And Benny Lamp completes his warm-up tosses.
And the Phillies will come off this road trip tomorrow night with a Montreal Exposal via Veterans Stadium.

So a big weekend coming up with Montreal.
First set for the final game of this series with the Cubs. And here for the play-by-play at inning one Andy Mugger.
Andy?
Okay, Harry, thank you. Good afternoon everybody. And Baked McBride ready to lead it off. Baked batting at 2-16 for the Phillies.
We have a mostly sunny day here in Chicago. And as Harry and Rich mentioned on the opening, the wind is blowing out.
So look out for some explosions here today.
McBride carrying a 3-29 lifetime batting average against Chicago pitching.
Here's Lamp's first delivery. Swung on on this strike one.
Lamp can throw pretty hard. He has a sinking fastball and he has a breaking ball that he calls a slur of a cross between a curve and a slider.
The right hander winds and there is a pitch outside. One ball, one strike. He also throws a change of pace.
And although Lamp has pitched free baseball against the Phillies, he has never beaten Philadelphia. He has 0-3 lifetime.
McBride swings and lines a single in the left center field. Lover in a hurry as Kingman to scoop that ball out.
Baked takes a wide turn but stays at first base. Single to left field by McBride to start out the Phillies.
One thing Andy that Baked has not been doing this season is getting his hits early. He's getting almost all of them after the fifth inning.
He's talking about the other day, he said for some reason he can't get a base hit in his first two or three times up. Started out well today. Good hard line drive.
Here's Larry Boa at the plate. He sends a shot into shallow left field. It is falling and going beyond Kingman. It's going to roll for a while.
Back to the wall. McBride coming over toward third being held there as Boa rounds second with a double.
Kingman came in and tried to shoestring that ball. Couldn't and the ball hopped by him in a hurry.
And it was up to Jerry Martin to run that ball down to the wall in left field.
Little surprise that Baked didn't have a little more of a lead off first base. He was close to the bag.
He would have scored easily had he been closer to second. And I think Boa probably would have been able to lay down a triple there.
But Lamps in early trouble. It turns out to be Boa's fifth double of the year.
And with fills at second and third, here's Pete Rose. Pete batting at three forty six. Second highest figure in the National League.
Lamp was going to pitch from the stretch and now has decided to square around and use the wind up.
Takes a look at McBride goes into his wind up and the pitch to Rose is outside a ball.
He does bat it safely in 12 of the last 13 Phillies games.
Lamp asked for a new baseball, got one, didn't like it, now asking for another exchange.
Second and third, nobody out.
Phillies trying to win the getaway game in this series after losing the opener and winning 13 to nothing yesterday.
Here's Lamps pitch to Rose. It catches the outside corner of the strike.
Phillies have had good success here in the last three years at Wrigley Field winning five, winning 15 rather and losing five.
Lamp lines, here's the one one to Rose. A bouncer on one hop back to the mound throws the third base and they tag out McBride.
Bates could not get back to third base. Safe at first on the fielder's choice, Rose. Boa holds second.
Score that one one to five.
Well when the ball was hit, Bates broke a little bit and that cost him the play at third.
Lamp very heads up play, noticing it and getting McBride easily at third base. That's a big play for Dennis Lamp.
First down of the inning now runners at first and second in the batter Mike Schmidt who leads the National League in home runs with a dozen.
Mike batting at 270.
Schmitty has driven in runs in four of the last five Phillies games.
Now Lamp will work from the stretch.
Here's the first pitch to Schmit. Very high fly ball into left field. Kingman going back. He's on the warning track. He's at the wall.
And that ball is out of here.
Mike Schmidt got that ball way up into the wind to left field and it's a three run homer.
His third of the series, 13th of the year in the Phillies, jump out in front three to nothing.
Boy what an example of what the wind is going to do to that ball. I mean that looked like a routine fly ball.
Kingman out there thought that's what it was at the start. He kept going back, kept going back.
I'd say it blew pretty well over that left field fence.
Billy's up to a three nothing start and Mike Schmidt wins a case of tasty cake and one for United Terrible Falls, the Association of Philadelphia.
Schmitty now with 31 RBIs and that'll put him right up near the league lead in that category.
Del Unser at the plate takes a strike. Andy, I'll bet he got another hundred feet out of that from the wind.
He got it way high in the air and of course that's what you're going to have to do today.
Next pitch on the way to Unser is low and outside. One ball, one strike.
There's no doubt in my mind that Kingman thought he could catch that ball.
First he was on the track, then he backed off, then he looked in desperation as it sailed over the wall.
Outside to Unser, two balls and a strike. Del batting at 444. Del has batted safely in five straight ball games.
It has certainly been a great plus for the Phillies as he plays left field while Greg Luzinski sits these games up with a thigh muscle pull.
Greg may be able to play tomorrow night at the vet. Way outside to Unser, three balls and a strike.
Lamp throwing back a lot of baseballs. I don't know whether it's the baseballs or his finger.
He has a finger that he's had blisters on. Maybe he can't get the feel of the ball.
He has not been pitching. It's been quite a while since he pitched. What is it, his index finger?
I believe it's the middle finger on his pitching. And May Peth was the last time he pitched and he did a good job in that ball game.
Pitching a complete game and beating Houston. Here is a solid shot. May Peth to center field by Del Unser.
He lined that ball solidly back through the middle and that is the fourth hit of the inning for the Phillies.
Del Unser now batting safely in six straight ball games.
That brings up Gary Maddox. Phillies off to a fast start today. They lead this game free to nothing.
Maddox batting at 277. Pitch to the right-handed batter. Swing and a miss and a breaking pitch.
Piedro is scoring ahead of that.
Home run by Mike Schmidt had a milestone run score today. Here's the next pitch to Maddox. It's outside.
Donnie Moore starting to warm for the Cubs.
Right now moving into 19th place on the all-time run scored list surpassing Mickey Mantle for the most runs ever scored by a switch hitter.
Here's a shot by Maddox down the left field line. It falls in for a hit. Going to second base is Unser.
Gary Maddox drops a single in the left field and the hits just keep falling for the Phillies.
Four line drives and a home run.
And the home run really hits right on the button.
First and second still just one away. Bob Boone will be the batter and there's a conference at the Chicago Mound.
And here comes Mike Roark the Chicago pitching coach out of the dugout.
Another milestone with all these things happening. It's tough to get this in but we wanted to mention too that Larry Bola needed just one at bat to pass Sherry McGee and move into sixth place on the all-time Phillies list.
And of course Larry had that at bat in the first inning here today with his double.
Sherry McGee the retired Phillies player with 5,500 at bats during his career.
Lamp will stay in the game for now and work to Boone who is hitting a 2-37.
Montreal failed to score in the fourth inning at St. Louis. Cardinals leading that game 2-0 last half of the fourth inning.
Left-hander Dan Schatzeter pitching against right-hander Silvio Martinez.
First and second one out stretched by Lamp and the pitch to Boone inside ball one.
Bob has batted safely in eight of the last ten games in which he has played.
Yesterday Boone had the day off as Tim McCarver caught the free hitter by Steve Carlson.
Stretched by Lamp and the pitch to Boone fouled into the crowd a strike.
Phillies will be back home tomorrow night and they are hot. They have won nine of their last twelve games.
And their three and a half game margin in the National League East right now is as large as they've had all year long.
If the Cardinals would beat the Expos at St. Louis today the Cardinals would move past them into second place.
The 1-1 pitch to Boone. Here's a shot to left field. Hit well. Kingman back. You'll watch again and that ball fails out of here.
Another three run homer this one by Bob Boone and the Phillies lead it six to nothing.
And that was a line drive. He didn't need any help from the wind. He got it. He put it right over the fence.
Over the bleachers and everything and boy that's hard to believe. That ball is jumping off the bat.
Six hits and six runs. And we're going to have a pitching change here in Chicago as manager Herman Franks is headed for the mound.
After a pair of three run homers issued by Dennis Lamp. That was home run number two for Bob Boone.
Who now gets RBI's number 12, 13 and 14. Andy wins a case of tasty cake and one for United Cerebral Palsy Association of Philadelphia.
A six nothing start for the Phillies who will send Rudy Miolli to the plate. With only one out they will bat around this inning.
And we'll be back to give you the rest of the action right after we pause for these messages.

Right hander Donnie Moore takes over for Chicago. He's facing Rudy Meole. His first pitch is low ball one.
Dennis Lamp knocked out pitching only one third of an inning and he gave up six hits and six runs.
Meole batting 185. He drove in four runs here yesterday. Here's Moore's next delivery and it's over for a called strike one and one.
Moore has a one and two record this year of five point one four earned run average.
He has made 11 appearances all in relief.
The one one pitch to Meole low ball two.
Last year Moore relieved 11 times against the Phillies making more appearances than any other pitcher in the National League.
The two one pitch to Meole left handed batter gets a piece of it as he swings and fouls it back two balls and two strikes.
A pair of three run homers here, one by Schmidt and another by Bob Boone who incidentally nailed Dennis Lamp for a home run last year.
Has staked the Phillies to a six nothing start in this ball game and the Cubs have not even batted.
Here's a breaking ball popped up third base side but it'll go out of play into the seats.
The only batting with the bases empty and one out assuring that the Phillies will bat around here in the first inning.
We told you at the start the wind was blowing out and we have had one win eight at home run and one that probably would have been a home run here on almost any day.
The two to Meole he is out of there trying to check his swing but the pitch was over for a strike.
Second out of the inning.
And here's Randy Lurch coming to the plate before he takes the mound.
Randy batting at one hundred two hits and twenty trips to the plate.
More winds here's the pitch to Lurch breaking ball in the dirt ball one.
The Phillies with a twenty three and ten record that figures out to a six ninety seven percentage the best in baseball.
Swinging in a foul ball by Randy grounded next to the Phillies dugout.
One ball and one strike to Lurch.
Randy left handed batter.
Here's the one one pitch to him long inside ball to two and one.
Big McBride who started it all with a single left field is waiting on deck.
Here's the pitch to Lurch at a foul ball out of play down the left field line two balls and two strikes.
Reliever more winds and here's the next pitch to Lurch it's outside ball three three and two.
More staring in his foot for the time has it and here's the three to Lurch.
It's a five ball hit pretty well into left center field.
It is out of here Randy Lurch has hit a home run.
That ball was hit on the line and failed into the bleacher area and left center field.
It's the third home run of the inning for the Phillies and they lead this game seven to nothing.
I'd say it's live.
Live will be quite a day here.
Lurch hit the ball very hard.
It was a low liner and just cleared that little net over the left field bleachers.
Randy Lurch has homered for a case of tasty cake and one for United Cerebral Quality Association.
Here's Bake McBride back up there for the second time in the inning.
And the first pitch to Bake is over for a strike.
That was lifetime home run number four for Randy Lurch.
Hey Andy they look like bullets off that bat today.
They're jumping off there.
More winds and the one strike to McBride bouncing foul beyond the first base coaching box.
Bake single in his first at bat.
Phillies with three home runs among their seven hits here in the first inning.
More winds here's the 0-2 to McBride.
A pop foul on the third base side.
The wind holding that one fair now and Onoveras comes in and takes it to the out.
McBride pops out to Onoveras and the Phillies are finally retired in the first inning but they have scored seven runs on seven hits.
And nobody left on base.
At the end of a half inning it's 7-0 Philadelphia.
Well Randy Lurch has already hit a home run in this ball game and now he takes the bound for the Phillies who have staked him to a 7-0 start in this ball game
as they sent 10 men to the plate in the first inning and had three home runs among their seven hits.
Leading off for Chicago the shortstop Yvonne DeJesus who broke up Carlton's perfect game yesterday with a single in the seventh inning.
Pitch to the right handed batter is on the inside corner a called strike.
Randy is 2-2 his earned run average is 3.17.
DeJesus batting at 2-22.
Lurch winds and the next pitch is a breaking ball over for a strike nothing in two on DeJesus.
Joi Amalfatano coaching at third base.
Cookie Rojas at first for Chicago.
Cubs have lost five of their last eight games.
The two strike to DeJesus fastball low and inside.
Mike Vail is on deck.
One American League game this afternoon Cleveland leads Toronto 3-2 Indians batting in the last of the third inning.
Mark Lemongelo for the Blue Jays.
Mike Paxton for the Indians.
Here's a breaking ball bounce foul beyond third base.
Still a ball and two strikes to DeJesus.
Andre Thornton and Dave Rosello have both hit Cleveland home runs in that game.
Later this afternoon one other American League contest the White Sox play at Oakland.
The 1-2 pitch today DeJesus he lost the foul back out of play into the seats.
Evon the only Chicago player to collect more than one hit yesterday as we mentioned Carlton yielded just three and he had two of them.
1-2 pitch today DeJesus takes it low 2-2.
Last year Evon had two hits and seven at bats against the left hander Randy Lurch.
Randy beat Chicago twice last year without defeat.
The 2-2 pitch is a check swing line drive into center field a base hit.
He didn't really have a full rip at that maybe it isn't correct to say that he checked his swing it was kind of a half swing but he shot it into center field and DeJesus has a single.
You got to hold your breath today because the Cubs can loft the ball out of this ballpark also.
And a feeling that might wind up about 19 to 12.
Good thing we've got a late flight tonight.
Here's Mike Vail at the plate.
Pitch on the way to the right handed batter is top foul out of play into the upper deck.
Vail is hitting a 3-53 playing in right field as the Cubs have been platooning at least in this series with Bobby Mercer playing against right handed pitching.
Swing and a miss by Vail.
Forts ahead of him nothing and two.
Randy lifetime against Chicago is four wins and two defeats.
Stretched by the left hander and here's the pitch to Vail line drive right field and a base hit.
DeJesus will stop at second base.
So the first two Cubs batters are on.
Makes you want to go down there and grab a bat.
Never seen so many hard hit balls so early.
And you can't really blame the win for these couple by the Cubs here they have been.
Low liners well within the field of play.
Left handed batting Bill Buckner coming to the plate he's hitting a 2-46.
Comes at first and second nobody out.
The stretch by Randy and now time is called he makes the delivery and it was a curve ball but time had been called Randy didn't see it.
Billy's infield playing a double play dip.
Last game on this road trip for the police and they'll come back a winner no matter what happens here today.
They are a 9 and 4 on this trip right now and off to a 7 nothing start in this one.
Now we're ready here's the set by Lurch and the pitch on the way outside.
One ball to count the bill Buckner.
Comes remain at home they'll be hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates next beginning tomorrow afternoon.
The one nothing pitch to Buckner fastball high 2 and 0.
Time call as Pete Rose comes over to have a word with the young pitcher tomorrow night at Veterans Stadium.
You'll want to welcome the Phillies back from this sensational road trip and Dick Ruthven who is undefeated this year and has not pitched in a losing ball game will work for the Phillies against left hander Ross Grimsley who is 3 and 2.
Rufus has pitched eight times has won six of them got two no decisions but the Phillies won both those games.
The two nothing pitch to Buckner in for a called strike at the knees.
Buckner leads the Cubs in triples he's already gotten three of them.
Two balls and a strike on Buckner here's Lurch's delivery line drive into right field thinking and falling for a base hit being waved around to say hey to his evil star and the totally cut the seven to one.
The broken bad liner to right field by Buckner and the Cubs have had three straight hits but for station identification the Phillies baseball network.
You're listening to a Phillies radio the spirit of New Jersey 1350 WH WH Princeton.
Buckner with his 15th run batted in and here's a guy you got to be careful of big Dave Kingman he has seen what happened here today.
I'm betting at 279 breaking ball the Kingman is low ball one.
He has nine home runs and 44 runs batted in both figures leading Chicago.
Runners at first and second nobody out.
Stretched by Lurch in the pitch to Kingman.
And still nobody out.
Almost hit the building across the street over and waiver over Waverly Avenue and pitching coach Herms Gerrard is coming to the mound and Randy Lurch has to be a little shaken up.
Four runs still nobody out. Well that shot wasn't just a home run that was a typical King Kong shot a real mooner that just failed off his bat in a mighty arc toward left field.
And even on a normal day there would be no doubt about whether that one was going to leave here.
Number 10 for Kingman who now has 27 runs batted in.
Seven to four Phillies and the batter is Steve on a various and as Rich mentioned nobody out.
Pitch on the way to the switch hitter batting right handed is low ball one on a various leads the Cubs and hits with 36.
He carries a 313 average.
Lurch's next delivery is a squibber toward first field and on a good hop by Rose and he runs to the back for the out. That was a tough play for Rose because that ball was hit hard and was slicing away from him toward the line but Pete made the play and that's out number one.
Next up Jerry Martin Jerry three for seven in the series against his former teammates and batting 276.
We have had four home runs in the first inning of his ballgame three by the Phillies and the mighty shot by Dave Kingman fastball to Martin low and outside ball one Jerry leads the Cubs and doubles with nine.
This has got to be one of those days where no lead will be safe.
The one nothing to Martin the fastball low to an old the ex Philly connection again lined up consecutively today Jerry Martin Barry put in Ted Sizemore as the number six seven and eight hitters in Herman Frank's lineup.
The two pitch to Martin over for a strike.
Jerry's been hitting the ball well he was talking about a couple of shots that he had at Cincinnati recently that founded off the fence out there and came back into play.
Here's a line drive into the alley and right center field a base hit and more Martin will have extra bases McBride chasing it down Jerry posting into second with a double Martin gaps the ball in right center.
And that's the first hit of the first inning for Chicago with one out.
And he gets the married men off the field today.
There aren't there only cheap hit in this game as Bill Buccaneers he had the bat thought off right in his hands but outside of that everything has been hit hard stalling I think for time Bob Boone is out talking to Lurch and usually
he's got a couple of hits that they want to stall a little bit.
Doug Byrd has been up and throwing in the Phillies bullpen and here comes Danny Ozark out of the dugout and that means that Randy Lurch who has hit a home run in this ballgame and it was sent to the mound with a seven nothing start is going to leave the ballgame here in
Chicago and he cannot win Lurch just looks the ball to Ozark no conversation between the two at all and both teams have had to change pitchers in the first inning of play with only one man out in either case.
It's amazing but that's the way the story has gone here in Chicago today.
Another pitching change with the Phillies leading this game seven to four will be back in just a moment.

Right hander Doug Byrd takes over the hill for the Phillies with one down in the inning.
Jerry Martin is at second base and there's only one out. The Phillies lead this game 7 to 4.
Barry Foote is at the plate. Byrd has no one in loss record this year.
His earned run average is 6.43. He is appearing in his ninth game.
Right hander Doug Byrd acquired from Kansas City. His first pitch is in for a called strike.
Court is batting at 193. Barry has had two hits in the series, a grand slam home run and a double.
Byrd checks Martin. Here's the pitch. Breaking ball is outside. One ball and one strike.
Both starting pitchers in this game, Dennis Lamp and Randy Lurch, removed after a half, excuse me, one third inning of pitching.
Here's a little fly ball into right center field getting over his McBride and he catches it for the out.
Barry Foote hits that ball into right center field. McBride over to his right to make the catch on the run for out number two.
Here's Ted Sizemore. Sizemore is still looking for his first hit in the series.
Ted is 0 for 6 in the first two games and he's batting at 263. Martin at second, two out.
Kind of unusual when you hit a home run of the ball game but are not able to survive the first inning but that's the story for Randy Lurch today.
Here's Byrd's delivery to Sizemore and it's low ball one.
Lurch charged with five hits and four runs and of course he's responsible for Martin at second base.
Billy's lead at seven to four, first inning.
Sizemore sends a line drive into left center field a base hit. Martin being waved around.
The Cubs have scored run number five.
Sizemore with his first hit of the series and his ninth run bat of it.
Well there have been 12 runs and 13 hits in the first inning.
When's the last time you ever saw that?
Can't remember Whitey.
But if I ever did see it before it must have been here at Wrigley Field.
So the Cubs have batted around in the first inning and here's Donnie Moore at the plate and the first pitch over to him is a strike.
Here is a line drive into right center field a real gapper.
Forrest Ball is going to roll all the way to the wall.
Sizemore being waved around. He was four.
Moore is heading for third base. The relay gets away.
Moore goes halfway down the line but then holds on.
The Cubs have just scored run number six. It's a seven-six ball game.
And the Phillies got a break there. That ball headed towards the Cubs dug out.
They had a little cement wall right before it rolled into the dugout.
Had it gone in there Moore would have scored.
Unbelievable.
Donnie Moore who was 0-4 as he stood at the plate gets his first hit of the year.
A triple and the Cubs are right back in this ball game.
It is seven to six Phillies.
And we still only have two out in the Chicago first inning and their tenth man is coming to the plate.
Phillies batted ten men in the top half of this inning.
Evon DeJesus who single and scored in his first at bat.
Donnie Moore at third base. He is there without a warm-up jacket.
Stretched by Bird and the pitch to DeJesus over at the letters of strike.
Seven hits for each team.
Phillies lead the game seven to six.
Next pitch today DeJesus, a called strike. Nothing in two.
Lurch charged with five of these Chicago runs. The last one is charged to Bird.
The two-strike pitch today DeJesus.
A pop-up into shallow right field.
Blake McBride started in now sharply to his right. He stays with it for the out.
Blake made that a tough play or maybe the wind did but he stayed with it.
And listen to these Chicago fans as the Cubs down seven and nothing came back to get six runs in the innings.
On seven hits and they left one man on base.
At the end of one Phillies lead it seven to six.
Well we've been talking quite a bit about the Montreal Expos moving into town tomorrow night.
But don't forget the St. Louis Cardinals are also headed for Philadelphia.
And the Cardinals have a four game win streak right now with a two nothing lead this afternoon over Montreal in the sixth inning.
The Cardinals will be in Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night.
May 21st, 22nd and 23rd. Game time for all three next week will be 7.35.
So come on out and check out the St. Louis Cardinals who are playing good baseball.
They might well even be in the second place by that time.
We're going to the second inning here in Chicago. A seven to six lead for the Phillies.
A remarkable ball game. And here is Larry Bowe to start it.
Bowe has doubled in score.
Donnie Morris pitched to him as a hard ball down the first baseline.
Heeled it there by Buckner. Runs to the back for the out.
Larry Bowe grounds out to Buckner on one pitch.
One away in the second inning.
The batter Pete Rose. Pete won the pitch to the mound in the first inning.
And the Cubs were able to get McBride off third base at that time.
And it looked as though they might have that first inning under control.
But then Schmidt followed with a three run homer.
Then there were two singles and a three run homer by Boone.
Going outside to Rose ball one.
Then after Meoli struck out, Randy Lurch hit a home run.
To account for the seventh Phillies run, but Randy is out of the ball game.
Rose takes outside two and nothing.
Pete leading the Phillies and hits with 44 of them.
Reliever more winds and the two nothing to Rose.
Low ball three.
Barry Foote giving the home plate on fire a little heat on that last call.
He thought it was a strike.
No we aren't. We're going to see the Major League on fire as it appears possibly on Saturday.
Rose takes low ball four.
And believe it or not, this is the first walk of the ball game.
Everything else has been accomplished on hitting.
Pete Rose takes a walk.
And here's Mike Schmidt.
Mike has already hit three home runs in this series.
Mike jokingly promised four on the bus ride in from the airport the other day and he might do it yet.
Schmidt with a three run shot and his first at bat.
Pitch on the way to Mike.
High ball one.
Schmidt now has 20 career home runs in this ballpark.
He has 30 lifetime home runs against the Cubs and 12 of his 13 this year have been away from Veterans Stadium.
The delivery by more foul away by Smith.
One ball one strike.
He's going for it.
Of course the hitters know that it's this kind of a day.
They're in a kind of a short ballpark.
Short fences and a strong wind blowing out and they can't wait to get up there and swing the bat.
Pitchers might see grown men cry out there on that mound today.
We've already seen one rule.
It's what he wants to get down there and grab a bat.
Off road a first base roses back in time.
One one the count on Schmidt.
Now time is called the three RBI is by Mike.
Give him 31 for the year.
So he's only one behind the leader George Foster in that category.
The one one to Schmidt over for a strike.
Not sure I could get one out of here today even with the wind blowing up.
I think it's got to be a little harder than that.
You might get a gap or though.
The stretch by more on the one to Schmidt.
He got up under this one and it's a pop up around the middle of the infield.
They hate to shading his eyes backing off and taking it to the we have some whirling winds here as we mentioned that it's tough on these pop flies.
Freddy has popped out to DeJesus the second out of the inning.
Well here's a guy with a six game hitting streak going as the Phil's continue to get good production from their bench.
Del Answer single in his first at bat today and Del started the afternoon with a 444 average.
Well the Expos have finally scored a run.
They got one in the sixth inning at St. Louis.
Change up is outside ball one.
Cardinals lead the Expos 2 to 1 St. Louis batting last of the sixth.
Hunter swings and fouls one back out of play a strike.
The Expos went at least twenty three innings without scoring.
They lost their last game prior to the series at St. Louis and Dodger Stadium 8 to 2 and I don't know when they last scored in that game but they didn't score in the first twenty three innings at St. Louis.
Another change up is just outside.
One to answer.
A seven to six lead for the Phillies batting in the second inning here at Chicago. Rose at first with two down.
The stretch by more pitch on the way to Del.
Fly ball in the right field getting a late start as Vail. Now he comes on and he takes it to the out.
Hunter flies to Vail. Goes retired in the second. No runs. No hits. One man left on base.
We go to the Cubs second inning and it's seven to six Phillies.
The Cubs second inning will start with Mike Vail. It'll be Vail, Buckner and Kingman to face reliever Doug Byrd.
Pitch on the way. High and inside ball one.
Byrd came on in relief of Lurch in the first inning when there was only one out.
He gave up two hits and a run and the Cubs trail this game by one at seven to six Philadelphia.
Vail takes low ball. Mike single in the first inning and scored.
The first four Chicago batters hit safely in their half of the first inning.
The two nothing pitch to Vail. Swing and a miss. A strike.
In case you joined us a little late you missed some real explosions here today.
Four home runs in the first inning. Three by the Phillies.
Byrd winds and the two one pitch to Vail. Hard hit ball. Base hit in the hole and Vail has his second hit of the afternoon.
Mike Vail leads off the Chicago second with a single in the hole.
And now the Cubs have out hit the Phillies eight to seven.
Those lead the game seven to six. The batter is Bill Buckner. He got a broken bat single in the first inning.
The drive in Chicago's first run.
Buckner left handed batter. Stretch in the pitch by Byrd. Catches the outside corner of strike.
Well after Carlton three hits the Cubs yesterday you knew there were some hits in their bats.
But they have come out here in a hurry. Throw to first base stepping back in time as Vail.
He goes in the outfield play Buckner straight away. Infield set for a double play.
The pitch to Vail. Breaking ball. Bounce back to middle. And a base hit.
The only couldn't get it. Here's Vail rounding second. He'll go to third as Buckner has gotten a hit.
Singles by Vail and Buckner starts the Cubs off in the second inning and here comes Dave Kingman.
They're just getting that thing high base hit right back through the middle just out of the reach of Rudy Meole.
More trouble.
Big Don Kingman who hit a moon shot in his first at bat. One of those typical high arc jobs that he hits.
Number ten for Kingman.
Here's the first and third nobody out to pitch to Kingman. Ground ball to Schmidt. He's got it. Throw over to second for one. Back on the first. A double play.
And Vail had to stay at third base. That ball was hit so sharply to Schmidt. He turned a double play and Vail never moved.
Give Mike Schmidt a lot of credit there. He caught that ball. It was hit sharply. Had a little time. He caught the ball. He looked Vail back.
He throws Vail at third and then completed the quick double play and what surprised me they got Kingman so easy at first. He must not have gotten out of the box very well.
So two out and Vail at third base and here is Steve Onoveras, switch hitter batting left handed now and the pitch to him low and inside and a good stop by Boone.
Onoveras grounded out sharply to Pete Rose in his first at bat.
Next pitch to Onoveras again low and inside. Two nothing. A seven to six lead in the Phillies but don't get cancer about this one. Not yet.
Bird from the stretch. Pitch to Onoveras. Swing and a miss at an off speed pitch.
Two balls and a strike to Onoveras who leads the Cubs with 36 hits.
Swing and a miss by Onoveras. Two balls and two strikes.
Bird ready and here's the next delivery. A bouncing ball. First base side fielded by Rose. Just there. Run to the bag in time and the Cubs are retired in the second.
They got their first two batters on but they didn't score here in the second. No runs. Two hits and one man left on base.
At the end of two the Phillies lead seven to six and now time for a tasty break.
It takes top quality players to make a baseball team as good as the Phillies just like it takes top quality ingredients to bake cake as good as tasty cake candy cakes.
Quality things like milk, butter, eggs and chocolate. It's the way tasty cake has been baking for 65 years. Try a family pack of chocolate or peanut butter candy cakes.
Like everything from tasty cake they're all the good things wrapped up in one.

For further details call TA94800. Third inning baseball, here's Harry Callis. Alright thanks Andy. Gary Maddox leads off, punches a fly ball, shallow right, Bale coming hard, can't hold onto it.
Maddox on his way to second base with a double. A sliding effort by Mike Bale. He couldn't hang on. It'll be a double for Gary Maddox.
His second hit of the ball game, hit number eight for the Phillies. A wild one here at Wrigley. Seven-six Phillies lead, we're in the third.
Good hustle there by Maddox. Gary gunning right out of the batter's box and coasted in the second base very easily.
Here's Bob Boone, he slammed a three run homer his first time up his second home run of the year.
Either starting pitcher survived the first inning, Dennis Lamp or Randy Lurch. Both going one third of an inning.
Another pitch on the way to Boone and it's over at the knees for a called strike. Boone not happy with that call by plate umpire Dick Cavanaugh.
Boone saying if you're gonna call that on me give it to my pitcher.
Second base and nobody out. Donnie Moore stretches and the pitch to Boone a change nubbed into shallow left. Kingman will never get it. Maddox rounding third. Here's Kingman's throw to the plate.
Off target, Maddox scores. It gets by Boone or rather by foot and Boone goes up to second base.
It'll be a looping single to shallow left and an error on Kingman enabling Boone to move up to second base. Phillies lead it eight to six.
And Boone's picked up four RBIs in this game. He didn't hit that one very well. Everything was hit hard in the first inning but the Phillies now put together a couple of looping base hits.
Of course the outfielders are playing so deep today you're going to see a few of those drop in. Those short fly balls.
Boone at second base with a base hit a run batted in and an error on Dave Kingman and here's Rudy Miole. He was called out on strikes his first time up.
More stretches. Pitch to Miole. Fastball a called strike at the knees and Miole does not like that call.
Barry Foote was doing a lot of complaining on the pitches in the first couple of innings and maybe it's starting to pay off for him now.
Clay Humphreys seems to be giving him some borderline pitches. Some of the low pitches are now being called strikes.
Let's pause here for a station identification along the Phillies baseball network.
It's a hit. 1350 radio. WHWH the spirit of New Jersey.
One strike to count to Rudy Miole.
Here's a stretch by Moore and the pitch to Miole. Fastball low for a ball. It's one of one.
Donnie Moore out of Lubbock Texas.
Lifetime against the Phillies. He's 1-1 and lost one.
Ball on the strike to Miole. Boone at second base. Nobody out. A run in. We're in the third inning and the Phillies lead 8-6.
Bill's got seven in the first. The Cubs got six.
Here's the pitch to Miole. Playing at a high fly ball center field. Jerry Martin is right there waiting.
Makes the catch. Boone tagged. Here's Martin's throw. It's a good one. Boone face throw at third with a head first fly.
Jerry Martin made a very strong throw from center field. Boone just got under the tag by Onoveros.
With a head first fly. So he's at third base. With one out.
And that brings on pitcher Doug Byrd.
By the slide by Boone.
Like a Pete Rose type slide. Head first into the bag and very close play.
Byrd's been a bat twice without a hit.
By Boone third base and one out.
More stretches. Pitch to Byrd. Swing and a nubbing foul off the end of his bat into the Phillies dugout.
One strike to Byrd.
Byrd does not swing too good a bat. The Cub infield is pulled in. Doug stands well off the plate.
Doesn't look to me like he could reach an outside pitch.
Or maybe half the plate. Pitch to him. Low for a ball. It's one on one.
He'll be murder on that pitch about a foot inside though.
Falling a strike to Byrd.
One one pitch to him.
Blowing away for a ball. It's two and one to Byrd. Boone at third base. One out.
Donnie Moore stretches. The two one pitch. Swing and a foul back to the screen. It's two and two.
How the stretch by Moore. Two two pitch.
A two ball inside at the full count. Three and two to pitcher Doug Byrd. Randy Lurch had a home run in this game on the top of the first.
But he did not survive the bottom half. Taken out after one third of an inning.
Here's a three two pitch. Inside ball for he walked in.
So Donnie Moore walked in second batter. Didn't want to do that. That'll bring on Bake McBride.
He is singled and popped up. Oh sir he didn't want to do it. He should have even run a full count on him.
He should have thrown the ball in there and give his feelers a chance.
And he's in some trouble now with Bake McBride up there.
Bake one out of two. Boone at third. Doug Byrd at first base. With one out in the third inning.
Cubs are getting their bullpen into activity again. Left hander Willie Hernandez getting up the throw.
Donnie Moore stretches. The pitch to McBride way outside ball one.
Now the stretch by Moore. And the pitch to Bake. Change fly ball into center field. Not deep. Coming hard. Martin falls in for a base hit.
Boone scores Byrd to second. Phillies lead it nine to six. Ball loose to the infield but Buckner finally chases it down.
The Phillies in all honesty have not hit a ball hard. Three Texas League singles and as we mentioned earlier the outfielders are playing back so far today.
That nobody even came close to catching that ball. But two runs are in. Runners at first and second with one out.
Give McBride a run bad at it. It's 15. Phillies now lead it nine to six in the third inning. And here's Larry Boa.
Boa has doubled. Scored a run and grounded out. Byrd at second. McBride at first. Moore stretches.
And the pitch to Boa. Swing and a line drive. Base hit center field. Byrd will be held at third base as Martin rifles it in and the Phillies have the bases loaded.
Boa has sung that ball right up the middle and the Phillies have jammed for Pete Rose with one out.
It's hard to believe. 20 hits in this game already. We're in the top of the third. 15 runs scored and possibility here to get another hand full.
Here's Pete Rose. He is headed to a fielder's choice and walks. Quarter on which made him the all time run scorer in major league history by a switch hitter.
Surpassing Mickey Mantle. Cubs are doing a little stalling possibly to give Hernandez time to throw a few more pitches.
I don't believe Herman Franks wants to put a left hander in this game but he has one warming up.
Bases loaded. Byrd at third. McBride at second. Boa at first for Pete Rose with one out.
Donnie Moore wide and the pitch to be a change line shot left center field. It's extra bases.
McBride rounding third. The throw in is cut off. Fakes scores. Phillies lead it 11 to 6.
Another double for Pete Rose who's tied for the National League leadership now in two bases.
And Herman Franks was up on the dugout steps headed towards the pitcher's mound when Rose hit the ball into left center field and looks like that's going to be all for Donnie Moore.
This is an unbelievable day to hit the ball needless to say and 21 hits in the game now 12 by the Phillies 9 by the Cubs.
Phillies have opened up a five run lead again. That's going to be all for Donnie Moore and left hander Willie Hernandez is getting the not a pitching change for Chicago.
The Phillies lead 11 to 6 trying to get some more. We'll be back in a minute.

Fans, you want to bring your attention to something that's a worthy cause coming up this next Sunday.
It's fine a bit for the day and it's in Penn Sock in New Jersey at Cooper River Park.
A fine a bit of course a devastating effects on on children will tell you a little bit about as we go along.
Gary Maddox and Mike Schmidt will be over there along with a lot of other athletes are going to walk.
Mike Schmidt here intentionally to load the bases on that's fine a bit for the day.
It's in Cooper River Park in Penn Sock in New Jersey.
Mike Schmidt, Gary Maddox will be there.
Steve Mix of the 76ers, Bill Barber, Paul Holmgren of the Flyers.
Doug Collins will also be there.
A lot of the Eagles coach Dick Vermeel, Ron Jaworski, Harold Carmichael, Vince Pappelli.
The chairman of it is John Bunning.
The Eagles linebacker very worthy cause that's this coming Sunday at Cooper River Park, Penn Sock in New Jersey.
Mike Schmidt has been intentionally walked to load the bases with one out here.
Del Unter is single and flied out to right.
Willie Hernandez appearing in his ninth game all have been a relief.
He was supposed to get a start at Houston but then last minute changed by Herman Franks and he didn't start the game.
His earned run average is 2.81. He has no record.
Bases loaded one out here is the pitch to Del Unter.
A breaking ball is in the dirt for a ball.
Billy's leading this game 11 to 6 were in the third inning.
Oh a third rose at second Schmidt at first.
Here's the pitch on the way to Unter. A fastball that's wide for a ball that's two and nothing.
He will have no strikes to Del Unter.
Hernandez winds here's the 2-0 pitch. Fastball is sky down the left field foul line.
Kingman chasing but it's blowing back into the seat and on a play it's two and one to Del Unter.
Billy's has scored four here in the third inning. Lee this game 11 to 6.
Still only one out.
Willie Hernandez looks in for the side from Barry Foote.
Here's the 2-1 pitch. Fastball top foul off the plate. Two and two to count to Del Unter.
Gary Mannox who started this third inning with a looping double to right is waiting on deck.
Here's a wind up by Hernandez the 2-2 pitch.
A little dribbler down the first base side coming in to score as Boa. Unter's tagged out on the base path.
And the Phillies now lead it 12 to 6. Give Unter a run batted in.
A little tap down the first base side. He was tagged out by Bill Buckner but he moved everybody up and drives in a run.
Boa scoring. Rose to third. Schmidt to second. And that will bring on Gary Mannox.
Bill's now lead it 12 to 6.
Mannox is singled and doubled. He's scored a pair of runs.
Here's a pitch to Gary. Breaking ball hit high in the air to deep left center field.
Martin a way back. Out of here home run. Gary Mannox a three run shot and it's now 15 to 6 Phillies.
I tell you that is hard to believe. The wind really helped that ball. Gary hit it at least fair.
He hit it on the good part of the bat. He got under it but that's all you have to do is get it out there a decent distance and the wind will do the rest.
That was a windblown job and he'll take it. So Gary's had quite a ball game.
Three for three single double and Homer he drives in runs number 19, 20 and 21.
Here's Bob Boone and Boone is hit by a pitch. Boone picks up the ball and throws it out as he's walking down to first base.
Boone hit by a pitch ball and that'll bring on Rudy Meole.
I think that was just something that Hernandez had to do to kind of keep his self respect.
He plunked Boone on the leg I believe it was. It's kind of an eye wash pitch I suppose.
Gary Mannox home run for a case of tasty cake for him and wife Sandra and son Gary Lee Jr. and Derek and also one for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Philadelphia.
Here's Rudy Meole. Pitch to him fastball on the inside corner for a called strike. Rudy has struck out and fly it out.
Boone at first base. Two out. Eight runs in in the inning. Phillies lead 15 to six.
Pitch to Meole. A good breaking ball for a called strike and Rudy is down nothing and two.
Phillies have batted around plus two in the third inning. The Phillies batted around plus one in the first.
Here's the pitch to Meole. Fastball. I am tight for a ball.
Foreboard says two and one. I thought he called that second pitch a strike.
It is two and one. All right.
Hernandez stretches. Here's the pitch to Meole. Swing and a line drive base hit left field.
Kingman gets it back into the infield and Meole has his first hit of the ballgame and that'll bring out pitcher Doug Byrd batting for the second time in this inning.
He walked in his first at bat.
Phillies have 14 hits in the third inning. 15 runs.
Here's Byrd. Pitch to him. Fouled off the end of his bat.
Now the first base done.
One strike to Doug Byrd.
15-6 Phillies were in the third.
Now the stretch by Hernandez.
And the pitch to Byrd. Fastball low and it's one and one.
Bob Booth at second. Rudy Meole at first.
Two outs in the inning.
Byrd the 13th hitter.
Bad for the Phillies in this inning. Here's another foul ball off the end of his bat. Fallen two strikes to Doug Byrd.
Walked by Donnie Moore to Doug Byrd earlier in this inning. Proved very costly.
Phillies kept an inning alive.
One-two pitch. Swing and a miss. Struck him out with a breaking ball.
So Byrd goes down swinging. The Phillies are down in the third inning.
But score eight runs.
Seven hits. One cub error. Two men left.
We go to the bottom of the third. It's Phillies 15, Chicago 6.
It's just as important to score high when you buy a car as it is in sports.
And the all the way team of great guys at Chrysler Plymouth are ready to give you the biggest score you've ever made.
When it comes to getting the right service, selection, and value.
And the car that gives you the highest score on the highway.

When you drive one of the great Chrysler Plymouth cars you score highest of all.
Come out a winner at Susquehanna Valley White in Sells Grille, Pennsylvania.
Fact. The greatest damage to your car's engine occurs when it's cold and you start it.
In fact, 90% of engine wear is starting wear.
Fact. The black motor oil, arco graphite, protects your engine better than any other leading motor oil.
Because arco graphite reduces friction better than any other leading motor oil.
Why? Arco graphite has two lubricants.
Premium motor oil plus anti-friction graphite that still clings to engine parts long after other oils have drifted away.
Because of arco graphite, your engine's moving parts are also lubricated with graphite.
That's why it's a fact that arco graphite gives your engine better protection than any other leading motor oil.
And it's also a fact that arco graphite is competitively priced with other leading motor oil.
Arco graphite. It's a fact, not friction.
Now listen to this. You can get a free oil filter when you buy five quarts of arco graphite motor oil at participating arco service stations.
So whether you change your own oil or have someone else do it, ask for the free oil filter at participating arco stations.
Offer good through June 30th.
Final half of the third inning, Jerry Martin leads off with a Cubs.
Byrd's pitch to him is a little bit low for a ball.
Martin has doubled and scored a run.
Doug Byrd came in on the first inning for Randy Lurch. Pitch on the way is a fastball that's over for a cold strike. It's one-on-one.
There's a one-one pitch to Jerry Martin. Ground ball hits a deep short club by Larry Boy.
His throw and Martin is now one down.
That'll bring on Barry Foote. Foote flied out to right his first time up. Billy scored seven runs in the first inning, eight in the third, in the top half of this inning, and lead this game 15 to six.
One down in Chicago's third inning.
Bird winds. Here's the pitch to Foote. Fastball is over for a cold strike.
Now the Cubs' six runs. Five charged to Randy Lurch, one to Doug Byrd.
One strike pitch. That pound ball that dropped in low for a ball. It's one-on-one.
Billy's back home tomorrow night after this long road trip against the Montreal Expos.
Dick Ruthen, six and oh, will go for the Pills. Ross Grimsley going for Montreal.
Here's a swing and a miss at a good pound ball by Foote, and he finds himself in the hole. One ball and two strikes.
Here's the one-two pitch. Fastball grounded sharply to Schmidt. Off his glove, picks it up, throws.
Oh, got him. Foote does not motor all that well, and Schmidt had time to recover on a sharply hit ground ball.
Footy is out two down, and that'll bring on Ted Sizemore.
Sizemore is single to drive in a run. He also scored a run his first time up.
Two outs and nobody on base.
Wind up by Byrd. The pitch to Sizemore. Looper into shallow right field. It's going to fall for a hit.
So Sizemore has his second hit of the ball game, a looping single to right for the Cubs, hit number ten.
That'll bring on the pitcher, Willie Hernandez.
Hernandez has not been a Baptist here. This will be his first at bat.
Lifetime, he's hitting old 59. Pitch to him is a strike called.
Hernandez has been a Baptist 17 times lifetime in the Major League. One hit.
Here's a pitch to him on the outside corner for a called strike, and he's quickly down, nothing and two.
Sizemore first base, two outs.
Billy's leading 15 to six, bottom of the third. Pitch to Hernandez. He checked his swing on a low inside breaking ball and fell down at the plate.
He started his swing, checked and fell down in a clump at the plate. One and two to Willie Hernandez.
One, two pitch to him, swing and a miss. He's got him. Willie Hernandez goes down, swinging.
First strike out for Bird for the Cubs in the third. No runs, a hit, no errors. One left.
After three, it's Billy's 15, Chicago's six.
Want to make a great catch? Then go to Geno's for crispy fish. It's one beautiful fish. White tender fish fillet, fried up light and crispy.
Bandwitch or platter, Geno's crispy fish always lives up to its name. So go for a winning catch. Go to Geno's for crispy fish.
So Dominic DeCara, the buyer of the National Buyers Exchange in the Ewing Shopping Center on Parkway Avenue, turned to me and said, tell them all about outdoor living.
Like they have a three-piece redwood stained umbrella table set with two benches for only $69.97.
They have folding director's chairs at only $18.63 each. And he asked me to even throw in the fact that they have Phillies Ticketron tickets available as well at the National Buyers Exchange in the Ewing Shopping Center on Parkway Avenue.
And I turned to Dominic DeCara and I said, don't bother me. I'm listening to the Phillies.

Meg McBride leads off with a Phillies here in the fourth inning. Hernandez pitched to him a fastball on the inside corner for a called strike.
Fake is two out of three is twice singles. Wind up by Hernandez, one strike pitch, high for a ball.
Phillies scored seven in the first inning, eight in the third inning, and lead this game 15 to six.
Here's the one-one pitch to McBride, a breaking ball and a swing and a miss.
Ball and two strikes to fake.
Wind up by Willie Hernandez, one-two pitch, swing and a pop foul.
It's coming back, foot is giving chase, but it's out of play.
One and two to McBride.
Six runs, charge of the starter, Dennis Lamb, Donnie Moore, charged with seven, and Willie Hernandez, two.
We're only in the fourth inning and it's 15 to six. One-two pitch, playing and a ground ball foul into the Phillies dugout, just out of the grasp of Danny Ozark.
Ball and two strikes to McBride.
One-two pitch, sidearm pitch is fouled back to the screen, fake stays alive, a one and two.
Wind up by Willie Hernandez, one-two pitch, sidearm pass, ball fouled back to the screen again.
One and two to McBride leading off the Phillies score. One-two pitch to him, a breaking ball, up to center field, Jerry Martin drifting back, he's there near the warning track and makes the catch.
So McBride is out one down, that'll bring up Larry Boa. Ball is two out of three, his double grab is out and the Phillies scored a fair run.
Larry batting right against Willie Hernandez.
Here's the pitch to Boa, high foul down the first base side out of play.
One strike to Larry Boa.
Line up by Hernandez, pitch to Boa, swing another foul ball off the end of his pass to the screen and Boa's down, nothing and two.
Larry has been a much better hitter left-handed than right this year, 322 left-handed, right-handed just 214.
Here's the two strike pitch, fastball, didn't miss by much. Ball and two strikes to Boa, both foot and Hernandez thought it was there.
Line up by Hernandez, one-two pitch, swing and a ground ball foul down the third base side.
Oh, a cracked is bad on the foul ball, we'll get a different one.
Ball and two strikes to Boa, that's far easier for station identification along the Phillies baseball network.
After the game, stay tuned for more great entertainment on WHWH 1350 Princeton, the spirit of New Jersey.
One-two pitch to Boa, ground ball in the hole, a base hit to left field, Larry Boa grounds a single left between Anaveras and DeJesus, that is his third hit of the ball game and for the Phillies hit number 15.
He'll bring on Pete Rose, Rose is one out of two, is grounded into a fielder's choice, walks and doubles, he's knocked in two runs and scored two.
Montreal batting in the ninth inning, their last chance against St. Louis, trailing two to one in the ninth.
Dan Schachttitter against Silvio Martinez, there's the pitch to Rose, fastball is over for a cold strike.
The American League, Cleveland leads Toronto 6-3 after 6 behind Mike Paxton, Andre Thornton, Dave Rossello and Toby Harrah of all homers for Cleveland.
Hernandez stretches, the pitch to Pete Rose, a change and a swing and a miss.
Coming in two to Pete Rose.
Larry Boa first base, one out fourth inning, Phillies lead 15-6.
Willie Hernandez stretches and the pitch to Pete is just low for the ball, what thought that pitch was there, it's one ball and two strikes.
One and two to Rose, Boa first base, one out.
Now the stretch by Hernandez, steps off the rubber, Boa not taking a big lead at first base.
Hernandez calls out Barry Foote for a chap.
And Mike Roark, the pitching coach, also going out.
What good conference is all about, can't imagine what it is, one ball two strikes count, Foote has been very upset by some calls for the home plate umpire but I don't think we have a conference at the mound because of that.
Roark comes back to the dugout, ball and two strikes to Pete Rose with Boa at first base.
Here's a stretch by Hernandez, one two pitch, low in the dirt, it's two and two.
Now the stretch by Willie Hernandez, two two pitch, swing and a line shot to right center field, extra bases.
Larry Boa scampering around third, he's being weighed home, Pete Rose at second with a double, the Phillies lead at 16 to 6.
Rose's second double of the game, he now leads the league in two base hits.
He did last year with 51 and he has 14 this year.
He's really hitting a lot of line drives and almost every one of them when they get over the infield they seem to be in the gap, he has that stroke for it and it's like they're going to walk Mike Schmidt once again intentionally.
Well Schmidt he predicted that he'd hit four home runs in this three game set, they're not going to give him a chance, he hit one his first time up, popped up in his second at bat and this will be the second straight time he will be intentionally walked.
Putting fell runners at first and second with one down for Dell Hunter.
Dell Hunter, Kelly's now leading by a score of 16 to 6, we are in the top half of the fourth inning.
Here's Dell Hunter, Hunter is single, fly to right and grounded out, score to run, he's one out of three.
Stretch by Willie Hernandez and the pitch breaking ball, it misses low for a ball, foot might have been crossed up by that pitch, he calls time out and goes out to talk to Willie Hernandez.
He was, there's no doubt about it, he was up there for a fast ball and then had to come down quickly on the curve ball, sometimes the runner on second base will change the signs and sometimes the pitcher forgets about that.
Here's a stretch by Hernandez and the pitch, fast ball is high for a ball, it's two and nothing to Dell Hunter.
He goes out in front 16 to 6, it's only the fourth inning.
Here's the 2-0 pitch, playing a big swing and a foul in and out of the glove of Barry Foote and it's two and one.
Hunter was trying to get one up into that wind, he really had a big rip at the ball.
He throws it second, Mike Schmidt at first.
Hernandez stretches, 2-1 pitch, breaking ball, grounded sharply to second, that might be two to DeJesus, one relay, not in time, DeJesus couldn't dig it out.
Hunter save the first on a fielder's choice, moving up to third base, T. Rose, fourth to second, Mike Schmidt for out number two in the inning.
That'll bring on Gary Mattoff, Mattoff's had quite an afternoon, 3 for 3 a single, double and homer.
He has four three runs and knocked in three runs.
Hernandez stretches, pitch to Mattoff, breaking ball, he chased it, swing and a miss.
Mattoff committed himself on a breaking ball that bounced up there, one strike to it.
Out of pitch to Gary, swagger to drive into a right center field, it's a gap for a drop in for a hit, Rose scores on his way to third base as Hunter Mattoff slides in with a double.
Gary is 4 for 4 with five runs batted in and the Phillies now lead it 17 to 6.
Mattoff is hurt though, running out the double and he's, I think he's pulled a muscle.
Gary up slowly, Tony Taylor is out there and Don Seeger coming up.
Mattoff coming up after the slide at second base, might have pulled a muscle, certainly old now with Greg Ludzinski out.
Gary Mattoff who has had four for four this afternoon is just standing on the bag at second base and he's going to be taken out of this ballgame.
Yes sir, he's had quite a day, he's limping off, I suppose it's at least a slight muscle pull the way he's walking off.
It appears that it wouldn't be all that bad but it would be a good time to get him out of there with a 17 to 6 lead.
Greg Gross will come out and pinch run for Gary Maddox who leaves the ballgame 4 for 4, four runs batted in and three runs scored.
The one through third base, Gross at second base and that'll bring on Babu. Greg Gross will stay in the ballgame and play center field.
Here's Babu, he'll be intentionally walked the second intentional walk in this inning and the third intentional walk issued by Willie Hernandez, his fourth walk since coming in there.
They'll load the bases and pitch to Rudy Meole. Willie's lead this game now by a score of 17 to 6, we're in the fourth inning.
And the bases will be loaded after Boone has served up an intentional walk. Boone is homered, singled, then hit by a pitch ball and walk. Bob is knocked in four runs and scored two.
Here's Rudy Meole, the Phillies batted around plus one in the first, batted around plus four in the third and Meole is the eighth hitter to come to bat in the fourth.
The Phillies leading at 17 to 6. Meole's one out of three is singled. Pitch to him, pass ball is low for a ball.
Now the 1-0 pitch to Rudy is over for a called strike at 1-1. That was your third, Greg Gross at second, Bob Boone at first.
Here's the 1-1 pitch, playing in a bouncing ball hit softly to short day to size more for the fours on Boone and the Phillies are retired in the fourth inning. On the Phillies add on two more runs in the fourth, three hits.
No cover, two men left, we go to the bottom half of the fourth inning with a score of 17 to the cup six and now it's time for a tasty break.
The Phillies have really earned themselves a terrific following. Tasty Cake has too because for 65 years Tasty Cake has been pleasing people with consistently great tasting cake like regular and cream filled coffee cake and the secret to this success is simple.

Right gross who came in a fifth run for Gary Maddox who might have pulled a muscle on his last hit of double and had to leave the ballgame.
We'll get a report on Gary as soon as we hear from trainer Don Seeger.
Gross has come in to play center field for the Phillies. Here's Yvonne DeJesus and he takes a fish low for a ball.
Hey hey, Seuss is singled and flied out to right field.
Bottom half of the fourth Phillies lead this game 17 to 6.
Here's the pitch today, Seuss and it's low, it's 2 to nothing.
Doug Byrd has been in there since the first inning he came on for Randy Lurch. Lurch charged with five runs and one third of an inning. Byrd has given up one run.
Hey, Seuss popped a foul back into the upper deck.
2 and 1 to Yvonne DeJesus.
Tony Salida has done a home run for Montreal in the ninth inning with nobody on his third of the year and that tied that ballgame.
It's 2-2 to St. Louis.
Here's the 2-1 fish.
Old strike fastball up around the letters. It's 2 and 2 to Yvonne DeJesus.
Wind up by Byrd, the 2-2 pitch. Flag and a miss. Stuck him out with a pound ball. Second strikeout for Doug Byrd.
One down here in the fourth inning that will bring out Mike Vail. He's 2 for 2 with a couple of singles.
Phillies got seven runs in the first, eight in the third, two in the top half of this inning and lead 15, or rather 17 to 6.
The pitch is low to Mike Vail for a ball.
1-0 pitch to Vail, swing and a foul back to the screen. It's one ball, one strike.
There's the 1-1 pitch to Vail, a check swing foul on the pound ball down the first base side.
Ball and two strikes to it. Dave Kingman is at a Chicago home run this afternoon. His tenth of the year, Mike Schmidt is in for 13.
Randy Lurch is first, Bob Boone is second. Gary Maddox is sixth.
1-2 pitch. Line drive, Vail has his third hit of the ball game in the left center field.
Hunter over to cut it off and Vail will hold it first with a single.
So Vail is 3 for 3. All of them singles, that's hit number 11 for the Cubs.
That'll bring up Bill Buckner. He's 2 for 2 with a couple of singles.
He is driven in the run.
Mike Vail first, base 1-0.
Here's the pitch to Buckner, fastball is high for a ball.
Now the pitch to Buckner is low, ball 2, it's 2 and nothing.
Here's the pitch to Buckner outside, ball 3, it's 3 and 0.
Pitchers are up and open for the Chicago Whiteside, Ken Cravey, and for Oakland, Rick Langford.
3-0 pitch to Buckner, it's over for a called strike, it's 3 and 1.
Mike Vail first, base 1-0. Bottom of the fourth, Billy's lead, 17-6.
Here's the pitch to Buckner, playing at a high fly ball in the left field.
Dellinger is there, he waits to make the catch and Buckner is out, that's 2 down.
That'll bring out Big Dave Kingman, he's plugged a 3-run home run and has grounded into a double play.
Kingman leads the Cubs and Homers with Danny now has 27 runs out of there.
The pitch to Kingman, tried to check his playing, committed himself on a pound ball, it's one strike to Dave Kingman.
Kingman now argues with the plate umpire, Dick Cavanaugh, saying why don't you check with the first base umpire about check-swing.
Cavanaugh called it himself, he committed himself.
Plate umpire can call the check-swing if he feels the hitter is taking a full cut.
He's not certain they can add to a field as one of the base umpires.
Here's the pitch to Kingman, fastball didn't miss by much, a little bit outside, it's one on one.
Whitevale first base and 2 out.
Here's the pitch to Kingman, very high for a ball, over the top of his head, a 2 and 1.
Here's a stretch by Byrne and the pitch, playing in a foul back for the 3.
2 and 2 to Dave Kingman.
Doug Byrd gets back on the rubber, Billy's back home tomorrow night against the Montreal Expos.
Dick Rueb's in going for the bill, 6 and 0 against Ross Brinkley, 8-0-5, start-die.
Pitch to Kingman, a slider misses outside, it's a full count.
Whitevale will be moving from first base, with 2 out.
Pitch to Kingman, playing in a foul straight back.
Remains 3 and 2 to Dave Kingman.
7.35 on Saturday night.
It'll be Larry Christensen in his first start against Steve Rogers, that'll be Kodak Cameron.
I don't think he'll be put on the field from 6.15 to 6.45.
Take photos of their favorite players.
Again the 3-2 pitch.
Playing and there she goes and it's fair, it is way out of here.
A tremendous home run that hits the folding across the street.
David's game, second home run of his ball game, is 11th of the year and he strikes that baby.
The score is now Billy's 17, Chicago 8.
Did he ever, he had a couple of rips earlier and could have hit it.
He did hit this one, there's a 3-story building over the left field fence.
He hit it up there around the 3rd story.
Oh, the Billy's lead is not denied.
17 to 8 ball game with the 4th inning out of Arizona.
The foul went out of court.
Kingman's knocked in 5 runs with his 2 homers.
He now has 11 homers in 29 runs.
That's it and he's got to really...
We're experiencing a momentary problem in transmission of our Billy's game.
We'll return to moments from now.
Gordon knows that this problem is real.
If Gordon's humor knows how to feel.
He needs to know the right way for his existence.
A very special way to say a different summary.
A diamond ring that says the Lord is real.
If Gordon's humor knows how to feel.
He can help you show how you feel inside the line.
And we can help you say that there's money.
If Gordon's humor knows how to feel.
We know how you feel.
We're experiencing a momentary problem with our transmission of the Billy's Cubs game.
We should return to Wrigley Field moments from now.
Here's Paul Anka for McDonald's.

Everybody, we all can do it.

Nobody else has got the speed of the match.
Nobody has the flavor to try it.
Come and try it.
Nobody deserves to back down.
Nobody can.
You're the reason we do it.
Nobody can do it like McDonald's can.
Brown House will get a big match.
Northeast winds bring fair weather tonight with a low near 50 degrees.

Then look forward to become partly sunny on Saturday with a high in the mid-70s.
That's our look at the weather from WHWH Weather Central.

We now return to Wrigley Field in Chicago for today's Phillies Cubs game.
Back at Wrigley Field in Chicago, it is 17-9 the Phillies lead. We move to the fifth inning.
Here's Richeck.
Okay Harry, and Greg Lazyski is coming out the bat for Chuck Byrd.
The goal's first time at bat, since he hurt his leg in San Francisco.
Facing LeXander Willie Hernandez, the first pitch to Lazyski is inside ball one and Harry Foote is complaining about that pitch.
So Lazyski trying to get in the act batting 275 as he steps in. It'll be Lazyski, McBride and Coa, the first three batters here in the fifth and a 17-9 game.
Pitch to the ball is fouled back and he had a cut.
There have been 26 runs scored on 30 hits in this game.
We're only in the fifth inning.
The 1-1 pitch bounces up there too and one to count to Lazyski.
Though Doug Byrd will leave the game, Todd McGraw is warming up in the bullpen. He'll be the next Phillies pitcher and I guess the manager would almost have to ask for volunteers to get out there today.
Everybody has been touched up that's been in there.
Lazyski takes high and outside, three and one to count to the ball.
Kingman has hit two home runs and if you put them together you might wind up in Milwaukee.
3-1 pitch to Lazyski.
Fly ball, pull, foul.
Craig wants to swing, you can tell that.
It's like he chased a bad pitch there.
Full count to Lazyski.
He wants a shot at this win too.
Blowing hard straight out. 3-2 pitch.
Check swing, foul ball.
Hernandez going with a change up on the 3-2 pitch and Lazyski fouled it off.
Count will stay at 3-2.
I like scoring in a ball game.
Really have it here this afternoon in Wrigley Field.
The 3-2 pitch once more. High outside, ball four.
Lazyski walks.
And Bateman-Bride coming on.
Looks like Nino Espinosa is coming out to run for Lazyski.
Always hate to see a pitcher pinch around or they get hurt a lot.
Buddy Schultz now pitching for the Cardinals in the 10th inning. Montreal and St. Louis tied it 2-2 at the top of the 10th.
Oh, Bateman-Bride is 2 for 4.
Two runs scored.
A run batted in.
Espinosa is running for Lazyski.
Greg will hope to get into action this weekend against Montreal at Veterans Stadium.
McBride takes high ball one.
McBride is playing Montreal starting tomorrow night and Dick Ruppen will be pitching that when Dick is 6-0 on the season.
Pitch to McBride.
Ground ball into the outfield.
That first base hit.
Espinosa stopping at second base and the Phillies have something going again.
Runners on first and second, nobody out and this scorecard is un-cyperable.
If there is such a word, here's Larry Boa up there. Boa's had a good day.
Two singles and a double. Three runs scored.
Larry probably over that 300 mark now.
Nobody out too on Phillies leading 17-9.
Hernandez out of the stretch checks the runners. A pitch.
Boa pops one down the right field side. This could be trouble coming on.
Drops for a base hit. Oh!
Rolling towards the bullpen.
Here comes Espinosa around trying to score and he does and the Phillies lead it 18-9.
Boa into second with a pop fly double. McBride stops at third.
Unbelievable.
Still nobody out. Boa getting his fourth base hit again. He'll get a run batted in.
Runners at second and third. Nobody out.
Phillies lead it 18-9. Here's Pete Rose.
Rose is two for three. Two doubles. Three runs batted in. A run scored.
This is unbelievable.
The Phillies are hitting them hard. They're dropping in. They're hitting them soft. They're dropping in.
Boa with a Texas League double. A drop between Sizemore and Mike Vail.
Close to the chalk and right field. Here's Pete Rose.
Hernandez will pitch out of a windup. Rose takes a call strike.
Infield is on the left side. In a little bit.
One strike pitch outside. One and one to count to Rose.
This is an unbelievable ballgame. 18-9 Phillies in the top of the fifth.
Chance to get another handful here. Rose grounds one.
Shortstop dropped by DeJesus. He drops it again.
Rose is safe on the air. McBride scores and the Phillies lead it 19-9.
And there on day DeJesus give Rose a run batted in.
Boa had to hold it second.
Let's pause quickly for station identification. This is the Phillies baseball network.
The front says the UDQ today. The back says I did it. What's it all about?
It's the famous Dairy Queen t-shirt now available at all participating Dairy Queens.
Get yours today. All sizes. Only $249.
Mike Schmidt the batter. Runners at first and second. Still nobody out.
Hernandez out of the stretch. The pitch. Schmidt takes outside. Ball one.
Schmidt twice has been intentionally walked. He's popped out and he's hit a free run.
Homer is officially one for two. Go on. Second. Rose on first. Still nobody out.
Hernandez. He's got it.
One and one. The count to Mike Schmidt. 19-9. The Phillies lead. Still nobody out. Two on.
Only in the fifth inning.
The one-way run.
The Phillies lead.
Only in the fifth inning.
The one-one pitch. Schmidt takes a call strike. One and two to count.
Both bulls are working.
Hernandez wants Barry Foote to go through the signs again. I guess it doesn't make much difference what you throw today.
Phillies have 19 hits.
The pitch. Ball back.
Down with hold it. One and two.
Barry Schwartzer yesterday at the ball game from Huntington Valley.
And we have Gordon Storholm and his son here today from Sherry Hill, New Jersey.
Here's the one-two pitch to Mike Schmidt. Outside. Two and two to count.
Ball is on second. Rose on first.
Scoreboard looks like a football scoreboard today.
Hernandez checks the runners. Two-two pitch. Schmidt grounds one hard foul pass third.
So Mike Schmidt hanging tough on the two-two count.
Nineteen to nine.
In the top of the fifth inning.
It was like a long time ago when the starting pitchers were in here. Dennis Lamp and Randy Lurch. Either one of them got through the first inning.
Pitch to Schmidt is just inside and a count of three and two on Schmidt.
Runners probably will be going.
Full count to Schmidt.
Schmidt looking for something he can get up in the air.
Hernandez sets.
The runners hole. Schmidt grounds it foul. Actually hit it twice on the pitch and on the bounce.
Runners were not going. They held. Boy and Rose.
And we start over again.
Hernandez taking some extra time. And why not? Every time you kill the ball today something bad happens to it.
He sets. Check the runners. The pitch.
By and outside. Ball four and the bases are loaded. Nobody out.
Ball is coming to third. Rose to second. Schmidt to first.
And down onto the batter pitching coach Mike Rourke out there again.
Talking to Willie Hernandez. Hernandez facing the left handed hitting Dallons.
Unsure is officially one for four. With a single or run battered in and a run scored. Bases loaded. Nobody out and the Phillies leading 19 to 9.
You're in the top of the fifth.
Infield stays back.
Hernandez will pitch out of the wind up. First pitch to Dallons. Unsure takes the fastball over for a cold strike.
Unsure hitting over 400 at the start of the game.
Pitch to Hunter. Fly ball center field. Jerry Martin is there. Makes the catch. Ball is tagged. He'll score easily. Rose is coming to third and he's fake.
Rose scores and the Phillies lead it 20 to 9.
Unbelievable. Pete Rose tagged. Made a good try going into third.
Unsure will get a run batted in on the sacrifice fly.
Runners at first and third one down. Greg Gross the batter.
And the Phillies lead it 20 to 9. Runners at first and third one out.
Greg Gross in the ball game came in when Maddox hurries Blake running out of double.
First pitch to Gross. Check swing foul ball. Strike one on Gross.
Rose the third. Schmidt at first. One out.
Phillies have 20 runs on 19 hits.
Here's the one strike pitch.
Gross fly ball. Deep left field. Kingman going back. Going back to the warning track. Makes the catch in front of the fence.
Rose tags. Scores and the Phillies lead it 21 to 9.
As Schmidt tags up at first and goes to second.
Greg Gross almost had one to the fence.
But Big Dave Kingman caught it with his back against the wall.
Gross will get a run batted in on a sacrifice fly.
This is hard to believe. 21 to 9. We're in the top of the fifth. They're going to walk Bob Boone intentionally.
Well Herman Franks is still employing baseball strategy here.
Trailing 21 to 9. He's walking Bob Boone intentionally to get the Rudy Meole.
Scorecards we have are.
You just can't make any sense out of them.
Innings running into innings.
Boone gets the intentional off. The Phillies have runners at first and second.
Two outs in the bat of Rudy Meole. He's won for four with a single.
That leads off second. Boone off first. Boone had a.
Having a great day. He's been on five straight times to walk hit by a pitch a single and a three run homer with four runs batted in.
The only takes a called strike.
Phillies lead 21 to 9. We're in the top of the fifth.
There's a seven and eight up there a two and a four.
Cubs have nine runs. They scored six in the first inning.
Three in the fourth.
They only take the pitch high in the count as one one.
Well.
They only get on Nino Espinosa who came in as a pinch runner.
Due to bad.
He may get a swipe at him.
One one pitch swing in a minute.
Good pitch by Hernandez in the count of one ball two strikes on the only.
He started this with a.
Walk.
The only take no ball to.
To and to the count.
The only count. Phillies lead 21 to 9.
Top of the fifth inning.
A lot of runs scored and they'll no doubt be some more.
To and to the count to me only left handed or left handed.
The runners lead off.
Here's the pitch.
The ball three.
Count to me only the runners will be going on this pitch.
We're only in the fifth inning my scorecard is filling over into the six.
Full count to me only.
The pitch.
Hernandez.

But also their base is loaded to out.
The.
But they scored four runs I don't know how many hits there was one error there were three left on.
Cubs batting in the bottom of the fifth with the score the Phillies 21.
Chicago nine.

But they have a three piece redwood stained umbrella table set with two benches for only sixty nine ninety seven.
They have folding directors chairs at only eighteen sixty three each and he asked me to even throw in the fact that they have Phillies Ticketron tickets available as well at the National Buyers Exchange in the Ewing shopping center on Parkway Avenue.
And I turned to Dominic DeCara and I said don't bother me.
I'm listening to the Phillies.
Well it looks like a little problem out there at Wrigley Field in Chicago. We'll be returning to the Cubs Phillies game momentarily.

Found the strike zone with a couple of fastballs.
The 21 tonight.
The top half of the base is loaded.
Nobody out.
Full count to Yvonne Dehezue.
McGraw's pitch.
No one inside ball four.
Dehezue drops and that'll walk in a run
as foot crosses on plate.
And the score now is 21 to 10.
Still nobody out in the bases are loaded.
Dehezue's the run.
This is unbelievable.
Here's Mike Vail who's three for three, three singles.

Dillard on second.
Dehezue's on first.
Here's the one strike pitch.
High and outside.
One and one to count to Mike Vail.
Still he's leading out 21 to 10.
Some of you are trying to score a handful here.
One one pitch is high ball two.
Doug is not getting his breaking pitch over.
Curve ball or screw ball.
And the count is two and one.
Two one pitch.
Pop up.
Yellow right center field.
Greg Gross coming on under the ball.
Makes the catch.
Dyes more is going to hold the third base.
So that's a big out for Cudden McGraw.
As Vail flies into shallow center field.
He's got a little bit of a lead on the outside.
Big out for Cudden McGraw as Vail flies into shallow center field.
The runners hell.
That'll bring to bat Bill Buckner who's two to three with a couple of singles.
A run scored and a run batted in.
Base was loaded one down.
In field still back to double play depthers.
McGraw pitching out of a lined up.
Buckner takes high ball one.

The Cubs are trying to get some more here.
McGraw's pitch is high again.
Ball two.
And big Dave Kingman is up there next.
He's already hit two state major home runs in the game.
He's not in five runs.
Ball two to count to Bill Buckner.
The pitch a called strike.
Two and one to count to Buckner.
Base is loaded one out.
Here's the two one pitch.
Fly ball deep right center field.
This is going to be a grand cover.
Oh brother.
A grand stretch.
It's now twenty one.
Unbelievable.
Oh boy.
Buckner really unloaded a line shot into the right center field.
And it's now twenty one to fourteen.
We're only in the bottom of the fifth.
Bill only one out.
The batters Dave Kingman who's already hit two home runs.
And knocked in five runs.
Unbelievable ball game.
First pitch today.
Kingman way high outside ball one.
Twenty one to fourteen here in the bottom of the fifth.
Thirty one to twenty one.
Thirty four hits in the game.
Thirty five runs.
Kingman.
Swing foul ball.
The count is one one.
Unbelievable ball game.
The one one.
Already with a one one.
The Kingman.
Back.
He takes the bad.
Cardinal Montreal game has been.
The catcher playing.
The big game.
Inside an account of two and two.
So that's suspended game.
Will be completed on June twenty fifth when Montreal goes back to St.
Louis.
Here's the pitch.
Bounces up there.
Control is really off.
That ball bounced out in front of home plate by ten feet.
Full count now to Kingman.
The ball is out of the bat.
Pitching with that partial cast on his right arm.
Maybe that is.
Effecting his delivery.
Three to fit.
Fouled away on the right side.
He's leading this game twenty one to fourteen were in the bottom of the
fifth. Sounds like a.
Eagles game.
He's got a 12 run lead going into the bottom of the thing now down to seven.
Three to pitch again.
Kingman.
Popped the foul behind home plate.
And out of play.
Well I don't know.
We have a highlight game after so we're just two in.
One here a lot of.
Long fly balls and home run.
I think if we get a picture that gets anybody out and we're going to put them
on.
The draw said once again with a three to pitch.
One read is going in the filly.
So this has been a rough inning for sudden withdrawal.
There was an error made behind him.
But he was on first one down in the batter.
Steve on a very.
He's one for three with a home run.
While game on the field also a wild.
Bunch of fans here today they've got all kinds of.
All the patients down there.

One ball two strikes.
The first.
The second out of the inning on a strikeout.
And Jerry Martin coming to bat.
Martin is one for three with a double and a run score.
Jerry hitting.
Two seventy six.
And he'll probably try to lift one up into that wind.
The first two out.
Martin.
Five runs in this thing on only two hits.
A couple of walks in an air.
Three walks in an air and.
Like one on Jerry Martin.
McGraw's pitch.
I know.
I didn't account as one one.
Fills late.
Twenty one to 14.
McGraw trying to get out of this.
Fifth inning.
The pitch.
One ball two strikes.
On Martin.
When we got first base.
McGraw out of the stretch.
Outside.

White Sox and open and started there nothing nothing after two innings.
To and to the count.
McGraw gets the signs.
Here's the pitch.
Martin.
Going back.
Going.
Can't believe it.
Believe it.
Jerry Martin.
Twenty one.
Unbelievable.
Twenty one to sixteen.
Jerry Martin with his third home run of the year.
Seven runs in this thing.
Twenty one to sixteen and we're in the bottom of the fifth.
Here's Barry Fudd who started this thing with a single.
Ten batter in the inning.
Unbelievable.
McGraw first pitch is high for a ball.
Twenty one to sixteen baseball fans.
In the bottom of the fifth.
The Phillies now.
Leads.

He'll go in the second with a double.
Oh boy.

It's a twenty one to sixteen game.
Barry Foots on second.
Two out.
And the batter is Ted Sizemore.
He got on base on an error in this inning.
Reed's pitch swing and a missed strike one on Sizemore.
A pitcher's nightmare here today.
There's no doubt about it.
The one strike pitch swing and a missed strike two.
Sizemore is chafed.
Two bad high pitches.
He's trying to hit one to the fences.
The Cubs have scored seven runs in this inning and they trail now twenty one to sixteen.
Two strike pitch fouls back.
Well it's games already two and a half hours old.
And we're in the fifth inning.
Here's a ground ball towards the middle.
Good play by Ball back a second over to first.
And Sizemore is out.
And the Cubs are finally out.
They're in the bottom of the fifth inning.
But they got seven runs on three hits.
One error and one left on.
At the end of five full innings.
It's a Philly twenty one.
The Cubs sixteen and now it's time for a tasty break.
Well a new Cub pitcher is Bill Caudill right hander.
He was in the game yesterday and got hit around.
Steve Dillard will stay in the ball game and play second base.
Off of the Phillies batting orders up there in the sixth.
Basing Bride who already has three hits in the game.
They swings and misses at the first pitch.
The Phillies lead in this game believe it or not twenty one to sixteen.
The next pitch is over for a called strike two.
It'll be McBride, Bowe and Rose.
The first three batters here in the sixth inning.
Two strike pitch.
Bucky now on a good fast ball.
So McBride strikes out one down the batter Larry Bowe.
Bowe has four hits in the game.
Two doubles. Two singles.
He scored four runs and he's locked in a run.
Right hander Bill Caudill.
First pitch to Bowe.
Called strike.
Boy anything is happening here.
Bowe swings and misses strike two.
Caudill committed on five straight fastballs for strikes.
Two strike pitch to Bowe.
Bowled back.
Well we've had thirty six hits in the game. Thirty seven runs.
We're in the sixth inning.
Next pitch to Bowe is high and the count is one and two on Larry Bowe.
One down. Nobody on base.
One to fish.
Hot fly. Shadow left field.
Dropping quickly.
Base hit.
As Kingman can't get the ball and Bowe gets his fifth base hit in the game.
A Texas League single between Kingman and DeJesus.
Brother.
That's twenty hits for the Phillies. The Phillies are close to a team record on hits.
Which is twenty six.
Six hits away but the way they're dropping in there.
Here's Speed Rose coming up.
Rose officially two for four. Two doubles.
Two runs scored.
Three runs batted in or four runs batted in.
Bowe is on first one out. Rose takes the call.
Here's the one strike pitch. Strike two ball.
Bowe is on first one out.
Pitch on the way. Line drive left field. Kingman coming on.
Rose did a line drive that Kingman caught.
Two down. The batter Mike Schmidt.
Schmidt is officially one for two with a three run home run. He's walked three times.
Two intentionally.
Bowe is on first two out.
The pitch. Strike called.
Toddler is pumping up on a pretty good fastball.
Bowe is ready. Schmidt takes low and the count is one and one.
Twice.
Cup manager Herman Franks who decided to walk Schmidt intentionally.
Bowe takes a good lead off first. Here's the one one pitch.
Schmidt takes outside two and one.
Thought this would be a hit or a day but I don't think in our wildest imagination we dreamed
would be anything like this.
Here's the two one pitch. There goes Bowe. Swing and a miss.
Bowe gets his stolen base his sixth of the season.
And the count is two and two on Mike Schmidt.
And Bowe may have hurt his leg a little bit.
Trying to walk it off.
Fills with a twenty one to sixteen lead. Top of the sixth inning.
Bowe ready with a two to six to Mike Schmidt and now Schmidt steps out and time is called.
Here's the pitch.
Just missed three into the count to Schmidt.
At least trying to get some more here. It doesn't seem like you can get too many.
Three to pitch inside ball for Schmidt walks for the fourth time in the game.
So the Phillies have runners on first and second.
Two down the batters. Del answer.
Del is officially one for four.
He's knocked into runs.
He scored a run.
Two on two out. The pitch.
Low ball one.
Bowe leads off second. Schmidt off first. Two away.
Here's the pitch.
Right called inside corner.
Phillies have a plane out of here tonight. I think a little after seven is a good thing.
One one pitch outside. Two and one to count.
I think the third base coaches have a sore arm from waving runners around today.
Here's a call strikes on seven down at two and two.
Already to pitch.
A foul out of play on the left side.
Twenty one to sixteen. The Phillies lead were only in the top of the sixth inning.
I'm already with a two to pitch once more.
One hit.
Batting in the home six with a score to Phillies twenty one Chicago sixteen.
Ron Reid the pitcher for the Phillies.
Officially one for three with a single. He scored a couple of runs.
And he has a run batted in.
Infield hoping for a double play ball.
The batter is Mike Bale.
Bale's had a good game. First pitch to him.
He was going for the fences.
Bale is three for four.
Three singles and he scores two runs. The infield is back.
Twenty one sixteen ballgame. The Cubs are trying to get right back in it.
Here's a foul out of play.
Two strikes on Mike Bale.
He scored his third day. He's used to the second.
The pitch to Bale is low. One and two to count.
We understand that Gary Maddack has a slight muscle pull in his rib cage. Is that right?
And he's five. Let's him be too serious.
Here's the one to pitch. Bale takes it.
And the counter is two and two. The ball almost got by Bapu.
Two and two to count to Mike Bale.
Twenty one to sixteen. The Phillies lead and the Cubs have two on nobody out here in the sixth inning.
The pitch. Ground ball to the shortstop Boaz. He'll go to first. Bale is out. A run scores and now twenty one to seventeen.
As DeJay Deuce goes to third base on the ground out.
Gives Bale a run batted in.
And the Phillies lead it twenty one to seventeen as Dillard scores and the batter is Bill Butler.
He's three for four with a grand slam home run.
He's not getting another run on a single. He's scored a couple.
Twenty one to seventeen.
The pitch to Buckner is low and inside ball one.
Infield is back. DeJay Deuce on third one out.
Ron Reid out of a wind up.
The pitch is grounded foul pass first. One and one to count to Buckner.
We have had thirty nine hits in this game.
Thirty eight runs.
Reid taking some extra time ready now with a one one pitch low and inside.
Ball two and a strike to Buckner. DeJay Deuce leads on third one down. Kingman's due up next. Buckner takes high and outside. Ball three.
Ball is jumping today. Three one pitch. Pop foul and out of play. Full count to Buckner.
Well no pitcher has been spared.
Full count to Buckner. Here's the pitch. Ground ball hits slowly. Short, short. The run's going to Thorpe. Buckner the first is out by about a half a step.
Good play by Larry Cole. Back of the mound. But it's a twenty one to eighteen game.
As DeJay Deuce scores, give Buckner a run batted in. The Phillies now lead it twenty one to eighteen. Here's Dave Kingman.
With two outs and nobody on base.
Dave Kingman has hit two long home runs. He's knocked in five runs. The pitcher.
Out of the ballpark. Unbelievable. Way across the street. Oh brother. Now it's twenty one to nineteen. As Dave Kingman has just hit his third home run in a game. Oh boy.
Dave Kingman hit it across the street. It's twenty one to nineteen. Unbelievable.
Kingman now has twelve home runs in the season. Here's Steve Hanoveris. He takes a called strike. Hanoveris is one for four with a home run.
How many home runs is that against the Phillies in this game? Six.
And it's a record home runs hit by the opposition against the Phillies. Six in one game. Hanoveris swings and misses at a low pitch. Strike two on Hanoveris.
We're only in the sixth inning. The score is twenty one to nineteen Phillies. The pitch. Ground ball. Bare handed by Reed. Flips to first base. Hanoveris is out. And that will finally end the inning.
Three runs. Four hits. Nobody left on base. At the end of sixth full inning. The Phillies twenty one to cut nineteen.
On Sunday when the Phillies play the Montreal Expos all women entering the ballpark will receive a free Phillies coat bag. That's next Sunday. A red and white canvas bag. A Phillies on the side and practical items that all the women should enjoy.
So come to the vet on Sunday and the Phillies and Montreal Expos will be playing baseball and you can pick up a free canvas coat bag. Game time is one thirty five. Andy Muster's seventh inning and Andy I don't know what to tell you. Hang in there.
Time for a new scorecard. I'll tell you that. This has been a ball game for a mathematician. No doubt about it. Greg Rose leads off inning number seven for the Phillies. Here's the wind up in the pitch to Greg. It's outside a ball. Bill Caudill who was in yesterday's ball game pitching now for Chicago.
Rose has driven in a run on a sacrifice fly in his only played appearance. He takes outside ball to Rose Boone and the only the bat for the Phillies in the seventh inning.
Those are bad hits and every inning in this game except the second strike to gross two and one. Even in the second inning they had a base runner as Pete Rose threw a one out walk. The two one pitch to gross swinging and a miss to and to
Caudill is the fourth Chicago pitcher of the afternoon. The two starters in this ball game did not get through the first inning. The two to gross pop all third base side it's drifting out of play.
Richie mentioned that the six home runs by the opposition was a record but the curious thing is that coming into today's game no opponent had hit more than one in a game against the Phillies this year. Rose checks and takes outside.
We've got a full count. So the Cubs as the opponents today not only blew past that one but they blew on to a record. The three to pitch to gross. Here's a fly ball well hit into left center field. It is deep.
It is off the fence. Here's gross heading for second base as the ball bounds away. Kaman giving chase. Rose headed for third to throw wide. He's in a triple. It's not over yet.
Unbelievable hitting ball. That's 21 hits for the Phillies. The Cubs have 20 that's 41 hits. I'll tell you I don't know. We're only in the seventh inning. It's just starting here.
First triple of the year for Greg gross the X Cubs and the field's leadoff man in the seventh inning at third base with Bob Boone coming up and the Cubs have not found a way to retire Boone all day long. Booney has a three run homer.
RBI single he was hit by a pitch he was walked twice once intentionally. I've shot by gross which was hit the opposite way. It's a fence about halfway high on the fly. The pitch to Boone is inside the ball.
The Cubs have brought the infield in. They are trailing 21 19. Booney sends a shot into the alley and right better center field way deep. It is going to roll to the wall.
Scoring easily is gross. Boone goes into second with a stand up double. It is 22 to 19. Let's pause for station identification. The Phillies baseball network.
I promise to love on Earth today. I do. Thank you darling. You do it is very cool. Oh D2. Well if you do I do. Thank you. DQ DQ today.
Bob Boone has just gotten his fifth run back of this ball game and the Phillies trying to build their lead again. Now it's up to three runs.
Triple double home run. Everybody's getting them. They're dropping in when they don't hit them good. They're dropping in when they hit them good. The batter is Rudy Meole who takes a fastball in for a cold strike.
We're going to have a heck of a time summing up this one as far as records are concerned all kinds of things being challenged here today outside to be only a ball pretty officially is one for four. He has also drawn a walk.
On his second base a run in the Phillies have scored in every inning in this game with the exception of the second and the sixth one one pitch to be only on the outside corner right at the knees Rudy thought it was low and he probably thought it was outside to a ball and two strikes to be only nobody out a run in two extra base hits here in the seventh inning.
Two home runs and five overs by the Phillies.
That's four over. That's a good part in four by the Phillies.
Fastball missing outside but there have been ten home runs in this game.
Two balls and two strikes on left hand at batting Rudy Meole.
He's got a run on deck.
Well that's the first out of the inning and here's Ron Reed coming to the plate.
He's got a run in the game at Veterans Stadium this year with a hit run is one for four big call right handed batter.
Here's Carlos Fitzgerald strike call.
He's got a run on the way to read low ball have to go all the way back to the first inning this game to remember that the Phil starting pitcher Randy Lurch hit a home run his first of the year.
The stretch by Carl the one one to read breaking ball is low two and one and the home run is what Lurch will be talking about after this ballgame because he certainly won't want to talk about his pitching performance he didn't survive the first inning and he gave
him a run and five hits the two one to read way up high three and one.
Those on top twenty two to 19 kind of a game that can wreck your pitching staff to they've been running in and out of the bullpen all day both managers.
The three one pitch to read inside ball for Ron takes a walk three down the first with bonus second one out to walk the pitchers today have really hurt the cup they walked up for it earlier and in a beginning and he certainly didn't want to walk Ron Reed here.
Get to the top of the batting order coming up.
And here's Herman Franks emerging slowly from the Chicago dugout the bills that had 22 hits in this ballgame but Chicago pitching has shipped in with the 11 walks and as Herman walks out he is calling the home plate umpire Dick Cavanaugh over I guess
Herman's planning to make a double change.
He has Ray Burris out there warming up.
He'll probably make a pitching change here.
Of course, first to read and Danny Ozark have been back and forth that mound few times today.
I think Danny Ozark would love to see Ron Reed try to shut this game down but I tell you you don't have to hit a ball very good today to get it out of here and some good some bad.
And so the Phillies we do have a pitching change for Chicago with a score the Phillies twenty to the Cubs 19.
We'll be back after this. Here's a great chance to win a free one week vacation for two with the grand.
Right hander Ray Burris is the new Chicago pitcher the fifth of the afternoon.
First word for innings in yesterday's ballgame giving up four hits in a run he struck out three right hander Ray Burris now pitching for Chicago. He has not won or lost the game this year and his earned run average is seven point one one.
Ray Burris the starter for many years with the Cubs now doing his work in relief.
Phillies have already scored another run here in the seventh inning to lead at twenty two to 19. Can you imagine if you're just turning on your radio and hearing us play that casually twenty to 19.
That's the way it is here at Wrigley Field today.
Make McBride batting for the Phillies with two on and one out. Boone at second he doubled in a run. Boone has not been retired today. Reid at first base he drew a walk.
Cubs made a double change they have brought Bobby Mercer into play in right field so Burris will bat second and Mercer will bat out of the number eight spot where Bill Carville has been hitting.
Burris to work out of the stretch motion to make McBride.
What a take is that three hits in the game. Stretched by the right hander and here's the pitch to big. Pointing and a miss. Burris is 28 years of age from Ida Belle Oklahoma. He has an eight and four lifetime record pitching against Philadelphia.
Burris has his sign from foot and the one strike pitch to McBride swinging and a miss strike two.
Dennis Lamp got the start today Mike Kruko unable to pitch because of an injury so they started Lamp. He lasted only a third of an inning.
It was followed by Donnie Moore, Willie Hernandez, Bill Caudill and now Ray Burris.
Time call just as Burris goes into the stretch and a baseball is loose behind home plate.
In the American Lake the White Sox lead Oakland two to nothing there in the last of the fourth inning at Oakland. Ken Kravick pitching against Rick Langford.
In case you missed it the Montreal St. Louis game ended that suspended game today two to two at the end of ten innings. They're going to finish it June 25th.
The two strike pitch to McBride in the dirt of ball.
The Cardinals took a 2-1 lead into the ninth inning of that game but Tony Salida hit a homerun his first of the year to tie it and send it into extra innings and then it had to be suspended.
Burris ready the one to pitch to McBride in the dirt again two and two.
At Oakland they've gone to the last of the fifth inning and at Chicago two nothing over the A's.
American League final Cleveland beat Toronto eight to three. Mike Paxton winning his third. Mark Limongello losing his fifth.
Swing and a miss McBride strikes out.
Ray Burris strikes out fake McBride.
That's the second out of the inning.
Runners at first and second and here's Larry Boa.
Larry has five hits in this ball game. He's five out of six.
Two of his hits were doubles.
Larry has scored four runs today and has gotten a stolen base.
Switch hitter batting left handed Burris delivery to him as a bouncer towards second base Dillard grabs it throws over to first in time and the souls are retired in the seventh without further damage but they have picked up a run on two hits and they have left two men on base.
We go to the Chicago seventh inning and the Phillies lead at twenty two to nineteen.
Hey maybe you could go for a really great burger right now then go for a Gino's Giant. It's a giant of burgers.
Big double decker burger piled up just the way you like it with cheese, pickles, lettuce, onions and Gino's gourmet sauce. A Gino's Giant. How about it fans?

We're going to the last half of the seventh inning at Wrigley Field in Chicago. A very strange and interesting ball game unfolding and it's not one. The Phillies only lead this by three runs and if they prove any point at all is that enough is not enough here today.
They lead 22 to 19. Here's Jerry Martin to lead it off for Chicago facing Ron Reed. Jerry has two extra base hits including a home run.
Here's a pop foul off the handle of the bat but it'll go back on the screen behind the plate. Strike on the mark. Jerry doubled in his first at bat. He had a two run homer in the fifth inning and in the fourth inning almost got a home run as he sent
Gary Maddox to the wall and center fielder. I believe it was Greg Gross in the ball game at that time to the wall and center fielder to bring it in.
Gary Maddox suffered an injury in this game. A slight strain to a muscle on his side. Not thought to be very serious.
Next pitch on the way to Martin. Brown ball to ball short. Larry's got it. Throw to first in time and Martin is out.
Haven't been many times in this ball game when the leadoff hitter hasn't gotten on. Comes with that hits in every single inning. They have failed to score only twice in the second and third.
Here's Barry foot. He's two for four. Single and a double. And Barry got both of those hits in the same inning the fifth.
Any number five was the big one for Chicago. That's when the Cubs got seven runs.
Their second biggest inning was the opener. Six runs.
Pitch on the way to foot. Swing and a minute to strike. Billy's biggest inning was the third. They got eight. They had scored seven in their first at bat today. What a ball game.
Three lines. The one strike pitch to foot. Off speed and it's over for a strike called.
Kingman with three home runs in the ball game has hit the ball three different pitchers. One off Lurch, one off Bird and one off Reed.
Low and inside. One and two to count on Barry foot.
Bobby Mercer waiting on deck for his first at bat in this game.
Footgrounds the ball to Schmidt at third base. He grabs it. Tramble picks it up. Throws to first. Blake.
Mike who has already been charged with an error in this game will probably get another one.
Nice getting some in between hops down there and those balls are hit sharply ordinarily.
You see Mike sucked those up like a vacuum cleaner but it's one of those days.
You just hold your breath every time a hitter walks up there.
Britt is charged with his second error of the ball game in his fifth of the year.
Here's left handed batting Bobby Mercer. Bobby's first trip to the plate. He's hitting it two eighty three four home runs and 14 runs batted in.
Pitch on the way to Mercer on the outside corner a called strike.
Mercer started Monday's game and he had a couple of hits in that ball game and he seemed to be developing a pretty good opposite field stroke.
He had three hits on Monday and only the last one was pulled to right field. Here's a shot at the right and a base hit.
Bobby Mercer singles the right foot stops at second base.
That's twenty two hits for the Phillies. Twenty one for the Cubs.
They're getting Bruce Suter up on the bullpen. I know we'd see him before this series is over. Comes are going to a pinch hitter here.
Larry Bittner is coming out. Steve Dillard is due the second baseman.
But the Cubs who trail this game twenty two to nineteen are remarkably enough bringing the tying run to the plate.
They are. They were twelve runs back at one time in this game.
The left hand is batting Larry Bittner a two seventy two hitter is coming up making his first appearance in the series.
There is a tough hitter because he almost always gets a piece of the ball and puts it somewhere.
Larry Bittner will get a chance here with two on and one out.
Bittner and Iowa in his eighth year in the major league. He's thirty one years of age.
A solid line drive hitter who can hit the ball to any field.
Quoted second base Mercer at first. One man out the stretch by Reid the pitch to Bittner a quiver back to Boa.
Runs to the five one throw to first a double play. Bittner has rounded into a six three double play and the inning is over.
Chicago in the seventh. One hit one error one man left on base at the end of seven the Phillies lead at twenty two to nineteen.

Baseball here's Harry Callis. I think any of the time now fans for another daily news home run payoff listen to this for a limited time the daily news is doubling the cash pay off on a hit by every Phillies player every player.
Now you can win two thousand dollars for almost two hundred for a triple one hundred for a double and forty bucks for every single grand slam means five thousand dollars. And of course it was a slam by Pete Rose. You can win ten thousand bucks.
Ten thousand big ones use the entry coupon in the daily news while there is still time to cash in on the expanded double payoff.
The new cup second baseman Pete Rose leads off for the Bills. He's had in this game a mediocre day two for five with two doubles for one score.
Pitched to him by Burris over for a called strike. What he's doing tonight. He didn't be a clinic.
Here's a pitch to beat Rose inside for a ball it's one and one rose batting in our daily news home run payoff for Jerry Williams 16th Street in Philadelphia. Pitched to beat as low for a ball it's two and one.
Twenty two to 19 Phillies lead.
Here's a two one pitch to beat. Swing and a ground ball up the middle of a hit to center field. Pete Rose has just picked up the Phillies twenty third hit of the ball game. His third hit and Jerry Williams you win forty dollars on that base hit.
That'll bring on Mike Schmidt. He'll be batting for Anthony Massena of 8th Street in Philadelphia. Schmitty oddly is one for two in this game. A three run homer a pop up and four straight one.
That's the first hit given up by Burris.
Bill's lead by three twenty two to 19 eighth inning. Pitched to Schmidt. Fastball is over for a called strike.
One strike to Mike Schmidt.
Schmitty in a wild game here a few years ago he had four home runs. Here's the one strike pitch called strike on the inside corner. Schmitty not happy with it called he's in the hole nothing and two.
Rose at first base.
The stretch by Burris. The two strikes hit playing at a very high five all right field. Bobby Mercer fighting with son.
Rose will hold on a first base.
So Schmidt is out and Anthony Massena of Philadelphia will get four reserve seed tickets to a future Phillies game.
And that'll bring on Dell.
And answer will be batting for Genevieve McDermott 15th Street in Philadelphia. One hit and five official at bat.
He is scored a run and driven in a run.
Rose at first base one out of the eight.
Pitch to answer is over for a strike called.
The Phillies have had a seven run inning the first and eight run inning the third.
Cubs have had a seven run inning.
Here's the pitch to answer. High chopper to Bill Buckner he makes the play at first base. Rose moves up to second.
High bounding ball to Buckner and answer is out. Rose moving up to second base on the out. Genevieve McDermott of Philadelphia will get four reserve seed tickets to a future Phillies game and that'll bring on great growth.
He's won for one he has hit a sacrifice fly and tripled he's not going to run and scored a run.
Came in for Gary Maddox who had to leave when he pulled a muscle in his side.
He was sliding into second base what a day Maddox had he was four for five four for four.
That number six spot is five for five officially this afternoon here's the pitch to Rose it's low.
Number six spot Maddox who doubles a single and the homer throws a sacrifice line at triple.
There's a pitch to great growth he takes a strike called the knees.
Preggers batting for Agnes Hudson Jamison Drive in York Pennsylvania. Great batting for hometown friend Agnes Hudson. One one account to great growth. First stretchers. One one pitch to him is low for a ball.
It's two and one. 22 to 19 Phillies lead this game in the eighth inning. All kinds of records have been shattered here.
Here's the two one pitch swing and a bouncing ball to Bill Buckner he has it lobbed the Burris covering grosses out. Phillies are retired in the eighth inning. Agnes Hudson of York Pennsylvania will get four reserve seat tickets to a future Phillies game.

And on day two's lead off for the Cubs at the ground ball the deep short fine graph by Paul but the throw down in the time of a day. So day two's got his third hit. The Chicago Cubs that is hit number twenty two.
The Cubs are going to come out and bat for Ray Burrows. Got that left hand hitting three twenty five through the cup bullpen.
The Phillies lead by three runs 22 to 19. The already set a record for homers against the Phillies in a game by an opponent they have hit six homers including three by Dave Kingman.
The three came in and the fifth inning. Here's the pitch to Thompson a strike ball on the outside corner at the knee.
I think if Kingman came up in this thing Harry with a man on or two men on a bliver put him on intentionally today just just walking.
Here's a chance on the next hitter. Here's a stretch by Reid and the pitch. He missed it. Sam throw to first post five a day.
Coming into the pinch hitter Scott Thompson. Time has been called as a bullpen ball gets loose where Bruce Souter is warming up.
This game is evidently in the hands of Ron Reid. Nobody has been throwing in the field bullpen. Three came in on the fifth inning.
Here's a two strike pitch. Just missed. Didn't miss by much. A little bit outside. It's one and two to Scott Thompson the pinch hitter.
Bill Buckner waits on that. Here's a stretch by Reid the one to pitch playing in the ground foul down the first base side.
And it's a one ball two strike count. It's got Thompson Thompson batting three twenty five thirteen for forty with four extra base hits. They have all been doubled.
Last year he had a good year at Wichita where he hit three twenty six. Pitch to it. Playing in a foul back and out of play. All in two strikes to Thompson.
Here's a two strike pitch. Thompson pinch hitting for Ray Burritt. One to pitch to him. Just missed outside. It's two and two.
He's been in. It's been charged with three runs. Here's a two to pitch. Outside ball three a full count to the pinch hitter Scott Thompson.
Bill's leading by three twenty two to nineteen. Bottom half of the eighth inning. Here's a stretch. Three to pitch. Playing in a drive to deep right field McBride backhand.
Get it over his head and off the wall. Fake old Scott Thompson to his single with a fine play off the wall. Moving up to third base to see Bondi Haysu. Not a cut that runners at first and third. Nobody out of the eighth will pause for safe identification on the Phil's baseball network.
You're listening to Philly's radio. The spirit of New Jersey. Thirteen fifty WHW.
Here's Bill Buckner. Buckner is three for five including a grand slam home run he's up in five runs. Haysu's at third. Scott Thompson at first. Raleigh Eastwood starting to throw in the Philly's bullpen. Nobody out of the eighth inning. Buckner swings and Luke's one in the shallow center.
It'll fall for a hit. Coming in to score day. Haysu's Thompson is second and it's a twenty two to twenty game. And here comes Big Dave Kingman.
Well it comes right now. I have more hits than the Phillies. Twenty four to twenty three. I have never in my life seen anything like this. Danny O'Dark has got to the dugout. And of course the big Dave Kingman up there who's already hit three prestigious home runs in this game.
The last one he hit the third one went further than the first two. Kingman with three homers in the game has knocked in six runs.
The first and second game and watch the word with Joey Amal Pitano. I don't think they'll have any fun here. I don't see how the Kingman has fun at the board. But for a base hit. Danny O'Dark is at his state.
A lot of the ball to say to Rod Reade Thompson at second base. First base Bill Buckner. Nobody out Phillies lead at twenty two to twenty.
The eighth. In trouble here in the eighth from the bell to pitch to Kingman. What a nothing to Kingman.
Got Thompson at second Bill Buckner at first. What a ballgame this is. Certainly is not over yet.
Twenty two to twenty Phillies lead. Bill will have to look at Bruce Suter in the ninth.
He's got nothing. He thought it was there.
Here's the two old bit. What a cut. Kingman took a bad one. They're not tired here.
They took a real flight. The family.
They're going to be doing to the Kingman. The amount of errors. Wait on that.
The batter is. Here's the stretch in the two to pitch playing in a pop by the center field right. Right there waiting makes the catch.
The runners will hold the league. Got the big out.
Which here will that left again three. Great try to protect this lead here at the eighth inning.
Great. Here is the pitch to honor their staff all over at the knees for a cold strike.
Two to twenty. The leading bottom half of the eighth inning. Great strategy. One strike. Change ground.
They have the double play but the only juggle the ball they got the force at second base on Bill Buckner for outnumbered to moving up to third.
And here's Jerry Mark. I hate to give him another shot at a long ball that was a tailor made double play and the only made a good play on it but he had it and they would have a double play easily but he left the ball drop out of his glove.
He would never have gotten a chance to swing here. He threw out a five with a double and a home run. The pitch to him ground ball up the middle of the field.
The twenty two to twenty one ball game of Billy Lee down to one.
Martin Brown the single center field and unbelievable game of the Phillies laid down to run with one with runners at first and second and two out.
He's speechless. There's Barry. He's got two hits and five at bat. Two men on base two outs the pitch to him. A lot of play. One strike to foot.
We have two across here in the eighth trailer by one twenty two to twenty one. But is just mothering home plate. He's trying really trying to jerk the ball. There's a stretch by re one strike pitch fastball inside snap throw to first.
All in the strike to Barry. Great strategy. One one pitch playing at a high bounding ball.
I don't believe it.
Billy's one point this game. 21 to 9. It is now twenty two to twenty two.
Here's Bobby Mertzer. Mertzer has single and is only at bat.
Twenty two to twenty two.
He's going to Bobby Mertzer.
All of his right to murder.
He's leading at one point twenty one to nine.
This game now tied twenty two to twenty two. Unbelievable ballgame. Great strategy.
This low ball three and one to Bobby Mertzer.
Three san Goff is playing three one best wing that up the side the fastball crab to Bobby Mertzer並es.

Route 33 Hype Town turned to us
for fine food. We have a couple
of changes for the cups here in
the top of the ninth through
suitor coming into pitch. Scott
Thompson goes out to play
center field. The top of the
most they have the ball game
that had a number to. And Bruce
Suter the pitcher will bat on
the numbers six but vacated by
Jerry Martin. Martin is out of
this game.
What he's doing at 22.
Night spinning.
And a Philly face an old nemesis
and Bruce Suter.
Suter appearing in his ninth
game he's one one lost one

Lowly I am old boy.
Six oh he is struck out 17

I'm doing the first one to face
him.
Here's the pitch to boo in the
dirt for a ball one and nothing
booing is three for three with
a homer a single a double he's
walked twice and been hit by a
pitch ball.
It's the boo on the outside
corner for a called strike at

boo in the dirt ball to
Suter throwing a foot finger
fastball low.
Two and one to Bob Boone.
Booney wants to play them fired

Here's the two one pitch to boo
on a bill for a called strike
and it's two and two.
Here's the two one pitch to
balls and two strikes to Bob

deck circle.
Here's the pitch to John Reid

strike at the knees.
Mealy does not like to call
pop up foot finger fastball with
low one strike.
Here's the pitch to really
get a ball for a ball it's one
of one wind up by through the
one one pitch low for a ball of
two and one.
Thirty three two right off the
Earsh Neil U and out the 3 1
four Rudy the base runner on the
only at first base one out and
Tim McCarver coming out to bat
Ron Reid.
Suter in 1977 tied a Cubs club
record winning save thirty one
tying the mark previously held
by Ted Abernathy.
Great year that year seven and
three thirty one phase and a one
three five earn run mark last
year.
Jerry had tomorrow problems and
didn't have quite as good a
year.
Batting one eighty five.
Eastwick gets back up in the
Phillies bullpen.
I think this game is tied twenty
two to twenty two.
The only first base.
One out.
There goes the only swing and a
man's very foot throw is high
and Rudy's safe a second base.
What with a high throw today a
very good one out.
Rudy the only has a stolen base
one strike to Tim McCarver.
But he made the made the high
throw.
Nobody.
They came in baseball goes far
much higher than Barry put.
One strike to McCarver with one
out the only a second base
strike to ball again.
The pitch to ten playing in a
bouncing foul down the first
base side it's nothing in the
two.
Oh and two to Tim McCarver.
And hitting for Ron Reid.
Well this game now the hands of
Bruce Suter for the Cubs and it
will be in the hands of Raleigh
Eastwood for the film.
And.
In front of McCarver to strike.
Here's his stretch to strike
pitch.
Have.
Just a bit high for a ball of
one and two.
That home plate umpire was just
about ready to raise that right
arm.
And.
All in two strikes to Tim
McCarver.
Here is the stretch one to pitch
law within the dirt.
It's two and two.
Game approaching the four hour

Up to two pitch playing in a
bouncing ball to second base
fielded by Mike Keller.
He throws and McCarver is out.
That's.
Two down.
On the plane the only moves up
to third base and that'll bring
on Baker McBride.
Make his three for seven.
He is single popped up single
struck out struck out.
Hard to believe you'd get up to
back eight times in a nine
inning game.
I don't think I've ever seen
that.
Nine inning game.
You know a lot of things here
today we've never seen before.
Talking to Lou Boudreaux.
Broadcast radio for the Cubs.
He said he's never seen anything
remotely like this game.
And sort of a scratch in the
pitch to McBride.
He's playing the best.
The only a third base and two
out.
Other stretch by the pitch
playing in a pop out on a play
and shooter has McBride and a
hole no balls and two strikes.
I think I'm going to to make a
fine fine bit Lord.
high-fitting score tied 22-22
it'll have to be alert sooner when he gets ahead of here he will bounce that
foot finger fastball up there hoping that they chase it
here's the two-strikes it's playing in a ground ball cap the second it takes a
high hop but a great play by Keller-Herdt and McBride is out.
Philly's go down in the ninth. It took a brutal bounce on Keller-Herdt but a fine
reaction by McKeller-Herdt saved the run. By Clyde is out, so are the Phils and the
Knights. No runs, no hits, no errors, one left. We move to the bottom of the ninth, Philly's 22-22.
I'm Don Brookshire. You know everyone's talking about economy these days but at
your four dealers MPG headquarters we're trying to do something about it. For
instance, you'll discover three 79 Ford's, thicker priced under $4,400. The
FedO Pony wagon is based thicker priced at $37.86. The Fairmont wagon at $43.59.
The roomie four-cylinder Fairmont Tudor at $39.16, all based on manufacturer
suggested retail prices excluding title taxes and destination charges. And the
value-packed FedO Pony wagon is EPA estimated at 22 MPG. Compare this to the
estimate MPG of other cars. Your mileage may differ depending on speed, distance,

Well the Phils have a great-looking new baseball cap ready for all you youngsters

Bottom half of the ninth inning, the new pitcher for the Phillies coming in is
Raleigh Eastwick appearing in his seventh game. Raleigh pitched nine in the third
and he's given up nine hits, eight runs, four strikeouts, three walks. No wins, no losses, one save, an ERA of eight points.
Nick Keller coming up for the first time in this game, hitting at 167, he's 2 for 12.
It'll be Keller, DeJesus, and Scott Thompson. The pitch to Keller, bouncing ball, hits his shortstop.
Larry Ball has a throw, the low throw dug out by Rose, one down.
Rocky Rojas arguing that Rose was off the bat. Low throw by Ball, but dug out by Pete Rose, that's one away, and that'll bring out Ivan DeJesus.
DeJesus is 3 for 5. Single, fly it out, struck out, walked, doubled, and single. He scores four runs.
Eastwick on here in the ninth inning of a 22 to 22 tie.
An incredible game at Wrigley Field. Pitch to DeJesus is over for a called strike.
Wind up by Raleigh in the one strike pitch, playing at a pop foul down the first base side. Rose giving chase near the stand.
He's got his roof. Makes the catch and fouls around the day. DeJesus is out, that's two down.
That'll bring out Scott Thompson. Came in the pinch, got a base, didn't stay in the ballgame to play center field.
Two out to the Cubs tonight.
Raleigh Eastwick gets one more, we'll go extra inning here at Wrigley Field.
22 to 22 deadline. We haven't had enough action in these nine innings, might as well play a couple more.
Here's the pitch. Over for a called strike. One strike to Scott Thompson.
Wind up by Eastwick, the one strike pitch, playing at a ground ball, hit the shortstop. Oh, it charges and throws and we're going extra inning.
Scott Thompson grounds out. No runs hit the rear and there's none left.
We move to the tenth inning with a score, and I'm saying it right, Bill 22, Cubs 22.
Well, fans, it's that time of the year again when you got your chance to go on the Astrosurf and take pictures of your favorite Bills.

We move to the tenth inning and here's Rich Asper.
Okay, Harry, Larry Bowe will lead it off and Larry has five hits in the game. He's five for seven.
It'll be Bowe, Rosen, Schmidt, the first three batters against Bruce Souter.
Bowe is hitting right around the three-twenty mark now. He came into this game hitting 287, but he's five hits.
Has raised his average considerably.
Larry Bowe leading off the top of the tenth inning.
In a game that, well, I'll tell you, it's hard to describe.
You figure how you got to 22-22, but it's a matter of base hits and a short ballpark with short fences and a strong wind blowing out.
First pitch to Bowe.
Low and inside Bowe on Larry faked a bunch.
Bowe won the count to Larry Bowe.
We're on drafts and dirt here, of course, in Wrigley Field.
Bowe is the third baseman coming in closer.
Bowe takes high and outside ball, too, as he goes up.
As though he's going to run again. Two and 0 to count to Bowe.
Souter has a good fast ball, but he's outpitched his quickfinger fast ball, and Bowe takes a called strike.
Ball two and a strike on Larry Bowe.
Sub-splay Bowe to get to the opposite field.
Bowe ground ball to second. Mixed off by Metz-Keller.
Over to first and Bowe is out. Larry hit it sharply, but he's out of there.
One down here in the top of the tenth of batter's feet. Rose.
Rose has had three base hits.
He's been on base five times, three hits.
A walk. He got on base on an error.
He's knocked in four runs in the game.
He's officially three for six.
First pitch to him. Check swing and the pitch is high ball one.
22-22 here in the top of the tenth.
Next delivery. Check swing foul ball.
And the count is one and one on Rose.
Comes one down in order in the bottom of the ninth inning.
It's the first time that either side has done that in the whole game.
Ball one strike one to Rose. One out here in the top of the tenth. Nobody on base.
Shooter getting his sign into the wind up. Rose takes a call strike.
One to the counter row.
Wind still blowing straight out.
One to pitch. Rose top fly left side.
Dropping quickly. Kingman's coming over. Oh boy.
Good play by Dave Kingman as he crossed the ball right on the foul line and shallow left field.
Two down and LePard for station identification on the Phillies baseball network.
You're listening to the spirit of New Jersey 1350 WHWH Sports Radio.
Mike Schmidt the batter. Two outs nobody on here in the tenth. Mike is officially one for three with a free run homer and he's walked four times in the game.
He walked four straight times.
First pitch to Schmidt. Outside ball one.
Shooter will pitch to Mike Schmidt very carefully.
And right back with the next delivery. High ball to Schmidt.
Schmidt gets on Dell-Untrell with that.
It's kind of a game of just.
Destroyed both both ends today.
But the Cubs have blue shooter in here when they need him.
And a tie game an extra inning. Two old pitch.
Schmidt takes a called strike.
Two and one pitches inside. Three and one to count.
And he does the shortstop and out of there for almost standing side by side.
I could almost reach out and shake hands are so close.
On the left side of the infield.
First the whole cup defense all the way around the left side on Schmidt.
Three and one to count to Mike Schmidt.
And a win and a miss as Schmidt was fooled on that.
Flip finger fast ball and the count is three and two.
We're tied twenty-two. Twenty-two in the top of the tenth.
Three-two pitch. Schmidt long guy left field.
He's going to leave the ball park.
And the Phillies lead it twenty-three and twenty-two.
Oh boy. Mike Schmidt with a second home run of the ball game.
And that is his fourteenth of the year.
He leads the National League in that department.
A big home run by Mike Schmidt. He hit it over the fence.
Over the bleachers and left center field and the Phillies lead by one.
Twenty-three to twenty-two.
And here's Dale Uncher.
Dale Uncher the batter.
Uncher has a single.
And here's a small strike on Uncher.
Uncher single back in the first inning. He has had a base hit since.
But he has picked up a couple of RBI.
He swings and misses. Strike two on Uncher.
So Mike Schmidt has put the Phillies ahead twenty-three to twenty-two.
Only the second home run the Phillies have ever hit off through, Suter.
Richie Hebner hit the other one.
Uncher swings and misses. Foot drops the ball. Fires the first and Uncher strikes out.
But the Phillies have gone ahead on Mike Schmidt's home run. One run, one hit.
Nobody left on.
The cup's back in the bottom of the fence.
And the score the Phillies twenty-three to cup twenty-two and now.
Here's Rolls Royce for McDonough.
Nobody can do it like McDonough.
Nobody's looking for you like McDonough can.
Nobody can do it like McDonough can.
You know the reason why they do it.
Nobody can do it like McDonough can.
Woo!
Everybody's looking for you like McDonough can.
Nobody can do it like McDonough can.
You know the reason why they do it.
Nobody can do it like McDonough can.
Well the Cubs starting here in the bottom of the tenth with a score of the Phillies twenty-three to cup twenty-two.
And the Cubs have the harder their batting order.
Buckner, Kinman and Aniveras facing Raleigh Eastwick.
The twenty-three run scored by the Phillies.
A size and all time record in nineteen hundred and nineteen twenty-two.
Phillies scored twenty-three runs and won one of those games and lost one of them.
Bill Buckner and he's had quite a game.
He has four hits.
One of those, a grand slammer.
Buckner has knocked in seven runs in the game.
So it's up to Raleigh Eastwick.
Bill's ahead by one run, bottom of the tenth inning.
Twenty-three to twenty-two.
They can mark this day down, May seventeenth.
As an unusual ball game to say the least.
Here's a call strike on Buckner.
Unbelievable ball game. Strike one on Bill Buckner.
Buckner taking some extra time.
We have a shadow falling across the infield.
There are no lights here in Riggelfield.
The sun is starting to set.
Buckner pop up.
Might be playable.
Mike Schmidt going back.
He cannot get it into the cup.
Both then.
Schmitt was there but it was over a strike.
Two strikes on Buckner.
Lynn McLaughlin right hander heating up in the cup.
Bullpen.
He pitched the first game in this series and beat the Phillies.
Right, he picked a complete game.
Two strikes on Buckner.
Eastwick winds.
Here's the pitch.

Going over his under.
He makes the catch.
Buckner is out one down and here comes big Dave Kingman.

One down here's Kingman.
Real hitting exhibition like batting practice here today in this ball game.

Two strikes on Dave Kingman.
Kingman sets in the batter's box.
Eastwick winds.
Here's the pitch.

And the count will hold it two strikes.
A nice, warm, pleasant, sunny day here in Brighley Field.
Two strikes on Dave Kingman.
Eastwick's pitch.
Foul tipped.
Boom couldn't hang on.
The count will hold it two strikes.
It's hard to see up here right now around the home plate area with that shadow across the plate.
You can hardly see the ball off the bat.
Two young ladies, cantily clad, walking down below us in the back.
Are really reacting along with a couple of people here in the booth.
Who shall remain nameless.
Two strikes on Kingman.
Eastwick's pitch.
Kingman swings and misses.
He strikes out on some kind of an off-speed pitch.
That might be Eastwick's split-finger fast ball.
Whatever it was, he got a big out.
So the Cubs have two away.
Nobody on base.
And Steve Onover is the batter.
Eastwick has done quite a job.
He came in on the ninth inning.
Retired the Cubs in order.
He has the first two batters here in the tenth.
First pitch to Onover.
Check swing ground ball to Smith.
Might be the ball game.
Over to first on the batters out.
And the Phillies win the ball game.
Raleigh Eastwick coming in and relief doing quite a job.
And today's winning pitcher is Raleigh Eastwick.
Who won a case of Fancy Cake.
And won for the United Turbo Paldiola Association of Philadelphia.
The final score, the Phillies win 23-22.
We'll be back to wrap it up in a moment.

An unbelievable game at Wrigley Field has been completed with the Phillies winning it 23-22
on Mike Schmidt's 10th inning home run.
It was his second home run of the game, his fourth in the series.
Phillies had five homers in the game, two by Schmidt, one by Bob Boone, one by Randy Lurch,
and one by Gary Maddox, and for those home runs, Genos will contribute $500 to the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic.
So Genos now has contributed well over $3,000 to that worthy cause, and $500 today with a five home run.
Here are the final tolls, if you can believe it.
23 runs, 24 hits, two errors, and the Phillies left 15.
For Chicago, 22 runs, out hit the Phillies with 26, the total of 50 hits in the game.
Two errors, they left only seven.
Comes at six home runs, an all-time record for most homers given up by Phillies pitching a one game to an opponent.
Three of them by Dave Kingman.
Here's to Raleigh Eastwick, who pitched perfect baseball for two innings.
Almost unbelievable on a day like this.
Raleigh 1-0 in the loss to Bruce Suter.
He is 1-1.
The time in the game, four hours and three minutes.
The Phillies win this one 23-22.
If you want to hear highlights of it, the highlights show will take about a half hour.
Rich will try to condense it into 10 minutes.
The Tasty Cake Wrap-Up Show coming up here shortly.
Jim Budkis, our engineer for this afternoon's game, our executive producer, Steve Silverman.
Phillies baseball is a presentation of the Philadelphia Phillies.
For Rich Ashburn and Andy Muckler, Harry Callisane, thanks a lot for listening.
Final score once again in 10.
The Phillies over the cup, 23-22.
