00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Detroit Tigers faced the Texas Rangers for a Tuesday night game at Arlington Stadium on May 17, 1977.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Detroit was coached by Ralph Hauck and were at best an average and aging team.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Their future was all still in the farm system.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
They started the season off slow with a 14-18 record.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Texas was a team on the rise and came in with a 16-14 record under manager Frank Lucchese.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
They had a few young stars like Jim Sundberg and Mike Hargrove along with a collection of solid vets like Burt Campanaris,

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Toby Harrah, Gaylord Perry and Burt Blylevin.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
This audio recording is from the Detroit Radio broadcast featuring announcers Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
This is only the second meeting between these two clubs.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Doyle Alexander now in the uniform of the Texas Rangers.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I had said earlier he had a career record of 13-3. I'd like to amend that to 11-3. That's about enough.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
He was 4-1 against the Tigers last year, winning two and losing none while with Baltimore

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
before going in the trade in June to the Yankees and then while with New York.

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
He won two and lost one and pitched him near no hitter against the Tigers last year.

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
He's on the mound. Ron LaFleur in the batter's box here for the play-by-play Ernie Harwell.

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Thank you Paul Carey. Hi everybody. Ron, they're waiting and here's the first pitch to him.

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
He swings and taps one toward shortstop.

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Fielded by Campanaris, throw to first, he's out.

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Paul LaFleur went up there hitting 242, hits the first pitch and bounces out to short.

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Here's Tito Fuentes. He'll be batting left-handed against the right-hander Alexander.

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Tito hitting 310, batting much better right-handed than left.

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Big breeze, a booming in from the outfield.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It'll be Harrah at third, Campanaris at shortstop, Wills at second, and Hargrove at first.

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Comprising the infield for the Rangers in the outfield.

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
They've got Washington in left, Benicas is in center and Grieve is in right.

27
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Here's a ball in too close to curveball. He started the month with good.

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Ken Henderson on the disabled list.

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Pulled a leg muscle on a hit-and-run play last week.

30
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Here's a butt attempt and it is past the third baseman down to shortstop.

31
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Campy can't make a play and Fuentes is almost about single.

32
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
He picked his spot, he hit it wide to the third baseman and slowly toward short, Campanaris came in, fielded the ball.

33
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Could not make the play, it'll be a base hit.

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Well, he got rid of one of those Alexander no-hit bits in a hurry tonight.

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Yeah, he's a man who flirted with the no-hitters so many times in the last couple of years.

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Couple of times against the Tigers.

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Here's Mankowski moved up to number three in the batting order.

38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Musty Stobb out of action.

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
He has a full muscle on the side.

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Mankowski batting 3.44 and he takes the strike.

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Alexander basically a slider and a stinker-ficker.

42
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Big tall right-hander from Alabama steps down the mound.

43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
He does it as the runner goes, the ball is swung on and fouled away.

44
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
That's when he's moving but he'll have to come on back.

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Two strikes, the count on Mankowski.

46
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
He'll be followed by Ogilvy.

47
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,000
He has a severe bruise on his right arm.

48
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Sustained in the series in Milwaukee, he can swing the bat not very well.

49
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Now the step by the right-hander Alexander, he flips one over to first baseman Hargrove

50
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
and back in time is the other Pumatis.

51
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
No score first inning, the man on and the man off for the tie.

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Here's the pitch, he swings and fouls it away.

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Right down below us, above the screen.

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Alexander so far throwing nothing but strikes in the early part of this game.

55
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Laplou bounced out and then a font single puts Pumatis on first base.

56
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
That's where we are now.

57
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Mankowski waiting on the strike two delivery.

58
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It's a wide one, Sunberg doing the catching.

59
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Outfield almost straight away on Mankowski.

60
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Still a good bit of daylight left.

61
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
It's cloudy however at the moment.

62
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Pumatis back standing up.

63
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
The Rangers have been thought off and on so far this year.

64
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They've not been able to get a big streak going.

65
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Throw to first, he's back safely again.

66
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Jerry Newdecker right over there on top of the play.

67
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Tigers came in here Sunday night, spent their off day in Texas.

68
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
And resuming action here this evening.

69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
The pitch is a tip foul I believe out of the mitt of Sunberg.

70
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
One and two, the count stays.

71
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
He's trying to check his swing, the ball nicked the bat going by.

72
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Ogilvy taking a couple of practice swings up the on deck circle.

73
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Now Pumatis leads off again.

74
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Alexander to the set position delivers.

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,000
It's a pitch out but Cito's not moving, 2-2.

76
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Tomorrow night we'll see two veterans go at each other.

77
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Gaylord Perry and John Hiller.

78
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
John getting a start.

79
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Here's the pitch, run it goes.

80
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Ball is plugged in the right field foul, back into the seat.

81
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:40,000
He pulled it a little bit too much down the line over the bullpen where the Rangers warm up.

82
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Perry is 2-4, Hiller has a record of 1-3 so far.

83
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Gaylord will be going for his 100th win in the American League.

84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
I don't mean he has won 100 in each league, only Cy Young and Jim Bunning have done that before him.

85
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
100 wins in each of the major leagues.

86
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Here's the set now, Alexander delivers.

87
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
It is a ball off, Pumatis held on at first base that time.

88
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:15,000
A full count now on Mankowski.

89
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Hargrove holding on the back trying to keep Pumatis close.

90
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Mankowski digs in, it's the scoreless first inning.

91
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:33,000
There's a throw over the first by Alexander, the runner back in time.

92
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Now the set by the right-hander throws to first again, Pumatis back safely.

93
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Didn't have to slide.

94
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
LaBird did chirping from the corner of the dugout.

95
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Here's the set and the pitch, run it goes.

96
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Ball is filed to the screen, they send him again.

97
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Time on the 3-2 pitch with the one away.

98
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And a new supply of baseballs has to be brought out to the plate umpire Al Clark.

99
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Clark back at the plate, Hugh Deckard first, Francis second, and Abramagan umpiring at third.

100
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Same umpire as the Tigers had in the Milwaukee series.

101
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Now the 3-2 pitch again.

102
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
There goes Pumatis, it is a ball low, walks him, and there are two men on with the one away.

103
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
That'll bring up Ben Ogilvy.

104
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
It'll be interesting to see how well Ben can swing with that bad right arm.

105
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Ralph Houch, when we were talking about starting lineup, he said,

106
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
well, Bob won't be in there because he's got a bad side, and Ogilvy is playing,

107
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
although he's hurting and really can't take a full swing.

108
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Ralph said, I'll have Ogilvy bunt three times.

109
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Well, we'll see. Two men on, one man down.

110
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Ben hitting 271.

111
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000
We're in the first inning, and he takes the strike.

112
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Ben swings so hard, if he cut down his swing by 25 percent, it's going to be a big swing.

113
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
One strike to count on him now.

114
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Man on second Pumatis, the man on first, Mankowski.

115
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Hargrove is playing behind Mankowski, and there's a strike called.

116
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Two strikes on Ogilvy.

117
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
These camp weights on deck for the Detroiters.

118
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
They've got a scoring opportunity in the opening inning.

119
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Two men on, one man down.

120
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Two quick strikes across on Ogilvy.

121
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Alexander to the set position, delivers.

122
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Here's a ball in too close.

123
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Jack knifes out of the way of that one, one and two to count on Ben.

124
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Mankowski can get a very big lead at first base with the first baseman Hargrove behind him.

125
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Now the pitch. It's a checked swing, ball two.

126
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,000
He almost went across, two to the count on Ogilvy.

127
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Ben steps out for a moment.

128
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Alexander taking his time.

129
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Ogilvy waiting. Here it comes.

130
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
He swings and misses.

131
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Got him on a breaking pitch, and I believe it was low on outside.

132
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,000
He strikes out, and the batter will be Kemp.

133
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Kemp batting 264 in exactly 30 games.

134
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
He has five home runs and 17 runs batted in.

135
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Alexander has now walked one, struck out one, and given up a hit.

136
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000
The outfield will defend straight away against Mr. Kemp, and the batting next will be Thompson.

137
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Cloudy skies in Arlington, Texas.

138
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Now being set by Alexander, the pitch is a slow curve. It's been close.

139
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Ball one.

140
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Talk to some of the ranger players. They say they like to play down here because they can find the places to live very near the ballpark.

141
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
That's the start of a little town atmosphere out here. Easy to get around.

142
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
The 1-2 delivery. Swing and there's a line drive. Base hit the right field.

143
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Greaves coming over the field of ball. Rounding third is DeWittes. He's headed for home.

144
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
He'll score. The throw goes into second, and on the third goes Mankowski on the RBI single by Kemp,

145
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and the Tigers have a once-or-nothing lead in the opening inning.

146
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Kemp delivers a single to right. The Tigers jump ahead.

147
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Here's Jason Thompson stepping in. Jason hitting.255.

148
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,000
The RBI leader on the team with.21. He is tied with Ogilvy, and for the home run leadership, each has six.

149
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Two singles and a walk in between producing a Detroit run and putting them out in front.

150
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
We're in the very first inning in Texas.

151
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Mankowski on the third. Kemp on the first. And Jason looks at a curve across for a strike.

152
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Enfield back now, except for the first baseman, Hargrove, holding with a runner.

153
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Moved him back with a fast ball. He jumped out of the way of that one. One-on-one account on Thompson.

154
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Well, we've got the old runmaker, Vince Desmond, here with us. He produced one for the Tigers today.

155
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Alexander into the set position, and delivers. Here's a bounding ball on the right side.

156
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Bump Wills comes over. Grunt did use the flip over to Hargrove, and the inning's over.

157
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Thompson is out second to first. The side retired. The Tigers get one. One run on two hits and a walk.

158
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
No errors. Two runners are left. At the end of a half inning, Detroit won. Texas coming to bat.

159
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
When Fred Cousins goes to work on the Marathon Pipeline in Palo Wyoming, he doesn't work alone.

160
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000
He gets together with guys like Tom Graham, Merle Severs, and John Sparger.

161
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
And together they go about the business of maintaining the pipeline.

162
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Fred Cousins could work alone. The job wouldn't get done as well, or at all, without the help of Tom, Merle, and John.

163
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Because each of them can do something the other one can't. So they get together to do it better.

164
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
The company is like its people, because it is people.

165
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
When Marathons found oil, our oil people got together with some pipeline people,

166
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
who got together with some refining people, who got together with some service station people, so we could do it better.

167
00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:02,000
We got together to do it better. We are Marathons.

168
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Marathon Oil Company. We got together to do it better.

169
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Dave Rosemont, the young right-hander, ready to go to work now.

170
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Dave, with a 1-0 lead, the tag is scoring there off Alexander one time.

171
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Rosemont has won three and lost none. First time out against the Rangers.

172
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:44,000
And he's completed his tune-up tosses. He's about ready to go to work.

173
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Rosemont beat Boston, you remember, in April on a four-hit shutout.

174
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:56,000
He beat the Brewers in Detroit on seven hits, and then he beat the Brewers again on five hits the last time out.

175
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:04,000
So he's three and all, and now faces Claudel Washington, who will be leading it off the sector.

176
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Claudel batting 323.

177
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Two home runs for the left-hander, that's 10 RBI.

178
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And it's Lowell, the first pick to him, Milton May doing the catching tonight.

179
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Thompson at first, Lewis playing second. Wagner at short and Mankowski at third.

180
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Now the pick by the Rose is swung on and fouled away right down below it.

181
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
One and one, they count on Claudel.

182
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:48,000
In the outfield, the Tigers have Kemp and Laplore in center and Ogilvy in right.

183
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Here's a cut and a miss by Washington, one and two to count on him.

184
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Laplore, the center fielder playing call to Claudel, a little bit to the left side.

185
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Here's the windup in the pitch.

186
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Swing of the bounding ball, deep first, gloved by Thompson.

187
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,000
He'll toss the Rose, McCovering, and out at first is Claudel Washington.

188
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Bert Campanaris, the veteran shortstop, ready to step in.

189
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Breeze coming in from the outfield, almost in center field, maybe right center.

190
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:33,000
And it is a strong breeze this evening, one nothing Tigers in the lead.

191
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Campy, been at the knees, waiting, standing near the plate, takes the curve across.

192
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:47,000
He's batting three all three.

193
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Here's a curve low.

194
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
We asked Dick Williams one time after he left Oakland who he thought the most valuable player he had on that ball club day in and day out,

195
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000
and he said Campanaris.

196
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Here's the windup in the pitch.

197
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
A chop, a hit toward third will go foul.

198
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,000
One and two, the count on Bert.

199
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
When the Tigers finish this series, they'll go into Cincinnati for the exhibition game,

200
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
and we will broadcast that game on our Tiger Network.

201
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Here's the pitch.

202
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
It is a curve outside.

203
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
That's that San La benefit exhibition game in Cincinnati.

204
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Mark Frederick coming back into action.

205
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And that's been added to our broadcast schedule.

206
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Now Rosema's going to get another ball.

207
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000
What time does that game start Paul?

208
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
7 o'clock.

209
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:50,000
7 o'clock, so we'll be on the air at 645 that evening.

210
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
The bird will make his debut for the year in relief.

211
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Here's the 2-2 pitch now coming up from Rosema.

212
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Campy takes strike.

213
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Oh, he stood there by the side of the road and watched that one go by.

214
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Struck him out.

215
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Two down, nobody on.

216
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Mike Hargrove will bat next.

217
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Left hand batting first backer.

218
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Hargrove hitting 310.

219
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Some pretty impressive batting averages here on this Texas lineup.

220
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Now those Cubs will have some impressive batting averages after today.

221
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
They scored 23 runs.

222
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Meet San Diego 23 to 6 at Wrigley Field with seven home runs to their credit.

223
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Now the Rose pitches and it's a swing and a fly ball to right.

224
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Here's Ogilvy coming in.

225
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000
He makes the catch on the run toward the diamond.

226
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Nothing across for Texas at the end of one, Detroit one, Texas nothing.

227
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Hi, I'm Ernie Harwell and I'm here with a couple of competitors in the Chrysler Plymouth Dealers Honorary Tiger Batboy Contest.

228
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Paul, how does this thing work?

229
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Well, any boy or girl between 8 and 14 can sign up in any participating Chrysler Plymouth dealer.

230
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
For a body they are accompanied by a licensed driver 18 or older.

231
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
That's right and there's no obligation for signing up.

232
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Then 22 Batboys will be picked on June the 2nd, right Katie?

233
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Right, 22 winners. One Philly Chrysler Plymouth dealer.

234
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
And everyone who signs up gets a free Tiger iron-on patch.

235
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Great, well that about does it.

236
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:41,000
So kids grab your parents and stop into any participating Chrysler Plymouth dealer between April 18th and May 27th and sign up for the Tiger Batboy Contest.

237
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Thank you Katie and Paul and this is...

238
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Oh, there's one more thing.

239
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Yes Katie?

240
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Wouldn't that be that person?

241
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Well anyway, see you're participating Greater Detroit Chrysler Plymouth dealer soon.

242
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Just so you'll know, WJR presents Town and Country, the first thing every morning at 5.

243
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:13,000
This is Jim Garrett inviting you to join Tom Campbell and me on Radio 76.

244
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Milt May coming up now. Milt's got a five game hitting streak on the line.

245
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Left hander batting catcher hitting 306.

246
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Today is his 99th time at bat this year.

247
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:34,000
One nothing, the Tigers scored in the first on a single by point is the Wachman and Kowski and a single by camp.

248
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Doyle Alexander, the tall right hander working on the mound for the Rangers this evening in the first of a two game series.

249
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Outfield straight away on May and he swings and caps one toward Campanaris.

250
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
He charges to his right, loves it, throw to first, the hard girl's got him.

251
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,000
So the leadoff man in each of the two innings for the Tigers has bounced his shorts up on the first pitch.

252
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Here's John Wachinfus coming up. John is used as the designated hitter tonight.

253
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
We told you Rusty Saab has an ailing side.

254
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Wachinfus batting 273, a couple of home runs and five runs battered in.

255
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:23,000
This is the second city on the Tigers 11 day, 11 game, four city trip.

256
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
That includes the exhibition at Cincinnati.

257
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:37,000
There's a strike called on Wachinfus. Milwaukee, Texas, Cincinnati and Chicago are the stops on this one.

258
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Tigers coming home on May the 24th to battle the Angels in a night game.

259
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Swing with a draft to left going back Washington. He's there, makes the catch.

260
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Two down, nobody on and Mark Wagner will be the Tiger batter, the number nine hitter with a batting mark of 140.

261
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Mark with one home run, he's knocked in three runs. This is his 19th game.

262
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:27,000
It's a shot to center field, a base hit from Mark. He lines one into center fielded by Vanikas and rifled back into Diamond.

263
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
That is the third Tiger hit off by Alexander. All three have been singles.

264
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:37,000
It's Ron LaFleur as they come around again. Ron bounced the shorts up his first time up.

265
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:56,000
LaFleur straight away on him. Alexander holds it at the belt. Now there's a low fastball to Ron, ball one.

266
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Harrah is a little deeper now at third. He's gone back a step or so, a little bit over near the line.

267
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Set and the pitch, he takes the ball in close. That was a fastball, two and oh, the count on LaFleur.

268
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Now the motion, the pitch on the way, it's in too close and low. Ball three on Ron.

269
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
One nothing to short of a Texas second inning. Now the set by Alexander, he delivers.

270
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Strike call right over the plate. Still daylight down here in Texas.

271
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Flip over to first base, he's back in time. Alexander ready again. The run goes.

272
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000
The ball is swung on, hit up the middle, there goes Pomp Wales over to grab it, throw it at first, he got him.

273
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
And the side retired. No runs, one hit, no errors and one man left.

274
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000
And at the end of one and one half innings, Tigers won, Rangers nothing.

275
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It's up to you to keep the rally going in the LaBatch Baseball Trivia Game.

276
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,000
See if he can get on base with this one. Who was the last American leaguer to win the Triple Crown?

277
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Take a little time and think it over and relax with a cool, refreshing LaBatch beer.

278
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,000
The answer, Carl Yastremski of the Boston Red Sox in 1967.

279
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Yaz hit.326 with 44 home runs and 121 RBIs.

280
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Great baseball calls for great beer. LaBatch. Call for LaBatch.

281
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Brewed in Canada since 1828. Distributed by LaBatch Importers Incorporated, Buffalo, New York.

282
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:26,000
LaBatch Blue is available in selected markets throughout Michigan.

283
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Well, here's a hand for Willie Horton, the former Tiger coming to bat.

284
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Willie has won himself a lot of new friends down here in Texas.

285
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Stepping in the face is former teammate Dave Rosema.

286
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Will Betting,.315. He takes a strike call. Rosema gave him a breaking ball.

287
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Horton has eight home runs and 17 RBIs.

288
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Outfield deep got up down the way. Here's the pitch to him.

289
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000
He swings and pops the foul. It'll be out of play, back of the plate.

290
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
That's the foul. It's the station identification. This is the Detroit Tiger baseball net bird.

291
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Look for partly cloudy weather tonight with some widely scattered showers, low temperature near 60.

292
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Wednesday and Thursday partly sunny and continued warm high in the upper 80s.

293
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Right now partly cloudy and 82. You're listening to WJR Detroit.

294
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Horton stepping back in now. Two strikes to count on him.

295
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Rosema gets his sign from Milton A. And goes into the motion. Delivers. Here's the ball outside.

296
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:48,000
John McGuire, big Tigers fan from Flint out here at the ball game, trying to root the Tigers in this evening.

297
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Sending special regards back to Pete Stark. Here's the pitch. It's a ball missed the inside corner.

298
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:08,000
And all of us with the Tigers would like to send a special birthday greeting to Mr. Lou Matlin, promotional director of the Tigers.

299
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Here's the motion and the 2-2 pitch. He swings on the bounding ball to third.

300
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Mankowski backed up deep. Has it long, Felted Thompson. Got him. One up and one away.

301
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Tom Greave, the Michigan product, coming up now.

302
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Well, it was the injury to Tom Greave that actually got Willie Horton in the lineup down here when he first came down.

303
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Tom had been the designated batter. He got on the disabled list.

304
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,000
So Casey told us that he had told Willie that he probably wouldn't be able to play very much.

305
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Now then, because of the injuries, Will got in there and did the job.

306
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Greave hitting 184. He takes a changeup over first strike.

307
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:01,000
As he's certainly doing the job, he leads the team in RBIs. He's hitting 318 for Texas.

308
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Tom runs in one game. There's a check swing, I believe, that Clark ruled out a ball. I'm not sure.

309
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Let's see. The scoreboard goes up with strike two.

310
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,000
The ball pops out of the mid of Milton A. And Mr. Clark will dust off the plate.

311
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Interestingly enough, Willie hit those homers on Sunday when he was playing left field.

312
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
The only time he played in the outfield for Texas.

313
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Then after three of them, they took him out.

314
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
He said apparently he has to come out.

315
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000
It's a slow curve outside. We'll make it a one-two count.

316
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Now apparently that's what happened, that other one with the strike.

317
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
One and two, the count on Greave.

318
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,000
One-nothing Tigers lead them in the second inning at Texas.

319
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Rose delivers, low and away. Two-two, the count on him now.

320
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Now Rose, we're going back up the mound to rub up that baseball a little bit.

321
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Apparently, Dave doesn't take much time between pitches.

322
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Now up on the hill to get his sign, go to work again, the two-two delivery.

323
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
It is a strike called, he struck him out.

324
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
That's the second strikeout recorded by Rosema.

325
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000
And both on call third strike.

326
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Toby Harrah coming to bat now.

327
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Overheating for number one.

328
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Toby, zero.

329
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Toby, not only spells his name the same way backwards and forwards,

330
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
you can work his numeral the same way, too.

331
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Number 11.

332
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Two out, nobody on.

333
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Harrah batting 282, slices one in the right center.

334
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,000
There goes LaFleur over.

335
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
He's got it, and they side out one, two, three.

336
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
He's the inning for Rosema.

337
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000
At the end of two, it's the Tigers one, Texas nothing.

338
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
WJR presents the news when you need it most.

339
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Every hour on Radio 76, Dave White, WJR News.

340
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
I'm Bill Nordstrom, WJR News.

341
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,000
I object basically to the bonding because it's the idea of spend now and pay later.

342
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Jim Martin, WJR News.

343
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Jennifer Moore, WJR News.

344
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:20,000
We need hard evidence that their position or the allegation regarding another interpretation of that bat is a need fact.

345
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Tom Campbell, WJR News.

346
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Rod Hanson, WJR News.

347
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000
I think that they're almost gone in this three years.

348
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
They're looking at ways to save energy.

349
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Mike Kenney, WJR News.

350
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Let the people vote November 78th.

351
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
If the people say yes, they're telling their legislators yes.

352
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
I'm Gene Fogel, WJR News.

353
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Jim Jones, WJR News, the state capitol.

354
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000
The news you need every hour on the hour from WJR, Radio 76.

355
00:29:51,000 --> 00:30:00,000
If you're looking for a reason to slow down and take a mid-morning break, I have several, including the crew from Studio B, Great Music, and much more.

356
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
I'm Jimmy Lantz.

357
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Join me at 10 on WJR.

358
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Tigers coming to bat now.

359
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
They've got one run, three hits.

360
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
The Rangers, no runs and two hits.

361
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,000
We've gone to two innings here in Texas.

362
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
And it'll be Tito for Witte, the lead off for the Tigers.

363
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
He scored the game's only run.

364
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:28,000
He singled in the first with one out, took the second on the walk, and came home on a single by Kemp.

365
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
So that's the early story in Texas.

366
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:38,000
And here's Tito standing in, batting left-handed.

367
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:43,000
He'll be followed by Mankowski and then Oglebay.

368
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Outfield to left on Witte.

369
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
He's bundled his way on the first time.

370
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:55,000
There's a strike called.

371
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Third baseman, Harrah, in close at third, about even with the base.

372
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,000
There's a ball in too close, one and one to count on for Witte.

373
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Still a breezy evening down in Texas.

374
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Now the motion of the pitch, swing and a pop-up near the plate.

375
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Sunberg out in front calling for it, has it?

376
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,000
About five feet in front of the plate.

377
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:35,000
The Witte's is out and Mankowski who walked the first time will be the batter.

378
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:42,000
He'll fouled off a couple of pitches before he earned that walk from Alexander.

379
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,000
His fine hitting has been rewarded by moving him up to number three,

380
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000
of course that's partly due to the fact the stop is out of action.

381
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
They've been timing the pitches here.

382
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Alexander 84 miles per hour, Rosema 82 miles per hour.

383
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
There's a ball.

384
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
They don't have any speed limit on those either.

385
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:10,000
That 55 miles per hour doesn't go.

386
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Here's the wind up and the pitch.

387
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
He swings and misses.

388
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
That was a bad pitch, one and one.

389
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000
I don't know where the man is.

390
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
He's doing the timing.

391
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Do you fault?

392
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Is it the upstairs or down the hall?

393
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
I think right.

394
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Yeah, I think it's just down to our right here.

395
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
On the same level we are, upstairs.

396
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,000
There's a fly ball lifted out of play to left field.

397
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Foul back in the seat.

398
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Young lady not looking, walking down the aisle, and that one almost got her.

399
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:47,000
One and two, the Kata Mankowski.

400
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Here it comes.

401
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,000
He swings to the bounding ball, deep first.

402
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Hargrove makes the play all by himself, and they are two Tigers out.

403
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Oglebay, who fanned his first trip, steps up now for time number two.

404
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Let's take a quick look at some of the scores now.

405
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Many of the games ahead of us.

406
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Colorado, Milwaukee, nothing, nothing at the end of one.

407
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Cleveland leads Minnesota 2-0 in the second.

408
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Oakland leads.

409
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Oh, and New York beat Oakland 5-2 in 16 innings this afternoon.

410
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
That takes care of the American League.

411
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Other games not underway.

412
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000
There's a swing, and I believe that Sunberg was hit by the bat.

413
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
He has gone down on his back.

414
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Luke Casey is coming out there, and the trainer, Dick Martin, has come out also,

415
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
and Sunberg seems to be hurt.

416
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
I think it was the back swing, Ernie.

417
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,000
In other words, Benji followed through with that vicious cut of his.

418
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
The bat just came all the way around and hit Sunberg on the head.

419
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:55,000
I really can't tell, but the way he reacted, that had to be touching the right side of his head.

420
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
It's the right temple of Sunberg now.

421
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Luke Casey down there, working at the helmet, it's a partial helmet,

422
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:14,000
has just kind of a little beanie-type helmet that the catchers use.

423
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
The trainer, Bill Ziegler, administering to him right now.

424
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
I think the team doctor has come out too.

425
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000
There's Dr. Makoski.

426
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
He's taking a look at Sunberg.

427
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Sunberg is conscious.

428
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:41,000
He is feeling himself, his temple, trying to point out exactly where he was hit.

429
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,000
So I don't know whether he lost consciousness or not, but he went down very, very quickly,

430
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
and is still on his back, right behind the plate.

431
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Now he's being helped up.

432
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
He's in a sitting position right now.

433
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:06,000
I would imagine that there are a lot of little planets and stars appearing before the eyes right now.

434
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Fine young catcher in Jim Sunberg.

435
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Well, we may get a new catcher here too.

436
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
I saw Luke Casey signal over toward the bullpen.

437
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Bill Fahey is the normal replacement for Sunberg.

438
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
He's still sitting propped behind the plate.

439
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
I don't think they want to bring him up too quickly here.

440
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:39,000
They may call for a stretcher, someone that's racing around on the dugout.

441
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:49,000
The only thing I can explain is because, of course, we don't have the advantage of a reprise of instant replay,

442
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:58,000
that it appears that the backswing of Benji's swing hit Sunberg on the right temple with a bat.

443
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Now he's being carried off now.

444
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Luke Casey and trainer Bill Ziegler helping him off along with a team position,

445
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:11,000
and we're waiting for another catcher to make his appearance here.

446
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,000
In the meantime, Doyle Alexander continues to loosen up out of the mound.

447
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
He's taking care of the first two Tigers here in the third inning.

448
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Although they have the plate, Benji over by the on-deck circle now.

449
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:30,000
He has a one-strike count on him, and it will be Fahey coming in to replace Sunberg.

450
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000
They'll give him a couple of warm-up catches and perhaps a throw.

451
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Yeah, he's going to throw down the first base just to loosen up a little bit.

452
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Bill has been down on the bullpen for the Rangers, so he's coming in to replace Sunberg here in the third inning with two outs and nobody on board.

453
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Ernie?

454
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I was talking to Bill before the ballgame.

455
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
He's a young man from Detroit.

456
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
He wanted to send greetings back to his folks.

457
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:04,000
He's in the ballgame now, replacing the injured Jim Sunberg.

458
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:10,000
As soon as we get some kind of a report on Sunberg, we'll pass it right along to him.

459
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Although they have the plate, the counties strike one on Benji.

460
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:20,000
They are two out of the third. The Tigers lead Texas one to nothing.

461
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Doyle Alexander, the right-hander, ready to go to work for the Rangers again.

462
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:32,000
And he delivers. Benji takes the ball outside.

463
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Outfield deep, a little bit to right on him, not much, and field back.

464
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Waiting on a 1-1 delivery. Here it comes. He swings and misses. That was a change-up.

465
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:51,000
1-2, the count of Oglebay.

466
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Next batter will be Steve Kemp, who knocked in the game's only run.

467
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Ben takes a high, hard one.

468
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Two balls and two strikes, two outs.

469
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Tigers lead one to nothing in the third inning in Texas.

470
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Alexander checks his time with the catcher, Fahey, and delivers.

471
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,000
There's a cut on the miss. He struck him out.

472
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000
The Tigers go down 1-2-3 in their third inning.

473
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:23,000
We go to the last half. The third is Detroit, one and Texas nothing.

474
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:29,000
And Bob McDaniel goes to work at a catcracker at the Marathon to find me in Robinson, Illinois.

475
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,000
He doesn't work alone. He gets together with Eldon Keefe, Mason, and Berner Ferguson.

476
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,000
And together they go about the business of turning heavy oils into gasoline and fuel.

477
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Bob McDaniel could work alone.

478
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,000
The job wouldn't get done as well for at all without the help of Eldon, Keefe, and Berner.

479
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Because each of them brings something special to the job.

480
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
They get together to do it better.

481
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
A company is like its people, because it is people.

482
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000
When Marathon found oil, our oil people got together with some pipeline people,

483
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000
we got together with some refining people, we got together with some service station people,

484
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
so we can do it better.

485
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,000
We got together to do it better.

486
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:20,000
We are Marathon.

487
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Marathon Oil Company, we got together to do it better.

488
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Well, Mr. Rosner ready to go to work.

489
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
And the third against Texas, he's cut down the first six range of batters in the opening two meetings.

490
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:49,000
It'll be Bob Wells, the switch batter to lead off against him, Bob playing second base.

491
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
He's batting 282.

492
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:11,000
He'll be batting left-handed against Rosmer.

493
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:24,000
He pitches in close, ball on.

494
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,000
There's a strike call.

495
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
He ran up as if to bunt.

496
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:38,000
One-and-one they count on him.

497
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000
So second and road home on a double by Washington.

498
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Now Bert Campanaris, in the foot take, called third, strike his first,

499
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:56,000
steps in again.

500
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,000
I feel not deep there straight away on Campy.

501
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Washington coming off the back, pretty good-sized lead for Claudel.

502
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:14,000
And Campanaris takes a curve very wide, low and away.

503
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:22,000
One-one, the game tied down to third.

504
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Hargrove waits on deck.

505
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Here's Rosner's deck delivery to Campanaris.

506
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:42,000
He takes the ball low, over the play from low.

507
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Just about dark now down here in Texas, 8.27 Texas time.

508
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Rosmer's ready, delivers.

509
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Chopper hits foul on the ground over toward the box seat.

510
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
One run free, it's no errors for Detroit.

511
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
The Rangers have one run, one hit, and no errors.

512
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
We're in the third inning at Arlington Stadium.

513
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,000
This is the first of a two-game set down here.

514
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Tomorrow night we'll see John Hiller make a start against Gaylord Perry.

515
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Now the step by Rosmer, the 2-1 pitch all the way, run to go,

516
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
sit there, throw by May, is quiet in the upfield,

517
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,000
and another run will score.

518
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Washington comes home.

519
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
May threw the ball wide past Mankowski.

520
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,000
And the run scores to make it 2-1.

521
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,000
It'll be a stolen base and then an error charged to Milt May.

522
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Washington feels third and comes home on the error

523
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000
by the catcher Milt May who overthrew Mankowski at third.

524
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And Texas is gone in front in a hurry, 2-1 in the third inning.

525
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Three balls and one strike on Caponari.

526
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,000
He bumps and bows the ball back at a plate.

527
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
An unusual maneuver, bunting with a 3-1 count.

528
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Mankowski's still deep over there at third.

529
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Rosmer checks his sign, full count delivery.

530
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Swung on a bounding ball to third.

531
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Good stop by Mankowski.

532
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Throw to Thompson, got him, and the side retires.

533
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,000
But there's been ranger damage.

534
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,000
They picked up a couple two runs on one hit,

535
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,000
a walk, a stolen base, and an error, and nobody left on the bases.

536
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,000
At the end of three, Rangers 2, the Tigers 1.

537
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000
We interrupt this program with an emergency action notification

538
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,000
system broadcast because of threatening weather conditions.

539
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,000
This is an emergency action notification.

540
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect until 10-15 tonight

541
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000
for persons in Wayne and Oakland counties.

542
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,000
An area of severe thunderstorms was indicated by radar

543
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000
in eastern Livingston and eastern Washtenaw counties

544
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
and is moving toward the east at 30 miles per hour.

545
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:14,000
A funnel cloud was reported northeast of Saline at 8-45 tonight.

546
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Be prepared to move to a place of safety if threatening conditions are cited.

547
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Repeating, a severe thunderstorm warning is in effect until 10-15 tonight

548
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,000
for persons in Wayne and Oakland counties.

549
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,000
An area of severe thunderstorms was indicated by radar

550
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
in eastern Livingston and eastern Washtenaw counties

551
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,000
and is moving toward the east at 30 miles per hour.

552
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
This station has interrupted its regular programming

553
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,000
for an emergency action notification system broadcast.

554
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
We now rejoin the program in progress.

555
00:44:47,000 --> 00:45:00,000
TIGERS SCORED FIRST IN THIS GAME.

556
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
THEY GOT A RUN ON A SINGLE BY KEMP OF THE FIRST ENDING,

557
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
BUT THE RANGERS WERE TWO OUT AND NOBODY ON.

558
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
CAME BACK ON THE THIRD.

559
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
WALKED TO BANICUS, HE STOLE SECOND.

560
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,000
CAME HOME ON A DOUBLE BY WASHINGTON.

561
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
WASHINGTON STOLE THIRD AND WENT HOME

562
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000
WHEN MAY THREW THE BALL IN THE OUTFIELD.

563
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
SO IT'S TWO TO ONE RANGERS.

564
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,000
LET'S GO TO THE FOURTH NOW AND TUNE IN ON PAUL CARRING.

565
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000
All right, Ernie, thank you very much.

566
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Steve Kemp to lead it off for the Tigers

567
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
here on the fourth inning against Doyle Alexander.

568
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Kemp drove in the Tiger run in the first inning with a single.

569
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,000
He butt foul behind the plate.

570
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Steve trying to catch Harrah sitting a little deep there

571
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,000
back at third base.

572
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Harrah at third, Kemp and Harris at second.

573
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,000
At short rather, Wills at second and Hargrove at first.

574
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
For the Rangers, in left field,

575
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Claudell Washington at the Banicus in center

576
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
and Grieve in right.

577
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Bill Fahey replacing the injured Jim Sundberg

578
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
working behind the plate.

579
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Doyle Alexander on the mound.

580
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
He's struck out two, walked one.

581
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
The pitch to Kemp swung on, a bounce at a third.

582
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Harrah picks up the skimmer, throws to first and got him.

583
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:10,000
One up and one away in the Tigers' fourth inning.

584
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000
That'll bring up Jason Thompson.

585
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Jason ended the first inning by grounding out the Wills at second.

586
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Let's pause now for station identification.

587
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
This is the Detroit Tiger Baseball Network.

588
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,000
The weather for Greater Detroit partly cloudy tonight.

589
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Some widely scattered showers, low near 60.

590
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Tomorrow and Thursday, partly sunny, continued warm, high upper 80s.

591
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,000
At 931, it's cloudy and 77.

592
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
This is WJR Detroit.

593
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Thompson bounced one over the mound

594
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
that could not be handled by Alexander.

595
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000
And at shortstop, Campanaris came in, made a dive,

596
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Ford picked it up and then fell as he tried to throw the first base.

597
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000
And Thompson is awarded an infield single.

598
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:58,000
So Jason reaches first with one down here in the Tiger fourth inning.

599
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Here's Milt May.

600
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
The Tigers now have four hits.

601
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
They've all been singles.

602
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:07,000
One an infield single, the other a bump single of the four hits.

603
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Milt grounded out the short his first time up.

604
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Got a five-game hit streak going.

605
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Thompson at first with a short lead.

606
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Infield and outfield both about straight up on the left-hand hitting May.

607
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
It's outside and low, ball one.

608
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Alexander with four wins and one defeat so far this season.

609
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:36,000
In his first year as a Texas Ranger.

610
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Into the stretch.

611
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
The pitch to the plate Thompson goes.

612
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000
It's bounced to the right side.

613
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Milt has only one play.

614
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,000
That's at first.

615
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,000
So May gets the ball to the right side as they sent Thompson.

616
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000
And Jason has moved into scoring position at second base.

617
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
But there are two out now and it's up to the Tigers designated batter for the night.

618
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
John Wachenfuss.

619
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Rusty Stomp out of action missing his first game of the season.

620
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:05,000
He had played in every one of the Tiger games, this being game number 33.

621
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Rusty had been the DH in the first 32 games.

622
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Wachenfuss batting now as the DH in the number eight spot in the batting order.

623
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Stomp with an injured side setting this one up.

624
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Thompson at second two down.

625
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,000
The pitch from Alexander.

626
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,000
It's in the dirt.

627
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Today he blocks it, keeps it in front of him.

628
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:46,000
John lined out to Washington and left his first time up.

629
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Last two games in which he's appeared, Wachenfuss has gone two for four.

630
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Here's the set.

631
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:03,000
And the pitch to Johnny B. He takes the strike on the outside corner.

632
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Very stiff wind blowing in from center field here tonight.

633
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Always the wind in Texas.

634
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Now Alexander looks back at second.

635
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
The pitch to the plate.

636
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Check swing but it's a strike on Wachenfuss.

637
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Tigers got a run in the first inning on Kemp single to right.

638
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:35,000
What is it reached with a one-off front single moved to second when Mankowski walked.

639
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,000
And then Kemp singled with two-offs to get the Tiger run home.

640
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
The Rangers picking up two runs in the third inning to take their two-to-one lead.

641
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,000
The pitch to Wachenfuss is in the dirt.

642
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
All two strike two.

643
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Throughout the walk to Benekus he stole second and scored on the double into the right field corner by Claudel Washington.

644
00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Washington then stole third and continued on in when May's throw went over the glove of Mankowski into left field for an error.

645
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Two balls, two strikes on Wachenfuss, two down.

646
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,000
A man in second.

647
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
The look at Thompson.

648
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,000
And the pitch to Futs.

649
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,000
He swings and pops a foul down the right field line back in the Z.

650
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Stop getting around on that pitch from Alexander.

651
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,000
A reminder we'll be broadcasting the exhibition game from Cincinnati on Thursday evening.

652
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
It's an early starter, the Sandlot Benefit exhibition game.

653
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:48,000
It gets underway at 7 o'clock and there will be a pregame program, the award-winning Ernie Harwell pregame show will be heard at 6.45.

654
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Here's the set, the pitch to Wachenfuss.

655
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Jack swinging it, blowing away.

656
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Full count on John.

657
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
He was tempted but he held off.

658
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Tigers actually just making a quick stop in Cincinnati to play that exhibition contest, it's a little detour on their flight from Dallas to Chicago for a weekend series with the White Sox.

659
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Here's the three-two pitch to Wachenfuss.

660
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,000
He swings and misses, stuck him out.

661
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,000
That ends the Tigers thread on the fourth inning, no runs, one hit, no errors and one man left.

662
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Here come the Rangers to bat in their half of the fourth.

663
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Texas 2, Detroit 1.

664
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
They're batting in the cleanup spot in the LeBats baseball trivia game.

665
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,000
And here's the pitch.

666
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Name the pitcher who hurled a perfect game for 12 innings but lost the game 1-0 in the 13th.

667
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Take a break and think about it over a cool LeBats beer.

668
00:51:50,000 --> 00:52:00,000
It was Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

669
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:08,000
The heartbreaking loss came on an error, a sacrifice, and Joe Adcock's double as the Braves sunk the Buccos.

670
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Great baseball calls for great beer.

671
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
LeBats.

672
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Call for LeBats.

673
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Brewed in Canada since 1828.

674
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Distributed by LeBat Importers, Inc., Buffalo, New York.

675
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:38,000
The Bats Blue is available in selected markets throughout Michigan.

676
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Dave Rosemont on the mob to face the Texas Rangers here in the bottom of the fourth inning.

677
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
It'll be Mike Hargrove deleted off.

678
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Mike lined out to Ogilvy, his first time up.

679
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Good hitter.

680
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:56,000
He's again hitting above the 300 mark this year.

681
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Hargrove.

682
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000
That's a moment hitting 307 as he steps in.

683
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:11,000
He'll be followed by Horton and Grieve.

684
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:18,000
The top field actually shaped him a little to left while the infield plays into the right side.

685
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Rosemont struck out three, walked one.

686
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,000
That walk hurt him with two out on a third inning and set up a two-run burst by the Rangers.

687
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:35,000
First pitch is low for ball one.

688
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:44,000
A 20-year-old right-hander into the motion that fits through Hargrove. It jams him inside ball two.

689
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Two home runs, 12 RBIs this season for Mike.

690
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,000
American Lakes Rookie of the Year in 1974.

691
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Rosemont delivers a called strike.

692
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
John Hiller to get his first start of the season.

693
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Tomorrow night against the veteran Gaylord Perry who's seeking to become the third pitcher in the history of baseball to win 100 games in each league.

694
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
He's one away.

695
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,000
The pitch is long on a bouncer to the right side.

696
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Thompson charges as the big hop makes the play unassisted at first base.

697
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Hargrove is retired, bouncing out to first.

698
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:35,000
That'll bring up Willie Horton and again met by a round of cheers here at Arlington Stadium.

699
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:44,000
In his first trip tonight, Horton bounced out to Mankowski of third.

700
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Willie the Wonder.

701
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:52,000
Rosemont delivers. There's a pop-up towards third. Mankowski is calling for it.

702
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
Now he's drifting into fourth territory.

703
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Makes the catch.

704
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Horton, you're in the first.

705
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Now Mankowski to knock.

706
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Well the base is empty.

707
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Number four batter will be Tom Greave.

708
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Interestingly enough, talking with young Dave Rosemont out of spring training when he was a non-rooster, Richard,

709
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:18,000
he recalls the days he used to come down to Detroit and reached Willie to have the lead.

710
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Tom and Norman, an action of the man of the second place, his favorite was Willie Horton.

711
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,000
The pitch outside for a ball.

712
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Greave struck out taking a charge third strike in the second inning.

713
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:41,000
The former has not really had a bad ball game yet. And this is rookie year.

714
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
One on the clock for the third.

715
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,000
Hard copy. Mankowski's got it over to Thompson.

716
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Greave is up and the Rangers for the third time in four innings go down one, two, three.

717
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,000
After four innings of play, it's Texas two, Detroit one.

718
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Here's a WJR news update.

719
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:03,000
President Carter says he's going to submit national health care legislation to Congress next year.

720
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:09,000
At the UAW convention in Los Angeles, he is committed to a workable national health insurance program.

721
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Vice President Walter Mondale is under heavy guard in Madrid, Spain, following a bomb explosion at a U.S. center earlier today.

722
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Mondale had conferred with Spain's King Juan Carlos and praised the progress Spain is making toward democracy.

723
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:29,000
The Michigan House narrowly amended a budget bill to take state police patrols off freeways in Detroit and the rest of Wayne County.

724
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000
The measure faces strong opposition in the Senate.

725
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,000
The U.S. Commerce Committee today approved a measure to raise the legal drinking age in the state to 19.

726
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:43,000
The Michigan Court of Appeals has upheld the constitutionality of the state's controversial single business tax.

727
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Wayne State University law professor John Mink formally announced as a candidate for mayor of Detroit.

728
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
The Detroit temperature, 80 degrees.

729
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,000
I'm Gene Fogel.

730
00:56:54,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Whether you're coming or going, WJR, Detroit's good sport, has the information you need with J.P. McCarthy mornings and Mark Avery afternoons.

731
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Keep score with Radio 76.

732
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Here come the Tigers to bat on the fifth running.

733
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Tigers have four hits.

734
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,000
The Rangers have only one hit off Dave Rosemont, but the Rangers lead it two to one.

735
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Tigers four hits scattered a bit. They managed to get two hits in a walk in the first inning.

736
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Off-doyle Alexander and that accounted for their one run, the RBI single by Steve Kemp.

737
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Here's Mark Wagner, who's singled with two down in the second inning.

738
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:39,000
He takes a ball outside, ball one on Park.

739
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,000
LaFleur and Fuentes will follow here in the Tiger fifth inning.

740
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:51,000
The right-hander Alexander kicks the Tigers on the corner for a strike.

741
00:57:55,000 --> 00:58:00,000
The Rangers acquired Alexander as a pre-agent in November of last year.

742
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Dodgers head has the side. The one-one picked Wagner outside for a ball.

743
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Working with both Baltimore and New York last year, Alexander won 13 and lost nine.

744
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000
He picked two shutouts against the Tigers.

745
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
His windup and the two-one pick.

746
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Ground ball to first.

747
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Dodger has it, will make the play unassisted.

748
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Wagner is retired, he'll make the opening out number one.

749
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
That will bring up round the floor.

750
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Hitler's in two-trips against Dodger, against Alexander.

751
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:43,000
He's bounced off the short end of second.

752
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Alexander picks three, weight one to 95, looking in, getting the sign from Bill Fahey.

753
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Takes the shoulders a little bit, now winds and delivers.

754
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Strike called on line.

755
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Alexander stands three on route three.

756
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Now the pitch, it's low.

757
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Ground on the strike on the floor.

758
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Now since this franchise moved from Washington, the Rangers have had great success against the Tigers.

759
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Alexander whirls and delivers a bounce-your-bow on the left side.

760
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:36,000
That's the Tigers, the only team in the Eastern Division of the league that the Rangers have a winning record against.

761
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:46,000
They met once before this season, and that's the game that the Tigers fans and the Tigers themselves would like to forget.

762
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,000
13 to zip, Texas.

763
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,000
One-two count on the floor, went out, nobody on.

764
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,000
High, ball two.

765
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:02,000
The Rangers lead two to one here in the top of the fifth inning.

766
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Now they two-two pitch, ball three outside.

767
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Well, those cubbies have really been hot in Chicago.

768
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:23,000
They're surprising everybody, and what a day they had today against the San Diego Padres.

769
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Twenty-three runs, twenty-four hits, winning a game 23 to 6.

770
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,000
A pitch to the floor.

771
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:39,000
He swings late and fouls that one off the handle back into the seat.

772
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,000
He has barely got a piece of that one.

773
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Ron is up front of the plate, really, and punches that ball right through.

774
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,000
He's usually coming around a bit late, looks at the ball a lot longer than most.

775
01:00:52,000 --> 01:01:02,000
The pitch to him, swung on, and punched foul to the right side again, back up into the seat.

776
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,000
The floor hitting 239 at the moment.

777
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Ron not off to the good start that he had last year.

778
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,000
As a result, his stolen base total is considerably down this season.

779
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
He just simply hasn't been on base as much.

780
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Here's the three-two pitch to him.

781
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Ground ball to second.

782
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Wills has the middle hop, with throw to first, gets the floor two down in the Tiger fifth inning.

783
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Here's Tito Palentiz.

784
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Tito laid down one of those nifty punts of his.

785
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:43,000
With a left-hand batter, he has shown good bat control.

786
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Just pokes it past the charging third baseman until they hold it short,

787
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,000
and he has picked up several front hits that way this season.

788
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000
One for two tonight for Tito.

789
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Bases empty, two down, top of the fifth inning.

790
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
The pitch from Doyle Alexander.

791
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,000
It is in the dirt for ball one.

792
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Alexander, now 26 years old.

793
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
He's been around though.

794
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Originally in the Dodger system.

795
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:16,000
The pitch to Palentiz.

796
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,000
Long Adam, off to third.

797
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,000
A high hopper for Herra.

798
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Across the diamond is plenty of time to get Palentiz.

799
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000
The Tigers go down one, two, three on the top of the fifth inning.

800
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,000
And here come the Rangers to bat.

801
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,000
They lead it, Texas two, Detroit one.

802
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,000
You, it's Norman, the Detroit News Boy.

803
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Anybody home?

804
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Out here.

805
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,000
I'm cleaning the garage.

806
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Oh, hi Mr. Bowlby.

807
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,000
I see you're cleaning the garage.

808
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Norman, you got a mind like a...

809
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Steel trap?

810
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Lint trap.

811
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,000
Yes sir.

812
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Anyway, I've got a swell idea on how to get rid of all this stuff in the garage.

813
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Oh yeah?

814
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Detroit News real cheap classified.

815
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Uh huh.

816
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,000
And what might those be?

817
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Well, they're Wodads and they're real cheap.

818
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Yes sir.

819
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
There's a $20 plan that gives you two lines for 14 days for the price of only five days.

820
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Well gee, that's real cheap.

821
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Yes sir.

822
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,000
We've also got a $15 plan and a $10 one too.

823
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Each of which also represents significant savings.

824
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Well hey kid, thanks for the tip.

825
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Uh excuse me Mr. Bowlby, but you aren't throwing out that neat gorilla suit are you?

826
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,000
Well that thing?

827
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Yeah.

828
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Gee, I've always wanted a...

829
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Do you suppose I could try it on?

830
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Right ahead.

831
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,000
Gee, thank you Mr. Bowlby.

832
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,000
Uh oh, it's stuck.

833
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Well, I guess you'll have to wear it.

834
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Well, I'll say to my customers...

835
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Just tell them your duck suit's in the cleaners.

836
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,000
My duck suit?

837
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Yeah, very well.

It's a way to sell almost anything for next to nothing.

841
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:45,000
It's the last of the fifth inning here at windblown Arlington Stadium in Texas.

842
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Located about halfway between Fort Worth and Dallas.

843
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:55,000
On the Fort Worth Dallas turnpike that makes sense.

844
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Arlington is basically a community of industrial warehouses and buildings and homes.

845
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Downtown Arlington doesn't really exist.

846
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Ready to go on the bottom of the fifth inning, Toby Herra leading it off and he takes the strike.

847
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Dave Rosemont is pitched very well, but he made one slip in the third inning when he walked Juan Beníquez.

848
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:30,000
And that hearted him as he stole second, scored on the double by Washington, who later stole third and came home on the air by May.

849
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Bouncer off the end of the bat to first.

850
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:36,000
Thompson near the bag, feels it, and touches the bag to retire Herra.

851
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Easy play for Thompson as Toby just hit that one off the edge of the bat.

852
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:52,000
That'll bring up Bump Wills, a switch hitter batting left-handed against Rosemont, son of Maury.

853
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Wills hitting 258 left-handed, 324 right-handed.

854
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Batting average of 279 overall, he lined up to the floor his first time up.

855
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,000
The wind up by Rosemont, the pitch to him is taken for a strike.

856
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Mankowski is coming in very tight at third base.

857
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
He's suspecting perhaps Wills could lay something down.

858
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:20,000
He doesn't have the blazing speed his dad has, but strike two called.

859
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:31,000
But he can run, he's already picked up five steals this year.

860
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,000
A wind up by Rosemont, one up, nobody on.

861
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,000
Outside for a ball, one and two.

862
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Rangers wearing an extra dark stripe on their left sleeve in memory of their teammate Danny Thompson who passed away during the offseason.

863
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Low in the dirt for a ball, two and two to Wills.

864
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,000
One out, base is empty.

865
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Here in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Rangers have a two-to-one edge over the Tigers, although they have just one hit off Rosemont.

866
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,000
It's a ball outside.

867
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,000
He had him two strikes and now has missed with three straight.

868
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:20,000
It's a full count now on Wills.

869
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,000
The pitch from Rosemont, flung out and popped foul.

870
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Look at some of those National League scores.

871
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Four games going now.

872
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,000
The Dodgers lead the Phillies four to three after sixth inning.

873
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Atlanta up on Montreal three to nothing after four.

874
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati scoreless in the sixth inning.

875
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:45,000
And after four innings, it's the Mets and the Giants, no score.

876
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:54,000
And here at Arlington, Texas, two to one, the Rangers lead the Tigers.

877
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Rosemont looking in, getting his sign again from May.

878
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,000
The motion's a three-two pitch.

879
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Ground ball up the middle, into center field, a base hit.

880
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Out of the reach to Pallantes, Wills takes a big turn.

881
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:13,000
Just to the left of Rosemont and snuck by Pallantes out into right-center field.

882
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Wills has only the second hit of the game off Rosemont.

883
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:21,000
It comes with one down here in the fifth inning.

884
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Catcher Bill Fahey.

885
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Here's Bill Fahey, who had to be inserted into the lineup when Jim Sundberg was injured by a bat,

886
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,000
swing of the bat by Ben Ogilvy in the third inning.

887
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,000
Fahey one time up against Rosemont, struck out swinging.

888
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Here's the set.

889
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Wills goes.

890
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:42,000
It's a pitch out.

891
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,000
The bat's thrown at it.

892
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,000
The throw to second.

893
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:45,000
He is out at second base.

894
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,000
The Tigers cut him down.

895
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
Good throw by Milt May, who had made two four-throws earlier.

896
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,000
And this time they cut down Bump Wills.

897
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,000
He's been crossed for the fourth time this year.

898
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,000
So there are two down.

899
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Fahey tried to help Wills.

900
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:06,000
He threw the bat at the ball and missed it.

901
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:17,000
One strike out, bare motor, the base is empty and two down.

902
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Putt out was made by Mark Wagner on the steal attempt at second as they foul into the dirt of the plate.

903
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Rosemont in to get a new baseball and certainly didn't like the finish when he got from Alan Clark.

904
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Had a word with Al.

905
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Jerry Newdekner working at first tonight.

906
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Our front's at second and Nick Remagen at third.

907
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:53,000
The class second baseman of another generation, just the last generation, Connie Ryan.

908
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Coaching down at third for the Rangers.

909
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Brett Koenig at first.

910
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,000
The pitch to the plate.

911
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Swung on and bounced foul over toward the Ranger dugout.

912
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:14,000
This is apparently grand prairie night here at Arlington Stadium.

913
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,000
The wind ups the pitch.

914
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Fahey takes outside.

915
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:26,000
A ball and two strikes on Bill.

916
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:31,000
From Redford Union High School, Bill Fahey, he swings, bounces one to Thompson.

917
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Thompson races to the bag and makes the play unassisted at first and retires the Rangers in the fifth inning.

918
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,000
No runs, a hit, no errors, nobody left after five.

919
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,000
It's Texas 2, Detroit 1.

920
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,000
We're America Shops.

921
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:52,000
And by the Detroit News, offering you the Detroit News Real Cheap Classified.

922
01:09:52,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Now, more Tiger baseball action with Ernie Harwell and Sal Carey.

923
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Here's Phil Mankowski to lead off the sixth inning for the Tigers who trail the Rangers 2-1.

924
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Phil is a walk in the bounce out tonight.

925
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,000
The first pitch from the right-hander Alexander, swung on and hit high on the air to right field.

926
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Grieve is under it, waiting.

927
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,000
And Tom puts it away.

928
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Mankowski at the towering fly ball to short right for out number one.

929
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,000
That'll bring up Odlevey.

930
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Benji is playing to fight a very bad bruise on the upper right arm.

931
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Benji went with traveling secretary, Ben Desmond, to the hospital in Milwaukee after being hit by that thrown pitch

932
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,000
on the sixth inning of the night cap Sunday afternoon.

933
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:52,000
X-rays were negative, but his arm was extremely sore.

934
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,000
And still it is.

935
01:10:53,000 --> 01:11:02,000
Strike called on Benji.

936
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,000
He couldn't even lift the right arm to eat after the game.

937
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,000
He was back on the Tiger locker room.

938
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,000
The Tigers cleared up ready to go here.

939
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Strike two called on Odlevey.

940
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:22,000
That's a good thinking fastball low and inside to Odlevey.

941
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,000
One out, nobody on top of the sixth inning.

942
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Alexander has been tough.

943
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Here's the pitch to Odlevey.

944
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Just outside, he didn't miss by much.

945
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Tigers with four singles by Bledis, Kemp, Wagner, and Thompson.

946
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,000
Now they one-two pitch to Odlevey.

947
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Swung on and missed.

948
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,000
That one up around the middle of the helmet.

949
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:57,000
And he has gone down on strikes three times.

950
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Alexander with his fourth strikeout.

951
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:11,000
That'll bring up Kemp now with two down and nobody aboard.

952
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:16,000
Odlevey members of the Texas press talking with Steve Foucault before the ballgame.

953
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:23,000
Their first opportunity to talk with Steve since he was traded away to the Tigers for Willie Horton.

954
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,000
There's a pitch to Kemp.

955
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,000
He swings.

956
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,000
There's a base hit in the right center field beyond Wills.

957
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,000
So Kemp is two for three tonight, has two of the Tiger hits, takes a big turn,

958
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:38,000
and the ball is finally fed back into Wills.

959
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:43,000
Five singles for the Tigers now with a two-out single here in the sixth by Kemp.

960
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:50,000
That'll bring up Jason Thompson.

961
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,000
The wind seems to have changed direction a little bit now.

962
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Checking the pennants, the flags out on the center field flagpole.

963
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Blowing a little in from right center.

964
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:04,000
As Ernie pointed out earlier, they traditionally,

965
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:09,000
there's a wind that blows in from right field here at Arlington Stadium.

966
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Set by Alexander, the pitch to Thompson, it's blown away, ball one.

967
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
But it's a swirling wind, too.

968
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,000
There's always a wind here.

969
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,000
But it blows in toward the plate, generally speaking,

970
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:27,000
and has made it park with its uniform fence anyway at tough home run park.

971
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:33,000
Jeff Burroughs noting he was happy to move to Atlanta from that, in that regard.

972
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:37,000
He moved to first, but Kemp gets backhand first.

973
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:44,000
And Burroughs tonight in another home run for Atlanta, his ninth of the year for the Plays.

974
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
Here's the set now by Alexander, the pitch to the plate.

975
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Swung on, a drive to center field.

976
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,000
On the run is Benekis still going.

977
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,000
He makes the catch and races against the wall.

978
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:57,000
A long drive to deep right center field by Jason Thompson.

979
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,000
Hauled in by Juan Benekis, the center fielder, retired the Tigers.

980
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, and one left.

981
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:10,000
After five and a half innings, it's the Rangers, too, and the Tigers, one.

982
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Getting oil out of the ground is one thing.

983
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Turning it into something people can use is another.

984
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,000
It takes a lot of people with different skills and different talents to get that job done.

985
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:28,000
We got people together, we thought to do it better, and we called the company Marathon.

986
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:36,000
From the driller in Alaska, to the route about in Chester,

987
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:44,000
from the driver in Atlanta, to the welder in Wyoming.

988
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,000
When we found oil, we could have left the rest of the jobs to somebody else.

989
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,000
But we had this idea that we could do it better.

990
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:55,000
So we got people together who thought the same way we did.

991
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,000
We got together to do it better.

992
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:06,000
We're Marathon.

993
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:11,000
Marathon Oil Company, we got together to do it better.

994
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Now before the Rangers come to bat on the bottom of the sixth inning,

995
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,000
we'll pause for station identification.

996
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,000
This is the Detroit Tiger Baseball Network.

997
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:30,000
At a minute past ten, here's late word from the National Weather Service in Detroit.

998
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:36,000
An area of severe thunderstorms extends from near La Peer, about 20 miles north of Pontiac,

999
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:40,000
to near Metro Airport, and it's moving eastward about 35 miles per hour.

1000
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,000
Strong gusty winds to near 60 miles per hour.

1001
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Heavy rain and hail will likely accompany these thunderstorms.

1002
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,000
No report of damage has been received.

1003
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:56,000
The severe thunderstorm warning is in effect until 10-15 for Wayne and Oakland counties.

1004
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
This is WJR Detroit.

1005
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Play on Thompson, with the Tigers having a man on with two down on the top of this sixth inning,

1006
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,000
falling in the long drive near the wall in right center field.

1007
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Lo and away with a fastball by Rosemontball one.

1008
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Beninkus walked and scored the Rangers' first run of that third inning.

1009
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:20,000
He was second and came home on the double by Claudel Washington.

1010
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Now the pitch, flung on and missed.

1011
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:31,000
One ball, one strike.

1012
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Dave has pitched very well.

1013
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Got himself in difficulty in the third inning.

1014
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,000
The fastball inside as Beninkus buckles out of the way.

1015
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,000
It's two balls and a strike on one.

1016
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Followed by Washington and Campaneras here in the Rangers' sixth inning.

1017
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:58,000
Beninkus.

1018
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Beninkus in a closed stance.

1019
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:04,000
The pitch from the right hander, flung on, base hit the right field between first and second.

1020
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:11,000
Beninkus picks up hit number three for the Rangers.

1021
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:21,000
That brings up Claudel Washington, who doubled home Beninkus in the third inning for the first Ranger run.

1022
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Washington then coming on into score, he stole third and came on in on the overthrow, the throwing error by Milt Mays.

1023
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Burn rule is loosening in the Tiger bullpen right now.

1024
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Washington a left hand batter, hitting three-thirties and fine season thus far.

1025
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
Beninkus has speed.

1026
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Good lead at first, a pitch to the plate.

1027
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:55,000
It's taken for a ball, a little high to Claudel.

1028
01:17:55,000 --> 01:18:02,000
The Rangers traded away Jim Umbarger to get Washington and Umbarger is now in the minor league.

1029
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Oakland moving him down in the recent move.

1030
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:14,000
First Beninkus gets back.

1031
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:18,000
The opener of a two-game set here at Arlington Stadium.

1032
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:22,000
The Rangers with a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, a man at first, nobody else.

1033
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,000
The pitch from Rosemont.

1034
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Washington hits a high hopper to first.

1035
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,000
Thompson has it.

1036
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,000
Can't get the ball out of the glove.

1037
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,000
Throw to first, got him at first base.

1038
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Jason looked at second, had a play of second, but had trouble getting the ball out of the glove.

1039
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Ben realized he better get something out of it.

1040
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,000
Went to the first, Rosemont covering for the putout on Washington.

1041
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,000
But the Rangers now a man in scoring position.

1042
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Beninkus down at second base.

1043
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:57,000
The play goes four to one, a putout of Washington, one down, a man at second, and Campi Campanari will be the batter.

1044
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:03,000
Campi is struck out and bounced out the third tonight against Rosemont.

1045
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:14,000
The Rose, winner of three games, no defeat so far, has pitched well, very well in this his rookie season.

1046
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,000
Here's a set by Rosemont.

1047
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,000
A look back at Beninkus.

1048
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,000
The pitch is taken for a strike.

1049
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:28,000
Fastball on the outside corner.

1050
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:36,000
The Rangers with two runs on three hits. The Tigers have one run, five hits.

1051
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Rosemont checks the runner at second.

1052
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,000
The pitch to the plate, Campi swings and misses.

1053
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:50,000
Foul-tipped that one, and it's bouncing out of the mid of Milt May.

1054
01:19:50,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Milt May has taken that one on the hand. I don't know, he's walking around a little bit in the batter's box.

1055
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Rosemont taking a little bit extra time.

1056
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Campi hitting 298 at the moment, 0 for 2 tonight against Rosemont.

1057
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,000
Here's the set. He holds, now delivers.

1058
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Guangan and Fouled back into the stands behind the plate.

1059
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:38,000
Campi went lunging for that one. It was a high outside pitch.

1060
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Campi has a pretty large strike zone, at least he feels he has, because he'll go after just about anything.

1061
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Now the Rose, leaning on the knee, getting the side from Milt May.

1062
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Benique is at second, one down, a two-strike pitch. Fouled into the dirt, rolling over toward the Tiger dugout.

1063
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:04,000
John Hiller gets a start tomorrow night against Gaylord Perry.

1064
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Perry's won two and dropped four for the Rangers. Hiller, one and three, all in relief thus far for the Tigers.

1065
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:14,000
And Ernie's pregame show to begin at 8.15 again tomorrow.

1066
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Don't forget the exhibition game in Cincinnati on Thursday.

1067
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:22,000
In a break with tradition, will be broadcast.

1068
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:27,000
And we'll be hitting the air at 6.45 Thursday night from Cincinnati.

1069
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,000
The stretch now by Rosla. Here's the pitch.

1070
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:33,000
There's a looper toward center. Here comes LaFleur. He won't get it. It drops in front of him.

1071
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,000
Benique has had to hold. He checks his third base.

1072
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:44,000
He didn't know whether the ball would hold up, so Benique moves to third on the looping single to center by Campanaris.

1073
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:49,000
Runners at first and third, one out here on the sixth inning.

1074
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,000
That'll bring up Hardgrove, Hitless in two trips against Rosla.

1075
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:58,000
One is in for a conversation with Young David.

1076
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:04,000
Ruehl continues to throw down on the Tiger bullpen.

1077
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:13,000
The single by Campy is hit number four for the Rangers.

1078
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Against Rosla tonight, Hardgrove has lined through Oglebay and bounced out to Thompson unassisted.

1079
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Dave has a spot of trouble right now.

1080
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:30,000
The runners at first and third, and what a runner he's got at first base, Bert Campanaris.

1081
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:37,000
Here's the set, the pitch to the plate. It's a cold strike on Hardgrove.

1082
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Got a watch out for Campy, who has lost a little of his feet, however. He's been cut down quite a bit this year.

1083
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:52,000
He's tried to steal ten times and has been successful only three times.

1084
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Hardgrove, a good left hand batter, the set by Rosla.

1085
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:05,000
And the pitch to Mike. He hits one on the ground to Thompson, goes to second for one, and they've got the...

1086
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:10,000
It's a double play because Thompson made the play at first base to eliminate the fourth,

1087
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:15,000
so Wagner had to make the tag on Campanaris who tried to run out of the base pass to elude him.

1088
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,000
It's a double play going three-six.

1089
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:25,000
And that's all for the Rangers here in the sixth inning. No runs, two hits, no errors, and one runner left on base.

1090
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Six innings of play. The Rangers two, the Tigers one.

1091
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:40,000
Here's something you ought to know. The fresher your spark runs, the better your car's mileage. It's just that simple.

1092
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:56,000
The folks at Champion tested cars like yours all across the country.

1093
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:03,000
They found that replacing worn plugs with a fresh set of Champion spark plugs can improve your mileage and performance.

1094
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:09,000
So if that sounds good to you, fill her up with Champion, the world's number one seller.

1095
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Fill her up, fill her up, fill her up with Champion.

1096
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Fill her up with Champion.

1097
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,000
Do you have room for one more on that long ride home?

1098
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:47,000
I'm Mark Avery with an invitation to join the carpool that we call the Afternoon Music Call here on WJR 3-6 on the Goodwill Station.

1099
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,000
Moving to the seventh inning here at Arlington Stadium.

1100
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Getting the attendance figures.

1101
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:00,000
Ten thousand eight hundred and twenty-six on hand on Grand Prairie Night at Arlington.

1102
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Moving to the seventh, back to the play by a play. Here's Ernie Harwell.

1103
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Tiger four five, it may, running an air.

1104
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:09,000
Two to one, Texas, three. Two to five, and then a 50-point pass from Darrell Reddick-Teddon.

1105
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,000
He's kind of getting in the way.

1106
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,000
May is bouncing about right, one too short, stopping once to second.

1107
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Now the Tigers pulling an empty double play.

1108
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Benica's not running very hard, didn't make it to the plate before that out was made.

1109
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Here's a bounding fall off the end of the bat of May, and the count is one and one on milk.

1110
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Benica's crossed the plate before that second out was made.

1111
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,000
The run would have counted, but he didn't run very hard in,

1112
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:42,000
and the umpires noted that the play was made at second base before Benica sets the plate.

1113
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Oh, the run did not score. It is two to one, Rangers.

1114
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:51,000
They got there two in the third. The Tigers got there one in the first.

1115
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Alexander ready to pitch to the left stand of adding Tiger catcher, Milk May.

1116
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:02,000
He swings foul fly, lifted out of play.

1117
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:07,000
The Tigers scored on a single by Fluidis, a walk to Mankowski, and a two-out single by Kemp.

1118
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:14,000
And with two out on the third, Texas scored twice, a walk to Benica's he sold second, came home on a double by Washington.

1119
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Washington stole third and came home when May threw the ball into the field.

1120
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,000
That's the story so far. We're in the seventh inning.

1121
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:26,000
May waiting on a one-two delivery, swings and fouls it away right down below it.

1122
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Still a one-two count on Milk. The Tigers take the Mimsy Drain here.

1123
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:39,000
Here in front of the trainer, reading the Mimsy Drain for the Tigers is Jane Wyman from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

1124
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:43,000
Had a Tiger stand for about 20 years. He's out here tonight.

1125
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Two-three-fifth. He swings and strikes out, a breaking ball toward the outside, Fluidis.

1126
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:57,000
May goes down swinging, the fifth strike out by Alexander.

1127
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:06,000
One away in the seventh. Here's John Wachenfos. He's flying the left-hand fan.

1128
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,000
The Tigers had two for Kemp, one by Fluidis, one by Thompson, and one by Wagner.

1129
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:16,000
And they've all been singles.

1130
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Alexander ready to go into action here in the seventh inning.

1131
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Rocking fast swing and pass it up out toward second base.

1132
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Wills is turning right between the first and second, next to catch under Skiddery and Co. Two away.

1133
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Mark Wagner batting now. He's singled his first time up in the second inning.

1134
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:46,000
His back's stripped and a 50-bounce shot is just hit to Hargrove at first base.

1135
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Right here, two runs for it. No errors. Tigers one run private, one error.

1136
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Here's a strike called. He got a fast ball over.

1137
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:07,000
I'll feel straight up on it, Mark.

1138
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Next batter will be Ron LaFleur at the top of the batting order.

1139
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,000
There's a line shot to Kemp, and there as he drops it to the outside.

1140
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Bad return on one, two, three. Here come the Rangers to bat in their seventh inning.

1141
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Pets are two toward one.

1142
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,000
It's National Automotive Week up here. The right time to pick up your car.

1143
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Here's Automotive Center is bursting with auto supplies and accessories.

1144
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Equipment and values go to war during this one week special event.

1145
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:44,000
For example, Sears maintenance-free.46 battery. One of the most worry-free battery Sears has ever sold.

1146
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:50,000
You should never have to add water. Regular $31.99, now only $25.99.

1147
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,000
$35.99, two plus, $30.99.

1148
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:57,000
Regular $12.99, now only $9.99 each.

1149
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:02,000
And Sears steel guardsman railings. A rugged tire built for rugged roads with two steel belts.

1150
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,000
And two polyester cord radio flags.

1151
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:11,000
Sears steel guardsman radio, now at savings of $26.00 to $50.00 in sets of four.

1152
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:17,000
So get going to Sears Automotive Center during National Automotive Week.

1153
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:32,000
Music.

1154
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:55,000
Texas Ranger fans stand by the old seven inning stretch.

1155
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Here's Willie Horx to face Dave Rosner.

1156
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Willie's 0-2 tonight against his old teammates. He swings and misses.

1157
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Will has bounced the third base and fouled out the third.

1158
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:11,000
They're over-shifting on him now. Mankowski, Wagner, and Pruitties all on the left side of the infield.

1159
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:17,000
And the outfield deep to left on Horton.

1160
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:22,000
Starting the last half of the seventh in our league.

1161
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Horton cuts as the drive to left field, Kemp is there, has it for the outfield.

1162
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:30,000
The drive to left field, Kemp, retires Willie for the third straight time.

1163
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:37,000
That'll bring to bat Tom Greave, the right fielder who has struck out and bounced the third.

1164
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Now the four hit for Texas, Claudel, Washington with a double.

1165
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:51,000
Campanaro's for the single, Will's for the single, and Benek is for the single.

1166
01:30:51,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Right hand batting Greave at the plate now, and Rose delivers a ball high to him, ball one.

1167
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:09,000
He takes the pitch in too close, 2-0 the count on Greave.

1168
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Colby Harrow will follow.

1169
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Texas 2 Tigers 1 and the 7th, there's a strike, he got a slider across, 2-1 the count.

1170
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:32,000
Rusty Stav out of action, did not even dress tonight, he's up in the press box area watching the game.

1171
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:38,000
Here's a cut and a miss, Rusty has a full muscle in his trident, he's taking therapy,

1172
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:45,000
and says he does not think he'll be available tomorrow, but hopes to be ready by Friday.

1173
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:50,000
2-2 the count of the right hand batting outfield Greave.

1174
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:58,000
He swings him up one to third, Glossmeyer, Mankowski, throw to Thompson, got him, and they are two down now.

1175
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:06,000
One of the last innings fastest pitches listed here now, Alexander at 85 miles per hour and Rose my at 84.

1176
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:14,000
That mark is paid right around 84 and 85 for each of the two pitches.

1177
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Here's Colby Harrow, Colby's fly to center and bounced out the first.

1178
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:27,000
And they wind up by Rose, but the pitch is a ball outside, he's flat, it broke away.

1179
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Two down, nobody on, 2-1 the Rangers have the lead, they picked up four hits, Tigers have five blows.

1180
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Now Rose into the wind up the livers, it's a ball that hits him in the back, he's on first base, hit by the pitch.

1181
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:47,000
That'll bring to bat Bump Wills the switch that is, he's got a fly to center and a single,

1182
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:52,000
got a single sharply through the box just to the right of second base.

1183
01:32:52,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Second base for Bump Wills.

1184
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Four of the previous six innings, Rose my had set down the opposition, one, two, three.

1185
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:17,000
Here's Wills at the plate now, man on first is Harrow, Thompson holding on the bag with him,

1186
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:30,000
set by Dave Rose, he pitches, it's a strike on the outside corner.

1187
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:39,000
Steve Gurley lifting the Tiger Bulls right at the moment.

1188
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:50,000
Short lead for Harrow, Rose my looks over there, Wills steps away from place.

1189
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Bree is still coming in from the outfield.

1190
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:08,000
Outside, nothing's happening and the count is one and one.

1191
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:12,000
Ronnie Ryan, the old end dealer, touching over there third base, here's the step now,

1192
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:16,000
flip over to first, he's back in time.

1193
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:21,000
The two starters are still in there, Roseman and Alexander.

1194
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Each has a pitch to strong game so far.

1195
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:28,000
Now Roseman flips to first again, he's back in time.

1196
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:38,000
Two out, one on, seventh inning, Rangers lead by one, two to one over the Tigers.

1197
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:41,000
Roseman checking his finals, no pain, ready to go to work.

1198
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Harrow doesn't go, the pitch is outside, it was a let up.

1199
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Two on, McConaughey.

1200
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:59,000
McConaughey wide in the bag and third and not quite even with it, he's about to stop behind it.

1201
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:04,000
Harrow is in a pretty good pass, he goes and pitch his second for 3-3 by Hay to Wagner.

1202
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,000
He is facing second base, so that's a steer.

1203
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:13,000
No, the Rangers, Harrow is still second base.

1204
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:21,000
The third sector still in base, they've been cut down one time tonight.

1205
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:27,000
They had a very crucial steal in the third inning when Benekes with two out on a 3-2 pitch,

1206
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:31,000
got a walk, stole second, scored on a double by Washington.

1207
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Washington stole third and came home with the marginal run when May flew the ball into the outfield.

1208
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Now they're going to walk Wills intentionally.

1209
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:46,000
First base is open, they'll put him on now with two down.

1210
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:53,000
Mill Fahey the next schedule batter and we've got a nationally final, Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati.

1211
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:57,000
Candelaria shut him out on seven hits, he's won five and lost none.

1212
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:00,000
The final was Pittsburgh 3, Cincinnati nothing.

1213
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:05,000
Billingham took the loss and they had 30,575 at Cincinnati.

1214
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,000
Here's Fahey coming up.

1215
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:11,000
The Dodgers held on to beat the Phillies 6-4, Sutton the winner, he's 6-0.

1216
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Christopher takes the loss, he's 3-4, they have 30,000 at Philadelphia.

1217
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:28,000
That's the second walk off Roseman. Fahey swings and misses.

1218
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:32,000
Davis walked two and struck out three, hit him at it.

1219
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Two men on and two men out.

1220
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:44,000
The second time in the game that the Texans have had two runners.

1221
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:51,000
There's a breaking ball low and the counter on Fahey is even at one and one.

1222
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:56,000
Juan Beníquez who's been tough will be waiting on deck right now.

1223
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Texas ahead by one, two to one on the seventh, they've got a threat going, two men on, two men out.

1224
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Wing and a foul, they hit out of play in the dirt behind the plate.

1225
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:16,000
One ball, two strikes on Fahey. Fahey in the ball game after Sundberg was injured by the backlash of Ogilvy's bat

1226
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:25,000
and had to be removed from the game. We've not had any further word about his condition.

1227
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,000
Now Ross has slowed his pitching pace a little bit.

1228
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:31,000
Fahey digs in again against the Tiger right-hander.

1229
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:37,000
The set, look for the bases, he pitches, there's a breaking ball in too close.

1230
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:43,000
Also a little bit low, two to the count on him.

1231
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Outfield not very deep and almost straight up on him.

1232
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:52,000
Infield playing back, they can play the ground ball anywhere in this situation with two down.

1233
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Now Rosema to the stretch, looks, Fahey swings with a bounding ball on the right side.

1234
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Thompson's left the bag, Rosema covers, takes the throw in time for the out.

1235
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:09,000
The winnings grab the ball, fired over to Rosema who followed the precepts of covering when the ball hit to the right side.

1236
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:14,000
He got over there in time and the Tigers are out of trouble.

1237
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:18,000
No runs on, no hits, there were no errors and two runners are left.

1238
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:23,000
In the text of seventh, at the end of seventh, the Rangers two, the Tigers one.

1239
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:28,000
Battle!

1240
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,000
You're the designated sitter in the LeBats baseball trivia game.

1241
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:38,000
Here's the thing, who is the last Detroit Tiger to lead the American League in batting?

1242
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Take a little time to think about it and while you're at it, why not get yourself a cool, refreshing LeBats blue?

1243
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:54,000
The fight of Detroit in 1961 was Norm Cash.

1244
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:58,000
Cash hit a miss in 361 to lead the league.

1245
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:06,000
That was a great year for Cash and the way most baseball fans celebrate a good year is by drinking a great beer, LeBats blue.

1246
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Call for LeBats, the leading candidate since 1828.

1247
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Distributed by LeBats and Coors Incorporated, Buffalo, New York.

1248
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:22,000
LeBats blue is available in selective markets throughout Michigan.

1249
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:28,000
WJR's great weekend is a portable pleasure package that highlights people going places and doing things.

1250
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:42,000
This is Bob Hines inviting you to be a part of it on WJR Radio.

1251
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:45,000
The Rangers coming to bat in the eighth inning now. They trailed the Rangers by one, two to one.

1252
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:48,000
Alexander's held them in check.

1253
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:54,000
They scored a run in the first inning, a one-out single by Flutters, Mankowski walked, and after Oglew he struck out for the second out.

1254
01:39:54,000 --> 01:40:02,000
Kemp, instead of the single that scored the only Tiger run, the Rangers came back with two in their third and it's stayed that way ever since.

1255
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:07,000
As Alexander and Rosemar have dueled away here in Arlington, Texas this evening.

1256
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:10,000
Here's Ron LaPau on the top of the batting orders, trying to get it started.

1257
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Ron's bounced out three times, once to shorten, twice to second.

1258
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:20,000
Harris playing in a little bit closer third base, just inside the bag.

1259
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:25,000
Alexander the right-hander, ready to go into action in the eighth inning.

1260
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:32,000
He rocks in the livers, that is a strike call, a full move up in the boxes that he might want but didn't offer on it.

1261
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,000
And Harris was charging in from third.

1262
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,000
Strike one, the count on Ron.

1263
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:43,000
The Winnies and Mankowski will follow here in the Tiger eighth.

1264
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:48,000
He takes the ball, it's over but low, on the count even one and one.

1265
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:51,000
Two runs and four hits, no errors by Texas.

1266
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:56,000
Tigers one run, five hits and one error.

1267
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:00,000
Here's the wind-up in the one-one pit, he swings and doesn't get it.

1268
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:02,000
Gets the ball to the middle of Fahey.

1269
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:08,000
One and two, the count of the leadoff man, Ron LaFleur.

1270
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:11,000
J. Lord Perry pitches tomorrow night for the Rangers.

1271
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,000
John Heller making a start for the Tigers tomorrow.

1272
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Hope you'll be tuned their way for that one, that'll be the final game of this two-game set.

1273
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Here it comes, he cuts and it's a bounding foul over near the Tiger dugout.

1274
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:29,000
One and two, the count on Ron.

1275
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:33,000
The only Tiger with more than one hit is Steve Kemp, he's had a couple of singles.

1276
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:37,000
All the Tiger hits have been singles tonight.

1277
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:43,000
Now LaFleur digs in to wait, the pitch is a ball outside, two-two the count on him.

1278
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:48,000
The Tigers have left five runners on the bases and the Texans have left three,

1279
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:54,000
they have left all three in the last two innings.

1280
01:41:54,000 --> 01:42:00,000
Here's the motion on the two-two serve, he swings and it's a bounding ball toward right field, it's through for a base hit.

1281
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:06,000
Between Wills and Hargrove, field is about the right field of greed and flips back into Wills, the second of basements.

1282
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:12,000
And the Tigers now have the tying run, at first base, Luke Casey trotting off the top with his battery.

1283
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Harro's going to come over from third base to join in on the conference.

1284
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:25,000
And Pouettis will be the next man to bat for the Tigers.

1285
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:29,000
Well the conference is over, Luke Casey trots back to the dugout.

1286
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Pouettis has had a single, he's scored the only Tiger run, that's just in the first inning.

1287
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:43,000
Then he pops to the catcher in the third, he bounces to the third baseman in the fifth inning, one for three.

1288
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:48,000
That's the sixth Tiger hit, they've not hit their opponent.

1289
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:56,000
With the clock, the play dumb part comes out and says, all right boys, let's get the show moving.

1290
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,000
And Tito about right to his left hand.

1291
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Alexander has struck outside, he's walk one.

1292
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:07,000
Walk came in the first inning.

1293
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:12,000
Well they're about halfway up in the infield, Hargrove will haul with the Laploride first base.

1294
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:16,000
Ron right now has a fair-sized lead, here's a set by Alexander.

1295
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:21,000
And they pick Tito Buckeball, right back to the picker, he throws the second for one, the relay to first.

1296
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,000
He's then trying to double play.

1297
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:27,000
He's trying to push it past the pinner, Alexander, hit it right to him.

1298
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:39,000
He's trying to cap an error to relay to Hargrove and there's two out, nobody on.

1299
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Mankowski will be the next Tiger to bat.

1300
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Bill is locked, bounce the first and try to right.

1301
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:59,000
The first of the two will be on bat.

1302
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:03,000
Two to one, the Texas Rangers in the lead.

1303
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Outfield straight up on Mankowski here in the opening.

1304
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:15,000
Alexander winds and delivers, a slow one that got over first right.

1305
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:23,000
Now Texas is led all the way since the third when they scored two runs after two were out.

1306
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:26,000
Trying to catch them all the way.

1307
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,000
As they foul up this way it'll be out of play.

1308
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,000
Let's pause with the station identification.

1309
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,000
This is a Detroit Tiger, they spawned up first.

1310
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:36,000
The weather for Greta Detroit partly cloudy tonight, some widely scattered thundershowers,

1311
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,000
low temperature near 60.

1312
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:42,000
Tomorrow and Thursday partly sunny, continued warm, high upper 80s.

1313
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,000
At 1030 it's raining and 68.

1314
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:49,000
This is WJR Detroit.

1315
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:56,000
Mankowski fouls up another pitch and the counties strike two on him now.

1316
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Alexander jammed him down in the hand.

1317
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:07,000
Two strikes on Bill, two to one, Rangers lead, eight innings, two outs, nobody on for Detroit.

1318
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Alexander winds and delivers, here's the ball low.

1319
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:23,000
He's digging that one out of the dirt.

1320
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Alexander ready for action, delivers, here's a fly ball down the line in right field going over his grief.

1321
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:34,000
Chasing near the fence he can't get it, it's just out of play in the front row.

1322
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Over past the bullpen of the Rangers, just out of his reach.

1323
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:44,000
One and two, the count on Mankowski.

1324
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:48,000
The Rangers have made more of their scoring opportunities.

1325
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,000
That's for sure in this game.

1326
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,000
They scored the lead run on a throwing error by May.

1327
01:45:53,000 --> 01:46:00,000
Washington stealing third, came on home, May fired the ball past Mankowski into the left field corner.

1328
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,000
And right now that's the difference in the game.

1329
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:06,000
Two to one, Pavement, Texas.

1330
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Mankowski digging in to wait on a one-two delivery to him.

1331
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:21,000
He takes a low one and they count his two-two.

1332
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:24,000
Outfield pulled around the right just slightly.

1333
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:28,000
Alexander checking his time with Pavey into action, he goes.

1334
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:32,000
The pitch is a ball low, that'll make it a full count.

1335
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:42,000
Mankowski waiting on deck.

1336
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:46,000
Tigers need one to tie and two to go ahead in the eighth inning.

1337
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,000
See what Alexander will give him now on the full count delivery.

1338
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:51,000
Here's the wind up in the pitch.

1339
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:55,000
He swings as a looping drive over the head of Campanella send in left field for a base hit.

1340
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Washington steals the ball on a couple of skips and Mankowski gets the hit.

1341
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,000
That's his first.

1342
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:07,000
Man on, two away, and it'll be up to Ben Ogleve.

1343
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:15,000
Well, the Tigers have picked up two hits in this inning, the only inning they've done that since the first.

1344
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:21,000
Hey, he goes out to talk with Alexander at the mound.

1345
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:28,000
Three Tigers without hits tonight, Ogleve, May, and Wachenthal.

1346
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:33,000
Each of the others has at least one hit.

1347
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Two out, one on, Ogleve has been to that three times and Alexander has spanned him all three trips.

1348
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:52,000
He takes the ball low.

1349
01:47:52,000 --> 01:48:03,000
Mankowski not vexing off very much at first base. They've got Hargrove over there holding, opening up the spot for Ben down that line a little bit.

1350
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Alexander sets and deals. Here's a ball in too close. He moved him back.

1351
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:17,000
Two and oh, the common Ogleve is camp waiting on deck.

1352
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Tigers got the leadoff man on in this inning, but a double play wipes him away from the bases.

1353
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:36,000
And Mankowski's single, that's where we are now.

1354
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:42,000
Conference is over. Ogleve is digging in to win on a two-all delivery from Doyle Alexander.

1355
01:48:42,000 --> 01:49:01,000
The Alabama takes his set, oh, get it to the belt. Here's a strike. He got the outside corner, two and one, the count on Ben.

1356
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:06,000
Mankowski edging off a little part at first base.

1357
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:12,000
Here's a throw, gets back safely, standing up.

1358
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:22,000
Here's a final four from the ninth league. The Mets beat the Giants 8-1 in New York. Kuzma the winner, Manifusco the loser.

1359
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:28,000
And the pitch. He swings and taps one toward first. It'll go foul. The high hopper fielded by Hargrove in foul territory.

1360
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:37,000
And Kuzma the winner in that game is three and four. Manifusco has won two and lost six, and they had 8,366 at Chase Stadium tonight.

1361
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:42,000
See that one.

1362
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Now two-two, the count on Ogleve with two out and one on the eighth inning.

1363
01:49:47,000 --> 01:50:02,000
He's loose from the Texas bullpen. Time is called. He'll have to be chased down by Grieve and tossed back to the bullpen.

1364
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:10,000
Now Ben digging in, waiting on a two-two delivery from Doyle Alexander.

1365
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:16,000
A little longer lead for Mankowski at first base.

1366
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:24,000
And here's the pitch. He takes strikes, three called, and Ogleve has spanned for the fourth time in the game.

1367
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:35,000
No runs on two hits. No errors. One man left for Detroit. We go to the last half of the eighth inning. The Rangers 2-0. The Tigers 1.

1368
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Now let's check on what's happened on the farm club level for the Tigers.

1369
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:50,000
They last 24 hours last night at Evansville, and their last loss lost a close one at Omaha 2-1. The Triplets in third place in their division of the American Association have won 16 and dropped 14.

1370
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,000
Montgomery cruised along. They beat Jacksonville 10-6.

1371
01:50:53,000 --> 01:51:05,000
As Zenoik Garrison hit a first-winning Grand Slam homer, and Michiganer Terry Lynch had three hits and three runs batted in, helping Tapp Underwood pick up his third win against two defeats.

1372
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:11,000
The Rebels under Eddie Frankman leading the Western Division of the Southern League with 23 wins and only 12 defeats.

1373
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:20,000
And Lakeland's fine young pitcher Mike Critt won his sixth in a row. He has yet to lose. He went 10 innings as Lakeland turned in a 1-0 victory over Winterhaven,

1374
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:27,000
and the Lakeland Tigers remain in first place in the Northern Division of a Florida State League under Jim Leland.

1375
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Last half here, sitting in Texas, the Rangers still in front of the Tigers, 2-1.

1376
01:51:49,000 --> 01:52:04,000
John Benekes, who scored the first run after walking the two out of the third inning, will be the batter. He's also been up another time and singled on that trip, 1-1-1.

1377
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:21,000
He's been seeing that forever since he won 4-1-1. Now Rosemar ready to go to work. The right-hander pitches, and it is a ball outside, ball one.

1378
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:31,000
The pitches have both been strong tonight. There's a strike call about letter high. One-on-one, they count on Benekes.

1379
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:38,000
He'll be followed by the top of the batting order, Claudio Washington, then Burt Campaneras.

1380
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:45,000
Close one all the way here in Texas. Here's the pitch. Swing and a little nubber hit on the ground to first base, Thompson-Glendzic.

1381
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Back of the bag, makes the play on assistative first, and Benekes is out. One up and one away. Now the top of the batting order, Claudio Washington.

1382
01:52:54,000 --> 01:53:02,000
He bounced the first, doubled, as the right field, a key hit in the game. The double drove home the first run, and then he scored the second one.

1383
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:09,000
In the sixth inning, he bounced out first base, one of the pitcher covering.

1384
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Claudio stepping in.

1385
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:36,000
Outfield straight up on him, and Mankowski even with the bag at third base. Now in a little bit, Claudio is jammed at the shoulder, ball one, fast ball.

1386
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:40,000
Two to one, the Rangers lead it in the eighth.

1387
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:45,000
Rosemar into the windup delivers. Here's a drive to right for a hit.

1388
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:55,000
He weighed in and snapped a single to right. That's his second hit. Washington on with one down in the eighth inning.

1389
01:53:55,000 --> 01:54:05,000
A big fifth hit for the Rangers. It'll bring up Bert Cappanarello.

1390
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:15,000
Magnus weight is up about halfway on second with Thompson holding at the bag at first. Now Mankowski's a step behind third. Throw the first and Claudio's back.

1391
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:25,000
He's a good runner. They'll have to keep an eye on him. And LeCasey's had his charges running here tonight.

1392
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:39,000
A little kicking of the bag over there by the umpire, New Decker, trying to get it settled. Now Washington edges off.

1393
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Throw the first, he's back in time.

1394
01:54:47,000 --> 01:55:01,000
Rosemar keeping an eye on the baserunner Washington who's moving off a little farther now. Another couple of steps. Set by the Rose. A pitch, it's a pitch out, but he's not moving this time.

1395
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:19,000
Far away in the count on Cappanarello. Can't be a very fine number two hitter. He can hit and run well. Lay down a bunt and he's a little slower than he was, but he still has pretty good speed. Now the set by Rosemar. A runner doesn't go. He busts going. A swing and a miss by Campy.

1396
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:35,000
One and one they count on him. Two to one the Rangers lead the Tigers. We're in the eighth inning in Texas. One on and one out for the Rangers. The step, the pitch.

1397
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:49,000
Not moving again. It's a pitch out, two and one. Campy takes a glimpse down to third base, George Conny Ryan.

1398
01:55:49,000 --> 01:56:07,000
Moving off another step toward second. Draws a throw, gets back with a head first slide.

1399
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:22,000
Maging off again. He doesn't go. The pitch is swung on and missed. Like a fastball about at the hands. Two to the count on Cappanarello. Rangers two Tigers, one of the eights.

1400
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:34,000
Next batter will be Mike Hargrove, the left hander batting first baseman. Right now they've got to concentrate on Cappanarello to play. Washington in the first base.

1401
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:43,000
Rosemar looking to get his time from May. He's back with a head first slide.

1402
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:53,000
And again, that's a new guy kicking that bag.

1403
01:56:53,000 --> 01:57:09,000
And there's Cappanarello trying to lengthen his lead at first base. Count is two to one Cappanarello. He's going. The pitch is swung on, hit in the air. The left field is not deep. Here comes Kemp, taking hard. Can he get there? No he can't. The ball falls in front of him.

1404
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Washington heads for third. He's in safely and throws a second. Bates the second at Cappanarello. They had the runner going and the ball was hit in the short left field. Kemp charged in, couldn't quite get there, had to play it on one off.

1405
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:31,000
And the hit run may have removed Washington in the third. It'll be a single and Cappanarello goes for second on the third.

1406
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:40,000
A little Texas Linger dropping in safely in short left field. Man on second and the man on third, one away.

1407
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:47,000
And hard draw for batter. Woody Horton's schedule next.

1408
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Now let's see if they'll put him on. Yep they will. They're going to watch him first base is open.

1409
01:57:54,000 --> 01:58:03,000
Means a fourth out of the play, a double play on the ground ball and a right hand pitcher against the right hand batter. So all that contributes to the strategy here.

1410
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:11,000
But House chooses. Walking hard draw to load the bases. And bringing up the old Tiger Willie Horton.

1411
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Ball three outside on hard draw. It'll be the third walk he took by Rosemont.

1412
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:26,000
And there's ball four. Now the bases are loaded.

1413
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:34,000
And the Texas crowd is standing to give Horton an ovation.

1414
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:43,000
Meanwhile the Tigers are going to have a conference at the mound.

1415
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:50,000
And here's Willie's record tonight. He bounced the third and the second on him. He bowed to the third baseman, Mancowski, in the fourth inning.

1416
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:58,000
He had a sharp line drive directly to the glove of the left fielder, Kent. The last time it batted him seven-bottom.

1417
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:09,000
Now the bases are loaded. One man down. The Rangers lead two to one. Woody Horton against Dave Rosemont.

1418
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:14,000
In field and double play down.

1419
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:23,000
Washington the lead runner third base. Rosemont working off the set position to the leaders. And Woody takes the pressing ball wide.

1420
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:28,000
Washington at third. Campanaro at second. Hard draw at third.

1421
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:35,000
Two singles in a walk for the mound but one away.

1422
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:42,000
Now Rosemont trying to hold it on. He was about to start an eighth inning.

1423
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:46,000
Woody starting very near the plate.

1424
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:49,000
Now certainly in set position.

1425
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:52,000
The defense, the three, was a fair ball away.

1426
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:54,000
I told him he'd be looking to the back. No point in.

1427
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:57,000
Mixed the gudges at back by Washington. He'll still eat it.

1428
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:01,000
The field put off by Rosemont. It is three to one.

1429
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:07,000
It ought to be in second place tonight but we need to hurry.

1430
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:15,000
Campanaro held it second. Hard draw held at first base.

1431
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:23,000
That makes it three to one now the Rangers and the batter will be Greaves.

1432
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:26,000
With two men on and two men out.

1433
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:30,000
The outfield play down straight up.

1434
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:35,000
The Rangers stuck out and twice bounced at their base.

1435
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:39,000
Three to one. The Texans lead it.

1436
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:44,000
And Rosemont not out of the woods yet.

1437
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:47,000
Outfield a little bit to the left now. Here's the pitch.

1438
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:56,000
He takes one across the plate. Tucked the outstretched on his strike one.

1439
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:06,000
The pitch goes a little deeper on the left and on the right.

1440
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Rosemont ready.

1441
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:11,000
And the pitch swung on and popped in the air to short right field.

1442
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Here comes Ogilvy.

1443
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:18,000
He's under it on the run and makes the catch to retire the side.

1444
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:21,000
However, there's been damage by the Texans.

1445
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:24,000
One run on a walk and two singles at a sacrifice.

1446
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:27,000
And no Tiger errors. Two runners on the left. We go to the ninth inning.

1447
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,000
Texas three Detroit one.

1448
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:34,000
From the pipeline in Wyoming.

1449
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:38,000
To the oil wells down in Texas.

1450
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:42,000
Off the shore in Louisiana.

1451
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:46,000
To right back home in Finley.

1452
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:48,000
Getting oil out of the ground is one thing.

1453
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:50,000
Turning it into something people can use is another.

1454
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:53,000
We got people together we thought could do it better.

1455
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:56,000
And we called the company Marathon.

1456
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:00,000
From the waters of Alaska.

1457
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:04,000
To the research labs in Denver.

1458
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:08,000
From the Robertson 35 range.

1459
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:13,000
To pumping gas in Indiana.

1460
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:16,000
We got together to do it better.

1461
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:23,000
We did Marathon.

1462
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:34,000
Marathon Oil Company. We got together to do it better.

1463
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:41,000
High sports fans, Warren Pierce here reminding you that I'm here every night of the week when there is no Tiger baseball.

1464
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:47,000
Seven to ten on WJR Detroit.

1465
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:50,000
Well the Tigers need some instant runs here now.

1466
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:55,000
They're trailing by two. Three to one. Ninth inning.

1467
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:58,000
It'll be Steve Kemp trying to lead it off.

1468
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:03,000
Off the side.

1469
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:06,000
Kemp's had a couple of singles. He bounced out the third.

1470
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:13,000
He's middle dribbled two for three for the young outfielder.

1471
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:17,000
Garry Kemp has gone all the way. He's scattered seven Tiger hits.

1472
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Here's a fly ball. It's a right field deep. Going back is free. He's at the wall and he makes the catch.

1473
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:25,000
Got it on the warning track.

1474
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Long fly to the right. Retires Kemp on the first pitch.

1475
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:41,000
Jason will be the next Tiger batter.

1476
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:50,000
They have announced that the X-rays on Sunberg were negative and he'll take a day's rest.

1477
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:56,000
He was injured by the bat in the early part of the ball game and had to be replaced. That's the Texas catcher.

1478
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,000
Here's Jason now with one for three.

1479
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:04,000
Swings and taps went over the mound. Wills charges his second. Flips it over the first. They got him by a step and a half.

1480
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:16,000
Two pitches and two out in the Tiger ninth inning.

1481
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:22,000
They're making the announcement now on Sunberg over the PA. You might get some kind of a crowd reaction here.

1482
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:28,000
Yep, there it is.

1483
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:32,000
Milton May with two down in the ninth inning. The Tigers need two to tie.

1484
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:41,000
They trail it three to one in the first game of two here in Texas.

1485
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:52,000
Alexander ready to work and delivers a fastball outside.

1486
02:04:52,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Watkins first, waiting on deck. He takes the strike and above the knees.

1487
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:27,000
Alexander into action. Here's a foul out of play. One ball and two strikes.

1488
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Alexander's been tough. The Tigers got that one run in the first inning.

1489
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:42,000
Single a walk and then the RBI single by Kemp. They've not scored since then.

1490
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:51,000
They get that one-two pitch, two out ninth. Here's the pitch. He swings and fouls it away. Off the middle play.

1491
02:05:51,000 --> 02:06:03,000
Still alive with a one-two count as Milton May.

1492
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:12,000
He's not getting his time getting back in there. He's making Alexander wait a little bit.

1493
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:25,000
Here's the motion and the pitch. Swung on and foul to the screen. One and two of the count on him.

1494
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:35,000
Here's a rally. Died by Alexander in the last eight innings. Now the right-handed. Texas fine with his ketchup-ay-he.

1495
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:42,000
And the motion. Here's the pitch. He swings and misses. The game's over and Texas wins it.

1496
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:50,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left. And the final score, Texas three, Detroit one.

1497
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:56,000
I'm Tony Harwell and I'm here with a couple of competitors in the Chrysler Plymouth Dealers Honorary Tiger Batboy Contest.

1498
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:58,000
Paul, how does this thing work?

1499
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:04,000
Well, any boy or girl between eight and fourteen can sign up and any participating Chrysler center field.

1500
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:07,000
Provided they are accompanied by a licensed driver, eighteen or older.

1501
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:10,000
That's right. And there's no obligation for signing up.

1502
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:14,000
Then twenty-two batboys will be picked on June the 2nd, right, Katie?

1503
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:21,000
Yes, twenty-two winners. One finished Chrysler Plymouth dealer. And everyone who signs up gets a free Tiger I am on patch.

1504
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:30,000
Great. Well, that about does it. So kids, grab your parents and stop into any participating Chrysler Plymouth dealer between April 18th and May 27th.

1505
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:36,000
And sign up for the Tiger Batboy Contest. Thank you, Katie and Paul. And this is...

1506
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:38,000
Oh, there's one more thing.

1507
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Yes, Katie?

1508
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:41,000
Shouldn't that be a bet, Payson?

1509
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:47,000
Well, anyway, see your participating greater Detroit Chrysler Plymouth dealer soon.

1510
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:02,000
Well, they've rosed in a bit to get ball game again for the Tigers tonight.

1511
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:08,000
But the young twenty-year-old right-hander from Grand Rapids came up empty this time, suffering his first loss.

1512
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:16,000
After three victories, Doyle Alexander giving up a first inning run to the Tigers and then shutting them out on five hits the rest of the way.

1513
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:28,000
As his teammates picked up a pair of runs in the second, an unearned run as a result of a throwing error by Milt May that made the difference and gave Texas a 2-1 lead.

1514
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:34,000
Then Willie Horton sacrificed Fly in the eighth inning, adding an insurance run for Texas.

1515
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:39,000
Aligned score for the Rangers, three runs, six hits and no errors. They left five on base.

1516
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:44,000
The Tigers had one run on seven hits with one error and left six on base.

1517
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:49,000
Roseman now three and one. Doyle Alexander, the winner, is five and one.

1518
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:55,000
The game took two hours, fourteen minutes to play before a crowd of 10,826.

1519
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:59,000
And I'll be back to recap the scoring in one minute.

1520
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:10,000
Now, from City National Bank, use subordinated notes to make it possible for Michigan residents to earn a steady nine percent interest per year for the seven-year life of the notes.

1521
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:17,000
These notes are available for as little as $500 and an increment of $100 above that.

1522
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:24,000
The nine percent interest will be paid quarterly by check or by deposit to a CMD savings or checking account.

1523
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:28,000
The offer for the sale of these notes is made only by the offering circular.

1524
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:39,000

1526
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:55,000
961-2211.

1527
02:09:55,000 --> 02:10:01,000
City National Bank.

1528
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:05,000
People Worth is a gallery of people worth knowing.

1529
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:17,000
I'm Oscar Furnett, ready with a guided tour every weeknight during the dinner hour here on the Goodwill station.

1530
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:25,000
The Tigers jumped in front in the very first inning, but that's all they could score off Doyle Alexander tonight with one out Tita Fuentes. It was safe on a bunt single.

1531
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Phil Mankowski walked, and then with two outs, Steve Kent, single to right to score Fuentes from second base.

1532
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,000
But the Rangers took the lead in the second inning.

1533
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:37,000
I'll take your pardon, in the third inning.

1534
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:45,000
With two outs, Juan Beníquez walked, stole second on a high throw from Milt May, got in underneath the attempted tag by Wagner.

1535
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:51,000
And Claudel Washington doubled into the corner in right field to score Beníquez to tie the game at one apiece.

1536
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:57,000
And Washington stole third as May overthrew Mankowski down into the left field corner.

1537
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:01,000
Washington wheeled on in to score and made it two to one at Texas.

1538
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:14,000
The Rangers adding one more run in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly by Willie Horton, following singles by Washington and Kampi Kampaneras, and an intentional pass to Mike Hardrow.

1539
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:24,000
Alexander struck out seven Tigers, walked only one, and upping his record to five and one, he's now got a career record of 12 wins and only three defeats against the Tigers.

1540
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:29,000
Rosema suffers his first loss of his major league career after winning three straights.

1541
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:34,000
A day walked free, two of them intentionally. He struck out three and hit one batter.

1542
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:40,000
So the Rangers draw first blood in this series. They've now beaten the Tigers two times in two meetings this year.

1543
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:50,000
The windup of a short two-game stay in Texas comes tomorrow night when John Hiller will get his first start of the season, only his second since 1972.

1544
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:59,000
He'll go against the veteran Gaylord Perry, who'll be seeking to become only the third pitcher in major league history to win 100 games in each league.

1545
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:07,000
He needs one more win. He has two wins and four defeats this year, 99 wins in the American League, then coming over from the National League.

1546
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:13,000
Our broadcast coverage tomorrow will begin at 8.15 Eastern Daylight Time with Ernie Harwell's pregame show.

1547
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:18,000
That's the story from Arlington Stadium for Ernie. This is Paul Carey saying so long.

1548
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:37,000
Once again the final start, the Texas Rangers three, the Detroit Tigers one.
