that Bruce was trying to line one over the third baseman's head there.
1055
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Darryl Griffith.
1056
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:24,000
Boy, the weather's turned off just beautiful here, hasn't it?
1057
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Sort of air conditioned like we expect from the Dome Stadium.
1058
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Two-two.
1059
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Here's the pitch.
1060
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:34,000
the ball is bunned on and missed and it's strike three and Bruce is out.
1061
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Holding at first base is Jerry Grohle.
1062
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:41,000
That'll bring on Spangler who has bounded five-three and has popped out the short.
1063
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Al Spangler.
1064
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:49,000
We have not been able to get a base hit off Don Drysdale.
1065
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:54,000
And the Dodgers have had just two hits off Bob Bruce to show you what kind of pitching we're getting here this afternoon.
1066
01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:00,000
But we've had, as we think back, a lot of well-pitched games in this stadium, haven't we?
1067
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,000
All three years.
1068
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,000
Some beautifully-pitched games.
1069
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,000
Drysdale to the Rosenbach.
1070
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:15,000
Al Spangler with a 2.47 batting average has 36 runs batted in and the extra base total 18 doubles, five triples and four homers.
1071
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Drysdale off of the stretch of the pitch.
1072
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Spong on.
1073
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,000
There's a line in the center field.
1074
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,000
They've got Joe up to the second and holds on there.
1075
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Spangler gets the first hit of the ball game off Don Drysdale.
1076
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,000
And it brings up little Joe Morgan.
1077
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:36,000
So another left-hander to face right-handed Don Drysdale.
1078
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:48,000
And this right-hander has been quite troublesome to the hitters with all kinds of breaking stuff and a motion that's very difficult to pick the flattest ball up easily on.
1079
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,000
And he's got a good fast ball.
1080
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:56,000
He can mix that in with him, you know, all those breaking stuff.
1081
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Brody in second and Spangler at first.
1082
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Morgan, who has grabbed it out and flied out, touches in on that plate in the batting stance.
1083
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,000
And Drysdale pumps and he's ready to pitch down to little Joe.
1084
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:13,000
A strike call.
1085
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Morgan has been about 20 times and has six bases on balls.
1086
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,000
He's looking for his second hit.
1087
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:29,000
And he's wrapped the ball very sharply on several occasions.
1088
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:35,000
They have swung to right on the defensive infield and outfield. Runners at second and first, two down.
1089
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,000
0-1 count the pitch.
1090
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Low ball, one and strike one.
1091
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Morgan guards in on that plate.
1092
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Drysdale with a very fabulous earned one average, especially when you consider the number of innings he has pitched.
1093
01:19:53,000 --> 01:20:00,000
2.19 earned one average in 303 and two-thirds innings going in today.
1094
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,000
Willard Davis is going to get sunshades, I guess.
1095
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:16,000
the sun is breaking through now and all the boys who figure in the sun field wanting the shades because the back sunshine suddenly breaks through here.
1096
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:22,000
We've had overcast and some sprinkling, a little bit of precipitation.
1097
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, no score battle.
1098
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Fine pitching for two right-handers, Don Drysdale and Bob Bruce.
1099
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,000
Sunshades are being given to four of them.
1100
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Trzewski from short, Nate Oliver at second, center fielder Willie Davis and the right fielder, Darryl Griffith.
1101
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,000
That was the calls for the little break here.
1102
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,000
the count is ball one and strike one.
1103
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
And Morgan is back to the plate.
1104
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Little Joe, go to the runner at second and Sprangler leads off at first.
1105
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,000
And here's Drysdale all set now, the stretch.
1106
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,000
the big right-hander pumps, the pitch down.
1107
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,000
Morgan takes inside.
1108
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Ball two and strike one.
1109
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,000
I like his reflexes and I know you do too.
1110
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,000
You've seen him up bat fans.
1111
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Joe Farrows, he's aggressive and for that reason he might occasionally go for a pitch.
1112
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Morgan now waiting as Drysdale comes down with the pitch and it's swung on
1113
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,000
and Roller goes down to the first baseman.
1114
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Fail has got it.
1115
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:30,000
A little hopper and he takes for the putout, stepping on first, an unassisted putout.
1116
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,000
No runs, one hit, two left.
1117
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,000
There was one error.
1118
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:40,000
And at the end of six innings of play, it's Houston nothing.
1119
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,000
At Los Angeles nothing.
1120
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Well, we've had six innings of this ballgame down in the books.
1121
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,000
And moving to inning number seven, Houston nothing, the Dodgers nothing.
1122
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,000
And here again is Gene Elston.
1123
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:59,000
Thank you very much now as we move on to the seventh inning in a real fine ballgame out here today.
1124
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:00,000
No score.
1125
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,000
We've had only three hits so far.
1126
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,000
And here's the first pitch to John Roseborough.
1127
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:08,000
There's a swing and a miss and it's strike one.
1128
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Roseborough has been up twice and both times he has flied out.
1129
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,000
He'll be followed by Ron Fairley and then Nate Oliver.
1130
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Nobody out, nobody on base.
1131
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Here's the windup by Bruce.
1132
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Next pitch into Roseborough and he takes a strike on the inside corner of the knees and it's 0-2.
1133
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Total attendance today is 8,186, 8186 total crowd and the official paid is 6,246, 6-2, 4-6 the paid crowd.
1134
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,000
Low inside pitch to Roseborough and it's one ball and two strikes.
1135
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Rose now through six innings has given up only two hits, a single by Trudewski in the first and a single by Oliver in the second.
1136
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,000
He has walked only one and he has struck out five betters.
1137
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,000
He has also fired a wild pitch.
1138
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,000
No score, seventh inning.
1139
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Here's the one and two pitch to Roseborough.
1140
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Pop-up, foul off the right side.
1141
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Bond and Grote both coming over for it now.
1142
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,000
Bond by the dugout.
1143
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Watch out, Oliver, almost went down in there.
1144
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,000
He got it and there's one down.
1145
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:14,000
So Bond on the top of the dugout reaches in to grab that one and there's one down.
1146
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:19,000
So Roseborough has fouled out to first and here's the first baseman, Ron Fairley.
1147
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Cardinals beat Pittsburgh, five to nothing.
1148
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:29,000
It was a six-hit shutout by Roger Craig and St. Louis is a game out of first.
1149
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,000
How about that one for a race?
1150
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Cincinnati first, Philadelphia second, a half out and the Cardinals a game out.
1151
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,000
There's a strike to Fairley around the belt.
1152
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Closing pitcher was Vernon Law as the Cardinals won their fifth game in a row, five to nothing over Pittsburgh.
1153
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,000
No home runs in that game.
1154
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,000
One strike on Fairley.
1155
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,000
He has struck out and was safe on an error.
1156
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:54,000
Curve strike, oh that was a beauty right in there and it's 0-2 now.
1157
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,000
Second baseman, Nate Oliver, will be up next.
1158
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,000
This ball game is nothing and nothing.
1159
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Time for the seventh, one out, nobody on base.
1160
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,000
And a two-strike count on left-handed batter Ron Fairley.
1161
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:08,000
Here's the pitch, fastball.
1162
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,000
That's popped up down the left-field line.
1163
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,000
Asperavani and foul territory for it.
1164
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Shades that sunshine from his eyes.
1165
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,000
He's got it and they're two men out.
1166
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:21,000
So both batters here to open the seventh, Roseboro and Fairley have fouled out.
1167
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,000
And that will bring up the second baseman, Nate Oliver.
1168
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Second baseman, number 29, Nate Oliver.
1169
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Oliver has singled and sacrificed.
1170
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,000
He had an infield hit to shortstop.
1171
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:36,000
And then butted up Fairley who was safe on Bonds' error in the fifth inning.
1172
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,000
Right-handed batter, two outs, nobody on base.
1173
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:42,000
And Bruce's first pitch is a little bit inside for ball one, one to nothing.
1174
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,000
One ball, no strikes.
1175
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Bruce in one stage today, retired seven batters in a row.
1176
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:55,000
And Drysdale, before he gave up a walk to win, had put down 14 consecutive Houston batters.
1177
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,000
Ball low outside and then of course, Spangler got that base hit.
1178
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,000
the only one off Drysdale so far in the sixth.
1179
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Two outs, nobody on base, top of the seventh.
1180
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,000
And as Lowell mentioned, we're getting sunshine here in Outgold Stadium.
1181
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:07,000
Here's the windup and the pitch on the way.
1182
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,000
And there's a fly ball back in the center field.
1183
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,000
Jimmy Wynn down to the sunshades on this one.
1184
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:12,000
He's under it.
1185
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,000
And he's got it and that retires the side.
1186
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:21,000
That's seven batters in a row again now, but Bruce is retired as Oliver ends the seventh inning by flying to Jimmy Wynn.
1187
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left on base.
1188
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Our ball game moves to the last half of the seventh with the score Houston nothing, Los Angeles nothing.
1189
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:36,000
In every glass of Pearl beer, the grains and hops have to be the best.
1190
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Ripened in the sun, chosen to measure up to the Pearl beer formula, which has been perfecting now for 75 years and more.
1191
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,000
Then comes the water.
1192
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:52,000
And when you get down to the water, either you have it or you haven't.
1193
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:57,000
Pearl beer has it, the best brewing water in this part of the world.
1194
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:02,000
Pure spring water from the country of 1100 springs.
1195
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:12,000
the Frio, Medina, Sabinal and Nueces run swift and bright and then disappear underground into the limestone.
1196
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:17,000
Patiently it filters for a hundred miles to the artesian wells at the Pearl Brewery.
1197
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:22,000
This water brings out all the flavor of premium grains and hops.
1198
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:31,000
You can taste the difference perfect brewing water makes every time you have a cold Pearl beer from the country of 1100 springs.
1199
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Bottom half of the seventh inning now and Rusty Staub, Wal Bond and Bob Aspermati will be leading off here against Don Drysdale.
1200
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:47,000
Let's pause for station identification. This is the cold 45s baseball network.
1201
01:26:47,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Rhymesdale all set to pitch to Staub. Now Rusty has popped out and fouled out his first two times up here this afternoon left handed batter.
1202
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:10,000
Drysdale's first pitch to Rusty, high fastball ball one.
1203
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:15,000
At the end of three innings at Shea Stadium, Cincinnati three, New York nothing.
1204
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Reds won the first game four to one.
1205
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:28,000
Phillies lost to the Braves 14 to eight and the Cardinals defeated Pittsburgh five to nothing.
1206
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Nate Oliver getting some sunglasses at second base.
1207
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:41,000
So Cincinnati has gone into first place in the National League by half a game over Philadelphia and St. Louis is in third place just a game out.
1208
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Yankees lost and Baltimore won today and the White Sox are winning.
1209
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:55,000
So the Yankees lost a game on their American League League their first three games out in front of Baltimore and the White Sox appear to be having no trouble with Kansas City today.
1210
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:59,000
So they probably will stay three games behind, pick up a full game on the Yankees also.
1211
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:04,000
Here's the one and all pitch now to Rusty and Staub hits a fly ball to set left center field.
1212
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:09,000
the left fielder Tommy Davis is over for this one and he holds it in for the first out.
1213
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:17,000
So starved his fly the left center to open the seventh inning and that will bring up Houston's first baseman Walter Bond.
1214
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Chicago for San Francisco to with the Cubs batting in the bottom of the seventh.
1215
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Lowell told you that Ernie Banks had a grand slam.
1216
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:34,000
That incidentally is the tenth grand slam of Ernie Banks career and not too many ballplayers get into the double figures on those.
1217
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Number 10 for Banks and the Cubs won the first game four to one.
1218
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,000
Giants losing a lot of valuable ground in the National League today.
1219
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:50,000
Walt hits a high pop on the left side and Dick Truszewski now the third baseman Bart Shirley on the outfield grass two down.
1220
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Awfully a lot of pop outs off of Drysdale today.
1221
01:28:53,000 --> 01:29:00,000
So Bond is up three times without a hit as he pops out to Bart Shirley two away and here's Bob Espramonte.
1222
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Espramonte is over two he's grounded out and flat out.
1223
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:16,000
Espramonte right handed batter no score here in the last half of the seventh inning.
1224
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Drysdale has given up one hit a sixth inning single by Al Spangler has struck out only one batter today.
1225
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:28,000
He caught Bruce looking in the sixth and has given up only one base on balls.
1226
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Drysdale retired the first 14 men to face him before he walked win in the fifth he was cut down trying to steal.
1227
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:39,000
And then Grote reached on an error by Oliver at second in the sixth and the same inning Spangler single.
1228
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:44,000
Asprow looks at the strike up around the letters and it's strike one.
1229
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,000
Two outs and nobody on seventh inning.
1230
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,000
Houston and Los Angeles are scoreless.
1231
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Drysdale throws to Asprow again now and he swings and misses that one and Drysdale gets out in front of him with two strikes.
1232
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:03,000
White Sox five and Kansas City one at the end of four innings of their game.
1233
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Joe Harlan started Blue Moon Odom started but was taken out in the second for Kansas City when the White Sox scored four runs.
1234
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Here's the two strike pitch to Espramonte swinging a miss and he's struck him out retired aside.
1235
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:18,000
That's the second strike out for Drysdale three up and three down for Houston here in the seventh inning.
1236
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,000
No runs no hits no errors and nobody left on base.
1237
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:27,000
And at the end of seven innings of play Stildo scored the Dodgers nothing and McCole forty five nothing.
1238
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Pearl beer is brewed with the finest blends and hops.
1239
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:40,000
And to be quite honest any other brewer in America who wanted to could use essentially the same fine ingredients.
1240
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:46,000
But when it comes to the all important ingredient water a brewer must use what he has at hand.
1241
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:52,000
And that's what gives Pearl beer its unique advantage and its marvelously refreshing quality.
1242
01:30:52,000 --> 01:31:03,000
So underneath the Pearl Brewery are Pearl's famous Artesian Wells whose water comes pure and clear from the country of eleven hundred springs.
1243
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:18,000
Let's have a Pearl beer, Pearl's the beer that brings a freshman from the country of eleven hundred springs. So let's have a Pearl beer.
1244
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:24,000
A new convenient way to enjoy Pearl is in the glass bottle you don't take back.
1245
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Pure's more beer in less space and pure glass protects natural beer flavor.
1246
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:38,000
Have a cold Pearl beer. Oh I was just checking here I think a very interesting note at this stage since this is the final game that we'll be playing here at Cold Stadium.
1247
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:48,000
In three years going into our final game today the cold forty fives are only nine games under five hundred against National League competition here at Cold Stadium.
1248
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Houston has won a hundred and sixteen games and has lost a hundred and twenty five in this ballpark.
1249
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:59,000
Here's the first pitch now to Bart Shirley the third baseman and he takes a strike.
1250
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:07,000
We were seventy six wins eighty five losses going into this year and starting this game we are forty forty here at Cold Stadium.
1251
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:12,000
One strike to count on Shirley here's the pitch by Bruce it's high and it's one ball one strike.
1252
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Shirley was safe in the fielder's choice in the second flight out in the fifth inning to center field he is 0 for 2.

1257
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:46,000

1265
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:28,000
That's the eighth batter in a row now that Bruce is retired as Shirley opens the eighth inning by grounding to Casco.
1266
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:32,000
That'll bring up the pitcher Don Drysdale.
1267
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:36,000
Pitcher number 53 Don Drysdale.
1268
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Right hander John Purden is loosening up for the Dodgers down the right field line.
1269
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:50,000
Well here's Drysdale he has been on base once he drew a walk in the fifth and the first time up he bounced out to Esperamonte.
1270
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:54,000

1273
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:14,000
As the Tigers beat Boston three to nothing Bill Montbouquet was the losing pitcher and Bill Bruton had a home run for the Tigers.
1274
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Minnesota Los Angeles has not yet started.
1275
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:26,000
One strike to count and here's the pitch by Bruce Drysdale starts to go checks it's in there for a strike and it's on two.
1276
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Cincinnati did not score in the fourth they still lead the Mets three to nothing in that second game with New York batting in the bottom of the fourth.
1277
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:41,000
Here's the two strike pitch to Drysdale slew a curve and he struck him out at the outside point of the belt.
1278
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:48,000
That's the sixth strike out for Bruce today two away now and here's the top of the batting order Dick Truszewski.
1279
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Truszewski has one of the two hits off Bruce a first inning line single to left field.
1280
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Next then he has popped a short and was safe on the field of his choice.
1281
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Two outs nobody on. Outfield is pretty well straight away for this little fellow and the first pitch is right in there up around the letters for a strike.
1282
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:13,000
No score Dodgers nothing Colt forty fives nothing eighth inning.
1283
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,000
Each club has committed an error and a total of only three.
1284
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:22,000
It's as a change bounce to shortstop cast goes up without a knee high and they shoots it over the first base to retire the side.
1285
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Ten straight retired by Bruce now as Truszewski ends the inning by bouncing out to shortstop.
1286
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,000

1288
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Thirty six or eight.
1289
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:53,000
If you're the kind of man who likes a simple life and outdoor vacation with the kids and the wife.
1290
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:58,000
You like the beer from the country of the leather.
1291
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:17,000
And the spring from the country of the leather.
1292
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Pearl is better beer because it's pruned with famous spring water from the country of eleven hundred springs.
1293
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:47,000
the game of the eighth inning now and Jim will any Casco and Jerry Grote will be facing Don Drysdale.

01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,000
Those of you who may have joined us late.
1296
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Quick recap here.
1297
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Final scores Milwaukee 14 Philadelphia 8.
1298
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:04,000

1299
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:08,000
And St. Louis defeated Pittsburgh five to nothing.
1300
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:13,000
They lost their first game to Chicago for the one and they're losing the second game.
1301
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Here's Jim Lynn fly to the left and draw a base on ball.
1302
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:21,000
See his own for one officially.
1303
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Drysdale has given up only one hit a sixth inning single to Al Spangler.
1304
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Here's Drysdale's first pitch to win a right handed batter and he takes a strike up around the letter strike one.
1305
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,000
Nobody out nobody on base.
1306
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,000
Danny Kuhn starting to loosen up a bit for Houston down the left field line.
1307
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Now the pitch to win there's a ball going on side one ball one strike.
1308
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Well after Cincinnati finishes their game at New York this afternoon the Phillies and Cincinnati each will have only five games remaining to play this year.
1309
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:02,000
While St. Louis will have six on the schedule.
1310
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:07,000
Here's the one one pitch to win on Jimmy swings and files another one off one ball two strikes.
1311
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:13,000
the Phillies will move on the road now. They have played their final game at home during the regular season.
1312
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,000
They will move into St. Louis tomorrow.
1313
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:22,000
They have three games at St. Louis and then finish the season with two games at Cincinnati.
1314
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:27,000
And that next weekend possibly could be the decider in the National League pennant race.
1315
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:33,000
the Reds also as I mentioned have five games to play and all five of Cincinnati's remaining games will be at home.
1316
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,000
They play three against Pittsburgh and the two against the Phillies.
1317
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Here's the one two pitch to win. He got him on that when he checked his swing.
1318
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,000
Call strike up around the letters. Winners been called out on strikes.
1319
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:47,000
And that is the third strikeout by Drysdale one away.
1320
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Here's Eddie Casco. Now the Cardinals of course are only a game out.
1321
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:57,000
And they will play all six of their remaining games at home.
1322
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:06,000
They have three games against the Phillies and then they'll wrap up the season with three games at home against the New York Mets.
1323
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:11,000
Here's Casco both times he's been up. He has bounced a shortstop. No score in this ballgame.
1324
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,000
Bottom of the eighth. Here's the pitch by Drysdale.
1325
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:24,000
Casco hits a bouncing foul ball down by Jim Busby at third and a strike one.
1326
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:30,000
Left hander Jim Brewer loosening up a bit also down the right field line for the Dodgers now.
1327
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:35,000
One out. Nobody on base. Casco the batter and Jerry Grote will be up next.
1328
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:40,000
Here's Drysdale's next pitch daddy. Takes a little bit too high and it's ball one and strike one.
1329
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:47,000
White Sox still lead Kansas City five to one at the end of four innings.
1330
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:55,000
the Yankees won today or rather got beat today. Washington beat the Yankees in eleven innings three to two and Baltimore beat Cleveland four to nothing.
1331
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Here's the one one pitch. A little bit inside above the knees to Casco and it's ball two and strike one.
1332
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:13,000
One out win is open the eighth by striking out and a ball to strike one count on Eddie Casco.
1333
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:19,000
Forty fives will be idle tomorrow but we'll be back in action on Tuesday night in San Francisco.
1334
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:25,000
Opening a three game set against the Giants and then wrap it up next weekend at Dodger Stadium against the same Dodgers.
1335
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Here's the two one pitch. Casco hits a foul ball in front of Busby down the left field line and the count moves to two balls two strikes.
1336
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:37,000
On Tuesday night we will be on the air at nine o'clock Central Standard Time.
1337
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:44,000
Nine o'clock Central Standard Time Tuesday night with the first of the Giants series at Candlestick.
1338
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:52,000
Ball to strike two on Casco. Brody on the on deck circle off the left side. This ball game is nothing and nothing eighth inning.
1339
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:57,000
Outfield shade it just a bit around the left side for Casco. There's a high pop off the right side.
1340
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:03,000
Brody and Oliver and Griffith charging the ball and no one can get it. It goes up into the box seats.
1341
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:15,000
Hit in the first row alongside the Los Angeles bullpen and it's ball two and strike two.
1342
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
So Drysdale gets himself a new baseball.
1343
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:29,000
the 35s have had three base runners in this ball game. Win walk Brody safe on an error and a single by Spangler.
1344
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:33,000
And Drysdale throws the two and two to Casco. He struck him out too.
1345
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:39,000
So Casco goes down swinging and that's three strikeouts in a row for Drysdale and his fourth of the ballgame.
1346
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:45,000
Prior to the seventh inning he had struck out only Bruce. So with two down here's Brody.
1347
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:51,000
He's been up twice without a hit. Reached base in the sixth on an error on the second baseman Nate Oliver.
1348
01:41:51,000 --> 01:42:00,000
the Mets did not score in the bottom of the fourth inning. Cincinnati three New York nothing after four innings of their second game.
1349
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:08,000
And Drysdale's first pitch to Brody and Jerry takes a strike up around the letter strike one.
1350
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Wind is coming in from center field now left center field toward the plate. Pretty good clip at the present time.
1351
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:23,000
Here's the pitch on the way again and Brody goes for Drysdale's fastball and Drysdale evidently got something in his eye just as he delivered the ball.
1352
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:33,000
And he appears to be all right. Probably the perspiration dropped down in his eyes just as he delivered that ball.
1353
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:41,000
But he's out in front of Brody two strikes. Only three hits in this game. Spangler for Houston.
1354
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Truszewski and Oliver for Los Angeles. It's nothing and nothing. Two strikes now on Brody.
1355
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Here's Drysdale's wind up in the pitch now. Swing and a miss and he struck him out. He struck out the side. Four strikeouts in a row for Drysdale.
1356
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:05,000
It's number five. No runs, no head, no errors and nobody left on base. We're going out of the first half of the ninth inning with the score Los Angeles nothing and used to nothing.
1357
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:11,000
We know a lot of you fans are enjoying the convenience of the Colt 45's Dreamliner buses to Colt Stadium.

1364
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:07,000
All buses leave approximately one hour before game time. So ride the Colt 45's Dreamliner buses to Colt Stadium.
1365
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Griffith has struck out twice, his first two times up and in the sixth inning he grounded out second base.
1366
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,000
Number 26, Darrell Griffith.
1367
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Right-hander Jim Owens is going to start loosening up for Houston out on the left of your line as we start the ninth.
1368
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:34,000
Bruce has given up two heads, struck out six and has walked one.
1369
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:41,000
Alcino shifts around the right side for Griffith.
1370
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Wynn coming in from Sutterfield and almost continuing the sunshine here now.
1371
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:56,000
Here's the wind up by Bruce and the first pitch into Griffith and he taps a foul in front of Pete Reeser who's coaching down a third.
1372
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Rolls on down to the Houston bullpen and a strike one.
1373
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,000
Willie Davis in the on-deck circle.
1374
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Dodgers and the Colt 45's are nothing and nothing.
1375
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:15,000
Bob Bruce and Don Drysdale. Here's the pitch on the way to Griffith now. There's a ground ball off the right side.
1376
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Morgan comes in fast on this one he'll have to hurry and just did get him.
1377
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:24,000
On a very slow hit ball, Griffith was shying away from that for some reason.
1378
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:35,000
It evidently was high and inside and he was leaning back and he accidentally hit the ball to second base and Morgan came in to make the pickup and they just got him at first base.
1379
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:38,000
So Griffith has rolled out Morgan to Bond, one out ninth inning.
1380
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:45,000
That's the 11th in a row now that Bruce has retired since he walked Drysdale in the fifth and now here's Willie Davis.
1381
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:49,000
He's been up three times without a hit and has struck out twice.
1382
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Here's Bruce's pitch to Willie Davis. There's a foul ball that's going into the seats down the first base side and a strike one.
1383
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:04,000
One strike on Willie Davis. Tommy Davis will be up next.
1384
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:09,000
Bruce looks over his side from Jerry Grote.
1385
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Here's the pitch now. There's a high fly ball pop up back into right center field. Morgan is back for this one now.
1386
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:20,000
Joe's calling everyone off but now the center fielder Jim Wynn moves in behind him to make the catch.
1387
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:25,000
Morgan all set to grab it and then Wynn called him off of it and they're two down.
1388
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:31,000
So Willie Davis flies to center, two outs and now here's the left fielder for the Dodgers, Tommy Davis.
1389
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,000
He's been up three times without a hit.
1390
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:40,000
Safe on a fielder's choice and the last two times has flied out to right field in the center field.
1391
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,000
No score, ninth inning.
1392
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:51,000
And a right handed batter Tommy Davis into face Bruce.
1393
01:46:51,000 --> 01:47:00,000
Bob Rock's back now and here's the first pitch into Tommy Davis. He takes a strike on the outside corner of the bell to strike one.
1394
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:11,000
Well we hope that you fans have a good supply of Pearl beer on hand for this afternoon's game and a reminder to enjoy Pearl often from the country of 1100 Springs.
1395
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:17,000
Bob takes a double pump out there this time to Tommy Davis and the pitch is low curve ball, line drive on the left field line.
1396
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:23,000
It'll be in there for extra bases. Spangler coming fast Davis on his way to second and Spangler's throw will not be in time.
1397
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,000
It's a double.
1398
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:32,000
So Tommy Davis with two outs in the ninth is doubled over third for his 19th two base hit of the year.
1399
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:37,000
And the Dodgers are threatening now with two outs and the catcher John Roseboro coming up.
1400
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:40,000
That's the third hit off Bruce.
1401
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:50,000
Roseboro is over three. That's the first hit off Bruce since Oliver's singled in the infield with two outs in the second.
1402
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:00,000
Oh Tommy Davis takes his lead off second base Roseboro left handed batter ground ball to Morgan's left.
1403
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:02,000
Joe over four.
1404
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:10,000
Here comes Bobby Davis in the store. the play at the plate is in time.
1405
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:19,000
Bobby Davis is cut down at the plate by Joe Morgan DeGrody on a play that will not ever be any closer than that one.
1406
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:29,000
the ball was hit to Morgan going to his left. He slipped on the wet grass, picked himself up, fired DeGrody and got him to retire the side.
1407
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:52,000
It'll be an hour on Joe Morgan but he recovered in time to get the big play at the plate as Roseboro was safe at first base and Davis was cut down Joe Morgan to Jerry Grote and in the ninth no one hit one error and one man was left on base.
1408
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:59,000
And we got out of the bottom of the ninth inning and this ballgame is still nothing and nothing.
1409
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:06,000
Now there was a thriller play and you got this late in the ballgame and everything hinge right on that one.
1410
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:15,000
So the forty five will be coming up here now on the bottom of the ninth inning with Bob Bruce Al Spangler and Joe Morgan.
1411
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:22,000
Well the lead batter here will be pitcher Bob Bruce with no score last half of the ninth.
1412
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:28,000
Here comes Bob out now. He's pitched a mighty fine ballgame again.
1413
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:34,000
Bob incidentally Bruce has not given up a run now in 18 innings.
1414
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:42,000
He has pitched a shutout through nine today and his last time out he shut out the New York Mets.
1415
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:46,000
So he has not given up a run in 18 innings.
1416
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:52,000
Here's the first pitch by Drysdale and Bob Singles in the right center field may go for two.
1417
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:56,000
You'll have to hold with a single as Tommy Willie Davis makes the pick up.
1418
01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:01,000
Rose Singles in the right center field to open the ninth inning.
1419
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:05,000
That's only the second hit off Drysdale.
1420
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:09,000
Well there's the big one on now if we can get him around.
1421
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Here's Spangler now the only other hit off Drysdale in the sixth and has brought it out and popped out the other two times.
1422
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:32,000
Well we're going to have a little conference in the mile now as Drysdale Roseboro Shirley and Fairleigh all get together now on the hill
1423
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:35,000
to decide what kind of strategy they're going to use here now.
1424
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:42,000
Now to see what Houston does here whether or not they'll be budding Bruce the pitcher up to second base.
1425
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Whether Al will be swinging away now in order to make sure they get straight and everything.
1426
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:58,000
Spangler is having a few words with the third base coach Jim Busby.
1427
01:50:58,000 --> 01:50:59,000
So Bruce is on first.
1428
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:10,000
Keep in mind now that Bruce is not too fast although he does move too slowly but we'll see whether or not they call for the sacrifice.
1429
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:17,000
Joe Morgan will be up next runner on first nobody outscore nothing nothing bottom of the ninth inning.
1430
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:24,000
Here's the stretch now look over the first base and here's the pitch on the way Spangler swings away and he pops it into right field.
1431
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Wes Parker coming on for this one now he makes the play on it one down so the fun was not on as Spangler flies to right field one away.
1432
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:37,000
That'll bring up Joe Morgan now with Bruce still on first base and one out.
1433
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:40,000
Nothing and nothing were in the bottom of the ninth.
1434
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,000
Thirty five Joe Morgan.
1435
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Now this ballgame today is a complete reversal of our opening game here in 1962.
1436
01:51:49,000 --> 01:52:00,000
This is nothing nothing game in the ninth inning and the first one was 11 to 2 and the 45 speech Chicago.
1437
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Here's Morgan he's 0 for 3.
1438
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:06,000
Little left handed batter and Bruce with a very short lead off first base.
1439
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:12,000
Morgan second time he started to go on a low inside pitch ball on.
1440
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Bruce Singleton arrived center field to start the night and Spangler is by the right field.
1441
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:34,000
Rusty Star will be up next one ball no strikes on Morgan and Drysdale throws again and Morgan swings and he misses that one just got a piece of it foul ball right at Roseboro speed and it's one ball in one strike.
1442
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:39,000
Chicago still leading Kansas City five to nothing with the A's batting in the bottom of the six.
1443
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:53,000
Parker fairly well back out in right field Bruce very short offer space here's the pitch Morgan swings at a fastball in a zone to two strikes now Morgan.
1444
01:52:53,000 --> 01:53:09,000
Drysdale has allowed two hits Bruce has given up three and Morgan behind on Drysdale here now with one out Bruce and first ninth inning one ball two strikes.
1445
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:23,000
Drysdale back up on that over again. Here's the pitch on the way and as a tap foul bounces into the Houston dugout back third and the countermains and one ball and two strikes.
1446
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:39,000
Tomorrow we'll be with you on Tuesday night from Candlestick Park San Francisco nine o'clock central standard time with the first of three games against the Giants and the start of our final week of the 1964 season.
1447
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:54,000
Morgan back in again now one ball two strikes. Here's the stretch by Drysdale Bruce still stays close to first base fairly holding up against him high outside fastball to Morgan and two balls and two strikes to two count.
1448
01:53:54,000 --> 01:54:10,000
Bruce single right center field Sprangler fly to right field for the first down and Morgan will be followed by Rusty Staub.
1449
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:26,000
He's on the right side way back.
1450
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:42,000
Morgan is very fast. He took the throw from Oliver but too late.
1451
01:54:42,000 --> 01:55:09,000
That's an infield at Bruce has been moved to second base the forty five seven runners on first and second one out here is Rusty Staub and let's pause here now for station identification.
1452
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:14,000
Smokey Austin is coming to the mound now and we may just have Ron Peranoski.
1453
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:22,000
I don't know what Smokey's feelings would be here now with the winning run on second and one out and a left handed batter coming up.
1454
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:26,000
But he does have Peranoski warmed up in the bullpen.
1455
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Drysdale has pitched himself a three hit shutout through eight and a third innings.
1456
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:39,000
And it appears that Austin is going to stay with his right hander Drysdale.
1457
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:46,000
Big deal stay on only one out and the winning run is on second base.
1458
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Keep in mind now that it's running a second.
1459
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:57,000
So in order to get a run in here it'll take a pretty good solid base in here by stop.
1460
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:06,000
the first pitch for Rusty takes it high and outside ball on one another.
1461
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:09,000
All bond will be up next.
1462
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:22,000
Bruce at second Morgan at first one out Dodger infield of course a double play that there and the score nothing and nothing and the hits are all even on three apiece.
1463
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:30,000
And then Rose a single and Morgan has beaten out an infield at the second outfield deep and around the right side.
1464
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:31,000
Arms down by Drysdale.
1465
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:37,000
Here's the pitch Rusty looks at a fast strike on the inside corner of the knees and a small one and strike one.
1466
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:51,000
the Mets have just scored in that second game and at the end of five Cincinnati three New York one and at the end of six innings in the American League White Sox five Kansas City one.
1467
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:54,000
One ball one strike.
1468
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Two men on one out last of the ninth inning.
1469
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:02,000
Good solid base hit here now I could wrap it up out here for today.
1470
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:05,000
And it's one ball and one strike on stop.
1471
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:09,000
Drysdale peers in to get a sign.
1472
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:14,000
Too big a lead by Bruce off second base here's the pitch ground ball second base double play ball.
1473
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Oliver goes to shortstop out throw to first double play to retire the side.
1474
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,000
That's what the Dodgers were looking for and they got it as Morgan is out at second base.
1475
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:36,000
Oliver going to Trudusky on the relay over to first base ends the ninth inning and we go into extra runnings out here today in the ninth inning no runs on two hits there were no errors with one man left on base.
1476
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Our ballgame now moves to the tent.
1477
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:50,000
With the score Houston nothing and Los Angeles nothing.
1478
01:57:50,000 --> 01:58:07,000
We.
1479
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:11,000
You'll miss Pearl if you go someplace where you can't get it.
1480
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,000
You'll miss Pearl's flavor and character.
1481
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:22,000
You'll know Pearl is better beer because it's brewed with famous spring water from the country of eleven hundred spring.
1482
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:46,000
Let's have a Pearl beer.
1483
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,000
First half of the 10th inning here at Carl's Stadium.
1484
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:53,000
the Dodgers are going to be in the second inning and nothing.
1485
01:58:53,000 --> 01:59:05,000
Alice is the first extra running game of the year between these two ball clubs and this is only the second time this season that the 45s have gone into extra runnings here at home.
1486
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:08,000
All the other extra running games have been on the road.
1487
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:17,000
Forty fives have won three and lost five in the extra running column so far this season.
1488
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:25,000
the extra runnings was an eight to seven 10 inning victory over the St. Louis Cardinals back on August the 19th.
1489
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,000
Ron Farley will lead off.
1490
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:32,000
He'll be followed by Nate Oliver and then Bart Shirley here in the top of the 10th inning and no score.
1491
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,000
Here's the first baseman number six.
1492
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:40,000
Well the Cubs defeated the Giants twice today and that just about could do it for San Francisco.
1493
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:47,000
Four to two second game Cal Coons won it and Bob Bowlin was the losing pitcher for the Giants.
1494
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Farley takes it high and outside ball on the only home run was a grand slam by Ernie Banks.
1495
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,000
So a double loss by the Giants.
1496
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:57,000
Four to one four to two for the Cubs.
1497
01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:59,000
Nate Oliver will be up next.
1498
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:02,000
Farley has struck out safe on an error and fouled out.
1499
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,000
He is officially 0 for 3 today.
1500
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:08,000
Here's the pitch on the way now swinging a foul ball a hopper back toward the screen.
1501
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:13,000
Here's the ball one strike.
1502
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:20,000
Bob Bruce and Don Drysdale now in extra innings and we have a double shutout going.
1503
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:25,000
Ron Farley first baseman left handed better.
1504
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:31,000
Bruce has given up three hits struck out six and has walked one today.
1505
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:35,000
Here's the one and one pitch to Farley swinging a miss strike two.
1506
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:41,000
Two strike countdown Milwaukee beat Philadelphia 14 to 8.
1507
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:50,000
Reds beat the Giants beat the Mets 4 to 1 in the first game and they're leading New York 3 to 1 at the end of five in the second game and the Cardinals defeated Pittsburgh 5 to nothing.
1508
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:56,000
Here's the one and two pitch to Farley a little bit low outside Yankees lost to Washington in 11 innings 3 to 2.
1509
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:04,000
Baltimore beat Cleveland 4 to nothing and the White Sox lead Kansas City 5 to 1 at the end of six.
1510
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:11,000
Yanks lead has been trimmed to three games and Cincinnati leads the National League now by a half.
1511
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Ball to strike two. Here's the pitch to Farley swinging the ground ball right side deep back over.
1512
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:24,000
Bond gets it flips to Bruce at first base for the young Ron Farley hops one down the first base side to Walpond.
1513
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:28,000
We'll bring up the second baseman for Los Angeles Nate Oliver.
1514
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:34,000
Oliver has had one hit an infield hit in the second inning one of the three off Bruce sacrificed and flied out.
1515
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:40,000
He is one for two today officially. Oliver that's right.
1516
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:49,000
Down the bullpen for Houston right hander Jim Owens and left hander Hal Woodishick are cranking up now.
1517
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:54,000
And Ron Peranoski is back up throwing again for the Dodgers.
1518
02:01:54,000 --> 02:02:03,000
Alston will have him warming up again on Casey reaches the point here where he may want to use a pinch hitter for Drysdale in the 10th inning.
1519
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:08,000
Bruce takes a lot of time out there in the mound.
1520
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:14,000
One out nobody on base. Here's the wind up in the first pitch to Oliver and as a card and ground ball to short Casco up with it.
1521
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:17,000
Throw the first got him.
1522
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:25,000
Well he really spun that one pretty good. Hard hit ground ball to short and Casco on over to Walpond to a way.
1523
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:29,000
Here's Bart Shirley the Dodger third baseman number 23 over three today.
1524
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:32,000
That's right.
1525
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:35,000
Dodgers nothing called forty five.
1526
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:48,000
the pitch to Shirley swing and a miss fastball and it's one ball and two strikes one to count.
1527
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:56,000
Two outs is fairly and Oliver have both grounded out.
1528
02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:02,000
Bruce checks over his sign again from Jerry Grote.
1529
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:16,000
Here's the wind up in the pitch on the way down as a high high when he was slip pitch evidently slow curveball seemed to slip away from him ball to and strike one to one count.
1530
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:19,000
All to and strike one.
1531
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:31,000
Two outs nobody on top of the 10th and this is nothing and nothing Dodgers in the cold forty five shares the two and one pitch to Shirley fastball outside and it's three and one.
1532
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:38,000
Three ball one strike out.
1533
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:45,000
Oh Bruce gets behind on Shirley now.
1534
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:50,000
Time called and Grote is going out to talk to Bruce.
1535
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:56,000
To surely get on Drysdale is due to bat next.
1536
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:04,000
And now here comes Frank Howard out and Howard evidently is coming on as a pinch batter with a three and one count on Shirley.
1537
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:10,000
Austin is making a pinch hitting change right here.
1538
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:17,000
Bart Shirley is being lifted for a pinch batter with a three and one count.
1539
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:30,000
On Frank on Bart Shirley with two outs and nobody on base.
1540
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:33,000
Howard a right handed batter.
1541
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:38,000
He's hitting two hundred and thirty.
1542
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Sixty nine runs batted in twenty four home runs first put popped up back in the left center field that could drop Casco going out and he got it.
1543
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:56,000
On the first pitch to Howard who came in with a three and one count to bat for Shirley.
1544
02:04:56,000 --> 02:05:06,000
He seemed to be checking his swing on that one and he popped up the left center field and Casco went way out with his back to the infield and all to then to retire the side.
1545
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:19,000
the top of the 10th is over no runs no hits no errors and nobody left on base and the score is still nothing and nothing as the forty fives come in here last to the 10th inning.
1546
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:23,000
Say all you cigarette smokers have you ever tasted fine tobacco at its best.
1547
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:26,000
Well you have if you've ever smoked the lucky strike.
1548
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:32,000
You see every lucky is blended with fine tobacco from one end of that cigarette to the other.
1549
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:37,000
You know what LSM FT stands for lucky strike means fine tobacco.
1550
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:39,000
Well that means great taste.
1551
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:42,000
So why not do this taste fine tobacco at its best.
1552
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Just look for the pack with the big red bullseye smoke a lucky strike.
1553
02:05:50,000 --> 02:06:17,000
Fine tobacco at its best smoke a lucky strike.
1554
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Here's a later score now on Cincinnati New York at the end of six innings in their second game the Reds three Mets one at the end of six and the White Sox did not score in the seventh inning at Kansas City but they still lead the A's five to one.
1555
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:42,000
Jim Gilliam is now playing third replacing Bart Shirley who was lifted for a pinch batter and Walpond will lead off for Houston.
1556
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:50,000
He'll be followed by Bob Aspermati and then Jimmy Webb.
1557
02:06:50,000 --> 02:07:00,000
He has been up three times very few people have had hits out here today we've had only a total of six hits three off gross and three off Drysdale.
1558
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:06,000
All this popped up twice and grounded out.
1559
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:18,000
So Bob the left handed batter facing Drysdale bottom half of the 10th inning all its outside ball on one and nothing.
1560
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:24,000
Aspermati moves into the on deck circle off the left side.
1561
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:29,000
One ball no strikes no score bottom of the 10th.
1562
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:37,000
Drysdale gets a sign again now from John Roseboro. Here's the pitch on the way and bond it's a foul up in the seats off the left side.
1563
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:44,000
And it's one ball and one strike one one.
1564
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:52,000
Nobody out nobody on base.
1565
02:07:52,000 --> 02:08:01,000
Left handed batter bond one one count. Here's the wind up in the pitch now and bond takes a high outside pitch.
1566
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:09,000
This is not the first time that Houston has gone through nine innings of nothing and nothing game.
1567
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:13,000
You may recall back in 1962.
1568
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:18,000
Here's the two one pitch ball and outside three and one on bond back in 1962.
1569
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:29,000
Houston and Cincinnati went 12 innings of scoreless baseball here at Cole Stadium before Johnny Klipstein hit a home run on the 13th to win it one to nothing.
1570
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:34,000
It was Farrell who pitched 12 consecutive innings a shutout ball at night against the Reds.
1571
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:37,000
All four and bond is on to open the 10.
1572
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:43,000
That's only the second base on balls given up by Drysdale.
1573
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:50,000
Number 14. First block was to Jimmy Wynn in the fifth.
1574
02:08:50,000 --> 02:09:00,000
So for the second inning in a row now the cold 45 have their lead man on and here's Bob Aspromonti.

There's a high pop in the infield.
1635
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:53,000
And the first baseman Ron Fairley right in front of the bag has got it and there's one down.
1636
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:55,000
So Aspromonti has popped to first.

02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Bond holds the first base of course and here's Jimmy Wynn.
1638
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:04,000
Wynn has been on base once in the fifth inning he drew a base on balls.
1639
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:11,000
And also has struck out officially he has won for two.
1640
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:19,000
Fairly out talking to Drysdale now.
1641
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:30,000
Forty fives have had runners in scoring position in the sixth and in the ninth innings.
1642
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:37,000
And now they have Bond on first with one out of the tenth and the batter right handed hitter Jimmy Wynn in Drysdale's first pitch.

02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:40,000
He got him on that one low outside pitch.
1644
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:47,000
And he got Wynn to bite on it as one strike.
1645
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:53,000
Dodgers had runners in scoring position in the fifth inning.
1646
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,000
And in the ninth.
1647
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:00,000
Here's the stretch now pitch on the way foul ball that's off Roseboro's mask off the right side of the plate.
1648
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:04,000
And Wynn gets behind on Drysdale two strikes.
1649
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:09,000
Eddie Casco will be up next.
1650
02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:11,000
0-2 count.
1651
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:18,000
Bond at first one out. Score nothing and nothing.
1652
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:23,000
New baseball now for Drysdale.
1653
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:30,000
Morgan and Bruce singled in the ninth inning and they picked up the second and third hits off Drysdale today.
1654
02:16:30,000 --> 02:16:36,000
And there have been three hits off Bob Bruce.
1655
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:40,000
Here's the stretch now look over to first base.
1656
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:45,000
And there's a strike on the outside corner of the belt. Wynn has been called out on strikes.
1657
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:52,000
That's the second time in a row that Wynn has struck out. He's struck out looking also in the eighth inning.
1658
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:57,000
And that's the sixth strike out for Drysdale and each pitcher now has struck out six.
1659
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:02,000
Here's Casco with two outs and Bond on first.
1660
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:09,000
Now Eddie is 0-3. He struck out once. the other two times he's grounded out to shortstop.
1661
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:13,000
Last of the tenth. Nothing and nothing.
1662
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:19,000
Drysdale now is motioning for Wes Parker his right fielder to come in a bit.
1663
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:26,000
And that's the first pitch for Casco.
1664
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:30,000
Got a win coming in from left center field toward the plate.
1665
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:37,000
Bond edges away from Fairley at first base and the first pitch to Casco is a pop-up back in the shallow center field.
1666
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:42,000
Trudzewski going out for this one. Now the second baseman Nate Oliver makes the play on it and that retires the side.
1667
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:45,000
So Bond who walked to open the inning is stranded on first base.
1668
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:49,000
That's all for Houston 10th inning. No runs, no hits, no errors, one left.
1669
02:17:49,000 --> 02:17:55,000
And we move to the 11th inning now. the score is still Los Angeles nothing and Houston nothing.
1670
02:17:55,000 --> 02:18:22,000
the 7-7 the reporters.
1671
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:31,000
Pearl beer. Pearl's the beer that brings refreshments from the country of 1100 springs.
1672
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:41,000
So let's have a pearl beer. Serve up that pearl beer. Let's have a cold pearl beer.
1673
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:46,000
Famous spring water makes Pearl satisfy you more when you want beer.
1674
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Pearl is better beer because it's brewed with famous spring water from the country of 1100 springs.
1675
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Let's have a cold pearl beer.
1676
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:07,000
Don Drysdale is going to be lifted here and Maury Wells is coming on to bat for him in the 11th inning.
1677
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:17,000
And let's see who's coming in. I think it's Bob Miller who will be on to pitch the bottom half of the 11th inning for Los Angeles.
1678
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:21,000
He has finished his warmups and is coming into the dugout back at first.
1679
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:30,000
So Drysdale is all through for the afternoon and another real fine pitching job by the giant right hander for the Dodgers.
1680
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Here's Wells, switch hitter. He'll be batting left handed against Bruce.
1681
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:45,000
Wells is hitting 273. 34 runs batted in. And two homers. He has 15 doubles and five triples.
1682
02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:51,000
He'll be followed by Dick Truszewski and then West Parker.
1683
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:59,000
First half of the 11th and there's no score. Here's the windup by Bruce and the first pitch to Wells, very high ball one.
1684
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:07,000
Ron Peranoski is still loosening up for the Dodgers down in right field and for Houston now.
1685
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:10,000
And let's see, we're just getting some changes down there so we'll hold up just a moment.
1686
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:13,000
Maury Wells leading off as a pinch batter for Don Drysdale.
1687
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:18,000
Bruce's pitch pop foul, no play, high and up into the seats off the left side.
1688
02:20:18,000 --> 02:20:21,000
And it's one ball and one strike. One-one count.
1689
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:29,000
White Sox did not score in the top of the eighth inning and the A's are batting now, Chicago five and Kansas City one.
1690
02:20:29,000 --> 02:20:33,000
Maury Wells, pinch batting for Drysdale.
1691
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:37,000
Aspermonte is on the grass in front of third.
1692
02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:40,000
Here's the one-one pitch to Wells. Fly ball right field.
1693
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:47,000
Staub coming on hard for it, digging over near foul territory. Dives but he couldn't get it. Foul ball.
1694
02:20:47,000 --> 02:20:51,000
Great try by Rusty. He's sprawled all over the place out there.
1695
02:20:51,000 --> 02:20:58,000
That's the second time in the last two games that Rusty has dived after a foul ball on the right field line.
1696
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:02,000
He just about got that one. He got a glove on it but he couldn't hold it.
1697
02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:05,000
And it's one ball, two strikes.
1698
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:09,000
So Wells is back in there now here in the eleventh inning.
1699
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:19,000
Nobody out, nobody on base. No score.
1700
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:24,000
With two strikes on Wells, Aspermonte is backed up even with third base now.
1701
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:29,000
Curve ball popped up. Foul. Aspermonte coming in for it. Easy play for him. One down.
1702
02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:33,000
Little pop-up on the left side of the play taken by Bob Aspermonte.
1703
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:38,000
So there's one down now and that will bring up the top of the batting order, Dick Truszewski.
1704
02:21:38,000 --> 02:21:47,000
Truszewski has had one of the three hits off Bruce, a first inning single.
1705
02:21:47,000 --> 02:21:52,000
He has won for four. That's right-handed.
1706
02:21:52,000 --> 02:21:59,000
Outfield shades around the left side for him and the first pitch is a little bit outside at the knees for ball one.
1707
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:03,000
One ball, no strikes.
1708
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:09,000
Each club has come up with three hits.
1709
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:12,000
Trusz checks over his sign again now. Here's the wind up in the pitch.
1710
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:17,000
There's a fly ball left center field. Winn comes over for it and he makes the play.
1711
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:20,000
It looked like trouble for just a second.
1712
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:25,000
But taken easily in left center field by Jimmy Winn for the second out.
1713
02:22:25,000 --> 02:22:29,000
Here is Wes Parker.
1714
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:34,000
He'll replace Daryl Griffith in right field. This will be his first trip to the plate.
1715
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:40,000
Parker is left-handed batter.
1716
02:22:40,000 --> 02:22:50,000
Heading 255 and the first pitch is tapped foul up in the seats off a third and a strike one.
1717
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:53,000
Parker is hitting 255.
1718
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:58,000
Nine runs batted in. He has three homers.
1719
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:01,000
Outfield deep and around the right side for Parker with two outs.
1720
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:05,000
And Bruce's pitch, there's a bunt down the third baseline. He's going to beat it out.
1721
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:11,000
No throw by Aspromotti. Base hit. So Parker with Aspromotti playing deep, Bunson beats it out.
1722
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:17,000
So the Dodgers have a man on here in the 11th with two outs. That's the fourth hit off Bruce.
1723
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:20,000
A double by Tommy Davis in the ninth.
1724
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:26,000
And a single by Truszewski in the first and an infield hit by Oliver in the second.
1725
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:33,000
That is the extent of the hit so far off Bruce. And now the Dodgers have one more than Houston, 4-3.
1726
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:37,000
Here's Willie Davis, the center fielder. Runner on first base and two outs.
1727
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:42,000
Davis, Willie Davis has been up four times without a hit and twice he has struck out.
1728
02:23:42,000 --> 02:23:47,000
Parker takes a big lead. Draws the throw over there and he gets back in time.
1729
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:50,000
Pretty close play.
1730
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Parker took a big lead off first base and Bruce shot it over there but not in time.
1731
02:23:55,000 --> 02:24:01,000
No count on Willie Davis.
1732
02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:04,000
Bruce checks the sign out. Davis left handed batter.
1733
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:18,000
Parker's on with a bunt hit to third and Bruce throws it over there again and he gets back in time.
1734
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:21,000
Bruce up in the rubber again. Now two outs.
1735
02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:27,000
Here's the stretch and a glance over to first base and Parker breaks on it. Grote's throw is going to be in time.
1736
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:33,000
They got it. Grote to Kesko and Wes Parker is thrown out trying to steal.
1737
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:36,000
Here are the 11th inning to retire the side.
1738
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:41,000
No runs, one hit. No errors. Nobody left on. We go to the last of the 11th inning.
1739
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:47,000
Still no score in this ballgame. Dodgers nothing, Colt 45s nothing.
1740
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:52,000
Well if you're a cigarette smoker, here's a question for you. Have you tried a Lucky lately?
1741
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:58,000
If not, just remember this. When you taste a Lucky, you taste fine tobacco at its best.
1742
02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:05,000
After all, LSMFT, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco and that means great taste.
1743
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:09,000
It means when you light up a Lucky, you get rich, full, enjoyable flavors.
1744
02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:12,000
So have yourself a reunion with a great cigarette.
1745
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:17,000
Get together with the Red Bulls Eye and taste fine tobacco at its best.
1746
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
1747
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:25,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Smoke a Lucky Strike.
1748
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:29,000
Fine tobacco at its best. the taste that millions like.
1749
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:34,000
Great taste was born the day they made this famous Lucky blend.
1750
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:38,000
And it's a fact each Lucky's packed with fine tobacco end to end.
1751
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:43,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best. Smoke a Lucky Strike.
1752
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:46,000
Smoke a Lucky Strike.
1753
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:57,000
Last half of the 11th inning and Ron Peranoski has been called on to pitch for the Dodgers.
1754
02:25:57,000 --> 02:26:01,000
And before we get underway here in the bottom of the 11th, let's pause for station identification.
1755
02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:04,000
This is the Colt 45s baseball network.
1756
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:08,000
This is KBRC, Radio Houston, 950.
1757
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:13,000
78 degrees in the patio. Right now, 28 minutes after 4 o'clock.
1758
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:20,000
Leading off to the 45s, the catcher number 8, Jerry Grote.
1759
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:28,000
Well, we're going on to the 11th inning now, bottom half.
1760
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:35,000
And Jerry Grote will lead off for the Colt 45s.
1761
02:26:35,000 --> 02:26:41,000
Jerry so far today has been up three times without a hit. He has struck out one.
1762
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:45,000
So Drysdale has taken out after going 10 innings.
1763
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:50,000
And he allowed only three hits, struck out six, and walked two.
1764
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:55,000
And now it's left-hander Ron Peranoski.
1765
02:26:55,000 --> 02:27:00,000
Here's the windup in the pitch now to Grote, and Jerry takes it high for ball one.
1766
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:06,000
This is the 68th game in which Peranoski has appeared. All have been in relief.
1767
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:10,000
In 117 innings, he has allowed 123 hits.
1768
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:15,000
Grote hits a foul back in the screen, one ball, one strike.
1769
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:18,000
Third run average at 315 for Peranoski.
1770
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:26,000
In 117 innings, he has struck out 73 in his walk 45.
1771
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:35,000
Nobody out, nobody on base. No score. Last of the 11th inning.
1772
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Peranoski checks over his sign again now.
1773
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:48,000
Here's the windup in the pitch on the way now. There's a high-pop foul off the right side.
1774
02:27:48,000 --> 02:28:05,000
That'll be up into the seats, and it's one ball and two strikes. One-and-two count.
1775
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:11,000
Here's the one-and-two pitch to Grote again now. Oh, he changed up on him, and he took it around the knees for a call strike.
1776
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:16,000
So Grote has been called out on strikes. That's the second time that Grote has struck out today.
1777
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:22,000
And that is the seventh strikeout by Dodger pitching. First one, of course, by Peranoski.
1778
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:26,000
Well, let's see what's going to happen here now.
1779
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:33,000
Bruce has not come out of the dugout. He is due to bat right now.
1780
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:42,000
There's no one warming up for Houston, but a relief pitcher, of course, would be ready in a hurry if they decide to pinch it here.
1781
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:45,000
Bruce has gone all the way. Bruce is going to bat for himself.
1782
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:51,000
Jim Ewell, I see here through my glasses, is working on Bob's leg here for some reason.
1783
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:55,000
I think that's the delay. So Bruce will come out to bat for himself.
1784
02:28:55,000 --> 02:29:02,000
This is soon as the trainer gets through working on him.
1785
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:08,000
Third base umpire, Doug Harvey, looking down into the Houston dugout back a third.
1786
02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:14,000
We can't see with the sun shining on the screen behind the plate exactly what's going on.
1787
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:22,000
But Ewell is doing something around Bruce's right leg, I believe.
1788
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:27,000
Now Bob's getting up, and he's coming out to hit for himself.
1789
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:32,000
So there's one down here in the bottom of the 11th inning with no score in this game.
1790
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:36,000
There have been about an equal number of threats by each club.
1791
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:46,000
Now the plate umpire, Tony Benson, is walking over that way.
1792
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:51,000
I guess he's just going over to get a drink of water.
1793
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:58,000
Well the game is delayed here for just a moment while Bruce gets sent to come out here.
1794
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:03,000
He's just tying his shoe. I don't know whether they had a new pair of shoes for him or what.
1795
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:07,000
Well quickly here again the Braves beat the Phillies today 14 to 8.
1796
02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:13,000
And Cincinnati is still leading New York in the second game 3 to 1, with the Mets batting in the bottom of the 7th.
1797
02:30:13,000 --> 02:30:18,000
Reds won the first game 4 to 1. St. Louis beat Pittsburgh 5 to nothing.
1798
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:23,000
And the Cubs won a double header from San Francisco 4 to 1 and 4 to 2.
1799
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:28,000
Over in the American League, Washington beat the Yankees in 11 innings 3 to 2.
1800
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:32,000
Baltimore beat Cleveland 4 to nothing.
1801
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:38,000
And in the bottom half of the 9th inning, Chicago 5 and Kansas City 1,
1802
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:41,000
with the A's batting now in the bottom half of the 9th inning.
1803
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:47,000
Detroit beat Boston 3 to nothing, and Minnesota, Los Angeles has not yet started.
1804
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:52,000
Well Bruce is out there now. He has one hit. He's single to open.
1805
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:56,000
the 9th inning is struck out and grounded out.
1806
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:00,000
Here's the pitch on the way and Bruce hits a chop to the shortstop, Dick Truszewski, an easy tap,
1807
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:06,000
and the throw to first base and two men are out. So Bruce has bounced out short to first.
1808
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:11,000
That'll bring up the top of the batting order, Al Spangler. He has one of the three Houston hits today.
1809
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:16,000
He had the first hit of the ball game off Drysdale in the 6th, and it came with two outs.
1810
02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:20,000
Drysdale had retired the first 14 men to face him.
1811
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:30,000
So here's Al now with one for four, a single, facing left-hander Ron Peranoski in the 11th inning, no score.
1812
02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:36,000
Two outs. Lowell, did you catch that announcement on Bruce?
1813
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:45,000
Yes, Bob came up with a blister on his foot, and he was having a little treatment there and perhaps a little bandage.
1814
02:31:45,000 --> 02:31:49,000
So Bruce is grounded out on the first pitch, and now here's Spangler.
1815
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:57,000
Gilliam in close at third. Al takes a fast strike up around the letter, strike one.
1816
02:31:57,000 --> 02:32:04,000
Still a lot of sunshine out here. No score in the 11th inning.
1817
02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:09,000
Here's the windup by Peranoski in the pitch, and Spangler takes strike two, fastball on the outside corner of the belt,
1818
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:12,000
and Spangler gets behind on him two strikes.
1819
02:32:12,000 --> 02:32:30,000
Refreshment from the country of 1100 Springs. So let's have a cold world be.
1820
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:39,000
12th inning starting now here at Coast Edium, and Willie Davis, Tommy Davis, and John Roseborough will be the first three batters to face Bob Bruce.
1821
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:44,000
This becomes our longest game of the year now for the second time.
1822
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:50,000
Back on May the 4th, the Colt 45s battled the San Francisco Giants to 12 innings.
1823
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:56,000
That's our longest game prior to today, and now we're starting the 12th here this afternoon.
1824
02:32:56,000 --> 02:33:01,000
Left-handed batter Willie Davis. Ground ball to second base. Morgan scoots to his left foot.
1825
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:04,000
Easy play to first base to Bond, and there's one down.
1826
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:10,000
So Willie Davis starts the 12th by grounding out second to first, and that will bring up the left fielder, Tommy Davis.
1827
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:15,000
Time has been called in New York. John Edwards, Cincinnati catcher, has injured his hand.
1828
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:21,000
Boy, he's had a tough year today with injuries, and that is not going to help the Reds any.
1829
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:25,000
So Edwards has hurt his hand with a foul ball.
1830
02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:33,000
It did not say in the bulletin whether or not he was removed from the game. He's taken out. He has been taken out.
1831
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:39,000
Here's Tommy Davis now. There's a strike on the outside corner of the knees, strike one.
1832
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:43,000
This is the third injury that John Edwards has suffered this season.
1833
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Heard his throwing arm early in the season, and the last injury also was to one of his fingers on his throwing hand.
1834
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:58,000
Tommy Davis has one of the four hits off Bruce. He doubled in the ninth with two outs, and he has one for four.
1835
02:33:58,000 --> 02:34:04,000
One out and nobody on base. Bruce's next pitch. Line drive. Great catch by Bond. He's spirited.
1836
02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:09,000
Tommy Davis lines to right, and Bond went way up the spirit.
1837
02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:14,000
And you have to be 6'6 to do that. Yeah, they're two down.
1838
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:23,000
That will bring up John Roseborough now as Walt Bond has just spirited Tommy Davis' drive headed down the right side.
1839
02:34:23,000 --> 02:34:30,000
Roseborough is all for four today. Left-handed batter and Bruce's first pitch.
1840
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:33,000
There's a loop in the right center field for a base hit.
1841
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:37,000
Wynn comes up with it now, and Roseborough will hold on.
1842
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:43,000
That's the fifth hit now, or rather the fifth hit off Bruce.
1843
02:34:43,000 --> 02:34:48,000
And it puts the runner on first with two men out.
1844
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:52,000
Here's Ron Fairley. He's all for four today. He's struck out once.
1845
02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:54,000
So the Dodgers with two outs have a man on.
1846
02:34:54,000 --> 02:35:00,000
This is the second inning in a row now that they have picked up a single with two men out.
1847
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:10,000
Twelve inning. John Roseborough has good speed, is on first base.
1848
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:13,000
Bruce takes the stretch now and a glance over to first base. Here's the pitch.
1849
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:18,000
There's a ground ball just fouled outside of first.
1850
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:24,000
One strike. Now Bruce has gone all the way today and Drysdale worked ten innings.
1851
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:27,000
Here's the stretch by Bruce now to look over to first.
1852
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:32,000
Here's the pitch on the way. There's a ball a little bit outside.
1853
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:38,000
And it's one ball and one strike.
1854
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:42,000
Bob Miller is starting to loosen up again for the Dodgers down the right field line.
1855
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:48,000
Foul ball high and up in the seats off the left side.
1856
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:51,000
One ball and two strikes.
1857
02:35:51,000 --> 02:35:54,000
One ball, two strikes on left-handed batter Ron Fairley.
1858
02:35:54,000 --> 02:35:59,000
Twelfth inning. Houston nothing and Los Angeles nothing.
1859
02:35:59,000 --> 02:36:03,000
Bruce checks his runner on first. Roseborough has not been taking too big a lead over there.
1860
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:06,000
There are two men out. Here's the stretch now.
1861
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:11,000
And the pitch into Fairley. Very high and outside. Ball, two strike, two.
1862
02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:15,000
Here's the latest from New York. Still Cincinnati out in front of the Mets.
1863
02:36:15,000 --> 02:36:19,000
Three to one. That game is at the end of seven now.
1864
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:26,000
Gail and Cisco has been taken out and Bill Wakefield is pitching for the Mets in the eighth.
1865
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:29,000
Cincinnati won the first game four to one.
1866
02:36:29,000 --> 02:36:32,000
Ball, two, strike, two. Roseborough on first base, two outs.
1867
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:37,000
Here's the pitch to Fairley again now. Too high. Full count of three, two.
1868
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:44,000
Going to have a runner now at first base for Roseborough.
1869
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:52,000
That must be Willie Crawford. I didn't catch his number but it is Willie Crawford now running at first.
1870
02:36:52,000 --> 02:37:00,000
Crawford was signed as a $100,000 bonus player just a kid 18 years old and joined the club in June.
1871
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:07,000
Quite a few clubs were after him out on the West Coast.
1872
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:11,000
Ball, three and strike, two. Has that big lead off first base.
1873
02:37:11,000 --> 02:37:14,000
Here's the pitch. He breaks on it. Ball, four. He lost him.
1874
02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:17,000
Well, that's the second base on balls given up by Bruce.
1875
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:24,000
All the Dodgers with two outs have runners on first and second and we have a right-handed batter, Nate Oliver, coming up here.
1876
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:27,000
We have Owens and Woodachick in the bullpen.
1877
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:32,000
And let's see what decision Manager Harris will make right here now.
1878
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:37,000
And he's going to leave him in. He's going to go with Bruce.
1879
02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:42,000
Nate Oliver will come in to hit against him now.
1880
02:37:42,000 --> 02:37:46,000
Rose has given up five hits and two bases on balls now.
1881
02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:50,000
Here's Oliver. He had an infield hit off Bruce in the second.
1882
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:57,000
Officially for the day one for three and sacrificed once.
1883
02:37:57,000 --> 02:38:00,000
Willie Crawford on second base.
1884
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:05,000
And Ron Fairley on first with two outs, 12th inning, no score.
1885
02:38:05,000 --> 02:38:09,000
Here is Oliver and the stretch by Bruce. A check on his runner at second base and the pitch.
1886
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:15,000
Ground ball, right side. Morgan over four. Joe's got it. Got him to retire the side.
1887
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:21,000
Oliver on the first pitch, bounces out to second and we go to the bottom of the 12th inning.
1888
02:38:21,000 --> 02:38:27,000
So on the top half for the Dodgers, no runs, one hit, no errors. Two men were left on base.
1889
02:38:27,000 --> 02:38:31,000
And we go now to the last of the 12th and there still is no score in this ballgame.
1890
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:35,000
Dodgers nothing, Colt 45 nothing.
1891
02:38:35,000 --> 02:38:40,000
Taste fine tobacco at its best, smoke a lucky strike.
1892
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:48,000
Fine tobacco at its best, the taste that millions like. Great taste was born the day they made this famous lucky blend.
1893
02:38:48,000 --> 02:38:53,000
And it's a fact each lucky stack with fine tobacco end to end taste.
1894
02:38:53,000 --> 02:38:57,000
Fine tobacco at its best, smoke a lucky strike.
1895
02:38:57,000 --> 02:39:00,000
Smoke a lucky strike.
1896
02:39:00,000 --> 02:39:09,000
Last half of the 12th inning now and Joe Morgan will lead off here for the Colt 45s.
1897
02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:15,000
Rusty Staub will follow and then Walpon. This is still a nothing and nothing game.
1898
02:39:15,000 --> 02:39:20,000
That was the 22nd consecutive scoreless inning of pitching by Bruce.
1899
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:27,000
And Bob is just one away from tying our all-time club record of 23 consecutive innings of shutout ball.
1900
02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:31,000
Fitched by Turk Farrell in 1962.
1901
02:39:35,000 --> 02:39:40,000
Well here's Morgan now to lead off the last of the 12th.
1902
02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:44,000
Ron Peranoski on the mound for the Dodgers. Ground ball right side.
1903
02:39:44,000 --> 02:39:48,000
Fairley off the bag and a beat it out base hit.
1904
02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:53,000
Peranoski didn't cover and that's two in a row that Morgan beat out.
1905
02:39:53,000 --> 02:39:59,000
Fairley didn't know whether to go after that one or not. He started, stopped and then went over to pick it up.
1906
02:39:59,000 --> 02:40:02,000
And by that time it was too late to get Morgan.
1907
02:40:02,000 --> 02:40:08,000
So that is two for five for Morgan and both of his hits he has beaten out just off first base.
1908
02:40:08,000 --> 02:40:12,000
And the pitcher could not get over to cover on either one of them.
1909
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:22,000
Now this is the, let's see, the third inning in our last four that the 45s have put the lead man on first.
1910
02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:27,000
There's the first hit off Peranoski and hit number four for Houston.
1911
02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:36,000
And Rusty Stubb, once to third. Gilliam up with it. Throw to second base. Out at second but no throw to first.
1912
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:43,000
And Morgan now is a little bit hot about Jaco Conlon's call about Trzysiewski being off the bag on that throw at second base.
1913
02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:46,000
He had no chance to get back to first though.
1914
02:40:46,000 --> 02:40:49,000
Rusty butted right into the hands of Gilliam.
1915
02:40:49,000 --> 02:40:55,000
Gilliam couldn't have been more than 20 feet from the plate when he butted that ball.
1916
02:40:55,000 --> 02:40:58,000
And he got it down to Trzysiewski for the force out.
1917
02:40:58,000 --> 02:41:01,000
So now Stubbs at first with one out.
1918
02:41:01,000 --> 02:41:04,000
On the attempted sacrifice and here's Walbon.
1919
02:41:04,000 --> 02:41:09,000
Play went from Jim Gilliam to Dick Trzysiewski for the force on Morgan at second base.
1920
02:41:09,000 --> 02:41:13,000
Rusty stretches his lead a bit off the south ball. Now here's the pitch.
1921
02:41:13,000 --> 02:41:20,000
Walt taps back to Peranoski. He's going to first base. Started to go to second and then elected to go over to Fairleigh.
1922
02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:24,000
As Rusty Nosbin moved up to second and here's Aspermonte.
1923
02:41:24,000 --> 02:41:28,000
No sacrifice on that. That was a full swing by Bond.
1924
02:41:28,000 --> 02:41:31,000
Two outs.
1925
02:41:31,000 --> 02:41:34,000
Well a base hit could do it now.
1926
02:41:34,000 --> 02:41:38,000
As Rusty's on second base with two away.
1927
02:41:38,000 --> 02:41:41,000
Aspro has not had a hit today. He's open four.
1928
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:44,000
Struck out once.
1929
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:47,000
Last of the twelfth inning in a nothing and nothing game.
1930
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:53,000
Oop they're not going to fool around with Aspermonte. They're going to put him on and pitch to win.
1931
02:41:53,000 --> 02:41:59,000
Aspermonte is being given an intentional pass and they'll pitch to Jim Winn.
1932
02:41:59,000 --> 02:42:07,000
This will be the first walk off Peranoski and the third given by Dodger pitching today.
1933
02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:15,000
Foot runners on first and second with two outs. So Aspermonte is intentionally walked.
1934
02:42:15,000 --> 02:42:20,000
That's the seventh time this year that Aspro has been put on.
1935
02:42:20,000 --> 02:42:25,000
Winn is 0 for 3. the last two times up he has been called out on strikes.
1936
02:42:25,000 --> 02:42:30,000
Walked once and flied out. He is 0 for 3 officially.
1937
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:33,000
Well let's see how the strategy works here for the Dodgers now.
1938
02:42:33,000 --> 02:42:38,000
With first base open they have walked Aspermonte with two outs and Staub on second.
1939
02:42:38,000 --> 02:42:41,000
And here's Jimmy Winn a right-handed batter.
1940
02:42:41,000 --> 02:42:44,000
Winn is still blowing in from left center field.
1941
02:42:44,000 --> 02:42:48,000
Peranoski checks over his side now with his catcher Jeff Torborg.
1942
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:51,000
And he gets back up in the rubber again.
1943
02:42:51,000 --> 02:42:54,000
First pitch into Winn. Just missed outside at the knees.
1944
02:42:54,000 --> 02:42:59,000
Ball on. One ball no strikes.
1945
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:01,000
Houston not used. Los Angeles nothing.
1946
02:43:01,000 --> 02:43:04,000
Last of the 12th.
1947
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:08,000
With two outs Rusty Staub at second. Bob Aspermonte at first.
1948
02:43:08,000 --> 02:43:12,000
And a one ball no strike out on Jim Winn.
1949
02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:15,000
Arms down again by Peranoski. Pitch on the way.
1950
02:43:15,000 --> 02:43:19,000
Ground ball. Base hit. Down the left field line. It's over.
1951
02:43:19,000 --> 02:43:22,000
And Houston wins 1-0.
1952
02:43:22,000 --> 02:43:25,000
Jimmy Winn is single number third.
1953
02:43:25,000 --> 02:43:29,000
And the 45s have taken the game 1-0.
1954
02:43:29,000 --> 02:43:32,000
Winn is playing with Rusty Staub scoring from second base.
1955
02:43:32,000 --> 02:43:35,000
Bob Bruce is the first one out to grab Winn.
1956
02:43:35,000 --> 02:43:38,000
He gives him a big hug.
1957
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:43,000
Bruce has just pitched a 12 inning shutout against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
1958
02:43:43,000 --> 02:43:46,000
His second shutout in a row.
1959
02:43:46,000 --> 02:43:50,000
And the 22nd consecutive inning of shutout pitching for Bruce.
1960
02:43:50,000 --> 02:43:57,000
And the 45s as they started the National League and finished here at Cold Stadium with a win.
1961
02:43:57,000 --> 02:44:01,000
They defeated the Cubs 11-2 in the first game they played here.
1962
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:04,000
And they've defeated the Dodgers just this afternoon.
1963
02:44:04,000 --> 02:44:07,000
That ball was hit right over third base by Jimmy Winn.
1964
02:44:07,000 --> 02:44:11,000
And Jimmy Winn's 15th run batted in for this season.
1965
02:44:11,000 --> 02:44:18,000
And it was a big one as Bob Bruce becomes the winningest pitcher in Colt 45 history in a single season.
1966
02:44:18,000 --> 02:44:21,000
As he has chalked up his 16th victory of the year.
1967
02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:26,000
Well here are the totals now for this afternoon's ball game.
1968
02:44:26,000 --> 02:44:30,000
the 45s win by a score of 1-0 in 12 innings.
1969
02:44:30,000 --> 02:44:33,000
For Houston one run on five hits.
1970
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:35,000
And two errors with six men left on.
1971
02:44:35,000 --> 02:44:40,000
