00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Cincinnati Reds faced the Chicago Cubs for a Thursday afternoon game at Wrigley Field on July 28, 1977.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
The Reds were coached by Sparky Anderson and were coming off back-to-back World Series championships in 1975 and 76.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
They entered the game with a 49-48 record.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The Cubs were coached by Herman Franks. Franks had had success as a manager with the Giants in the late 60s,

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
averaging 92 wins in his four years in San Francisco, but never managing to finish higher than second place.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
1977 was Frank's first year in Chicago, and the Cubbies were starting off hot,

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
with a 59-39 record going into this game with the Reds.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This is the local Chicago radio broadcast featuring announcers Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreaux.

10
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Today, Pete Rose will be leading off playing at third base.

11
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Ken Griffey, batting second today, has been flip-flopping Rose and Griffey in this series.

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Griffey in right field, and he'll be followed by veteran Joe Morgan at second base,

13
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
with George Foster in left field, Foster batting clean up.

14
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Johnny Bench doing the catching, hitting fifth.

15
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Cesar Geronimo in center field, batting sixth.

16
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Dave Concepcion at shortstop, batting in the number seven spot,

17
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,000
with Mike Lum replacing the injured Danny Griesen over at first base.

18
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Lum hitting eighth.

19
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Dale Murray coming out of the bullpen, where he has won five, lost two this year.

20
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Tall right-hander whom they obtained from the Montreal Expos.

21
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Tony Perez was involved in that deal.

22
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Murray, in addition to his five victories, has three saves.

23
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
For the Cubs this afternoon, Yvonne DeJesus to lead off at shortstop.

24
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Larry Bittner batting second, and he'll be in left field.

25
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Bill Buckner started one of the first game yesterday, will be at first base today,

26
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
and Buckner hitting third, with Bobby Mercer in right field, Mercer batting clean up.

27
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Jerry Maradas up among the league leaders, he is second today, Parker in hitting in the National League,

28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
starting today, six points behind Parker.

29
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Jerry hitting 333.

30
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
He'll be in center field.

31
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Steve Onoveros at third base, batting sixth, with Manny Grillo at second, Grillo batting seventh.

32
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
George Middewald again doing the catching, and Ray Burris with his last outing,

33
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
dropped behind the league for the year.

34
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He's now nine and ten in the season.

35
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Pause here for station identification.

36
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
We'll be right back.

37
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

38
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,000
This is WGN Radio Chicago.

39
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Ray Burris has now a four-game losing streak, and it's hoped that he can end them here this afternoon.

40
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I'm sure a lot of you fans will remember the last victory that Ray was able to post,

41
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
and that was here at Wrigley Field against the New York Mets back on the 25th of June.

42
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Remember?

43
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
He had gone all the way, and going into the bottom of the ninth inning,

44
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
it looked like he was going to be a loser in it because the Cubs were trailing in the ballgame, four to one.

45
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And miracle of miracles, they wound up with four runs in the inning to win it by a score of five to four.

46
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
That happens to be Ray Burris' last victory.

47
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
He has a kind of a suspended victory going, too, and that also was against the Mets on the day in New York,

48
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
the night in New York, rather, when he pitched in the blackout game,

49
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
carrying a lead in that ballgame into the seventh inning.

50
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Let's hope that when that one is resumed and the Cubs go back into New York at Chase Stadium

51
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
for their final visit into New York this year, that they'll be able to hold on to that lead,

52
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
and Ray will get himself a victory.

53
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
The thing is, when you add up the number of games that the Cubs have played,

54
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
they don't quite total out as to the game number, for example, that this one is.

55
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000
This is their 99th game of the season, and they say, well, how can that be?

56
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Because they won 58 and lost 39, so this should be the 98th game.

57
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Well, that suspended game is still considered in there, and that's how you come up with that difference.

58
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
The records that the guys posted in that one have been entered on their totals for the year, their hits,

59
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
two runs by the end, though there weren't many in that suspended game.

60
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But that's the reason for the discrepancy that you have in the number of games played

61
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
as against the total wins and losses.

62
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Here at home this year, the Cubs have done exceptionally well.

63
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000
They've won 34, lost 17, and of course, most ball clubs will play a whole lot better on their home field,

64
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
and they will when they get on the road. The same is true of the Cincinnati Reds.

65
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
They're 10 games over the 500 mark at their ballpark where we'll be playing on Monday night,

66
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Tuesday night, and Wednesday night. They've won 29 there, lost 19.

67
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
On the road, it's something else. The Reds are just one game over 500.

68
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I'm sorry, they're nine games under 500, 20 and 29, and that's the reason why they're only one game

69
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
over the 500 mark for the year. They've not been able to win with any consistency on the road.

70
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Pete Rose has got the lineup guard for Sparky Anderson out on home plate

71
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
with the Peanuts Lowry of the Chicago Cubs, the third-base coach.

72
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
The umpire behind the plate today will be Andy Olson, a veteran.

73
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Rookie Jerry Crawford will be at first base.

74
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Doug Harvey, veteran at second, and Paul Pryor, who worked behind the plate in the second game yesterday,

75
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
will be at third base this afternoon.

76
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Wray has won victory and won defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds this year.

77
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Burris went all the way to beat Cincinnati here at Wrigley Field earlier in the season.

78
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
That was, I think, back on the 24th of April.

79
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Then when he started against them just about a week or so later over at their ballpark,

80
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
they KO'd him in a hurry. Worked only one inning, and he was wild.

81
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
He walked five, gave up three hits, and was charged with five runs.

82
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
A couple of men that were on base when he left the ballgame scored off the reliever,

83
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
but all of them, of course, were charged against Wray.

84
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So he is one and one for the year against the Cincinnati Reds.

85
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
His earned run average is a high one, and I know that he, of course, would like to get it down.

86
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
And we're hopeful, and all of us, that he's going to be able to come on strong

87
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
in the last part of the 1977 season with the kind of a finish that he had last year.

88
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000
And that, of course, would bode very, very well for the Cubs, who need a strong performance,

89
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
and a consistently strong performance from fellows like Wray and from Bill Bonham

90
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000
to go along with Rick Ruschel, Mike Kruko, to keep the Cubs.

91
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Either in that number one spot or contending for it the rest of the year.

92
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Here they come out of that dugout in the third base side.

93
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Bill Buster, number 22, running out the first base.

94
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
15-gorkman wall behind the play.

95
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Wray Burris, 34 out to the mound.

96
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Number seven, Bobby Mercer out to right field, and they're going to get a standing ovation.

97
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Gary Morales out to center.

98
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Larry Bittner, to left field.

99
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Yvonne DeJesus at short stop.

100
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Yvonne Averas over at third.

101
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Manny Creo has not yet come out of the dugout.

102
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Here he comes, number 19.

103
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
And the folks are giving them a standing ovation at Wrigley Field.

104
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Kind of an overcast day.

105
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
The temperature here on the warm side, 81 degrees.

106
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
The ballpark temperature at game time.

107
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
And the win today is in favor of the hitters, blowing out at 15 miles per hour.

108
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Now, Vance Fathergill at the organ with our national anthem.

109
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Another excellent crowd on hand.

110
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Wray Burris gets sent to face the veteran, Pete Rose.

111
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Let's take time out for this message.

112
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
How do Americans perceive the automobile?

113
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Well, for years it was considered a luxury, but as of late, a convenience.

114
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000
But today people want more of their autos, and to get it, they're turning to high-performance

115
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
gas-saving machines that provide precision handling and sports car excitement.

116
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
They're turning to Chicagoland's newest Fiat Lancia dealer.

117
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Fireside Imports of Schomburg.

118
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Fireside's vast inventory of foreign autos allows you to see, test drive, and compare

119
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
the world's finest performance cars all in one visit.

120
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Fireside's superb collection of exciting Fiats and luxury Lancias,

121
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
combined with a large selection of Mazda's gas-saving great little cars,

122
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
to help make one-stop shopping a reality.

123
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
So if you're looking for an imported car, remember,

124
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Fireside Imports has an auto to fit your needs.

125
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
At a discount price that most little foreign car dealers just can't match.

126
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
If you want more from a car and more from a dealer,

127
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:08,000
visit Fireside Imports on Gulf Road, just west of the Woodfield Shopping Center in Schomburg.

128
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Pete Rose stepping in.

129
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
It was so far in the series, and his batting average now standing at 306

130
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
to wind up in Burris's first pitch.

131
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Fastball that misses just outside.

132
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Ball one to the switch hitting veteran Rose.

133
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Half a dozen homers for him.

134
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
41 runs, batted in.

135
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Wind up in the pitch.

136
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Rose takes.

137
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
It's a strike right at the letter.

138
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
It's a fastball to level the cow at one and one.

139
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Ken Whippy in the on-deck circle to be followed by Joe Morgan.

140
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Burris gets his sign.

141
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
The right-hander is next pitch.

142
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Swung on.

143
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Deep drive.

144
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Right field.

145
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Look out.

146
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Back to the wall.

147
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
It's pressure, and it is gone.

148
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000
A home run just over the 358-foot mark for Pete Rose.

149
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Here he comes.

150
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
He's not frowning.

151
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He's running around the base.

152
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:11,000
The reds with a one-to-nothing lead on the third pitch of the ballgame.

153
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:20,000
That marks the 19th home run given up by Ray Burris.

154
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Line shot.

155
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Ken Whippy stepping in, hitting.323.

156
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Left-hander, five for 12 in a series, and he takes a strike.

157
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Rose had come to town hitting.316.

158
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
He dropped ten points, and he got one of them back in a hurry.

159
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Into the ball.

160
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Ball one.

161
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Strike one to Griffey.

162
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
The reds' pitching has left a lot to be desired this year.

163
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
They continue to hit that long ball with great authority.

164
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Here's a swing and a bouncing ball fouled on the first-base side.

165
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Grabbed by Buckner, just past Coach Russ Nixon.

166
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000
They now have 118 team homers this year.

167
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
They have allowed the opposition 88.

168
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Joe Morgan in the on-deck circle and a count on the batter, Ken Griffey.

169
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Ball one.

170
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Strike two.

171
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Phillies, by the way, will be getting underway out at Los Angeles in about an hour and a half.

172
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Here's a swing and a foul ball out of play.

173
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Good fast ball.

174
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Ball one.

175
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Strike two.

176
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Milwaukee and Boston are playing at Fenway Park this afternoon.

177
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
White Sox and Detroit Tigers are off in the America League.

178
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets are idle in the National League.

179
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Montreal and San Diego are also idle.

180
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Wind up in the one-two pitch.

181
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Griffey takes the fast ball low and inside.

182
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Ball two.

183
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Strike two.

184
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
The Orioles and the Yankees are underway at Yankee Stadium.

185
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Baltimore, a big winner over them last night.

186
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
The Orioles now with a two-game lead over Boston, three over the Yankees.

187
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Two-two delivery.

188
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Griffey swings, deep drive, right field.

189
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Bursher coming over to his right, gets it on the first hop.

190
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Griffey lines a single to right field.

191
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
And the first two Cincinnati Reds have reached.

192
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
A homer by Rose, a single by Griffey.

193
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,000
And it's another shaky start for Ray Byrd.

194
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Joe Morgan, the batter.

195
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Joe won for twelve in the series, hitting 294.

196
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
He got to town Tuesday.

197
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
He was hitting 303.

198
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Now down to 294.

199
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Burst from the stretch to Speedy Griffey.

200
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Pretty good lead.

201
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Here's the pitch, low, into the dirt.

202
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
And, matter of all, keeping an eye on the runner as he scrambles for the ball

203
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:12,000
on the push-base side of the plate, ball one.

204
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Down to one and all.

205
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000
The veteran Morgan, who has fourteen homers, stretched by Ray.

206
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Here's the low kick and a fast ball, swung out of it, kept it down and away.

207
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Ball one, stretch one.

208
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:34,000
In that game today, between the Yankees and the Orioles, Rudy May going for Baltimore,

209
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
going after his twelfth win of the year.

210
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Mike Torres for the Yankees, eight and ten.

211
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Laptoss over to first base, the runner, back safely.

212
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Hines and Paxson for Milwaukee and Boston, respectively, at Fenway Park.

213
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Another throw out of first base and he jumps back in safely.

214
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Ball one, strike one pitch.

215
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Mercer very deep in right field.

216
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
The pitch to Morgan, swung out, slaps the ground ball,

217
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
three on the grass, has it close to burst.

218
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Morgan is all safe at first base.

219
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
And they have runners at first and second.

220
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
And the opener, dome out of it, outfield dirt there that's been sprinkled by Bay

221
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
in front of his uniform, his buddy,

222
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Rio cutting over behind him, well over onto the grass on the right side.

223
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Very, very close play as he whips that throw to burst.

224
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Just a little late coming out of the bag with his foot.

225
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It was very, very close, but the call from Jerry Crawford goes in favor of Morgan

226
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
and the Reds with nobody out, leading one to nothing.

227
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,000
You have runners at first and second at the Major Leagues leading home run hitter

228
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000
and leading run batted in guy, George Foster the batter.

229
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Hitting three-fifteen, Foster with 32 homers and 96 runs batted in.

230
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Right at Morgan with an infield hit.

231
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Burris's first pitch high with a fastball.

232
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:16,000
And Donnie Moore is up and throwing already in the cup bullpen.

233
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Foster's driven in three runs in the series, his five hits, including a homer.

234
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Things like this guy never goes off.

235
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Nobody out, runners at first and second, a long look at Grippy at second to pitch.

236
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Goes after a fastball around the shoulders and fouls it back upstairs out of play.

237
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
It's one-on-one on him.

238
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Donnie benched it beyond Vexer.

239
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Dubs after dropping the first game yesterday, 6-2, came back with five runs in the eighth

240
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
to capture the nightcap, 5-1.

241
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
And of course, they won the opening game of the series on Rick Ruschel's superb shutout,

242
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
three to second.

243
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
One-one delivery coming up to Foster.

244
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Swing out of it, good slider, ball one, strike two.

245
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Closest to Foster in the dash are Egan Homers, Mike Spitt of the Phillies, who now is 27-5,

246
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
fewer than Foster.

247
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:32,000
His 96 runs batted in, 13 more than his nearest pursuer in that category, Steve Garvey of

248
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
the Dodgers.

249
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
A look at second to pitch, swing out of it.

250
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Good delivery, a low to bounce in the inside corner, handcuffed it.

251
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Big strikeout.

252
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Donnie Vetch stepping in.

253
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
That is 2,000 run batted in.

254
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Some cheers and some booze for this guy.

255
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Hitting 270.

256
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
22 Homers and 71 runs batted in.

257
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
The better man catcher, Donnie Vetch Rod Andrew, of course, holds the bat high over the right

258
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
shoulder versus, he's up in front of it, drills it deep but foul.

259
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Thank heaven.

260
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Speedy Griffey at second base.

261
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Leaving Speedy or Morgan on it first.

262
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Ball one delivery to Donnie Vetch.

263
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Burst fired.

264
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Swing and a deep drive left field.

265
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Vetch is going to be over the wall a home run.

266
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000
He got that one up a bit and Vetch really liked it.

267
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Bittner just fluffed in the post with the ball.

268
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Might not go over the wall but tear him back off of it.

269
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:04,000
It cleared it and it is now 4-0 since then.

270
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
20 of home run off of Ray.

271
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Well, he pitched well to Foster and then really grooved on here to Vetch.

272
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
All it does is take one pitch for this lineup but it's gone, especially with that wind blowing out.

273
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
We may have five or six more home runs before this day is over.

274
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Let's hope that the next three or four will be by the Cubs.

275
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Connable stepping in.

276
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Left-handed hitter takes a strike.

277
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000
He's three for ten here at Wrigley Field in this series.

278
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Batting 272.

279
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Saw left-handed.

280
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
0-1 pitch.

281
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Swung out.

282
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Deep drive.

283
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Left field.

284
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Bittner going back.

285
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Back to the warning crack.

286
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
He's there and he grabs it.

287
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
One-handed for out number two.

288
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
There's been an infield single.

289
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
There's been a strike-off but there have been some very hard shots.

290
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Vetch is over with two men on.

291
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:17,000
It's 23rd of the year and he now has 74 runs about it in.

292
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Dave Concepcion has been blank so far here at Wrigley Field, hitting 281.

293
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,000
He's dropped nine points.

294
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
He swings and fouls the first pitch over to the box seats in the first base side.

295
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Strike one.

296
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Davey with a half a dozen homers, driven in 34 runs this year versus fastball sink low.

297
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Ball one.

298
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Strike one.

299
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Great Eli Schulman out this afternoon with Sy Gold and Holly Betteno, both the record company executives.

300
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
At the pitch, a little bit low.

301
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Ball two.

302
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Strike one.

303
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
And they also brought with them Bob Lubliner.

304
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
They barely settle in their seats before they see four runs on the board for the Reds.

305
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
It's a little off that pitch and it's low.

306
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Ball three.

307
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Strike one.

308
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Pete Rose opened it with his seventh homer of the year.

309
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,000
He's dropped for the singles to strike out of posture and then bench lined a solid homer over the left field wall.

310
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Geronimo has lined hard to Bittner.

311
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
And now the count is ball three.

312
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Strike one on Davey Concepcion.

313
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Here's the pitch.

314
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Swung on foul down the right field line.

315
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Out of play.

316
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Ball three.

317
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Strike two.

318
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000
We'll be at Cincinnati tomorrow night, Saturday night, Sunday afternoon.

319
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,000
We'll be at Penn over at Cincinnati for night games Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

320
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Three-two pitch.

321
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Swung on.

322
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Round ball.

323
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Deep in the hole.

324
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Roda Baris in the glass house.

325
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000
No play.

326
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Concepcion is on with an infield single.

327
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Five hits in the inning.

328
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Two of them home runs.

329
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Four runs at Cally.

330
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
And Mike Lom, two for seven.

331
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Coming in for the injured Danny Griesen, who hopes to be back in the lineup when they leave town and start their series tomorrow.

332
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
He's hitting just 167.

333
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Eleven hits for him and clear the homer and eight runs batted in.

334
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
One RBI in the series.

335
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Two out.

336
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Roda at first.

337
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Concepcion just might go.

338
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Not on this pitch.

339
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:50,000
It's a strike at the Luggers.

340
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,000
An off day for four clubs in the National League.

341
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
And for the White Sox and the Tigers in the American League.

342
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Go to first.

343
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Concepcion falls back in the bag safely at first.

344
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Davey with 21 stolen bases this year and has been caught stealing only five times.

345
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Four, nothing.

346
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Top of the first with two up.

347
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Another throw.

348
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Almost got him that time.

349
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:29,000
A good quick tag by Buckner.

350
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000
More continuing to throw in the cup bullpen.

351
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Mercer just in front of the curve in the leacher wall in right field.

352
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Roda's very deep in center.

353
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Same for Bittner in left.

354
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Last ball, high and away, ball one, strike one.

355
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Win today in contrast to what we've had the first three days of this series is blowing out about 15 miles per hour.

356
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And it's a bit overcast.

357
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Just a touch on the sticky side.

358
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Temperature in the low 80s.

359
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
And burst for the 1-1 delivery.

360
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
The kick to pitch.

361
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Fast ball for a strike over the outside corner, ball one, strike two.

362
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Two homers here in this first inning by the Reds.

363
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Pete Rose and Johnny Bench.

364
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Going to first and Concepcion again is to fall in on all fours to avoid being picked off.

365
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Stretch by Burris.

366
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Here's the pitch.

367
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Swung out at a high, deep drive, luck out.

368
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Holy mackerel.

369
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
That's way, way back in the bleachers.

370
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Hanging breaking ball.

371
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,000
And Mike Lund has given the Reds a six to nothing lead.

372
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
His 12th base hit of the year.

373
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:06,000
His second homer.

374
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And there's Bambing for a change.

375
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Well, they're rejoicing over the first base dugout.

376
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Pretty long looking on the opposite side of the field.

377
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,000
The ninth man in the batting order, pitcher Dale Murray, in his first major league start before he throws the first pitch.

378
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
He'll have at least a six to nothing lead.

379
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Right-hander, swings late, fouls that one down the right-field line after looking at a ball.

380
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
One-one delivery.

381
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Going outside.

382
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Ball to strike one.

383
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Murray, because he's worked primarily in short relief, has only been up six times this year.

384
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
There's a strike.

385
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Ball to strike two.

386
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
We're in the first inning, six to nothing, Cincinnati.

387
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Bases are empty.

388
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
They have three home runs so far.

389
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Out of two and two on the hitters.

390
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Wind up by Burris.

391
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Fast ball.

392
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Got a piece of it.

393
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Fouled it out of play.

394
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Into the upper deck on the first base side and it's still two and two on him.

395
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Here's the lineup, two-two pitch.

396
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Swung out of missed and a curve for strike three.

397
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
They have batted well.

398
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
This crowd is bully.

399
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Six run.

400
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Six hits.

401
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Three of those hits are home runs.

402
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
One with the bases empty, one with two men on, and one with one man on.

403
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Bases left empty.

404
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
And after a half inning, the Cubs have a hill to climb.

405
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
The Reds six to Cubs nothing.

406
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
You can count on us for savings.

407
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
You can count on us for qualities.

408
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
You'll find the best of every season at your Eagle Produce Department.

409
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000
This weekend, choose California Long White Potatoes.

410
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Only 99 cents.

411
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
A 10 pound bag at your Eagle Produce Department.

412
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Where everything a supermarket should be, doing everything a store should do.

413
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,000
I've learned a lot since coming up in 1966 and not just about baseball.

414
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
I've learned you don't have to smoke to enjoy tobacco.

415
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I'm Bobby Mercer and you can start enjoying tobacco without smoking too.

416
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Try My Old Happy Days Mint.

417
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
It's smokeless tobacco.

418
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum and you've got full tobacco pleasure.

419
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Whether you're cutting the lawn or cutting down a base runner, mild Happy Days Mint.

420
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Have you tried it yet?

421
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Well, Dale Murray, a big right-hander, strong guy.

422
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Looked Montreal last year.

423
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
In his career in the majors, he has worked only in relief.

424
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:40,000
And this year he has been in 39 ball games for Sparky Anderson and the Reds.

425
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
The turnaround average is not a great one at all.

426
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000
In fact, it's pretty high, 4.71, especially high for relief pitchers.

427
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:53,000
He's won five, lost two, very first major league start.

428
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:00,000
And DeJesus stepping in, takes the fastball for very first right.

429
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
In 65 innings, he's given up 78 base hits and walked 28, struck out 28 also.

430
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Big right-hander delivers to DeJesus, takes the fastball in tight ball, one strike one.

431
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Yvonne, one hit in the series, a triple that triggered the five-run explosion in the eighth inning of yesterday's second game.

432
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Batting now on a 2.51 for the year, one-one pitch, looks at a ball outside, ball two, strike one.

433
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Murray-Wynes, two-one pitch, in very tight at the belt, ball three, strike one.

434
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:50,000
27 years of age, native to the big state of Texas, in the little town of Cuero, Texas.

435
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,000
6-4, about 2.05.

436
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Last, here's the swing and a deep drive, let's see it.

437
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Hey, it's back there. It's off the line for Exavation.

438
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
There's the throw for Pusbury's side, he is in with a double.

439
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
He'll open up the bottom in the first inning on a 3-1 delivery.

440
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Well, Yvonne is up that triple, the trigger of the eighth inning in yesterday's ball, second game.

441
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Opens up the bottom in the first with a two-base hit.

442
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,000
It's 14th double of the year, that is 98th hit of the season.

443
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Murray got behind and had to pay the price.

444
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Larry Fitner, four for 11 in the series, hitting 294 steps in with eight homers and 41 runs right at it.

445
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:53,000
It was 81 appearances that Murray was in last year for Montreal, most in the league.

446
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Short arms that pitch and it's high, ball one.

447
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
81, really, for Perkins.

448
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000
He had only four victories, but he still was an outstanding pitcher.

449
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:11,000
1-1 delivery, sinker outside.

450
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:22,000
He was in 30th of Montreal's 55 victories last year, more than half of it.

451
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
He had a real hot streak at one time.

452
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Ball to tails outside, ball three.

453
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,000
74 through 76.

454
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:46,000
He did not allow a home run in 247 and a third consecutive innings.

455
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
The streak finally ended last August.

456
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Bobby Mercer, there's a ball too high.

457
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Fitner walks, nobody out.

458
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,000
The aces hit second.

459
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Buckner the batter.

460
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Bobby Mercer, then with the Giants, the fellow ended that streak of homeless consecutive innings by Dale Murray.

461
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:24,000
It was only the second home run that he had allowed in pro ball and the other had come in 74 off the bat of Houston's Bob Watson.

462
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:31,000
There can be determined that's the longest homeless string in the post-World War II area.

463
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Buckner, picking a bunt, takes a fastball outside.

464
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Buckner, two for four in yesterday's game, hitting 285.

465
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
He has a couple of homers, 24 runs batted in.

466
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Six to nothing Reds, bottom of the first inning, nobody out.

467
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000
The pitch, fastball, takes for a strike in the inside corner.

468
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Ball one, strike one.

469
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:00,000
The Reds got three homers and six runs in the top of the first inning.

470
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
If you came in late, you didn't miss much, huh?

471
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:12,000
One-one pitch, check the swing, it's outside, ball two, strike one.

472
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Got behind the de-haces on the three-one pitch, ripped the double off the vines in left center field.

473
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Walked Bittner on four pitches.

474
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Now there's a two-one count on Buckner.

475
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:29,000
The look, the pitch, fastball, swim-on, deep drive, right center field, got a chance, gets the way back.

476
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
That's the bow winner, quickly leading to a six-to-three on Buckner's homer.

477
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:09,000
With one swing at the back, Buckner has won the Reds lead in a half.

478
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Same deal, Murray, who had gone so many innings, 247 and a third, without allowing a homer.

479
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:23,000
That streak snapped by Bobby Mercer, who now steps in, takes the fastball for a strike at the knees.

480
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Bobby hitting 272, 14 homers, 60 runs, batted in.

481
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Murray winds, sidearm pitches up, Bobby led up on it, fouls it down the line.

482
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Much pause for station identification.

483
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

484
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:48,000
This is WGN Radio Chicago, one minute after two.

485
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Scorer of this one may wind up like the Fat Man softball pick-to-caverage scorer.

486
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Wind up the 0-2 pitch, high, wasted it, ball, one strike, two.

487
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Six-to-three, nobody out, batted in the first inning, the Reds with the six.

488
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
I'm going to say what's going on here.

489
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:18,000
The fastball swung out, deep drive, left field, left baby, booster, 11L winner and it's six to four.

490
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Out to the field, homer.

491
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Bobby has just now arrived at home plate number 15 for him this year.

492
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Still nobody out.

493
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:04,000
It is now a two-run lead.

494
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Jerry Morales will be the hitter.

495
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Dale Murray may long remember his first start in the major leagues.

496
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Pedro Borbon now going in the Cincinnati bullpen.

497
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Ramos takes the first pitch of strike.

498
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:32,000
As I mentioned earlier, Jerry, the second leading hitter in the National League, 333.

499
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Seven homers, 56 runs batted in, takes that one into the dirt.

500
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Came right over the top and it was into the dirt about three feet in front of the plate.

501
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Pops to the backstop.

502
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:49,000
One strike one.

503
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
The ball too high.

504
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Ball too strike one.

505
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:00,000
So far only five home runs here at Wrigley Field today.

506
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Mercer with an opposite field shot.

507
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Here's a swing and a mess to it too.

508
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Ten runs have been scored.

509
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
All have been combined or come in on homers.

510
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Here's a swing and a high pop-up.

511
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
The first baseman, Mike Lund, shading his eyes down the line.

512
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
He's got it in fair territory.

513
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,000
First out in the bottom of the first.

514
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
And Steve Onabar is stepping in.

515
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
He's hitting 287.

516
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Seven homers for Onabar.

517
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Loading one in the first game yesterday.

518
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Thirty-eight runs batted in.

519
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Onabar has his seven homers, four have been hit here at Wrigley Field.

520
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
One pitch of fastball and he takes a strike.

521
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Four-ball continuing to throw in their bullpen.

522
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Six-four.

523
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
One away, nobody on.

524
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
That up is high.

525
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Ball one strike one.

526
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Manny Creo in the on-back circle.

527
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Wind blowing out.

528
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,000
You can sure tell it.

529
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
One-one pitch is high.

530
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Ball two strike one.

531
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,000
The Cubs now with 65 home runs for the year against 70 by the opposition.

532
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Two-one pitch.

533
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Strike call with a good fastball.

534
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Let her high away.

535
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Ball two strike two.

536
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:46,000
And 40 of the Cubs' 65 homers have come here at home this year.

537
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Twenty-five on the road.

538
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Two-two pitch.

539
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Gets out in front, rips a deep foul down the right field line into the boxes.

540
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Ball two strike two.

541
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
The Cubs now have played 51 games on the road.

542
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
They're at home.

543
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
We're at 29.

544
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Left at home after this one today.

545
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:17,000
There's a foul ball down the left field line.

546
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,000
And 46 have been played on the road.

547
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Now we've got 35 to play away from Ridley Field.

548
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
And here is strike three on Steve Anabaris.

549
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
So they're two gone.

550
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Bases empty for Manny Creo.

551
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Manny hitting 297.

552
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Two put down in the series with a run batted in.

553
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
He has five home runs.

554
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Forty-three runs batted in.

555
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
In case you just joined us, a ball game started pretty much the same.

556
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
A ball game started pretty much on time.

557
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,000
There's a swing, a little number of foul on the third-base side.

558
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
But there's been a lot of action.

559
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
The Reds batted around in the top of the first inning.

560
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
They had three home runs.

561
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Deek Rose, to lead off the ball game.

562
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Johnny Bench with two men on.

563
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Mike Plum with a man on.

564
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,000
And the Cubs, after a double at a walks off, Billy Buckner shaved that lead in half with his third home of the year.

565
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Bobby Mercer followed that one with an opposite field home run.

566
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Now they're two gone, and that pitch is high.

567
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Ball one, strike one to Manny Creo.

568
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000
And Dale Murray's first major league start.

569
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Bottom of the first with two away, one-one pitch.

570
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Very high.

571
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Ball two, strike one.

572
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Thickfella tucks the glove under his arm, revs up the ball, touches the rise and back for a moment or two, drops it.

573
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Lyons back up on the hill to get his sign.

574
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Creo, well away from the plate, end up in the batter's box, two-one delivery.

575
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Swung on, bouncing ball to Concepcion on the shortstop on the second half.

576
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,000
And the Cubs are retired in the first inning.

577
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
But four runs on three base hits, two of them homers.

578
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Nobody left on, at the end of the one, a shmay beat, quite a day before it's all over.

579
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Sensei, six of the Cubs' four.

580
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:22,000
If homeowners waited for inflation to turn around before they repaired or improved their homes,

581
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,000
the old neighborhood might be a little more run down than you'd expect.

582
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
So whether you're adding a room, building a garage, or putting in a new sidewalk,

596
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Also an office in McHenry.

597
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:29,000
The five home runs at Friendly Field in this one inning,

598
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
it's not a new Major League record.

599
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:40,000
It is the 13th time that it has been done in the Major League.

600
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Last time in the National League, August of 1970.

601
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Pirates hit three and the Atlantibraze two in one inning.

602
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Pete Rose, who started the fireworks with a homer, steps in, swings,

603
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:02,000
fouls a fastball out of play, both strike one-ton.

604
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Welcome here today to Herb Lofman, advertising agency executive.

605
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Bobby Kaufman, Roberta Kaufman, there's a swing, ground ball to Manny Creel.

606
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
He's got it.

607
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Pete Rose, out, looking up the second inning.

608
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Ken Griffey will be the hitter.

609
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
He's singled into right field, got the second, a Morgan's infield hit.

610
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:42,000
After a posture struck out, Johnny Vance, one of his 23rd homer of the year.

611
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Let's see if Burr can hold him and check for a while.

612
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Base is empty.

613
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
First pitch, Griffey swings, a drive in the right field.

614
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Burr, coming on, he's got it.

615
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Shoulder high, catch on the line drive, and he hit a bullet.

616
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Two guard.

617
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Morgan with an infield single.

618
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Now the run scored, steps in.

619
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Let me note here that this Mr. John Conarkey, Conarkey,

620
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,000
who must be the proudest father at the ballgame today, his birthday,

621
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:20,000
and also that of his daughter, Janie, who's 16, and his oldest son, Jack, who's 14,

622
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,000
and got their mother along with her and the sisters.

623
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
1-0 pitch.

624
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Strike called in the outside corner, 1-1.

625
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:37,000
They got the whole family, little Aaron is 5, Edmund is 9, Sheila is 7.

626
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:43,000
She had her birthday yesterday, Sheila did, 2-1 pitch, half a missing.

627
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Two youngest were 4-2.

628
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Had to leave at home.

629
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:59,000
There's a strike, fastball, right at the letters, 2-2.

630
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Two-two delivery.

631
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Gets under the fastball, Morgan fouls it back.

632
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Conarkey tells us through all those children, got a little smarts.

633
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:22,000
They'll use the Cubs' new phone number for tickets and charge it to Dad's Visa card.

634
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,000
There's the ball, ball three, strike two.

635
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Celebrate their birthday.

636
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Burruss's 3-2 pitch.

637
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Morgan swings, a drive into center field, Morales is there, he's got it.

638
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000
What a contrast.

639
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
First inning, they bat around, score six runs.

640
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,000
And then setting a ground out, a hard liner off the bat at Rippey.

641
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,000
And a drive to Morales in center field so they go down in order.

642
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:58,000
And the Cubs, who got four runs on a pair of homers in the bottom of the first inning,

643
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:09,000
will have Minterwall burst in the top of the batting order up, Sensi leading 6-4.

644
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,000
When you brew a beer once, you've got a good beer.

645
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,000
But when you brew a beer twice, you've got a great light beer.

646
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:25,000
A great light beer called Old Style from God's country.

647
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Heilman's Old Style is brewed in a traditional old world way called poisoning.

648
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Poisoning is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.

649
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Most expensive because it takes more time.

650
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:49,000
But Heilman has been brewing beer this way since we first opened our doors back in 1853.

651
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Poisoning is what makes Old Style the great light beer it is today.

652
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Taste the difference poisoning makes.

653
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Try Old Style.

654
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Pure brewed in God's country.

655
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:23,000
G. Heilman Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

656
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Just giving a probable pitching assignment tomorrow night at Houston.

657
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Their net worth their time tomorrow, 7.30. And 15 minutes prior to that,

658
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Lou and I will be on the talk a little baseball with you tomorrow evening.

659
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Rick Ruschel and Joe Neekrow are the probable pitchers at the Astrodome tomorrow night.

660
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,000
George Minterwall stepping in against Dale Murray.

661
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,000
George hitting 250. Picks the first pitch outside ball one.

662
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Yes, a half a dozen homers driven in 29 runs for the year, one in the series.

663
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,000
They're going to correct it and move Bonham in there where we thought he should be.

664
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000
And Ruschel will go Saturday.

665
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Bonham tomorrow night.

666
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:26,000
One-one pitch. Sexy swing at a fastball. In too close.

667
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Ball two, strike one on George Minterwall leading off the bottom of the second.

668
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,000
There's a sinker low, three and one.

669
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Thurman Munson of the Aggies got his 14th homer of the year in the bottom of the third inning.

670
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,000
That's the one hundredth of his career.

671
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And the Yankees now are leading the Orioles, three to one in the bottom of the third.

672
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Milwaukee bust and no score, bottom of the second.

673
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,000
And at about 45 minutes the Phillies and the Dodgers will be getting underway.

674
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:11,000
There's a swing, deep ride. That one's gone. Way, way back to the very wall.

675
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Over the wall, out of the ballpark.

676
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Six to five, victory.

677
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Let's try to bury the day low and we have a home run for us.

678
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Never mind a hit and run, just the home run.

679
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Dale Murray.

680
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Played one in and Burris way over the left center field of bleachers, over the wall out on the three.

681
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Burris takes the ball.

682
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Chucks he's swing the ball at his back, skip foul into the seats in the first base side.

683
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Big George, his seventh homer of the year.

684
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Fastball swung on, fouled it right near the plate and he wound up staggering in front of home plate for the cut he took.

685
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Ball one, strike two.

686
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Wildland.

687
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
And we're only in the bottom of the second inning.

688
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,000
With the bases empty and nobody out.

689
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Bourbon again throwing in the Cincinnati bullpen.

690
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Windup, Murray's next pitch swung on.

691
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,000
There's a fly ball dropping out into the left field area and it's in for a base hit.

692
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Burris going to try for two. He is in with a double.

693
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:01,000
That's the tying run at second base with nobody out.

694
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Burris' second double of the year out of eight base hits.

695
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Dumped one in a shallow left field.

696
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Of course with this wind blowing out, hotfielders are deep for just about everybody.

697
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Sparky Anderson, the silver-hired skipper, just now crosses the first base line, make sure he doesn't touch it.

698
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,000
And he's going to bring in Pedro Bourbon right now.

699
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,000
The Reds with six runs, six hits.

700
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,000
The Cubs, five runs, five hits.

701
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,000
And the tying run in scoring position with nobody out in the bottom of the second inning.

702
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Let's take time out for this message.

703
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Some people only sell paint. True Value Hardware stores make it.

704
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,000
And who knows more about paint than the manufacturer.

705
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:57,000
True Test Paint from True Value Hardware stores has become one of the nation's best known, fastest growing brands.

706
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,000
True Test Paint like weather-all acrylic latex house paint.

707
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:07,000
It applies like a latex, wears like an oil base, and protects your home from all kinds of weather.

708
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:12,000
And True Test Easy Care latex flat enamel with a hard enamel finish.

709
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Most stains just wash away, so you won't have to repaint as often.

710
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Yet it still has the soft look that complements any room in your home.

711
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,000
And Easy Care has earned the good housekeeping seal.

712
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Easy Care and weather-all are among the many True Test paints made in True Value Hardware stores' own factories.

713
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:36,000
And they are among the most efficient and modern paint factories in the paint industry.

714
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,000
So when you want quality and real paint know-how, go to the paint maker.

715
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:46,000
You're participating in True Value Hardware store because True Value is more than just a name.

716
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:54,000
It's their way of doing business.

717
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Bob Bowen getting in his warm-up toss.

718
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:03,000
A little while ago, Dick Dozer, I believe it was Dick Dozer, the Tribune, making the announcement that the five home runs

719
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:10,000
and the first inning by these two ball clubs tied a Major League record for homers in one inning.

720
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Western Union now reports over here from Regley Field that those home runs are the most hit in one inning required in the National League.

721
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Well, they'll get it straightened out.

722
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Well, that's just National League now.

723
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,000
He said Major League.

724
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,000
No, he also said the National League.

725
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,000
He gave a record for that.

726
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Yeah, National League Pittsburgh, three, Atlanta, two, and August 1st, 1970.

727
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Go back to the books for that one.

728
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:53,000
Well, my eyes are too red to read any books today.

729
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Maybe they'll hit even more before it's over with.

730
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Like there comes five in an inning, since there may be only two with the bases empty.

731
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Yvonne DeJesus against Bourbon.

732
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Makes him hit the ball one strike one count on him.

733
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Pedro, five and four for the year with seven saves.

734
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Kex delivers.

735
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Breaking ball low.

736
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Ball two, strike one.

737
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000
He wouldn't chase that curve ball low.

738
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,000
That's the pitcher scuttling him into a lot of trouble lately.

739
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,000
He opened up the first inning with a double off the wall in left field.

740
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Slaps a fly ball down the right field line, the wind pushing it, pushing it,

741
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
and it drops still out of the reach of the right fielder, Griffey.

742
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:42,000
The last couple of days, the wind blowing in would have pushed that ball well back into the boxes.

743
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:51,000
This time it kept it from going in there, but it was still foul out of play.

744
00:55:51,000 --> 00:56:01,000
And he's still searching the record books.

745
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Two-two pitch.

746
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Slaps the ground ball to the first baseman.

747
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,000
It will advance first to third.

748
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,000
He's got the ball.

749
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Saved the first base.

750
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Mike Brown had a very easy play on a little easy ground ball that Geraint Meary could have handled.

751
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000
They just plain dropped it.

752
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,000
He can't believe it himself.

753
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Looks at the glove as though it bequeathed.

754
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Had it right in the pocket.

755
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Started up the line.

756
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Whoops, putted it out.

757
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Went over into foul territory.

758
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
The pitcher wasn't over to take the throw.

759
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:43,000
He tried to win the race to the bag himself, just a fraction of a second too late.

760
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,000
More ball.

761
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Bittner looks out of the scoreboard and now his runners at first and third with nobody out.

762
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Six to five, Cincy and Bittner stepping in.

763
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Here's the pitch.

764
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Low ball but.

765
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:09,000
And there, running to Jesus' reach.

766
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,000
That's the pitch.

767
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Swung out, base hit, center field.

768
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Burton's got a score.

769
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,000
The tying run to Jesus will stop at second.

770
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
It's six to six in the bottom of the second inning.

771
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Bittner with his 40-second run batted into the air.

772
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Lines wanted to center field.

773
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Bring out the pocket calculators.

774
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:47,000
We may need it before the afternoon is over.

775
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Runners at first and second for Bill Buckner, who in this situation in the first inning,

776
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
brought up his third homer of the year.

777
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:06,000
The pitch he'll take gets a strike.

778
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,000
So Murray at his first major league start will not get a win.

779
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,000
The game is tied.

780
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And more ball.

781
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Here's the swing and a deep drive to the right fielder, Ken Grapey.

782
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,000
He'll get under to Asus tagging.

783
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,000
He's going to third.

784
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000
And the fill cut off by Concepcion under the back.

785
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Runners at first and third, one away.

786
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,000
And Murray cannot get a win, even though he had a six to nothing lead before he threw

787
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:43,000
the first pitch of the afternoon on behalf of the Cincinnati Reds.

788
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:51,000
And the crowd and the beauty still coming into the ballpark.

789
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Bobby Mercer got his 15th homer of the year following Buckner's three-run shot in the

790
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,000
first inning.

791
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
And he steps in.

792
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Go-ahead run to Asus at third.

793
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Bittner over at first base with one away.

794
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,000
Barbone's first pitch, breaking ball for a strike.

795
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000
The Asus scampers back to third.

796
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:24,000
As Johnny Bench had cocked the arm, Buckner was going to fire one down at third base.

797
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,000
There's a light-up swing on.

798
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Ground ball to Morgan.

799
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Waits, gets it, throws to second.

800
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Relay.

801
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,000
No relay.

802
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Bittner went flying in to break up any thoughts that Dave Concepcion might have had about

803
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,000
attempting a relay on a slowly hit ground ball to Morgan.

804
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,000
The Cubs have taken the lead.

805
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:52,000
But Bobby Mercer with his 60-second run by the end of the year, he's on at first base

806
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,000
on a field of choice.

807
00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:07,000
That run charged against Barbone and Jerry Morales stepped in with two-guard.

808
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Popped up to Mike Lom, the first baseman in the first inning for the first half.

809
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:23,000
After a double, a walk, a free run homer by Buckner and a solo shot by Bobby Mercer.

810
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,000
It's a strike on the inside corner.

811
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Park Ridge, Park District.

812
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Out here congratulating the Cubs today.

813
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:39,000
They've got 250 boys and girls from their fine program in Park Ridge.

814
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
I never expected to see this, I know.

815
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:50,000
Boy, what fun it is, particularly for kids, there's a swing and a foul back out of play

816
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:55,000
when those baseballs start flying out of the ballpark, particularly those off the bats

817
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,000
of the Cubs.

818
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,000
They've got to love it.

819
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:05,000
They remember each one of them.

820
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Barbone out in front of Morales.

821
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Next pitch, takes.

822
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Yes, misses.

823
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,000
Little high, ball too selective.

824
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,000
Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau here with Dale, all Richard Engineer and Jack Menevich, our producer.

825
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Don't go away.

826
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,000
Seven to six Cubs.

827
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Bottom of the second, each team with a half and a zin hits the swing on foul sharply back to the backstop,

828
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:37,000
and it's two and two.

829
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Group of 51 from the Glenview Naval Air Station here today.

830
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Sidearm fastball swung on and missed for strike three.

831
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Barbone's first strike out is coming on here in the second in relief,

832
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:03,000
but the Cubs with three runs in the second inning, one Cincinnati error,

833
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:10,000
three base hits, putting Mineral, seventh home of the year.

834
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,000
One man left in the bases.

835
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Well, we've got two full innings in already.

836
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,000
So far, the Cubs seven runs, six hits.

837
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,000
The Reds six runs, six hits.

838
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Well, friends, now you can water your lawn without watering your house, your driveway, and your guests.

839
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Just go to your two-by-a-hardware store, get a multi-pattern lawn sprinkler.

840
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,000
That's designed to keep the water on your lawn and not on your house.

841
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Or your friends, like a Nelson Poppy three-arm sprinkler.

842
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,000
It whirls water in a square so you can water right up to the edge of your yard

843
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
without sprinkling the sidewalk or the house.

844
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Two-by-a-hardware stores also have the Nelson Beta impulse sprinkler.

845
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,000
It has more sprinkling patterns than the standard revolving models,

846
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:58,000
so it gets those hard-to-reach spots without wasting water on the house.

847
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Now you can water your lawn, too, without watering your house and guests.

848
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Get Nelson's multi-pattern lawn sprinkler at participating two-by-a-hardware stores.

849
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Two-by-a-hardware is more than just a name. It's a way of doing business that's each two-by-you.

850
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Nothing like a little fun and excitement at the ball yard.

851
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,000
We've had it up already.

852
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Alas, a lot of fans the whole day.

853
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,000
It's a long way to go on this one.

854
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:49,000
That's wide, and here's Lou Boudreau.

855
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Seven to six Cubs, and we're just starting the third inning.

856
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,000
LeBouin, the hitter.

857
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Burris's first pitch.

858
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:06,000
LeBouin swings and lines a base hit over the leaping trio's head in the right center.

859
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:12,000
The only thing I can say about today's game, I'm very happy that we have last bats.

860
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
That's going to be very important.

861
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:21,000
And for the office pools with 13 and 15 runs in your pocket, hold on.

862
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,000
One never knows.

863
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Today is a day for the bullpen.

864
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:40,000
Foster singles to right center, and now here's Bench.

865
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Bench hit a home run, a line drive into the catwalk in left field.

866
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Foster on first.

867
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Burris into the stretch. Here's the pitch.

868
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Outside, ball one.

869
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Let's pause five seconds for station identification.

870
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

871
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,000
WGN Radio Chicago. It's 82 at midway, 81 in the lakefront.

872
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Bench takes a strike, a sidearm curveball over the outside corner.

873
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,000
One and one to count.

874
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Donnie Moore starts loosening up to the Cubs bullpen.

875
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,000
Here's a toss to first base.

876
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Foster hadn't taken his lead yet when Burris threw over to Buckner.

877
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Now we're set to pitch to Bench.

878
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:42,000
High curveball taken by Donnie, and it's two and one.

879
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Six home runs have been hit in this ballgame thus far.

880
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:52,000
Two and one pitch, outside, ball three.

881
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Three and one to Bench.

882
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Geronimo, due up next.

883
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Foster opened up the inning, getting the seventh Cincinnati in off Burris.

884
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Here's a three and one pitch to Johnny Bench.

885
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Swing and a miss. Three and two.

886
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Nobody out, third inning.

887
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,000
Burris taking a little time now.

888
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:40,000
On the mound, tosses to first base, and Foster once again had one foot on the bag.

889
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:44,000
The pitch, outside, ball four.

890
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,000
That moves Foster to second base.

891
01:06:47,000 --> 01:07:04,000
That is the first walk by Burris, and Herman Franks is coming out of the dugout.

892
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,000
Herman Franks motions to Donnie Moore.

893
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:14,000
So while Donnie Moore is coming in to loosen up, let's pause for this message.

894
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Lawns come in many shapes and sizes, so do lawn chief mowers.

895
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:23,000
From true value hardware stores, they offer a complete line of gas and electric powered mowers

896
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:28,000
and heavy duty lawn tractors in sizes for every type of lawn,

897
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,000
from a small city lot to a sprawling country estate.

898
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,000
For average sized lawns, they offer rotary mowers and self propelled models

899
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:41,000
with 18 to 22 inch cutting widths, plus a high wheel mower for rough bumpy areas,

900
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,000
and a rear bagger model that mows easily in narrow places.

901
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:50,000
To cut big lawns down to size, you'll find lawn chief riding mowers and heavy duty tractors

902
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:56,000
with 25 to 36 inch cutting widths, forward and reverse speeds, and many other features.

903
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:01,000
True value hardware stores own their lawn chief mower factory,

904
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:05,000
where they design and manufacture their lawn chief mowers to exacting standards

905
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:09,000
with performance, convenience, and user safety in mind.

906
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:13,000
So no matter what size lawn you own, you'll find a matching lawn chief mower,

907
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:18,000
exclusively at participating true value hardware stores.

908
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:23,000
They change their program.

909
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Donnie Moore has a 3.55 burn run average. He's 1-3 lost one. This is his 20th game.

910
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:41,000
He's pitched 38 innings, 37 hits, 20 runs. He's walked 13 while striking out 27.

911
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:48,000
Foster opened up the inning with a single, bench walked, and now Geronimo will face Donnie Moore

912
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:52,000
with the Cubs leading 7-6 who are in the third inning.

913
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,000
This game is an hour old right now.

914
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:01,000
Other action in the American League, the Boston Red Sox came up with six runs

915
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:06,000
in the third inning. They lead Milwaukee 7-0.

916
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:12,000
New York Yankees 5, Baltimore 1 at the end of 4.

917
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Let me talk about that, what I was describing yesterday,

918
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:22,000
when Sparky Anderson came out and was arguing with Paul Pryor on one pitch.

919
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,000
I said I misinterpreted the rules that he has to leave or the pitcher has to leave.

920
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:30,000
That was the rule, but they changed that rule.

921
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Anderson also thought that was the rule and would not call in his pitcher

922
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,000
and then told Pryor that he is protesting the game.

923
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,000
That's when Pryor went to the other two umpires.

924
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:48,000
But then Harvey told Sparky Anderson that that rule had been changed

925
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,000
and then Sparky said yes, I had forgotten about it so the protest was called off.

926
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,000
And Pryor also did call in the pitcher, Sparky Anderson did not.

927
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Here's a swing, a line drive, base hit to right field.

928
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,000
The tying run will score.

929
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:08,000
Mercer cuts off that ball, gets it into the relay man to hold Bench to third base.

930
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,000
So Geronimo didn't wait.

931
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:16,000
The first pitch thrown to him by Moore, he doubles down the right field line.

932
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,000
This game is all tied up 7-7.

933
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Cincinnati has runners on second and third, nobody out in the third inning.

934
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:33,000
And now Concepcion is going to bat.

935
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:41,000
Thirty-five RBIs for Geronimo.

936
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:54,000
And he hits for Cincinnati in the brand new ball game, 7-7.

937
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Donnie Moore gets his side, cup infield, the right side halfway.

938
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
Swing, a line drive, base hit over Trillo's head.

939
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,000
Two more runs will score.

940
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:20,000
It's now 9-7 Cincinnati as Concepcion drives in his 35th and 36th RBI of the season.

941
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,000
One of those runs charged to Moore.

942
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:33,000
So Burris in two complete innings and two men in the third allowed eight runs, seven hits,

943
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,000
struck out two and walked one.

944
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Moore has faced two men.

945
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:43,000
He's allowed a double and a single.

946
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Now here's Lumet bat, hit a two-run home run in the first inning.

947
01:11:51,000 --> 01:12:00,000
Paul Rushell now starts warming up for the Cubs.

948
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Concepcion with a tremendous lead at first base, and Moore sees that and tosses over that to first to hold him close to the bag.

949
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:15,000
Concepcion on, has 21 stolen bases.

950
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,000
The stretch and the pitch.

951
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Swing, a ground ball to Trillo's left, gloves it, turns, fires it to Asus to force Concepcion at second base, one out.

952
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Bourbon will be the hitter.

953
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Bourbon has four for 13.

954
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Lead has changed hands again.

955
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Cincinnati leading six and nothing at the end of one.

956
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Should be six to four, I should say.

957
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:03,000
Cubs taking the lead seven to six at the end of two, and now in the top of the third, Cincinnati has regained the lead.

958
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,000
Bourbon was going to bunt but takes a strike outside.

959
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Corner, strike one.

960
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Antivirus in at third expecting a sacrifice.

961
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:37,000
There's the bunt but it's fouled down the first base line.

962
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:44,000
One out here in the third inning.

963
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Lava on first base.

964
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,000
Moore in relief of Burrus into the stretch.

965
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,000
Here's the pitch, the bunt down the first base line, and he is out.

966
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:04,000
He was hit by the ball so the runner at second will have to return to first base, and Sparky's going to argue.

967
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:15,000
The ball came up and hit the batter so he's out for interference, and Lum has to return to first base.

968
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:25,000
Anderson asking Olson, late umpire, to describe it.

969
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:33,000
He does. Lum returns to first and now with two outs and credit Middlerwall, I guess, with the putout.

970
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,000
He was the closest one to the batter.

971
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,000
And here's Pete Rose.

972
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,000
So a little of everything today at Wrigley Field.

973
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:55,000
The long ball, Texas Lakers airs, and now it interferes.

974
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Two outs, Rose the hitter.

975
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Here's the, they give the out to three.

976
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:08,000
They give the out to Buckner.

977
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Swing and a miss by Rose on the first pitch.

978
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Lumber is ready. Rose to first, Lum gets back safely.

979
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Cincinnati with nine runs, nine hits. Cubs seven runs, six hits.

980
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Swing and a miss on a good fastball outside.

981
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Two strikes on Rose.

982
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Two outs.

983
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:44,000
And ready, nine, Cubs seven.

984
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:56,000
The pitch. Inside fastball ball, one strike two.

985
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Middler and left today, for Allison, center, Merson, right.

986
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,000
Here's the one and two pitch to Rose.

987
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Oh, just below his knee, ball two, strike two.

988
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Rose and home run and a ground out.

989
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:24,000
The pitch out its way, swing and a tap foul.

990
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Two and two to count.

991
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Both starting pitchers in the clubhouse.

992
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Here's the two and two pitch. Instead he throws the first and Lum gets back safely.

993
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Swing and a miss by Lumber. Lumber is ready. He sits.

994
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Throws the first again and Lum gets back safely.

995
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Rose in that crouch at the plate. Here's the pitch.

996
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Low ball three. Three and two on Pete Rose.

997
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Low ball off Pete Rose's bat yesterday.

998
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
There goes the runner. Here's the swing.

999
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,000
A base hit through the middle of the diamond in the center field.

1000
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:33,000
And Lum will go to third as Morales gets that ball in quickly.

1001
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,000
As I was mentioning, Rose fouled the ball down the left field line yesterday

1002
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:44,000
and it hit a youngster in the cheek, right adjacent to the nose.

1003
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:56,000
The youngster had a bloody nose and a severe painfully swollen cheek, loosened teeth.

1004
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:01,000
And today Pete Rose signed the baseball for that youngster in the name of,

1005
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:05,000
I believe, Paul Franks in Skokie, Illinois.

1006
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:13,000
And I have it in my possession and we'll get it over to young Franks as soon as possible.

1007
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Rose fell very badly about it, but could do nothing about it, of course.

1008
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Swing, a line drive, base hit to center field by Griffey.

1009
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Boy, let me tell you, those base hits look like they're coming out of cannons at the plate.

1010
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Griffey drives in a run. Lum scores the fourth one of the inning.

1011
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:46,000
It's now 10 to 7 in favor of Cincinnati, and it doesn't look like rain.

1012
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Rose stops at second.

1013
01:18:54,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Buckeye, in an amount, talking to Moore.

1014
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Rose is on second. Griffey is on first.

1015
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:09,000
The Reds have batted a round here in the third inning.

1016
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:19,000
They have scored four runs on five hits in the inning.

1017
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:22,000
Morgan, the hitter, he has one for two.

1018
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:26,000
The pitch, swing, a line drive into the bullpen.

1019
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Oh, they scattered down there in that bullpen. Strike one.

1020
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:47,000
Everyone in the Cincinnati lineup except Bourbon has at least one base hit.

1021
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Low curve ball, one and one to count.

1022
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:59,000
10 to 7, Cincinnati.

1023
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Moore in relief, into the stretch.

1024
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:07,000
Here's the pitch to Morgan. Passed Paul Slinger, ground ball, it's foul.

1025
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Down the first base line. Got past Buckner, but just foul.

1026
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:23,000
The line drive over that bag, such as happened last night at Kamiski Park,

1027
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:28,000
is where the ball is unless it's touched by the infielder.

1028
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:33,000
Last night Rodriguez crossed the foul line to touch a line drive,

1029
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,000
and the ball rebounded into third territory, but it was a foul ball.

1030
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Here's a pop-up over Trio's head.

1031
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:44,000
Behind second, he's under it, backs up, he has it.

1032
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:54,000
But the Reds send nine men to the plate, scoring four times.

1033
01:20:54,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Five hits. Two men left on bases.

1034
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:10,000
So at the end of two and a half minutes of play, at Cincinnati, 10, Cubs, 7.

1035
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,000
Things can be beautiful, and beautiful furniture is to be had,

1036
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,000
and you've got the money in the bank.

1037
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,000
But even if the furniture is there when the cash isn't,

1038
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,000
there's still an easy way to furnish your home or apartment.

1039
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Just call friendly Bob Adams of General Finance Corporation at Andover 32020.

1041
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,000
especially these days.

1042
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,000

01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,000

And if you're a woman, remember, friendly Bob believes that individual loans for individuals

1046
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,000

01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:53,000
So enjoy beautiful new furniture in your home.

1048
01:21:53,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Whatever your money problem, call friendly Bob Adams to borrow up to $10,000 at Andover 32020.

1049
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
That's friendly Bob Adams of General Finance at Andover 32020.

1050
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:11,000
There are over 65 offices in the Chicagoland area.

1051
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:17,000
General Finance also has an office in Munderland.

1052
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Senator, we're at the Chicago area.

1053
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:31,000
They just made an announcement in the press box that that hit by Pete Rose was his 2,884th hit.

1054
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:37,000
And he's 20th now on the all-career list of base hits.

1055
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Zach Wheat.

1056
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:45,000
He's supplanted Zach Wheat, 20th.

1057
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:53,000
And he leads career base hits for switch hitters.

1058
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Antavarus fouls off the first pitch, strike one.

1059
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Cincinnati 10 comes 7.

1060
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,000
Here's a swing and a pop-up down the left field line.

1061
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,000
Rose after it.

1062
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:12,000
The ball is carrying out of play as it hits the first, in the first roll.

1063
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Pete grabs that ball, hands it back, tosses it back into the stand.

1064
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:27,000
We have 17 runs in this ball game by both clubs.

1065
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:28,000
17 hits.

1066
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:32,000
11 by Cincinnati, 6 hits by the Cubs.

1067
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Here's a swing and a miss.

1068
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Antavarus couldn't hold back.

1069
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:47,000
He strikes out.

1070
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:58,000
Joe, who grounded out the first time, is back.

1071
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,000
First pitch.

1072
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:10,000
Outside, ball one.

1073
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,000
Here's a ball outside and low.

1074
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:19,000
Instead of that ball hitting low bone, it was explained by a play by Umparosa that number one,

1075
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:29,000
he crossed over the plate to Bunnett, and number two, he was running inside the baseline.

1076
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,000
So the catcher gets the put out.

1077
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Ball two, strike one.

1078
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,000
It's a trio.

1079
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:53,000
One pitch, inside, ball three, strike one.

1080
01:24:53,000 --> 01:25:00,000
Three and one pitch on its way, inside, ball four.

1081
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:13,000
And Middowall, who hit a tremendous home run, his first time at bat.

1082
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Trio on first.

1083
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,000
Middowall steps in the batter's box.

1084
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Paul Ruschel is ready.

1085
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:26,000
He was warming up at the top of the inning.

1086
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Line drive right to Rose. Go to first, not in time.

1087
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Middowall lines that ball right to Pete Rose at third base for the second out in the inning.

1088
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:51,000
Donnie Moore is going to hit for himself.

1089
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:57,000
So in the third inning with Cincinnati leading ten to seven.

1090
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:03,000
Six home runs have been hit thus far in this ball game.

1091
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
First pitch is a ball outside to Donnie.

1092
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,000
That's left-handed even though he fires right in.

1093
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Here's one swing.

1094
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,000
He's the center fielder way back off the wall.

1095
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,000
Here comes Trio around third.

1096
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,000
He's going to score.

1097
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Here's Donnie Moore going in the third with a triple.

1098
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:30,000
Donnie Moore triples off the wall in center field, driving in Trio.

1099
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Now the score is ten to eight.

1100
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Moore is on third.

1101
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:41,000
And DeJesus, the hitter.

1102
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Moore, Moore, that's his second hit.

1103
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,000
First triple of the year.

1104
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:52,000
First RBI of the year.

1105
01:26:52,000 --> 01:27:01,000
That ball didn't lack from going on to the AstroTurf by very much, about three feet, four feet.

1106
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Now here's DeJesus.

1107
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,000
Two outs.

1108
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:07,000
Big run if we can pick it up from third base.

1109
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Curve ball for a strike taken by DeJesus.

1110
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:21,000
The pitch, curve ball, tap, foul.

1111
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Into the Cubs dugout.

1112
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:28,000
0-2 on DeJesus.

1113
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,000
He doubled in the first inning.

1114
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Tap on Lums there in the second.

1115
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Bourbon into the windup.

1116
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Here's the pitch outside ball one.

1117
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:54,000
This is perhaps one of the earliest that Bourbon has ever entered a ball game in relief.

1118
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Entered it in the second inning.

1119
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,000
The pitch.

1120
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,000
He's making a miss.

1121
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,000
He fouled it right into the glove of Bench.

1122
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:10,000
In the third inning the Cubs pick up one run, one hit, one man left on base.

1123
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:16,000
At the end of three complete innings of play, Cincinnati 10, Cubs 8.

1124
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:24,000
See, if you ever come across a 1909 Chalmers Tour about, a 1910 Owen or 1915 Nevada truck,

1125
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,000
let Mr. Herra of Reno, Nevada know about it.

1126
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,000
He needs those three models to complete his collection of vintage cars.

1127
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Even without them, the Guinness Book of World Records says Herra's 1,700 autos are worth 4 million bucks.

1128
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:41,000
And that makes it the greatest automobile collection of all time.

1129
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,000
There's another great collection of cars right here in Libertyville, Illinois.

1130
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,000
It's Wiles' collection of brand new six-cylinder Oldsmobiles.

1131
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Choose from 150 gas-saving six-cylinder Starfires, Omegas, Cutlasses, and 88s.

1132
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,000
They're equipped in every way imaginable.

1133
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:03,000
Some of these sixes have nothing but the bare necessities, and some have everything from full power to stereo.

1134
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:08,000
In other words, you're sure to find a six-cylinder Oldsmobile equipped just the way you want it

1135
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,000
at the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer, Wiles' Olds in Libertyville.

1136
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,000
You'll save when you buy it, save when you drive it.

1137
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:19,000
So come out and see Wiles' six-cylinder collection today.

1138
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Top of the fourth inning for Cincinnati.

1139
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:32,000
Foster will lead off, and he led off the third inning by singling in the right center.

1140
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:39,000
And when the inning had closed out, the Reds had batted around and scored four runs.

1141
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:51,000
If you like a Wiles' scoring game with a lot of hits, a lot of running, this is it.

1142
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Now Foster steps in the batter's box.

1143
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Moore on the mound, and it is wind up.

1144
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Foster stepped out of the batter's box for just a moment.

1145
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,000
Now we're set. Here's the first pitch.

1146
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,000
Fast ball, a swing, and a line drive.

1147
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:24,000
They sit into left field. They're picking on Moore's first pitch.

1148
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:28,000
Foster now has two for three in his ball game.

1149
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:33,000
That is the 12th hit for Cincinnati.

1150
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:39,000
Here's Bench. Three-run home run in the first inning.

1151
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Walked in the third.

1152
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:55,000
Cincinnati with six in the first.

1153
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,000
They rested in the second.

1154
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Came back with four in the third.

1155
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,000
First pitch to Johnny Bench.

1156
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:04,000
Low, ball one.

1157
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:09,000
The Cubs scored four in the first, three in the second, and one in the third.

1158
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:14,000
We haven't batted yet in the fourth.

1159
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,000
The ball one pitch.

1160
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,000
There's a ball low outside.

1161
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,000
Ball two, no strikes to Johnny Bench.

1162
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Foster on first base, nobody out.

1163
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Moore into the stretch.

1164
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,000
A pitch.

1165
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,000
Low, ball three.

1166
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,000
Ball three and no strikes to Johnny Bench.

1167
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:54,000
And this is the kind of day that they may give Johnny the green light on this pitch.

1168
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Here's the ball getting away from the Cubs bullpen as Russell starts warming up again.

1169
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:16,000
Bench steps back into the batter's box.

1170
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,000
The three and no pitch on its way.

1171
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,000
Strike called right down the middle, and he was taking.

1172
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:31,000
Three and one now to count.

1173
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,000
Moore sets, checks the runner.

1174
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:41,000
The pitch, fast ball high above his head, ball four.

1175
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Now time is called.

1176
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:51,000
Herman Franks walking out from the dugout once again to the mound.

1177
01:32:51,000 --> 01:33:02,000
Looks around at Paul Russell to see if he's ready.

1178
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:05,000
He is, so Russell's coming in.

1179
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:10,000
So let's pause for just a moment for this message.

1180
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Some people only sell paint.

1181
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,000
True value hardware stores make it.

1182
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,000
And who knows more about paint than the manufacturer?

1183
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:25,000
True test paint from true value hardware stores has become one of the nation's best known, fastest growing brands.

1184
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:28,000
True test paint like whether or not acrylic latex house paint.

1185
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,000
It applies like a latex.

1186
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Wears like an oil base.

1187
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:35,000
And protects your home from all kinds of weather.

1188
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:40,000
And true test easy care latex flat enamel with a hard enamel finish.

1189
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Most stains just wash away so you don't have to repaint so often.

1190
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Yet it still has that soft look that complements any room in your home.

1191
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,000
And easy care has earned a good housekeeping seal.

1192
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Easy care and whether or all are among the many true test paints made in true value hardware stores owned factories.

1193
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:02,000
And they are among the most efficient and modern paint factories in the paint industry.

1194
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:06,000
So if you want quality and real paint know-how, go to the paint maker.

1195
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,000
You're participating in true value hardware store.

1196
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Because true value is more than just a name, it's their way of doing business.

1197
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Paul Rushell coming in here.

1198
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:25,000
See if he can stop these rits.

1199
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,000
Paul Rushell has a 2.61 earned on average.

1200
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,000
He has a record of 4-2.

1201
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,000
This is his 39th game.

1202
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:39,000
He's pitched 62 in one-third innings.

1203
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:42,000
Allowed 53 hits.

1204
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,000
20 runs.

1205
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:47,000
23 walks, five intentional.

1206
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:50,000
He has struck out 34.

1207
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:54,000
He's allowed six home runs.

1208
01:34:54,000 --> 01:35:00,000
He's going to face Geronimo here with runners on first and second.

1209
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Nobody out.

1210
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,000
Fourth inning.

1211
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,000
First pitch on its way.

1212
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:08,000
Swing and a double play ball at trio.

1213
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,000
He goes to DeJesus.

1214
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:11,000
DeJesus throwing a first.

1215
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:20,000
A double play.

1216
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:31,000
And all the Cubs get their 84th double play on the first pitch thrown to Geronimo by Rushell.

1217
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:39,000
That move fostered a third, but now there are two outs.

1218
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Let's pause five seconds for station identification.

1219
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:45,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

1220
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:53,000
This is the WGN Radio Chicago, one minute until three.

1221
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:57,000
First pitch to Concepcion, ball one.

1222
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:05,000
And they want to look at that pit, at that ball I should say.

1223
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Olson gives Paul Rushell the baseball.

1224
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Tough job for the managers today to pick out a man who can stop the opposition.

1225
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:23,000
The pitch inside, ball two.

1226
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Foster on third base with two outs.

1227
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Paul Rushell, third Cub pitcher, into the lined up the pitch inside, ball three.

1228
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,000
Concepcion looks down to his coach.

1229
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Schuber gets a sign.

1230
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Lum is due up next.

1231
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Three and no pitch is a strike call.

1232
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,000
Three and one now.

1233
01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Two outs.

1234
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Cincinnati leads ten to eight.

1235
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:09,000
The pitch by Rushell, pop foul over the Reds dugout.

1236
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Three and two now on Concepcion.

1237
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Here's a three and two pitch.

1238
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,000
Swing and a ground ball to DeJesus Wright.

1239
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:27,000
He has it.

1240
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:28,000
The long throw.

1241
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:31,000
In time.

1242
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:33,000
A beautiful play by DeJesus.

1243
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Throwing out to Concepcion.

1244
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,000
Saving that run.

1245
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:46,000
So Paul Rushell came in and did an outstanding job in retiring the Reds after they had runners on first and second and nobody out.

1246
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:49,000
In the fourth inning, no runs, one hit.

1247
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,000
One man left on base.

1248
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,000
Cubs coming to bat fourth inning.

1249
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Cincinnati ten, Cubs eight.

1250
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Fans of summer, True Value hardware stores can show you how to wipe out armies of bugs single-handedly with a Hudson Courtless player.

1251
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:11,000
It takes just a single hand to hold and operate the lightweight Hudson half-gallon Courtless player.

1252
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Its mini-max nozzle adjusts for fine, coarse, or long-range spray and adjusts to reach the underside of leaves.

1253
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,000
The extension helps you reach high branches or into the center of thick shrubbery.

1254
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:32,000
And the Hudson Courtless player from True Value hardware stores sprays its half-gallon capacity three times on a single overnight charge.

1255
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Now this summer, you can wipe out armies of bugs single-handedly.

1256
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:43,000
Get the Hudson half-gallon Courtless player from participating True Value hardware stores.

1257
01:38:43,000 --> 01:39:03,000
True Value hardware is more than just a name. It's our way of doing business that means True Value.

1258
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:14,000
In the fourth inning, the Cubs will send Bittner, Buckner, and Mercer to the plate, trailing by two runs. It's ten to eight.

1259
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:21,000
Well, we have a group of special school-age children totaling 80 here with their chaperones.

1260
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:26,000
They represent the South Metropolitan Association for Low Incidents Handicapped,

1261
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:34,000
a regional public school program serving 55 school districts in the southern suburbs.

1262
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:39,000
These children enjoying today's ball game.

1263
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:50,000
Well, they perhaps are not enjoying the score right now, but they're enjoying the action.

1264
01:39:50,000 --> 01:40:00,000
Burrbone's first pitch to Bittner is a strike call.

1265
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:06,000
It'll be Bittner, Buckner, and Mercer. Cubs trail by two.

1266
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Here's a foul ball off the bat of Bittner. He didn't want to swing. The ball hit the bat, goes foul, strike two.

1267
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:22,000
The New York Yankees now lead Baltimore seven to one at the end of five and a half.

1268
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:30,000
Boston leads Milwaukee eight to nothing at the end of six. Swing and a face hit.

1269
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Pass Morgan into right field. I had to hold up for a minute. I didn't know whether Morgan was going to catch up to that ball or not.

1270
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:45,000
So Bittner gets his second hit of the day.

1271
01:40:45,000 --> 01:41:04,000
And now here's Buckner at bat. He represents the tying run. He had a three-run home run in the first.

1272
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:13,000
A wild affair here at Wrigley Field. Cincinnati 10, Cubs eight. We're in the fourth inning.

1273
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:18,000
This game is an hour and a half old already.

1274
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:23,000
The dinner will be late tonight.

1275
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:30,000
The stretch, the pitch, curve ball outside, ball one.

1276
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:39,000
LeBone, the second, Cincinnati red pitcher. Cubs have used three thus far.

1277
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:53,000
Love playing behind Bittner. There's a strike called and it's one and one on Buckner.

1278
01:41:53,000 --> 01:42:04,000
LeBone is ready. Here's a pitch, a swing and a fly ball deep to left center. But the center fielder Geronimo back on the warning track catches that ball for the out.

1279
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Buckner just couldn't get around on LeBone's fast ball.

1280
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:22,000
Mercer, the batter. A home run to the opposite field in the first inning.

1281
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Bittner on first. One out now.

1282
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:43,000
Here's the first pitch to Mercer. Swing and a miss on a low sinker. Strike one.

1283
01:42:43,000 --> 01:43:00,000
LeBone gets a sign from Bench. Checks Bittner at first. The pitch, swing and a base hit in the left center. There goes Bittner around second and he will hold up as Geronimo got in very fast to feel that ball and Bittner wasn't going to take any chances.

1284
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Two runs down. So he stopped at second base.

1285
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,000
So Mercer gets his second hit of the day.

1286
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:13,000
That's the fourth hit off for Bone.

1287
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:17,000
And now here's Morales at bat with Cub runners.

1288
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:22,000
First and second, one out.

1289
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:25,000
Cincinnati with ten runs, twelve hits.

1290
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:30,000
The Cubs have eight runs on nine hits.

1291
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:41,000
First pitch to Morales. Swing and a miss. Strike one.

1292
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:48,000
LeBone waiting until Morales gets set.

1293
01:43:48,000 --> 01:44:04,000
Now the pitch. Swing and a miss on a sidearm curveball breaking away from Geri. It's 0-2.

1294
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:11,000
The pitch on its way. Curveball outside. Just missing it. It's one ball, two strikes.

1295
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:18,000
And Tavarez two up next. Tying run for the Cubs at first base.

1296
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,000
In the person of Mercer, Bittner is on second.

1297
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:25,000
Here's the pitch to Geri Morales. Outside, ball two.

1298
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:34,000
Two and two to count.

1299
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Ball two, strike two.

1300
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,000
LeBone checks the base runners. Bittner at second base.

1301
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Mercer is on first. Here's the pitch. High, ball three.

1302
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:56,000
Ball three, strike two to Geri Morales.

1303
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Bittner takes his lead from second. Here's the pitch. Swing and a line drive.

1304
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:06,000
Right fielder, Griffey going back on the warning track. Reaches up and makes a one-handed catch.

1305
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Bittner goes back to tag up and reaches third safely.

1306
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Another line drive that was hit deep in the right field. Griffey makes the catch for the out.

1307
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:33,000
Two outs. It's going to be up to Antavarez. He has struck out twice.

1308
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:38,000
Bittner now is on third. Mercer is on first.

1309
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:43,000
First pitch, Antavarez. Swing and a pop up behind second. It could be tough.

1310
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:48,000
Rose is there. Kosepchon is there. The ball dropped for a big hit.

1311
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:52,000
And Mercer goes to third.

1312
01:45:52,000 --> 01:46:01,000
There was a tough play. Rose trying to make an over-the-shoulder catch running from the infield.

1313
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Could not make the catch. Kosepchon was playing Antavarez, the left-handed hitter, over towards second base so he couldn't get there in time.

1314
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:17,000
And the ball went off of Rose as 12 lands in third territory by two feet.

1315
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:21,000
So it's a base hit for Antavarez.

1316
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:25,000
Scores Bittner with a Cubs ninth run.

1317
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Sends Mercer to third with a tying run. And here's Trio at bat.

1318
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:38,000
First pitch. Swing and a line drive. Base hit.

1319
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:51,000
There goes Antavarez to third. And Mercer scores a tying run.

1320
01:46:51,000 --> 01:47:04,000
A brand new ballgame. The Cubs have fought back from a 6-0 deficit and have tied up the Cincinnati Reds 10-10.

1321
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:08,000
And we're only in the fourth inning.

1322
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:14,000
This could be an 18-17 game, you know.

1323
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:24,000
Here's Bittner-Wall. Home run in the second inning, lined out in the third.

1324
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:32,000
The pitch. Strike call.

1325
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:38,000
Antavarez on third. Trio on first.

1326
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Pitch. Live on the center field. Geronimo is there. Clips the glasses down. He has them one handed for the out.

1327
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:53,000
But the Cubs have fought back. They scored two runs, four hits, two men left on the bases.

1328
01:47:53,000 --> 01:48:01,000
At the end of four, it's 10-10.

1329
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Have you ever turned off the ignition on your car, but the engine keeps running and running and the body shakes and vibrates?

1330
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:13,000
That's called run-on, and it's caused by post-ignition inside the cylinders.

1331
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:19,000
When your car keeps running on like this, it's a sign it may need higher octane to perform the way it should.

1332
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:28,000
Now Standard introduces new Amaco Premium Lead-Free, the higher octane lead-free gasoline with higher octane than typical unleaded gasoline.

1333
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:35,000
Higher octane than regular leaded gasoline, too. Try a tank full. It could make a difference.

1334
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:41,000
If you don't have the problem of engine run-on, use Lead-Free Amaco, the Midwest's best-selling lead-free.

1335
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:47,000
Standard is the lead-free leader, and now Standard offers you two lead-free gasolines.

1336
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:52,000
New Amaco Premium Lead-Free in the gold pump and famous lead-free Amaco in the blue pump.

1337
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:57,000
You'll find this choice of lead-free gasolines at your independent Standard oil dealer.

1338
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:01,000
Because you expect more from a leader.

1339
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:19,000
Well, it's settling down. After 10 runs in the first inning, and the next three have only been 10.

1340
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:26,000
You've still got plenty of time to come out and see a lot of action at Wrigley Field today.

1341
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:32,000
Let me tell you, this is the kind of a game that the kids particularly just have to fall in love with, man-o-man.

1342
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:37,000
They'll be talking about this one for the next month, and probably right on into the school days.

1343
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:43,000
They never forget this kind, and I guarantee you they'll remember every come-home line.

1344
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:49,000
Mike Lung, who homered in the first inning with a man on, reached in a fielder's choice,

1345
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:55,000
and the third is going to lead off against the Cubs' Paul Ruschel.

1346
01:49:55,000 --> 01:50:01,000
While they have tied a home run by both ball clubs in one inning with five,

1347
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:07,000
they are nowhere near the major league record for homers in a game by two teams.

1348
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,000
That record is 11.

1349
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:14,000
First pitch of the ball to the left-handed hitting Lung.

1350
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:22,000
Ball on the windup. Fast ball, just misses outside. Ball two.

1351
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:32,000
Everybody except the pitchers on the Reds have at least one hit, and four of them have two hits.

1352
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,000
There's a strike ball, two strike one.

1353
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,000
Pete Rose is a pair, including a homer.

1354
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,000
Rippey has a pair of singles.

1355
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:42,000
George Foster is a pair of singles.

1356
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Here's the pitch swung out, a drive into center field, and Mike Lung now has his second hit of the day.

1357
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Single into center field.

1358
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:02,000
Dave Concepcion has a pair of singles.

1359
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:08,000
And Pedro Borbon loves to swing that bat stepping in.

1360
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:19,000
Four for 13 for Borbon this year.

1361
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,000
Attaveras anticipating a sacrifice comes up the line.

1362
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,000
Borbon pushes one up to the mound.

1363
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Ruschel has it, goes to second for one.

1364
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:30,000
The relay, double play.

1365
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:36,000
Ruschel to the Haysos, the Manny Creos.

1366
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:41,000
And Mike Lung going in hard, trying to take the Haysos out.

1367
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,000
He couldn't do it.

1368
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:49,000
And credit Paul Ruschel with a fine play, clubbing the ball just on the first base side in front of the mound.

1369
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:56,000
Waiting for the Haysos, absorb the impact of the runners sliding in, threw a little high, but Manny Creos,

1370
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:02,000
fortunately, is barely tall and a long reach, got it in a boarding house.

1371
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:07,000
So the bases are empty with the Cubs' 85th double play of the year.

1372
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:10,000
And Pete Rose steps in.

1373
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:19,000
He triggered the fireworks, leading off the ball game of the homer off Ray Burris.

1374
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:24,000
Fitcher trying to sacrifice and punks into a double play.

1375
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,000
He takes an air as a strike.

1376
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:39,000
Andy Olson, the plate up to inspect the ball, he does, keeps it in play.

1377
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:50,000
All of the windups, sinkers into the dirt, ball one, strike one.

1378
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:56,000
The Cubs six in the first, four in the third.

1379
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Or the Reds, rather, six in the first and four in the third.

1380
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:03,000
A foul ball out of play to the left side, faced a good fastball.

1381
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:13,000
The Cubs responded with four runs in the first inning, three in the second, one in the third, and two in the fourth.

1382
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:18,000
And only 20 runs have been scored so far on 24 base hits.

1383
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:24,000
They were only in the fifth inning.

1384
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:27,000
Fitch steps out of the batter's box.

1385
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:36,000
He is now 20th in the all-time list of major big hitters with total base hits of 2,884.

1386
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:43,000
I'm sorry, he is tied, Zach Wheat, with that total, 2,884.

1387
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:46,000
But it all had gone out to Dr. Paul.

1388
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:47,000
Now George steps back.

1389
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:52,000
He has one of the home runs today.

1390
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:56,000
They want a three in the first inning, one, two delivery.

1391
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:57,000
Swung out, bouncing ball.

1392
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:00,000
Creo to his right, comes up for him, he's got it, throws the first.

1393
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Got him to retire the side.

1394
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:08,000
That ball really jumped up in the last half about head high.

1395
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:14,000
He throws, grounds out to Creo for the second time, and in the fifth inning, no runs, one hit.

1396
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:19,000
Reds leave nobody on, and the Cubs come to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning.

1397
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:22,000
Paul Ruschel is still lead off with a score still.

1398
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,000
Since he's 10, the Cubs 10.

1399
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:30,000
You know there's one kind of ballplayer a manager really likes to have around, and that's the guy who's consistent?

1400
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:33,000
He's there every day making the plays and getting the hits.

1401
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,000
Well, that's the kind of consistency you get with Heilman's old-style beer.

1402
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:43,000
You always know you're going to get the same flavor from bottle to bottle, can to can, and case in and case out.

1403
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:44,000
The reason?

1404
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:50,000
Well, the folks at G. Heilman Brewing Company are consistently fussy about what goes into this great light beer.

1405
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:59,000
They select only the choicest hops, the finest grains, and they believe only sparkling, pure Wisconsin spring water is good enough for old-style.

1406
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:02,000
Water that flows from deep beneath the ground.

1407
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,000
Some folks say all the way from Canada.

1408
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:09,000
And when it comes to brewing, they still brew old-style the old world way.

1409
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:20,000
In fact, old-style is one American premium beer that is still fully poisoned, naturally carbonated in the old world way, which means it's pure brewed, double brewed.

1410
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:24,000
So next time, try the beer that tastes great consistently.

1411
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:28,000
Try old-style, pure brewed in God's country.

1412
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:38,000
Paul Russell to lead off.

1413
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:42,000
The other two pitchers have preceded him today.

1414
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:43,000
Got base hits.

1415
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Burris a double and scored.

1416
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:48,000
Donnie Moore crippled in Romero.

1417
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Don't be embarrassed, Paul. Get a hit.

1418
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:54,000
First pitch to him is a strike.

1419
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:58,000
Ten to ten score, Bourbon delivers.

1420
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,000
Sidearm, breaking ball, and he tried to hold up and couldn't do it.

1421
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:02,000
It's a strike.

1422
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Nothing and two.

1423
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:07,000
Bourbon will come at you about ten different ways.

1424
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:11,000
Sidearm, three-quarter, overhand, change of speeds.

1425
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,000
There's a lot of breaking pitches and has good fastball.

1426
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:16,000
There's a fastball, swung on and missed.

1427
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:20,000
Throws it almost like a good softball pitcher that time.

1428
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:24,000
A ball, a span, that's strikeout number four for Pedro.

1429
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:28,000
His third victim, Yvonne DeJesus stepping in,

1430
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:32,000
doubled and scored on Buckner's three-run homer in the first.

1431
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:37,000
Reached on an air, first man to face Bourbon when he came on in the second inning,

1432
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:43,000
and he scored on Bittner's single.

1433
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:47,000
As his swing and a high flat ball to the center fielder, Geranimo.

1434
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,000
He's under it. Reaches up.

1435
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:52,000
Loves it, one-handed, and they're two away.

1436
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Here's Bittner, who has walked and, as a pair, singles today,

1437
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:02,000
and a run batted in and a run scored.

1438
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:07,000
Kim Dorr, John Murphy, Kim Dorr, Mike Dorr,

1439
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:12,000
drove 200 miles, didn't mind at all, because they wanted to see the Cubs

1440
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:18,000
start a ten-game winning streak. Wouldn't that be nice for Iowa?

1441
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:29,000
And 117 fans from the campus of Illinois, Lions, are here with their guests.

1442
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:40,000
Their fifth annual trip to Wrigley Field, Bittner takes the first pitch of strike.

1443
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:45,000
Bourbon and Paul Ruschel, now working against one another in relief.

1444
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Here's the windup. Takes the strike over the outside corner.

1445
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Larry, not too pleased with that call.

1446
01:57:54,000 --> 01:58:00,000
John Tupole, a good Cup fan, and a good car leader,

1447
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,000
whose days may be his swing and a bouncing foul.

1448
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:16,000
Today, got a grip of Lindale Heights fans with him this afternoon.

1449
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:23,000
Our good friend John Loftus, helping to see that John Tupole doesn't get lost at Wrigley Field.

1450
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:30,000
As a strike called, and Bittner can't believe it, he draws a line about three inches away from the plate

1451
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:35,000
to indicate to Andy Olson, in his judgment, the pitch was outside.

1452
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:39,000
But only the judgment of Andy Olson counts.

1453
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:43,000
And Bourbon, with two strikeouts in the fifth inning, puts the Cubs down in order.

1454
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:47,000
That's the first inning. The Cubs have been shut out.

1455
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:52,000
So, at the end of five at Wrigley Field, the game's settling down a little bit.

1456
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:54,000
Rich 10, the Cubs 10.

1457
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:58,000
True value hardware stores want to help you save on energy, so they offer savings

1458
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:05,000
on the batteries you need to supply energy to flashlights, kids' toys, games, and more.

1459
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Right now, you can get a pack of four Rayovac C or D sized batteries for just 77 cents.

1460
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:17,000
These Rayovac general purpose batteries are ideal for equipment that's only used occasionally

1461
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:19,000
or for short periods of time.

1462
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:24,000
And now the true value hardware stores are offering a four pack of these Rayovac batteries

1463
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:29,000
for just 77 cents. You can afford to replace all your worn out batteries

1464
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:32,000
and stock up on extras for future use.

1465
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Get a pack of four Rayovac C or D sized general purpose batteries for just 77 cents

1466
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:43,000
from participating true value hardware stores.

1467
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:56,000
True value hardware is more than just a name. It's a way of doing good things that means true value.

1468
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:09,000
Well, the grounds-keeping crew is raked over the infield.

1469
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:13,000
Let me tell you, it needed it because it's been torn up pretty good with all those spikes

1470
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:17,000
that have been racing around here this afternoon.

1471
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:31,000
We've got a crowd, I would judge, about 32, 33,000, maybe a little bit more.

1472
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:36,000
Ken Griffey, with two hits today, stepping in.

1473
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:39,000
When all is said and done, the Cubs will still be number one.

1474
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:42,000
No, Bill Berg did not make that up.

1475
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:48,000
Two little kids, creating that one around here today.

1476
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:53,000
First pitch of ball. Griffey takes, there's a strike, a slider on him.

1477
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:56,000
Ball one, strike one.

1478
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:00,000
Dilley's did not score at Los Angeles in the top of the first inning.

1479
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:03,000
Go get them Dodgers.

1480
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Wind up in the 1-1 pitch. Griffey swings and he misses.

1481
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Ball, must have got a piece of it and I think it came off the bare hand of Merwold

1482
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:15,000
as it dropped right at his feet.

1483
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:18,000
Didn't want to show that he's hurt at all.

1484
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:21,000
All right, Bill, we're going to put you in the pool.

1485
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:27,000
What would you guess would be the total run scored here at Wrigley Field today, Mr. Berg?

1486
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:34,000
Total runs, we've got 20 now. Up to 28 runs, Vince.

1487
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:39,000
Look out, there's one high and deep. It is now up to 21. That is gone.

1488
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Way, way back. That one left the ballpark.

1489
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:50,000
Let me tell you, well that left the park. It has to be at least 430 feet away.

1490
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:53,000
You know, this is beginning to look like a reenactment of Star Wars.

1491
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:56,000
Everything is exploding around this place. It's unreal.

1492
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:00,000
Good Lord, what a shot.

1493
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:04,000
Griffey's ninth home run of the year.

1494
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:07,000
It's only his third hit today.

1495
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,000
That one may be in the lake.

1496
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:16,000
Here's Morgan.

1497
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:21,000
Checks his swing and fouls it out of play into the box seats in the third base side.

1498
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:28,000
It is now 11 to 10 with the Reds having the 11.

1499
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:33,000
Balls, next pitch is Volker for Strechhoff.

1500
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:41,000
There have been some shots here today. Didn't need any wind for some of them.

1501
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:45,000
Fastball swung on there as a base hit on the right center field. He may try to stretch it.

1502
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Mercer coming over to cut it off. Here's Morgan going into second.

1503
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:52,000
Thrill off target and he's in there with a double.

1504
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:55,000
Thrill kept fearing over towards first base.

1505
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:59,000
That was about 15 feet off the bag at second.

1506
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:04,000
Morgan had made up his mind as soon as he left the batter's box he was going to try it for two.

1507
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:07,000
And he got it.

1508
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:12,000
That's only his 14th double this year. I thought he had more than that.

1509
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:15,000
And that's Joe's second hit of the day.

1510
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:29,000
George Foster, the leading home run hitter in the majors with 32, has two singles in his strikeout so far today.

1511
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Run of it's second, curve, checks he swing it's low, ball one. They ask for the appeal, denied.

1512
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:41,000
Willie Hernandez, feared in both games of the double-hunter yesterday,

1513
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:45,000
and the south ball is now throwing in the cup bullpen down the left field line.

1514
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:53,000
11 to 10 since he's leading.

1515
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:55,000
Ball's fastball swung up.

1516
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:59,000
Bouncing ball to Onoveras when he gets back to second to throw to first he's got it.

1517
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:04,000
Onoveras having to angle in towards the bound and in front of the shortstop position.

1518
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:09,000
And Morgan hastily got back into the bag at second.

1519
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:16,000
One gone in the top of the sixth inning and here's Johnny Bench.

1520
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:26,000
Just prior to his rerun homer in the first inning, he just missed building one of Ray Burris' shots out of here.

1521
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:30,000
It went foul. He made up for it. The next one was really hammered.

1522
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:33,000
His 23rd homer of the year.

1523
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:39,000
Since then he's walked twice and scored once. Dix the first pitch high, ball one.

1524
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:42,000
The Dodgers did not score in the bottom of the first inning.

1525
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:46,000
No score at the end of one. The Phillies and L.A. in a day game,

1526
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,000
the most unusual thing during the week at Los Angeles.

1527
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:52,000
One-0 pitch, good sinker fastball fouled.

1528
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Terms off the wall, back on the line to the plate and first.

1529
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:58,000
Would you say the score was going to be, Bill?

1530
02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:00,000
I'll go with a total of 28 runs.

1531
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,000
28? Yeah. Okay.

1532
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:10,000
That means somebody's got to win by at least two. Yeah.

1533
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,000
One wants it.

1534
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:18,000
Well now there's a deep drive, but it's going to stay in the ballpark and Bittner will catch it. He does.

1535
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:20,000
Thanks, Evan.

1536
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:23,000
Miss, I'll tell you, the funniest net game, but games I ever saw.

1537
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:27,000
When I was a kid living in Buffalo for a while, I used to go to international league games.

1538
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:32,000
And I saw a double header between Buffalo and Syracuse, 28 to 11 and 16 to 12.

1539
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,000
Ha ha ha, double header.

1540
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:36,000
There were ten home runs in the first game. Yeah.

1541
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:38,000
They set international league records all over the place.

1542
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:42,000
This reshaping up is the best kind of thing.

1543
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:46,000
Geronimo stepping in, Morgan still a second with Cugon.

1544
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:53,000
Fastball, tails outside, the left-hander, ball one.

1545
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:57,000
Two-two-four, what's your guess of the total runs?

1546
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,000
27 runs. 27.

1547
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:01,000
That comes with 14, huh?

1548
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:03,000
All right.

1549
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,000
John Lockes, what's yours?

1550
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:07,000
Deep drive.

1551
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,000
There's a swing, deep drive, let field.

1552
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:11,000
Bittner, go back, go back. Get there, Larry.

1553
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:14,000
Look out! Oh, man!

1554
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:17,000
What an acrobatic job by Larry Bittner.

1555
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,000
And that ball really was hammered.

1556
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:24,000
And he really added to it a tremendous job of recovery.

1557
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:28,000
He may have had a heart-stopping catch.

1558
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:31,000
Started to drift back, ball still carried.

1559
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:35,000
Finally at the last moment of the warning crack, he leaped up and back towards the wall.

1560
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:38,000
Fairly got it in the webbing of the glove.

1561
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:43,000
Somehow, as he came down right at himself, went up against the blinds,

1562
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:47,000
and still managed to hold out of the ball.

1563
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Thank you, Larry. That's our thrill for the day.

1564
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:56,000
And Geronimo and the Reds are retired in the sixth inning.

1565
02:06:56,000 --> 02:07:03,000
A leadoff homer by Griffey, double by Morgan, who's left-stranded.

1566
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:10,000
Now we move to the cup half of inning number six in Don't Go Away, Cincinnati leading 11-10.

1567
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:14,000
Chances are you may have different monthly bills for different amounts due at different times,

1568
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:17,000
so you might appreciate a timely suggestion on handling the payments.

1569
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:21,000
Consider combining all your monthly bills into a single convenient monthly payment

1570
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:26,000
with a consolidation loan from Friendly Bob Adams at General Finance Corporation.

1571
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:33,000
Besides reducing your debts, a General Finance bill consolidation loan makes bill paying more convenient, easier to keep track of.

1572
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Call Friendly Bob Adams at Andover 3202-0, whether someone is willing to listen and willing to help,

1573
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:44,000
even while your phoning action begins on your own personal General Finance consolidation loan.

1574
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:49,000
It lets you reduce a month's collection of scattered bills to one convenient monthly payment.

1575
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:53,000
Bill paying is simplified and organized. You may even save money over the long run.

1576
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:58,000
So whatever your financial problems call, Friendly Bob, at Andover 3202-0,

1577
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:03,000
it's Andover 3202-0 for a General Finance bill consolidation loan up to $10,000.

1578
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:08,000
There are over 65 offices in the Chicagoland area.

1579
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:18,000
They also have an office in Naperville. General Finance, I hope you'll give them a call.

1580
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:24,000
In answer to your question, a heart-stopping minute or two ago down the office, the prize,

1581
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:28,000
we're going to give you a Jack Frick house.

1582
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:36,000
Now, what's your guess on the total runs for the day? We ought to get a good pool going up here.

1583
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Four bones delivery. Buckner swings, gets under it, lets a high fly ball to the right fielder, Griffey.

1584
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:44,000
Just missed hitting one out of here.

1585
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:53,000
But, cop, Wynn started to carry it, and Griffey had to make a good recovery to grab that one one-handed.

1586
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:59,000
Bobby Mercer, the batter, has a homer and a single. Two runs, about it in today.

1587
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:09,000
Let's pause a moment here for station identification.

1588
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:13,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

1589
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:20,000
WGN Radio, Chicago, 331.

1590
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:25,000
Four bones delivers. Bobby Mercer takes the ball, two low, ball one.

1591
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:29,000
Alex Lloyd here with you at Wrigley Field. Let's see, 21 runs right now.

1592
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:35,000
I think I'm going to guess 25 total for the day.

1593
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:38,000
That's not very many, is it?

1594
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:43,000
Bobby takes, there's a strike. The level of count at one-on-one on him.

1595
02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:48,000
Got his 15th homer of the year in the first inning. Here's a pitch.

1596
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:54,000
Gets under the fast ball and fouls it back up onto the screen.

1597
02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:59,000
From Beaverville, Illinois. Here to cheer the Cubs on to a pennant.

1598
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:04,000
Lloyd Yates, Mort Regnier, Phoenix Arsenal, and Danny Yates.

1599
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Beaverville, Illinois. Where in the world is that?

1600
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:17,000
I think somebody's putting me on.

1601
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:21,000
Bob Odom the windup. Mercer swings and he misses for strike three.

1602
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:24,000
He shakes his head in disbelief.

1603
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:33,000
Went after one letter high away. Four bones, sixth strikeout of the ballgame.

1604
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:36,000
No need to hurry back, Bill. We may be here for a long time.

1605
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:39,000
You may not get on the air today.

1606
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:47,000
Jerry Morales, believe it or not, is the only Cub in the starting lineup today who does not yet have a hit.

1607
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:50,000
And he is the leading hitter on the club.

1608
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:52,000
I find that a little ironic.

1609
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Takes the first pitch of strike.

1610
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,000
He's popped up, banned, and hammered a drive to the right fielder.

1611
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:01,000
Hit it hard. But he's 0 for 3. 0-1 pitch.

1612
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:06,000
There's a high fly ball coming in for it. He's going to get there. Nope.

1613
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:09,000
Jerry Morales gets his first hit of the day.

1614
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:12,000
A Texas Laker in Funnigan Grippy.

1615
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:15,000
That would have been embarrassing, you know, with all these base hits.

1616
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:17,000
That's the 12th by the Cubs.

1617
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,000
A little jerry not to have one of them.

1618
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:25,000
Hit number 7, Alpeiro Barbon.

1619
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:29,000
Brings up out of the air, so after striking out his first two times up,

1620
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:33,000
singled and drove and a run in the fourth inning.

1621
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:38,000
The Reds lead 11 to 10.

1622
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:41,000
Takes the first pitch of strike.

1623
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:45,000
The Cubs with two homers in the first inning, Buckner with two men on,

1624
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:48,000
followed by Mercer's shot.

1625
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:51,000
Minnilol led off the second with a homer.

1626
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:53,000
Here's the ball missing away at the knees.

1627
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:55,000
The Cubs with three homeruns.

1628
02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:57,000
The Reds got three in the first inning.

1629
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,000
Rose to lead off the game, Bench with two men on.

1630
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:02,000
Mike Lama the man on.

1631
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:04,000
And Grippy led off the sixth with a homer.

1632
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:06,000
So they have four.

1633
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:08,000
And the total of seven, there's a strike.

1634
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:13,000
The total of seven homers by these two clubs today is four away

1635
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:19,000
from the high by two teams in a game in the majors.

1636
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:21,000
Barbon with a one-two pitch.

1637
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:26,000
Checks his swing and it's low and inside, two and two.

1638
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:35,000
The Cardinals of Chabona Park's Kenny Hubs League for nine and ten-year-olds are here today, 20 strong.

1639
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:36,000
Two-two pitch.

1640
02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:41,000
Outside, he wouldn't chase it, three and two, and the runner of the Marathas will be off with this pitch.

1641
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Kenny Hubs, of course, the great young second baseman for the Cubs that was killed in the off-season private plane crash.

1642
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:52,000
Three-two pitch.

1643
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:55,000
High for four and four-ball.

1644
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:58,000
Upset with himself.

1645
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:01,000
Hying Ron Morales at second base.

1646
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:10,000
Onabar, son at first, represents the go-ahead run and Manny Trio, the hitter.

1647
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:23,000
Manny rounded out in the first, walked and scored in the third, singled and drove in a run in the fourth.

1648
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:26,000
The stretch, the pitch, swung down, a miss.

1649
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:28,000
Good fastball in on it.

1650
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:38,000
Kenny Hubs League is part of that Chabona Park Youth Council's total baseball program that has in excess of 600 players.

1651
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:42,000
The Cubs are in the box seats and back to the cup dugout with the red Cardinal jerseys on.

1652
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:47,000
With a swing and a lazy little flat ball that Kendrick becomes in for, he's got it easily.

1653
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:51,000
The Cubs are retired in the sixth.

1654
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:54,000
No runs, one hit, two men left.

1655
02:13:54,000 --> 02:14:01,000
At Bwigley Field at the end of six full innings of play, Cincinnati Reds, 11, the Chicago Cubs, 10.

1656
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:09,000
January 27, 1976, Steve Markoff hands over a check for $7,300,000.

1657
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:13,000
In return, he receives the most valuable coin collection of all time.

1658
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:17,000
It consists of $407,000 silver dollars.

1659
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:23,000
The Guinness Book of World Records says that transaction took place in Reno, Nevada.

1660
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:27,000
There's also a great collection for sale right here in Libertyville, Illinois.

1661
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:31,000

1668
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:18,000
Dave Concepcion has to lead a lap here for the Cincinnati Reds.

1669
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:21,000
Wild willy it there.

1670
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:28,000
Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord, McKean family of Warren, Illinois, wishing Colleen McKeon a speedy recovery.

1671
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:35,000
She's in the hospital, I'm happy to learn, up at Monroe, Wisconsin.

1672
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:40,000
Colleen an avid compend.

1673
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:49,000
First pitch, and Concepcion takes the ball, but misses outside the knees to the right-hander.

1674
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:53,000
Wind up that ball, there's one that just misses a little low.

1675
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,000
Ball two.

1676
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:02,000
The Phillies and the Dodgers are in the third, still no score in the West Coast.

1677
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:08,000
Ball steps back to widen up the pitch, Concepcion takes a strike, a good fast ball.

1678
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:13,000
Davey with two hits, pair of singles, spatted in two runs today.

1679
02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:19,000
He was hitless in the series up until this afternoon, there's the ball, it's blown away.

1680
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:25,000
Ball three, strike one on the Reds shortstop Dave Concepcion.

1681
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:28,000
Paul on the wind up, three-one pitch, fast ball, misses low.

1682
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:30,000
Ball four, he lost it.

1683
02:16:30,000 --> 02:16:36,000
That opens up the seven.

1684
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:41,000
First walk issued by Paul, who came on a relief in the fourth inning.

1685
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:44,000
With two on, nobody out.

1686
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:47,000
Got a double play ball and then a ground out off the bat of Concepcion.

1687
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:51,000
Good play by DeJesus to retire the side.

1688
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:57,000
He ended a single, then a double play ball on a sacrifice attempt for the pitcher in the fifth.

1689
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:02,000
He went for Homer in the sixth inning to Ken Griffey, followed by a double, then got the next three men.

1690
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:05,000
A couple of them were hard outs.

1691
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:10,000
First pitch, Lum gets under it, fouls it back out of play.

1692
02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:14,000
He's like a two-run Homer in the first inning, his second Homer of the year.

1693
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:18,000
He's reached and scored on a fielders choice and single.

1694
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:23,000
Strike one count on the left-hander.

1695
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:30,000
Stan Mertz, Jay Davis from West Illinois, took the day off to watch the Cubs and the Reds go at it today.

1696
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:35,000
A wild one, 11 to 10 since he's seventh inning to pitch.

1697
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:37,000
Pitch out, runner not going.

1698
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:40,000
Strike one.

1699
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:45,000
Gang from the Sibley Pharmacy.

1700
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:51,000
Watching the Cubs the very best, hoping they can hold on to the number one spot in the Eastern Division.

1701
02:17:51,000 --> 02:18:01,000
Throw it up first to run her back safely.

1702
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:06,000
One-one pitch coming up to Lum and he calls for time and steps out.

1703
02:18:06,000 --> 02:18:09,000
With a speck of dust in his eye.

1704
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:18,000
One of the great engineers at WGN, Art Avery, going to be having a retirement very shortly.

1705
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:26,000
And unfortunately, neither Lum nor I are going to be able to be on hand for the retirement party that they're going to throw for Mr. Avery tomorrow afternoon.

1706
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:31,000
By that time, we expect to be down in Houston with the Chicago Cubs for the start of our series.

1707
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:33,000
One-one pitch, the winner goes.

1708
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:38,000
Outside, the throw is high. Freo comes down and almost spiked Concepcion going in.

1709
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:45,000
He may have come down a little bit on his left leg, but he's in there with a stolen base.

1710
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:49,000
Davey's been sitting down and now gets up kind of slowly.

1711
02:18:49,000 --> 02:18:51,000
Here's something to realize, what are you trying to do that to me for?

1712
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:55,000
Smiles when he says it.

1713
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:59,000
That's his 20-second stolen base of the year.

1714
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:01,000
And thrown out just five times.

1715
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:07,000
So they've got a runner in scoring position with a count of two and one.

1716
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:09,000
Two-one pitch.

1717
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Got the fastball off the end of the bat and fouled it out of play, two and two.

1718
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:24,000
A lot of ice cream, bro.

1719
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:30,000
Oh, no, Mr. Art Avery.

1720
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:33,000
One of the great ones.

1721
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:35,000
Two-two pitch.

1722
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:40,000
Gets under, led up, and he hits a deep foul way down the right field side into the box seats.

1723
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:43,000
It's still two and two.

1724
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:46,000
Dodgers and Philadelphia have not been able to score yet today.

1725
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:50,000
They're in the fourth on the West Coast.

1726
02:19:50,000 --> 02:19:58,000
Day game during the week at Dodger Stadium is almost as rare as snow in July in Chicago.

1727
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:00,000
Two-two pitch.

1728
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:04,000
Gets under that one and out in front, another foul ball parked down the right field line.

1729
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:19,000
It's still two and two on Mike.

1730
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:22,000
Right of its second with nobody out.

1731
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:23,000
Sinking fastball is low.

1732
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:26,000
Ball three, strike two.

1733
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:39,000
Full count on the number eight man in the Cincinnati batting order today, Mike Lum.

1734
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:41,000
The rest would like to get him out of there.

1735
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:49,000
Looks at the brother at second, Concepcion, breaking ball, and he lost him outside.

1736
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:55,000
Second walk in the inning.

1737
02:20:55,000 --> 02:20:58,000
That's more, Willie Hernandez throwing in the cup bowl then.

1738
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:03,000
We're going to have a pinch hitter now for Pedro Borbon.

1739
02:21:03,000 --> 02:21:05,000
Head armbar, sir.

1740
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:11,000
Got into yesterday's ball game as a pinch hitter.

1741
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:20,000
He's two for twelve as a pinch swinger this year.

1742
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:24,000
First inning, these two clubs tied a major league record.

1743
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:32,000
A total of five home runs, three by the Reds.

1744
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:41,000
In the seventh, Cincy with a one-run lead, eleven to ten, and an opportunity to expand it.

1745
02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Armbrister, right-hander.

1746
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:44,000
Here's the pitch.

1747
02:21:44,000 --> 02:21:52,000
He's going to buck and he takes a strike at the bat out there.

1748
02:21:52,000 --> 02:22:01,000
Here's the on-back circle, the lead-out man, Pete Rose.

1749
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:05,000
Paul, who came out of relief in the fourth and a bit of a jam as a result of two walks,

1750
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:09,000
the right-hander's pitch, Armbrister, bumps it foul on the third-base side, and he's in the hole,

1751
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:11,000
nothing in two.

1752
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:16,000
Eight-cup fans from the Maple Lanes in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

1753
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:24,000
They are lending their voices to the enthusiasm of the other cup fans here today.

1754
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:29,000
Proud of somewhere around 32, 33,000, I would guess.

1755
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:35,000
Maybe a little bit bigger.

1756
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:47,000
Armbrister's not sure of the side from George Sugar at third, re-checks.

1757
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:51,000
Now the right-hander steps back in.

1758
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:54,000
With a nothing and two pitch coming up, nobody out-runners at first and second.

1759
02:22:54,000 --> 02:22:59,000
Paul delivers a swing and a foul back on a play and a fastball.

1760
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:02,000
A day in advance, a happy birthday.

1761
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:07,000
The young Tom Greyer from Sugar Grove and Jim Leichness from Newark.

1762
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:15,000
Both will be celebrating birthdays tomorrow, while the Cubs will be opening their road trip at Houston.

1763
02:23:15,000 --> 02:23:21,000
The strikes, the 0-2 delivery, curve, strike free call.

1764
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:30,000
Pinch hitter, Ed Armbrister, set up to sacrifice, couldn't do it, and is caught looking at strike three.

1765
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:33,000
He's gone away.

1766
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:36,000
That for Paul is his first strike out of the day.

1767
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:41,000
Herman Franks may be going to make two changes now, as Pete Rose is going to be the hitter,

1768
02:23:41,000 --> 02:23:46,000
followed by left-hander Skrippy and Morgan, and he has Hernandez ready in the bullpen,

1769
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:52,000
bringing out his lineup card as he's talking with Minerwald and Paul Ruschel on the mound.

1770
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:59,000
And Andy Olson, played umpire, beckoned to by Herman, but he wants to give him his changes.

1771
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:05,000
We are in the seventh inning at Brigby Field. There have been a total of 27 base hits so far.

1772
02:24:05,000 --> 02:24:10,000
Eight home runs.

1773
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:13,000
I'm sorry, seven home runs.

1774
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:16,000
Four by Cincy.

1775
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:24,000
But don't go away. The score, Cincinnati 11, the Chicago Cubs 10, while Willie Hernandez comes in.

1776
02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:29,000
Let's take time out for this message.

1777
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:35,000
You know lawns come in many shapes and sizes, so do lawn chief mowers from True Value Hardware Store.

1778
02:24:35,000 --> 02:24:40,000
They offer a complete line of gas and electric power mowers and heavy-duty lawn tractors

1779
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:46,000
in sizes from every type of lawn, from a small city lot to a sprawling country estate.

1780
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:53,000
For average-sized lawns, they offer rotary mowers and self-propelled models with 18 to 22-inch cutting widths,

1781
02:24:53,000 --> 02:25:01,000
plus a high wheel power for rough, bumpy areas and a rear bagger model that mows easily in narrow places.

1782
02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:06,000
To cut big lawns down to size, you'll find lawn chief riding mowers and heavy-duty tractors

1783
02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:12,000
with 25 and 36-inch cutting widths, forward and reverse speeds, and many other features.

1784
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:16,000
True Value Hardware Stores own their own lawn chief mower factory,

1785
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:21,000
where they design and manufacture their lawn chief mowers to exacting standards

1786
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:26,000
with performance, convenience, and user safety in mind.

1787
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:30,000
So no matter what size lawn you own, you'll find a matching lawn chief mower

1788
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:35,000
exclusively at participating True Value Hardware Stores.

1789
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:48,000
One of your netties worked in both games with a double-hunter yesterday,

1790
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:54,000
and he's going to face Pete Ross with Cincinnati runners at first and second.

1791
02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:56,000
One away.

1792
02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:05,000
Barbara Ohm's family.

1793
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:07,000
They are from Beardsdale, Illinois.

1794
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:11,000
That they cut us is just outside of Decatur.

1795
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:15,000
And they sent up a peacock, brother, from their peacock.

1796
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:20,000
How about that? Brother Roach is going to be 13 tomorrow,

1797
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:25,000
and Ann says she's going to be 14 tomorrow.

1798
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:29,000
Well, happy birthday to both.

1799
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:38,000
Well, it's batting right-handed.

1800
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:41,000
A homer and a single today for the veteran.

1801
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:47,000
Runners at first and second, Hernandez first pitch, a slight call to the fastball defeat.

1802
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:52,000
His homer was his seventh of the year.

1803
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:59,000
That triggered the fireworks, led off the ball game against Ray Burris.

1804
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:04,000
Willie checks the runner, delivers, outside, and low ball one-strike one.

1805
02:27:04,000 --> 02:27:11,000
Move that conception, looking back towards the bag at second.

1806
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:21,000
Sensi with 15 hits, the Cubs with 12, and the Reds with a one-run lead, 11 to 10.

1807
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:23,000
Seventh inning.

1808
02:27:23,000 --> 02:27:25,000
One-one pitch, runners go.

1809
02:27:25,000 --> 02:27:29,000
It's low, and Middlewell can't find a handle on it, it's into the dirt.

1810
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:33,000
And they have runners at second and third.

1811
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:38,000
Phil Concepcion gets his 23rd stolen base of the year,

1812
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:44,000
and Mike Lum winds up with a stolen base.

1813
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:49,000
And that for Mike is his second.

1814
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:54,000
Now the infield will be coming in, and the Jesus on the left side,

1815
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:58,000
right up on the edge of the grass, they're going to put the rows on intentionally now,

1816
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:03,000
after the double-fifth, and hopefully they can be able to come up with a double play ball.

1817
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:07,000
When Willie came in, Cattahar came in to play second,

1818
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:10,000
and he'll be batting in the ninth spot in the batting order,

1819
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:16,000
with Willie batting where Manny Creo was.

1820
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:24,000
The walk issue to Pete Rose, to load him up for Ken Griffey.

1821
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:30,000
Two singles and a homer for Griffey this afternoon.

1822
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:35,000
He has eight hits in the series, in 16 at bats.

1823
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:39,000
The homer was the left-hander's ninth of the year.

1824
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:43,000
Infield hoping for a double play ball, Hernandez winds the pitch,

1825
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:56,000
and he's hung on, and he fouls it, comes back on the line of the plate and third.

1826
02:28:56,000 --> 02:29:01,000
These teams are four homers away from tying a Major League record.

1827
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:09,000
A home runs and a ball game by both clubs.

1828
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:13,000
Willie gets his sign from Middlewall, looks at the runner at third, delivers.

1829
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:22,000
Griffey takes it high, ball one, strike one.

1830
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:26,000
While we'll be on the road at Houston and Cincinnati,

1831
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:31,000
following this ball game today, Cubs then will be coming back to take on San Diego.

1832
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:34,000
Here's a swing and a ground ball right side, Cattahar dives,

1833
02:29:34,000 --> 02:29:39,000
it's in the right field, can set the honor scoring, here comes Spike Glob to the plate to throw to second.

1834
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:42,000
He slides, he is safe for second base.

1835
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:55,000
Bobbi Mercer wound up only about 60 feet out on the outfield grass on the right side after Cattahar dove head-length out of the infield dirt to get that ball that barely got by him.

1836
02:29:55,000 --> 02:29:59,000
And Griffey with his excellent speed, seeing that, figured he could leg it out.

1837
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:14,000
He is now about in his third and fourth runs of the day and the Reds have a three-run lead, 14 to 10.

1838
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:17,000
He now has two singles, a double and a homer today.

1839
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:31,000
He'll wind up in the pitch to Morgan, the infield end, and he takes, it's a strike.

1840
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:33,000
Wind up the delivery.

1841
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:39,000
Morgan lays off and it misses outside of the knees, the left-hander, one and one.

1842
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:45,000
Wind may be blowing out in New York and Boston today too.

1843
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:47,000
Morgan runs there.

1844
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:52,000
One-one pitch, gets under it, fouls it back into the upper deck.

1845
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:55,000
One and two on Morgan.

1846
02:30:55,000 --> 02:31:00,000
He has a single and a double.

1847
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:03,000
Everybody in near batting order.

1848
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:06,000
It's at least one hit.

1849
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:10,000
And only Johnnie mentioned, Geronimo had just one, one-two pitch.

1850
02:31:10,000 --> 02:31:14,000
Swung out and missed a good curveball down and away.

1851
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:21,000
The tennis man.

1852
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:25,000
What the score, 13 to 10.

1853
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:33,000
George Foster will be the hitter.

1854
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:36,000
Leading homer on hitter.

1855
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:49,000
But they're going to put him on to load up the bases and take their chances with Johnnie Bench.

1856
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:53,000
Yep, that's ball one.

1857
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:56,000
And then that's a one, Jeff Foster.

1858
02:31:56,000 --> 02:31:59,000
Some of the crowd doesn't like it.

1859
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:10,000
A flying fan under the fire maybe, huh?

1860
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:19,000
Appreciate the nice letter from a good cup fan in Chicago from North Odell, Dick Flecky.

1861
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:29,000
I think that the Cubs in the next few weeks are going to start getting themselves more wins than losses,

1862
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:32,000
which of course has been their fate the last couple of weeks.

1863
02:32:32,000 --> 02:32:39,000
But he, like all good cup fans, are glad that the Cubs are still on top in that National League Eastern Division.

1864
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:45,000
It was two months ago today, May 28th, that the Cubs climbed in the first place,

1865
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:52,000
beating the Pittsburgh Pirates here at Whitley Field.

1866
02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:56,000
Something has been dropped down to the warning track out in left field below the bleachers.

1867
02:32:56,000 --> 02:32:58,000
Andy Olson, the playdump fire, is pointing out there.

1868
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:03,000
Larry Bittner is going up to pick it up.

1869
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:07,000
He picks it up, looks like a windbreaker, tossing it up into the bleacher fan.

1870
02:33:07,000 --> 02:33:10,000
He dropped it out there in left field.

1871
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:12,000
Good arm.

1872
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:15,000
The bench-stepping in.

1873
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:19,000
We run over for Johnny in the first inning, has walked twice and aligned hard.

1874
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:22,000
First pitch gets under it, hits a high fly ball.

1875
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:25,000
Mercer coming in, calling for the ball.

1876
02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:26,000
He's there, he's got it.

1877
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:28,000
The fly it and he's out.

1878
02:33:28,000 --> 02:33:34,000
And the offensive walk to George Foster pays off.

1879
02:33:34,000 --> 02:33:38,000
They send H.M. to the plate in the seventh inning.

1880
02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:42,000
Only one hit, a few runs for it.

1881
02:33:42,000 --> 02:33:46,000
Four walks, two of them in catchable and three men left.

1882
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:53,000
Well, it's time for the seventh inning stretch at Whitley Field.

1883
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:59,000
Well, I'm sure it's not too happy about the score, but they have high hopes as the Cubs come to bat at the bottom of the seventh inning.

1884
02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:04,000
With the score, the Cincinnati Reds 13, the Chicago Cubs hit.

1885
02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:05,000
Ready, people?

1886
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:06,000
Ready.

1887
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:08,000
Is everybody hungry?

1888
02:34:08,000 --> 02:34:09,000
Yes.

1889
02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:10,000
Where do you want to eat?

1890
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:11,000
Golden Bear.

1891
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:12,000
Why?

1892
02:34:12,000 --> 02:34:15,000
Because for hot summer days they got the best selection.

1893
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:16,000
Really?

1894
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:17,000
Do they have salads?

1895
02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:18,000
Sure.

1896
02:34:18,000 --> 02:34:21,000
Like a delicious shrimp salad?

1897
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:25,000
Yeah, and they have the Mama Golden Bear Salad too.

1898
02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:30,000
The one with ham, cheese, tomato and egg wedges on fresh lettuce with your choice of dressing?

1899
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:31,000
Right.

1900
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:34,000
I like salads in the summer.

1901
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:37,000
So do we. Does Golden Bear have ice cream?

1902
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:39,000
We like ice cream.

1903
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:45,000
Golden Bear has the fabulous Goldilocks Fairyland Fountain with Super Sundays and sodas.

1904
02:34:45,000 --> 02:34:48,000
And you should try the Goldilocks Dream Banana Split.

1905
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:50,000
We will. Good-bye.

1906
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:54,000
Hey, where are you all going?

1907
02:34:54,000 --> 02:35:04,000
Golden Bear, Golden Bear, honey of a bee, the swiffer is one, Golden Bear.

1908
02:35:12,000 --> 02:35:17,000
That city loves the Cubs. When all is said and done, the Cubs will still be number one.

1909
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:21,000
Cubs, we love you.

1910
02:35:21,000 --> 02:35:29,000
That's a friendly mailman from Rolling Meadows holding up that sign just below us.

1911
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:35,000
We've got a whole group from Rolling Meadows out here today, Little Leaguers.

1912
02:35:35,000 --> 02:35:40,000
Robert C. Heighton, Jr.

1913
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:42,000
Rolling Meadows Park District.

1914
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:48,000
A group of Cubs fans here today.

1915
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:52,000
George Winterwald, Palmer when he let off the second inning.

1916
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:53,000
Wind up.

1917
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:56,000
Manny Sarmiento, their new pitcher, and the first pitch is a strike.

1918
02:35:56,000 --> 02:36:03,000
Right-handed, when you're out there, and he got into yesterday's action.

1919
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:06,000
Slightly built little fellow, and he's got a pretty strong arm.

1920
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:08,000
Wind up the pitch.

1921
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:12,000
Into the dirt. Ball, one strike run.

1922
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:20,000
Four ball, five innings of work, seven hits, six strikeouts, a couple of walks and four runs.

1923
02:36:20,000 --> 02:36:24,000
Dale Murray started. There's a swing and a drive in the right field.

1924
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:29,000
Grippy coming out, he's there. Makes the head-high catch, and there's one out in the seventh inning.

1925
02:36:29,000 --> 02:36:33,000
That'll bring up Mick out of her, batting for the first time in a ballgame,

1926
02:36:33,000 --> 02:36:48,000
in the number nine spot, hitting 288 for the year.

1927
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:53,000
The Niles Little League Giants out here today, and boy do we want to congratulate that bunch.

1928
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:58,000
They posted 18 wins, no losses.

1929
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:03,000
Perfection. The Niles Little League Giants.

1930
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:07,000
Mick Dex in the first pitch is a strike to the right-hander.

1931
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:11,000
The coaches are out here with them, too, and they did a good job. Had to.

1932
02:37:11,000 --> 02:37:15,000
Al Pritzy, Jerry Kurtz, 0-1 delivery.

1933
02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:20,000
Sarmiento throws it into the dirt. Let's pause for station identification.

1934
02:37:20,000 --> 02:37:24,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

1935
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:32,000
WGN Radio Chicago, 82 degrees at Midway Airport at one minute before four.

1936
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:37,000
Bottom of the seventh, Sensei with a 13-to-10 lead.

1937
02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:42,000
There's a sowing fastball that he goes after. Fouls at bat up under the net.

1938
02:37:42,000 --> 02:37:46,000
Ball one, strike two.

1939
02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:51,000
The Aggies really want to ball them all today.

1940
02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:58,000
The Niles had beaten New York last night 6-4 in a big, big house at Yankee Stadium last night, about 47,000.

1941
02:37:58,000 --> 02:38:02,000
Today the Yankees came out a big winner, 14-2.

1942
02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:08,000
One-two pitch that goes after the fastball. Pops it foul. Johnny Bench has a play on the ball.

1943
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:15,000
He's got it. All he had to do was turn around, take about two steps.

1944
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:20,000
Two gone, and the bottom of the seventh bases a ref.

1945
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:24,000
Ron DeJesus doubled and scored in the first inning.

1946
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:34,000
After his double, Larry Bickner drew a walk, and Bill Buckner got his first home run at Wrigley Field in a club uniform.

1947
02:38:34,000 --> 02:38:38,000
He reached on an error in the second inning and scored.

1948
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:40,000
It's one for four today.

1949
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:51,000
Tom Fastball, low ball, or strike one, I'm sorry, off the corner to DeJesus.

1950
02:38:51,000 --> 02:39:03,000
Sarmando Wines, sidearm pitch, outside. Now it's one-on-one.

1951
02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:11,000
This guy looks like a strong wind would blow him right off the mound.

1952
02:39:11,000 --> 02:39:17,000
Wind up the pitch. DeJesus swings out in front of it, fouls it down the left field line.

1953
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:25,000
The Wendy's baseball team sitting behind home plate today.

1954
02:39:25,000 --> 02:39:37,000
Got their yellow caps on this afternoon with their coach, Darryl Brazel.

1955
02:39:37,000 --> 02:39:39,000
Cubs trailing by three runs.

1956
02:39:39,000 --> 02:39:46,000
D'Amietto's next pitch, a fast ball, is low, ball to strike two, with two gone.

1957
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:48,000
Bottom of the seventh inning.

1958
02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:55,000
Slowed down a little bit since that wild, wild first inning when the Reds batted around, put six runs on the board.

1959
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:01,000
The Cubs came back with four runs in the bottom of the inning.

1960
02:40:01,000 --> 02:40:05,000
Two-two pitch, strike, three called.

1961
02:40:05,000 --> 02:40:10,000
And Yvonne discussively whips the bat away.

1962
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:12,000
So the Cubs go down in order.

1963
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:17,000
In the bottom of the seventh inning, and at the end of seven here at Wrigley Field,

1964
02:40:17,000 --> 02:40:21,000
the Cincinnati Reds, 13, and the Cubs get.

1965
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:24,000
Today's politicians have nothing on George Borkowski.

1966
02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:32,000
The Guinness Book of World Records says old George shook 37,500 hands in 7 hours, 15 minutes, and 18 seconds.

1967
02:40:32,000 --> 02:40:36,000
He did it in London, England on February 22, 1967.

1968
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:40,000
The Guinness Book of World Records is chock full of these gripping tales.

1969
02:40:40,000 --> 02:40:45,000
Too bad Guinness doesn't have a section on big card dealers operating out of small towns.

1970
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:50,000
If they did, a page or two would have to be devoted to wild olds in Libertyville, Illinois.

1971
02:40:50,000 --> 02:40:54,000
That's because wilds selling new Oldsmobiles at a record-breaking pace.

1972
02:40:54,000 --> 02:41:01,000
People from all over Illinois have combined with neighboring states to make wild in Libertyville the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer.

1973
02:41:01,000 --> 02:41:03,000
What's wild got the others don't?

1974
02:41:03,000 --> 02:41:09,000
Why do smart shoppers come from far and wide to buy their new Oldsmobiles at wild in Libertyville?

1975
02:41:09,000 --> 02:41:13,000
The answer to the world's worst-kept secret awaits you in Libertyville, Illinois.

1976
02:41:13,000 --> 02:41:17,000
Home of wild olds, the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer.

1977
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:39,000
Well, not since 1969 is a three-game series drawn as many paid fans as this one has between the Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds.

1978
02:41:39,000 --> 02:41:44,000
A paid attendance today, 32,155.

1979
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:54,000
So the Cubs and the Reds in these three days have drawn 111,373.

1980
02:41:54,000 --> 02:42:09,000
The Cubs now, about 942,000, well, almost 943,000 at home for the year.

1981
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:19,000
Willie Hernandez winds, Geronimo swings in the first pitch, and Lofts went high and beat the right-center field, and it is gone!

1982
02:42:19,000 --> 02:42:24,000
Geronimo on the very first pitch of the inning.

1983
02:42:24,000 --> 02:42:32,000
Lofts is seventh home run of the year, and home run number five by the Reds this afternoon.

1984
02:42:32,000 --> 02:42:40,000
Now these two Cubs are only three runs away from tying a major big record.

1985
02:42:40,000 --> 02:42:47,000
And it was hit.

1986
02:42:47,000 --> 02:42:53,000
Now 14 to 10.

1987
02:42:53,000 --> 02:43:04,000
Stepping into the balance box, Dave Concepcioni takes the ball outside.

1988
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:07,000
He takes, there's the ball.

1989
02:43:07,000 --> 02:43:14,000
The five homers that the Reds have hit so far today are high this year in a ballgame.

1990
02:43:14,000 --> 02:43:19,000
Two of it, fastball taken for a strike at the letters.

1991
02:43:19,000 --> 02:43:26,000
They got three in the first inning, Rose, Bench, and Michael on off-ray burst.

1992
02:43:26,000 --> 02:43:33,000
Riffey, there's a swing and a high fly ball to Jerry Morales in center field, should be the first out.

1993
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:35,000
It is.

1994
02:43:35,000 --> 02:43:39,000
Ken Riffey let off the sixth inning with a homer off Paul Russell.

1995
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:47,000
Now Geronimo has let off the eighth inning with a homer off Fernandez.

1996
02:43:47,000 --> 02:43:56,000
Concepcioni's flat out to center field, and that will bring up Mike Lung, homered in the first inning with the man on.

1997
02:43:56,000 --> 02:44:02,000
It was after the first pitch, didn't have much of a cut, pops a foul ball, middle wall having a play on it, and he's got it.

1998
02:44:02,000 --> 02:44:08,000
Right in front of the box seats in the third-base side where the on-neck emblem is buried.

1999
02:44:08,000 --> 02:44:14,000
Now Manny Samuendo will be the hitter.

2000
02:44:14,000 --> 02:44:17,000
Boy, this is really a wild one.

2001
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:21,000
Cincinnati, 14, the Cubs, 10.

2002
02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:29,000
They have 17 hits.

2003
02:44:29,000 --> 02:44:32,000
Yeah, the wind has been blowing up.

2004
02:44:32,000 --> 02:44:40,000
Fabiano's swing, one-off for the Buckeye at first base, he gloves it, comes over, touches the bag, and back, retires the side.

2005
02:44:40,000 --> 02:44:43,000
So it didn't take long, but they pick up a run.

2006
02:44:43,000 --> 02:44:46,000
And Geronimo's seventh home run of the year.

2007
02:44:46,000 --> 02:44:52,000
The only hit nobody left on, the Cubs with six outs left in the ball game come up here in the bottom of the eighth inning.

2008
02:44:52,000 --> 02:45:00,000
Cincinnati, 14, the Chicago Cubs, 10.

2009
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:02,000
Heilermann's Old Style.

2010
02:45:02,000 --> 02:45:10,000
The legendary beer from God's country is a beer brewed with sparkling, pure Wisconsin spring water

2011
02:45:10,000 --> 02:45:17,000
in a traditional old-world way of pure brewing, double brewing, called coisening.

2012
02:45:17,000 --> 02:45:23,000
Coisening is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.

2013
02:45:23,000 --> 02:45:26,000
Most expensive because it takes more time.

2014
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:36,000
Heilermann's Old Style is one American premium beer that's still fully, that's fully coisened, naturally carbonated.

2015
02:45:36,000 --> 02:45:41,000
Coisening is what makes Old Style a great light beer.

2016
02:45:41,000 --> 02:45:46,000
Try Old Style and taste the difference coisening makes.

2017
02:45:46,000 --> 02:45:53,000
Old Style, pure brewed in God's country.

2018
02:45:53,000 --> 02:46:02,000
Heilermann Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

2019
02:46:02,000 --> 02:46:07,000
Well, let's see if the Cubs can start fighting the range again.

2020
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:12,000
They went down in order against this lightly built right-hander, Manny Sarmiento in the seventh.

2021
02:46:12,000 --> 02:46:19,000
Now we have Larry Bittner, Bill Bunker, and Bobby Mercer, all three left-handed hitters to go against him.

2022
02:46:19,000 --> 02:46:24,000
All right, and little blue girl, I hope you're enjoying it. We see the Wendy's team now.

2023
02:46:24,000 --> 02:46:31,000
They've got uniforms on. Their shirts are just like those of the Houston Astros, just exactly.

2024
02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:35,000
I wonder how it comes.

2025
02:46:35,000 --> 02:46:43,000
I must have a ball game to play tonight.

2026
02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:45,000
Well, come on Larry, you have two hits today.

2027
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:57,000
That gives us three walks. Sarmiento's first pitchers' stride, but if it eases the crowd, it begins to open up.

2028
02:46:57,000 --> 02:47:04,000
Little right-hander in the bow, wind up the pitch, run-up, bow-ball by the first base line.

2029
02:47:04,000 --> 02:47:13,000
We'll wait just a moment. Bada Bada might have a chance to be in there.

2030
02:47:13,000 --> 02:47:21,000
Group of 37 here today from the Christian Reformed Church in German Valley, Illinois.

2031
02:47:21,000 --> 02:47:34,000
Among the more than 33,000 total in attendance, a total of 33,286.

2032
02:47:34,000 --> 02:47:41,000
Manny and Olajicid, as he gets his sign, the right-hander's next pitch high and outside, one or two re-wasted.

2033
02:47:41,000 --> 02:47:55,000
Ritz-Hawks want Milwaukee, 12-5. Yankees we said, but Baltimore 14-2.

2034
02:47:55,000 --> 02:47:58,000
Wind up one-two-three. Fastball here to get back out the way.

2035
02:47:58,000 --> 02:48:01,000
They're almost hitting the legs, two-two-count.

2036
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:07,000
The Summer Park Playground group from South Haven, Michigan, with 80 youngsters are here.

2037
02:48:07,000 --> 02:48:11,000
There it comes all the way.

2038
02:48:11,000 --> 02:48:21,000
And with the Playground leaders, Chip Foster, who got his mom along, helps lead the cheers.

2039
02:48:21,000 --> 02:48:25,000
Two-two-fifth. One-hound bouncing ball, base hit in the right field.

2040
02:48:25,000 --> 02:48:37,000
Josh Mads, the first base to land the trick for his mom, with his third hit of the ball.

2041
02:48:37,000 --> 02:48:44,000
Now the batter will be Bill Bucknum, who had a three-round homer in the first inning.

2042
02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:50,000
Bottom of Bill's third homer on this year, his first two have come on the roll.

2043
02:48:50,000 --> 02:49:03,000
Since then, he has flied up twice to right and hit one-feet to the center fielder, Geronimo.

2044
02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:07,000
Back to the clock, they're 13 to the day.

2045
02:49:07,000 --> 02:49:11,000
Danny Farmiano from the stretch.

2046
02:49:11,000 --> 02:49:15,000
Bucknum looking like he was going to try to push him up, but he's not going.

2047
02:49:15,000 --> 02:49:25,000
He just wanted to see what Rose would do, and a pitch was a strike.

2048
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:29,000
Le'Ann Houston tomorrow night.

2049
02:49:29,000 --> 02:49:35,000
Start the road trip again on Saturday night, then Sunday afternoon, then over to Cincy.

2050
02:49:35,000 --> 02:49:42,000
Oh, one delivery coming up. Bucknum, pitch, strike, a fastball, then a high and away from it.

2051
02:49:42,000 --> 02:49:45,000
He's not very happy with that call.

2052
02:49:45,000 --> 02:49:50,000
Andy Olson working beyond the plate. Bucknum's going to get out of there for a moment.

2053
02:49:50,000 --> 02:49:53,000
Vince Lloyd and Luke Woodrow here with you.

2054
02:49:53,000 --> 02:49:57,000
Seems to me there have been a lot of those calls, Luke, and Andy today, as given to the pitcher.

2055
02:49:57,000 --> 02:50:03,000
They've been working on the outside of all the left-handed hitters.

2056
02:50:03,000 --> 02:50:08,000
It's the pitch, of course. Can't do much with it if you swing at it.

2057
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:12,000
It's out in front of Bucknum, 0-2 delivery, gets under it and fouls it back.

2058
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:14,000
It's going to be out of play.

2059
02:50:14,000 --> 02:50:23,000
Vincent Wheeld hoping to be able to get under it, but way back, just below our broadcasting booth.

2060
02:50:23,000 --> 02:50:30,000
Lafayette, Indiana, central Presbyterian churches here today.

2061
02:50:30,000 --> 02:50:36,000
Kepline, Indiana, setback number 31-51.

2062
02:50:36,000 --> 02:50:44,000
Boy, it would be nice to bail this one out. It's 14-10, since he's a thinning.

2063
02:50:44,000 --> 02:50:49,000
What a head as a champ. Lafayette's pitchfucker takes the fastball.

2064
02:50:49,000 --> 02:50:52,000
This time he gets the call.

2065
02:50:52,000 --> 02:50:58,000
Ball one, strike two, high and away.

2066
02:50:58,000 --> 02:51:05,000
Everybody in the Cubs starting lineup today, including the starting pitcher, has at least one hit.

2067
02:51:05,000 --> 02:51:10,000
Laverse was not in the scene long.

2068
02:51:10,000 --> 02:51:17,000
Lafayette already, little guy fires, Bucknum swings, drive, right field, it's 12, back, back, back.

2069
02:51:17,000 --> 02:51:26,000
Hey, that is a foul there. 14-12, Bucknum's second over of the year.

2070
02:51:26,000 --> 02:51:48,000
There he is today.

2071
02:51:48,000 --> 02:51:54,000
Ah, what's that? He does foul, gets on home plate.

2072
02:51:54,000 --> 02:51:58,000
A snarkar flew out of here on that one. We didn't even notice it.

2073
02:51:58,000 --> 02:52:01,000
There's some fans right below us here.

2074
02:52:01,000 --> 02:52:04,000
The mothers with transistors radio saying it belongs up here.

2075
02:52:04,000 --> 02:52:10,000
Yeah, stars. Thank you guys. That's all right, finish the beer.

2076
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:12,000
Don't spill the beer.

2077
02:52:12,000 --> 02:52:15,000
Come on up, buddy, get a pizza from Malnati's pizza.

2078
02:52:15,000 --> 02:52:20,000
Yeah, move Malnati, send a little pizza. Yes, you can come up too.

2079
02:52:20,000 --> 02:52:25,000
Malnati is pretty as you if you're allowed up here, I guarantee it.

2080
02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:35,000
Billy Buckner is second home run of the day.

2081
02:52:35,000 --> 02:52:38,000
It is now 14-12.

2082
02:52:38,000 --> 02:52:52,000
With a fair, fair runs to lead. Mercer takes, there is a ball.

2083
02:52:52,000 --> 02:53:04,000
The count is 101. Four home runs by the Cubs today.

2084
02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:14,000
Darmiano's next pitch. Mercer gets under, fouls it back up on the screen.

2085
02:53:14,000 --> 02:53:23,000
Buckner now with four homers and the five runs by the din in this ballgame, giving 29 for the year.

2086
02:53:23,000 --> 02:53:29,000
Darmiano was out in front of him.

2087
02:53:29,000 --> 02:53:35,000
Anything can happen. Here is a swing and a miss for strike three, including a strike out.

2088
02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:42,000
And I say anything can happen.

2089
02:53:42,000 --> 02:53:47,000
One gone in the bottom of the eighth inning and Jerry Morales will be the hitter.

2090
02:53:47,000 --> 02:53:52,000
He was the last Cub in the starting lineup today to get a base hit.

2091
02:53:52,000 --> 02:53:54,000
Singled with two out in the sixth inning.

2092
02:53:54,000 --> 02:53:59,000
And out of errors through a walk, but the inning ended on a pop-up in the shadow right field.

2093
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:05,000
Mani, Jerry, one for four today. Takes the first pitch.

2094
02:54:05,000 --> 02:54:09,000
Into close the fastball.

2095
02:54:09,000 --> 02:54:16,000
Blue suitor, Pete Roburg, a throwing in the cup open.

2096
02:54:16,000 --> 02:54:20,000
Wind up the one-oh did every swing on.

2097
02:54:20,000 --> 02:54:24,000
There's a deep drive. Left field it is.

2098
02:54:24,000 --> 02:54:28,000
Oh, look at that. Out of the ballpark, under the left field wall.

2099
02:54:28,000 --> 02:54:36,000
It is now the red 14, the Chicago Cubs 13, Jerry Morales.

2100
02:54:36,000 --> 02:54:41,000
Makes a deep wide turn at the shortstop position, circling the baseman.

2101
02:54:41,000 --> 02:54:44,000
He is hitting a standing ovation.

2102
02:54:44,000 --> 02:54:59,000
There you are. We'll let you ring the bell.

2103
02:54:59,000 --> 02:55:06,000
We want to thank you very much for bringing the scorecard up.

2104
02:55:06,000 --> 02:55:08,000
Thank you for letting me do it.

2105
02:55:08,000 --> 02:55:09,000
You are?

2106
02:55:09,000 --> 02:55:12,000
Ann Chamberlain from Wolcott, Indiana.

2107
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:13,000
And who's with you?

2108
02:55:13,000 --> 02:55:15,000
My father, Max Chamberlain.

2109
02:55:15,000 --> 02:55:17,000
Max, got a beautiful broader here.

2110
02:55:17,000 --> 02:55:18,000
Thank you.

2111
02:55:18,000 --> 02:55:20,000
Thank you for bringing it alive.

2112
02:55:20,000 --> 02:55:21,000
I enjoyed the game very much.

2113
02:55:21,000 --> 02:55:22,000
Is it wild?

2114
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:23,000
Yes, it is.

2115
02:55:23,000 --> 02:55:26,000
Ann, this is your first trip to Wrigley Field, Ann.

2116
02:55:26,000 --> 02:55:30,000
No, it's good. I just love it up here. It's a beautiful field.

2117
02:55:30,000 --> 02:55:33,000
Yes, it is. Thank you so very, very much.

2118
02:55:33,000 --> 02:55:35,000
Good night and relax.

2119
02:55:35,000 --> 02:55:38,000
The hitter, Steve Montabass.

2120
02:55:38,000 --> 02:55:43,000
Fastball outside. He has taken the first one for a ball.

2121
02:55:43,000 --> 02:55:49,000
Jerry Morales with his eighth home run of the year.

2122
02:55:49,000 --> 02:55:56,000
Let me tell you, it's hard to believe what is going on here today.

2123
02:55:56,000 --> 02:56:01,000
Jerry's left the ballpark.

2124
02:56:01,000 --> 02:56:04,000
Second straight hit.

2125
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:10,000
The second home run off to the end of the evening, and there is ball three.

2126
02:56:10,000 --> 02:56:17,000
The Cubs with 15 hits, five home runs.

2127
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:22,000
Cincinnati with 17 hits, five home runs.

2128
02:56:22,000 --> 02:56:31,000
And these two clubs now are one homer away from tying a major league record.

2129
02:56:31,000 --> 02:56:37,000
They may not only tie it, they may bust it wide open.

2130
02:56:37,000 --> 02:56:39,000
Three-oh dinner race.

2131
02:56:39,000 --> 02:56:45,000
Montabass takes ball four.

2132
02:56:45,000 --> 02:57:00,000
Jackie Anderson puts his head down, paces back and forth in that dugout on the first base side.

2133
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:04,000
This is the spot where the pitcher, Willie Hernandez, is due to bat.

2134
02:57:04,000 --> 02:57:10,000
When Herman made a double change back in the seventh inning,

2135
02:57:10,000 --> 02:57:14,000
he put Hernandez in three-oh spot and brought Kebba her in,

2136
02:57:14,000 --> 02:57:24,000
hit in the number nine position, because Mc was going to be the second batter that way in the seventh inning.

2137
02:57:24,000 --> 02:57:30,000
Now, Greg Gross is going to bat, and Sparky has a left-hander throwing in a hurry.

2138
02:57:30,000 --> 02:57:32,000
That looks like Joe Horner down there, Lou, isn't it?

2139
02:57:32,000 --> 02:57:37,000
It is Joe Horner, but Sparky also knows that Cardenal is available.

2140
02:57:37,000 --> 02:57:39,000
Yeah.

2141
02:57:39,000 --> 02:57:47,000
Who do you want, Sarmiento against Greg Gross or Joe Horner against Jose Cardenal?

2142
02:57:47,000 --> 02:57:55,000
Ten home runs at Wrigley Field so far today.

2143
02:57:55,000 --> 02:57:57,000
Now I see Joe Wallace coming out.

2144
02:57:57,000 --> 02:58:02,000
Gross apparently was in the on-back circle, but he was not announced, I don't think.

2145
02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:04,000
That was a fake.

2146
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:11,000
Now this Wallace is announced right now.

2147
02:58:11,000 --> 02:58:30,000
The strategy there, of course, Wallace is a switch-hitter.

2148
02:58:30,000 --> 02:58:35,000
Well, I tell you, this is not the kind of a game for the baseball purists.

2149
02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:40,000
But let me tell you, it's a whole heck of a lot of fun.

2150
02:58:40,000 --> 02:58:42,000
I think you can come out on top.

2151
02:58:42,000 --> 02:58:44,000
Oh, yeah.

2152
02:58:44,000 --> 02:58:45,000
Oh, we're going to win it.

2153
02:58:45,000 --> 02:58:50,000
We're going to win it now.

2154
02:58:50,000 --> 02:58:53,000
Here comes Larry Shepard out of the dugout again.

2155
02:58:53,000 --> 02:59:06,000
Sarmiento has been keeping loose out there while Cubs have been having a little cat-and-mouse game.

2156
02:59:06,000 --> 02:59:14,000
Now, as we told you earlier, Bruce Suter and Pete Kroberg have been throwing in the cup bullpen.

2157
02:59:14,000 --> 02:59:16,000
Neither is up now.

2158
02:59:16,000 --> 02:59:20,000
There's one out.

2159
02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:27,000
The score, 14 to 13 in favor of the Cincinnati Reds.

2160
02:59:27,000 --> 02:59:31,000
The Cubs at the bottom of the eighth inning.

2161
02:59:31,000 --> 02:59:36,000
Bittner, open with his third hit of the day, a single to right.

2162
02:59:36,000 --> 02:59:40,000
Buckner brought him in with his second home run of the day.

2163
02:59:40,000 --> 02:59:51,000
Mercer's banned, but Morales got his second straight hit, a home run his eighth of the day.

2164
02:59:51,000 --> 02:59:55,000
Sarmiento, obviously shaken, walked on the bears and forth pitches.

2165
02:59:55,000 --> 03:00:00,000
Now, Charles Wallace stepping in as a pinch-hitter.

2166
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:02,000
Bittner in the hill from the stretch.

2167
03:00:02,000 --> 03:00:08,000
Wallace takes the hit to strike.

2168
03:00:08,000 --> 03:00:13,000
As a pinch-hitter, Wallace is 0-8.

2169
03:00:13,000 --> 03:00:16,000
But he's drawn a few walks as a pinch-hitter.

2170
03:00:16,000 --> 03:00:21,000
After the year, he's batting 290.

2171
03:00:21,000 --> 03:00:23,000
The stretch by Sarmiento.

2172
03:00:23,000 --> 03:00:27,000
The pitch, Wallace swings at a high, hot foul.

2173
03:00:27,000 --> 03:00:31,000
Rose has room in foul territory, he's got it.

2174
03:00:31,000 --> 03:00:33,000
Snatches it out of the air with those two hands.

2175
03:00:33,000 --> 03:00:39,000
Difficult pick, Rose catch.

2176
03:00:39,000 --> 03:00:42,000
Wallace makes the second out of the inning.

2177
03:00:42,000 --> 03:00:50,000
And here is George Middelwald, who let off the second inning with a homer, his seventh of the year.

2178
03:00:50,000 --> 03:00:55,000
He has won for four today.

2179
03:00:55,000 --> 03:01:03,000
This has got to be one of the craziest ballgames of all time.

2180
03:01:03,000 --> 03:01:05,000
Stretch the pitch.

2181
03:01:05,000 --> 03:01:06,000
One-nine.

2182
03:01:06,000 --> 03:01:09,000
Bates drive down the left field line, should be a base hit.

2183
03:01:09,000 --> 03:01:10,000
It is!

2184
03:01:10,000 --> 03:01:11,000
Boys, back to base.

2185
03:01:11,000 --> 03:01:13,000
Out of air, it's coming around third.

2186
03:01:13,000 --> 03:01:14,000
Lowry has to hold him up.

2187
03:01:14,000 --> 03:01:18,000
Middelwald is in with a double.

2188
03:01:18,000 --> 03:01:21,000
Good quick feeling by George Foster.

2189
03:01:21,000 --> 03:01:25,000
Boy, I wish that ball had gotten away from him low, we could have tied up the ballgame.

2190
03:01:25,000 --> 03:01:26,000
Yes, indeed.

2191
03:01:26,000 --> 03:01:35,000
That would have been a great job by Middelwald on that line, but credit Foster with a great play.

2192
03:01:35,000 --> 03:01:37,000
That's a tough one to handle.

2193
03:01:37,000 --> 03:01:39,000
He backhanded it.

2194
03:01:39,000 --> 03:01:42,000
That's where the foul line is almost at the wall.

2195
03:01:42,000 --> 03:01:46,000
He pushed himself off that wall where the rubber cushions are.

2196
03:01:46,000 --> 03:01:52,000
Gave himself a little extra leverage as he wheeled and fired perfectly on a line to third.

2197
03:01:52,000 --> 03:01:59,000
And Lowry, seeing that excellent bit of defensive work by the Reds left fielder, had to hold up Voltaveras.

2198
03:01:59,000 --> 03:02:04,000
He had a bit of dead duck if he had tried to score.

2199
03:02:04,000 --> 03:02:08,000
So it's a double for Middelwald, his second hit of the ballgame.

2200
03:02:08,000 --> 03:02:13,000
Now the Cubs have the time run at third, the go-ahead run at second.

2201
03:02:13,000 --> 03:02:17,000
And Greg Ross is now officially announced as a pinch hitter.

2202
03:02:17,000 --> 03:02:23,000
And Sparky Anderson has veteran Joe Horner still throwing in a bullpen.

2203
03:02:23,000 --> 03:02:29,000
Joe, of course, is a fellow who was a pitching coach at Indianapolis for the Cincinnati Reds.

2204
03:02:29,000 --> 03:02:32,000
He was doing a little pitching down there this year.

2205
03:02:32,000 --> 03:02:39,000
When they really got the shorts in the pitching department, they brought him up to the Major League Club and activated him full-time as a pitcher.

2206
03:02:39,000 --> 03:02:44,000
He originally is from Dubuque, Iowa, been a well-traveled guy, and he's a veteran.

2207
03:02:44,000 --> 03:02:58,000
But he's not going to bring him into this spot because they're going to walk Greg Ross intentionally to load the bases with two guards.

2208
03:02:58,000 --> 03:03:04,000
Now Ross is batting for Kelleher here.

2209
03:03:04,000 --> 03:03:12,000
Well, the Cubs issued an intentional walk to George Foster.

2210
03:03:12,000 --> 03:03:16,000
The Reds had runners at first and second with two guards.

2211
03:03:16,000 --> 03:03:21,000
While Foster at bat on a pitch into the dirt, both men were going.

2212
03:03:21,000 --> 03:03:23,000
It resulted in a double steal.

2213
03:03:23,000 --> 03:03:30,000
Then the Cubs decided they would put Foster on intentionally with first base open after the double steal.

2214
03:03:30,000 --> 03:03:39,000
And that paid off because the next hitter, Johnny Binch, went after the first pitch and popped it up into Shadow right field to retire the side.

2215
03:03:39,000 --> 03:03:43,000
Now an intentional walk to Yvonne DeJesus.

2216
03:03:43,000 --> 03:03:49,000
Well, we'll bring up Yvonne DeJesus.

2217
03:03:49,000 --> 03:04:00,000
Although Harmon, taking a look down in his bench, said something that brought a big friend to Jose Cardinal's face, and Jose gets up laughing.

2218
03:04:00,000 --> 03:04:05,000
Harmon said something to her that busted him up completely.

2219
03:04:05,000 --> 03:04:10,000
That's just one of the remarkable things about the Cubs skipper this year, Herman Frank.

2220
03:04:10,000 --> 03:04:16,000
Here you are in a ball game. He's got a slender lead of a game and a half in the division.

2221
03:04:16,000 --> 03:04:23,000
That's just one of those seesaw back and forth jobs. Everybody gets up there, seems to be swinging from the heels.

2222
03:04:23,000 --> 03:04:30,000
He's trailing in the ball game and he goes down the bench and he puts up with Cardinal that cracked him up completely.

2223
03:04:30,000 --> 03:04:46,000
So you've got a pretty loose Jose coming out as a contender for Yvonne DeJesus.

2224
03:04:46,000 --> 03:04:50,000
Hard.

2225
03:04:50,000 --> 03:04:56,000
Well, he still hasn't used Gene Klein.

2226
03:04:56,000 --> 03:05:02,000
Davey Rosano, of course, is still available. It's a short stop. Swisher's available to do some catching.

2227
03:05:02,000 --> 03:05:09,000
But Beniwold is still in the ball game.

2228
03:05:09,000 --> 03:05:15,000
Jose, as a pinch hitter this year, has a remarkably good record.

2229
03:05:15,000 --> 03:05:24,000
He's been called upon officially 11 times and has six hits as a pinch hitter, six for 11, with two runs putted in.

2230
03:05:24,000 --> 03:05:29,000
Now, of course, he had been on the disabled list for quite a while.

2231
03:05:29,000 --> 03:05:34,000
And when he came off, I don't know, he might have been hitting a little over 100.

2232
03:05:34,000 --> 03:05:38,000
But since coming off the disabled list, and listen to the.

2233
03:05:38,000 --> 03:05:45,000
Oh, how this squeaks his name as it's pronounced by Demi Enright.

2234
03:05:45,000 --> 03:05:52,000
He has 16 for 54 since coming off the disabled list.

2235
03:05:52,000 --> 03:05:56,000
He's been stinging the ball.

2236
03:05:56,000 --> 03:06:00,000
So we're in the bottom of the eighth. The score, Cincinnati, 14.

2237
03:06:00,000 --> 03:06:04,000
The Chicago Cubs, 13. And I'm not kidding you, that's a real score.

2238
03:06:04,000 --> 03:06:07,000
Two outs, the bases loaded.

2239
03:06:07,000 --> 03:06:12,000
Cardinal's bat is being inspected by Andy Olson.

2240
03:06:12,000 --> 03:06:18,000
Jose folded his hand, bottle played up by our inspected. And he says, yeah, I guess it's legal. Go ahead.

2241
03:06:18,000 --> 03:06:24,000
I can't believe this day.

2242
03:06:24,000 --> 03:06:28,000
He's the ninth cup to come to the plate in the eighth inning.

2243
03:06:28,000 --> 03:06:31,000
Wind up the pitch. Takes. Strike.

2244
03:06:31,000 --> 03:06:44,000
At the knees in the inside corner. Perfect pitch by Sarmiotto.

2245
03:06:44,000 --> 03:06:49,000
Right hander working from a wind up. Here's the pitch.

2246
03:06:49,000 --> 03:06:53,000
Takes. Strike. And Sarmiotto hits the outside corner.

2247
03:06:53,000 --> 03:06:56,000
You talk about pinpoint placement.

2248
03:06:56,000 --> 03:07:00,000
The first pitch is strike, knee high, barely nicked the inside edge.

2249
03:07:00,000 --> 03:07:04,000
The second one barely catching the outside corner at the knees.

2250
03:07:04,000 --> 03:07:08,000
Jose is in the hole, nothing in two with two out the bases loaded.

2251
03:07:08,000 --> 03:07:15,000
Defending 14 to 13 Cincinnati. Wind up the pitch.

2252
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:26,000
Takes the fastball that misses outside. He wasted it. One and two.

2253
03:07:26,000 --> 03:07:33,000
So far only 33 hits.

2254
03:07:33,000 --> 03:07:38,000
After the Cubs, five home runs for Cincinnati, five home runs. And now,

2255
03:07:38,000 --> 03:07:41,000
by the now, let's ask Andy Olson to take a look at the ball.

2256
03:07:41,000 --> 03:07:55,000
He finally gets Sarmiotto's attention. Gets the ball. Decides to, okay, keeps it in play.

2257
03:07:55,000 --> 03:08:02,000
So the drama continues to wind up the pitch. Swung out a drive foul into the box each down the right field line.

2258
03:08:02,000 --> 03:08:12,000
All one, strike two.

2259
03:08:12,000 --> 03:08:16,000
Concepcion coming over to say something to Sarmiotto.

2260
03:08:16,000 --> 03:08:19,000
The tying run, steam out of airs at third.

2261
03:08:19,000 --> 03:08:23,000
George Minerwald, the go ahead run is at second.

2262
03:08:23,000 --> 03:08:30,000
On at first base, pinch hitter, Greg Rose, who has walked intentionally.

2263
03:08:30,000 --> 03:08:34,000
Now Jose Cardinal with a chance to be a hero again.

2264
03:08:34,000 --> 03:08:46,000
The wind up on the one, two pitch. High ball, two strike two. Rising fastball.

2265
03:08:46,000 --> 03:08:56,000
Oh man. You've got to love this kind of a game.

2266
03:08:56,000 --> 03:09:00,000
The Reds, you know, got six runs in the first inning. They batted around.

2267
03:09:00,000 --> 03:09:04,000
Two two pitch. Swung out a high flat ball.

2268
03:09:04,000 --> 03:09:06,000
Unless it's a miracle.

2269
03:09:06,000 --> 03:09:08,000
Byde is going to be retired, no miracle.

2270
03:09:08,000 --> 03:09:12,000
Geronimo Plotter.

2271
03:09:12,000 --> 03:09:17,000
Three runs in the eighth inning.

2272
03:09:17,000 --> 03:09:22,000
Four base hits. Two homers, one double and a single.

2273
03:09:22,000 --> 03:09:25,000
Two walks, one intentional. Three men left on.

2274
03:09:25,000 --> 03:09:29,000
So at the end of eight full innings of play, don't you go away.

2275
03:09:29,000 --> 03:09:33,000
Cincinnati coming to bat, they lead 14 to 15.

2276
03:09:33,000 --> 03:09:38,000
Friends, now you can water your lawn without watering your house, your driveway and your guests.

2277
03:09:38,000 --> 03:09:43,000
Just go to your True Value hardware store and get a multi-pattern lawn sprinkler.

2278
03:09:43,000 --> 03:09:47,000
That's designed to keep the water on your lawn, not on your house.

2279
03:09:47,000 --> 03:09:52,000
Dear friends, like the Nelson Poppy three arm sprinkler, it will swatters in squares.

2280
03:09:52,000 --> 03:09:58,000
So you can water right up to the edge of your yard without sprinkling the sidewalk or the house.

2281
03:09:58,000 --> 03:10:02,000
True Value hardware stores also have the Nelson Beta impulse sprinkler.

2282
03:10:02,000 --> 03:10:06,000
It has more sprinkling patterns than the standard revolving model.

2283
03:10:06,000 --> 03:10:10,000
So it gets those hard to reach spots without wasting water on the house.

2284
03:10:10,000 --> 03:10:14,000
Now you can water your lawn without watering your house and guests.

2285
03:10:14,000 --> 03:10:20,000
Get Nelson multi-pattern lawn sprinkler at participating True Value hardware stores.

2286
03:10:20,000 --> 03:10:25,000
True Value hardware is more than just a name.

2287
03:10:25,000 --> 03:10:33,000
It's a way of doing things that feel true value.

2288
03:10:33,000 --> 03:10:50,000
Well, first hitter, making his first defense is just prior to the all-star break.

2289
03:10:50,000 --> 03:10:57,000
He's thrown some on the sidelines yesterday, and during the ball game he was warming up.

2290
03:10:57,000 --> 03:11:06,000
Now he is in as the relief pitcher in this 99th game of the season for the Cubs.

2291
03:11:06,000 --> 03:11:19,000
Those five wins, one loss, he has worked 81 innings, has 24 saves.

2292
03:11:19,000 --> 03:11:25,000
Davey Rizzotto is the new shortstop.

2293
03:11:25,000 --> 03:11:31,000
And the guest was playing second base.

2294
03:11:31,000 --> 03:11:37,000
If you said, Mosé Cardenal, you're absolutely right.

2295
03:11:37,000 --> 03:11:40,000
Rose stepping in, he swings, ground ball to Cardenal.

2296
03:11:40,000 --> 03:11:44,000
Down to his knees, picks it up, Rose.

2297
03:11:44,000 --> 03:11:49,000
Dave, the first base, thought he had it.

2298
03:11:49,000 --> 03:11:55,000
Jerry Tatum or Jerry Cropper down there on one knee, and he says he beat it out.

2299
03:11:55,000 --> 03:11:59,000
That's going to be an error on Jose on his first chance at second.

2300
03:11:59,000 --> 03:12:05,000
He went down to his knees to block the ball, scrambled as it bounced away from him off his chest,

2301
03:12:05,000 --> 03:12:09,000
threw it to Buckner, and it was very, very close.

2302
03:12:09,000 --> 03:12:14,000
But Cropper did an excellent position on it to make the call, and he says he's safe.

2303
03:12:14,000 --> 03:12:18,000
So it's an error on Jose.

2304
03:12:18,000 --> 03:12:20,000
Rosetto is at short.

2305
03:12:20,000 --> 03:12:22,000
Not a burst, and Buckner at the corners.

2306
03:12:22,000 --> 03:12:24,000
Middle ball, steal the catcher.

2307
03:12:24,000 --> 03:12:26,000
Shooter on the hill.

2308
03:12:26,000 --> 03:12:28,000
Rollison center.

2309
03:12:28,000 --> 03:12:33,000
Bittner and Mercer in left and right.

2310
03:12:33,000 --> 03:12:37,000
Now, this could be a real problem.

2311
03:12:37,000 --> 03:12:40,000
Rosetto says, you go over, play shortstop.

2312
03:12:40,000 --> 03:12:44,000
I'll play second base.

2313
03:12:44,000 --> 03:12:48,000
I'm not going to have you comment on that in a minute, but we're going to find it.

2314
03:12:48,000 --> 03:12:59,000
If he goes up the left-handed hitter, they may switch around if we get a right-handed hitter back in there.

2315
03:12:59,000 --> 03:13:06,000
I know we've got to have an idea here in a moment, and we will, but we've got to take a moment here for this pitch, too.

2316
03:13:06,000 --> 03:13:08,000
And sooner than a stretch delivers.

2317
03:13:08,000 --> 03:13:12,000
Swing into the spike, whips his track one, a good fast ball.

2318
03:13:12,000 --> 03:13:14,000
Let's pause the station identification.

2319
03:13:14,000 --> 03:13:17,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

2320
03:13:17,000 --> 03:13:24,000
WGN Radio, Chicago, 27 minutes until 5 o'clock.

2321
03:13:24,000 --> 03:13:28,000
How do you show on your scorecard that they've foot clopped?

2322
03:13:28,000 --> 03:13:35,000
Looked like he wanted a bun, and he takes the ball outside one-on-one.

2323
03:13:35,000 --> 03:13:39,000
I wonder if Cardinal has played in the infield before in the majors, Lou.

2324
03:13:39,000 --> 03:13:42,000
I doubt it. I doubt it.

2325
03:13:42,000 --> 03:13:48,000
And I wonder if that's what Permanent asked him to dug out that really cracked him up before he came out the pinch hit.

2326
03:13:48,000 --> 03:13:49,000
Here's the pitch.

2327
03:13:49,000 --> 03:13:54,000
Swing and a miss, and there's that real fine split-finger curve on clock ball.

2328
03:13:54,000 --> 03:13:58,000
One and two.

2329
03:13:58,000 --> 03:14:02,000
I want to see how they cover second when Rose makes an attempt to steal a second.

2330
03:14:02,000 --> 03:14:09,000
He's talking to one another right now.

2331
03:14:09,000 --> 03:14:11,000
Suiter's one-two pitch.

2332
03:14:11,000 --> 03:14:14,000
One-hound and that's for strike three.

2333
03:14:14,000 --> 03:14:23,000
He looks like he is back right where he was when he was at his peak this year.

2334
03:14:23,000 --> 03:14:32,000
That for Mr. Suiter is his 96th strikeout of the year.

2335
03:14:32,000 --> 03:14:37,000
Only Rick Russell has any more on the cup pitching stand.

2336
03:14:37,000 --> 03:14:42,000
Rick with 101.

2337
03:14:42,000 --> 03:14:46,000
Jose coming over from his shortstop position, he's giving Suiter a little advice.

2338
03:14:46,000 --> 03:14:50,000
Oh, he tells Suiter, make a fuller ball, don't let it over here.

2339
03:14:50,000 --> 03:14:55,000
That's good advice.

2340
03:14:55,000 --> 03:14:57,000
Joe Morgan stepping in.

2341
03:14:57,000 --> 03:15:06,000
He takes the first one high, ball one.

2342
03:15:06,000 --> 03:15:10,000
Strikes the pitch, a little high, ball two.

2343
03:15:10,000 --> 03:15:23,000
And he has not gone to that split-fingered curve or fork ball to Morgan on those first two pitches.

2344
03:15:23,000 --> 03:15:25,000
14-13, the Reds lead.

2345
03:15:25,000 --> 03:15:28,000
Morgan takes fastball and is outside.

2346
03:15:28,000 --> 03:15:34,000
He's now going to three and oh on him and he wants another baseball.

2347
03:15:34,000 --> 03:15:42,000
Pete Rose reached on a ground ball to Cardinal who is playing at second base after coming in as a pinch hitter.

2348
03:15:42,000 --> 03:15:47,000
We've used Río, we've used Cadejar.

2349
03:15:47,000 --> 03:15:49,000
Río pitch, goes after it.

2350
03:15:49,000 --> 03:15:54,000
Bowls it back up out of the screen and it's three and one on Morgan.

2351
03:15:54,000 --> 03:16:01,000
He had a good rip at a fastball that he just barely got under.

2352
03:16:01,000 --> 03:16:05,000
They have five home runs, the Cubs have five home runs.

2353
03:16:05,000 --> 03:16:10,000
They're one homer away from tying a major league record for homers by both clubs in the game.

2354
03:16:10,000 --> 03:16:12,000
There's a swing and a nice one.

2355
03:16:12,000 --> 03:16:17,000
There he came back with that good fork ball, three and two.

2356
03:16:17,000 --> 03:16:21,000
But he did not use it in the first three pitches to Morgan.

2357
03:16:21,000 --> 03:16:25,000
Maybe he was afraid, he'd throw it into the dirt for Mitt Rose to get the second on a wild pitch.

2358
03:16:25,000 --> 03:16:26,000
I don't know.

2359
03:16:26,000 --> 03:16:30,000
Well, he did have trouble with the baseball and since he changed it, he's thrown two strikes.

2360
03:16:30,000 --> 03:16:33,000
There goes Rose, there's a swing, round ball.

2361
03:16:33,000 --> 03:16:36,000
Buckner takes a play on it, it's picked up by Rosello.

2362
03:16:36,000 --> 03:16:40,000
He throws to Buckner and he's called for a play for first baseman.

2363
03:16:40,000 --> 03:16:46,000
Another very close one and Herman Clance is going out to beef on this one.

2364
03:16:46,000 --> 03:16:49,000
Buckner is really hot.

2365
03:16:49,000 --> 03:16:52,000
That was a bullet.

2366
03:16:52,000 --> 03:16:54,000
Hit to the cup, first baseman.

2367
03:16:54,000 --> 03:16:56,000
A tremendously hard shot.

2368
03:16:56,000 --> 03:16:58,000
It paramed away from him.

2369
03:16:58,000 --> 03:17:02,000
Rosello was moving over towards first base to back it up.

2370
03:17:02,000 --> 03:17:04,000
Got it, Buckner got to his feet.

2371
03:17:04,000 --> 03:17:06,000
He was on the bag at first.

2372
03:17:06,000 --> 03:17:08,000
Rosello picked the ball up.

2373
03:17:08,000 --> 03:17:10,000
Close to the end of Buckner.

2374
03:17:10,000 --> 03:17:16,000
It appeared as though he might have had him on a close play.

2375
03:17:16,000 --> 03:17:20,000
But Jerry Crawford has given the call to the Reds on that one.

2376
03:17:20,000 --> 03:17:23,000
That's the third close one that he has given to them today.

2377
03:17:23,000 --> 03:17:28,000
And Herman is really hot and he's giving it to that rookie.

2378
03:17:28,000 --> 03:17:31,000
And they're down, no's to no's.

2379
03:17:31,000 --> 03:17:33,000
He's out.

2380
03:17:33,000 --> 03:17:36,000
Herman has been thrown out of all games.

2381
03:17:36,000 --> 03:17:41,000
But he is going to continue to have this play because he is really hot.

2382
03:17:41,000 --> 03:17:43,000
There are no's to no's and chest to chest.

2383
03:17:43,000 --> 03:17:47,000
And Herman won't back and forth with his shoulders and his head

2384
03:17:47,000 --> 03:17:51,000
and his heated argument for a moment lost his tap.

2385
03:17:51,000 --> 03:17:53,000
He's got it back on.

2386
03:17:53,000 --> 03:17:58,000
Doug Harvey is stepping between him and the rookie umpire trying to calm him down.

2387
03:17:58,000 --> 03:18:00,000
A little eye on frame him.

2388
03:18:00,000 --> 03:18:02,000
That's Green over there that's running against him today.

2389
03:18:02,000 --> 03:18:03,000
That's true.

2390
03:18:03,000 --> 03:18:09,000
And did you see Doug Harvey say he told Olson to take care of Crawford?

2391
03:18:09,000 --> 03:18:15,000
Harvey is in front of Herman because they don't want to have any tempers here

2392
03:18:15,000 --> 03:18:17,000
that they want to lose their head.

2393
03:18:17,000 --> 03:18:20,000
It's all right to argue and point your point.

2394
03:18:20,000 --> 03:18:24,000
But you've never seen Herman this upset so Crawford must have retaliated

2395
03:18:24,000 --> 03:18:29,000
with something that really irritated Herman.

2396
03:18:29,000 --> 03:18:35,000
Well, my man is hot jelly right now I guarantee you.

2397
03:18:35,000 --> 03:18:37,000
He is hot.

2398
03:18:37,000 --> 03:18:40,000
Not just for having been thrown out of the ball game.

2399
03:18:40,000 --> 03:18:44,000
But you've got to remember this ball club, the Cubs,

2400
03:18:44,000 --> 03:18:48,000
are in a whale of a divisional championship fight.

2401
03:18:48,000 --> 03:18:53,000
At every call on one like that, you don't know in the long run

2402
03:18:53,000 --> 03:18:57,000
that may be the difference between winning or losing a championship.

2403
03:18:57,000 --> 03:19:03,000
And he's right in this ball game, a wild one, 14 to 13.

2404
03:19:03,000 --> 03:19:07,000
He had a call and Pete Rose it was a close one.

2405
03:19:07,000 --> 03:19:09,000
Don't put up this sign, setting.

2406
03:19:09,000 --> 03:19:13,000
Now he gets another close one and Morgan is called safe at first base

2407
03:19:13,000 --> 03:19:16,000
and they've got Bennett first and second but they'll be one out.

2408
03:19:16,000 --> 03:19:25,000
You know, I don't recall seeing Buckner argue on a play that has been that close.

2409
03:19:25,000 --> 03:19:31,000
He's at first baseman who's had a lot of close plays during the year.

2410
03:19:31,000 --> 03:19:34,000
He's still carrying it on over there with Crawford.

2411
03:19:34,000 --> 03:19:37,000
Now we have, and we've told you this many times,

2412
03:19:37,000 --> 03:19:40,000
a television monitor in our booth here at Wrigley Field

2413
03:19:40,000 --> 03:19:45,000
and we watch those replays just like you do if you're watching television

2414
03:19:45,000 --> 03:19:48,000
at home or wherever you may be.

2415
03:19:48,000 --> 03:19:58,000
And I thought, I thought that Morgan was out on that one at first base.

2416
03:19:58,000 --> 03:20:04,000
Now, Gardinal is shortstop or at second base.

2417
03:20:04,000 --> 03:20:10,000
Rosello is over at short and George Foster swings and this is for strike one.

2418
03:20:10,000 --> 03:20:13,000
They flip flop again.

2419
03:20:13,000 --> 03:20:20,000
And the Cincinnati Reds were retired in the top of the ninth inning by the Chicago Cubs.

2420
03:20:20,000 --> 03:20:25,000
Then in the Cubs' half of the ninth inning, that is the bottom of the ninth,

2421
03:20:25,000 --> 03:20:29,000
with Joe Horner pitching for the Cincinnati Reds,

2422
03:20:29,000 --> 03:20:36,000
after two men are out, Bobby Mercer comes to the plate and singles.

2423
03:20:36,000 --> 03:20:41,000
There's a ground ball in the right field, a nice set for Mercer.

2424
03:20:41,000 --> 03:20:46,000
A walk to Jerry Morales sent Bobby Mercer to second base

2425
03:20:46,000 --> 03:20:49,000
and brought up Steve Ontiveros.

2426
03:20:49,000 --> 03:20:51,000
There we go.

2427
03:20:51,000 --> 03:20:54,000
And there's a drive in the left field with a nice hit.

2428
03:20:54,000 --> 03:20:57,000
Come on, Bobby. Foster has a tremendous arm.

2429
03:20:57,000 --> 03:21:03,000
It's going to be close. He scores. He scores.

2430
03:21:03,000 --> 03:21:08,000
And now we resume live action of the coverage of this game

2431
03:21:08,000 --> 03:21:14,000
with Davey Rosello at the plate and the score tied in the bottom of the ninth.

2432
03:21:14,000 --> 03:21:17,000
This is just unbelievable.

2433
03:21:17,000 --> 03:21:21,000
There's Davey Rosello.

2434
03:21:21,000 --> 03:21:27,000
I may have wished that ball over the head and the glove of Dave Concepcion.

2435
03:21:27,000 --> 03:21:31,000
He leaped and he just missed it.

2436
03:21:31,000 --> 03:21:34,000
Wish new bodies were retired here in the ninth.

2437
03:21:34,000 --> 03:21:38,000
Now the school ball is outside, ball one, strike one.

2438
03:21:38,000 --> 03:21:40,000
But you never know.

2439
03:21:40,000 --> 03:21:43,000
Mercer bounced one through the right side for a hit

2440
03:21:43,000 --> 03:21:50,000
and he is now in the dugout having scored the comes 14th and tying one of the game.

2441
03:21:50,000 --> 03:22:00,000
There's a ball too high. Ball two, strike one.

2442
03:22:00,000 --> 03:22:08,000
Walk to Morales who's now at second base and out of errors with a tying game single at first.

2443
03:22:08,000 --> 03:22:12,000
Ball swung out of it. That was a little high, but he was eager.

2444
03:22:12,000 --> 03:22:15,000
One after, two and two.

2445
03:22:15,000 --> 03:22:17,000
That applause for station identification.

2446
03:22:17,000 --> 03:22:20,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

2447
03:22:20,000 --> 03:22:26,000
WGN Radio Chicago, 80 degrees at 5 o'clock.

2448
03:22:26,000 --> 03:22:33,000
Pitch swung out, liner to the first baseman to retire the side.

2449
03:22:33,000 --> 03:22:35,000
I don't believe it.

2450
03:22:35,000 --> 03:22:38,000
He just missed winning the ball game.

2451
03:22:38,000 --> 03:22:42,000
From the liner to the first baseman.

2452
03:22:42,000 --> 03:22:47,000
Got it right off the end of the bat and he hit it hard.

2453
03:22:47,000 --> 03:22:52,000
Lobba's playing deep and the crowd is giving the Cubs a standing ovation.

2454
03:22:52,000 --> 03:22:54,000
They haven't had enough.

2455
03:22:54,000 --> 03:22:57,000
We will be playing nine innings.

2456
03:22:57,000 --> 03:23:04,000
And in the ninth, one run, two hits, a walk and two men left.

2457
03:23:04,000 --> 03:23:08,000
It is now tied 14 to 14.

2458
03:23:08,000 --> 03:23:14,000
If you're in the market for a used car, come home to fireside Chrysler, Plymouth and Schaumburg.

2459
03:23:14,000 --> 03:23:15,000
No doubt about it.

2460
03:23:15,000 --> 03:23:22,000
You'll feel right at home in a relaxed setting that includes couches, easy chairs and plenty of hot coffee.

2461
03:23:22,000 --> 03:23:25,000
Instead of working a fast deal in some cramped office,

2462
03:23:25,000 --> 03:23:30,000
you'll have a fireside chat with understanding salespeople who know full well

2463
03:23:30,000 --> 03:23:36,000
that even a used car is a big, big purchase for the average working person.

2464
03:23:36,000 --> 03:23:40,000
Best of all, every fireside used car is thoroughly inspected.

2465
03:23:40,000 --> 03:23:46,000
They take a lot of autos in trade, but only the cream of the crop are offered for resale.

2466
03:23:46,000 --> 03:23:52,000
So if you want a safe, dependable auto at a price that will keep you safely within your budget,

2467
03:23:52,000 --> 03:23:55,000
come home to fireside Chrysler, Plymouth.

2468
03:23:55,000 --> 03:24:01,000
They're located on Gulf Road just west of the Woodfield Shopping Center in Schaumburg.

2469
03:24:01,000 --> 03:24:19,000
Now remember, if you buy a used car from fireside, there's no doubt about it.

2470
03:24:19,000 --> 03:24:26,000
I'm just looking over this record book, well, and we know that the record for most home runs in the game by both clubs is 11.

2471
03:24:26,000 --> 03:24:36,000
Doesn't say here, but it's, let's see, in the National League, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati had 11,

2472
03:24:36,000 --> 03:24:41,000
and that was in a 13-inning game in 1966.

2473
03:24:41,000 --> 03:24:48,000
The Cubs, and the Mets back in 67 had many 11.

2474
03:24:48,000 --> 03:24:53,000
The Cubs getting 7, and the American League record is also 11, I guess, for 9 innings.

2475
03:24:53,000 --> 03:24:56,000
All right, Luke, let's go.

2476
03:24:56,000 --> 03:25:01,000
First pitch strike, we're in the 10th inning.

2477
03:25:01,000 --> 03:25:04,000
Geronimo at bat, facing Souter.

2478
03:25:04,000 --> 03:25:06,000
Strike one pitch.

2479
03:25:06,000 --> 03:25:09,000
Swing and a miss on that forecall.

2480
03:25:09,000 --> 03:25:14,000
Strike two.

2481
03:25:14,000 --> 03:25:21,000
Mercer is in the infield now at second base, and Cottadelle is in right field.

2482
03:25:21,000 --> 03:25:23,000
Here's the pitch.

2483
03:25:23,000 --> 03:25:26,000
Swing, a line drive down left field line, falling quickly.

2484
03:25:26,000 --> 03:25:27,000
Mifter is there.

2485
03:25:27,000 --> 03:25:29,000
He makes the catch.

2486
03:25:29,000 --> 03:25:31,000
Running into the bullpen.

2487
03:25:31,000 --> 03:25:33,000
What a great catch.

2488
03:25:33,000 --> 03:25:38,000
Let me tell you, I don't know how many men have been in this lineup for both teams,

2489
03:25:38,000 --> 03:25:42,000
but they have given extra effort today.

2490
03:25:42,000 --> 03:25:47,000
It's been tremendous.

2491
03:25:47,000 --> 03:25:53,000
Cottadelle started out at second base, went to shortstop, went to second base as they

2492
03:25:53,000 --> 03:25:56,000
scissored down right-handed and left-handed hitters.

2493
03:25:56,000 --> 03:25:58,000
Now Cottadelle is in right field.

2494
03:25:58,000 --> 03:25:59,000
He holds up his hand.

2495
03:25:59,000 --> 03:26:03,000
Here I am, out here.

2496
03:26:03,000 --> 03:26:08,000
Here's Concepcion at bat.

2497
03:26:08,000 --> 03:26:17,000
Strike called on the first pitch.

2498
03:26:17,000 --> 03:26:29,000
Strike two for Concepcion.

2499
03:26:29,000 --> 03:26:31,000
One out, nobody on base.

2500
03:26:31,000 --> 03:26:36,000
Two strikes on Concepcion.

2501
03:26:36,000 --> 03:26:38,000
He's lined up in pitch.

2502
03:26:38,000 --> 03:26:41,000
Strike three called.

2503
03:26:41,000 --> 03:26:44,000
Concepcion has called out on strike.

2504
03:26:44,000 --> 03:26:46,000
He can't believe it.

2505
03:26:46,000 --> 03:26:49,000
I don't believe there was any doubt in that last pitch.

2506
03:26:49,000 --> 03:26:57,000
It looked to me right down the middle, and he took it.

2507
03:26:57,000 --> 03:27:03,000
Now here's Lum at bat, two outs, four strikeouts per suitor.

2508
03:27:03,000 --> 03:27:11,000
Now they're moving, they're going to switch around.

2509
03:27:11,000 --> 03:27:20,000
Mercer's going to play shortstop, and Rosello is going to go to second because Lum is the left-handed here.

2510
03:27:20,000 --> 03:27:26,000
Everything has happened in this ballgame.

2511
03:27:26,000 --> 03:27:31,000
This is perhaps the first time Mercer's been at shortstop in the major leagues.

2512
03:27:31,000 --> 03:27:34,000
Outside, ball one on the first pitch.

2513
03:27:34,000 --> 03:27:37,000
I think, you're right on that, I'm sure.

2514
03:27:37,000 --> 03:27:45,000
And I think he came up as a shortstop out of Oklahoma, the same as Mickey Mantle did in the low minors, didn't he?

2515
03:27:45,000 --> 03:27:46,000
In the minor leagues.

2516
03:27:46,000 --> 03:27:47,000
Yeah.

2517
03:27:47,000 --> 03:27:48,000
Yeah.

2518
03:27:48,000 --> 03:27:50,000
Ball two inside to Lum.

2519
03:27:50,000 --> 03:27:55,000
Fred Norman, the pitcher, due up next.

2520
03:27:55,000 --> 03:28:02,000
Two and one.

2521
03:28:02,000 --> 03:28:06,000
I think we ought to send the scorecards to Cooper's down low.

2522
03:28:06,000 --> 03:28:10,000
I can't read my Chinese puzzle, I'll tell you.

2523
03:28:10,000 --> 03:28:14,000
The score, I think, is 14 to 14.

2524
03:28:14,000 --> 03:28:20,000
There has been five home runs hit on each side.

2525
03:28:20,000 --> 03:28:23,000
And we're in the 10th inning.

2526
03:28:23,000 --> 03:28:26,000
This has been better than a one-to-nothing game.

2527
03:28:26,000 --> 03:28:27,000
Oh, yeah.

2528
03:28:27,000 --> 03:28:30,000
Strike call.

2529
03:28:30,000 --> 03:28:34,000
Two and two on Lum.

2530
03:28:34,000 --> 03:28:39,000
Top of the 10th inning, two outs.

2531
03:28:39,000 --> 03:28:42,000
The pitch on its way.

2532
03:28:42,000 --> 03:28:44,000
Low, he stayed off of it.

2533
03:28:44,000 --> 03:28:51,000
Three and two to count.

2534
03:28:51,000 --> 03:28:56,000
Pete Broberg warming up in the Cubs' bullpen.

2535
03:28:56,000 --> 03:28:59,000
Herman French has been ejected from the ballgame.

2536
03:28:59,000 --> 03:29:00,000
By Crawford.

2537
03:29:00,000 --> 03:29:03,000
Swing!

2538
03:29:03,000 --> 03:29:05,000
Lum strikes out.

2539
03:29:05,000 --> 03:29:10,000
A standing ovation for Suter and the Cubs.

2540
03:29:10,000 --> 03:29:14,000
In the 10th inning for Cincinnati, no runs, no hits.

2541
03:29:14,000 --> 03:29:16,000
Nobody left on base.

2542
03:29:16,000 --> 03:29:21,000
The Cubs coming to bat in the 10th inning with a chance to win it.

2543
03:29:21,000 --> 03:29:29,000
14 to 14.

2544
03:29:29,000 --> 03:29:31,000
Hyruman's bull style.

2545
03:29:31,000 --> 03:29:37,000
The legendary beer from God's country is a beer brewed with sparkling,

2546
03:29:37,000 --> 03:29:43,000
pure Wisconsin spring water in a traditional old-world way of pure brewing,

2547
03:29:43,000 --> 03:29:47,000
double brewing, called poisoning.

2548
03:29:47,000 --> 03:29:53,000
Poisoning is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.

2549
03:29:53,000 --> 03:29:57,000
Most expensive because it takes more time.

2550
03:29:57,000 --> 03:30:02,000
Hyruman's old style is one American premium beer that's still full,

2551
03:30:02,000 --> 03:30:07,000
that's fully poisoned, naturally carbonated.

2552
03:30:07,000 --> 03:30:12,000
Poisoning is what makes old style a great light beer.

2553
03:30:12,000 --> 03:30:17,000
Try old style and taste the difference Poisoning makes.

2554
03:30:17,000 --> 03:30:24,000
Old style, pure brewed in God's country.

2555
03:30:24,000 --> 03:30:34,000
Hyruman Bulling Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

2556
03:30:34,000 --> 03:30:37,000
I'm not sure, but the announcement I think came from the press box

2557
03:30:37,000 --> 03:30:38,000
with all the noise.

2558
03:30:38,000 --> 03:30:43,000
The crowd shouting out, we're number one, and the Cubs are making Cincinnati

2559
03:30:43,000 --> 03:30:47,000
fight for a victory if they get the victory here.

2560
03:30:47,000 --> 03:30:52,000
But the Cubs now can win it in the bottom of the 10th.

2561
03:30:52,000 --> 03:30:59,000
14 to 14 the score and Minterwall will lead off the 10th inning.

2562
03:30:59,000 --> 03:31:09,000
I thought he said that Suter has at least one strikeout in the last 23 innings

2563
03:31:09,000 --> 03:31:10,000
that he has worked.

2564
03:31:10,000 --> 03:31:11,000
I want to go down and check it.

2565
03:31:11,000 --> 03:31:15,000
But I wasn't sure of that, I didn't hear it.

2566
03:31:15,000 --> 03:31:17,000
Minterwall will bat.

2567
03:31:17,000 --> 03:31:21,000
He can hit one out of this ballpark.

2568
03:31:21,000 --> 03:31:27,000
He hit one in the third inning, which was his seventh of the year.

2569
03:31:27,000 --> 03:31:30,000
He hit Norman the pitcher.

2570
03:31:30,000 --> 03:31:32,000
A tough decision coming up next.

2571
03:31:32,000 --> 03:31:37,000
Would you remove Suter or would you let him hit?

2572
03:31:37,000 --> 03:31:39,000
Here's the first pitch to Minterwall.

2573
03:31:39,000 --> 03:31:41,000
Swing and a foul.

2574
03:31:41,000 --> 03:31:45,000
There's only one thing on Minterwall's mind right now.

2575
03:31:45,000 --> 03:31:56,000
Drive that ball out of this ballpark.

2576
03:31:56,000 --> 03:32:01,000
Action galore here at Wrigley Field today.

2577
03:32:01,000 --> 03:32:05,000
A little more action today than normal.

2578
03:32:05,000 --> 03:32:14,000
Red Norman, fifth Cincinnati Red pitcher, fires a curve ball and a swing and a foul ball

2579
03:32:14,000 --> 03:32:18,000
into the cup bullpen where Pete Broberg is warming up.

2580
03:32:18,000 --> 03:32:26,000
Suter is due up next.

2581
03:32:26,000 --> 03:32:30,000
All-out effort by both teams here today.

2582
03:32:30,000 --> 03:32:33,000
They have put on quite a performance.

2583
03:32:33,000 --> 03:32:38,000
Swing and a miss on a high curve ball and George was going for the downs.

2584
03:32:38,000 --> 03:32:43,000
There's no doubt about that.

2585
03:32:43,000 --> 03:32:48,000
Now Suter will bat for himself.

2586
03:32:48,000 --> 03:32:56,000
The Cubs brass want Suter to remain in the ball game and he's going to bat for himself.

2587
03:32:56,000 --> 03:33:08,000
Figuring that the percentages are that we're at home, we get the last three outs so anything can happen.

2588
03:33:08,000 --> 03:33:11,000
Standing ovation.

2589
03:33:11,000 --> 03:33:16,000
The pitch, swing and a miss and Suter left his feet.

2590
03:33:16,000 --> 03:33:20,000
He's trying to hit one out.

2591
03:33:20,000 --> 03:33:28,000
One strike, one out, nobody on base, 10th inning, Cincinnati and the Cubs in a tie 14 to 14.

2592
03:33:28,000 --> 03:33:32,000
The next pitch is a called strike by umpire Olson.

2593
03:33:32,000 --> 03:33:37,000
Here's some guy that just got in his car to go home after work and he heard you say 14 to 14.

2594
03:33:37,000 --> 03:33:40,000
He goes, what's he drinking out there?

2595
03:33:40,000 --> 03:33:42,000
I wish he could bring something over here.

2596
03:33:42,000 --> 03:33:46,000
See the rest of the ball game.

2597
03:33:46,000 --> 03:33:49,000
Two strike pitch on its way, curve ball.

2598
03:33:49,000 --> 03:33:53,000
A line drive, eight pitch.

2599
03:33:53,000 --> 03:33:58,000
Suter, swing us a center field on the count of one, two.

2600
03:33:58,000 --> 03:34:05,000
How about that?

2601
03:34:05,000 --> 03:34:11,000
And here is number one, Jose Cardenal.

2602
03:34:11,000 --> 03:34:19,000
Short stop, second baseman and right fielder in three innings for the Cubs.

2603
03:34:19,000 --> 03:34:22,000
Suter's on first base with the winning run.

2604
03:34:22,000 --> 03:34:31,000
One out, the count of oh and two, Norman Curb Suter and he's single to center field.

2605
03:34:31,000 --> 03:34:34,000
Cubs now with 19 hits.

2606
03:34:34,000 --> 03:34:46,000
Once again, Olson asked Cardenal to put that cap completely in the pocket because if the ball is thrown behind him

2607
03:34:46,000 --> 03:34:56,000
and the ball hits that cap, Cardenal would want to get on base.

2608
03:34:56,000 --> 03:34:57,000
We're all set.

2609
03:34:57,000 --> 03:35:02,000
Lum is holding Suter on at first base.

2610
03:35:02,000 --> 03:35:13,000
The first pitch now to Jose, low, ball one.

2611
03:35:13,000 --> 03:35:17,000
The Chicago Cubs have really fought back in this one.

2612
03:35:17,000 --> 03:35:23,000
Cincinnati scoring six runs in the top of the first, had a six to nothing lead.

2613
03:35:23,000 --> 03:35:27,000
It is now 14 to 14.

2614
03:35:27,000 --> 03:35:34,000
The pitch, curve ball low, ball two to Jose.

2615
03:35:34,000 --> 03:35:40,000
Ball two, no strikes.

2616
03:35:40,000 --> 03:35:45,000
One out, we're in the tenth inning.

2617
03:35:45,000 --> 03:35:47,000
Norman into the stretch.

2618
03:35:47,000 --> 03:35:48,000
Here's the pitch.

2619
03:35:48,000 --> 03:35:51,000
There's the strike called over the outside corner.

2620
03:35:51,000 --> 03:35:56,000
It was not the pitch Jose was looking for, so he took it.

2621
03:35:56,000 --> 03:36:01,000
He figured he has two more strikes coming to him.

2622
03:36:01,000 --> 03:36:03,000
The two and one pitch on its way.

2623
03:36:03,000 --> 03:36:06,000
Low outside, ball three.

2624
03:36:06,000 --> 03:36:15,000
Pittner to up next.

2625
03:36:15,000 --> 03:36:19,000
Suter checking his sides with Bloomfield, a coach.

2626
03:36:19,000 --> 03:36:22,000
It's three and one on Cardenal.

2627
03:36:22,000 --> 03:36:24,000
The pitch on its way.

2628
03:36:24,000 --> 03:36:26,000
A foul out of play.

2629
03:36:26,000 --> 03:36:35,000
Three and two now on Jose.

2630
03:36:35,000 --> 03:36:38,000
Let's go a run or two here.

2631
03:36:38,000 --> 03:36:50,000
If we go to the 11th, Cincinnati will have the pitcher and then the top of the order.

2632
03:36:50,000 --> 03:36:53,000
Right now we have Cardenal at bat.

2633
03:36:53,000 --> 03:36:56,000
Pitcher on first, one out.

2634
03:36:56,000 --> 03:37:06,000
Bottom of the tenth inning.

2635
03:37:06,000 --> 03:37:15,000
This perhaps is the longest game of the season for the Cubs right here at Wrigley Field.

2636
03:37:15,000 --> 03:37:18,000
Here's the three and two pitch to Jose.

2637
03:37:18,000 --> 03:37:21,000
Curve ball low inside, Suter was going.

2638
03:37:21,000 --> 03:37:30,000
Ball four, it moves the winning run to second base for Larry Bittner.

2639
03:37:30,000 --> 03:37:34,000
No action in the Cincinnati bullpen.

2640
03:37:34,000 --> 03:37:44,000
So Norman is all alone on that mound.

2641
03:37:44,000 --> 03:37:56,000
The Cubs were runners on first and second, one out, Larry Bittner the hitter.

2642
03:37:56,000 --> 03:38:02,000
Don't single Larry, double so we can be sure of Suter's scoring.

2643
03:38:02,000 --> 03:38:07,000
Concepcion playing in around Suter, keeping him close to second base.

2644
03:38:07,000 --> 03:38:09,000
Here's the first pitch by Norman.

2645
03:38:09,000 --> 03:38:25,000
There's a ball outside, ball one.

2646
03:38:25,000 --> 03:38:29,000
Bittner leveling that bat over the plate.

2647
03:38:29,000 --> 03:38:32,000
The one ball pitch on its way, curve ball swing up.

2648
03:38:32,000 --> 03:38:38,000
Norman knocks down the line drive, close to second base, throw to first, too late.

2649
03:38:38,000 --> 03:38:41,000
Jose was forced at second base.

2650
03:38:41,000 --> 03:38:44,000
Let me tell you, Norman was quick thinking on that.

2651
03:38:44,000 --> 03:38:49,000
I was looking for him to take one to show him in at first.

2652
03:38:49,000 --> 03:38:52,000
The ball was a line drive off of his glove.

2653
03:38:52,000 --> 03:38:56,000
He's lucky to stop that ball and have been to the middle for a base hit.

2654
03:38:56,000 --> 03:39:00,000
He throws to Morgan covering second to force Cottenell.

2655
03:39:00,000 --> 03:39:05,000
And the throw to first was too late as Bittner beat the throw.

2656
03:39:05,000 --> 03:39:12,000
And now, Simon, he was upset with himself for not having fielded the ball friendly to get a possible double play.

2657
03:39:12,000 --> 03:39:16,000
I think it would have been a double play because he had caught the ball on the line.

2658
03:39:16,000 --> 03:39:18,000
Now Buckner will bat.

2659
03:39:18,000 --> 03:39:25,000
Runners on first and third, two outs.

2660
03:39:25,000 --> 03:39:28,000
And Lum is going to play behind Bittner first.

2661
03:39:28,000 --> 03:39:32,000
It's a feeler's choice for Bittner.

2662
03:39:32,000 --> 03:39:36,000
He's going to win it right here.

2663
03:39:36,000 --> 03:39:39,000
Buckner the hitter, what a day he's had.

2664
03:39:39,000 --> 03:39:42,000
Two home runs, five RBIs.

2665
03:39:42,000 --> 03:39:44,000
Let's see if he can make it a half a dozen.

2666
03:39:44,000 --> 03:39:45,000
The pitch.

2667
03:39:45,000 --> 03:39:51,000
Curve ball swinging a long, fly ball foul down the right field line.

2668
03:39:51,000 --> 03:39:54,000
Buckner trying to hit through that spot.

2669
03:39:54,000 --> 03:39:59,000
Although right now I see Lum has moved back to a normal position.

2670
03:39:59,000 --> 03:40:02,000
So they are not worried about Bittner.

2671
03:40:02,000 --> 03:40:07,000
They're worried about Suter at third base.

2672
03:40:07,000 --> 03:40:14,000
They're playing it as if a runner was on third only.

2673
03:40:14,000 --> 03:40:18,000
Here's the one strike pitch to Buckner by Norman.

2674
03:40:18,000 --> 03:40:19,000
He tries to buck it.

2675
03:40:19,000 --> 03:40:21,000
Oh, a ball hit Suter.

2676
03:40:21,000 --> 03:40:23,000
What a break for everybody.

2677
03:40:23,000 --> 03:40:29,000
Bench through to Rose trying to pick off Suter and Suter was picked off by a mile.

2678
03:40:29,000 --> 03:40:32,000
But Bench's throw hit Suter in the back.

2679
03:40:32,000 --> 03:40:35,000
That throw could have gone down the left field line.

2680
03:40:35,000 --> 03:40:40,000
It could have caromed off of Suter to any other place but where it did.

2681
03:40:40,000 --> 03:40:47,000
It hit him squarely in the backside and it dropped right there in Rose's reach.

2682
03:40:47,000 --> 03:40:49,000
Now time is called.

2683
03:40:49,000 --> 03:40:54,000
Foster wants to know what's going on.

2684
03:40:54,000 --> 03:40:57,000
He's talking the conception.

2685
03:40:57,000 --> 03:41:05,000
Well let me tell you, Suter was picked off as Buckner tried to bunt to get the run in and to get a base hit.

2686
03:41:05,000 --> 03:41:08,000
He's bunting for a base hit with two outs.

2687
03:41:08,000 --> 03:41:10,000
No squeeze involved.

2688
03:41:10,000 --> 03:41:14,000
Whenever there's two outs you can say he squeezed them in.

2689
03:41:14,000 --> 03:41:18,000
But it wasn't a squeeze play.

2690
03:41:18,000 --> 03:41:21,000
He now has two strikes on him.

2691
03:41:21,000 --> 03:41:34,000
And I don't know what the conversation is going on between Foster, conception, and then conception has talked to Morgan and now to Lumb.

2692
03:41:34,000 --> 03:41:41,000
Cubs with runners on first and third, two outs, tenth inning.

2693
03:41:41,000 --> 03:41:49,000
If you can think of it, it has happened today here at Wrigley Field.

2694
03:41:49,000 --> 03:41:52,000
Norman is ready. He's into the stretch.

2695
03:41:52,000 --> 03:41:56,000
Two strike pitch, curve ball swing and a tap over the pitcher's head.

2696
03:41:56,000 --> 03:41:58,000
Concepcion has it.

2697
03:41:58,000 --> 03:42:05,000
Foster first in time to get Buckner who is limping very noticeably down the foul line.

2698
03:42:05,000 --> 03:42:12,000
Anybody else or if Buckner was 100% well he could have beaten that out.

2699
03:42:12,000 --> 03:42:21,000
But as it is, Concepcion moves across in front of second base, throws two firsts for the put out.

2700
03:42:21,000 --> 03:42:28,000
In the tenth inning for the Cubs, another thrilling half inning, but the Cubs couldn't score.

2701
03:42:28,000 --> 03:42:30,000
No runs, one hit.

2702
03:42:30,000 --> 03:42:32,000
Two men left on the bases.

2703
03:42:32,000 --> 03:42:41,000
Now we move to the eleventh inning where the Chicago Cubs 14, the Cincinnati Reds 14.

2704
03:42:41,000 --> 03:42:43,000
Lawns come in many shapes and sizes.

2705
03:42:43,000 --> 03:42:45,000
So do lawn-shaped mowers.

2706
03:42:45,000 --> 03:42:53,000
From true value hardware stores, they offer a complete line of gas and electric powered mowers and heavy duty lawn tractors

2707
03:42:53,000 --> 03:42:59,000
in sizes for every type of lawn from a small city lot to a sprawling country estate.

2708
03:42:59,000 --> 03:43:06,000
For average size lawns, they offer rotary mowers and self propelled models with 18 to 22 inch cutting widths

2709
03:43:06,000 --> 03:43:14,000
plus a high wheel mower for rough bumpy areas and a rear bagger model that mows easily in narrow places.

2710
03:43:14,000 --> 03:43:20,000
To cut big lawns down to size, you'll find lawn chief riding mowers and heavy duty tractors

2711
03:43:20,000 --> 03:43:26,000
with 25 to 36 inch cutting widths, forward and reverse speeds, and many other features.

2712
03:43:26,000 --> 03:43:34,000
True value hardware stores own their lawn chief mower factory where they design and manufacture their lawn chief mowers

2713
03:43:34,000 --> 03:43:39,000
to exacting standards with performance, convenience, and user safety in mind.

2714
03:43:39,000 --> 03:44:00,000
So no matter what size lawn you own, you'll find a matching lawn chief mower exclusively in participating true value hardware stores.

2715
03:44:00,000 --> 03:44:14,000
We have been here, this game started I guess about close to four hours ago, and it's been just nothing but one bit of excitement after another.

2716
03:44:14,000 --> 03:44:25,000
You say, how can a 14 to 14 ball game be exciting? That's not baseball. Hell it isn't. It is today. It's great.

2717
03:44:25,000 --> 03:44:34,000
Not only will those ball players sleep well tonight, but I think 32,000 other customers will sleep well tonight.

2718
03:44:34,000 --> 03:44:38,000
They've been on the edge of their chairs here all day.

2719
03:44:38,000 --> 03:44:44,000
Now, Freddie Norman, he doesn't want to swing it, and he just took that first pitch and it's low for ball one.

2720
03:44:44,000 --> 03:44:47,000
He's leading off.

2721
03:44:47,000 --> 03:44:55,000
That's a 19 hit. Hey, Dodgers won. There's a ball too high.

2722
03:44:55,000 --> 03:45:01,000
Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 2 to 1. They just put it up.

2723
03:45:01,000 --> 03:45:06,000
Iowa's junior union ticker is lagging. It hasn't reported it yet.

2724
03:45:06,000 --> 03:45:15,000
There's a strike.

2725
03:45:15,000 --> 03:45:19,000
Wind up. That one's sink low, 2 and 2.

2726
03:45:19,000 --> 03:45:26,000
Don't ask me how many players we've used, but I know Gene Klien is still available.

2727
03:45:26,000 --> 03:45:29,000
Steve Swisher is still available. 2 to 2 pitch.

2728
03:45:29,000 --> 03:45:37,000
Slaps a little foul ball. I think that's all outside of the pitchers.

2729
03:45:37,000 --> 03:45:43,000
Long time ago, Ray Burr started. They batted around in the first inning the Reds did off Ray.

2730
03:45:43,000 --> 03:45:47,000
Had three homers in that inning, got six runs.

2731
03:45:47,000 --> 03:45:55,000
The Cubs sent seven men to the plate in the bottom of the first inning, got four runs on two homers.

2732
03:45:55,000 --> 03:45:59,000
So they tied a major league record, these teams, with five homers in the first inning.

2733
03:45:59,000 --> 03:46:03,000
There's a swing, and Norman lifts a high foul out of play.

2734
03:46:03,000 --> 03:46:07,000
Burr's worth two innings, Mueller one.

2735
03:46:07,000 --> 03:46:10,000
Paul Ruschel, three and a third.

2736
03:46:10,000 --> 03:46:13,000
And he did a good job, two hits and a run.

2737
03:46:13,000 --> 03:46:16,000
Fernandez two innings, two hits and a run.

2738
03:46:16,000 --> 03:46:19,000
Suter now is starting his third inning.

2739
03:46:19,000 --> 03:46:25,000
They have not had a hit off him. He's struck out five.

2740
03:46:25,000 --> 03:46:30,000
Buddy Norman battling him here to open up the eleventh inning.

2741
03:46:30,000 --> 03:46:34,000
Rusch's next pitch high.

2742
03:46:34,000 --> 03:46:46,000
Well, three strike two. He didn't throw that one the way he normally does it all.

2743
03:46:46,000 --> 03:46:50,000
Buddy is their fifth pitcher.

2744
03:46:50,000 --> 03:46:54,000
Three-two pitch. That's too high.

2745
03:46:54,000 --> 03:46:59,000
And he did not have a good follow through on that one.

2746
03:46:59,000 --> 03:47:05,000
Bobby Mercer took up shortstop, and I'm not making that up.

2747
03:47:05,000 --> 03:47:08,000
He's coming over to talk to him.

2748
03:47:08,000 --> 03:47:10,000
Nobody throwing in the bullpen.

2749
03:47:10,000 --> 03:47:14,000
Broberg had been up earlier.

2750
03:47:14,000 --> 03:47:17,000
They would have used Fernandez.

2751
03:47:17,000 --> 03:47:22,000
Paul Ruschel, Donnie Moore.

2752
03:47:22,000 --> 03:47:25,000
Now Bruce at his first appearance.

2753
03:47:25,000 --> 03:47:30,000
I just hope that going this is a second inning, third inning, really.

2754
03:47:30,000 --> 03:47:37,000
After five or six days layoff, I don't know whether it's bothering him or not. I hope not.

2755
03:47:37,000 --> 03:47:43,000
Last two pitches he threw to Norman. I didn't think he threw naturally at all.

2756
03:47:43,000 --> 03:47:48,000
Rose is in there. He's got a bunch. Gets it out in front of the mom. Picked up by Bruce. He has to throw to first.

2757
03:47:48,000 --> 03:47:57,000
Rossello covering at first base now. Broberg gets up and starts to throw in the bullpen.

2758
03:47:57,000 --> 03:48:04,000
When he walks a pitcher, and the last two pitches that he threw to him are very, very high,

2759
03:48:04,000 --> 03:48:09,000
and he didn't have a good follow through at all, I have to wonder whether he's okay.

2760
03:48:09,000 --> 03:48:13,000
Rose has sacrificed.

2761
03:48:13,000 --> 03:48:25,000
And Grippy steps in. He has four base hits today. Two singles, a homer, a double. He's batted in four runs.

2762
03:48:25,000 --> 03:48:32,000
Suiter's first pitch. There's a strike. And a good delivery on that one.

2763
03:48:32,000 --> 03:48:39,000
Yackey's wallop, Baltimore, 14-2. Boston shut out Milwaukee, embarrassed them 12-0.

2764
03:48:39,000 --> 03:48:49,000
What's going on here today? There's a swing and a miss. That was a good forkball that exploded on Grippy.

2765
03:48:49,000 --> 03:48:58,000
The Dodgers nipped Philadelphia 2-1. You know, if the Cubs could hold on and bail this one out,

2766
03:48:58,000 --> 03:49:06,000
they could have a two-and-a-half game lead over the Phillies, and either remain at 2 or go to 3 over the Pirates who played tonight.

2767
03:49:06,000 --> 03:49:16,000
Swing and a miss. There again is that blazing, exploding forkball.

2768
03:49:16,000 --> 03:49:22,000
That's Bruce's sixth strikeout. It's coming on at the start of the ninth inning.

2769
03:49:22,000 --> 03:49:28,000
I have to say, here is the toughest man in that Cincinnati lineup in a situation such as this.

2770
03:49:28,000 --> 03:49:38,000
That's Joe Morgan. Singled and scored on Bench's three-run homer in the first, doubled in the sixth inning, reached in an error.

2771
03:49:38,000 --> 03:49:43,000
That was a tough, tough play, but well have been a hit for him.

2772
03:49:43,000 --> 03:49:53,000
Joe takes and airs a strike at the knees inside corner. Suiter really firing.

2773
03:49:53,000 --> 03:50:04,000
Thirty-six hits, five homers by each club. Runner at second to pitch. Morgan takes it high. Ball one, strike one.

2774
03:50:04,000 --> 03:50:11,000
Remember saying back in about the fifth inning that he was listening, anywhere near the ballpark,

2775
03:50:11,000 --> 03:50:18,000
he still had plenty of time to come out and see a lot of action. Didn't know it would be quite that prophetic.

2776
03:50:18,000 --> 03:50:27,000
Swung one, one pitch. Swung out, he got a piece of that breaking forkball and fouled it sharply out of line of the plate in third,

2777
03:50:27,000 --> 03:50:32,000
right back to the wall. So the count is one and two.

2778
03:50:32,000 --> 03:50:36,000
Well, Western Union here is caught up with the ticker they have in the scoreboard.

2779
03:50:36,000 --> 03:50:42,000
Yes, the Dodgers did win. With four hits, they beat the Phillies, two to one,

2780
03:50:42,000 --> 03:50:48,000
with a winning run coming in the bottom of the ninth inning.

2781
03:50:48,000 --> 03:50:56,000
Don Say at a homer for their first run back in the fourth. One, two pitch. High to Morgan, two, two.

2782
03:50:56,000 --> 03:51:05,000
Tommy John went all the way, a six-hitter. Tommy now, eleven and four for the year for the Dodgers,

2783
03:51:05,000 --> 03:51:16,000
caught the loser four and six. Thirty-three thousand, two hundred and sixty at Los Angeles this afternoon.

2784
03:51:16,000 --> 03:51:21,000
John, good crowd.

2785
03:51:21,000 --> 03:51:35,000
Was that all in the outfield grass at first? Here's the pitch. Swung out, pulls it, a ground ball, knocked down by it.

2786
03:51:35,000 --> 03:51:42,000
Morgan is jumping up and down. Mark Yanderson is already out of that dugout.

2787
03:51:42,000 --> 03:51:48,000
He wants it to be called a foul ball, Vince. He said it was foul.

2788
03:51:48,000 --> 03:51:55,000
Eric Crawford made the call safe. I can't believe the play that Buckner made that time.

2789
03:51:55,000 --> 03:52:05,000
Unbelievable. Morgan ripped the shot for just a fearful incident. It looked like it would be down the line for extra bases.

2790
03:52:05,000 --> 03:52:13,000
Buckner donned, extended his body as far as he could go, and a horse that'll die knocked them all down.

2791
03:52:13,000 --> 03:52:20,000
He got up, he wanted to throw to the pitcher, who was not coming. And somehow he managed to get there,

2792
03:52:20,000 --> 03:52:31,000
and Derek Crawford, with a perfect position view of it, says this time the Cubs got the call.

2793
03:52:31,000 --> 03:52:37,000
Oh, that was close, Lou, my guy. Oh my, did you see that, Buckner? He was prone in error. I can't believe it.

2794
03:52:37,000 --> 03:52:44,000
When he dove after that ball, actually he caught it in foul territory, but the ball was hit me, bounding, see?

2795
03:52:44,000 --> 03:52:50,000
Mark Yanderson says that one of the umpires called it a foul ball.

2796
03:52:50,000 --> 03:52:56,000
May be that the plate out by her. I didn't see Andy Olson. I didn't see that. I was watching the ball.

2797
03:52:56,000 --> 03:53:03,000
I have no idea what Andy Olson called on it. That ball was a blistering shot.

2798
03:53:03,000 --> 03:53:09,000
But I still can't believe that Buckner was able to make the stop on it, and then get to his feet,

2799
03:53:09,000 --> 03:53:17,000
and somehow come back and win an excitingly close race with a very speedy Morgan.

2800
03:53:17,000 --> 03:53:25,000
They got there just within an eyelash of one another. Well, Freddie Norman is out there throwing.

2801
03:53:25,000 --> 03:53:33,000
Officially, they have been retired in the 11th inning, and it is still tied 14 to 14.

2802
03:53:33,000 --> 03:53:38,000
Now, we normally would take time out here for commercials.

2803
03:53:38,000 --> 03:53:45,000
I don't think we're going to have time for it right now, because Bobby Mercer is getting set to step in there.

2804
03:53:45,000 --> 03:53:52,000
We're going to skip the commercial and stay with you here.

2805
03:53:52,000 --> 03:53:57,000
Well, we've had just everything in the world happen out here at this ballpark this afternoon.

2806
03:53:57,000 --> 03:54:03,000
A long time ago, Herman Franks was thrown out of the ballgame on a very, very close call at first base.

2807
03:54:03,000 --> 03:54:10,000
It was the third one of the day. That one went to Cincinnati, and Herman got very upset about it,

2808
03:54:10,000 --> 03:54:15,000
and eventually he got thrown out. Now, we do want to pause for station identification.

2809
03:54:15,000 --> 03:54:29,000
This is the WGN, Chicago Cubs baseball network. WGN Radio, Chicago, 29 minutes until 6 o'clock.

2810
03:54:29,000 --> 03:54:35,000
We looked at our television replay on that about three times, and it looked like the ball hit fair,

2811
03:54:35,000 --> 03:54:40,000
was going over the bag, seemingly fair. First pitch to Mercer,

2812
03:54:40,000 --> 03:54:48,000
right over his back as he ducks down, ball one.

2813
03:54:48,000 --> 03:54:54,000
And it was a close race to the bag also. There's a swing and a let-up, and he bounces it foul,

2814
03:54:54,000 --> 03:54:57,000
almost into their dugout behind first base.

2815
03:54:57,000 --> 03:55:04,000
On the replay, Vince, Jack Minnibinz has also monitored back at our WGN studios,

2816
03:55:04,000 --> 03:55:09,000
and he said that it shows that Crawford did point foul.

2817
03:55:09,000 --> 03:55:14,000
I didn't see it in our monitor. No, I didn't either.

2818
03:55:14,000 --> 03:55:17,000
And that's what Sparky was arguing about.

2819
03:55:17,000 --> 03:55:24,000
Wow. I don't blame him for arguing. One-one pitch. Swung out of it. Good curve.

2820
03:55:24,000 --> 03:55:29,000
All right, Bobby, come on. It's getting late. We're getting hungry. How about...

2821
03:55:29,000 --> 03:55:34,000
What are you getting hungry? I've been hungry since 1.33 when this game started.

2822
03:55:34,000 --> 03:55:39,000
I'm all right. I still had the wrong side of the scorecard.

2823
03:55:39,000 --> 03:55:42,000
I have two.

2824
03:55:42,000 --> 03:55:46,000
Mercer homered back in the first inning. Seems like only yesterday.

2825
03:55:46,000 --> 03:55:49,000
That's three hits for the day.

2826
03:55:49,000 --> 03:55:55,000
Boy, what a big one he got in the ninth inning with two outbases empty when the Cubs were trailing.

2827
03:55:55,000 --> 03:56:02,000
He's single and eventually scored the tying run on Steve out of errors, his two-out single.

2828
03:56:02,000 --> 03:56:07,000
Nobody on when Mercer got that base hit. Two gone. One-two pitch.

2829
03:56:07,000 --> 03:56:10,000
They're into the dirt. Two and two.

2830
03:56:10,000 --> 03:56:15,000
That's work. Bench and middle wall. They've been catching now for four hours.

2831
03:56:15,000 --> 03:56:19,000
And there have been an awful lot of pitches into the dirt on both sides.

2832
03:56:19,000 --> 03:56:23,000
Bench is dragging a little bit.

2833
03:56:23,000 --> 03:56:29,000
Let's see. They've used arm brister. I think they've got more guys left on their bench than we have.

2834
03:56:29,000 --> 03:56:37,000
They've got Auerbach and Bailey. They've got Knight. They've got Plummer. They've got Three of Summers.

2835
03:56:37,000 --> 03:56:41,000
Two-two pitch. Swung on. Fouled it back.

2836
03:56:41,000 --> 03:56:45,000
Just think how smart that Bill Berg is. He was out here and he left.

2837
03:56:45,000 --> 03:56:50,000
I told him. He said, Bill, there's no point in you going back in. I'm not going to get out of here.

2838
03:56:50,000 --> 03:56:54,000
He should have known that.

2839
03:56:54,000 --> 03:56:59,000
Our telephone number for questions are...

2840
03:56:59,000 --> 03:57:04,000
Stay with them, Bill.

2841
03:57:04,000 --> 03:57:07,000
Sorry about those traffic reports. Two-two pitch.

2842
03:57:07,000 --> 03:57:11,000
Oh, oh.

2843
03:57:11,000 --> 03:57:20,000
Nailed the outside corner with it.

2844
03:57:20,000 --> 03:57:30,000
Berman's second struck out, I think.

2845
03:57:30,000 --> 03:57:37,000
Here's Jerry Morales, who hollered in the eighth inning.

2846
03:57:37,000 --> 03:57:41,000
That's the last home run anybody has hit today. It was the tenth of the day.

2847
03:57:41,000 --> 03:57:47,000
He takes the strike. It's true ball.

2848
03:57:47,000 --> 03:57:55,000
14 to 14. Boy, that's some exciting football games with that score out here over the years.

2849
03:57:55,000 --> 03:58:00,000
Here's the pitch. Swung out of it. That's a beautiful screwball that time.

2850
03:58:00,000 --> 03:58:05,000
Oh, too. This Norman, as you mentioned, worked seven innings in the first game of the series.

2851
03:58:05,000 --> 03:58:12,000
My golly. He came on in the ninth inning of this one, didn't he? Yeah.

2852
03:58:12,000 --> 03:58:18,000
He's earning his pay this week, too.

2853
03:58:18,000 --> 03:58:30,000
Jerry Morales, 0-2 pitch. Strike, free call. He wasn't ready for that one.

2854
03:58:30,000 --> 03:58:33,000
Well, come on, Steve.

2855
03:58:33,000 --> 03:58:39,000
Singled in the tying run in the bottom of the ninth with two off.

2856
03:58:39,000 --> 03:58:44,000
Driven in two runs today with two hits. He's been on base four times as a pair of watch.

2857
03:58:44,000 --> 03:58:52,000
He struck out his first two times up. To him, that must seem like yesterday or last week.

2858
03:58:52,000 --> 03:58:58,000
Norman's first pitch. High, ball one.

2859
03:58:58,000 --> 03:59:03,000
The Dodgers started their game an hour and a half after we got underway here.

2860
03:59:03,000 --> 03:59:09,000
But they finished out on the West Coast, and they beat the Phillies 2-1.

2861
03:59:09,000 --> 03:59:16,000
1-0 pitch. Fastball foul. Back up under the screen.

2862
03:59:16,000 --> 03:59:24,000
The Phillies got to be wondering what the heck is going on in Chicago 14-14.

2863
03:59:24,000 --> 03:59:28,000
The best thing that could happen for them, of course, is they would still be a game and a half out.

2864
03:59:28,000 --> 03:59:33,000
That would take a Cincinnati win.

2865
03:59:33,000 --> 03:59:36,000
Everything in the world has happened here today.

2866
03:59:36,000 --> 03:59:42,000
1-1 pitch. Slung on. He fouls that one into the box each first base side.

2867
03:59:42,000 --> 03:59:51,000
A paid attendance today, over 32,000. The total in the house, just under 33,300.

2868
03:59:51,000 --> 03:59:55,000
And I've got to say that no more than a couple of thousand will have left here.

2869
03:59:55,000 --> 03:59:59,000
Only because they've had dinner appointments.

2870
03:59:59,000 --> 04:00:07,000
Or had to see their friendly neighborhood tavern.

2871
04:00:07,000 --> 04:00:14,000
Or the washrooms are built. That could well be.

2872
04:00:14,000 --> 04:00:21,000
1-2 pitch. Low. Boy, I'd love to have the concessions out here today.

2873
04:00:21,000 --> 04:00:28,000
More than 33,000 fans in a ball game now that's, what, over four hours old.

2874
04:00:28,000 --> 04:00:30,000
And everything has happened.

2875
04:00:30,000 --> 04:00:35,000
Ten homers, five in the first inning. 2-2 pitch.

2876
04:00:35,000 --> 04:00:38,000
Well now he gets under it, pops it up.

2877
04:00:38,000 --> 04:00:42,000
May have a chance to drop. Morgan's out there. Look out!

2878
04:00:42,000 --> 04:00:46,000
Little Joe grabs it and then he was tackled by the shortstop Concepcion.

2879
04:00:46,000 --> 04:00:54,000
Almost ran into the center fielder as Morgan went way out into left center field.

2880
04:00:54,000 --> 04:00:59,000
But he managed to hold on to the ball.

2881
04:00:59,000 --> 04:01:03,000
That's the second baseman way out there in left center field.

2882
04:01:03,000 --> 04:01:08,000
Concepcion brought him down with a tackle from behind.

2883
04:01:08,000 --> 04:01:14,000
Well on the 11th, the Cubs go down in order.

2884
04:01:14,000 --> 04:01:20,000
Pete Proberg is now going to be the Cubs' sixth pitcher of the day.

2885
04:01:20,000 --> 04:01:28,000
Souter worked three innings, gave up a hit, a walk, and struck out six men. No runs.

2886
04:01:28,000 --> 04:01:34,000
Now it's up to Pete Proberg. And the score is still tied, 14-14.

2887
04:01:34,000 --> 04:01:41,000
See, if you ever come across a 1909 Chalmers tour about, a 1910 Owen or 1915 Nevada truck,

2888
04:01:41,000 --> 04:01:44,000
let Mr. Harrah of Reno, Nevada know about it.

2889
04:01:44,000 --> 04:01:48,000
He needs those three models to complete his collection of vintage cars.

2890
04:01:48,000 --> 04:01:54,000
Even without them, the Guinness Book of World Records says Harrah's 1,700 autos are worth 4 million bucks.

2891
04:01:54,000 --> 04:01:59,000
And that makes it the greatest automobile collection of all time.

2892
04:01:59,000 --> 04:02:03,000
There's another great collection of cars right here in Libertyville, Illinois.

2893
04:02:03,000 --> 04:02:07,000
It's Wiles' collection of brand new six-cylinder Oldsmobiles.

2894
04:02:07,000 --> 04:02:13,000
Choose from 150 gas-saving six-cylinder Starfires, Omegas, Cubbuses, and 88s.

2895
04:02:13,000 --> 04:02:15,000
They're equipped in every way imaginable.

2896
04:02:15,000 --> 04:02:18,000
Some of these sixes have nothing but the bare necessities,

2897
04:02:18,000 --> 04:02:21,000
and some have everything from full power to stereo.

2898
04:02:21,000 --> 04:02:26,000
In other words, you're sure to find a six-cylinder Oldsmobile equipped just the way you want it,

2899
04:02:26,000 --> 04:02:31,000
at the world's largest Oldsmobile dealer, Wiles' Olds in Libertyville.

2900
04:02:31,000 --> 04:02:34,000
You'll save when you buy it, save when you drive it.

2901
04:02:34,000 --> 04:02:38,000
So come out and see Wiles' six-cylinder collection today.

2902
04:02:48,000 --> 04:02:53,000
Well, Gene Clines is going into center field, and Pete Broberg, the new pitcher,

2903
04:02:53,000 --> 04:03:01,000
and the only other pitchers we've got left now are starters Rick Rushell, Bill Bonham, and Mike Kruko, and Steve Rincow.

2904
04:03:01,000 --> 04:03:10,000
Now let's see, with Clines in there, the only infielder outfielder that has not been used yet is Steve Swisher.

2905
04:03:10,000 --> 04:03:24,000
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.

2906
04:03:24,000 --> 04:03:29,000
Twenty Cubs have been used so far, I think.

2907
04:03:29,000 --> 04:03:36,000
And we have had Jose Cardenal play second base, shortstop. He's now in right field.

2908
04:03:36,000 --> 04:03:42,000
We had Bobby Mercer play right field, shortstop. He's now at second base.

2909
04:03:42,000 --> 04:03:47,000
Clines is in center. Larry Bittner has been out in left field all day.

2910
04:03:47,000 --> 04:03:51,000
And George Middowald has been behind the plate all day.

2911
04:03:51,000 --> 04:04:04,000
George Foster leading off. And Alavarez very deep and right inside the line of third, the right-hander takes, and Broberg misses low, ball one.

2912
04:04:04,000 --> 04:04:11,000
Reds with 17 hits. The Cubs with 19 hits.

2913
04:04:11,000 --> 04:04:13,000
Broberg delivers.

2914
04:04:13,000 --> 04:04:16,000
Fastball a little high, ball two.

2915
04:04:16,000 --> 04:04:22,000
George Foster, two singles today.

2916
04:04:22,000 --> 04:04:29,000
And he leads the majors and homers, and he leads and runs by the end. But he has not batted in a run yet today.

2917
04:04:29,000 --> 04:04:33,000
And now Broberg is behind him. Two-all pitch.

2918
04:04:33,000 --> 04:04:42,000
Fastball for a strike. Two and one.

2919
04:04:42,000 --> 04:04:49,000
It will be one of the loudest games in years.

2920
04:04:49,000 --> 04:04:55,000
Broberg winds. Foster swings. It's a high, deep drive, right field.

2921
04:04:55,000 --> 04:04:59,000
There's a room. Cardenal can't get to it. It's off the minds.

2922
04:04:59,000 --> 04:05:02,000
Here's Foster in the second base.

2923
04:05:02,000 --> 04:05:09,000
For the wall curves where the bleachers are in right field, coming back in towards the field.

2924
04:05:09,000 --> 04:05:12,000
That ball just missed going in there for a homer.

2925
04:05:12,000 --> 04:05:20,000
And Cardenal going up against the vines as the law moves back away from the infield, brushing up against him.

2926
04:05:20,000 --> 04:05:26,000
Just couldn't get tracked on that ball that came down through those vines.

2927
04:05:26,000 --> 04:05:28,000
And I think, Lou, that may have been why he couldn't catch it.

2928
04:05:28,000 --> 04:05:32,000
This is right. He was right in that corner.

2929
04:05:32,000 --> 04:05:36,000
I thought it was out when it first left Foster's bat.

2930
04:05:36,000 --> 04:05:43,000
That opposite field doubled. It's got to be about the seventh double of the day.

2931
04:05:43,000 --> 04:05:53,000
There's Johnny Bench. That's their 18th hit of the day.

2932
04:05:53,000 --> 04:05:58,000
Bench has won a homer with two men out in the first inning.

2933
04:05:58,000 --> 04:06:05,000
Since then he has walked twice, lined hard, flied out to right, and struck out.

2934
04:06:05,000 --> 04:06:12,000
Here's the pitch. Very high, ball one.

2935
04:06:12,000 --> 04:06:18,000
It's kind of a nervous quietness out here right now.

2936
04:06:18,000 --> 04:06:25,000
The series has drawn more than any three-day series since 1969.

2937
04:06:25,000 --> 04:06:30,000
Curveball. Then he takes it and it just missed down around the knees.

2938
04:06:30,000 --> 04:06:35,000
Middlal rousing a bit at Andy Olson, the playdump fire on that call.

2939
04:06:35,000 --> 04:06:38,000
Finally turns and says something to him.

2940
04:06:38,000 --> 04:06:43,000
He thought that should have been a strike.

2941
04:06:43,000 --> 04:06:46,000
Well, Bench in there with a count of two and oh.

2942
04:06:46,000 --> 04:06:51,000
Makes a big difference, just one call like that.

2943
04:06:51,000 --> 04:06:54,000
Here's the stretch. The right-hander's next pitch takes.

2944
04:06:54,000 --> 04:06:59,000
Fastball a little high, ball three.

2945
04:06:59,000 --> 04:07:02,000
Number 40 in the Cubs uniform.

2946
04:07:02,000 --> 04:07:05,000
Turns his back to the hitter.

2947
04:07:05,000 --> 04:07:09,000
Now he climbs back up the hill.

2948
04:07:09,000 --> 04:07:11,000
Yankees beat Baltimore today.

2949
04:07:11,000 --> 04:07:14,000
Boston shut out Milwaukee, 12-0.

2950
04:07:14,000 --> 04:07:16,000
The Dodgers beat Philadelphia.

2951
04:07:16,000 --> 04:07:23,000
Free-oh pitch, a fastball too high, ball four.

2952
04:07:23,000 --> 04:07:31,000
Well, the Reds did not score in the ninth, the tenth, or the eleventh.

2953
04:07:31,000 --> 04:07:35,000
They went down in order in the tenth.

2954
04:07:35,000 --> 04:07:38,000
Did not get a hit in the eleventh.

2955
04:07:38,000 --> 04:07:41,000
Matter of fact, they've only had one hit since the seventh inning,

2956
04:07:41,000 --> 04:07:45,000
and that was the homer by Geronimo leading off the eighth.

2957
04:07:45,000 --> 04:07:47,000
That went off for an Andes.

2958
04:07:47,000 --> 04:07:52,000
But now they've got runners at first and second.

2959
04:07:52,000 --> 04:07:54,000
That's going to go to a starting pitcher.

2960
04:07:54,000 --> 04:07:57,000
There's nobody else that the Cubs can go to now,

2961
04:07:57,000 --> 04:08:00,000
and that's staff and Penis Lowry is coming out.

2962
04:08:00,000 --> 04:08:02,000
With Herman Franks thrown out of the ball game,

2963
04:08:02,000 --> 04:08:07,000
in a heated argument with first base umpire Jerry Crawford,

2964
04:08:07,000 --> 04:08:12,000
Penis is in charge of the club, and he's out there with a conference right now.

2965
04:08:12,000 --> 04:08:20,000
And I would think, Lou, that they would be having Geronimo's sacrifice.

2966
04:08:20,000 --> 04:08:26,000
I would think so, so I think Lowry wants to be sure that Roburg knows the setup

2967
04:08:26,000 --> 04:08:29,000
insofar as the defensive alignment of the Cubs

2968
04:08:29,000 --> 04:08:40,000
or how they're going to try to play this bunt if Geronimo bunts.

2969
04:08:40,000 --> 04:08:44,000
Geronimo, a left-hander.

2970
04:08:44,000 --> 04:08:48,000
Out of air, it looks like he may be holding back for the fourth play there.

2971
04:08:48,000 --> 04:08:51,000
Sometimes they'll run the play where he comes up the line,

2972
04:08:51,000 --> 04:08:53,000
and the shortstop braces to third.

2973
04:08:53,000 --> 04:08:54,000
Here's the pitch.

2974
04:08:54,000 --> 04:08:59,000
He swings, and he drives the foul ball into the seats down the let-be line.

2975
04:08:59,000 --> 04:09:02,000
Going to cross him up.

2976
04:09:02,000 --> 04:09:07,000
Now, third base coach George Sugar peers across the diamond at Sparky Anderson,

2977
04:09:07,000 --> 04:09:10,000
whose they've flashed him the side or somebody else flashed it,

2978
04:09:10,000 --> 04:09:13,000
and he relays it to the hitter.

2979
04:09:13,000 --> 04:09:15,000
George Foster at second base.

2980
04:09:15,000 --> 04:09:18,000
Johnny Benchett first in Broberg on the hill in trouble.

2981
04:09:18,000 --> 04:09:19,000
Here's the pitch.

2982
04:09:19,000 --> 04:09:20,000
He's going to bunt.

2983
04:09:20,000 --> 04:09:22,000
Takes it high and tight, and he got out of the way just in time.

2984
04:09:22,000 --> 04:09:26,000
It's one-on-one.

2985
04:09:26,000 --> 04:09:30,000
See if they won't be having him sacrifice on this one.

2986
04:09:30,000 --> 04:09:34,000
Fourteen to fourteen.

2987
04:09:34,000 --> 04:09:38,000
At the end of one inning of play, it was six to four since he.

2988
04:09:38,000 --> 04:09:42,000
Five homers have been hit then, three by the Reds.

2989
04:09:42,000 --> 04:09:48,000
It's settled down considerably, isn't it?

2990
04:09:48,000 --> 04:09:49,000
One-one delivery.

2991
04:09:49,000 --> 04:09:55,000
He pushes it up, pops it up, and it drops and goes foul.

2992
04:09:55,000 --> 04:09:58,000
Like every one foul that had runners at second and third,

2993
04:09:58,000 --> 04:10:01,000
if it had carried in the air just an instant longer,

2994
04:10:01,000 --> 04:10:04,000
Onoveras might have been able to get a play on it.

2995
04:10:04,000 --> 04:10:08,000
But as I said, he was holding back for the fourth play at third.

2996
04:10:08,000 --> 04:10:10,000
Had he been charging up the line,

2997
04:10:10,000 --> 04:10:12,000
he would have been able to catch that in the air.

2998
04:10:12,000 --> 04:10:15,000
And who knows, he might have even had a double play.

2999
04:10:15,000 --> 04:10:21,000
But as it is, it's ball one, strike two.

3000
04:10:21,000 --> 04:10:25,000
Meadowald is now going out to talk to Broberg.

3001
04:10:25,000 --> 04:10:31,000
Since they brought him up from Wichita, it's worked nine of the third innings.

3002
04:10:31,000 --> 04:10:36,000
He's now given up ten hits, including the double here by Foster,

3003
04:10:36,000 --> 04:10:38,000
that narrowly missed being a homer.

3004
04:10:38,000 --> 04:10:46,000
It tied the Major League record of 11 homers in a ballgame by both teams.

3005
04:10:46,000 --> 04:10:49,000
Beat is one-one without a loss.

3006
04:10:49,000 --> 04:10:51,000
Right-hander into the stretch.

3007
04:10:51,000 --> 04:10:54,000
One-two delivery coming up, but he steps off the pitching rubber.

3008
04:10:54,000 --> 04:10:59,000
Geronimo gets out of the batter's box.

3009
04:10:59,000 --> 04:11:02,000
Yes, it's a single game, and we're still going at it.

3010
04:11:02,000 --> 04:11:04,000
No rain delays.

3011
04:11:04,000 --> 04:11:06,000
A lot of hits and a lot of runs.

3012
04:11:06,000 --> 04:11:10,000
Few arguments.

3013
04:11:10,000 --> 04:11:14,000
We now have Bobby Mercer at second base.

3014
04:11:14,000 --> 04:11:18,000
That's the kind of a day it is.

3015
04:11:18,000 --> 04:11:20,000
Broberg checks the runner at second.

3016
04:11:20,000 --> 04:11:22,000
Here's the pitch.

3017
04:11:22,000 --> 04:11:24,000
Swung on at a high fly ball.

3018
04:11:24,000 --> 04:11:25,000
Bittner coming over to his left.

3019
04:11:25,000 --> 04:11:29,000
Larry gets under it, calling for the ball, reaches up, hauls it in.

3020
04:11:29,000 --> 04:11:34,000
Foster draws the throw and goes back to second base.

3021
04:11:34,000 --> 04:11:40,000
By the way, Geronimo was unable to sacrifice.

3022
04:11:40,000 --> 04:11:48,000
Now the hitter will be Dave Concepcion, the shortstop.

3023
04:11:48,000 --> 04:11:51,000
He has two hits today and a walk.

3024
04:11:51,000 --> 04:11:54,000
Stolen a couple of bases.

3025
04:11:54,000 --> 04:12:04,000
Batted in two runs.

3026
04:12:04,000 --> 04:12:09,000
It's only the twelfth.

3027
04:12:09,000 --> 04:12:11,000
Broberg into the stretch delivers.

3028
04:12:11,000 --> 04:12:14,000
Concepcion takes the ball, a little on outside.

3029
04:12:14,000 --> 04:12:23,000
Man, I wish he could get him to hit into a double play.

3030
04:12:23,000 --> 04:12:30,000
Due up next to the left end is hitting Mike Lum.

3031
04:12:30,000 --> 04:12:33,000
Broberg working on Concepcion at feet close together.

3032
04:12:33,000 --> 04:12:34,000
Here's the pitch.

3033
04:12:34,000 --> 04:12:46,000
Sidearm fastball and it's low for ball two.

3034
04:12:46,000 --> 04:12:56,000
Jack Billingham down there in the bullpen.

3035
04:12:56,000 --> 04:12:58,000
Right at second is Foster at bench at first.

3036
04:12:58,000 --> 04:13:01,000
Here's a high swing and the ball out to the mound.

3037
04:13:01,000 --> 04:13:03,000
Broberg throws the second and it hits.

3038
04:13:03,000 --> 04:13:08,000
Drop by Rosello, goes right off his club and in center field, a run score.

3039
04:13:08,000 --> 04:13:12,000
Oh, man.

3040
04:13:12,000 --> 04:13:16,000
He must have taken his eyes off the ball.

3041
04:13:16,000 --> 04:13:19,000
Well, he didn't have his glove properly set, Vince.

3042
04:13:19,000 --> 04:13:21,000
You watch how he tried to catch the ball.

3043
04:13:21,000 --> 04:13:25,000
He tried to throw the ball before he caught it.

3044
04:13:25,000 --> 04:13:27,000
Then the ball went right through his hands.

3045
04:13:27,000 --> 04:13:30,000
He had the palm of his glove up to the sky.

3046
04:13:30,000 --> 04:13:33,000
He didn't have the back of his hand to his face.

3047
04:13:33,000 --> 04:13:36,000
Watch his glove.

3048
04:13:36,000 --> 04:13:37,000
Taking a look at it.

3049
04:13:37,000 --> 04:13:39,000
It almost knocked the glove off of his hand.

3050
04:13:39,000 --> 04:13:42,000
It looks like it might have hit right on the heel of it.

3051
04:13:42,000 --> 04:13:45,000
Then it skidded way out in the left center field.

3052
04:13:45,000 --> 04:13:49,000
There was a check swing by Concepcion and the ball went out to the pitcher Broberg.

3053
04:13:49,000 --> 04:13:55,000
Wheel to second to start a double play.

3054
04:13:55,000 --> 04:14:02,000
The ball right off the glove of Rosello is playing it short and a run scores.

3055
04:14:02,000 --> 04:14:09,000
Now they lead 15 to 14 and they have runners at first and third.

3056
04:14:09,000 --> 04:14:14,000
No run, batted in.

3057
04:14:14,000 --> 04:14:18,000
Boy.

3058
04:14:18,000 --> 04:14:22,000
Tough error. Costly error.

3059
04:14:22,000 --> 04:14:26,000
Lom steps in and he takes the ball inside.

3060
04:14:26,000 --> 04:14:38,000
This might have been a double play ball even though Concepcion has good speed.

3061
04:14:38,000 --> 04:14:40,000
There's the stretch and the 1-0 pitch.

3062
04:14:40,000 --> 04:14:41,000
The rhetoric first goes.

3063
04:14:41,000 --> 04:14:42,000
The pitch is high.

3064
04:14:42,000 --> 04:14:44,000
Middle wall does not throw.

3065
04:14:44,000 --> 04:14:49,000
Concepcion's third stolen base of the ball game.

3066
04:14:49,000 --> 04:14:57,000
And it's 24th of the year.

3067
04:14:57,000 --> 04:15:01,000
Now they're bringing the infield in.

3068
04:15:01,000 --> 04:15:06,000
Rosello coming up almost to the edge of the grass on the left side.

3069
04:15:06,000 --> 04:15:11,000
Bobby Mercer is playing at second base and with first base open now,

3070
04:15:11,000 --> 04:15:16,000
they will walk Mike Lom to load them up.

3071
04:15:16,000 --> 04:15:19,000
There's ball three.

3072
04:15:19,000 --> 04:15:24,000
Now Champ Summers, as we mentioned earlier, is still available on that bench.

3073
04:15:24,000 --> 04:15:33,000
And the former Cubs made the Cincinnati Reds ball club in spring training.

3074
04:15:33,000 --> 04:15:36,000
I was so thrilled about it, I just couldn't get over it.

3075
04:15:36,000 --> 04:15:41,000
It's going to pinch hit.

3076
04:15:41,000 --> 04:15:54,000
It's four for 21 as a pinch hitter for Sparky Anderson this year.

3077
04:15:54,000 --> 04:15:56,000
Fifteen to 14 scores.

3078
04:15:56,000 --> 04:16:00,000
Cincinnati leading.

3079
04:16:00,000 --> 04:16:01,000
One gone.

3080
04:16:01,000 --> 04:16:03,000
The bases are loaded.

3081
04:16:03,000 --> 04:16:06,000
Infield in hoping for a force play at the plate.

3082
04:16:06,000 --> 04:16:08,000
Pop of the batting order is up.

3083
04:16:08,000 --> 04:16:13,000
For Champ Summers is up and the pinch hitter takes the ball a little low.

3084
04:16:13,000 --> 04:16:16,000
The middle wall steps out to the U-Gun of fire strikes.

3085
04:16:16,000 --> 04:16:20,000
No place to put this guy.

3086
04:16:20,000 --> 04:16:25,000
He got behind on George Foster who opened this 12th inning with a double that just

3087
04:16:25,000 --> 04:16:29,000
missed being a homer into the bleachers in right.

3088
04:16:29,000 --> 04:16:31,000
And he's now scored the lead run.

3089
04:16:31,000 --> 04:16:32,000
Here's the pitch.

3090
04:16:32,000 --> 04:16:33,000
Swung on a miss.

3091
04:16:33,000 --> 04:16:36,000
Good fastball.

3092
04:16:36,000 --> 04:16:42,000
Then a walk to Johnny Bench that Geronimo could not sacrifice on a fly ball to

3093
04:16:42,000 --> 04:16:44,000
Vittner and left for the first out.

3094
04:16:44,000 --> 04:16:50,000
And Concepcion, bunning on a check swing rather, got it right out to the pitcher

3095
04:16:50,000 --> 04:16:53,000
Brillberg who was hopeful of starting a double play.

3096
04:16:53,000 --> 04:16:58,000
But the shortstop did not handle the throw.

3097
04:16:58,000 --> 04:17:03,000
Crossley air let a run in.

3098
04:17:03,000 --> 04:17:14,000
Now the bases are loaded with one out in the 12th.

3099
04:17:14,000 --> 04:17:16,000
Brillberg from the stretch delivers.

3100
04:17:16,000 --> 04:17:24,000
Summers takes it higher.

3101
04:17:24,000 --> 04:17:28,000
Ball to strike one.

3102
04:17:28,000 --> 04:17:32,000
Champ for the year, eight hits and 42 at best.

3103
04:17:32,000 --> 04:17:35,000
Three of those eight hits are homers.

3104
04:17:35,000 --> 04:17:37,000
And four runs butted in.

3105
04:17:37,000 --> 04:17:40,000
Brillberg's next pitch, a swing and a miss on a good fastball.

3106
04:17:40,000 --> 04:17:44,000
He just blew it by it.

3107
04:17:44,000 --> 04:17:46,000
Ball two, strike two.

3108
04:17:46,000 --> 04:17:53,000
Champ steps out with a deep breath, exhales.

3109
04:17:53,000 --> 04:17:59,000
Now sets himself back in the batter's box with a count of two and two.

3110
04:17:59,000 --> 04:18:03,000
Base is jammed.

3111
04:18:03,000 --> 04:18:09,000
Stretch, Brillberg's pitch, Summers swings and misses.

3112
04:18:09,000 --> 04:18:16,000
And there are two gone.

3113
04:18:16,000 --> 04:18:22,000
But don't think we're out of the jam because here is Mr. Rose.

3114
04:18:22,000 --> 04:18:29,000
He's the third to lead off the ball game today.

3115
04:18:29,000 --> 04:18:33,000
Singled in the third.

3116
04:18:33,000 --> 04:18:35,000
It's reached on an air.

3117
04:18:35,000 --> 04:18:39,000
He's sacrificed, received an intentional walk.

3118
04:18:39,000 --> 04:18:46,000
Well, he's two for five today.

3119
04:18:46,000 --> 04:18:48,000
Johnny Mitch over at third.

3120
04:18:48,000 --> 04:18:50,000
At second is Concepcion.

3121
04:18:50,000 --> 04:18:53,000
At first is Mike Lung.

3122
04:18:53,000 --> 04:19:00,000
Pete Rose in the batter's box with 2,884 career hits.

3123
04:19:00,000 --> 04:19:04,000
Tied for 20th in the all-time hit parade in the majors.

3124
04:19:04,000 --> 04:19:24,000
Brillberg's first pitch, fastball, Rose takes it inside, ball one.

3125
04:19:24,000 --> 04:19:26,000
Come on Pete, put them away.

3126
04:19:26,000 --> 04:19:28,000
Here's the pitch.

3127
04:19:28,000 --> 04:19:48,000
Another ball low and inside, he's got to come in there 2-0.

3128
04:19:48,000 --> 04:19:51,000
Base is jammed and the bottom are in the top of the 12th.

3129
04:19:51,000 --> 04:19:54,000
It's 15-14 sincey.

3130
04:19:54,000 --> 04:20:00,000
Two-wall pitch coming up to Rose is on its way and it's a strike call to the outside corner.

3131
04:20:00,000 --> 04:20:03,000
Ball two, strike one.

3132
04:20:03,000 --> 04:20:22,000
This series has drawn 111,373, the largest attendance for a three-date series at Wrigley Field since the 1969 campaign.

3133
04:20:22,000 --> 04:20:32,000
They had attendance today 32,155 with 33,286 total.

3134
04:20:32,000 --> 04:20:34,000
And most of them still here.

3135
04:20:34,000 --> 04:20:38,000
Two-one pitch, Rose takes two low, ball three, strike one.

3136
04:20:38,000 --> 04:20:44,000
He wants another baseball.

3137
04:20:44,000 --> 04:20:46,000
Boy, what a dilemma.

3138
04:20:46,000 --> 04:20:49,000
Baines is loaded with two off.

3139
04:20:49,000 --> 04:20:54,000
You've got Rose, the hitter, and you're behind him three and one.

3140
04:20:54,000 --> 04:21:04,000
You've got to come in or forced in a run, and if you come in you better have something on it.

3141
04:21:04,000 --> 04:21:09,000
Brillberg into the stretch, three-one pitch, Rose swings and he misses.

3142
04:21:09,000 --> 04:21:13,000
And he adds something on it.

3143
04:21:13,000 --> 04:21:25,000
A lone solitary figure standing in the cup bullpen area, Coach Barney Schultz.

3144
04:21:25,000 --> 04:21:32,000
Trying to will Brillberg to get Rose out.

3145
04:21:32,000 --> 04:21:38,000
Right-hander in the hill, runners go, three-two pitch, swing out of this, we got him.

3146
04:21:38,000 --> 04:21:46,000
Rose flings that bat away and almost wound up at the wall. He's so hot.

3147
04:21:46,000 --> 04:21:52,000
He strikes out, Rose with the bases loaded in the 12th, but the Reds have come up with a run.

3148
04:21:52,000 --> 04:22:00,000
On one hit, one costly error, two off, one intentional, they leave, the bases loaded.

3149
04:22:00,000 --> 04:22:03,000
Second time they've left him loaded today.

3150
04:22:03,000 --> 04:22:11,000
Bob Adams batting Harry Kraft, all the way player, manager, now scouting.

3151
04:22:11,000 --> 04:22:20,000
Welcome around to the aisles, the Cubs coming to bat in the bottom of the 12th inning since he leads 15 to 14.

3152
04:22:20,000 --> 04:22:24,000
If homeowners waited for inflation to turn around before they repaired or improved their homes,

3153
04:22:24,000 --> 04:22:28,000
the old neighborhood might be a little more run down than you'd expect.

3164
04:23:15,000 --> 04:23:19,000
There are over 65 offices in the Chicagoland area.

3165
04:23:19,000 --> 04:23:39,000
Also an office in Tinley Park.

3166
04:23:39,000 --> 04:23:42,000
Well, we've got to pause a moment here for station identification.

3167
04:23:42,000 --> 04:23:45,000
This is the WGN Chicago Cubs baseball network.

3168
04:23:45,000 --> 04:23:53,000
WGN Radio Chicago, 81 degrees at Midway Airport, two minutes before six.

3169
04:23:53,000 --> 04:24:01,000
Well, Davy Rosello now has an opportunity to atone for dropping that throw from the pitcher Pete Broberg

3170
04:24:01,000 --> 04:24:06,000
that could have prevented this Cincinnati club from taking the lead.

3171
04:24:06,000 --> 04:24:10,000
He's facing Big Jack Bellingham, takes the first pitch of strike.

3172
04:24:10,000 --> 04:24:24,000
Oh, what a concept he had who makes the fake in time to first base and there's one away.

3173
04:24:24,000 --> 04:24:25,000
Guess it's part of the game.

3174
04:24:25,000 --> 04:24:29,000
Yes, it is a part of the ballgame. There's no doubt about it.

3175
04:24:29,000 --> 04:24:35,000
It's tough when they happen against you.

3176
04:24:35,000 --> 04:24:39,000
Yeah, when they're so costly.

3177
04:24:39,000 --> 04:24:48,000
Here's George Mendoval, still got a shot at him and he takes Bellingham's first pitch outside of ball.

3178
04:24:48,000 --> 04:24:54,000
Ready, Norman could get the win even up to the loss that he suffered in the first game of the series.

3179
04:24:54,000 --> 04:24:59,000
There's a curve and it's low ball too, but it ain't over yet.

3180
04:24:59,000 --> 04:25:06,000
Vince Lloyd and Lil Bo draw here at Wrigley Field with Al Aldrich, our engineer, and Jack Menevich, our producer.

3181
04:25:06,000 --> 04:25:09,000
Two-all pitch.

3182
04:25:09,000 --> 04:25:37,000
Holy mackerel.

3183
04:25:37,000 --> 04:25:47,000
Bellingham, here at the top, he says, I've got man, he's ready to shoot somebody.

3184
04:25:47,000 --> 04:25:54,000
Meneval can't hit a ball any harder.

3185
04:25:54,000 --> 04:26:05,000
Here's a guy like something's fine that just breaks the side of the crud.

3186
04:26:05,000 --> 04:26:08,000
Were you ever in a ballgame this crazy?

3187
04:26:08,000 --> 04:26:09,000
No, sir.

3188
04:26:09,000 --> 04:26:15,000
What is any thrills in a ballgame? Tremendous ballgame.

3189
04:26:15,000 --> 04:26:22,000
That's got to tie the Major League record. 11 home runs in this ballgame today.

3190
04:26:22,000 --> 04:26:26,000
That ties the record of the majors.

3191
04:26:26,000 --> 04:26:34,000
And Gene Klein steps in for the first time today, takes the ball inside.

3192
04:26:34,000 --> 04:26:37,000
George Meneval, bless his soul.

3193
04:26:37,000 --> 04:26:41,000
Yes, sir, and Rosello will give him a fine thanks.

3194
04:26:41,000 --> 04:26:43,000
He takes him off the hook.

3195
04:26:43,000 --> 04:26:49,000
There's a swing, he's right. Hey, hey, Klein's a good enough device.

3196
04:26:49,000 --> 04:26:54,000
He just missed the bell ringer, but he's on with a double.

3197
04:26:54,000 --> 04:27:00,000
Man, I thought that was going to go out of here.

3198
04:27:00,000 --> 04:27:07,000
A double by Gene Klein on his first trip to the plate today.

3199
04:27:07,000 --> 04:27:10,000
Oh, man.

3200
04:27:10,000 --> 04:27:14,000
That's Sparky Anderson just sat down.

3201
04:27:14,000 --> 04:27:17,000
He can't believe it.

3202
04:27:17,000 --> 04:27:30,000
I want to tell you, I can't either.

3203
04:27:30,000 --> 04:27:35,000
Now let's get him in.

3204
04:27:35,000 --> 04:27:42,000
Gene hitting in that ninth spot when he came in.

3205
04:27:42,000 --> 04:27:45,000
Here's Jose Cardenal.

3206
04:27:45,000 --> 04:27:47,000
Come on, Jose, let's win it.

3207
04:27:47,000 --> 04:27:49,000
Here's the pitch.

3208
04:27:49,000 --> 04:27:51,000
Backs him away with a breaking ball.

3209
04:27:51,000 --> 04:27:56,000
A slide and it didn't break much.

3210
04:27:56,000 --> 04:27:58,000
Jose, a pitch we owe for one today.

3211
04:27:58,000 --> 04:28:03,000
He's played right field, he's played second base, he's played shortstop.

3212
04:28:03,000 --> 04:28:07,000
Now he can play the hero's role for the base hit.

3213
04:28:07,000 --> 04:28:09,000
He swings, bounces one to the third base,

3214
04:28:09,000 --> 04:28:15,000
and Rose looks flying back to second and Cardenal is on all fours.

3215
04:28:15,000 --> 04:28:22,000
I was watching the ball and Rose and he's just getting up.

3216
04:28:22,000 --> 04:28:23,000
Yes, he's all right.

3217
04:28:23,000 --> 04:28:26,000
I don't know what happened.

3218
04:28:26,000 --> 04:28:32,000
Last time I saw that happen to a cup was when Randy Humley out at Los Angeles

3219
04:28:32,000 --> 04:28:36,000
swung and hit a little dying quail in the center field, and we looked,

3220
04:28:36,000 --> 04:28:38,000
and there he was on all fours.

3221
04:28:38,000 --> 04:28:40,000
He broke that knee again.

3222
04:28:40,000 --> 04:28:41,000
Never forget that.

3223
04:28:41,000 --> 04:28:42,000
That was in the batter's box.

3224
04:28:42,000 --> 04:28:43,000
Yeah.

3225
04:28:43,000 --> 04:28:47,000
But Jose was out of the batter's box, so he might have just slipped.

3226
04:28:47,000 --> 04:28:48,000
Hope so.

3227
04:28:48,000 --> 04:28:50,000
He gets up and he walks into the dugout.

3228
04:28:50,000 --> 04:28:54,000
They get him out at first base.

3229
04:28:54,000 --> 04:29:01,000
Lions are still at second and they're two ways.

3230
04:29:01,000 --> 04:29:08,000
Now Larry Bittner, he has three hits today.

3231
04:29:08,000 --> 04:29:10,000
Oh, man.

3232
04:29:10,000 --> 04:29:15,000
Sexy swing and he went too far with the played up fire also.

3233
04:29:15,000 --> 04:29:20,000
Kel Bittner-Berg wants to get out for at least an hour anyhow.

3234
04:29:20,000 --> 04:29:22,000
He could still come out to the ballpark.

3235
04:29:22,000 --> 04:29:23,000
He could.

3236
04:29:23,000 --> 04:29:24,000
He's got time.

3237
04:29:24,000 --> 04:29:32,000
He's got time for a half hour.

3238
04:29:32,000 --> 04:29:39,000
Oh, one pitch, swung on, and he drives it fouled on the right field line.

3239
04:29:39,000 --> 04:29:43,000
Well, I know we won't have any trouble summarizing this in about 30 seconds

3240
04:29:43,000 --> 04:29:44,000
when it's all over.

3241
04:29:44,000 --> 04:29:46,000
Yeah, we have to have a quick wrap-up.

3242
04:29:46,000 --> 04:29:51,000
Minnibits always wants a quick wrap-up.

3243
04:29:51,000 --> 04:29:57,000
You wrap this one up and we're getting coming out here.

3244
04:29:57,000 --> 04:29:59,000
The scoreboard says we got 21 hits.

3245
04:29:59,000 --> 04:30:05,000
I guess that's right.

3246
04:30:05,000 --> 04:30:23,000
The score tied at 15, Billingham, Sinker, Lowell, ball one, strike two.

3247
04:30:23,000 --> 04:30:25,000
Big wide hander ready.

3248
04:30:25,000 --> 04:30:27,000
Here's the pitch.

3249
04:30:27,000 --> 04:30:31,000
Swung on, driving to center field, it is caught.

3250
04:30:31,000 --> 04:30:35,000
The round of all hauled it in.

3251
04:30:35,000 --> 04:30:36,000
Here we go again.

3252
04:30:36,000 --> 04:30:42,000
The Cubs in the ninth inning with two outs, nobody on, tied up the ballgame.

3253
04:30:42,000 --> 04:30:47,000
In the twelfth inning with one out, George Midderwald, second home run of the day,

3254
04:30:47,000 --> 04:30:49,000
ties it.

3255
04:30:49,000 --> 04:30:58,000
We leave the winning run stranded on a liner to the center fielder.

3256
04:30:58,000 --> 04:31:04,000
Well, we're now going in to the thirteenth inning at Wrigley Field.

3257
04:31:04,000 --> 04:31:06,000
Would you believe that?

3258
04:31:06,000 --> 04:31:09,000
It's Cincinnati, 15 runs, 18 hits.

3259
04:31:09,000 --> 04:31:14,000
The Cubs, 15 runs and 21 hits.

3260
04:31:14,000 --> 04:31:20,000
We'll be back.

3261
04:31:20,000 --> 04:31:24,000
When you brew a beer once, you've got a good beer.

3262
04:31:24,000 --> 04:31:29,000
But when you brew a beer twice, you've got a great light beer.

3263
04:31:29,000 --> 04:31:36,000
A great light beer called Old Style from God's country.

3264
04:31:36,000 --> 04:31:43,000
Heilerman's Old Styles proved in a traditional old world way called poisoning.

3265
04:31:43,000 --> 04:31:48,000
Poisoning is the most natural way to brew beer and the most expensive.

3266
04:31:48,000 --> 04:31:52,000
Most expensive because it takes more time.

3267
04:31:52,000 --> 04:32:00,000
But Heilerman has been brewing beer this way since we first opened our doors back in 1853.

3268
04:32:00,000 --> 04:32:06,000
Poisoning is what makes Old Style the great light beer it is today.

3269
04:32:06,000 --> 04:32:09,000
Taste the difference Poisoning makes.

3270
04:32:09,000 --> 04:32:17,000
Try Old Style. Pure brewing, God's country.

3271
04:32:17,000 --> 04:32:30,000
Heilerman Home Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

3272
04:32:30,000 --> 04:32:37,000
The 11 homers here today ties a major league record by both clubs in one game.

3273
04:32:37,000 --> 04:32:44,000
Now Burscher is going over to shortstop and Rosetta over to second with a left-handed hitter, Ken Griffey in there.

3274
04:32:44,000 --> 04:32:48,000
The hitter and out of errors have been at the corners of the infield all day.

3275
04:32:48,000 --> 04:32:51,000
Broberg's first pitch swung out.

3276
04:32:51,000 --> 04:32:54,000
Deep drive, left field, hitter back.

3277
04:32:54,000 --> 04:33:03,000
It is bouncing around and it is in play.

3278
04:33:03,000 --> 04:33:05,000
It is a double.

3279
04:33:05,000 --> 04:33:09,000
And here comes Sparky Anderson out again.

3280
04:33:09,000 --> 04:33:15,000
Paul Pryor, the third base up player, says it is in play off the top of the wall.

3281
04:33:15,000 --> 04:33:17,000
And Sparky out of there.

3282
04:33:17,000 --> 04:33:21,000
What's the question Doug Harvey?

3283
04:33:21,000 --> 04:33:27,000
He does very briefly whatever Harvey said, sends Sparky back to the dugout.

3284
04:33:27,000 --> 04:33:35,000
Griffey just missed a homer that would have been a major league record.

3285
04:33:35,000 --> 04:33:40,000
As it is, he opens up with his fifth.

3286
04:33:40,000 --> 04:33:44,000
As it is, he opens up with his fifth hit of the day.

3287
04:33:44,000 --> 04:33:47,000
Bender went back there, he turned his back to the infield.

3288
04:33:47,000 --> 04:33:50,000
He was afraid that it might go over the wall, but it did not.

3289
04:33:50,000 --> 04:33:51,000
Thank heaven.

3290
04:33:51,000 --> 04:33:52,000
It hit right on top.

3291
04:33:52,000 --> 04:33:57,000
That's something.

3292
04:33:57,000 --> 04:33:59,000
No big beef by Sparky when he went out.

3293
04:33:59,000 --> 04:34:00,000
Morgan steps in.

3294
04:34:00,000 --> 04:34:05,000
This is a foul up against the wall on the first base side.

3295
04:34:05,000 --> 04:34:12,000
Well, in the twelfth inning, Foster opened up with a double that just missed a homer.

3296
04:34:12,000 --> 04:34:17,000
The opposite side, and now Griffey opens up the thirteenth with a double the opposite side that just missed.

3297
04:34:17,000 --> 04:34:20,000
Morgan gets under that one, gets a high foul, middle wall.

3298
04:34:20,000 --> 04:34:22,000
May have a play.

3299
04:34:22,000 --> 04:34:23,000
He does.

3300
04:34:23,000 --> 04:34:28,000
He circles back and he's got it.

3301
04:34:28,000 --> 04:34:34,000
Morgan fouls out to the catcher.

3302
04:34:34,000 --> 04:34:42,000
Little Joe doesn't look very happy as he goes back to the dugout.

3303
04:34:42,000 --> 04:34:47,000
Guarantee you he wasn't happy in the eleventh inning that a hot shot,

3304
04:34:47,000 --> 04:34:55,000
which Bender made a super sensational diving stop on the ball after it hit once in fair territory,

3305
04:34:55,000 --> 04:35:04,000
and he got out still with a bag, and he made a dive and hauled it in,

3306
04:35:04,000 --> 04:35:07,000
and then got to his feet and won the race to the bag,

3307
04:35:07,000 --> 04:35:11,000
and there was a big argument about the whole thing with a spare or foul or anything.

3308
04:35:11,000 --> 04:35:18,000
Now time is called, and Rick Ruschel, who shut out the Cincinnati Reds,

3309
04:35:18,000 --> 04:35:24,000
his second straight shutout victory here at the ballpark, is throwing in the cup bullpen,

3310
04:35:24,000 --> 04:35:28,000
and apparently they want him, Lou, to get ready to face Foster, right?

3311
04:35:28,000 --> 04:35:33,000
Well, no, I just think that he's there to loosen up.

3312
04:35:33,000 --> 04:35:39,000
He's due to start Saturday night in Houston,

3313
04:35:39,000 --> 04:35:45,000
so if the Cubs can hold him in and get a one-run lead, I think he'll be used to protect that lead,

3314
04:35:45,000 --> 04:35:51,000
but I don't think that they will use him in a losing cause, in other words, you see.

3315
04:35:51,000 --> 04:35:55,000
I don't know what's on Lowry's mind.

3316
04:35:55,000 --> 04:35:58,000
He's talking, of course, to Goldberg now.

3317
04:35:58,000 --> 04:36:03,000
You've got Foster or Bench, who you want to pitch to, what you're going to do, take the percentage,

3318
04:36:03,000 --> 04:36:08,000
put Foster on, the leading RBI hitter in the National League,

3319
04:36:08,000 --> 04:36:13,000
and try for a double play with Bench, hopefully, he'll hit a ground ball,

3320
04:36:13,000 --> 04:36:18,000
and then again, you've got to think of the double play combination.

3321
04:36:18,000 --> 04:36:22,000
You've got Mercer now moving from shortstop to second base.

3322
04:36:22,000 --> 04:36:29,000
Yeah, they flip-flop, depending on whether it's a right-handed or left-handed hitter in there.

3323
04:36:29,000 --> 04:36:36,000
Everybody has been used among the infielders, outfielders, with the sole exception of Steve Swisher,

3324
04:36:36,000 --> 04:36:47,000
and they're going to put Foster on, and maybe they can get Johnny Bench to hit into a double play.

3325
04:36:47,000 --> 04:37:00,000
So far, Bench today has hit a three-run homer, walked three times, lined hard to Bittner and Lepp,

3326
04:37:00,000 --> 04:37:12,000
flied out to Mercer when he was in right field, and then he struck out.

3327
04:37:12,000 --> 04:37:17,000
This is the second time this year that the Cubs at home have had a 13-inning affair,

3328
04:37:17,000 --> 04:37:24,000
but the other one, which was with Montreal, was nothing, nothing, nothing like this barn burner.

3329
04:37:24,000 --> 04:37:27,000
Reds with 19 hits, the Cubs with 21.

3330
04:37:27,000 --> 04:37:32,000
There have been a total of 11 home runs hit here today, three by the Reds in the first inning,

3331
04:37:32,000 --> 04:37:34,000
two by the Cubs in the first inning.

3332
04:37:34,000 --> 04:37:38,000
That tied a major league inning record for homers in an inning.

3333
04:37:38,000 --> 04:37:46,000
Now, Middowalt's shot in the bottom of the 12th that tied the ballgame is the 11th of the day,

3334
04:37:46,000 --> 04:37:52,000
and that ties another major league record.

3335
04:37:52,000 --> 04:37:59,000
Total home runs in one game by two teams, 11.

3336
04:37:59,000 --> 04:38:05,000
The walk issued to Foster, and they've got runners at first and second with the one out,

3337
04:38:05,000 --> 04:38:09,000
now Penis Lowry coming out of that dugout again, and by Golly-Loo, he's going to go to Russell.

3338
04:38:09,000 --> 04:38:13,000
Yes, he is.

3339
04:38:13,000 --> 04:38:18,000
Giving the big guy time to warm up down there, and he's going to face Johnny Bench.

3340
04:38:18,000 --> 04:38:25,000
Now, this makes sense because he throws that good sicker ball, and if he's got it, of course, working properly,

3341
04:38:25,000 --> 04:38:30,000
chances are he can get Bench to hit one into the dirt right at an infielder,

3342
04:38:30,000 --> 04:38:33,000
and maybe we can come up with a double play.

3343
04:38:33,000 --> 04:38:36,000
He's going to get a big hand as he comes in from the bullpen.

3344
04:38:36,000 --> 04:38:43,000
This is the second relief appearance in this season.

3345
04:38:43,000 --> 04:38:51,000
Rick Russell, the Cubs' seventh pitcher of the ballgame, the score in the 13th inning, still tied,

3346
04:38:51,000 --> 04:38:55,000
since he's 15 to Cubs' 15. We'll be back in a minute.

3347
04:38:55,000 --> 04:39:08,000
When you brew a beer in God's country, you begin with sparkling pure Wisconsin spring water,

3348
04:39:08,000 --> 04:39:11,000
water that flows deep beneath the ground.

3349
04:39:11,000 --> 04:39:19,000
Then you pure brew, double brew it in a traditional old-world way called poisoning.

3350
04:39:19,000 --> 04:39:25,000
Poisoning is the most natural way to brew beer, and the most expensive.

3351
04:39:25,000 --> 04:39:29,000
Most expensive because it takes more time.

3352
04:39:29,000 --> 04:39:39,000
But Hylam's Old Style is one American premium beer that is still fully, that's fully poisoned, naturally carbonated.

3353
04:39:39,000 --> 04:39:46,000
Because at Old Style, we don't aim to make the most beer, only the best.

3354
04:39:46,000 --> 04:39:49,000
Taste the difference poisoning makes.

3355
04:39:49,000 --> 04:39:56,000
Trial style, pure brewing, God's country.

3356
04:39:56,000 --> 04:40:09,000
G. Hylam and Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

3357
04:40:09,000 --> 04:40:13,000
Hello, Rick. You shut him out of the first game.

3358
04:40:13,000 --> 04:40:17,000
Got his work cut out for him. He throws a couple of pitches. That's enough. I'm all right.

3359
04:40:17,000 --> 04:40:26,000
Now, recall back in this ballgame someplace, I'm not going to say, look back at my scorecard and tell you when,

3360
04:40:26,000 --> 04:40:32,000
although I think it was in the ninth inning, when an intentional walk was given up to set up a double play,

3361
04:40:32,000 --> 04:40:35,000
Sparky Anderson countered with a double steal.

3362
04:40:35,000 --> 04:40:36,000
Yes, he did.

3363
04:40:36,000 --> 04:40:43,000
I think that's how they would break up that particular idea of the Cubs.

3364
04:40:43,000 --> 04:40:46,000
Well, they'll have to be conscious of that possibility.

3365
04:40:46,000 --> 04:40:48,000
There's the pitchers swinging a miss.

3366
04:40:48,000 --> 04:40:55,000
Gets it down around his knees and Bench just whirled around in the batter's box, trying to get a hold of it.

3367
04:40:55,000 --> 04:41:02,000
Johnny, with a free run over in the first inning, has only hit so far today.

3368
04:41:02,000 --> 04:41:10,000
Next delivery, sexy swing, and it's a ball all the way.

3369
04:41:10,000 --> 04:41:14,000
Cubs don't ask for an appeal. Ball one, strike one.

3370
04:41:14,000 --> 04:41:21,000
The Dodgers knocked off Philadelphia 2-1.

3371
04:41:21,000 --> 04:41:25,000
Here's a stretch. Side-up fastball up to him and he fouled it back.

3372
04:41:25,000 --> 04:41:30,000
Came right up to the shoulders.

3373
04:41:30,000 --> 04:41:40,000
And strike two.

3374
04:41:40,000 --> 04:41:44,000
Johnny taking his time getting back in there.

3375
04:41:44,000 --> 04:41:48,000
The go-ahead run, Ken Griffey.

3376
04:41:48,000 --> 04:41:51,000
Exceptional speed, he's in second.

3377
04:41:51,000 --> 04:41:59,000
George Foster, the runner at first base, this game is tied at 15 apiece.

3378
04:41:59,000 --> 04:42:02,000
I knew you'd be shocked.

3379
04:42:02,000 --> 04:42:05,000
Run away.

3380
04:42:05,000 --> 04:42:08,000
Rick's pitch. Bench swings, ground ball deep.

3381
04:42:08,000 --> 04:42:13,000
Two out of errors, goes to second. Mercer's relay, too high.

3382
04:42:13,000 --> 04:42:15,000
He is safe at first base.

3383
04:42:15,000 --> 04:42:19,000
And Griffey is over to third.

3384
04:42:19,000 --> 04:42:27,000
And Bobby Mercer went, I don't know, I hope he's not hurt.

3385
04:42:27,000 --> 04:42:34,000
You got Bobby at second base, of course, and he's not going to be the most agile second baseman in the world.

3386
04:42:34,000 --> 04:42:37,000
I'm even surprised he was able to get rid of that ball, Lou.

3387
04:42:37,000 --> 04:42:41,000
He did a good job of getting rid of that ball. He had something on it.

3388
04:42:41,000 --> 04:42:48,000
And only because Foster slid into him, I think, he just couldn't put a little extra on that baseball.

3389
04:42:48,000 --> 04:42:55,000
Turned a sail on him a little bit.

3390
04:42:55,000 --> 04:42:58,000
So they missed the double play.

3391
04:42:58,000 --> 04:43:01,000
Now, Rosello and Ruschel are looking to look out.

3392
04:43:01,000 --> 04:43:06,000
Now, where do you want me, Davis? Is it on shortstop side or second base side?

3393
04:43:06,000 --> 04:43:11,000
Because you have a left-handed batter in there, Geronimo, but he doesn't always go to the right field.

3394
04:43:11,000 --> 04:43:13,000
He gets the opposite side a lot.

3395
04:43:13,000 --> 04:43:23,000
And if they draw a throw to second base, where would it be best for Rosello to take the throw if Minowall throws through?

3396
04:43:23,000 --> 04:43:29,000
I doubt very much whether Minowall will throw through or not in this particular situation.

3397
04:43:29,000 --> 04:43:33,000
You don't want to throw that ball around too often.

3398
04:43:33,000 --> 04:43:40,000
If you do, somebody's going to make a bad throw and you're going to score a run or move up the runners.

3399
04:43:40,000 --> 04:43:42,000
Bench on it first with the fielders choice.

3400
04:43:42,000 --> 04:43:45,000
They're two gone in the 15th.

3401
04:43:45,000 --> 04:43:48,000
They're not paying any attention to Bench.

3402
04:43:48,000 --> 04:43:57,000
Bucker deep at first base, a pitch into the dirt, Minowall scrambles, and Griffey does not advance from third.

3403
04:43:57,000 --> 04:44:01,000
Nice, nice play by Minowall.

3404
04:44:01,000 --> 04:44:09,000
That could easily have been a wild pitch.

3405
04:44:09,000 --> 04:44:15,000
Rick back up in the hill with two gone in the 13th inning tied at 15.

3406
04:44:15,000 --> 04:44:20,000
Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau here with you.

3407
04:44:20,000 --> 04:44:23,000
Wow, what a ballgame.

3408
04:44:23,000 --> 04:44:24,000
Here's a stretch.

3409
04:44:24,000 --> 04:44:27,000
Ronniball swings, bouncing ball to Buckeye.

3410
04:44:27,000 --> 04:44:32,000
He's got it right near the bag and the side is retired on an unassisted ground out.

3411
04:44:32,000 --> 04:44:34,000
And Rick Russell comes in and does it down.

3412
04:44:34,000 --> 04:44:38,000
Now wouldn't it be something if the Cubs could get a run in the bottom of the inning?

3413
04:44:38,000 --> 04:44:43,000
And Rick would have two victories over the Reds in this series.

3414
04:44:43,000 --> 04:44:45,000
That's not too hard to take, is it?

3415
04:44:45,000 --> 04:44:48,000
Let's see if it'll happen.

3416
04:44:48,000 --> 04:44:55,000
Bottom of the 13th at Wrigley Field, tied since he's 15 the Cubs 15.

3417
04:44:55,000 --> 04:45:01,000
You know lawns come in many shapes and sizes, so do lawn chief mowers from True Value Hardware Store.

3418
04:45:01,000 --> 04:45:08,000
They offer a complete line of gas and electric power mowers and heavy duty lawn tractors in sizes from every type of lawn,

3419
04:45:08,000 --> 04:45:12,000
from a small city lot to a sprawling country estate.

3420
04:45:12,000 --> 04:45:20,000
For all big sized lawns, they offer rotary mowers and self-propelled models with 18 to 22 inch cutting widths,

3421
04:45:20,000 --> 04:45:28,000
plus a high wheel power for rough bumpy areas and a rear bagger model that mows easily in narrow places.

3422
04:45:28,000 --> 04:45:37,000
To cut big lawns down to size, you'll find lawn chief riding mowers and heavy duty tractors with 25 and 36 inch cutting widths,

3423
04:45:37,000 --> 04:45:40,000
forward and reverse beams and many other features.

3424
04:45:40,000 --> 04:45:47,000
True Value Hardware Stores own their own lawn chief mower factory where they design and manufacture their lawn chief mowers

3425
04:45:47,000 --> 04:45:54,000
to exacting standards with performance, convenience and user safety in mind.

3426
04:45:54,000 --> 04:46:10,000
No matter what size lawn you own, you'll find a matching lawn chief mower exclusively at participating True Value Hardware Stores.

3427
04:46:10,000 --> 04:46:18,000
Well, Jack Birmingham, who's normally one of their starters, is this Freddie Norman,

3428
04:46:18,000 --> 04:46:26,000
is working his second inning in relief and he will face Bill Buckner, Bobby Mercer, Jerry Morales.

3429
04:46:26,000 --> 04:46:32,000
Let's hope it'll only be one, huh?

3430
04:46:32,000 --> 04:46:42,000
Let's see, are they making some changes? Yeah, I think they are.

3431
04:46:42,000 --> 04:46:51,000
Oh, it's Joe Gellano, sir.

3432
04:46:51,000 --> 04:46:54,000
Griffey in right.

3433
04:46:54,000 --> 04:46:56,000
Foster in left.

3434
04:46:56,000 --> 04:47:03,000
Mike Blum, first base, Morgan at second, Concepcion at short and Pete Rose at third with Johnny Bench behind the plate.

3435
04:47:03,000 --> 04:47:11,000
The big wide hander, Billingham, delivers to Buckner, takes a fastball high, bottom of the 13th inning.

3436
04:47:11,000 --> 04:47:18,000
Then 40 hits out here today, 11 of them homers, 6 by the Cubs and 2 by George Minnewall.

3437
04:47:18,000 --> 04:47:27,000
2 by Buckner, 1-0 pitch, swung out, bouncing ball, Concepcion charging in, near the bag, he has it, throws to first and Buckner,

3438
04:47:27,000 --> 04:47:44,000
lifting down the line is out, one away. I've got to say he's got a very sore leg right now, huh? Yes, yes indeed.

3439
04:47:44,000 --> 04:47:56,000
That's a cross in front of the plate going onto the dugout. Bobby Mercer, who homered in the first inning as Buckner steps in.

3440
04:47:56,000 --> 04:48:04,000
Bobby with 3 hits today and he's played at second base, shortstop, right field.

3441
04:48:04,000 --> 04:48:09,000
First pitch, he takes, it's a strike.

3442
04:48:09,000 --> 04:48:13,000
This has to be one of the craziest games of all time.

3443
04:48:13,000 --> 04:48:19,000
Harden Al was played second at short in the outfield.

3444
04:48:19,000 --> 04:48:27,000
Billingham misses low and away, ball one, strike one.

3445
04:48:27,000 --> 04:48:32,000
Both benches pretty well depleted.

3446
04:48:32,000 --> 04:48:41,000
Cubs using Rick Ruschel and Relief, they've used Norman. Now Billingham, who misses high, ball two, strike one.

3447
04:48:41,000 --> 04:48:49,000
The good news from the west coast, the Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1. 2-1 delivery.

3448
04:48:49,000 --> 04:48:56,000
Goes after it. With the high, flat ball, right center field, it's pretty well, Griffey coming over, center fielder, there's Geronimo.

3449
04:48:56,000 --> 04:49:09,000
Grabs it on the warning crack and deep right center and Mercer limping a little bit as he was banged up as the middle man on the attempted double play in the top of the inning.

3450
04:49:09,000 --> 04:49:20,000
He's going back in the dugout. Two gone, bases empty in the 13th.

3451
04:49:20,000 --> 04:49:28,000
The batter, Rick Ruschel. Did I say Morales a while ago? I guess I did. He's long out of here.

3452
04:49:28,000 --> 04:49:40,000
He had a homer back in the eighth inning. Billingham's first pitch is swinging a mess in a slider.

3453
04:49:40,000 --> 04:49:49,000
Rick came out of relief in the top of the inning. 0-1 delivery. Looks at the ball outside, 1-1.

3454
04:49:49,000 --> 04:49:57,000
Red Sox crushed Milwaukee today, 12-0. And the Yankees bombed Baltimore 14-2.

3455
04:49:57,000 --> 04:50:02,000
As a swing and a line drive, base hit for Rick Ruschel.

3456
04:50:02,000 --> 04:50:09,000
With two gone in the 13th, the Cubs have a shot at winning it and Steve, out of air, is going to be the batter.

3457
04:50:09,000 --> 04:50:15,000
It was Steve in the ninth inning who tied up the ball game.

3458
04:50:15,000 --> 04:50:23,000
After two men were retired, Mercer singled. Morales threw a walk, out of air, singled to tie it up.

3459
04:50:23,000 --> 04:50:30,000
And then of a 12th inning, Merderwald again tied it up with his second homer of the year, of the day.

3460
04:50:30,000 --> 04:50:43,000
It only seems like a year. Now out of airs, there's a chance to win it.

3461
04:50:43,000 --> 04:50:52,000
Cincinnati dugout, they're trying to get somebody's attention to move them around, but I didn't see anybody, any field or move.

3462
04:50:52,000 --> 04:50:56,000
And on the first pitch, he gets a curve in there.

3463
04:50:56,000 --> 04:50:58,000
They don't have too many men in that dugout.

3464
04:50:58,000 --> 04:51:02,000
No, they don't. The coaches, they've got four or five coaches over there.

3465
04:51:02,000 --> 04:51:07,000
I wonder if they've got the bus waiting for a lot of them. This is their travel data course.

3466
04:51:07,000 --> 04:51:16,000
0-1 pitch, sexy swing, it's a ball. Ball one, strike one.

3467
04:51:16,000 --> 04:51:22,000
They're moving now towards the five-hour mark in this ball game.

3468
04:51:22,000 --> 04:51:26,000
13th inning tied at 15 apiece.

3469
04:51:26,000 --> 04:51:32,000
Billingham's next pitch, fastball, then the big guy misses outside, ball through, strike one.

3470
04:51:32,000 --> 04:51:46,000
Comes with 22 base hits. Is that right? Yeah, that's right. 22, yeah.

3471
04:51:46,000 --> 04:51:59,000
Carball, then he can't find the strike zone with that, but it's five.

3472
04:51:59,000 --> 04:52:04,000
Three of those hits have come off Billingham.

3473
04:52:04,000 --> 04:52:09,000
3-1 pitch, swung on and fouled off of Johnny Bench.

3474
04:52:09,000 --> 04:52:17,000
That's all he needs, a few more foul balls to hit him.

3475
04:52:17,000 --> 04:52:27,000
Hey, and Minterwald has done all of the catching today.

3476
04:52:27,000 --> 04:52:32,000
11 homers have tied a Major League record.

3477
04:52:32,000 --> 04:52:36,000
Five homers in the first inning by these two teams tied a Major League record.

3478
04:52:36,000 --> 04:52:42,000
3-2 pitch, Russell goes, base hit in the right field, charging it, is Stimpy.

3479
04:52:42,000 --> 04:52:46,000
Russell going to third and Lowry says that's as far as you can go.

3480
04:52:46,000 --> 04:52:54,000
Ottavias pulls a single in the right.

3481
04:52:54,000 --> 04:53:01,000
Come on, Davey. Win it right here.

3482
04:53:01,000 --> 04:53:10,000
Davey Rosello will be the batter.

3483
04:53:10,000 --> 04:53:17,000
Shortstop second baseman in this game.

3484
04:53:17,000 --> 04:53:22,000
He grounded out in the 12th inning against Billingham.

3485
04:53:22,000 --> 04:53:24,000
It wasn't all but safe for him to go home.

3486
04:53:24,000 --> 04:53:30,000
Well, that depends on how many enemies you've got, Davey.

3487
04:53:30,000 --> 04:53:31,000
Second round.

3488
04:53:31,000 --> 04:53:33,000
Here's the play, base hit.

3489
04:53:33,000 --> 04:53:34,000
Hey, Nick, that's what it is.

3490
04:53:34,000 --> 04:53:39,000
Russell up to the line with his arms up, raises to sprint.

3491
04:53:39,000 --> 04:53:43,000
Minterwald, happy as he steps in the plate.

3492
04:53:43,000 --> 04:53:50,000
The Cubs have bailed it out in an unbelievable ball game.

3493
04:53:50,000 --> 04:53:56,000
Oh, man. Look at that jubilation down there.

3494
04:53:56,000 --> 04:54:06,000
I don't think I've ever seen Rick Russell do as much emotion as he did when he came up the line to score the winning run.

3495
04:54:06,000 --> 04:54:10,000
His arms up, raised, his fist flinched.

3496
04:54:10,000 --> 04:54:14,000
Then Minterwald hugged him and look at those guys go.

3497
04:54:14,000 --> 04:54:17,000
No worries right now, man.

3498
04:54:17,000 --> 04:54:23,000
They are happy and light-footed as they go down to the clubhouse.

3499
04:54:23,000 --> 04:54:27,000
Sharp contrast for the Cincinnati Reds.

3500
04:54:27,000 --> 04:54:31,000
They lead after half an inch of play, 6-0.

3501
04:54:31,000 --> 04:54:37,000
They lose the ball game 16-50.

3502
04:54:37,000 --> 04:54:39,000
Can you believe that?

3503
04:54:39,000 --> 04:54:46,000
And little Davey Rosano for the second time this year drives in the winning run of the ball game.

3504
04:54:46,000 --> 04:54:51,000
With two out of the 13th and nobody out, it happened again.

3505
04:54:51,000 --> 04:54:59,000
A single by Russell, a single by Ana Vérez, a game-winning single by Davey Rosano.

3506
04:54:59,000 --> 04:55:06,000
And the unbelievable 1977 Cubs continue to be unbelievable.

3507
04:55:06,000 --> 04:55:09,000
A run on three hits.

3508
04:55:09,000 --> 04:55:13,000
Two men left on the bases.

3509
04:55:13,000 --> 04:55:19,000
Cubs won it 16-15. We'll be back after this.

3510
04:55:19,000 --> 04:55:21,000
Some autographs are surprisingly valuable.

3511
04:55:21,000 --> 04:55:25,000
For example, the signature of Gretchen Gwinnett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence,

3512
04:55:25,000 --> 04:55:27,000
is worth far more than that of any other signer.

3513
04:55:27,000 --> 04:55:33,000
And ladies, your name is worth a lot more too, according to friendly Bob Adams of General Finance Corporation.

3514
04:55:33,000 --> 04:55:37,000
Now your signature is all it takes to get a loan at General Finance.

3515
04:55:37,000 --> 04:55:40,000
A lot of women and a lot of families have borrowed wisely from them.

3516
04:55:40,000 --> 04:55:46,000
They were made to feel at home by friendly professionals who understood the need of nearly everybody to borrow at one time or another.

3517
04:55:46,000 --> 04:55:53,000
Now at General Finance, any person has an excellent chance to borrow up to $10,000 for all kinds of reasons.

3518
04:55:53,000 --> 04:55:59,000
A vacation, unexpected expenses, or consolidation of bills, for example, on their signature loan.

3519
04:55:59,000 --> 04:56:06,000
So call friendly Bob of General Finance at AND over 32020. That's AND over 32020.

3520
04:56:06,000 --> 04:56:10,000
And remember, your Jane Hancock is very valuable at General Finance.

3521
04:56:10,000 --> 04:56:14,000
There are over 65 offices in the Chicagoland area.

3522
04:56:14,000 --> 04:56:19,000
Also an office in Addison.

3523
04:56:19,000 --> 04:56:24,000
Well, I'm going to tell you.

3524
04:56:24,000 --> 04:56:27,000
How do you summarize one like this?

3525
04:56:27,000 --> 04:56:29,000
It could just be a moment or two, huh?

3526
04:56:29,000 --> 04:56:35,000
Because there's no way in the world, you're down, if in the first place you're down six to nothing,

3527
04:56:35,000 --> 04:56:42,000
right off the bat, and then all of a sudden you've got four of those runs back.

3528
04:56:42,000 --> 04:56:48,000
And the next thing you know, you're in overtime, you're craving by a run in the ninth inning with two out of nobody on,

3529
04:56:48,000 --> 04:56:55,000
you tie it up, you're craving in the twelfth inning, you tie it up, you're craving in the thirteenth inning,

3530
04:56:55,000 --> 04:57:00,000
you've got two out of nobody on base, and you wind up winning the ballgame.

3531
04:57:00,000 --> 04:57:06,000
Well, let me tell you, to me, Lou, that is typical of what this ball club has done so many times is here,

3532
04:57:06,000 --> 04:57:35,000
they just, by golly, will not give up.
