00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:14,560
The Minnesota Twins faced the Kansas City Royals for a Friday night game at Royals Stadium on October 1st, 1976.

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:22,600
Minnesota was in third place in the AL West with an 82-77 record under manager Gene Mock in his first season with the Twins.

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,600
Kansas City was managed by Whitey Herzog and they were the 1976 AL West champs,

5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,600
having just clinched the division one night earlier with a shutout win by Larry Gurra over the A's.

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:01:01,600
This audio recording is from the Kansas City Radio broadcast featuring announcers Denny Matthews and Fred White.

7
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Steve, a left hand batter, he's a D8. Doug Byrd's ready and deal.

8
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Off speed that's the par ball in his flow. One ball, one strike.

9
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Well, will this be the night? Certainly all the ingredients present, including a tremendous shot,

10
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Ron Nickson bowled back at the plate and the count went in two.

11
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Byrd won it all against the Twins. He beat the Twins here at Royals Stadium back in May by the score of 6-3.

12
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,600
The 1-2-5 to Braun on the way.

13
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:55,600
Top ball popped up, back of short, pop that guy, top, pocket in, and it's top, pocket to make the catch for the win.

14
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Here's Steve Braun out of the par ball to left field.

15
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:12,600
And here's Roy Wally's with city church stuff. Roy's average, 257, 3-halvers, and 44 RBI.

16
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Wally says joining the Twins has just four hits against the Royals.

17
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,600
The Royals pitchers have handled him well, he's four out of 32.

18
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,600
On the left side of the base against Doug Berher to the pitchers, strike going on.

19
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:35,600
For Doug Berher, this marks his 27th start of the year. It is his third start against the Twins.

20
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,600
No balls and a strike.

21
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,600
He jumped under way.

22
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Back ball, one way, piled away.

23
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:50,600
This would weigh down the left of your line and deep into the lower deck, and the count slowly going two.

24
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:57,600
The most recent outing was a 3-1 loss. That was in Texas on Saturday night, he went 6-0.

25
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Back he counts and the pitch just a little bit inside and world.

26
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,600
One ball, two strikes. John Watson back to the plate.

27
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:12,600
It was John Watson who caught Larry Cora on Wednesday night in Oakland.

28
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:20,600
One of two to count. Back comes Bird with a fast ball and slowly has to jump back inside. Two balls, two strikes.

29
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Doug's last victory came over the A's in the Royal Stadium on the 21st of September.

30
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,600
The final score of that meeting, 3-1.

31
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:39,600
The two pitchers slowly going outside, ball three, three and two.

32
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,600
John of course, and we've said it about every time he's pitched, just doesn't walk anybody at all.

33
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
He's walked only 30 this year.

34
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Back he comes and a hot shot is passed contact on into left field.

35
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,600
Tom Fokette over quickly to come out and holds Smalley to a single.

36
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,600
The right Smalley singles to left, one on one out, and here's Rod Carew.

37
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Rod hitting 325. Nine homers, 89 RBI.

38
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:19,600
The other item of interest in this series, the batting race, Al McCrae the week leader at 333.

39
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:27,600
And then George Brad at 328. Rod Carew and Wyman Boscott, both of the twins and both hitting 325.

40
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,600
So here's Rod Carew, there goes the runner, the hit run is on, and it's bounce pound outside first, going wide.

41
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,600
Smalley who is running back to first.

42
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:48,600
Rod with 15 hits against the Royal, 15 out of 48.

43
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,600
No ball to strike, Mayberry holding to the runner.

44
00:04:52,600 --> 00:05:02,600
Dodge pitchers high, one ball, one strike.

45
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,600
The twins have played good ball against the West, they have 148, they've lost 39.

46
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:17,600
So it's in their own division, they've been tough, throw to first, the runner back.

47
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:25,600
The Royal shooting for win number 91 tonight, the runner goes, the 50 Carew bouncing ball face to left field.

48
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,600
Smalley around second, puts on the brakes, well kept throws behind him, and he gets back to second base safely.

49
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:40,600
So Rod Carew bounces one between Brad and Patek, and the twins are two aboard one out, and up comes Wyman Boscott.

50
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:49,600
Boscott more than any other Minnesota twin, tough on the Royal, 18 hits, nine RBIs.

51
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,600
He has been a terror against the Royal, and especially in Minnesota.

52
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,600
So it's slowly at second base, Rod Carew at first, both with bouncing ball opposite field hits.

53
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Boscott, Brad for the Patek, looks like a double play, right out, Mayberry, double play.

54
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,600
Well, Smalley and Carew got their balls through, but Wyman Boscott not so lucky.

55
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,600
Here's a bounce ball, turns into an ending double play.

56
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,600
Two hits, no runs, a man left, and that's a half an inning, twins nothing, Royal coming up.

57
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,600
Cleveland Blair manager Frank Robinson says he'd like to stay on with the Indians,

58
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,600
but as the Indians wind up their best season in years, Robinson remains without a contract.

59
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,600
Robinson will not play next year, and the Indians reportedly have offered him $80,000 just to manage.

60
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:00,600
That's a loss of about $100,000 from his reported salary as a Blair manager.

61
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:08,600
Robinson claims money is not the issue, but he declined to testify just what the key problem is.

62
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,600
Taking a look at tonight's Major League scorecard, of course we mentioned earlier that doubleheader

63
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:20,600
between the Yankees and Indians was rained out, scheduled in New York, a lot of rain here on the East Coast.

64
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Another rain out also, St. Louis at Pittsburgh, a snow bearing whatsoever on the divisional races.

65
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,600
It boils down to Kansas City winning it tonight to ramp up the West in the American League.

66
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,600
If they don't, then Oakland should win them.

67
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Well, it just gets tightened up a little bit more.

68
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:44,600
However, we should point out that Kansas City has least time for the Western Division crown of the American League.

69
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,600
If they should end up in the tie, then naturally there would be a playoff between the Royals

70
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,600
and the A's to decide who is going to win the West.

71
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Other games in the American League, Boston, Leeds, Baltimore, won nothingness after three innings of play.

72
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Chicago is scheduled to Texas, now going for the White Sox, his record is 3-1.

73
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Humburgers going for Texas, his record is 10-12.

74
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Minnesota is at Kansas City in our game here tonight.

75
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,600
And Detroit is at Milwaukee, Hiller, and Crappers.

76
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,600
We go to the bottom of the first, no score.

77
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,600
The man trying to prevent the Royals from nailing down their first Western Division title,

78
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600
his 27-year-old right-hander Dave Golt.

79
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Dave is 6-4, weighs 2'10".

80
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,600
He is 1-2 against the Royals this year. He has pitched better than that.

81
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,600
In his career, five wins and three losses against the Royals.

82
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,600
Golt beat the Royals in Minnesota back on May 22, 5-3.

83
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,600
It was a complete game and he allowed only three hits and a run in the first.

84
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Eight innings, and then allowed two runs in the ninth, but he was very much in command.

85
00:08:52,600 --> 00:09:00,600
And then the Royals announced in March, beat Golt for 1-0 in ten-innings, 10-12 on June 29.

86
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,600
David's ten-innings allowed just one run and three hits.

87
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:10,600
And then the Royals in 50, beating Golt here 4-2 on August 4,

88
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,600
as the Royals got three runs in the first.

89
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,600
So as you can see, Golt 1-2 against the Royals, but he's been much tougher than his record would indicate.

90
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Tom Buchanan leads off and takes the breaking ball low, ball one.

91
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Tom hitting 3-0-1 to almost 33 RBIs.

92
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,600
He's hitting 2-94 against the Glens.

93
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,600
Now ball 8-6, down to him.

94
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Tom Buchanan almost a single under seven, and the Royals walk in running.

95
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Here's Amos Otis, in the city, 2-8.

96
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:58,600
He's been by the eyes, and a two-yard run.

97
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Otis, the league leader in doubles, reporting.

98
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,600
The Royals will play Amos Otis to pull quite late.

99
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,600
Tom Buchanan first, nobody else.

100
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,600
You can hear the crowd. They are really much up for this ballgame.

101
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Golt stepping off the rubber, Otis steps out.

102
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:38,600
2-2, the first baseman holding Tom's pocket ball. And Tom very safely draws the throw and he's straight back.

103
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:46,600
The Royals try to win the first major league baseball title in 21 years of big league play here in Kansas City.

104
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,600
The amazing thing is, it was found in only the eighth year of existence for the Royals.

105
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Otis bumping a bus, takes low and inside, ball one.

106
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Beautiful night for me, all the temperature in the 80s.

107
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,600
You wouldn't expect an 80-degree night on October the 1st.

108
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,600
No wind at all, the flags are about to fall and left are left.

109
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,600
That is the only left object in this ballpark. Everybody is up for this one.

110
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,600
Golt again steps off, Otis again steps out.

111
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,600
And Tom Buchanan resting on first, 1-0 to count on Amos Otis.

112
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,600
The twins, two hits in the first, but a double play enters.

113
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,600
And now Buchanan will lead off Segal.

114
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Pitch out, nothing happening, ball two, 2-0.

115
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Otis with 40 doubles has established the Royals record.

116
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Atrey and Mayden, he last year had 38 doubles.

117
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,600
Amos broken back looper out for the second base, but he makes the catch.

118
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:09,600
So Amos, jabs with a pitch, and breaking is fast, it's a lip hop up to Randall.

119
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:16,600
A one out, and George Ruff coming up. Newtons in 328 with 209 lifts.

120
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:28,600
Yes, it's going to be five on the eyes and a half a dozen home runs.

121
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:38,600
The fans are still coming in. This place will be packed.

122
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Tom Buchanan first, one away, to fix the breath, making ball to blow, ball one.

123
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,600
Dave Golt, not an over following pitcher, not at all.

124
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,600
He'll move the ball in and out to fix the George breath, hit hard,

125
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,600
off the ground with a swing shot, falling in a nice save.

126
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:09,600
And a two-on with one out. It'll be a big hit for George Ruff, a hot play.

127
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Royce Wally, the shortstop going to his right, got his glove on the ball and a knock it down, the down ball.

128
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:29,600
And Buchanan second, but it's first for Al McCray, the lead leading hitter.

129
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:37,600
The left-handed Al's average is 333. He almost 72 on the eyes.

130
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,600
He is hitting 396 against the glint. He takes a strike from Goltz on one.

131
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:50,600
So a hit to leave it up and to a piece.

132
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,600
The Royals, the same opportunity, presented the trend in the top half of the first.

133
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,600
That is, that is the first and second one out.

134
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,600
In that situation, Bobstock rounded it into a double play.

135
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:10,600
Now we'll see about Al McCray.

136
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:19,600
Goltz taking it to Petrie rubber, trying to, first of all, dislodge some mud from between his spikes.

137
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:27,600
At first he was kicking at the dirt in front of the rubber to get it to his liking.

138
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Now Dave's taking a moment to rub a wrinkle in a new ball.

139
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,600
So he's in no hurry. No balls and a strike, right as his first and second.

140
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Wally, Royals batting in the bottom of the first. No score. Here's the bet.

141
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,600
McCray tried to get the bat back, but foul-fifth in the count on two.

142
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Goltz will be left to get on McCray's hands.

143
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:04,600
No balls, two strikes on Al McCray.

144
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Back trying to become the first Royals player to win the batting title.

145
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,600
Bouncing ball to third might be a double play.

146
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:19,600
McCray, the second base down, the first base out at first and oh my goodness, his left, hit Bob Randall out at second base.

147
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,600
And Randall lifting off. He almost cut him in half with a lowly body block.

148
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,600
So are the Royals serious about winning tonight?

149
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,600
As Bob Randall is he left back to the Minnesota dugout.

150
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,600
So the bottom half of the inning in as the top half ends with a double play.

151
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Two hits, no runs, a man left. And after one, no score.

152
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:50,600
A Washington newspaper, the Star, quotes an attorney who handles the pro basketball contract for being angry over the way a couple of teams announced the terms.

153
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:59,600
The attorney, Donald Dell, represented John Lucas, who signed with the Houston Rockets, and Adrian Dantley, who went with the Buffalo Braves.

154
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:07,600
According to Dell, Lucas actually got a seven-year contract from Houston calling for a total of one and one-half million dollars.

155
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,600
Houston announced it as a multi-year contract for $850,000.

156
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:22,600
And Dell says Buffalo announced that they'd pay us $500,000 for five years, when actually it would be $1,100,000 for seven seasons.

157
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:32,600
Well, not too bad there. It appears though the players came out on top. After all, our pay raise was only 4.83%. We had nothing to say about it.

158
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Texas Rangers' out-ball, Prince Peterson, is recovering from surgery on the west at Englewood, California, hospital two days ago to repair a torn muscle in his left shoulder.

159
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:52,600
The 34-year-old Peterson, a 20-game winner, was the Yankees in 1970, passing pitch for the Rangers on June 19.

160
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:59,600
We go to the second inning, no score. Bush, Weininger, Larry Heissel, and Dan Ford will be coming up against the Bears.

161
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,600
Weininger, the trick-treating looking catcher, carries an average of just 60 into the ballgame.

162
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,600
Bush has 10 homers, 69 RBIs.

163
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Dugger out two singles in the first. Bostock rounded into the double play. And Weininger takes a strike on one.

164
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:33,600
In the ballgame tomorrow afternoon, and remember it's an afternoon game, the 0-1 pitch to Weininger, breaking ball inside, one and one.

165
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,600
Game time is 1.30. Dennis Weiner pitches against Jim Hughes.

166
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:45,600
And then on Sunday afternoon, Paul Splittorf or Al Fitzmara will go against Bill Singer.

167
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:55,600
Weininger's started to go, held up in time, ball two, two and one.

168
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,600
The Royals have done very well against the twins, especially here at the Royals Stadium.

169
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,600
The Royals have lost only once to the twins here. They have five victories.

170
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,600
A little bit low, ball three, three and one.

171
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,600
The Royals are ten and five against the twins overall.

172
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Three balls and one strike on the catcher, Bush Weininger.

173
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:33,600
Back comes Doug Byrd, ground ball, right to his left, good pickup, over the footer, ten-five.

174
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:40,600
Frank Weis going to his left to take a base hit away from Bush Weininger.

175
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,600
Frank's going to tremendous range.

176
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
That time to his left, so long away.

177
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,600
And the batter, Larry Heisel, right hand hitting left fielder.

178
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Larry hitting 269 with 14 home runs, 93 RBI.

179
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:10,600
Doug Byrd's pitch to Heisel, wider wave than a miss going on.

180
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,600
The Royals played very well defensively Wednesday night in Oakland.

181
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:22,600
A change or a far ball, lost it all, lost it in hot pursuit, but George just simply runs out of room

182
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:31,600
as the ball bounces in the box seat and it takes one big hop under the screen.

183
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,600
So a whole group of fans down here in Iowa let the ball bounce in the aisle and then it got away.

184
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,600
It got on the screen and no chance then.

185
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:47,600
No balls and two strikes on Heisel.

186
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Larry against the Royals this year, it doesn't hit.

187
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,600
That includes a home run and he has nine RBI's.

188
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,600
Breaking ball, one on this, down he goes.

189
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:05,600
The dark rope went off and Heisel did not have a good swing and Larry just turns and walks back to the dugout.

190
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:11,600
A two away is Dan Ford, Ford's average is 268.

191
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:28,600
Dan has 20 home runs, 86 RBI.

192
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Right hander against right hander, the line up by Doug and the pitch, fast ball in on his hands and he fouls it away.

193
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:43,600
The Royals should treat Daddy Ford very kindly.

194
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,600
Dan Ford has been a one man wrecking crew against the Oakland A's this year.

195
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,600
And in several games Dan Ford has almost single handedly beaten the A's.

196
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,600
He has just worn out the Oakland pitching staff.

197
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,600
So the Royals should be very grateful for the 0-1 pitch.

198
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:13,600
High five, well hit, deep right center, Otis going back, way back to the wall, he's got it.

199
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:19,600
Dan Ford, the man who has bedeviled the A's, he has seven home runs against the Oakland staff.

200
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Almost gets it out of Royals stadium, but Otis ran it down in deep right center.

201
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,600
In the inning, no hits, no runs and nobody left.

202
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,600
We go to the bottom of the second, Royals nothing, Queens nothing.

203
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:40,600
While the Kansas City Royals can clinch the American League West Championship tonight in their home game against the Minnesota Twins,

204
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,600
a victory by the Royals or a loss by Oakland to California was to the trick.

205
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,600
Now we got a call from Freddie White with the Kansas City Royals baseball network and he informed us that

206
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,600
tomorrow's game has been moved up to 2-15.

207
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Of course this is to accommodate television.

208
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,600
That is only if the pen rate is necessary.

209
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,600
However, should Oakland clinch tonight, I don't imagine that that game would be moved up at all,

210
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,600
seeing as how it would be meaningless.

211
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,600
However, during our college football doubleheader tomorrow, we will be passing these scores along to you.

212
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:23,600
Of course a reminder that that big doubleheader tomorrow, UCLA at Ohio State,

213
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,600
starts at 1-25 Eastern Daylight Time and then Alabama at Georgia.

214
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,600
Quite a big game there in the Southeastern Conference.

215
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:40,600
That game is started at 4-35 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time to be carried over most of these AFRGF stations.

216
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,600
No score, Royals send a bad in the bottom of the second inning.

217
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,600
The Clans, no runs, two singles.

218
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,600
The Royals, no runs, two singles.

219
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:58,600
John Mayberry, Al Collins and John Waffin in that order.

220
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:05,600
Mayberry with 95 RBI that places him sixth in the American League.

221
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,600
John has 13 home runs, his average is 2-35.

222
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Dave Gold, rocks and deals, fighter on the outside, Carter on one.

223
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,600
John in years past has been doing well against the twins.

224
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,600
He's hitting 250 this year, a little tap up along the first baseline,

225
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:50,600
picked up by Rob Carew right at the back for the outs and there's one guy.

226
00:23:50,600 --> 00:24:03,600
Here's Al Collins, Al hitting 265 with 59 RBI and three home runs.

227
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,600
Al has been sticking the ball for the last two and a half weeks.

228
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Al has changed his batting style and then he takes a strike on one.

229
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,600
You might remember how Collins used to hold the bat back and parallel to the ground,

230
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,600
not anymore.

231
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,600
He's holding the bat straight up, his hands in front of the letters,

232
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:34,600
he takes outside a breaking ball to the count one and one.

233
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,600
Gold, we open in, half play, one hopper to the mound.

234
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,600
Gold, the Corinnos and Collins is retired two outs.

235
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,600
That'll bring up John Waffin.

236
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:52,600
John's average is 289, five RBI's, he has 11 hits.

237
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,600
John of course has been used sparingly as Buck Martinez and Bob Simpson

238
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,600
have angled the ball to the catching.

239
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,600
John handled very good up.

240
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,600
Down in Oakland on Wednesday night and he's in there tonight.

241
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,600
Breaking ball is hitting the right field, Dan Ford's coming in,

242
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,600
he's there to make the catch and the Royals go quickly and quietly

243
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,600
in the bottom of the second.

244
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:29,600
And after two, Royals nothing, Minnesota nothing.

245
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600
Superstar Dick Allen is expected to be back in uniform tonight

246
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,600
with the National League East leading Philadelphia Phillies host,

247
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,600
the New York Mets and of course as we mentioned earlier in Pittsburgh,

248
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Danny Murtaugh has announced his retirement hence for the fourth time

249
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:50,600
and Danny is stepping down along with Joe Brown who retired a couple of days ago.

250
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,600
Let's check out the National League scorecard for you right now

251
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,600
and in that New York Philadelphia game,

252
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Philly is leading 1-0 after three innings of play,

253
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,600
Jerry Koostman going for the New York Mets and Tom Underwood for the Philadelphia Philly.

254
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,600
Earlier in the day, Chicago defeated Montreal 3-1,

255
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Bill Fom the winner, his record now 9-13,

256
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,600
and Sandhouse was the loser, his record drops to 8-13.

257
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600
St. Louis and Pittsburgh was rained out,

258
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Atlanta had Simpson Matty, the big red machine,

259
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,600
leads the Braves 2-1 after two and one half innings of play.

260
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Later starts San Francisco at Houston and San Diego at Los Angeles.

261
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,600
Danny Drennis jam-packed Royal City at those scores,

262
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,600
the total is identical, Trent Snowrun the two-hit,

263
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,600
Royals Snowrun the two-hit, Mike Cubbage, Bob Randall,

264
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,600
and Steve Braun coming up.

265
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,600
So here we go to the third inning, Doug Byrd set to go for more play, here's Fred.

266
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,600
Okay, thank you Danny.

267
00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Mike Cubbage, the left-handed batter, steps in, nothing, nothing.

268
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,600
Great air of expectancy at Royal City in the night, a great cloud on air,

269
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,600
the first pitch from Byrd to Cubbage misses away, ball one.

270
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Cubbage hitting.258 with three home runs, 46 RBI's,

271
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:21,600
like Royce Bolle came over the two-to-twins in the trade with the Texas Rangers for Burt Weilofen earlier this year.

272
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,600
Byrd to Cubbage, Brown ball, that's Frank White, charging at Hazard,

273
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Burt to Byrd and it's one away, one out, nobody on, and let's pause ten seconds for a safe notification,

274
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,600
this is the Royal Baseball Network.

275
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:46,600
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

276
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:52,600
Bob Randall steps in, a right-handed batter, the 12-second base from the number nine hitter in the batting order,

277
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:59,600
Randall hitting.269 with a homer, 34 RBI's, 11 hits against the Royals this year.

278
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,600
Splits out wide, chokes the bat, the first pitch from Byrd, ball inside, ball one.

279
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,600
Danny describes it for you, boy Randall really got hit by George Brett at second base.

280
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,600
George going in, throwing a block, trying to break up a double play and he blew Randall out of there,

281
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,600
they both came away lifting but they're both out there still.

282
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:25,600
A double pitch from Duck Byrd, Brown ball, high chopper, George has it, straightens up and fires their two out.

283
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Randall out, second to first, Duck Byrd has now retired six in a row,

284
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,600
and with two out, nobody on, it's the late off hitter Steve Braun who flied to left his first time up.

285
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:57,600
A right, the left to Braun, foul tipped, not bad a free space just for letting it start.

286
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Byrd one to Braun, his average two, 90, free homerun, 60 runs by the end, left hand is better. Byrd delivers.

287
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Breaking pitch for a strike and he's got him in the hole, two strikes to count.

288
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:17,600
Loyal outfield straight away, Frank White deep at second, maybe very deep at first.

289
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,600
And Byrd ahead in the count, reading signs from Lovett and as said here comes the bit.

290
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Strike three and the inning's over, he got him swinging. The second strike out for Duck Byrd in another one, two, three inning,

291
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,600
he's now retired seven men in a row, no runs, no hits, no errors, none left.

292
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,600
We go to the bottom of the third, the Royals coming between nothing.

293
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,600
All the baseball schedule was light yesterday but there was news from the front offices.

294
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:50,600
The Atlanta Braves announced that they've rehired manager Dave Brussel for two more years.

295
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,600
That comes despite the Braves' last place record of 69 wins and 90 losses,

296
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:01,600
which puts them 31 games behind the National League West champs, the Cincinnati Reds.

297
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Braves president Chad Turner says he's optimistic Brussel will do better next year.

298
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Brussel was named Braves manager last October.

299
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:17,600
Cleveland Indian player manager Frank Robinson has reportedly gotten an offer to return next year.

300
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:23,600
The Cleveland Plains dealer says Robinson has been offered $80,000 to come back as manager only.

301
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,600
That's a big gut from the $200,000 Robinson reportedly makes this year.

302
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:35,600
The Major League's first black manager reportedly will talk to deal over with his agents sometime today,

303
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:43,600
which is Friday, and no decision yet, old Frank, as to whether he is going to accept that offer or not to return

304
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,600
as manager only of the Cleveland Indians for $80,000 a year.

305
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:54,600
The bottom of the third, it'll be Flip Patek and F. Frank White.

306
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,600
The 89 hitters send back to the leadoff man Tom Pochette for the Royals.

307
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Patek up for the first time in the ballgame, hitting 243 with a haul run and 43 on the eyes.

308
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,600
He's driven in seven against the twins.

309
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Well, he hasn't hit them that well. His average is only 194 against Minnesota 15, but he's had hits that have counted.

310
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,600
Patek, a right-handed batter.

311
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Royals shortstop.

312
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,600
Both are split on top. When the Royals took the field tonight, they came out through a human tunnel of Royals.

313
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,600
Lancers that included Flip, Fidra, Mids, and Ewing.

314
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,600
Copp and the Oil Runners.

315
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,600
The Royals were fed up when they hit the field tonight. They want to end it here.

316
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,600
This is from Goltz inside ball one.

317
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Goltz throws a running fastball, a knuckle curve, a little slider.

318
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:52,600
Has a funny weaving motion when he delivers. The pitch to Patek is a strike and it's even a one-on-one.

319
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,600
Goltz wobbles his head and his body side to side.

320
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,600
Kind of a distracting motion.

321
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,600
Now the crowd's starting to clab in here in the Royals stadium. A great crowd on hand.

322
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,600
They want to see the Royals get going off everywhere the fifth.

323
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,600
One and Miss by Patek. He's in the hole one and two.

324
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:19,600
Goltz and Flip, because Ole Miss and the Red Sox and the fourth with nobody on his 17th, fall in on Washington's side 2-2.

325
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,600
Don't forget tomorrow, game time 1-20.

326
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,600
Patek fouls fifth to Fifth and it's one and two.

327
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,600
The Whitey Herzog show at one o'clock tomorrow here on the Royal Network.

328
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,600
And tonight we'd like to welcome once again the Armed Forces Network.

329
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,600
They joined up with the Royals Network tonight.

330
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Some 300 stations strong listening in around the world as the Royals try to nail down the crown and the American League works here tonight.

331
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,600
A win for the Royals would do it, falling back.

332
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,600
The Royals should lose if the A's would lose tonight. It would be over.

333
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:56,600
The fifth fouls fifth again by Patek and it can't remain one and two.

334
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:05,600
But the Royals don't want to do it. By letting the Angel's BTAs on the West Coast tonight, that's a net against Blue.

335
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:13,600
What they want is to win it right here and to take it to the clubhouse knowing that it's over.

336
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Patek giving Goltz the battle as we open the bottom of the third.

337
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,600
One and two front up their fouling pitches off.

338
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:31,600
Patek field straight away the pitch. Way outside breaking pitch and it's two and two.

339
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Blank wide in the odd deck circle.

340
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Circle setting Goltz for a center field.

341
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Bostock very shallow the pitch.

342
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,600
Low and inside and a full count three and two.

343
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,600
Patek of course a good man to have aboard to start a inning with that great base running ability.

344
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:54,600
They have stolen 51 bases just one shy of Amidota's team record.

345
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,600
Three and two to Patek and Goltz rubbing the baseball.

346
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,600
Now looks in at Weininger for a side.

347
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,600
Here comes the pitch to Patek.

348
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Little tap towards the mound and Goltz has it.

349
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,600
Underhands to Burtz. There's one away.

350
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,600
Patek trying to check your swing and rolls up.

351
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,600
Burtz baseman.

352
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,600
One out, nobody on to Frank White.

353
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Here's a royal podium.

354
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,600
White steps in. Frank getting 231 with a couple of overs.

355
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,600
Goltz running and delivers.

356
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Adds a strike.

357
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,600
White hitting the plant well. He's hitting 289 against Minnesota.

358
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,600
White added batter halfway up in the batter's box.

359
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,600
The pitch.

360
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,600
Ground ball jumper towards the shortstop.

361
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,600
Ball he has it.

362
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,600
Overhand to Burtz. There's two men out.

363
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,600
White down short to Burtz.

364
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,600
And Goltz has now retired six and a real.

365
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,600
Boy these teams following identical patterns.

366
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,600
They seem clit in the first with two singles.

367
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,600
They seem out on a double play.

368
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,600
They seem down one, two, three in the second.

369
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,600
Nobody has raced yet in the third.

370
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,600
Boquette has singled the stock to ball again for the royal.

371
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,600
Tom at 304.

372
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,600
But that is batter.

373
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,600
Good off to field hitter and they're playing him straight away.

374
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,600
The pitch.

375
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,600
A front.

376
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,600
Back to the mound but Goltz off intercept.

377
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Underhand to Burtz and the inning's over.

378
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,600
Boquette tried to drag it past the mound and couldn't get it there.

379
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,600
The way down one, three and that does it.

380
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,600
No runs, no hits, no errors. Time left.

381
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,600
We'll go to the forest for the royal. Nothing in the plants. Nothing.

382
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,600
All the controversy is still raging over the decision by the referee and two judges that gave

383
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,600
Mohamed Ali a narrow victory over Ken Narkin in their final fight Tuesday night in New York.

384
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:58,600
Sports writers were showing film clips of the pivotal 15th round which all three officials gave to Ali.

385
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,600
The film shows that Mohamed threw three times as many punches as his opponent in the final round.

386
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,600
However, most of these did not land.

387
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,600
So Ken Narkin's assessment of the referee and the judge's decision apparently,

388
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:20,600
the decision rather apparently is true that Mohamed threw a lot of punches but all of them only caught air.

389
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:26,600
Well, after a night of thunder and lightning, the second round of the $135,000 Tejara Invitational

390
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:32,600
got underway in the rain today but the inclement weather wasn't expected to cause any delay in play.

391
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:39,600
It's not that heavy, said PGA spokesman Tom Place. We'll keep playing unless it becomes unplayable,

392
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,600
but the scores might be a little higher today.

393
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:48,600
The golfers teed off at 11 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Should have more on that later on.

394
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,600
We go to the fourth inning scoreless. The hits even a two apiece.

395
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:59,600
For Minnesota it'll be Smalley, Caroo, and Bostock, the number two, three, and four hitters.

396
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:06,600
Smalley, a quick hitter, singled his first time up, batting left-handed against Doug Byrd, his average 259.

397
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,600
The outfield playing him to hit the opposite way has an extreme opposite field hitter.

398
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,600
In fact, he's just one foul back up.

399
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Final play, one strike. We've been informed that they are selling standing room only tickets here at Coyote Stadium now.

400
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:28,600
And out on the hill behind left field, a great army of fans lined up watching this game, sitting way up by the interstate highway.

401
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:35,600
One strike pitch to Smalley. Breaking stuff missed, one-on-one.

402
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,600
Notice the center fielder way over in left.

403
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,600
So Ketbury shallow near the line in left.

404
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,600
Cowan's the right fielder well off the line against the left-handed batter.

405
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,600
Here's the one-one pitch from Byrd.

406
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Chopped towards Mayberry up the first base line.

407
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,600
John Haffett, he's going to take the play himself as well away.

408
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Slightly out to the first base but unassisted.

409
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,600
And here comes Locke Karoo, who's single-hit first time up.

410
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:09,600
That lifted his average to 327.

411
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:16,600
Karoo, a left-handed batter with nine on bronze, 89 on the eyes,

412
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,600
now has 16 hits against the Royals this year and 49 times at the plate.

413
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,600
And if Roy Karoo too is an off the field hitter, but has shortened up his turn.

414
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,600
He's about a fifth piece but pretty well off the line.

415
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,600
The pitch, Chopper up the first base line.

416
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:37,600
Mayberry has it in through territory and steps it on the bag there too away.

417
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,600
Karoo after Byrd's first pitch wraps out and bumps up.

418
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
And two out, nobody on.

419
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,600
Deliman Vostok, who's rattled into a double play his first time up.

420
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:55,600
Locke Karoo, a left-handed batter and an off the field hitter.

421
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:00,600
Vostok at 344 now.

422
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,600
Byrd's fifth, here's the pitch.

423
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,600
Takes the ball up high to get a pretty wild whiff of Rice's Chees Soup.

424
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,600
Just then two flattened Rice's Chees Soup wrappers.

425
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:19,600
In order for handling to blift, Fox 610 leaves some of Missouri.

426
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:27,600
The pitch to Vostok, ground ball on his foot, hits a foul ball.

427
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,600
And a count now, one ball, one strike.

428
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Vostok, limping around on plate, hammered himself on the foot with that one.

429
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:40,600
A double header in New York rained out tonight, Cleveland and the Yankees.

430
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,600
Baltimore leading for right-of-side with Boston, 2-2 after 4, 5th homer tied it.

431
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Chicago and Texas, nothing, nothing after 1.

432
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,600
Detroit and Milwaukee, nothing, nothing after 2.

433
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,600
California at Oakland later, Tenana against Blue.

434
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,600
Here we have two out, the top of the fourth, no score.

435
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,600
Vostok, wings and top foul, back behind the plate.

436
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,600
Lawson to the barrier, no play, and the count remains 1-2.

437
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,600
St. Louis to Pittsburgh rained out.

438
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,600
Chicago beat Montreal 3-1.

439
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,600
Bottom of the winner is winner, Chana Al-Salouz, who on Monday got his 32nd homer for the Cubs.

440
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,600
Red leads the Braves 2-1 after 3.

441
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,600
The Mets and the Phillies 1-1, the bottom of the fourth.

442
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,600
Zafran, Tsutsuko and Houston score us after 1.

443
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,600
And San Diego and Los Angeles later.

444
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:37,600
First ball, two strikes to the pitch from Bird to Vostok, inside, with the...

445
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,600
and a count even 2-2, Vostok.

446
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:48,600
Had to flatten out to get out of the way of that one.

447
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:54,600
Denny Sojan, the first Vostok crew of the twins, McCray and Brennan the Royals,

448
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,600
employed in a Red Rock batting race for the American Break Championship.

449
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,600
Nobody's really worried about that on the Royals ball club.

450
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,600
2-2, ground ball, that project, Red has it.

451
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,600
A throwing, and the inning's over.

452
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,600
Vostok out, took the first.

453
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Another 1-2 is waiting for Doug Byrne, he's retired, it's Kenan O'Rourke.

454
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,600
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.

455
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,600
We go to the bottom of the fourth, the Royals nothing to plan for.

456
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,600
You think.

457
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,600
Angelo Dundee is in shock by Muhammad Ali's retirement announcement,

458
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,600
but says when he hears it from Ali, he'll believe it.

459
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:36,600
Dundee asks, with all the things I've been through with Ali, how could I be shocked at anything?

460
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,600
Dundee feels that if Ali cannot give 100% of himself, he will retire.

461
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:47,600
As for the... he thought it was unusual that Ali would select a sad bull to make his announcement,

462
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:53,600
and unusual for him to make it without informing his trainer first, Dundee says.

463
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Is there anything unusual about Ali? He's just something else.

464
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,600
Atlanta Braves manager Dave Brustle has a new two-year contract.

465
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,600
Owner Ted Turner feels that Brustle will turn it around for the losing Braves.

466
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:14,600
Turner is very unhappy about the losing season, but is very optimistic about the future.

467
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,600
The Braves finish the season this weekend at Cincinnati.

468
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,600
They are in last place in the National League West.

469
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,600
31 games behind the champion, Cincinnati Reds.

470
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,600
It's the bottom of the fourth in the Royal Stadium of Scorla's ballgame,

471
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,600
and the Royals will send Otis Redditt-McCray as Dave Gold.

472
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,600
The number two, three, and four hitters.

473
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:44,600
We only have a moment. We want to say hello to Jim Keever, who's quite a Royal fan from Ashota, Kansas.

474
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,600
He's ill and in research hospital.

475
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,600
Here we hope you recover in a ring.

476
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,600
Also, happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fort-Senior from Archie Madura.

477
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,600
Their 60th anniversary today.

478
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,600
Happy birthday to Scott Mott, or Hot-Rudder, Scott Mott is the Royal's favorite.

479
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,600
Here we go to the fourth, Amos Otis steps in.

480
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:14,600
Otis broke his bat in a little looping liner to the second baseman Bobby Randall his first time up.

481
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:21,600
Mayo hitting 280 with 18 overs, 86 runs batted in.

482
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:30,600
Amos Whitehead is out of waiting and Gold delivers all into the dirt ball one.

483
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,600
Boy, what a night in Royal Stadium.

484
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:38,600
It would be a great night for the Royals to put it away.

485
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,600
It's warm, about 85 degrees, no wind blowing.

486
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,600
The hitters will get no help.

487
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:50,600
Bishes ball two to Amos Otis, 2-0 now.

488
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:55,600
Royal's third base coach, Scott Giller, is celebrating his 42nd birthday tonight.

489
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:03,600
I know how he'd like to celebrate it by waving some Royals on by.

490
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,600
What a Royal coaching staff has been so important this year.

491
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,600
2-0 Bits Otis, warm and foul Tim.

492
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,600
That one got Bush Weininger, the twin catcher on the left foot.

493
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,600
Two balls and a strike.

494
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:21,600
The Royal coaches, Scott Giller, Steve Foros, Galen Siscoe, Charlie Vowell.

495
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:35,600
From the moment they went to spring training and Bortmeier Florida this spring have worked and worked and worked and worked and worked.

496
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,600
This ball's rough. When are you going to win this game here tonight?

497
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,600
But Colts has been tough.

498
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,600
Then he told you, he's been tough all year.

499
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,600
Otis finally going to start a scoreless ball game in the bottom of the fourth.

500
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,600
Colts, the right hander, is set here for 2-1 Bits.

501
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,600
Strike beat on the outside corner and it's even a 2-2.

502
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,600
George Burtneck.

503
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,600
Here comes the 2-2 Bits.

504
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,600
Inside it hit him.

505
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,600
Otis Vicks on the left leg.

506
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,600
He's a board with nobody else.

507
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,600
We lose these scores.

508
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:21,600
One of our favorites, Henry Waite, is in the hot middle.

509
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:31,600
Henry is the sports director for NBC, ABC, CBS, Newsreel Radio, the Armed Forces Network, and all Europeans.

510
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:41,600
Henry, quite a man around the world, didn't he? He always helped the NBC crew out and then he asked if he was going to help NBC and he said he'd like it, nonetheless.

511
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,600
Why do a better Henry? Henry, you get ballin' to her.

512
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,600
So to Burt, not his side, Otis back.

513
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Brett the hinner is average at 849.

514
00:45:51,600 --> 00:46:01,600
Otis, a tremendous baseletter, as you know. He's stolen 26 bases this year, been caught only seven times.

515
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,600
Vicks by the gold fifth.

516
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,600
The fifth time Avis has been hit this year by a Vick.

517
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,600
He has a safely to throw to Burt, not in time, he's back.

518
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,600
The twin playbletters, an opposite field hitter, they give him a big gap in right center.

519
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,600
If George saw a Vick to fall, he could score Otis.

520
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Now, Gold's making contact with Otis at a huge lead. He had a foot out on the carpet.

521
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:32,600
That's way less than anybody else's foreign neighbor.

522
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:40,600
Otis again a big lead. Giroux holding him, throw that way, not in time, he's back again.

523
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:47,600
Say, Gold has yet to bick to George Brett. George Singled his first time up.

524
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,600
And he now has 210 hits this year.

525
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,600
Hitting over 400 against the planet.

526
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:05,600
Breaking contact with Gold, and again Otis back. Gold does not like the big lead that Otis has.

527
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,600
Thomas Mann and the American Vegas Bull with a big gap.

528
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,600
Otis leads them very, very well.

529
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:19,600
Gold goes in with weight to fix that time, and he's 1-0 on Brett.

530
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,600
And now you might begin to keep an eye on Otis.

531
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,600
Brett's wave is about around waiting.

532
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,600
Gold's still looking at Amos Otis as Gold attempts to complete it.

533
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:37,600
He is really bothering Gold. There's a foot of Burt. He got him, he picked him off.

534
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:42,600
Amos Otis sent off, and there's one out, nobody on.

535
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:48,600
Gold's before coming through, but Otis getting played into field and fired, and he got him, it was close.

536
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,600
So the leadoff runner has been wiped out.

537
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,600
And the Royals will have to start over. Gold is running the 1-0 bitch to Brett.

538
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:03,600
Breaking fix for a strike, and it's 1-1.

539
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,600
So the Royals have lost their base runner. Here's the bitch, Brett.

540
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,600
Right to double, left field, right fair model runner.

541
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,600
Goes around first to set him in second.

542
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:21,600
He goes right into second base standing up with a double.

543
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,600
His 32nd double of the year.

544
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:30,600
And the Royals have a man enjoying position with one out on the fourth, and now betrayed to the plate.

545
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,600
And Gold's pickoff of Otis now is very big.

546
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,600
It doesn't seem to be an easy foul that way.

547
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,600
In all likelihood, Amos would have been running on that pick and may have scored.

548
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:48,600
That's the very worst, the Royals would have run into second and third with nobody out.

549
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:56,600
But there's a runner in second with one out, and here's how McCray hits the ball hard to ground it into a double play his first time up.

550
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:03,600
Dressed by Gold for fifth, McCray takes it for a strike.

551
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:10,600
Back of good opposite field hitter, and Boxock giving him room in right center and in left center, playing him straight away.

552
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,600
But George's out slowly over in the hole.

553
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,600
Going base for Mike Covey.

554
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,600
Nearly deep and off the line.

555
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,600
Oh, about five, six steps.

556
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,600
They open the right side up for McCray.

557
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,600
On the end field, ran all over into the bag now going back.

558
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,600
What's the move behind Brett McCray?

559
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,600
It's a ground ball backhanded by Covey just third.

560
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,600
Ball throw, out at first.

561
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,600
And the third base goes left.

562
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:55,600
Brett Caru now talking to the first base up line.

563
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,600
Give it straight out, third to first.

564
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,600
Here's Mayberry over one in the ballgame.

565
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:07,600
He grounded the first base, but Brett now is third with two out.

566
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,600
Dave Gold sets to direct the fifth.

567
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:16,600
Ball one to Mayberry.

568
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:22,600
I think what's Caru's unhappy with how McCray, but Caru has got a habit of getting back on the bag.

569
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:23,600
The fifth.

570
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,600
Mayberry takes ball two.

571
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:34,600
Al Cowan would be next.

572
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:43,600
If you've been around and made the legs as long as Rod Caru has, you have to know that you can't take half the bag.

573
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:54,600
Al McCray has reminded him of that twice this year.

574
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,600
The twin now fighting the shift against Mayberry.

575
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,600
The shortstop ball is over behind the bag and second.

576
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,600
Bob Randall, the second base bat in right field.

577
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:08,600
Al Cowan over the count, Gold keeping the ball away from him, the fifth.

578
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Ball three, making six inside.

579
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,600
We're in the fourth in storm.

580
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,600
Mayberry trying to drive one home right here.

581
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,600
John, ten wheels from that waiting.

582
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:26,600
Very deep in the batter's box.

583
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,600
We'll see if they turn him loose on three or if he's taking.

584
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:31,600
Here's the fifth.

585
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:44,600
He's swinging and he misses the breaking six, the gap now three and one.

586
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,600
Gold flying at the rubber.

587
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,600
Mayberry again, ten wheels to bat.

588
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:52,600
Here for threat.

589
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,600
The fifth.

590
00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:00,600
There's a fly ball right field over near the running track at stand four and he's got it and the inning's over.

591
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:06,600
Mayberry flies to right and the Royals come away empty handed.

592
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,600
No runs ahead.

593
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,600
It's better a man picked off no errors and one left.

594
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,600
And we'll go to the fifth.

595
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,600
The Royals nothing and it winds up.

596
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:25,600
Zafriano Balotero, the Spain shot a six under far in 67 to take the lead on the first day of the three-day Donald Swalings golf cinema.

597
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Balotero's score equaled the course record set in 1967 by former Belgian champion Donald Swalings for whom the tournament is named.

598
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:41,600
The Spaniard was two strokes ahead of Lee Alder of the United States who shot a four under far in 69.

599
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,600
American Curtis Strange scored a two under far in 67.

600
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:57,600
Brian Huckett of Wales posted a far in 73 while John Garnardy of France scored a 74 and Tommy Aaron of the United States a 75.

601
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:07,600
Brain interrupted Bley with Gary Flair of South Africa and Trula Poussaint of Belgium, the only two other Flairs in the tournament, two holes out.

602
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,600
They will complete the first round on Saturday morning.

603
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:22,600
Carl Jastrzybski became the ninth oldest Flair to drive in 100 runs in the Pringles season Friday when he drove home Rick Miller with an NPO single.

604
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,600
We move to the fifth in the Royal Stadium of Stortford ballgame.

605
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:31,600
The Royals have about hit the twin Swedish single but neither team has punched home a run yet.

606
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:37,600
The Royal Stadium of Stortford is one of the fifths whining at a height of a four by number five, six and seven hitters.

607
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,600
Back to the mound, Doug Byrd once again. Here's Dunnick. Hi Fred.

608
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,600
Butch Weidiger retired on a fine play by Frank White his first time up.

609
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,600
Doug Byrd now has retired 10 straight.

610
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:54,600
The delivery to the twitch hitting Weidiger is over the globe all right.

611
00:53:54,600 --> 00:54:01,600
Jim McKeen the plate on fire.

612
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,600
One ball no strikes, still Weidiger.

613
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:09,600
Back comes Byrd in a line drive foul down the right field line.

614
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:17,600
It bangs off the wall and they two out Collins in the count of one and one.

615
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:24,600
The Minnesota Hits singles five slowly and right through in the first inning.

616
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:29,600
The Royals have two singles in the double.

617
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:37,600
Inside corner to Weidiger one and two.

618
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:42,600
One ball two strikes.

619
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:54,600
The fifth to the Minnesota catcher is down and in. Two balls two strikes.

620
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,600
Ballgamer is top of the fifth.

621
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,600
This is game one of the series.

622
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,600
Doug Reddy the two to pitch to Weidiger.

623
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:13,600
Breaking ball barely missed the inside corner to Nees. Full count three and two.

624
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:18,600
The Giants leading Houston two to nothing down in Houston.

625
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:23,600
Uxbridge the season tomorrow. They don't play Sunday.

626
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:31,600
Offsets fouls down George Brett with room as the ball goes away.

627
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:37,600
So Weidiger fouls out and up comes Larry Heidl who struck out in the second inning.

628
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:52,600
Doug hasn't walked anybody that's not news. He has two strikeouts.

629
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,600
The Royals play Larry Heidl slightly to full.

630
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,600
Doug works to the right hand batter.

631
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:08,600
Weidiger fouls back to the three oh and one.

632
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,600
A scoreless ball game top of the fifth.

633
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,600
The Royals trying to win it.

634
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:34,600
The oh one pitch. The ball ball or the change fouls back in the count of two.

635
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:39,600
The ball six strikes on Larry Heidl.

636
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,600
Doug Burr that drinks it all.

637
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,600
And a swing and a miss down he goes.

638
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:51,600
That was the identical pitch with the identical box that Iso struck out on in the second.

639
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:56,600
So Doug has his third strikeout of the ball game. He's retired 12th straight.

640
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,600
And the batter Jan Ford.

641
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:12,600
Ford's wide out to Amos Oden. He's been hitting deep right center field his first strike.

642
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,600
And a dig there. Nothing nothing top of the fifth inning.

643
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:22,600
The fight a duo shaping up between Doug Burr and Dave Gould.

644
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:30,600
That ball hit on his hands and he told his foul oh and one.

645
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:35,600
We mentioned earlier the ball game that Gould pitched against the Royals in Minnesota.

646
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:41,600
The Royals eventually winning one to nothing in 10 innings back on June the 29th.

647
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:46,600
It took Ford fine plays in the outfield by Hal McCray.

648
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:52,600
And then a sacrifice fly by Fred Potec to score McCray with the only run of the ball game.

649
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:53,600
The oh one pitch.

650
00:57:53,600 --> 00:58:03,600
Low and outside. One ball and one strike.

651
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:09,600
So Gould has lost twice to the Royals this year and Hal Fitzwarrents beat him both times.

652
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,600
It's a bird trying to get a duck.

653
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,600
Up foul near the Royals dugout.

654
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:18,600
Waffett chasing it but it's on a play back two rows directly behind the Royals dugout.

655
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,600
All clear for station identification.

656
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,600
This is the Royals baseball midlaner.

657
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:38,600
This is the American Forces radio and television service.

658
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,600
The

659
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:42,600
top of the fifth.

660
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,600
Base is empty two outs.

661
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:49,600
One and two the count to Dan Ford.

662
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,600
Juggs bird pitted to the right hand batter.

663
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,600
Hits a left center field and deep.

664
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,600
Back to Sam Fokette over his head and one out to the wall.

665
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:02,600
Fokette plays the tenor and by that time Dan Ford is second with the two out double.

666
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,600
So Dan Ford.

667
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,600
The man who we mentioned just killing down a one man crusade against the Oakland A's.

668
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,600
Is that worth against the Royals?

669
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,600
And he doubles with two outs.

670
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:24,600
And up comes Mike Cubbage who rolled out to the second baseman his first time up.

671
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:34,600
For Dan Ford that would be his 24th to base hit.

672
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:39,600
The Reds have retired a dozen.

673
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,600
He had not a lot of runners since the double play in the first.

674
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:47,600
But now Dan Ford hits one in the alley between Fokette and Otis.

675
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,600
At Mike Cubbage a chance to put the twins out in front.

676
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,600
To hit even up a three to base.

677
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,600
The fifth to the left hand batter.

678
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:03,600
Coming inside ball one.

679
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,600
And all those strikes on Mike Cubbage.

680
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,600
Mike a former Ranger.

681
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:13,600
Came to the twins in the first line of the trade.

682
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,600
Doug a backward lance of second.

683
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,600
He stepped off the rubber.

684
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,600
Dan Ford did not have that big a lead.

685
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:30,600
Nonetheless Doug chose to step back and start over.

686
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,600
One and all on Cubbage.

687
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,600
Good making ball.

688
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,600
The strike is one and one.

689
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,600
Gil Sundberg.

690
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,600
The Texas Rangers by Decker and Fomar in third.

691
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,600
And Texas has taken a two to one lead over Chicago.

692
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,600
Tony Perez as Fomar's first symptomatic.

693
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,600
The Reds lead Atlanta three to one.

694
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:56,600
For Tony Perez his 19th.

695
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,600
One ball one strike on Mike Cubbage.

696
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,600
Dan Ford at second two out on the top of the fifth.

697
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,600
A scoreless ball game.

698
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,600
Doug tried to hit the inside corner and missed.

699
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:14,600
Two balls and a strike.

700
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:20,600
Each team had a scoring opportunity in the first inning.

701
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,600
The Cray rolled into a double play.

702
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:30,600
Simon Botstock rounded into a twin jelly.

703
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,600
Two balls and a strike.

704
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,600
Here's the stretch by Doug in the fifth.

705
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,600
Ground ball up the middle but Motek is behind second.

706
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,600
He's got it over the middle area.

707
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:40,600
It's time.

708
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:41,600
Daniel Spivey desires.

709
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:47,600
Motek was positioned perfectly by Cubbage in his last round towards center field.

710
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,600
That Motek was in front of it.

711
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,600
And that's that.

712
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,600
The two are doubled by Dan Ford.

713
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,600
One hit, no runs and a man left.

714
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,600
We go to the bottom of the fifth.

715
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,600
No score.

716
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:06,600
Carl Yastrumsky became the ninth oldest player to drive in 100 runs in a single season Friday.

717
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,600
When he drove home Rick Miller with an infield single.

718
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:15,600
Yastrumsky hit a ground ball to Baltimore first baseman Lee May with two outs in the first inning.

719
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:24,600
Baltimore pitcher Dave Pagan missed the first base and taking the throw for May allowing Yastrumsky to reach safely.

720
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,600
Miller raced home from second base on the play.

721
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:33,600
Now Dave Brooks twice drove in more than 100 runs in a single season after he turned 37 years of age.

722
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:44,600
Others to perform at that feat included Ty Cobb, Ernie Banks, Honor Wagner, Mini Minotto, Hank Aaron, Zach Wheat and Bob Johnson.

723
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:53,600
Harusaho raced on Friday and saw the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds as favorites for the Major League Playoffs beginning October 9th.

724
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:58,600
The Reds were made two or three favorites which means they better would put up $3 to win two.

725
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:05,600
Conversely the Phillies were listed as 13 to 10 meaning a better would put up $10 to win 13.

726
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:10,600
The Yankees meanwhile were listed at 5 to 8 and the Kansas City Royals at 7 to 5.

727
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:18,600
Kansas City is the only team which hasn't clinched a divisional title but its magic number is down to one.

728
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:30,600
And at the rate they're going tonight perhaps it will be tomorrow sometimes before it's decided as to whether the Kansas City Royals have indeed won the Western Division of the American League.

729
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:36,600
It's not over yet. They're three and a half games ahead of the Oakland A's with three games remaining.

730
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,600
But the Oakland A's have four games to play.

731
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,600
Now let's get back to the Royal Stadium.

732
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:50,600
By number 5, no score. Al Cowan, John Lawson and Fred Pontec coming up.

733
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:55,600
Al Cowan goes back to the pitcher his first time up.

734
01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,600
No runs, three hits to Thread. No runs, three hits for the Royals.

735
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:08,600
Needless team is ahead. Golds delivered, breaking ball rolling outside ball one.

736
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,600
You can imagine the Royals are so eager to get a run.

737
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,600
Top foul back and out of play by Al Cowan.

738
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:21,600
And they got one and one.

739
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:27,600
Golds working very methodically.

740
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:36,600
Davis 14 and 14 with the league and ERA at 3.34.

741
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,600
The 1-1 pitch to Al is down and in, ball two. Good one.

742
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:46,600
Reggie Jackson has just opened for Baltimore and the seventh inning with nobody out is 27.

743
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,600
And Baltimore leading Boston 4-2.

744
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,600
Cowan's this one over the jump stop and the left turn is a big hit.

745
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,600
Now the last one is put down to break.

746
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,600
Cowan's whooping one under the jump stop, right falling.

747
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:08,600
And the Royals back to the redock man for it for the first time in five innings.

748
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,600
Up comes John Waffentheke.

749
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:23,600
John a fly ball in the right field his first time up.

750
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:30,600
John maybe asks a bunch.

751
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,600
Al Cowan off the bag and Al has a pretty good lead.

752
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:44,600
Waffentheke's going away and he lines his foul outside first and on down the right field line, 0-1-1.

753
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:52,600
John checking with Thursday's coach Chuck Hiller who by the way is celebrating a birthday tonight.

754
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,600
John a long-looking shot.

755
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:02,600
All the while Al Cowan's on his first base watching the Royals Thursday's coach do.

756
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,600
The Royals now could go to the butt.

757
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,600
No balls and a strike.

758
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:21,600
First goal goes over the first to runner back.

759
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:22,600
No score bottom of the fifth.

760
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,600
One-on-none out.

761
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,600
Waffentheke was not going to body.

762
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:39,600
He was going to fling away and the pitch came in low in the count one-on-one.

763
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,600
Chuck Hiller going through the spine once again.

764
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,600
Waffentheke back in the batter's box.

765
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,600
Cowan's establishing a lead.

766
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,600
Goal plants the right foot.

767
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,600
Chuck's been with his catcher's with Twyneager.

768
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,600
And now steps back off the rubber.

769
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:59,600
One ball and one strike on John Waffentheke.

770
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:03,600
Al Cowan's open the inning with a single into left center.

771
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:09,600
Al draws the throw just as he was leaving the bag to establish his lead.

772
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:15,600
So no trouble getting back.

773
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,600
The Royals with just singles and a double off Dave Gold.

774
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:22,600
Good throw to first.

775
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,600
Cowan's diving back into the bag.

776
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,600
The singles by Tom Fosette and George Brett.

777
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:32,600
Brett single off the glove of the first-top Roy's Wally.

778
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,600
And the extra base hit was Brett's double in the fourth.

779
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:42,600
Otis had started the inning being hit by a gold pitch, but the Namers were sent off.

780
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,600
So Brett's double came with one out, nobody a-hawing.

781
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,600
Waffentheke hit the down ball past the victim.

782
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,600
Second base was raised to tag and over to first.

783
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,600
Second base was first.

784
01:07:53,600 --> 01:08:00,600
But Al Cowan was fouled by Roy's Wally who made quite a play.

785
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:05,600
Wally charging that down ball was past second base.

786
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:10,600
So he lost any chance he had at the fourth and second base.

787
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:15,600
As he moved towards the end and sent himself to the goal, he made a quick swipe at Al Cowan.

788
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:20,600
And he nicked Al in the church for the out.

789
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,600
Waffentheke first won away in the batter of Brett Poptec.

790
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:28,600
Brett number one, thrown out to the pitcher Dave Gold for the first time up.

791
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:33,600
So Wally making a very good play in front of second base.

792
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,600
He was able to tag Al Cowan, but he couldn't get Waffentheke.

793
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,600
John runs very well.

794
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,600
Poptec is swinging a miss, throwing one.

795
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:55,600
No balls for the strike on Brett Poptec.

796
01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:00,600
No reading signs, back he comes and Brett he swings to the breaking ball and misses.

797
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:06,600
And the count goes to two.

798
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,600
Nothing, nothing.

799
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,600
The Royals down in with four hits.

800
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:18,600
The clean is at three.

801
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,600
Frank White in the on deck circle.

802
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:22,600
The stretch of the pitch.

803
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:32,600
Bouncing ball takes him up here.

804
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,600
Brett Poptec now with a single in the left.

805
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:46,600
Mike Tumich to third base, but made a headlong dive and came up empty.

806
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,600
Two on one out and here's Frank White.

807
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,600
Frank getting in the ninth spot tonight.

808
01:09:52,600 --> 01:10:01,600
He rolled to the cut top his first time up.

809
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,600
The Royals trying to break this scoreless deadlock in the bottom of the fifth.

810
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:10,600
Waffentheke second, Poptec at first to hit the light.

811
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:16,600
Over but low, ball one.

812
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:23,600
Five hits off Dave Gault.

813
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,600
Dave hasn't locked anybody.

814
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,600
We mentioned earlier he is not an overpowering pitcher.

815
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,600
And he hasn't stuck out anybody.

816
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,600
The one on fifth down into the second base and they'll go for a double play.

817
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,600
It's Wally at second off to third base.

818
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:41,600
Waffentheke has to stay at third.

819
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,600
Out comes A.Walk.

820
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,600
The Minnesota manager.

821
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,600
He is pointing for first base.

822
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,600
Rod Carrillo coming off the back.

823
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,600
And Rod was on the right field side of first base.

824
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:06,600
And tried to swipe at Frank White who was already across the base safely.

825
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,600
So they get the fourth shot at second.

826
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:09,600
There are two guns.

827
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:15,600
And here's Tom Pochette with Waffentheke third and Frank White at first.

828
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,600
So two on two off, no score.

829
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,600
Royals batting in the bottom of the fifth.

830
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:31,600
And Tom Pochette has a chance to put the Royals in front.

831
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,600
Not a single in the first inning.

832
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,600
And they try to butt his way out in the third.

833
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,600
Dave Gault came off the mound to pick off the butt.

834
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:47,600
Tom was trying to drag it out toward the second baseman Randall who is playing deep as he is now.

835
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,600
But Tom didn't run it hard enough to get it past Gault.

836
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,600
Dave threw him out.

837
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,600
Bobby is 33 on the eyes.

838
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:05,600
He takes down low, ball one.

839
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:13,600
This standing room only crowd is Loyal City and just poised to explode.

840
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:19,600
You can see electricity getting involved by 45 minutes before the first pitch was thrown.

841
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:23,600
And certainly now the 1-0 pitch.

842
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:51,600
And here's the message. The ball gets away from Lionel Waffenthorne.

843
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:55,600
And they're helping the Royals. Well it wasn't very pretty.

844
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,600
But boy they'll take it.

845
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,600
Gault throwing that wrenchy ball down into the dirt.

846
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,600
Tom Pochette swinging and missing.

847
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,600
It is going a wild pitch.

848
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:14,600
And as the ball got away from Lionel Gault, Waffenthorne is concerned by a crisis of 90 feet.

849
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,600
He's now at second.

850
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,600
And the count on Tom Pochette, one and one.

851
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,600
And here's the miss.

852
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:30,600
Waffenthorne breaking the ball down and in, ball two. Good luck.

853
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,600
We need to stop and consider the day of Gault.

854
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,600
And we've said it, he's not overpowering.

855
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,600
He's a control pitcher.

856
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,600
He doesn't walk many, he doesn't strike out many.

857
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,600
But he's going to score his first keen wild pitch.

858
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:49,600
And he'll pop back up again. Round five. Knock the ball.

859
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,600
Drop the ball right in front.

860
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,600
Gault will take the drive for third.

861
01:13:53,600 --> 01:14:20,600
And Tom Pochette.

862
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:35,600
It's good enough we can say with the Royals, Wyman Crockstock to center field it.

863
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:40,600
With tremendous speed and he tried to run that ball down in left center.

864
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:45,600
And he made a headlong dive. He had the ball in his glove.

865
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:49,600
But boy he hit the deck and boy that artificial turf is hard.

866
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:54,600
The ball came floating loose like a wet bar of soap.

867
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,600
And very quite good.

868
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:00,600
Tom Pochette made it all the way to third base with a couple.

869
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,600
And Crockstock is first.

870
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:09,600
He was high as thing and then moving back toward his position in center.

871
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:15,600
And then suddenly doubled over and is in pain now attended to by the Minnesota Trainers.

872
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:20,600
The third team lost a manager walking out very slowly.

873
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,600
So the Royals have taken it to the nothing late.

874
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,600
It started with a swingle by Collins.

875
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,600
Lawson bounced into a fourth shot.

876
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,600
The base hit by Fred Hotchett.

877
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,600
Frank White bouncing into a fourth shot.

878
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,600
Lawson going to third.

879
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,600
And John to score on the wild pitch.

880
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:45,600
And now the double by Tom Pochette off the glove of the diving lion and Crockstock in left center field.

881
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,600
And suddenly it's 2-0 Royals.

882
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:53,600
Yeah I think there's something very repeating. We haven't talked about it for a long time.

883
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,600
All the talk about rookies of the year.

884
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,600
Tom Pochette has had a lot of consideration.

885
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,600
Maybe because he's played five-0 I guess right handed pitching.

886
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:04,600
When you think of a great defensive play as he's turned in.

887
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,600
He made 50s out of that. He's hitting over 300.

888
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:11,600
It's just a darn shame if he gets overlooked.

889
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,600
Now in right field, Gallimaga. I hope it's not claimant.

890
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,600
There is a fan telling the shot we're number one.

891
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:23,600
Well it's only in the fifth so we're looking on it.

892
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,600
Well we're tied to number one. That counts for something.

893
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,600
That's right.

894
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:36,600
Meanwhile in center field they are still gathered around Lyman Bobstock.

895
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:44,600
Dave Goltz the pitcher continues to stay loose.

896
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:51,600
It would appear that there is a killing war if that would be the correct terminology

897
01:16:51,600 --> 01:17:04,600
between the general admission section in left and the general admission bands in right field.

898
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,600
Several signs are popping up here at the Royals stadium.

899
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:15,600
There's a sizable sign held up by fans down the right field line.

900
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:24,600
And the sign there simply says number one, Royals Western Division champs.

901
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:31,600
It says it all. The Royals are not quite ready to assume that label.

902
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:37,600
But as we said they certainly have one foot very solidly in the door.

903
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:43,600
And all they have to do now is to maintain their lead which is 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth.

904
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:48,600
And they can slam that door behind them and look then to the Yankees.

905
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:55,600
They will be here at Royals stadium to play the first game of the playoff one week from tomorrow at noon.

906
01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:04,600
Saturday October the 9th and then a Sunday night game on October the 10th.

907
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:09,600
That brings up a point tomorrow afternoon the Royals and the Twins play.

908
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:15,600
That game was originally slated to be played at 7.30 tomorrow night.

909
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:24,600
But it's an afternoon game it will start at 1.30 or more correctly 1.20 because of Nashville television.

910
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,600
And the pitchers will be Dennis Leonard and Jim Hughes.

911
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:34,600
And then Sunday afternoon Paul Swinorth or Alphys Morris against Bill Singer.

912
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:38,600
And I think I see Bill Singer loosing in the Twins bullpen now.

913
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:49,600
So Bill getting ready to pitch here on Sunday doing his throwing in the bullpen.

914
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:56,600
Lyman Boscak after getting much attention is okay.

915
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,600
He will stay in the ball game.

916
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:15,600
Dave Colts continues to throw.

917
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,600
That was good to go. Amos Otis with the play.

918
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,600
Bob McKenna turns two out way to the bottom of the fifth.

919
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:32,600
The Royals just score in two runs.

920
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:37,600
The right hander throwing now in the Twins bullpen is Bob Johnson.

921
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:43,600
Otis dropping a fast takes a pitch outside ball one.

922
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,600
They have talked to the second base for the first time up.

923
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:51,600
In the fourth inning he was hit by a pitch ball.

924
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,600
The Royals have scored two here in the fifth.

925
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,600
Tom Pocet doubles getting Frank Whitehall.

926
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,600
The one old pitch to Amazonas hits a left center field and deep.

927
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:05,600
That's what Boscak still going back to make the catch near the warning track.

928
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,600
And that retires the drive.

929
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:12,600
The Royals come up with two runs on three hits.

930
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:17,600
They lead one and after five the Royals two and the Twins nothing.

931
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:23,600
Brookie George Burns who led in the final rounds of the World and Houston Open this year.

932
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:30,600
George the new second round lead of the $135,000 Sahara Invitational Golf Tournament.

933
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:36,600
They rained six under bar 65 or a 36 hole total of 132.

934
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:43,600
Playing all day when a rare October desert rain showers followed a spectacular night of lightning and thunder.

935
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:52,600
Six foot two, 210 pound Burns of Delray Beach Florida took a one shot advantage over second year pro Bruce Lipsky and George Archer.

936
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,600
A 1969 Masters champion.

937
01:20:55,600 --> 01:21:00,600
Lipsky had a 67 while Archer seeking his first victory in four years.

938
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,600
Not the 66 for a 133 score.

939
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:09,600
Two shots back at 134 were 46 year old Don January.

940
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:17,600
14 year tour veteran Charles Cootie and Mike McCullough defending champion Dave Hill match Burns to 65.

941
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:24,600
And with three shots back at 135 and a tie with Miller Farber who had a second round 67.

942
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,600
This is the first time I remember it raining here during the Sahara.

943
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:37,600
And a bet of 16 of them said tournament director John Romero. It got some rain but not that much said Burns who shot an opening round 67.

944
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,600
It was not enough to affect my game like this morning.

945
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:48,600
Burns who took a one shot lead over Masters champion Ray Floyd into the final round of the World Open at Pinehurst, North Carolina three weeks ago.

946
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,600
And was in front by three strokes with nine holes to go.

947
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:57,600
Caught at 7.30 in his round of 32-33 over the bar 71 court.

948
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,600
We move to the fix. The Royals lead two to nothing.

949
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:09,600
A fan has jumped out of the stands to drape a banner on the warning track in center field.

950
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:13,600
And now he's being led away.

951
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:18,600
Well, it's exuberant.

952
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,600
That excitement has overcome him.

953
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,600
Of course that's against the rules.

954
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:33,600
And the sad part about it is that he won't be around to celebrate.

955
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:42,600
He managed to take the hand of Amos Odinson center field but it's too bad he won't be around in the 19th England.

956
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:47,600
Hopefully the Royals can attach that sign to their dressing room, number one.

957
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:51,600
Bobby Randall takes the pitch from the inside corner on one.

958
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:55,600
So here we go on the six. The Royals two runs on a half a dozen hits.

959
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,600
The twins no runs three hits.

960
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,600
That's Bird ready and deal.

961
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,600
On the net by Bob Randall, the count on two.

962
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,600
Bob thrown out by Fred in the third inning.

963
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,600
He's the number nine hitter.

964
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,600
Steve Braun and Royce smally to follow.

965
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,600
Top of the six.

966
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,600
Dodgers struck out three. Back he comes.

967
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,600
Fastball, foot on a net, down goes Randall.

968
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:27,600
He's got a run away.

969
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,600
That'll bring up the twins, VH.

970
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,600
Steve Braun, he struck out in the third.

971
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:39,600
By the left field in the first inning.

972
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:45,600
He's the tenth and one out.

973
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:51,600
Doug started to go into his motion then stopped. Now he's ready.

974
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:58,600
Footed by Braun, popped up and Doug Byrne hits the depth behind him out.

975
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:03,600
Now he drops the ball and it's played by George Fett.

976
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:08,600
Braun trying to drag the ball past the mound and pops it up behind him out.

977
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,600
And Doug Byrne is spreading back in the pitchers now to haul it in.

978
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:17,600
The quickly two out and here's Royce Smally the slip hitting truck stop.

979
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:21,600
Royce single in the first, grounded to the first, they've been in the fourth.

980
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,600
Smally one out of two.

981
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,600
The line by Doug in the fifth.

982
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:35,600
What are they doing going on?

983
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,600
The magic number is one.

984
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:43,600
They win tonight for the Royals and there will be no magic number.

985
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:45,600
Roy into right field, face hit.

986
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:50,600
Al Fowler's over quickly to cut it off and Braun held it with single.

987
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,600
Another Smally, Roy belting the ball into right field.

988
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:59,600
The Smally two out of three.

989
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:00,600
The batter Rod Carew.

990
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:09,600
The Rod single in the first, grounded out in the fourth.

991
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:14,600
The Royce Smally has half of the twins hit.

992
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:19,600
The roof starting for the play now goes back toward the dugout.

993
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:28,600
The assembly would like to do back.

994
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:34,600
The Royce Smally at first, two out and here comes Rod Carew.

995
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:56,600
Rod hepting a new piece of rubber now with a fly the line direct to that bat.

996
01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:01,600
Rod Carew one out of two, single in the first.

997
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,600
He bounced out to Mayberry in the fourth.

998
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,600
The threat by Doug Byrne in the fifth.

999
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:19,600
A half fling and he kicked the foul on the count of one-one.

1000
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:25,600
No balls and one strike on Rod Carew.

1001
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:34,600
Doug takes the time, goes to work and throws a fastball in too tight.

1002
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:41,600
Steven Glory and Mark Lattell working in the Royals full fence.

1003
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,600
One ball, one strike on Rod Carew.

1004
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:51,600
Bouncing ball passed the mound, thanks to his right of gun it puts the ball back for the fourth time and that retires the tie.

1005
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:56,600
No runs, one hit. A man west, the Clips now in strand to three.

1006
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,600
The Royals come to bat in the bottom of the sixth.

1007
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,600
Royals two, twins nothing.

1008
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:07,600
One of the PCA touring pro Charlie Seifert shot a hole in one Friday,

1009
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:15,600
en route to a victory in the Menino-Spanish Centennial Open Tournament for pros at the Northern Ohio area.

1010
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:21,600
Seifert carded a three on the far 69 over 18 holes at the Wedgewood Country Club.

1011
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:27,600
His eighth, the sixth in his career, came on the 192 yard 4-3 17th hole.

1012
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:35,600
Seifert, one of the first black golfing pros, is a sixth iron and the ball went into the cuff on the fly.

1013
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,600
He won the use of a new car for one year for the eighth.

1014
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,600
It was the first time a hole in one had been recorded in the tournament.

1015
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:49,600
Seifert at 53 years of age is a pro at the Sleepy Hommel Country Club in Becker'sville.

1016
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:57,600
He had been on the pro tour for 18 years and occasionally played in PGA events.

1017
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:03,600
What was the score of the Kansas City Royals leading the Minnesota Twins two to nothing?

1018
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:11,600
Let's go back to the Royals Stadium in Kansas City for the bottom half of the sixth inning.

1019
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,600
The Royals two to nothing. Bottom of the sixth.

1020
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,600
The Royals two runs, six hits, no errors.

1021
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:21,600
Minnesota, no runs, four hits, and no errors.

1022
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:26,600
It'll be George Fret, Hal McCray, and John Mayberry.

1023
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,600
The Royals going in the fifth.

1024
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:34,600
Singles by Allen and Freddie Totec, a couple of points out.

1025
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,600
The first run coming across on a wild hit.

1026
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:43,600
And then a triple by Tom Pochette off the glove of Lyman Mounstock to score a Frank White.

1027
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,600
The pitch to George Fret is high, ball one.

1028
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,600
George and Anthony will single in the first.

1029
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:53,600
He doubled down the left field line in the fourth.

1030
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:57,600
Outside, ball two, Joe Hal.

1031
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:01,600
Bottom of the sixth.

1032
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,600
Dave Golt runs the deal.

1033
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:08,600
Way outside, ball three.

1034
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:12,600
So Dave, who hasn't walked anybody, but he's hit a batter.

1035
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,600
In danger of walking the Royals' leadoff man.

1036
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:20,600
Three times the Royals have placed their leadoff men aboard.

1037
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:29,600
George takes ball four.

1038
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,600
The spread is on, here is Hal McCray.

1039
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:36,600
Hal's rounded into a double play in the first.

1040
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:48,600
And then a run out for the third baseman, Mike Cubby, in last time up there.

1041
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:49,600
One on, nobody else.

1042
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,600
Shoot-up of the Royals from the bottom of the sixth.

1043
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:52,600
There goes Fret.

1044
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:55,600
The pitch to McCray is followed back and out of play.

1045
01:29:55,600 --> 01:30:01,600
Hal trying to put the gap between the first baseman, Rod Carew, and the second baseman,

1046
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:03,600
Ronnie Randall.

1047
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:10,600
Randall was going over to cover second base, so you can imagine with Carew tied up with a runner.

1048
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:16,600
And Randall breaking for the bag how much room there was between the two for Hal McCray.

1049
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:24,600
Hal fouled it off in the count of one-one.

1050
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:26,600
No ball for the strike.

1051
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:35,600
John Mayberry with the next.

1052
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,600
Randall leads the stretch, not running.

1053
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:44,600
McCray hits a Wilkerson Church Center out-goes Bob Randall, the second baseman to tuck it away.

1054
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,600
So Hal McCray is down one away.

1055
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,600
That will fall on fourth station identification.

1056
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:53,600
This is the Royals face-balling atler.

1057
01:30:53,600 --> 01:31:06,600
This is the American Forces radio and television service.

1058
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,600
Jenny Matthews in front, right is Royals Stadium.

1059
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,600
Ramsey's Royals Stadium.

1060
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,600
Royals two, Minnesota nothing.

1061
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,600
John Mayberry at the plate.

1062
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:18,600
George Fred at first.

1063
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:26,600
He wants to throw. He was only one step off the bank.

1064
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:30,600
Banner is being carried to and fro throughout the ballpark.

1065
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,600
Each in its own way drawing a tear.

1066
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,600
Mayberry slams and lofts a high pop-up.

1067
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:40,600
The third baseman Mike Covey is in the foul ground to make the catch.

1068
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,600
And it's two away.

1069
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:48,600
So Mayberry fouls out, Fred at first with two downs and a battered Al Cowan.

1070
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:49,600
Al Cowan.

1071
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,600
Al is single in the fifth.

1072
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,600
He ignited that two in fifth inning.

1073
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:58,600
His first time up, he hit a comeback into the mound.

1074
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,600
Tom Vashorek of Solmer's Point Atlanta in his fourth.

1075
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,600
Atlanta is playing in Cincinnati with a red plate three to two.

1076
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:13,600
They are in the seventh inning.

1077
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:18,600
Al Cowan takes him.

1078
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:23,600
Fred has 21 stolen bases.

1079
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:25,600
Dave Gulp to the bell.

1080
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:26,600
There goes Fred.

1081
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:27,600
They pitch out.

1082
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:31,600
The shirt stops covering second and the throw is there to get him.

1083
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,600
So the twin's guessing right.

1084
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:38,600
The catcher is pitching out and his throw to Smalley was a time to get Fred.

1085
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,600
And in the inning.

1086
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:42,600
So for DeViles, no runs, no hits.

1087
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,600
The leadoff walk and nobody left.

1088
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:47,600
And the end of six minutes of play.

1089
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,600
DeViles to Minnesota, nothing.

1090
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:56,600
Johnny Pesky will be the only coach to return with the Boston Red Sox next season,

1091
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,600
according to manager Don Zimmer.

1092
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:05,600
Coaching coach Dan Williams, bullpen coach Don Bryant, and scout coach Eddie Popovsky.

1093
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:10,600
We're down Friday from the Chicago, rather the coaching staff after meeting with Zimmer

1094
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:14,600
Friar to Boston's night game with the Baltimore Orioles.

1095
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,600
New coaches will be named before or during the World Series.

1096
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:20,600
Zimmer said the move is not like the firing.

1097
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,600
We're all brought here by another manager.

1098
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:25,600
Is this the case of bringing in the people we want?

1099
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:28,600
It's the cruel part of manager.

1100
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:36,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1101
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:59,600
He rejoined the coaching staff on the urging of the glove.

1102
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:09,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1103
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:18,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1104
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:30,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1105
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:43,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1106
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:55,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1107
01:34:55,600 --> 01:35:08,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1108
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:20,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1109
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:33,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1110
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:45,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1111
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:58,600
The first base coach to pass two seasons, that is the Red Sox of 1963 and Ford of 1964.

1112
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:03,600
Happy birthday.

1113
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:08,600
Larry Heisler hitter, heard a trucking out flight, right hander's mannered.

1114
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:15,600
Heisler the 268 with 14 over.

1115
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:18,600
Raise the plan with 14 over.

1116
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:23,600
Mayberry holds the road at first a bit, knocks down the ground of the middle base,

1117
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:30,600
and then in field, that second base with 20 to hold on right there, notice wheels come all back to the end field.

1118
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:34,600
And the twins now have the time left aboard with one after the seven.

1119
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:45,600
And the hitter, Dan Ford, and you have to worry, you have to worry about Dan Ford's power right here.

1120
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:51,600
Ford hitting 268.

1121
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:57,600
20 hold run, 86 runs about an inch.

1122
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:02,600
Seven of those 20 hold runs have come against the Oakland 86 here.

1123
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:05,600
Then he's telling you how much he's helped the Royals.

1124
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:09,600
Well now he's in a position to hurt them, and out comes Galen Sisco, the Royal fishing coach.

1125
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:16,600
Left hander Steve Mentoli, right hander Mark Lattell are working in the Royal Pro-Fest.

1126
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:22,600
Galen Sisco taking a slow walk to the mound, giving them time to heat up a little bit more out there.

1127
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:30,600
The hitter now even at six of beef were under seven, the Royals have hit it up against the twins.

1128
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:43,600
Well while the Royals talk things over on the mound.

1129
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:53,600
Dan Ford is ready to hit.

1130
01:37:53,600 --> 01:38:00,600
He has hit the ball hard twice off first.

1131
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:14,600
Fighting her at second, and Heisel at first, and Doug Byrd set the goal, reading signs from John Lawson. The Royals play four feet from the ball.

1132
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:22,600
Dan Ford, a man who can change the whole complex of her ball game with one swing of the bat.

1133
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:29,600
He represents the lead, Russ.

1134
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:34,600
What a tremendous night here at the Royal Stadium.

1135
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:38,600
And Doug Byrd does not want this one to get away.

1136
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,600
Doug taking time.

1137
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,600
Now he's, here's the pitch.

1138
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:49,600
Right field on the outside corner of the breaking section, it counts even one and one on Ford.

1139
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:58,600
Doug wanting a ground ball, looking for a double play.

1140
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:06,600
Byrd with four strikes out, as won't know her.

1141
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,600
Right, one one fifth.

1142
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:14,600
Down into the dirt block, nicely by John Lawson, his two balls and a strike.

1143
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:24,600
Ford has the twins only after they hit five singles and four doubles for the Minnesota Twins tonight.

1144
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,600
Ford takes them waiting.

1145
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,600
And Doug Byrd running, here's the two one fifth.

1146
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:36,600
Strike, two, ball, and the count's even out.

1147
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:40,600
Ford has struck out 117 times this year.

1148
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:47,600
And Doug Byrd could use one right here.

1149
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:53,600
Ford with a big gap in right center, tried to block it his first time up, but notice how Randall ball.

1150
01:39:53,600 --> 01:40:00,600
Byrd's set, here's a stretch to dig to a pitch.

1151
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:05,600
Now a little low, that's a full count three and two, and now Byrd has to make a pitch.

1152
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:09,600
We said he hasn't locked anyone, he's seldom will.

1153
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:15,600
Only 30 men all year in 197 innings.

1154
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:24,600
So the odds are that Dan Ford is going to get a pitch he'll have to swing at.

1155
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:34,600
Early leading sign, the pitch, he walks in, ball four into Mason's order.

1156
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:38,600
That move, the tying run, the scoring position was won out.

1157
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:51,600
The lead run is turned, and Mike Covey did it for the play, and he is bounded out wide.

1158
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:58,600
Lattell and Midori in the ball pit, appear to be running.

1159
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:04,600
Covey, the left-hander batters, sets in at average, 257, three home runs.

1160
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:10,600
Three sixth runs about a dip.

1161
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,600
And now Byrd with a man he has to get him to seven.

1162
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:15,600
Left-hander batter waiting.

1163
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:20,600
They just loaded one out the stretch, the pitch.

1164
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:23,600
Just missed the ball, ball one.

1165
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:31,600
And that's certainly a little unhappy, kind of flaps at the ball as it comes back.

1166
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:34,600
Well, the turnovers are double play in this ball game.

1167
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,600
They need one here.

1168
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:38,600
Covey does his two-ground balls.

1169
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:39,600
They need another one.

1170
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,600
The stretch by Doug Byrd, the one open.

1171
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:49,600
It's a strike, and it can't even one-on-one.

1172
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:56,600
The outfield, straight away, and not deep.

1173
01:41:56,600 --> 01:42:00,600
Byrd, he's battling to keep the players off the scoreboard in the seventh.

1174
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,600
Here's the stretch, the pitch to Covey.

1175
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:07,600
Just missed, ball two, and it's two and one.

1176
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:13,600
Doug Byrd has him with a breaking six inside, trying to strike those.

1177
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:18,600
Bob Randall in the on-deck circle.

1178
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:22,600
Covey sets on the back line of the batter's box waiting.

1179
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:24,600
Byrd's running, the two-one pitch.

1180
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:38,600
Foul on a play, and it counts even two balls to strike.

1181
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:43,600
And now Byrd and Covey's little battle.

1182
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:47,600
Byrd does not want to go to three and two on it.

1183
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:50,600
He's running, here comes the pitch.

1184
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:55,600
Covey swings, it's a line drive towards right center field at the base end of the ballgame, the lead side.

1185
01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:59,600
And here's the third base, it looks like he's going to score at stand four.

1186
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:03,600
He's a round turn, hit it for the play to throw, he is safe.

1187
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,600
And the twins wait, wait it to.

1188
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:11,600
Covey's double with a gap in right center field.

1189
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,600
And he has cleared the base at the Minnesota Quinn.

1190
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:21,600
He's got a four-pointer score, an iso score, and a four-pointer score.

1191
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:26,600
And with one full, the twins have taken the lead in the seventh.

1192
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:38,600
And here's Bob Randall with a hundred seconds and one out.

1193
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:44,600
So the world's going to have to come from behind.

1194
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:49,600
And a rocket through the gap in right center that kicked off the wall.

1195
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:59,600
The stretch by Byrd to pitch to Randall, foul, but strike one.

1196
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:03,600
It started with one man out, strangled by Weininger and Heisel, a walk to fourth.

1197
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:09,600
And then Covey just rips it.

1198
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,600
Here comes the pitch to Bob Randall again, ground ball half-bred.

1199
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,600
He checks the letter of second base, fires to Byrd.

1200
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:18,600
In time there are two men out.

1201
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:22,600
Randall out, serves to Byrd, Covey called to second.

1202
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:26,600
And here comes Steve Broad.

1203
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:29,600
Out comes Weininger's on.

1204
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:34,600
That might be it for Doug Byrd.

1205
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:39,600
Looks like what's at his seam and gory will be the new royal picture, and here's the situation.

1206
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:46,600
We're in the top of the seventh, two out and a letter of second for Minnesota, the twins of score three.

1207
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:50,600
With Steve McCoury coming on to pitch with two men out now.

1208
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:55,600
Minnesota three, the royals two.

1209
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:59,600
Steve McCoury out of the bullpen for the royals.

1210
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,600
Mingo makes his 54th appearance of the year.

1211
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:03,600
He's one five, one five.

1212
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:05,600
He's safe mid-game.

1213
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,600
The children have a 2.35, 84th inning.

1214
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:12,600
Not worth it.

1215
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,600
So Doug Byrd is gone, and Byrd can't possibly be the winner now.

1216
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:19,600
He can only be the loser.

1217
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:25,600
But the royals can come back to win it and get him off the hook, or at least tie it.

1218
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:30,600
And Covey will face one down at hitting Steve Broad.

1219
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:35,600
Mike Covey, the big man for the twins at the moment at second base.

1220
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:40,600
His three-run triple is him and the twins' later.

1221
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:51,600
So Broad steps in, 0 for three, and then Gory ready to go to work.

1222
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:59,600
Mingo trying to end it here at the seventh and keep the royals within a run.

1223
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:01,600
Broad's average, 288.

1224
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:07,600
Lee Hall runs 60 RBI, the royals play him straight away.

1225
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:25,600
Mingo reading signs of a threat, but that's his first delivery of the ball outside of low ball one.

1226
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:29,600
Gory's good again, now the 1-0 bit.

1227
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:32,600
Missed away ball two.

1228
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:36,600
So Gory has missed outside with two pitches.

1229
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:48,600
Mingo, who got blindsided with a block and injured his knee in that battle royal on the open the other night.

1230
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:52,600
Mingo, club on his Navy, signed from Wampus.

1231
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:55,600
He said, here comes the 2-0 pitch now.

1232
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,600
Broad flings and chops his foul toward the royal dugout.

1233
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:19,600
Two balls and a strike.

1234
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:22,600
Looking ahead to the royal seventh.

1235
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:26,600
It'll be Cowan, Gwadun, and Vodek.

1236
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:29,600
Stretched by Mingo to this.

1237
01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:42,600
Chopped foul off the first base side that counts even two and two.

1238
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:50,600
The twins with three hits and a lock in the inning.

1239
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:52,600
Then Gory going 2-0 on them.

1240
01:47:52,600 --> 01:47:55,600
Broad is now back to 2-2.

1241
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:59,600
Stretched by the left-hander, down the pitch.

1242
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:02,600
And leaning out of the way, and it's a full count, 3-2.

1243
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:10,600
Broad had to give ground and get out of there.

1244
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:14,600
And then Gory now at 3-2 with Broad.

1245
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:16,600
Here's the stretch.

1246
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:18,600
The pitch.

1247
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:21,600
Fly ball right field. That should do it.

1248
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:24,600
Al Cowan just can't gender it.

1249
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:26,600
Makes the catch and the inning's over.

1250
01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:30,600
Broad flies to right, but the twins get three runs on three hits.

1251
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:31,600
No errors. The man left.

1252
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,600
And we go to the bottom of the seventh.

1253
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:37,600
It's now the twins three, royal two.

1254
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:41,600
The bottom of the seventh is the royal stadium, three to two, Quins now.

1255
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:46,600
And it'll be Al Cowan, John Watson, and Fred Potec for the royals.

1256
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:48,600
They try to regain the lead.

1257
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:50,600
The royals with two in the fifth.

1258
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:53,600
The twins with three in the seventh.

1259
01:48:53,600 --> 01:49:00,600
Cowan steps in, Alan Singles, and bounce out to the pitcher.

1260
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:03,600
Alan Singles, going to the royal two on fifth.

1261
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:06,600
The first pitch from Dave Goltz is a ball, ball one.

1262
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:09,600
John Zucamich over for the Phillies in the ninth inning.

1263
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:10,600
It's first of the year.

1264
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:12,600
The Phillies beat the Mets two to one.

1265
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:14,600
Former Royal King Garber got the win.

1266
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,600
Kyle Sips by Cowan, one and one.

1267
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,600
Jerry Kuzma's losing that game.

1268
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:20,600
Garber's nine and three.

1269
01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:26,600
Kuzma 21 and 10.

1270
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:32,600
This great crowd in O'Neill City, I'm wanting a seventh inning rally.

1271
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:35,600
Right into working into Gwen Fulpitt.

1272
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,600
The royals have six in, off Dave Goltz.

1273
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,600
The twins have seven in.

1274
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:43,600
They leave way to do.

1275
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:44,600
One more pitch to Cowan.

1276
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:47,600
Ground ball, tap down in front of the plate.

1277
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:50,600
It's going to be a tough play for Leininger, straight to the plate.

1278
01:49:50,600 --> 01:50:00,600
The royals have a dying run of order to settle.

1279
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:03,600
So Cowan's on the board with good speed.

1280
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:11,600
We'll see how the royals play it now.

1281
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:15,600
Steve Rye and Al playing center field for the Minnesota Twins.

1282
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:22,600
We play Lyman Plottoch.

1283
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:26,600
Lyman Plottoch apparently tore the ligaments in his left thumb.

1284
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:28,600
So Steve Rye is playing center field.

1285
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:30,600
Here's John Watson.

1286
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:32,600
He's scoring the royals for a grudge.

1287
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:34,600
Safe on a fielder's choice.

1288
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:38,600
He's flying to right.

1289
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:46,600
Cowan has stolen 23 bases this year.

1290
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:47,600
The pitch was in front.

1291
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:49,600
A good one in front of the plate.

1292
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:54,600
Leininger's only play to first, not as Watson, but the runner is second now, Al Cowan.

1293
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:55,600
A sacrifice.

1294
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:57,600
The play going 2-4.

1295
01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:01,600
And the dying run is going for the Canadian Alphapritt project.

1296
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:03,600
Now comes left manager Gene Locke.

1297
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:11,600
That may do it for Goltz.

1298
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:13,600
Leininger headed for the mound.

1299
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:20,600
The shortstop, Roy Smalley coming in.

1300
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:23,600
Locke is talking to his right-hander, Dave Goltz.

1301
01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:25,600
He has not signaled the bullpen yet.

1302
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:29,600
And he's going to stay with Goltz apparently.

1303
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:31,600
Locke is a hitter.

1304
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:34,600
He has singled and granted out to the pitcher.

1305
01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:37,600
Cowan's a single, Walton a sacrifice.

1306
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:43,600
And the dying runner's out there.

1307
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:54,600
Leininger still at the mound talking to Dave Goltz's pitcher.

1308
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:58,600
Locke steps in.

1309
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:03,600
Gene Locke has decided to stay with Goltz.

1310
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,600
Frank White at the on-deck circle.

1311
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:09,600
Boyle's trying to sign the game bottom of the seventh.

1312
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:12,600
Goltz reading signs from Leininger on the stretch.

1313
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:13,600
The pitch.

1314
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:17,600
Locke takes the side strike one.

1315
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:27,600
Leading 2-44 with 43 runs about it in.

1316
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:33,600
Locke is taking a look at Al Cowan who has a good lead of seconds.

1317
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:34,600
Now he's ready.

1318
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,600
Here comes the stretch, the pitch to Botech.

1319
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:38,600
Leipz left the butt and took a strike.

1320
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,600
He's in the hole strike two.

1321
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:41,600
It's a nice to call.

1322
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:51,600
With the play down by her, Gene Locke.

1323
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:58,600
Al Cowan with great speed carries the tying run.

1324
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:01,600
Botech in the hole.

1325
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,600
Goltz getting signed.

1326
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:07,600
Here's the stretch for the right-hander, the pitch.

1327
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:11,600
Just swinging a ball high one and two.

1328
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,600
Jeff Burrows is homered for the ranger.

1329
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:15,600
In the fifth nobody on his 17th.

1330
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:24,600
Texas and Chicago are tied 4-4.

1331
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:25,600
Red Botech waiting now.

1332
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:40,600
Goltz walking behind the mound to run down the baseball.

1333
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:41,600
Goltz back on the mound.

1334
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:43,600
Botech back at a batter clock.

1335
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:45,600
Run through the count.

1336
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,600
Stretch by the right-hander, the pitch.

1337
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:49,600
Well, ball's to foul.

1338
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:58,600
Chuck Hiller, the Royal Third Base coach, there.

1339
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:02,600
The outfield straight away against Botech.

1340
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:10,600
The field is deep dry as hell.

1341
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:15,600
Now Goltz getting ready again as the tie for Burt Weininger.

1342
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,600
Here's the stretch, the pitch.

1343
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:19,600
Chuck him out.

1344
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:20,600
There are two men out.

1345
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:25,600
Botech down swinging.

1346
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:29,600
The first strike out of the game for Dave Goltz.

1347
01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:31,600
And we're going to have a pitch in for Frank White.

1348
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:33,600
Out comes Cookie Rojas.

1349
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:48,600
The second pitch is for Chris McLean.

1350
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:52,600
Cookie Rojas to beat out a perfect run in Oakland to get the

1351
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:54,600
Royal Third run in a game Wednesday night.

1352
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,600
The Royal One 4-0.

1353
01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:00,600
A fairing of the Fed getter has two hits and 22 times the weight

1354
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:02,600
of the Fed getter.

1355
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:05,600
The W has been swinging about well the last week.

1356
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:10,600
It's average overall at 238.

1357
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:14,600
Osmo Kitt with me next if Rojas gets the board.

1358
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:16,600
But Weininger is allowed to talk to his sicker,

1359
01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:22,600
Bot Kerou, the Burt Base moment on the conference.

1360
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:24,600
Out to the mound to break up the conference is a white up by

1361
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:28,600
our Jim McKean.

1362
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:35,600
Rojas stands outside the batter's box swinging the bat.

1363
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:38,600
Three to ten wins.

1364
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:41,600
If the Royals are to tie it in a seven it's going to be up to

1365
01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:44,600
Cookie.

1366
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:47,600
And now Weininger back behind the plate.

1367
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:51,600
Gallants get the lead at second.

1368
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,600
Dave Goltz the threat, the first pitch to Rojas.

1369
01:55:54,600 --> 01:56:05,600
Cookie takes the ball inside, ball one.

1370
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:09,600
Third baseman Mike Covey deep, barely near the line.

1371
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:14,600
Outfield played away, not deep.

1372
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:24,600
Dave Goltz trying to claim some dirt out of these fights out

1373
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:26,600
behind the mound.

1374
01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:30,600
And Cookie shifts out of the batter's box again to loosen up.

1375
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:34,600
Now he's back in.

1376
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:39,600
Dave Goltz the right hander looks to put Weininger for a tie.

1377
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:49,600
Here comes the one-oh pitch to Rojas, ball two.

1378
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:54,600
The Royals, batman to tie it.

1379
01:56:54,600 --> 01:56:58,600
Rojas waves the bat around waiting.

1380
01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:03,600
Here's the threat to O'Bitt, striking it two and one.

1381
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:08,600
Cookie taking.

1382
01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:11,600
So kept kneeling in the odd deck circle.

1383
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:13,600
Tom would have singled and dribbled tonight his three times at the

1384
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:16,600
plate.

1385
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:19,600
Now Goltz off the mound again.

1386
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:22,600
Looks into the twin dugout for a moment, now comes back on top.

1387
01:57:22,600 --> 01:57:29,600
Again starts kicking at the dirt around the pitching rubber.

1388
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:32,600
Now he's ready, two and one on Rojas.

1389
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,600
Here's the threat and the pitch.

1390
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:38,600
Now Paul Hill at the middle, batting this.

1391
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:41,600
Now coming to round three, right coverley has a chance of

1392
01:57:41,600 --> 01:57:43,600
burrowing three.

1393
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:52,600
Here's the throw to second, Rojas in three.

1394
01:57:52,600 --> 01:57:57,600
And look at Cookie at second base, crossing his hands,

1395
01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:01,600
trying to flex this in the air.

1396
01:58:01,600 --> 01:58:20,600
And standing ovation for 40,000 fans of the yard.

1397
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:35,600
Nice fly.

1398
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:38,600
And Foget just put the Royals right back in front.

1399
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:40,600
Rojas is second with two out.

1400
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:44,600
And this stadium is alive.

1401
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:50,600
It is filled with capacity and they are on their free flowing.

1402
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:54,600
Foget still for three steps in.

1403
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:58,600
The stretch of this, it's a ball.

1404
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:02,600
Amos Oda's putting an active Foget kick into it.

1405
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:09,600
And there's action in the Minnesota bullpen.

1406
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:14,600
Foget has been in one of the Royals three runs.

1407
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:19,600
Now Colts, not satisfied with the time, makes contact.

1408
01:59:19,600 --> 01:59:24,600
Rojas throw the ground ball right back up the middle to tie the game.

1409
01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:28,600
The Royals have come rolling right back.

1410
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:31,600
Now Colts is ready, the one-oh pitch to Foget.

1411
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:33,600
Inside Wilds in.

1412
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:54,600
The third is going to hold on right there.

1413
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:57,600
Johnson and Brugmeier, Johnson on the right hand,

1414
01:59:57,600 --> 02:00:01,600
and Brugmeier on the left hand are working on the Minnesota bullpen.

1415
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:05,600
No on Tom Foget now.

1416
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:09,600
Second Wilds pitch in the game, charged to Colts.

1417
02:00:09,600 --> 02:00:13,600
The stretch of the pitch to Foget, striking at two and one.

1418
02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:17,600
Foget taking it all the way.

1419
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:21,600
Thomas Leeds has averaged a 3-0-5 with two for three here tonight.

1420
02:00:21,600 --> 02:00:25,600
And a big run at third base now with two out of the seven.

1421
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:30,600
The Royals now fighting to regain the lead after tying it.

1422
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:36,600
Close to Weineger, right hander to the stretch, two-one to Foget.

1423
02:00:36,600 --> 02:00:44,600
Ball high and a three and one.

1424
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:50,600
Left fielder Larry Heisel, center fielder Steve Hyde, extremely shallow.

1425
02:00:50,600 --> 02:00:56,600
Boy, if Foget can plant a gap in left center, then he's a good option to be a hitter.

1426
02:00:56,600 --> 02:00:59,600
He can run for a while, but three-one pitch.

1427
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:04,600
Foul on a play and a full count three and two.

1428
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:13,600
The lead runs just 90 feet away.

1429
02:01:13,600 --> 02:01:25,600
Foget trying to get him home with red notice to the plate in the seventh.

1430
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:29,600
Two strikes and gold, leading signs for Weineger.

1431
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:33,600
Here is the stretch and a bit.

1432
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:43,600
Ball 40 walking.

1433
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:48,600
Here comes Otis, the second walk he's used by Foget.

1434
02:01:48,600 --> 02:01:51,600
And now comes DeMott, that's going to do it for Dave Gold.

1435
02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:57,600
He wants Johnson, the right hander to pitch to Amos Otis.

1436
02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:01,600
So Dave Gold, caving the battle.

1437
02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:04,600
He cannot be the winner, he can only be the loser.

1438
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:07,600
Doug Byrd is off the hook.

1439
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:09,600
And as Gold sets for a dugout, here's the situation.

1440
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:12,600
We're in the bottom of the seventh with two men out.

1441
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:17,600
The Royals with runners at first and third have battled back to Dias, the scorer.

1442
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:20,600
Royals three wins three.

1443
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:25,600
Tom Johnson, the right hander out of the Minnesota Bullpen, making his 18th appearance of the year.

1444
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:26,600
And he's been tough.

1445
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:29,600
In 48 innings, he's given 43 hits.

1446
02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:31,600
One three and lost one.

1447
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:34,600
His earned run average, 2.64.

1448
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:38,600
Two-face right-handed hitting Amos Otis.

1449
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:43,600
In a 3-3 ball game with two out of the seventh.

1450
02:02:43,600 --> 02:02:49,600
And the Royals with runners at first and third.

1451
02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:57,600
Two out single by Cookie Rojas, it's tied the game.

1452
02:02:57,600 --> 02:02:58,600
Johnson says he's ready.

1453
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:03,600
The right hander backs off the mound to set himself back up on top.

1454
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:08,600
Otis sets in.

1455
02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:12,600
George Flick would be next if Otis keeps the inning alive.

1456
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:21,600
Again, the sweet crowd starts to roar in Royals video.

1457
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:24,600
Johnson to the first pitch, Otis.

1458
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:31,600
Outside ball one.

1459
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:38,600
Burtmeyer, the left hander continues to always been going by a right hander now in the Minnesota Bullpen.

1460
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:43,600
John Johnson leading sign from Flick Weijager.

1461
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:46,600
The stretch, Flick's still in.

1462
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:48,600
One and missed, and a count even one and one.

1463
02:03:48,600 --> 02:04:01,600
Otis after a breaking stick away.

1464
02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:10,600
Otis out of the battered box for a moment, Rojas at third, Burtmeyer gets it first.

1465
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:15,600
Otis trying to put the Royals back on top, as for time out and get to now is Johnson.

1466
02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:17,600
Delivered, but the pitch didn't count.

1467
02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:21,600
Played out by Jim McKean at call time.

1468
02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:29,600
The Royals are now off into the swim, eight to seven.

1469
02:04:29,600 --> 02:04:33,600
Now Johnson again ready, here comes the one-one pitch, Otis.

1470
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:43,600
Outside a mobile, too, and a two-and-one.

1471
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:48,600
John Johnson to the Rockin' Bay.

1472
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:51,600
Now kicks at the number.

1473
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:53,600
Otis getting some more time, John.

1474
02:04:53,600 --> 02:04:58,600
He's finding love, and now they're getting set.

1475
02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,600
Here's the stretch, two-one-pitch.

1476
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:14,600
Way and a miss, and a count, even two balls, two strikes.

1477
02:05:14,600 --> 02:05:21,600
Otis with a three-run homer against the twins, the last during the Minnesota and the ninth inning beat the twins, eight to six.

1478
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:27,600
Trying to put them on top here, the pitch way outside, and a full count, three and two.

1479
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:33,600
So now Johnson has to make a pitch to Otis, a low to base of the press.

1480
02:05:33,600 --> 02:05:40,600
Whether or not Tom Volkett will be going, two out and a three-two count.

1481
02:05:40,600 --> 02:05:46,600
That's a decision on the advantage for the Royals.

1482
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:49,600
Oh, what a great moment in the Royals stadium.

1483
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:54,600
Otis out of the batter's box now threats himself.

1484
02:05:54,600 --> 02:06:02,600
Tom Johnson ready to pitch, there goes Volkett, a foul, and a count remains three and two.

1485
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:08,600
Volkett will have to go back to first.

1486
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:14,600
A single by Cowan started the inning, Waffin sacrificed to the second.

1487
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:27,600
That was two out, Rohans up at the pitch hitter, Drill will cycle the center to send him home.

1488
02:06:27,600 --> 02:06:32,600
Otis again, taking some time getting back in the batter's box.

1489
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:35,600
Now Amos does he, buddy.

1490
02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:45,600
Johnson into the stretch, the three-two pitch, strike three, Cowan in the inning over.

1491
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:49,600
A breaking pitch got him looking.

1492
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:52,600
And the inning's over but the Royals have tied it.

1493
02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:56,600
One run on two hits.

1494
02:06:56,600 --> 02:06:57,600
So where is the two men left?

1495
02:06:57,600 --> 02:07:04,600
We'll go to the eighth, the Royals three, twins three.

1496
02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:10,600
Well, we go to the eighth inning, tied three, three.

1497
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:16,600
The ball game now belongs to Steven and Cory and Tom Johnson, two relay centers.

1498
02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:23,600
Then Cory will face Royce, Molly, Rod Carew, and Lyman Bostock, the number two, three, and four hitters in the twins' order.

1499
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:26,600
To the eighth, the three, three tie, and once again here's Denny.

1500
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:34,600
Hi, sir. Royce, Molly has two hits, single to the first and he's single to the sixth. He grounded out in the fourth.

1501
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:39,600
Royals three runs, eight hits, the twins three runs on seven hits.

1502
02:07:39,600 --> 02:07:43,600
A final score for Boston, the Red Sox, seven, Baltimore, four.

1503
02:07:43,600 --> 02:07:52,600
Requires the letter, holds for a system loss, may have 15,749 in Boston.

1504
02:07:52,600 --> 02:07:58,600
Royce, Molly will be on the right side against Steven Zorich.

1505
02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:07,600
Steven has faced one man, he got Steve Braun on a fly ball to the right field to end the seventh, hitting in which the twins scored their three runs.

1506
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:12,600
Require the ball for a strike on one.

1507
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:20,600
So Steve will have to work his way through Molly, Carew, and then Bry.

1508
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:23,600
No balls on strike, here's the pitch.

1509
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:26,600
The screwball outside, one ball, one strike.

1510
02:08:26,600 --> 02:08:30,600
Steve's screwball breaking away from the right-hand batter.

1511
02:08:30,600 --> 02:08:33,600
One and one, nobody on, nobody off.

1512
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:36,600
Top of the eighth, it's tied three, three.

1513
02:08:36,600 --> 02:08:41,600
Outside corner, that time the screwball filed the honor, edge to the count one and two.

1514
02:08:41,600 --> 02:08:45,600
John Watham doing the catcher, he took the roll-off, stayed in the game.

1515
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:49,600
He is now at second base.

1516
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:53,600
The third, five seconds short, may vary at first.

1517
02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:58,600
And the outfield for Ken Otis and Collins from left to right.

1518
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:03,600
One and two, the count on Royce, slowing.

1519
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:08,600
He's already back in comes, missed the outside corner, two-two.

1520
02:09:08,600 --> 02:09:17,600
So Steve's keeping everything away from slowing, and he's run the count to two-two.

1521
02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:20,600
Signed him in, here's the pitch.

1522
02:09:20,600 --> 02:09:24,600
Popped up, down the right field line, everybody chasing it, it's a foul ball,

1523
02:09:24,600 --> 02:09:29,600
and may vary half-quite catch up to it, the ball is trying to top the rail.

1524
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:35,600
And it bounces back deep into the crowd, and the count on slowly, two-two.

1525
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:39,600
The ball just out of reach.

1526
02:09:39,600 --> 02:09:46,600
May vary, roll-off, and Al Collins all in pursuit.

1527
02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:52,600
Steve Mungore now getting a new baseball from the plate-up buyer, Jim McKean.

1528
02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:56,600
The Cincinnati Reds victorious tonight, they turn back Atlanta five to two.

1529
02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:59,600
Gary Nolan won his 15th.

1530
02:09:59,600 --> 02:10:02,600
Ruthland the loser, they had 20,000 in-sensing.

1531
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:05,600
The two-two pitch to Swalley.

1532
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:11,600
John barely missed, and Mungore looks questioningly at the plate-up buyer, Jim McKean.

1533
02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:16,600
Steve saw the pitch with a strike.

1534
02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:22,600
Instead of full count three and two, Rod Carew coming up next.

1535
02:10:22,600 --> 02:10:31,600
The three-two pitch, another foul ball, this one well back into the ground.

1536
02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:36,600
Three balls and two strikes on Roy Swalley.

1537
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:42,600
He's trying to get the truth started at the top of the eighth.

1538
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:48,600
Ben Gori reading signs, left-hander Redding and Geo, fly ball left field.

1539
02:10:48,600 --> 02:10:59,600
Tom Fokette to his left, underneath the ball, went away.

1540
02:10:59,600 --> 02:11:04,600
Roy Swalley retired on a fly ball in the left field, and it is Rod Carew.

1541
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:21,600
A single in the first, he rolled back to Mayberry in the fourth, bounced into a fourth down to end of sixth.

1542
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:35,600
Jim and Gori to Rod Carew, outside corner, well thrown, 0-1.

1543
02:11:35,600 --> 02:11:40,600
The ball's one strike on the Minnesota first baseman.

1544
02:11:40,600 --> 02:11:52,600
On the way, this one's slicing down through the senior club and bounces off one of the windows, and the count went two.

1545
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:59,600
The Royals are Jim Carew to left field.

1546
02:11:59,600 --> 02:12:03,600
Tapping it to, tying him in.

1547
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:10,600
Bingo, Redding and Geo, breaking ball, whacked into center, base hit.

1548
02:12:10,600 --> 02:12:19,600
Rod Carew is aboard. The twins have one on with one out, and Steve Rye coming up.

1549
02:12:19,600 --> 02:12:27,600
Steve Rye hitting 256, 22 RBIs and two home runs.

1550
02:12:27,600 --> 02:12:31,600
Rod Carew with 48 stolen bases.

1551
02:12:31,600 --> 02:12:36,600
Jim and Gori has an excellent move to first base.

1552
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:41,600
And he'll keep Rod Carew as close to the bag as he can.

1553
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:46,600
He comes to the plate, and Rye hits it into right field and down the line for a hit.

1554
02:12:46,600 --> 02:12:54,600
How is Miller to get it? Rye's on his way to second base, long throw, base at second base, cookie.

1555
02:12:54,600 --> 02:13:01,600
Running the ball back to the infield, as Rod Carew spinning around second going into third base.

1556
02:13:01,600 --> 02:13:10,600
So Rye doubles down the right field line, runners in second and third one away, and Butch Weidiger coming up.

1557
02:13:10,600 --> 02:13:14,600
Mark Lattell and Tom Hall throwing in the bullpen.

1558
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:16,600
Weidiger is a swift hitter.

1559
02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:31,600
There is one out and first base is open for the Royals pocket over at the mound, Rohan Waffen and Edmund Gori.

1560
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:34,600
Out comes Royals manager, Whitey Herson.

1561
02:13:34,600 --> 02:13:38,600
Smallie retired on a fly ball into left field.

1562
02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:42,600
And Edmund Gori was 0-2 on Rod Carew.

1563
02:13:42,600 --> 02:13:48,600
And it appears that he got a breaking ball up, and Rod Carew just threw it into center field.

1564
02:13:48,600 --> 02:13:51,600
And a pitching change will be made.

1565
02:13:51,600 --> 02:13:55,600
So Mark Lattell will be brought in.

1566
02:13:55,600 --> 02:14:01,600
A pitching change in the eighth inning, and the score is the Royals 3 and the Twins 3.

1567
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:07,600
Back at the Royals stadium, it's 3-3 in the eighth, but the Twins have runners in second and third one away.

1568
02:14:07,600 --> 02:14:13,600
And Mark Lattell, the new Royals pitcher.

1569
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:17,600
For Mark Lattell, this marks his sixth seed at the base.

1570
02:14:17,600 --> 02:14:23,600
Eight wins, three losses, and 16 saves.

1571
02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:29,600
Steven Gori has 10 saves, Mark Lattell showing the way with 16.

1572
02:14:29,600 --> 02:14:31,600
The Royals are in a tough spot.

1573
02:14:31,600 --> 02:14:34,600
The Royals are trying to win it all tonight.

1574
02:14:34,600 --> 02:14:41,600
And the Twins, down 2-0 in the seventh, got three runs to take a one-run lead.

1575
02:14:41,600 --> 02:14:45,600
Back in, the Royals are on Tuckie Rojas, single to tie it at the bottom of the seventh.

1576
02:14:45,600 --> 02:14:50,600
And the Twins now seem intent on grabbing the lead right back.

1577
02:14:50,600 --> 02:15:02,600
So Mark Lattell, who can strike you out, but who sometimes is wild, has perhaps the biggest assignment of his young life.

1578
02:15:02,600 --> 02:15:10,600
Another youngster, Butch Weineger, is the first man that Mark Lattell will face.

1579
02:15:10,600 --> 02:15:17,600
First bases open, George Flett coming to the round, so we'll see what the Royals do.

1580
02:15:17,600 --> 02:15:24,600
If you walk Butch Weineger, it would blow the bases, set up a force anywhere.

1581
02:15:24,600 --> 02:15:27,600
And the Royals then could gamble on an inning-ending double play.

1582
02:15:27,600 --> 02:15:30,600
And that's what they're going to do, they're going to walk Weineger.

1583
02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:36,600
On the other side of the coin, this puts more pressure on the pitcher, Mark Lattell.

1584
02:15:36,600 --> 02:15:43,600
With the bases loaded in a 3-3 game, there is no margin for error.

1585
02:15:43,600 --> 02:15:48,600
So you are forcing Mark Lattell to throw strikes.

1586
02:15:48,600 --> 02:15:50,600
Larry Heisel would be coming up.

1587
02:15:50,600 --> 02:15:55,600
Larry and Outfielder with power, who will strike out.

1588
02:15:55,600 --> 02:16:01,600
And really, it's your classic matchup, strikeout pitcher against a power hitter who will strike out.

1589
02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:12,600
There's the ball for the Weineger, and here comes Heisel.

1590
02:16:12,600 --> 02:16:15,600
Larry Heisel has struck out twice.

1591
02:16:15,600 --> 02:16:19,600
Both times against Doug Byrne, he's singled and scored.

1592
02:16:19,600 --> 02:16:22,600
So Larry, one out of three as he stands in.

1593
02:16:22,600 --> 02:16:26,600
In the three-ball game, the twins have not hit the Royals 9-8.

1594
02:16:26,600 --> 02:16:30,600
With one out here in the inning, Carew has singled dry doubles.

1595
02:16:30,600 --> 02:16:33,600
And now the bases are loaded one away.

1596
02:16:33,600 --> 02:16:35,600
The Royals then feel the double play depth.

1597
02:16:35,600 --> 02:16:39,600
And Mark Lattell facing Larry Heisel.

1598
02:16:39,600 --> 02:16:41,600
The windup, the pitch.

1599
02:16:41,600 --> 02:16:44,600
Five-all run.

1600
02:16:44,600 --> 02:16:50,600
Rob Carew, the runner in third, always a threat to steal home.

1601
02:16:50,600 --> 02:16:55,600
15 times in his career, Rob Carew has stolen home.

1602
02:16:55,600 --> 02:16:59,600
And Cookie Mohawk coming to the mound.

1603
02:16:59,600 --> 02:17:06,600
And a good guess would be that one of the things that Cookie is talking too much would tell about, Rob Carew.

1604
02:17:06,600 --> 02:17:11,600
Also, the fact that really there's no margin for error.

1605
02:17:11,600 --> 02:17:12,600
You can't be cute now.

1606
02:17:12,600 --> 02:17:15,600
You have to rear back and throw strikes.

1607
02:17:15,600 --> 02:17:18,600
And give them your best shot, and what happens happens.

1608
02:17:18,600 --> 02:17:19,600
So we'll see.

1609
02:17:19,600 --> 02:17:20,600
One and 0.

1610
02:17:20,600 --> 02:17:21,600
Bases loaded.

1611
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:22,600
Here's the pitch.

1612
02:17:22,600 --> 02:17:31,600
Long enough, the backfall of the shot, one and one.

1613
02:17:31,600 --> 02:17:33,600
Mark with that outstanding backfall.

1614
02:17:33,600 --> 02:17:39,600
His velocity is as good as anybody's on the Royals staff.

1615
02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:42,600
He also has a quick shot-breaking slider.

1616
02:17:42,600 --> 02:17:44,600
Inside, Watson going to his knees.

1617
02:17:44,600 --> 02:17:47,600
And I don't know if John was crossed up or not.

1618
02:17:47,600 --> 02:17:55,600
But immediately after crawling that pitch inside, Watson made a beeline to the mound, and he stands in front of the mound.

1619
02:17:55,600 --> 02:17:59,600
His right hand on Mark Liddell's shoulder, and they talk it over.

1620
02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:06,600
Two balls and a strike, so a very, very big pitch coming up.

1621
02:18:06,600 --> 02:18:08,600
Bases loaded.

1622
02:18:08,600 --> 02:18:12,600
Top of the eighth, it's tied 3-3.

1623
02:18:12,600 --> 02:18:14,600
The crowd quiet.

1624
02:18:14,600 --> 02:18:17,600
Crowd test through, itching down the line.

1625
02:18:17,600 --> 02:18:19,600
The 2-1 pitch.

1626
02:18:19,600 --> 02:18:26,600
Slider followed away in the count to two.

1627
02:18:26,600 --> 02:18:28,600
Mark is guarding that base ball.

1628
02:18:28,600 --> 02:18:30,600
He wants one that feels just right.

1629
02:18:30,600 --> 02:18:34,600
And he doesn't like that one.

1630
02:18:34,600 --> 02:18:42,600
Ready hot deck coming in from shortstop to say something to Mark.

1631
02:18:42,600 --> 02:18:50,600
You can just cut the tension with a knife at Royals Stadium now.

1632
02:18:50,600 --> 02:18:54,600
Two balls, two strikes, bases loaded, one away.

1633
02:18:54,600 --> 02:18:56,600
Littell keeping away the eye on Carew.

1634
02:18:56,600 --> 02:18:57,600
Here's the pitch.

1635
02:18:57,600 --> 02:18:59,600
Sliders down in the breath.

1636
02:18:59,600 --> 02:19:02,600
They come home, out at home, to first base.

1637
02:19:02,600 --> 02:19:09,600
Base.

1638
02:19:09,600 --> 02:19:15,600
Shortstop to Don Laughlin for the fourth out on Roy Carew.

1639
02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:17,600
So now there's two down.

1640
02:19:17,600 --> 02:19:30,600
And here's Dan Ford.

1641
02:19:30,600 --> 02:19:38,600
Dan Ford would fall into the same category as Larry Heisel, our hitter who will strike out.

1642
02:19:38,600 --> 02:19:44,600
In fact, Dan Ford has struck out more than Larry Heisel.

1643
02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:48,600
Cookie Rojas again to the mound visiting with Mark Littell.

1644
02:19:48,600 --> 02:19:51,600
It is still tied 3-3, top of the eighth.

1645
02:19:51,600 --> 02:20:04,600
The bases remain loaded.

1646
02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:07,600
Dan Ford's right-hand batter takes it.

1647
02:20:07,600 --> 02:20:09,600
Still in Black始us at the first base.

1648
02:20:09,600 --> 02:20:11,600
5ni fire.

1649
02:20:11,600 --> 02:20:12,600
Heade of the draw.

1650
02:20:12,600 --> 02:20:13,600
The catch is there.

1651
02:20:13,600 --> 02:20:23,600
Dan Ford would fall into the same category as Willie Heichel, our hitter who will strike up.

1652
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:29,600
In fact, Dan Ford has struck out more than Willie Heichel.

1653
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:35,600
To be rowing off the gendarmes, visiting with Mark Liddell, it is still tied 3-3.

1654
02:20:35,600 --> 02:20:49,600
At the top of the 8, the basers remain loaded.

1655
02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:52,600
Dan Ford's right-hand batter digs in.

1656
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:56,600
Mark Liddell reading signs.

1657
02:20:56,600 --> 02:20:59,600
The right-hander from Gettysburg, Missouri, ready a deal.

1658
02:20:59,600 --> 02:21:03,600
Fires one-handed left, going one.

1659
02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:07,600
Ford flies to deep right center in the second.

1660
02:21:07,600 --> 02:21:09,600
He doubled in the fifth.

1661
02:21:09,600 --> 02:21:15,600
He walked his score to run in the seventh inning.

1662
02:21:15,600 --> 02:21:20,600
So a dangerous hitter at the plate, dangerous Dan.

1663
02:21:20,600 --> 02:21:23,600
He wears a big label, handle with care.

1664
02:21:23,600 --> 02:21:25,600
No ball, he'll strike.

1665
02:21:25,600 --> 02:21:27,600
Liddell ready, here he comes.

1666
02:21:27,600 --> 02:21:39,600
Mark Liddell, strike two, going two.

1667
02:21:39,600 --> 02:21:49,600
Going two.

1668
02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:54,600
Liddell bopping around.

1669
02:21:54,600 --> 02:21:57,600
He's taking over his own two-pitch.

1670
02:21:57,600 --> 02:22:05,600
And now climbs the hill.

1671
02:22:05,600 --> 02:22:07,600
They've supported the idea.

1672
02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:10,600
Dan Ford at the plate.

1673
02:22:10,600 --> 02:22:14,600
No ball, two strikes.

1674
02:22:14,600 --> 02:22:38,600
Wobbitt wig-wagging his way into the mound.

1675
02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:47,600
Dan Liddell coming on to first, Wobb Wattiger in depth, and with the bases loaded and no margin for error,

1676
02:22:47,600 --> 02:22:53,600
Iso grabbing into the fourth dot and Dan Ford out on strike.

1677
02:22:53,600 --> 02:22:57,600
No run, no hit, three to ask.

1678
02:22:57,600 --> 02:23:00,600
We go to the bottom of the eighth, five-three-three.

1679
02:23:00,600 --> 02:23:09,600
Tom Johnson facing Brunson, LaTrey Mayberry, everybody better get on, Al Taler.

1680
02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:13,600
That has several doubles in one.

1681
02:23:13,600 --> 02:23:18,600
Royal Sri Lund's eight hits, the twins Sri Lund's nine hits.

1682
02:23:18,600 --> 02:23:25,600
Bill Campbell, the right-hander, Tom Burkheim, the left-hander, working in the twin full-fins.

1683
02:23:25,600 --> 02:23:30,600
Tom Johnson hits it to Brett.

1684
02:23:30,600 --> 02:23:38,600
Outside, ball one, one and all.

1685
02:23:38,600 --> 02:23:42,600
The magic number is one.

1686
02:23:42,600 --> 02:23:48,600
A change of off the curve ball for a strike in the count one and one.

1687
02:23:48,600 --> 02:23:55,600
As Royal's trying to win a division title in only their eighth year of competition in the American League,

1688
02:23:55,600 --> 02:23:57,600
the one-one pitch.

1689
02:23:57,600 --> 02:24:00,600
Fly back to the picture, make this bigger deal.

1690
02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:03,600
Brett Wittos to open the bottom of the eighth.

1691
02:24:03,600 --> 02:24:16,600
The winning one is first, nobody else.

1692
02:24:16,600 --> 02:24:19,600
Well, Brett whistles one by the mound.

1693
02:24:19,600 --> 02:24:22,600
Here's Al McCray.

1694
02:24:22,600 --> 02:24:24,600
Al runs for three.

1695
02:24:24,600 --> 02:24:36,600
He's downed it into a double play, bounce to third baseman, and hopped out to the second baseman.

1696
02:24:36,600 --> 02:24:42,600
Johnson stepping off the rubber, Brett had a good way.

1697
02:24:42,600 --> 02:24:48,600
He's looking for the front, he's going to get it, he's hopped up and oh, it's put it by Carell.

1698
02:24:48,600 --> 02:24:51,600
And now everybody's getting it.

1699
02:24:51,600 --> 02:24:56,600
Brett on his second base, and George had to stop.

1700
02:24:56,600 --> 02:25:01,600
Everybody was chasing the ball at one time.

1701
02:25:01,600 --> 02:25:06,600
And finally the twins found the handle and were able to get the ball to second base.

1702
02:25:06,600 --> 02:25:13,600
So Rod Carell had the ball go by his right foot and then everybody started chasing it.

1703
02:25:13,600 --> 02:25:18,600
And finally the twins, traveling, and they got the first out of second.

1704
02:25:18,600 --> 02:25:20,600
And of course, they had to hold up.

1705
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:25,600
He thought that Rod Carell was going to catch the ball.

1706
02:25:25,600 --> 02:25:32,600
So when it fell, there was still time to pick up the ball and get the first to second.

1707
02:25:32,600 --> 02:25:36,600
One away and it's John Mamary.

1708
02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:46,600
John is all for three.

1709
02:25:46,600 --> 02:25:50,600
Out comes Minnesota managers Dean Walsh.

1710
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:56,600
We look at Tom Brugmeier in the bullpen, also Bill Campbell.

1711
02:25:56,600 --> 02:25:58,600
And they're going to go to the left handers.

1712
02:25:58,600 --> 02:26:02,600
So Tom Brugmeier, a former royal, will come into the ball game,

1713
02:26:02,600 --> 02:26:05,600
a missing change being made in the bottom of the eighth.

1714
02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:09,600
The score remains, Royals three and the Twins three.

1715
02:26:09,600 --> 02:26:15,600
Here we go, John Mamary against Tom Brugmeier, left hander against left hander.

1716
02:26:15,600 --> 02:26:20,600
Collins would be next and Bill Campbell continues to throw in the Minnesota bullpen.

1717
02:26:20,600 --> 02:26:32,600
McCray is first and the fifth, going outside to John one and all.

1718
02:26:32,600 --> 02:26:35,600
Well, John Brugmeier is 57th of third.

1719
02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:36,600
He has eight wins.

1720
02:26:36,600 --> 02:26:39,600
There goes the runner, Mamary hits with his center field and he's deep.

1721
02:26:39,600 --> 02:26:44,600
That goes Roy, way back in the warning track where he makes the guess.

1722
02:26:44,600 --> 02:26:46,600
McCray has half a second.

1723
02:26:46,600 --> 02:26:49,600
He has to re-pag on his way back to first.

1724
02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:55,600
So Mamary sends Ry to the 410 line in the deeper center field.

1725
02:26:55,600 --> 02:26:59,600
Two away will follow for station identification.

1726
02:26:59,600 --> 02:27:26,600
This is the American Forces radio and television service.

1727
02:27:26,600 --> 02:27:29,600
Benny Matthews and Fred White back in Royals Stadium.

1728
02:27:29,600 --> 02:27:32,600
It's 3-3 in the bottom of the eighth.

1729
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:38,600
Royals have Hal McCray and Burns with two out and Bill Campbell,

1730
02:27:38,600 --> 02:27:43,600
one of the best relief hitters in all of baseball this year coming in.

1731
02:27:43,600 --> 02:27:48,600
Campbell has 16 wins, 19 saves.

1732
02:27:48,600 --> 02:27:53,600
He's yielded 144 hits in 165 innings.

1733
02:27:53,600 --> 02:27:58,600
You might remember a ball game in Minnesota a few weeks ago.

1734
02:27:58,600 --> 02:28:03,600
Campbell starting the ninth inning and the twins leading by two.

1735
02:28:03,600 --> 02:28:11,600
And Minnesota's at a three-run home run and the Royals won the ball game on that Saturday afternoon.

1736
02:28:11,600 --> 02:28:18,600
So the same Bill Campbell about to face Al Talon.

1737
02:28:18,600 --> 02:28:21,600
Fred, another big night for George Brecht.

1738
02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:26,600
Benny put together his 28th game of the season with his three or more hits.

1739
02:28:26,600 --> 02:28:31,600
This time he's had three or more hits in the game against the Minnesota Tries.

1740
02:28:31,600 --> 02:28:35,600
George had 27 hits against his long club now this year.

1741
02:28:35,600 --> 02:28:39,600
So George Brecht certainly rising to the occasion here tonight,

1742
02:28:39,600 --> 02:28:42,600
giving the Royals the opportunity to take the lead here in the eighth.

1743
02:28:42,600 --> 02:28:45,600
He got it started with a single.

1744
02:28:45,600 --> 02:28:52,600
He's had a defense tremendous all year long, 28 times now with three or more hits in the game.

1745
02:28:52,600 --> 02:29:01,600
So George with three hits tonight now has 212 hits.

1746
02:29:01,600 --> 02:29:07,600
And he has inserted himself back here to the top of the American League bag race.

1747
02:29:07,600 --> 02:29:14,600
Al McCray went in as the American League leader, but now it is 9-4-4.

1748
02:29:14,600 --> 02:29:17,600
The big run is three out of three.

1749
02:29:17,600 --> 02:29:21,600
Norman Bobcock, 10-3-3 and the season is over for Bobcock.

1750
02:29:21,600 --> 02:29:31,600
He will be sent back to Minnesota as he tore a ligaments in his thumb trying to catch the ball hit by Tommy Volkan at the fifth inning.

1751
02:29:31,600 --> 02:29:38,600
Rod Carew, two out of four, so he's certainly has set his name in the house.

1752
02:29:38,600 --> 02:29:42,600
Bill Campbell, set the face of Al Talon.

1753
02:29:42,600 --> 02:29:44,600
He has two hits tonight and infield hit in the seventh.

1754
02:29:44,600 --> 02:29:48,600
He came around the score. He's singled in the fifth.

1755
02:29:48,600 --> 02:29:51,600
Retired his first time up on a comeback here to the mound.

1756
02:29:51,600 --> 02:29:54,600
Ball breaking ball for a strike or one.

1757
02:29:54,600 --> 02:29:57,600
So Campbell quickly establishes the advantage.

1758
02:29:57,600 --> 02:29:59,600
No ball, one strike.

1759
02:29:59,600 --> 02:30:02,600
Al McCray is third, two out.

1760
02:30:02,600 --> 02:30:06,600
Red open the inning with a single to center.

1761
02:30:06,600 --> 02:30:08,600
McCray a good lead.

1762
02:30:08,600 --> 02:30:15,600
Too big to too Campbell, he steps back off the rubber.

1763
02:30:15,600 --> 02:30:20,600
Now a 21-score basis.

1764
02:30:20,600 --> 02:30:23,600
But only one since the All-Star game because of the bad leg.

1765
02:30:23,600 --> 02:30:31,600
He draws the throw and it's back.

1766
02:30:31,600 --> 02:30:33,600
Inside, 3-3.

1767
02:30:33,600 --> 02:30:37,600
Royal batting in the bottom of the eighth inning.

1768
02:30:37,600 --> 02:30:41,600
Here's the stretch by Campbell. McCray big lead.

1769
02:30:41,600 --> 02:30:43,600
There he goes.

1770
02:30:43,600 --> 02:30:45,600
Small is the swing and a miss over a slow two.

1771
02:30:45,600 --> 02:30:50,600
The ball is rolling away but not far enough to allow McCray to go to third.

1772
02:30:50,600 --> 02:31:00,600
Al McCray with a tap and hit for a slide as his 22nd throw of the day.

1773
02:31:00,600 --> 02:31:04,600
Talon's going to hold that hole in two but he picked a perfect pitch.

1774
02:31:04,600 --> 02:31:12,600
It was a slow breaking ball and all the catcher but Dwyer here to do was wait until he caught it.

1775
02:31:12,600 --> 02:31:17,600
And it took a while because of the off-speed bit and the curve of that.

1776
02:31:17,600 --> 02:31:24,600
Al McCray getting that little edge for that slow breaking ball right second base.

1777
02:31:24,600 --> 02:31:28,600
And now a face hit from the Royals on top of the cat 0-2.

1778
02:31:28,600 --> 02:31:31,600
Campbell running, here he comes.

1779
02:31:31,600 --> 02:31:36,600
Rupert going right there. Here comes down four and he's got it.

1780
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:41,600
A one-handed catch by Ford and Fanny.

1781
02:31:41,600 --> 02:31:45,600
No runs, one hit. A man left the board.

1782
02:31:45,600 --> 02:31:51,600
We go to the light, the twins three and the Royals three.

1783
02:31:51,600 --> 02:31:57,600
Earlier today Rick Pundy felt that his career high 32nd home run of the season.

1784
02:31:57,600 --> 02:32:04,600
Joe Parnham celebrated his 26th and birthday by scattering eight hits over 8-1 third innings.

1785
02:32:04,600 --> 02:32:09,600
To leave the Chicago Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the Montreal Expos.

1786
02:32:09,600 --> 02:32:14,600
The Cubs scored a pair of runs in the first inning against Don Sandhouse on a walk,

1787
02:32:14,600 --> 02:32:20,600
four spindles and a fourth out and Monday finished the score with a solo shot and a fourth.

1788
02:32:20,600 --> 02:32:22,600
Parnham walked none and struck out five.

1789
02:32:22,600 --> 02:32:28,600
He walked his shutout in the ninth inning on back-to-back doubles by Mike Jorgensen and Larry Parrish.

1790
02:32:28,600 --> 02:32:33,600
Bruce Sutter came home to get the final two outs and attempt save of the season.

1791
02:32:33,600 --> 02:32:39,600
Montreal's Jose Morales rounded out as an eighth inning ten-shitter to set a major league record

1792
02:32:39,600 --> 02:32:43,600
for most ten-shitter appearances in a season with 82.

1793
02:32:43,600 --> 02:32:50,600
He earlier had established eight major league records with 25 ten-shits.

1794
02:32:50,600 --> 02:32:56,600
The National East Philadelphia Phillies return home today amid reports that the team is involved in

1795
02:32:56,600 --> 02:33:03,600
internal disputes before 39th sector by a victory of St. Louis manager Danny Ogarkel,

1796
02:33:03,600 --> 02:33:06,600
a 34-minute team meeting.

1797
02:33:06,600 --> 02:33:09,600
Ninth inning is 5-3-3.

1798
02:33:09,600 --> 02:33:12,600
The scoreboard totaled by Danical.

1799
02:33:12,600 --> 02:33:20,600
The twins three runs, nine hits and no errors.

1800
02:33:20,600 --> 02:33:22,600
The twins have stranded seven.

1801
02:33:22,600 --> 02:33:28,600
The Royals with half-lift six to board.

1802
02:33:28,600 --> 02:33:34,600
Mark Lachell getting ready to sit to Mike Covey.

1803
02:33:34,600 --> 02:33:37,600
Mark did a magnificent job on the eighth.

1804
02:33:37,600 --> 02:33:40,600
After the intentional lock to Wadiger, the bases loaded.

1805
02:33:40,600 --> 02:33:43,600
Mike put the ice on a ground ball to force it to plate.

1806
02:33:43,600 --> 02:33:47,600
And Dan Ford on strike.

1807
02:33:47,600 --> 02:33:52,600
Covey doubled the drive in the three minutes of the run since last time up.

1808
02:33:52,600 --> 02:33:58,600
And he takes the breaking ball inside, ball one, one and oh.

1809
02:33:58,600 --> 02:34:05,600
Mike's double into the gap in right centers for Wadiger, Heichel and Ford.

1810
02:34:05,600 --> 02:34:12,600
The twins on top three to two with the Royals tied the game with a run on the bottom of the seventh.

1811
02:34:12,600 --> 02:34:17,600
By and outside, Walters, two and oh to Covey.

1812
02:34:17,600 --> 02:34:20,600
Each team threatened in the eighth.

1813
02:34:20,600 --> 02:34:22,600
Neither team scored.

1814
02:34:22,600 --> 02:34:24,600
So here it is the night.

1815
02:34:24,600 --> 02:34:31,600
And boy, the Royals taking their fans through a wringer tonight as they've done for the last month.

1816
02:34:31,600 --> 02:34:43,600
The Covey's are on a low pitch, four oh three, three and oh.

1817
02:34:43,600 --> 02:34:47,600
The Rock in danger of putting Covey to the board.

1818
02:34:47,600 --> 02:34:53,600
Back he comes three oh and it's way on inside, ball four.

1819
02:34:53,600 --> 02:34:56,600
So Covey's is on and John Wofford off to the mound.

1820
02:34:56,600 --> 02:34:58,600
Bob Waldo coming up.

1821
02:34:58,600 --> 02:35:12,600
Bob can handle the bat, he's a pretty good runner.

1822
02:35:12,600 --> 02:35:22,600
That would be the second loss surrendered by Lattell, but the first one was an intentional loss.

1823
02:35:22,600 --> 02:35:38,600
Bob Randall with the plays, Red and Wofford both going to the mound to talk to Mark Lattell.

1824
02:35:38,600 --> 02:35:39,600
One on, nobody out.

1825
02:35:39,600 --> 02:35:41,600
The Royals looking for a bunt.

1826
02:35:41,600 --> 02:35:42,600
Randall around the bunt.

1827
02:35:42,600 --> 02:35:48,600
Takes inside, ball one.

1828
02:35:48,600 --> 02:35:58,600
Left hander Tom Hall, right hander Ken Sanders throwing in the Royals bullpen.

1829
02:35:58,600 --> 02:36:02,600
Three to three top of the night, Covey's just burned.

1830
02:36:02,600 --> 02:36:06,600
Lattell set it to belt, Randall around the bunt, gets it down and it's a good one.

1831
02:36:06,600 --> 02:36:11,600
Mayberry's only play will be to tag Randall and he's got a knock through out of the base line.

1832
02:36:11,600 --> 02:36:16,600
And Randall comes back for Mayberry.

1833
02:36:16,600 --> 02:36:20,600
Bob is certainly no match for John.

1834
02:36:20,600 --> 02:36:24,600
Bob was offended by George Press.

1835
02:36:24,600 --> 02:36:28,600
And now McCrae grounded into a double play in the first.

1836
02:36:28,600 --> 02:36:34,600
So it is a very physical game for Bob Randall.

1837
02:36:34,600 --> 02:36:37,600
A sacrifice, three unassisted.

1838
02:36:37,600 --> 02:36:41,600
And now Steve Rana, there Steve is overbored.

1839
02:36:41,600 --> 02:36:49,600
Go ahead Randall strikes and takes him with jump one out and Rana slowly coming up.

1840
02:36:49,600 --> 02:36:52,600
Mark Lattell is to belt.

1841
02:36:52,600 --> 02:37:05,600
The fix of Rana outside putter is back one.

1842
02:37:05,600 --> 02:37:11,600
And now the big thing, tied 3-3, 0-1 on Steve Rana, left hand batter.

1843
02:37:11,600 --> 02:37:13,600
He is the twins' designated hitter.

1844
02:37:13,600 --> 02:37:17,600
Lattell with backwards launch and second, here's the fix.

1845
02:37:17,600 --> 02:37:20,600
Rana is half-noddled into the Royals dugout.

1846
02:37:20,600 --> 02:37:30,600
So the United shoot Mark Lattell, no ball, two strikes.

1847
02:37:30,600 --> 02:37:34,600
Rana is a good contact hitter.

1848
02:37:34,600 --> 02:37:39,600
He's batted over 400 times officially.

1849
02:37:39,600 --> 02:37:42,600
Steve has only struck out 42.

1850
02:37:42,600 --> 02:37:45,600
So he'll make contact.

1851
02:37:45,600 --> 02:37:50,600
Contact trying to bird dog from a 200-second out of 30 backing off his hotel bishops.

1852
02:37:50,600 --> 02:37:54,600
Go outside, one ball, two strikes to Braun.

1853
02:37:54,600 --> 02:38:05,600
Steve is giving in 60 runs.

1854
02:38:05,600 --> 02:38:09,600
One and two to Braun.

1855
02:38:09,600 --> 02:38:11,600
Trying to get him by John Lattell.

1856
02:38:11,600 --> 02:38:14,600
Mark Lattell comes to center to belt.

1857
02:38:14,600 --> 02:38:16,600
Backwards launch and second.

1858
02:38:16,600 --> 02:38:18,600
One hit to John away.

1859
02:38:18,600 --> 02:38:19,600
Hit into center field.

1860
02:38:19,600 --> 02:38:24,600
It's going to be in for a base hit.

1861
02:38:24,600 --> 02:38:25,600
Around third comes Cummings, a throw to the plate.

1862
02:38:25,600 --> 02:38:27,600
Mountain tied, the runner to second.

1863
02:38:27,600 --> 02:38:28,600
Trent running at him.

1864
02:38:28,600 --> 02:38:30,600
George running right at the man.

1865
02:38:30,600 --> 02:38:32,600
Now he takes the throw and he's out.

1866
02:38:32,600 --> 02:38:34,600
He ran out of the baseline.

1867
02:38:34,600 --> 02:38:37,600
But the twins get the lead run across.

1868
02:38:37,600 --> 02:38:40,600
And the man who walked in scores.

1869
02:38:40,600 --> 02:38:44,600
So Braun behind in the count, who's running the runner in front of Otis.

1870
02:38:44,600 --> 02:38:54,600
Four to three, Minnesota.

1871
02:38:54,600 --> 02:38:57,600
Two out bases empty, the batter Roy Swalley.

1872
02:38:57,600 --> 02:39:02,600
He has single-quites, flying to left, grounded to third.

1873
02:39:02,600 --> 02:39:06,600
So that's what the base run ball to the number eight hitter meant.

1874
02:39:06,600 --> 02:39:09,600
A four to three Minnesota lead in the night.

1875
02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:19,600
And he takes the strike going on.

1876
02:39:19,600 --> 02:39:20,600
Back comes Lattell.

1877
02:39:20,600 --> 02:39:22,600
Oh, one point of the strike.

1878
02:39:22,600 --> 02:39:25,600
The wall to strike.

1879
02:39:25,600 --> 02:39:27,600
Cummings has certainly been a factor.

1880
02:39:27,600 --> 02:39:29,600
Three out of the eyes.

1881
02:39:29,600 --> 02:39:35,600
And now he's scored the go-ahead run.

1882
02:39:35,600 --> 02:39:39,600
And he's headed to the royal ninth.

1883
02:39:39,600 --> 02:39:41,600
It'll be the lower third of the batting order.

1884
02:39:41,600 --> 02:39:43,600
The ocean's edge.

1885
02:39:43,600 --> 02:39:45,600
Strike called and that's the inning.

1886
02:39:45,600 --> 02:39:48,600
But one great big run is thought to play.

1887
02:39:48,600 --> 02:39:52,600
A walk, a sacrifice run, and a loop single.

1888
02:39:52,600 --> 02:39:54,600
That's how easily it was done.

1889
02:39:54,600 --> 02:39:57,600
One run, one hit.

1890
02:39:57,600 --> 02:39:58,600
And nobody left.

1891
02:39:58,600 --> 02:40:00,600
We go to the bottom of the ninth.

1892
02:40:00,600 --> 02:40:03,600
12-4, Royals three.

1893
02:40:03,600 --> 02:40:06,600
The Mormon All-Leagues are now in position to retire.

1894
02:40:06,600 --> 02:40:15,600
A heavyweight marketing champion apparently has set the stage for George Foreman, Kenny Norton, and Bob to determine a new heavyweight change.

1895
02:40:15,600 --> 02:40:26,600
The New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds are favorites among the Nevada oddsmakers to win their respective divisional titles and face off in the World Series.

1896
02:40:26,600 --> 02:40:37,600
The Orioles' owner August Firtz, as he shot and disappointed over the planned levy to get the club by baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn, were cappeling with Oakland A's players.

1897
02:40:37,600 --> 02:40:52,600
George Byrnes is gunning for his first tournament victory on the U.S. Pro Golf Tour after zipping to a one-stroke lead at the halfway mark in a Fajar Invitational Golf Tournament being played in Las Vegas.

1898
02:40:52,600 --> 02:41:06,600
Taking a look at some of the final scores in the American League, Boston seven, Baltimore four, Texas League, Chicago nine, four after seven innings of play, and it was Detroit over Milwaukee five to nothing.

1899
02:41:06,600 --> 02:41:18,600
And the Axe League, Chicago three, Montreal one, Philadelphia two, New York one, Cincinnati five, Atlanta two, and Houston over San Francisco five, four.

1900
02:41:18,600 --> 02:41:30,600
And the game of the night, four to three Minnesota. Tommy Davis coming out the back. Tommy Davis will be hitting for John Waffin.

1901
02:41:30,600 --> 02:41:39,600
Tommy Davis hitting 262 for the year on the three home runs, 26 RBI.

1902
02:41:39,600 --> 02:41:57,600
And the offense, get Bill to follow Tommy Davis, and then Cookie Rojas, four to three, Minnesota on top, and Viro Cabell, the twins' best relief pitcher on the run.

1903
02:41:57,600 --> 02:42:05,600
The right-hander ready and healed. Breaking ball, well not in Minnesota one. That was an off-beat breaking pitch.

1904
02:42:05,600 --> 02:42:13,600
He throws well about every 50 to block actually. Fast ball, curve ball, changes off the curve, throws the screw ball.

1905
02:42:13,600 --> 02:42:25,600
That is a breaking ball and a tap back to the pitcher. Over to first, ten time, one away.

1906
02:42:25,600 --> 02:42:51,600
The project being called back, and here comes Jamie Clark. Jamie's having 239, one home run, 14 RBI.

1907
02:42:51,600 --> 02:43:05,600
Jamie Clark out the back, four front projects.

1908
02:43:05,600 --> 02:43:11,600
The angels did not score in the top half of the first against right of loose.

1909
02:43:11,600 --> 02:43:23,600
The A's are now batting. Royals batting in the bottom of the ninth, trailing four to three. The twins got three in the seventh and one in the ninth.

1910
02:43:23,600 --> 02:43:35,600
Royals two in the fifth, one in the bottom of the seventh to make it a three-three ball game. The twins went ahead, a walk up front, and a hooping single to center.

1911
02:43:35,600 --> 02:43:47,600
Campbell pitches the clerk way outside ball one.

1912
02:43:47,600 --> 02:44:00,600
The twins are playing Jamie Clark to pull the ball. He's playing the misses in the count one and one.

1913
02:44:00,600 --> 02:44:14,600
The twins, four runs on ten is, the Royals three runs on nine is. One ball, one strike, bases that day one out. Campbell the clerk changes down into the second base of the randall.

1914
02:44:14,600 --> 02:44:43,600
He's got it, only the first is two down. So it's all up to Sookie Roach to be single to center to tie the game. And the Royals now are down to their last out.

1915
02:44:43,600 --> 02:44:56,600
Bill Campbell unleashes the pitch, a big sweeping curve outside ball one, one and oh.

1916
02:44:56,600 --> 02:45:13,600
Roy's calling a good stop in the ball with short. Breaking ball inside ball two to Sookie. Tommy Fulcant with the net, four to three twins, five over nine.

1917
02:45:13,600 --> 02:45:41,600
The twins trying to delay the Royals celebration. One shot, and it's in with the Royals. So the Royals are still alive. Rojas the clerk, two down, and it comes Louis Wilson to run for Rojas.

1918
02:45:41,600 --> 02:45:47,600
And he's going to run, getting by the hands, and right to the goal.

1919
02:45:47,600 --> 02:45:57,600
Willie Wilson with tremendous speed, Willie has two stolen bases to lose, two out of two.

1920
02:45:57,600 --> 02:46:18,600
That won't help the catcher, but Wininger is sitting Willie Wilson face to face over the second base. Wininger, just a youngster, 20 years old, had all kinds of problems early in the season throwing out runners.

1921
02:46:18,600 --> 02:46:31,600
Actually it wasn't all his fault. In most instances, a base runner, a base stealer will steal on the pitcher, not the catcher.

1922
02:46:31,600 --> 02:46:41,600
It became a mental thing for Wininger, but he's throwing much better now. Tom Fulcant up there, Willie Wilson draws the throw and he's back.

1923
02:46:41,600 --> 02:46:59,600
Tom Fulcant has fatal, simple walks. And the only time he was retired when he tried to better play on, Wilson away, draws the throw and he scammers back safely.

1924
02:46:59,600 --> 02:47:14,600
five to the nine, one on two out of this. Off-steam breaking ball, strike on one, Campbell throwing that tantalizing, low curve ball, nothing in one.

1925
02:47:14,600 --> 02:47:29,600
The head-steam is up and ten to eight, the tying run at first was two out, Wilson away, the threat, throw to forward, he took dig at that. You know, Willie may be going with a count of one.

1926
02:47:29,600 --> 02:47:37,600
Tom Fulcant backing out of the batter's box for a quick look at third base coach Chuck Gillard. And now he's back in there.

1927
02:47:37,600 --> 02:47:49,600
Willie Wilson away, the threat by Campbell, quick move to first to run it back. Campbell is quick out there.

1928
02:47:49,600 --> 02:48:08,600
Bill trying to keep him close to get his catcher to the end. Left hand hitter waiting at the plate. There he goes, they pitch out, the throw to second base, out, all game is over. The twins have won it. They get strike, they pitch down with a count of one-one.

1929
02:48:08,600 --> 02:48:16,600
And Willie Wilson trying to steal the touchdown. So the twins win it four to three and we'll be back right after this.

1930
02:48:16,600 --> 02:48:31,600
Well, it appears as though the KZ Royals are going to have to wait to see the outcome of the game between the California Angels and the Oakland A's because they have, again, failed to clinch the Western Division title.

1931
02:48:31,600 --> 02:48:51,600
Washington diplomats have a new general manager, John Carpere, who was formerly with the San Jose Earthquake. Diplomats President Steve Dantzanski said employing the 37-year-old Carpere is a close first step towards making the diplomats a first-class Major League operation.

1932
02:48:51,600 --> 02:49:08,600
More than 15 applicants were interviewed for a job which came open last month when Keith Dizart resigned before joining the San Jose soccer team two years ago. Carpere was an executive with the Milwaukee Brewers.

1933
02:49:08,600 --> 02:49:26,600
Liddy Sobe was a level-on rally to defeat Mark Record of Australia for the first time in her career, one-six-six-four-six-three on Friday to win the $50,000 Torrey-Swee-Luck-Satana Tournament. Right now let's get back to Kansas City for the wrap-up.

1934
02:49:26,600 --> 02:49:39,600
Well, everybody was certainly primed to pull the clerk on the Royal Stadium. Minnesota Twins were able to jam it down into the bottle as they edge the Royals four to three.

1935
02:49:39,600 --> 02:49:59,600
And all it took was a walk, a bump, and a loopy single to disappoint over 40,000 that were here in the ballpark, paying attendance for 38,482. And certainly to the disappointment of all those and the Royals.

1936
02:49:59,600 --> 02:50:12,600
The Twins have edged the Royals and have beaten the Royals for only the second time here at the Royals Stadium this year. The Royals took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth.

1937
02:50:12,600 --> 02:50:30,600
The Twins came back on a three-run double by Mike Tepes in the seventh inning, to lead by one. The Royals quickly tied it in the bottom of the seventh. Tootsie Rojas rounding a single in the center.

1938
02:50:30,600 --> 02:50:43,600
And scored on drawn, loopy, single to center. And that's how the Twins delayed the Royals' celebration by one night at least. So certainly a very disappointing ballgame. But it really was, Jenny.

1939
02:50:43,600 --> 02:50:47,600
You had the feeling all night long that the Royals were going to keep away somehow.

1940
02:50:47,600 --> 02:51:00,600
A lot of the defenders out here tonight are doing the empty ballpark one of the time labels. There are no days when that thing is on hold. We'll come back to haunt you. It happened here tonight.

1941
02:51:00,600 --> 02:51:05,600
The Royals got a two-round single from Tootsie Rojas. They were still alive. But they couldn't get it done.

1942
02:51:05,600 --> 02:51:18,600
All you can do is come back out tomorrow, fly them again. It was also that possibility that Frank Sinatra, the angel, won't have a fight of all of the other day. He's not in Oakland, California tonight.

1943
02:51:18,600 --> 02:51:35,600
That's before the ballgame. The Royals don't want it that way. They just included it with themselves. They just say, yeah, tomorrow.
