00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The New York Mets faced the San Diego Padres at San Diego Stadium for a Friday night game on May 1st, 1970.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Mets were the defending world champions following their amazing 1969 season.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
They were managed by Gil Hodges and were sending Tom Seaver to the mound for this game.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Seaver was the Cy Young Award winner in 1969 with a 25-7 record and 2.21 ERA.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
He picked up where he left off in 1970, entering this game with a 4-0 record and 1.74 ERA.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
The Padres were in their second season, looking to better their 110 loss record in 1969.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
They were managed by Preston Gomez but had gotten off to a slow start entering the game with a 7-14 record.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This audio recording is from the New York Radio broadcast featuring announcers Ralph Keiner, Bob Murphy and Lindsay Nelson.

10
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Padding second, the shortstop Steve Hunt. Padding third, in center field, Clarence Gaston.

11
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Padding fourth, in left field, Al Polara. Padding fifth, the first baseman Nate Colbert.

12
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Padding sixth, in right field, Ollie Brown. Padding seventh, the third baseman Ed Spizio.

13
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Padding eighth, then catching Chris Canazero and the pitcher Al Santorini. Padding ninth, the Mets have won 10 and lost 9.

14
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Against San Diego, they have won 1 and lost 1 this year. Last year they met 12 times, lost the first game of the 12-game series and then won 11 straight.

15
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:41,000
The Padres so far this year have a record of 7 wins and 14 losses. The umpires for today's game have not come out yet.

16
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Behind home plate will be Nick Stelho calling the ball through strikes. Now they do come on the field.

17
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
At first base, Al Warlick who started his major league career as an umpire in 1940.

18
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
At second base, Ed Fargo. The umpire at third base, Paul Pryor.

19
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Tom Siever warming up down the right field bullpen. No one watching him.

20
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
He has a record of 4-0 this year and has won his last 14 decisions in the national league.

21
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Warming up down the left field line in the bullpen, Al Santorini and there's a crowd around him.

22
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I think it'll be just the reverse with Tom's 30th record in the major league.

23
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:31,000
In the ball game tomorrow we'll be on the air at 3.55. It's going to be Jim McAndrew in the mound for the Mets against Clay Kirby.

24
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Jim has a record of 1-1. Clay Kirby has a record of 0-2. It was thought that Kirby might miss a turn due to the fact that he at first was believed to have had the measles.

25
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
But it was diagnosed as a virus and he'll be pitching in that ball game tomorrow afternoon.

26
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
He'll be on the air both on radio and television tomorrow at 3.55.

27
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Sonny's game will be a doubleheader. We'll be on the air at 4 o'clock for that one. Radio and television.

28
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Jerry Gentry and Jerry Kuzmin will be the two starting pitches for the Mets. Gentry with a record of 2-0. Jerry Kuzmin has won none and lost two.

29
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:14,000
And Mike Horkas will be pitching for the Padres. He's all three and Taps Tapson also sketching the goal for the Padres. His record at 2-2.

30
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Now, Preston Gomez, the manager of the San Diego Padres at home, played with Gil Hodge, the manager of New York Mets, going over the grounds rules.

31
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Back far here, symmetrical. 3-30 down each line. 3-70 in right center and left center.

32
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
And there is no marking in center field, but it is a deep center field.

33
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And if memory serves me correctly, it's 420 feet. We'll check that out for you and give you the exact dimensions.

34
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:49,000
We're going to have a good crowd here tonight. It is predicted to be somewhere around a crowd of 20,000.

35
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So far this year, the Padres have drawn 73,502 in eight dates here at San Diego Stadium.

36
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000
It is 420 feet to the straightaway center field. High fence guarding the home run area.

37
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Fence 17 feet high and you'll see a lot of walls played off that fence.

38
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
And it makes for some exciting baseball. We'll see the outfielders play the caroms.

39
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Try and hold those drives off the wall, the two bases.

40
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Still some twilight left here at this stadium.

41
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And we're getting set for the first game of a four-game series.

42
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,000
A lot of attention focused right now on Tommy Agee. Tommy comes into the ballgame with 11-game hitting streak.

43
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Last year he and Cleon Jones hit 11 consecutive ballgames during the season.

44
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,000
And Tommy with a chance this ballgame to do even better this year.

45
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
HUD-Helston has been a hot batter for the match.

46
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
HUD has hit in 17 of the 19 games he has played and he has played in all the games.

47
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
He only met the two-so. He has a five-game streak going.

48
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And the Mets coming on strongly with their strong run up back in action.

49
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Cleon Jones, Joe Foy, and Tommy Agee set out the start of three ballgames and then got back in yesterday as the Mets defeated San Francisco Giants by a score of 4-1.

50
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
As Nolan Ryan fits another outstanding ballgame.

51
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Nolan Ryan now has a record of 2-1 and in the three games that he has been in this year he has given up one hit, two hits, and three hits.

52
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And checking the records back on Tom Siever the last time he faced the Padres he did something no other pitcher in the history of baseball has ever done.

53
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:42,000
He struck out 10 consecutive batters. He struck out his last 10 batters in that ballgame as he fished a brilliant game striking out a total of 19.

54
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
And he became the only pitcher in the history of baseball to strike out 19 batters in a day ballgame.

55
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Steve Croson struck out 19 against the Mets in 1969 to set an all-time record for strikeouts in a nine-inny ballgame but that was done at night and now Tom Siever has tied that record.

56
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,000
And he also has set one by doing it in the daytime. He erased some pretty good names out of the record book.

57
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Names like Sandy Kovacs, Bob Feller.

58
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:27,000
So Tom Siever who is bidding along now with 14 consecutive decisions in the national league having picked up 10 last year his last 10 victories and four so far this year.

59
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Record for consecutive game victories over a period of two seasons held by Carl Hubbell at 24 so Tom is not fronting too much of that record.

60
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Now the umpires have taken their stations and we're having a slight delay here as they're trying to get the crowd in and now the Padres are going out in the field.

61
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:01,000
The Padres are 7 and 14. They're tied with Houston for last place in the Western Division. They trail by 8 and a half games behind the Red Hot Cincinnati Reds at the start of the action today.

62
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000
The Reds lead the Dodgers by five games. They're in second place. Atlanta in third, five and a half back. San Francisco in fourth. They trail by six.

63
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Chicago leads the Eastern Division at the start of the action today by two and a half games over Pittsburgh.

64
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
San Francisco is three games back in third. That's our four games, three and a half games back in fourth. And now our national anthem.

65
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
The Reds lead the Dodgers by five games.

66
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000
The Reds lead the Dodgers by six games.

67
00:09:45,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Our national anthem from San Diego, California sung by Jerry Vale who is quite a New York Mets baseball fan.

68
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:17,000
The Mets here will move into a tie for second place with Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh and St. Louis continue on their way today. Pittsburgh and St. Louis both at this point losing in their ball games.

69
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
The Mets if they win today can move into a tie for second place behind Chicago.

70
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
In the National League action, Atlanta beat Chicago by a margin of three to two.

71
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:38,000
And that means that the Mets now trail the Cubs by three games. They can have a half game and maybe one half game more if they can pick up a win here tonight against San Diego.

72
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:48,000
In that game, the winning pitcher was Phil Negros, second one of the year he has lost four. Joe Decker losing pitcher, he has a record of one and one.

73
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Hank Aaron got his ninth home run. That's 563 for him in his major league career.

74
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Joe Decker, the starting pitcher for Chicago had a home run and the third with no one on and Billy Williams playing in his one thousand and one baseball game.

75
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Came up with a home run the night that he was no one on for his eighth home run of the season.

76
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:17,000
The only game concluded in the National League. In the American League, Boston beat California 8-3 as Ray Cope was the winner losing pitcher Tom Murphy.

77
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And that's the only game played to a conclusion so far in the American League. Right now, this game about to commence. Here for the play-by-play is Lindsey Nelson.

78
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Thank you very much Ralph Shannon. Hello everybody. It's Tommy H. in and waiting now. He has an 11 game hitting streak coming into this ballgame.

79
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
His average for the season is 225. He's had two homers, one of them hit yesterday at Candleseed Park in San Francisco.

80
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,000
He's batted in four runs. The right hand batter facing right hand pitcher Al Sanderini.

81
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And here's the first pitch. It's hung on and topped up to Dave Short.

82
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Steve Hunt goes back, second baseman Dave Campbell calls him out. Campbell makes the count.

83
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:04,000
On the first pitch, he has topped out. The second baseman Dave Campbell and Bud Harrelson is coming up.

84
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Harrelson has a five game hitting streak. He's hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games and he's hit safely in 17 of the 19 games the Mets have played this year.

85
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:21,000
One home run, six runs batted in, switch hitter batting left. A beautiful baseball evening in San Diego, California.

86
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Sanderini with a pitch, hung on and fouled up to the left side out of play.

87
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Sanderini was born in Irvington, New Jersey. I think he's home now in Union, New Jersey.

88
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Last year, the first meeting ever between the Padres and the Mets in New York.

89
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Sanderini was the pitcher and the Padres won. It was the only victory for San Diego over the Mets all season long.

90
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Chris Canisaro, the catcher now, calls time. Trying to reposition his outfielders a little bit.

91
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
There's one way over to his left against Bud Harrelson.

92
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Here's a swing and a drive into left center field and it's a base hit. One hops out there by Gaston way over and left and the center fielder wheels it in there.

93
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Harrelson holds it first with a single.

94
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Once again, the Padres using the oil 69 shift against Bud Harrelson and so far this year Bud has been able to gloss up every team that has played him the way they played him last year.

95
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:28,000
That brings up Leon Jones. He is hitting 242 for the season. He has nine runs batted in.

96
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Leon got off to a great start this year, then tailed off and as you go out you set him down along with Tommy A.G. and Joe Foy for three days.

97
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Brought them back yesterday and Jones, A.G. and Foy drove in all the med runs as they defeated the Giants 4-1.

98
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Off the stretch now, Santorini with a pitch and it's in for a call strike. The play on Jones.

99
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000
By the way, Mets second baseman Kenny Boswell is away on military reserve duty.

100
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Jerry Grote has rejoined the New York Mets. He is here, he is in uniform. He is not expected to be used at all.

101
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Here's a long throw over to first night in time. Harrelson's back safely.

102
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Grote had been hospitalized since the Mets arrived in Los Angeles to start this road trip.

103
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Here's a swing and a miss.

104
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Jerry told me before the ballgame that he wrapped around the field and after the walk around he was so tired he felt he had to sit down.

105
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:38,000
He did not of course participate in any drills at all because the hospitalization, the test, the treatment he's been undergoing did not leave him exactly in shape

106
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
to step into a uniform and play Major League Baseball.

107
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Here's a pitch out but there's nothing on.

108
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Chris Canavarro calling for the pitch out, thinking that the Mets might just have the running going and have a play on.

109
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000
One and two now with Archansky waiting on deck.

110
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Santorini checks again.

111
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Here's a swing and a barren ball to the right side.

112
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,000
There's an old swinging roller taking on the first baseline.

113
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
And it doesn't help from the second.

114
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
There's two men out now.

115
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Archansky is coming up.

116
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
That ball is right off the end of Leon Jones' bat and just sort of dribbled up the first baseline.

117
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Mover charged in.

118
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Loved it and tagged Leon on the baseback.

119
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Archansky's a left hand batter playing right field.

120
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Hitting 3-11, he has driven in three runs.

121
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:43,000
As Bob and Ralph indicated, they started this ballgame with first balls for just a few minutes to allow the crowd to get in.

122
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
It wasn't that it's that big a crowd.

123
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
It was simply that they had had a mix-up at the turnstiles about getting the people in.

124
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And there were people outside who hadn't been able to get inside.

125
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:01,000
And so they held the game up just for a few moments to get them in.

126
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Santorini with the pitch.

127
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And it swung on and fouled off the strike line.

128
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Lindsay, I know it's been used before, but when I ran the ball club down here in San Diego in the Pacific Coast League and the minors,

129
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
somebody called up and said, what time was the game?

130
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
And I said, well, can you make it?

131
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
It was that way in those years.

132
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
A lot of my other league fights.

133
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
I was over at your ballpark this afternoon, as a matter of fact, Ralph.

134
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Nice shopping center, isn't it?

135
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Yes, it is.

136
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Pitch is low for now.

137
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
I want to ask you about that San Diego River running by there.

138
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Did you ever get up in the ballpark?

139
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
We had a lot of trouble with that ballpark when we first built it in 1958.

140
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,000
With grannies, we had to put pumps in the dugouts because it's right on a very high water table.

141
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And we had to pump water out of the dugouts all the time.

142
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Here's a throw at second and Harrison gets back safely.

143
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Shortstop Steve Hutz came in to take the throw.

144
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Rodriguez picked up Hutz from the St. Louis Cardinal Organization in exchange for Billy McCool,

145
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:09,000
and the Cardinals promptly sent McCool, a left-hand pitcher, to tell them Hutz had been cut, assigned to Tulsa, and refused to report.

146
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
1-1 pitch.

147
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Low for a ball, Shamsky.

148
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:21,000
People say that that parking lot out there for that shopping center had more cars in it today when it was closed than we had when we were in business.

149
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Yeah, they had a lot of them there.

150
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The big shopping center.

151
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
This will be a 2-1 pitch to Shamsky with Harrison at second and two men out.

152
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
He's swinging a foul ball.

153
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
That's not a play. It's 2-2.

154
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Don Glenn-Dennon is waiting on deck.

155
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
When the Mets and the Cardinals played their first exhibition game in St. Petersburg this spring,

156
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Steve Hutz was at shortstop for the Cardinals.

157
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000
They were going to give him a good shot at being their shortstop.

158
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:00,000
They had Devannon and Hutz and ended up, of course, with Daryl Maxwell, the incumbent, retaining the position.

159
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
2-2 delivery, and it is inside low for a ball, and the count is full of three and two to Shamsky.

160
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
The San Diego Panthers have an infield alignment of Dave Colbert at first, Dave Campbell at second,

161
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Steve Hutz at short, and Ed Spizio at third.

162
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Al Perrara is in left, Clarence Gaston in center, and Ollie Brown is in right field.

163
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Chris Cannazero is the catcher.

164
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Here is a payoff pitch.

165
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Swung on, and it is ran top of the second by Dave Campbell, as the catcher retired to die.

166
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
So it is no runs and a hit for Al and one left.

167
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000
In the middle of the first inning, the score is the Mets nothing and the Padres coming to bat.

168
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Hi, this is Bob Walton at Walton Sports Shop, urging you to stop in and see us when you need camping equipment.

169
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Now that vacation time is on its way, have you found in checking over your equipment that you need something additional?

170
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Stop in and see the wide selection we have to offer.

171
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Walton carries pack frames, canteens, and mess kits.

172
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,000
If this is your first year for tenting, then be sure that you see Walton's for all styles of tents, air mattresses, Coleman stoves, and lanterns.

173
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Walton's also carries a full line of famous named sleeping bags.

174
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Of course, at Walton's, hunters can find everything in one convenient location.

175
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Guns, ammunition, and hand-loading equipment, as well as rifle scopes to make those long shots sure and safer.

176
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:59,000
A complete line of equipment for all sports is what you will find at Walton Sports Shop, Lake Avenue, and Saratoga, where sportsmen cater to sportsmen.

177
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Tom Siever is on the mound tonight for the New York Mets. He has a record of four wins and four losses.

178
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:12,000
He won his last ten last year, so he has 14 consecutive victories in National League play.

179
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:22,000
And a week ago Wednesday in New York against the San Diego Padres, he was struck out 19 to tie the all-time Major League record to set a new record for a daytime ball game.

180
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
He struck out the last ten Padres to set a new Major League record in that department.

181
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Dave Campbell is coming up. He's a right-hand batter who has hit safely in eight consecutive games, hitting.307, and he's batted in three runs.

182
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
A right-hand batter facing right-hand pitcher Tom Siever.

183
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Here's the swing and a miss for strike one.

184
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Campbell came over from the Detroit Tigers organization, and the deal lets Sergio Nicolson from San Diego to Detroit.

185
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Siever again into the motion. The pitch is low and away for a ball.

186
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Waiting on deck is Steve Hunt, the shortstop.

187
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Here's a 1-1 pitch. Swung on and missed it, 1-2.

188
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Last time out, Siever defeated the Dodgers in Los Angeles, 3-1.

189
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:51,000
This is a 1-2 pitch to Campbell. Swung on and missed. Siever strikes out Campbell. Actually, he has struck out the last 11 Padres that he has faced since he struck out the last ten a week ago, and he's in New York.

190
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:59,000
I'd have to play somewhere along the line here just to get your confidence back. Somebody's going to have to punt one so they can break up that streak.

191
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Steve Hunt is up there now, batting left against Siever. He's hitting.077. He's had one home and one run battered in. He is 1 for 13.

192
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:22,000
And it's in there for a golf strike. Joe Foley is on the edge of the grass at third. On the coaching lines for the Padres, Bob Skinner is at third and Dave Garcia is at first.

193
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Siever deals a change-up, and it misses. Not that high. A lot of motion and a big change-up served by Siever. 1-1, the Guantanamo Hunch with Clarence Gaston on deck.

194
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Here's a 1-1 pitch. Swung on and missed. The fastball again. It's 1-2.

195
00:22:47,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Siever rubbing up the ball a little bit now. Siever was in the Marine Corps. He took his boot training here in San Diego. So did Gil Hodge. So did Bob Murphy.

196
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Here's the 1-2 pitch. Swung on and is fast up to the left side. Oh, and near the line, across the foul territory. Makes the catch in foul territory.

197
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:21,000
At least the strikeout string has been broken by the Padres. Hunch has fouled out the third base. Two minutes out.

198
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:32,000
By Gaston coming up. He is at basically a four-straight yet. He's hitting 3-17 for the season. Two homers and 10 runs batted in.

199
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:45,000
The Padres have won seven and they've lost 14. Here's a pitch low for a ball. Al Ferrara is on deck. The New York Mets have won 10 games last night.

200
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:55,000
For a percentage of 526. Swing on and missed. It's 1-1.

201
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:03,000
The Padres, of course, are in the Western Division of the National League and the Mets are in the East, which means they play each other 12 times during the course of the season.

202
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Six games here in San Diego and six back in New York. They're just swinging a foul ball off and out of play at 1-2.

203
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:21,000
The Mets will play four games against the Padres in this series. Single game tomorrow afternoon and a double header here on Sunday,

204
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:28,000
which means that after that, the Mets will have only two more games against the Padres here in San Diego this season.

205
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Here's a 1-2 pitch. Breaking pitches for a foul strike. Got him with a curve ball.

206
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:41,000
And Seaver gets his second strike out of the inning as he retires the side in order. No runs, no hits, no errors, not left.

207
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:48,000
At the end of an inning, the score is, that's nothing and the Padres, nothing.

208
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Well, here's a reminder. There are still many types of season box and reserve seed plans available for the games to be played by the New York Mets at Shea Stadium this season.

209
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
And they'll suit the needs of both business firms and individual fans.

210
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Actually, I'm sure you know that there's no better way to entertain your friends or your clients than a day or an evening out of a Mets baseball game.

211
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,000
So, whether you're interested in a full season at Shea Stadium or one of the many other attractive plans,

212
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000
you can contact the ticket manager and he'll be only too happy to arrange for an appointment.

213
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,000
The National League season in New York last year was one of the most exciting ever.

214
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
And if you were out down the stretch drive and on into the postseason, you know what that meant.

215
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:39,000
We look for more of the same kind of excitement throughout the season as the Mets defend their world championship.

216
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:48,000
So, if you'd be interested in one of the ticket plans, contact the ticket manager. The number in New York is 6723000.

217
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
6723000.

218
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Number 22, Don Slantonet.

219
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Don Slantonet is coming up now.

220
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Right hand batting first baseman.

221
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Hitting 262, three homers and 11 runs batted in. He leads the Mets and runs batted in.

222
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Sanzarini pitches foul back with drive one.

223
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Joe Hoy is on deck. Had a great day yesterday.

224
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Had a swing and a foul ball. Perhaps between innings you heard the happy birthday salute on the organ.

225
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,000
It was for Eddie Miller, who is the secretary of treasure of the San Diego Hotspoh League.

226
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
And he's celebrating his 65th birthday here tonight and was saluted between innings.

227
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Two strike pitch to Ken Donnett.

228
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Outside for a ball. One and two. Sanzarini has won one game and lost three. Last year he won eight and lost 14.

229
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Now the pitch. Swung on. Hit on the ground and it is going through for a base hit up the middle.

230
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Steve Hunt starts to get the ball.

231
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Now the pitch. Swung on. Hit on the ground and it is going through for a base hit up the middle.

232
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Steve Hunt started over his left and just did not get to it. It went through and Ferris Gaston returned it.

233
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,000
And Donnett is on with the ground single up the middle.

234
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Second hit for the Mets. On foul Sanzarini and Joe Hoy is coming up.

235
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Joe Hoy has had 13 hits as a Mets. Two doubles, one homer, eight runs batted in.

236
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Hitting two oh six.

237
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Or had a couple of stolen bases yesterday.

238
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
In addition to three base hits.

239
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
That pitch is low for a ball.

240
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Wayne Jarrett on deck.

241
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:02,000
There's a couple of fellas parading a batter down through the crowd that says sports gala.

242
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Bronx, New York to lose the Mets and they're not exactly getting a big reception.

243
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Sports gala. Bronx, New York, no Mets it says.

244
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Here's a pitch low for a ball.

245
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000
There are over a hundred Marines there doing duty over here for two weeks at our front for Scott.

246
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Where Tom Siever did some of his reserve duty and they're out here in force on mosque for the New York Mets.

247
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Here comes another big batter.

248
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
That looks like a double bed sheet.

249
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Here's a swing and a lift.

250
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
The boys from the Bronx love their Mets.

251
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
VA.

252
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Two and one to count to four.

253
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Glenn Denon is on it first.

254
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Covert's holding against him there.

255
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Sanzarini's pitch swung on and they score the first and Glenn Denon's back safely.

256
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Two and two to count to four.

257
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000
There is no score in this game with the Mets your batting in the top half of the second inning.

258
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Canna's arrow flashes a sign out Sanzarini sets up.

259
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
The pitch is blown away for a ball.

260
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
It's out full at three two.

261
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
There is nobody out.

262
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Dick Stelow the umpire behind the plate.

263
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Crew chief Al Barlich the National League senior umpire is at first.

264
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Ed Vargo at second.

265
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Fall fire around at third.

266
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Glenn Denon's running.

267
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Pitches it on the ground up to middle and it's taken by Hunt for the fourth.

268
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
First and a drive.

269
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
That ground ball was right at the bag at second.

270
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Which enabled Hunt simply to take it with his foot on the bag for the fourth.

271
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
He was about a step ahead of Glenn Denon.

272
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
And then throw on the first for Dennis Holyrover with the no avail.

273
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
So it is a six three double play.

274
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
The runner was going on the three two pitch with nobody out.

275
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Wayne Garrett coming up with nobody on and two men out.

276
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Left hand batting second baseman hitting one thirty three with one run batted in.

277
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
That's in for a toss right.

278
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Wayne Garrett actually can be used at any of the end field positions.

279
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Made more third base than anything else for the Mets last year.

280
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
But he can be used at second or at short.

281
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
There's a change that's in the air.

282
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
The center field is coming hard.

283
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
It's where Jaston had he can't get there.

284
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
It's a base hit.

285
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
That's been backed up by Ferraro to get on a hop.

286
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000
This is natural grass turf here in San Diego.

287
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000
So the Mets get their third hit off Santorini and Duffy Dyer is coming up now.

288
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Duffy's five for twenty six.

289
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Still looking for his first RBI this year.

290
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
He's hitting one ninety two.

291
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
We'll be on the air tomorrow at three fifty five p.m. New York time.

292
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Bring you the second game of the series between the Mets and the San Diego Padres.

293
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Santorini off the stretch.

294
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Here's the pitch to Dyer and it's in there for a called strike.

295
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
I'm sure we're wearing the jacket but is that on deck.

296
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
The president of the San Diego Padres is Buzzy Bovesy.

297
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Former vice president and general manager of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers.

298
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000
There's a pitch low.

299
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
One and one.

300
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Bovesy is one of the owners of the Padres.

301
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Now the pitch.

302
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Blowing away from all.

303
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,000
It's two and one.

304
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,000
It's two and one.

305
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,000
The Padres are still without the services of their shortstop Tommy Dean.

306
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Who suffered a shoulder separation in an early season collision.

307
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
They expect him to be out about another week.

308
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Here's the pitch high and away.

309
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Three and one to Duffy Dyer with Seaborn on deck.

310
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Three one deliver with the runner going and it is swung on.

311
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
It missed.

312
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
No throw.

313
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
And arriving safely in second with a stolen bench is Wayne Garrett.

314
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000
It was a check swing by Dyer at the plate but umpire Nick Stella says he took it around.

315
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
The count goes to three and two.

316
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,000
It's a three one pitch.

317
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Canazero knowing the pitch was outside it would have been ball for him.

318
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,000
It was way outside.

319
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Just wasn't prepared to throw.

320
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Now it'll be a three two delivery with the runner in second.

321
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
There is no score that would Wayne Garrett's first stolen base of this season.

322
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,000
And then he bends forward to take the sign down.

323
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Canazero and the playoff pitch.

324
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Blowing away.

325
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:21,000
So Dyer goes to first.

326
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Garrett holds it second.

327
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Tom Seavers coming up.

328
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Seavers four for sixteen.

329
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
He's had a double batted in three runs.

330
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:34,000
He's hitting two fifties.

331
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,000
We follow a frustration identification.

332
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
This is the New York Mets baseball network.

333
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
You're listening to New York Mets baseball on WKAJ FM 102.3 in Saratoga Springs, New York.

334
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,000
The home of the New York Mets.

335
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:55,000
This is Lindsey Dawson with Ralph Kanner and Bob Murphy at San Diego Stadium in San Diego, California.

336
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Mets and the Padres no score in the top of the second.

337
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Men runners lead at first and second.

338
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Here's the pitch to Seavers.

339
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
It's blown away for a ball.

340
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Tommy Agee moves up on deck.

341
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Chris Canazero, the Padres catcher, calls time and goes out to the mound.

342
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Forward with Al Santolini.

343
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
He's a 21 year old pitcher.

344
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Santolini's lifetime record against the Mets is one win and one loss.

345
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:36,000
The pitching coach of the Padres is Roger Crick, former Dodger pitcher, former Mets pitcher.

346
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Here's a one-oh delivery.

347
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Swung on and fouled out.

348
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Out over the head of Yogi Berra, the Mets' coaching first.

349
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Eddie Yost is on the lines of fear.

350
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
On Sunday, we'll be broadcasting both games of the doubleheader.

351
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:05,000
We'll be televising the first game on Sunday on the air at 4 p.m. New York time.

352
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Here's a pitch in for Carl Sascha.

353
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
He was started to be gone late off.

354
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:23,000
He was in the strike zone. The count goes to one and two.

355
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:31,000
The runners take their lead, first and second.

356
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Santolini nods affirmatively and delivers a pitch.

357
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Fouled off to the right side out of play.

358
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Count holds at one and two.

359
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
It was a warm and sunny day here in San Diego.

360
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Well, a lot of those.

361
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:02,000
There's a swing and a ground ball and a foul back of third out of play going on down toward the Padre bullpen.

362
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:14,000
The count holds one and two to Tom Siever after his first time in the game.

363
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,000
The Padres are in their second year as a National League baseball team.

364
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Pitch is outside for a ball. It's two and two.

365
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Again, runners lead at first and second.

366
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Two-two pitch. Swung on and foul back. It holds two-two.

367
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:58,000
On this road trip so far, the Mets lost two by identical scores of one-nothing to the Dodgers in one of those games with 15 innings and one-one.

368
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Then in San Francisco, the Mets just reversed that.

369
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,000
They won two and lost one to the San Francisco Giants.

370
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Pitch to Sievers. Swung on, hit on the ground to first.

371
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Taken by Colbert, he goes to the bag and the side is retired.

372
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:22,000
So it's no runs on two hits, no walks, no errors and two men left. In the middle of the second inning, the score is the Mets nothing, the Padres nothing.

373
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Having a problem in deciding where to take your group on its next outing? If so, let the Mets group sales department solve it for you.

374
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,000
This department is manned by experts in handling both men's and women's groups.

375
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:41,000
These same specialists encourage community and civic organizations, social and fraternal clubs, youth, family and athletic groups to take in a Mets ball game and enjoy a day of shame.

381
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
He's a native of Brooklyn. He's hitting 225 with two homers and two runs battered out.

382
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Was an expansion draft selection of the Padres off the roster of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

383
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Broken his ankle while playing with the Dodgers.

384
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Severs pitches in there for a call strike.

385
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Cuarro was the last man that faced Severs and his string of 10 strikeouts to close that game a week ago Wednesday in New York.

386
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Earlier he had hit a home run. Here's a pitch outside. He started it and finished it, Lindsay.

387
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Yes he did.

388
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000
The Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs tonight by a score of 3-2.

389
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Here's a breaking pitch that's foul back of third out of play.

390
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
1-2 to Cuarro.

391
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,000
In that game in Atlanta, Phil Negros, the knuckleballer, won his second. He started by losing four straights. He had won two and lost four.

392
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:44,000
And young Joe Decker was the loser for the Cubs. Phil Reagan relieved him in the eighth inning. Decker's 1-1 lost one now.

393
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Henry Aaron, it is 563rd home run. At first hitting with nobody on that. That's Aaron's ninth of this year.

394
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Decker hit a homer for the Cubs and then Billy Williams hit one in the ninth for the Cubs.

395
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Pitch is low and away. Two and two out of Cuarro.

396
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
With Lake Covert on deck.

397
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,000
The end of seven innings of play. The Houston Astros lead the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3. Larry Decker for Houston. They've lost eight in a row.

398
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000
2-2 for Twangahd and missed. Seabird strikes out for Rawa.

399
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Three strikeouts for Seabird. He struck out two in the first inning.

400
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
For his mate, Covert, coming up.

401
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,000
He's had six home runs this year and 14 runs by the ladies hitting 216.

402
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Steve Carver is pitching tonight for the St. Louis Cardinals. Sal Campisi relieved him in the sixth and reached 98. Lou Brock, home of Dindy.

403
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Fizz with one on for the Cardinals. Brock's second.

404
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
It's a swing and a foul ball.

405
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:49,000
The end of seven innings of play. The Cincinnati Reds sixth. The Pittsburgh Pirates four.

406
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Stargalley started for Pittsburgh. Al McBean in the seventh. Wayne Simpson started for Cincinnati. Clay Carroll in the seventh.

407
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Johnny Bench in the three-round homer, his sixth of the year for Cincinnati.

408
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:10,000
That pitch is low. Willis Tarja will hit a grand slammer for the Pittsburgh Pirates, his third homer of this year.

409
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
The other two went over the right field for Williams and it's his fourth grand slam of his career.

410
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Here's the swing and a high-five ball to left field. Leigh-Anne Jones is underneath, waiting, and he makes the catch.

411
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Two-way and Ali Brown's coming up. Brown's hitting 242, two homers, five runs better than.

412
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Game to the Padres from the San Francisco Giants. He was the number one draft choice in the expansion graph of these Padres.

413
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:42,000
The Padres are all displaying the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium tonight. Carl Morton going against Don Sutton.

414
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,000
And the Phillies are up at Candlestick in San Francisco. Jim Bunning against Rich Robertson.

415
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,000
So that's the alignment in the National League. Let's have a chance to move up.

416
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Here's a pitch low for a ball. Yankees beat the Milwaukee Brewers 63. Mel Stottlemeyer is the winner. He's 2-3.

417
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Gene Bobbins is the loser, 2-2. Danny Walden hit his eighth homer and the eighth and one on.

418
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,000
The Milwaukee change-up gets each shot knocked out by Harrison Redd, no play.

419
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:16,000
And Ali Brown is on with a base hit. Off-speed pitch by Siever. It's deep in the hole.

420
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:22,000
And Harrison went over and shot a backhand step and it just popped out of the glove. He tried to pick it up and couldn't find it.

421
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Now, it's a base hit.

422
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,000
It's Fizio, third baseman.

423
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Heading 2-19, one homer and three runs better than.

424
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Baltimore Orioles beat the Minnesota Twins 9-3. Dave McNally the winner. He's 4-1. Dave Boswell the loser, 0-3.

425
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Cesar Tobar and Terry Crowley had home runs. Pass ball outside for a ball.

426
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
And the Oakland Athletics beat the Washington Sunators 12-5.

427
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:59,000
That's Fish Hunter, the winner. Casey Cox, the loser. Green, Rodriguez and Lee May had home runs.

428
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Red Sox beat the Cal Angels 8-3. Ray Culp over Tom Murphy.

429
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
This pitch is low. Carl Yosemsky had two home runs for the Red Sox. His second and third, George Scott had one.

430
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000
His fourth, Reggie Smith had one. His fourth.

431
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,000
The end of seven innings of play. The Kansas City Royals 5 and the Cleveland Indians 3.

432
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Dave Moriarty lead by Mike Headland on the seventh. Mojtrovsky on the eighth. Dean Chance lead by Bob Miller on the fourth.

433
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Luke Vanilla hit his fourth home on the first with two on. As the pitch is low and away.

434
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:36,000
So Cesar's gone behind the physio 3 and 0. With two men out and a runner at first. No score in the ballgame.

435
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Pitch is outside for ball and it's a walk. The physio.

436
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:59,000
He gets rid of the bat, goes down to first pace. That moves Olly Brown up to second and this Canazero will be the batter.

437
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:07,000
Canazero is hitting 255 and... Canazero is better than six runs.

438
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:13,000
The NBA playoffs score was just enough to have you heard it.

439
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:18,000
The end of the half. Los Angeles 54 in the next 47.

440
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:25,000
In the middle of the sixth inning. The Chicago White Bucys and the Detroit Tigers 4.

441
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Joe Horne on the left hand side for Detroit. Kimmerman in the sixth. Al Kalan hit his second homer in the first inning for the Detroit Tigers.

442
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Pitch is in for a call strike to Chris Canazero.

443
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Canazero bats number eight in the order.

444
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,000
He was an original Mets. He was selected by the Mets when they were formed off the roster of the Cardinals.

445
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Swing and a foul ball up to the right side now to play a two-strike.

446
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:13,000
On Sunday, Gary Gentry and Jerry Kuzma will be pitching for the New York Mets. Mike Horkins and Pat Dobson for the Padres.

447
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Bottom of the second, no score. Padres at first and second with two men out.

448
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Two-strike pitch now. I see where he checks the runners. And deal. It's outside.

449
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,000
One and two. Al Santorini is on deck.

450
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000
This stadium was opened in August of 1967.

451
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
This will be a one-two pitch.

452
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Outside it's two and two. The capacity of the stadium is 50,000.

453
00:45:51,000 --> 00:46:02,000
All around the outfield there is a wall 17 feet high. Seating area is all around the outfield.

454
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:11,000
The crowd is happy.

455
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Holly Brown at second. It's Bezier at first.

456
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Pitchers come out and Seabrook gets his fourth strikeout.

457
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,000
And the crowd is retired.

458
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:32,000
No run. A hitter on the earth and two left. At the end of two full innings of play. The score is the Mets nothing and the Padres nothing.

459
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Ted Endura's straight at Straits Gardens just two miles off Lake Avenue on the old Skylerco Road.

460
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Have a special now on Rosebushes for Mets listeners. Jackson and Perkins red double with a suggested retail price of $450.

461
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Here at San Diego the name of Murphy is very prominent.

462
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Bob's brother Jack Murphy is the sports editor of the San Diego Union.

463
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Right now though he's down covering the Kentucky Derby so we'll have to give you Bob for the point-by-point.

464
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
I'm sorry about that Ralph.

465
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Get away tomorrow.

466
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Tommy Agee will be up against Al Santorini. Top of the third no score.

467
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:24,000
After the in game tomorrow two on Sunday and the weather holds out tomorrow Sunday like it was today. It's going to be fabulous.

468
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Tommy Agee is 0 for 1 retired on an infield top fly taken by Dave Campbell.

469
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
The second baseman is first time up.

470
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:42,000
And Santorini delivers low outside of ball one. Al Santorini born in Irvington, New Jersey now makes his home in Union.

471
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Before long he'll be 22.

472
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Had a swing and a miss at a curve ball. One well one strike.

473
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,000
He had a lot of very well pitched ball games for the Padres last year.

474
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
San Diego lacking for hitting.

475
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Scored very few runs for him.

476
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,000
He'd lose 2 to 1, 3 to 2.

477
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Off the outside corner taken by Tommy Agee it's two balls and a strike.

478
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,000
You're a young pitcher working for an expansion ball club that first couple of years until he can pick up some hitting.

479
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
It's a tough way to go.

480
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Inside and low in the count three and one now to Tommy Agee.

481
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
San Diego probably has the ideal pitching coach in Roger Craig who suffered through

482
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000
those early expansion years with the New York Mets and knows what it's like.

483
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Three one delivery lined hard over second in the center field of base hit.

484
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Clean single to center by Tommy Agee to lead off the third.

485
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:47,000
For the Mets base hit number four of Al Santorini.

486
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Tommy Agee has now hit safely in 12 straight ball games.

487
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Normally around the associate a 12 game hitting streak with a hot bat.

488
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Really hasn't been true in Agee's case until I think just the last couple of days.

489
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,000
His last three base hits have really been hit hard.

490
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
One is a pinch hitter, one was a home run and then this one right here and they have been tagged.

491
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Now Bud Harrelson waiting fouled back over the screen into the crowd behind third.

492
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,000
No play.

493
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Last year the longest string the Mets had was 11 shared by Agee and Jones.

494
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Bud Harrelson single his first time up.

495
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000
And a line drive into center field of base hit by Buddy Harrelson.

496
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Racing back is gas to the center fielder.

497
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Agee is around third being held up in the second base with a double.

498
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Bud Harrelson is fifth two base hit.

499
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Bud Harrelson now has 25 hits this year.

500
00:49:53,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Of the 25, five doubles, five troubles and one home run.

501
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000
11 of 25 hits have been extra base hits.

502
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:09,000
That's the second time Bud in this ball game has crossed up the Fabries who are playing him like they did last year.

503
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:17,000
He pulled that ball into the vacated spot in center field when Gaston was shaded over to left center.

504
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Now Cleon Jones stepping in.

505
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Around the leg the word will spread rapidly and the opposition is definitely going to have the defense Harrelson differently than they have in the past.

506
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Cleon Jones facing right hander Al Santorini.

507
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Cleon 0 for 1, bounced out his first time up.

508
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:42,000
Cleon looked good returning to the lineup against the Giants at Candlestick Park yesterday.

509
00:50:42,000 --> 00:51:01,000
And a foul fly hit deep down the right field line, no play.

510
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Longest hitting streak in Mets history, 18 consecutive games by Frank Thomas back in that first year.

511
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Low and outside.

512
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
One ball and one strike.

513
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Frank also set the club home run record that first year with 34.

514
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Frank makes his home in the Pittsburgh area now retired from baseball.

515
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
He does have a baseball cap in the summer.

516
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,000
He'll be coming back to New York in July for the old timers event.

517
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,000
And the Pitchford Jones a curve on the outside corner.

518
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,000
One ball and two strikes to Cleon.

519
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:40,000
No score the Mets are casting a threat AG on third, Harrelson on second.

520
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Yogi Vera coaching at first, Eddie Yost coaching at third.

521
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Art Chamsky is beyond deck batter.

522
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,000
The outfield is around toward left.

523
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

524
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Swing and a miss he's stuck him out.

525
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
That was quite a pitch by Santorini.

526
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Fast ball, low and away on the outside corner.

527
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Probably one of the most difficult pitches in baseball to hit.

528
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:14,000
The receiver struck out his 19 against the Padres in New York.

529
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:22,000
He said after the game that it was probably the most consistent he had ever been at hitting that knee high outside corner with a fastball.

530
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Now first base is open.

531
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Art Chamsky will be intentionally walked and he'll pitch to Don Cleon Dunham with the bases loaded.

532
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Strikeout by Santorini his first.

533
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:40,000
And Don Cleon Dunham who's been hitting will be coming up with a bases loaded.

534
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Kick, just a little more kick.

535
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,000
That's one of the things that makes IRC stand out from the other colas.

536
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:59,000
That will set you up against the difference of Royal Vancouver.

537
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Don Cleon Dunham hitting 279.

538
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Lined a hard single to left center field his first time at bat.

539
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Padres have their infield back at double play depth.

540
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,000
The outfield is deep and shaded toward left.

541
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Now the pitch.

542
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Swing and a miss.

543
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Al Santorini has a good arm.

544
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:28,000
He was first choice in the free agent draft by the Atlanta Braves when he signed his first pro contract.

545
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Outland Dunham waiting.

546
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Ground ball bounced toward the middle of the diamond base.

547
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Going into center field.

548
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,000
HG scores.

549
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Harrelson is flying home.

550
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,000
And the miss lead to nothing.

551
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:46,000
13 runs batted in for Don Cleon Dunham on a total of 13 bases this year.

552
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Quite a ratio.

553
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,000
And Don Cleon Dunham has been the Mets hottest batter.

554
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,000
He has hit the ball awfully well over the last four or five ball games.

555
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,000
He has had three home runs.

556
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,000
And here Preston Gomez, the manager of the Padres, elected to play the percentage.

557
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:06,000
And he walked the left hand batter to get to the right hand batter who was red hot and it didn't work.

558
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Don Cleon Dunham very easily could have had four for four at yesterday's game at the San Francisco.

559
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
He had two for four and twice was robbed of hits.

560
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Had he not been robbed right now, Mr. Cleon Dunham would be six for six.

561
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Joe Foy is up.

562
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
And now the pitcher Santorini Whirls with no throw is made.

563
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Little mix up so Campbell, the second baseman, comes in.

564
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Mr. Carmen Johnson, please go to the first gate office on the Plaza.

565
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Mr. Carmen Johnson, please report to the first gate office.

566
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Cleon Dunham driving runs in at a rapid rate.

567
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:52,000
On 11 hits collected this year, 13 runs on 13 hits, 13 runs batted in.

568
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
New York in front now, 2-0.

569
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
We're on the top of the third inning.

570
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Runners on first and second one out.

571
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:05,000
And the pitch to Joe Foy is a curve, swing and miss.

572
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Now Preston Gomez ascending the sign to the San Diego bullpen.

573
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
We will start getting warm up action.

574
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Ron Herball, a right hander, and Dan Goons, a left hander, will start warming up.

575
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:22,000
The pitch to Joe Foy, a fast ball over the outside corner of the ball strike.

576
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Wayne Garrett is the on deck batter.

577
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Joe Foy, back in the lineup yesterday, celebrated his return with three straight hits.

578
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,000
And the pitch by Sandorini, a swing and a miss.

579
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,000
He got him with a curve ball.

580
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Sandorini with a good looking curve ball, fans Joe Foy, two men down.

581
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
And Wayne Garrett will be the hitter.

582
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Wayne the seventh man to bat here on the third inning.

583
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Tommy Agee started the rally when he singled the center.

584
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Bud Harrelson promptly gave it momentum with a double to right center, putting Agee on third.

585
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Cleon was struck out, Shamsky walked intentionally.

586
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:11,000
And Glendening singled the center, driving Agee and Harrelson home.

587
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:18,000
In the dirt, blocked nicely by Chris Cannizzaro, no advance.

588
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,000
In the American League, the Orioles beat the Twins.

589
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Dave McNally won his fourth.

590
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:31,000
And Dave Boswell, a 20 game winner a year ago, has yet to win this year's game now, is 0-3.

591
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Now Sandorini makes the one second stop.

592
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Here's the pitch.

593
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,000
And a breaking ball over the inside corner of the ball strike.

594
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Duffy Dyer is beyond deck batter.

595
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Let's have made this road trip with one catcher, Duffy Dyer.

596
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,000
And a foul tip.

597
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:02,000
And for all practical purposes, it is still only one because Jerry Grody is just out of the hospital.

598
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:12,000
He's in uniform, worked out very lightly before the game tonight, but he is not ready to return to action.

599
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Jerry said the fans in New York were just magnificent, the amount of mail he received while he was hospitalized in Santa Monica, California.

600
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,000
He can't beat a Betts baseball fan.

601
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000
And the pitch on the way.

602
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Fastball just inside to Wayne Garrett.

603
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Jerry was saying that in the hospital he received calls from two of last year's teammates.

604
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Bobby File and Rod Gasper playing with the Tidewater Club at the International League this year.

605
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Tidewater was in Toledo for a ball game and they got on the phone and called Jerry to see how he was doing.

606
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Here's the pitch to Garrett.

607
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
And a half swing, he held up in time.

608
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Canazaro now is asking Stelho to check with his buddies.

609
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,000
He does check and it is a strikeout.

610
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Stelho agreed with Garrett, but Al Barlick, the senior umpire at third, who would have the lip of the left hand batter up, said no, he swung at the pitch.

611
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Side retired on the strikeout, Santorini's third.

612
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,000
Two runs, there were three hits.

613
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,000
No errors and two left on.

614
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,000
In the middle of the third inning, the New York Mets two and the San Diego Padres nothing.

615
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:29,000
I am a going on a long journey.

616
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:34,000
I will be following the springs.

617
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:43,000
It is high time that I was searching for the natural things.

618
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,000
At Rheingold, we brew beer with the natural things.

619
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:57,000
We believe a glass of beer should be a simple thing made with natural ingredients. Good water, North Dakota barley, Great American corn, imported and domestic hops, and thyme.

620
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,000
A simple thing that lets Rheingold carbonate itself naturally.

621
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:07,000
If you wonder why Rheingold Extra Dry tastes better than other beers, it's because we keep it simple and natural.

622
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Natural Rheingold.

623
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:18,000
It is high time that I was searching for the natural things.

624
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Rheingold Breweries, Inc., New York, New York and Orange, New Jersey, ask you to help keep America clean.

625
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,720
And then on a really beautiful season that should make it worth seeing, we see the

626
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:38,480
Is

627
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:52,660
official

628
00:59:52,660 --> 00:59:56,760
conference to

629
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:58,360
put

630
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:03,360
Dave Campbell, the second baseman, is on deck.

631
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,360
And a knee-high strike on the outside corner, and quickly,

632
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:11,360
Saver establishes a two-strike advantage in pitching to Al Santorini.

633
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,360
Santorini has been up six times this year.

634
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,360
He's looking for his first hit.

635
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:29,360
High, ball one. One ball, two strikes.

636
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:34,360
Now Saver over the head, around comes the arm, low and outside on a curveball,

637
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,360
and it's two and two.

638
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,360
Tom was in a minor jam in the last inning.

639
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,360
He had helped himself by getting that lead off batter, Al Ferrara.

640
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,360
He struck out Ferrara.

641
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,360
Ground ball hit toward the middle.

642
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,360
Tom Harrelson to his left. He's up with him.

643
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,360
Throws to Klondon, and Santorini is up.

644
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,360
One out and nobody on in the San Diego third.

645
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,360
Now the leadoff batter, Dave Campbell.

646
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:04,360
Campbell was struck out his first time at bat.

647
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:09,360
Cloud rates are very high on Campbell, and he certainly has been performing well to date.

648
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:14,360
Over the first 21 games of the season, Campbell hitting a 3-0-3.

649
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:27,360
His work is good in the field, and the pitch is a strike on the outside corner.

650
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,360
Now Saver side again on Duffy Dyer's target.

651
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:36,360
Swing and a miss. He looked like the slider he went after, and the counter strike too.

652
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:41,360
Steve Hunt's playing shortstop is the on-decadent.

653
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:46,360
Tommy Dean opened the season short for the Padres, played for a while and then was hurt.

654
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,360
They say he will return in about a week. Now the pitch.

655
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,360
Hit high in the air to center field. It's fairly deep.

656
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,360
Meandering back, Tommy Agee. Now he turns and makes the catch.

657
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,360
Close to the edge of the warning track in right center.

658
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,360
We pause for station identification.

659
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:17,360
This is New York Mets baseball on WKAJ FM 102.3 in Saratoga Springs, New York.

660
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,360
Bob Murphy with Ralph Kader and Lindsey Nelson.

661
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:24,360
Mets lead San Diego 2-0 last half of the third inning.

662
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,360
The batter is Steve Hunt.

663
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:33,360
And the former Cardinal takes a fastball for a strike on the inside corner.

664
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:39,360
San Diego gave up left hand pitcher Billy McCool to St. Louis to get Steve Hunt.

665
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,360
Inside and low.

666
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,360
He was in spring training as Lindsey pointed out with the Cardinals.

667
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,360
He was very much in the middle of that shortstop battle.

668
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,360
Eventually won by the incumbent Dow Maxville.

669
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,360
Foul ball, a backflip on a broadcasting group. No play.

670
01:02:55,360 --> 01:03:00,360
After he came to San Diego in the trade, he went out to Salt Lake City.

671
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,360
And just about three days ago was brought back.

672
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:10,360
Talking to Peter Vavace before the ball game tonight, the Padres are working with Salt Lake City.

673
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,360
They said they have six inches of snow in the ballpark there right now.

674
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:20,360
One-two delivery. Foul behind third back into the crowd. No play.

675
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:25,360
But Peter says it's all right. We were lucky our ball club was on the road at the moment.

676
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,360
You're not supposed to get that much snow this late in the year, are you, Ron?

677
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:33,360
I don't think you are. Nothing's all foul left.

678
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:38,360
Pitching one and two. Outside and high. The count is two and two.

679
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:48,360
Two outs, nobody on. Time to save her in quest of number five.

680
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:53,360
And the pitch is thrown to the left-hand hitter.

681
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,360
Foul foul. He got a round on an inside fastball and ripped it.

682
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,360
But he was far in front of the pitch.

683
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:04,360
For the Padres, their center fielder, Clarence Gaston, has been doing very well as the on-deck batter.

684
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:13,360
Padres is trying to build their ball club on young pitching and trying to improve their defense to make their pitching even better.

685
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,360
And the fastball has taken the strike three goal.

686
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,360
Strikeout number five for Tom Saver.

687
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:24,360
Tom is continuing to average better than a strikeout and inning for the season.

688
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,360
No runs, no hits, no errors, and none left on.

689
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:35,360
And at the end of three, the New York Mets two and the San Diego Padres nothing.

690
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:40,360
Globe Supply downtown Saratoga is the place to go for rolling and roll fast bicycles.

696
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:16,360
If you own stock in a closed corporation, you and your family can always depend on your interest in the business for financial support, right?

697
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:17,360
Perhaps not.

698
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:24,360
Suppose something should happen to you when your family is forced to redeem your stock for estate settlement expenses.

699
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,360
Will you get a fair price for it?

700

702
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:51,360
W. Dyer batting eighth of the order is the hitter against Al Santorini.

703
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,360
Ground ball off the pitcher's left, charging in hard now.

704
01:05:55,360 --> 01:06:02,360
Is Speezy on the first is not in time and Dyer is on with an infield hit.

705
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:06,360
The fast one back to the mound, a count off the glove of the pitcher Santorini.

706
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,360
He changed the direction of the ball toward the left side of the infield.

707
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,360
Third base with Speezy, raised in, picked it up.

708
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:20,360
Close play but Dyer beat it.

709
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:28,360
That is the seventh hit for the New York Mets and Tom Siever will be coming up and let's see how Gilly likes to play it.

710
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,360
Number 41.

711
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:35,360
That's lead to nothing.

712
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:44,360
We have a beautiful night and a good crowd here at San Diego Stadium.

713
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,360
Now Nate Colbert holes against the runner.

714
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,360
They look for the bat. The second baseman charges in. Ground ball to Colbert.

715
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:56,360
He throws the second one out. Back to first save.

716
01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:02,360
Oh there's a little wrinkle in defense against the bat.

717
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:08,360
I don't know whether Joe is sagging or not but he took the bum off and had Siever swing away.

718
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:13,360
And Siever hit a ground ball and almost went through the hole between first and second.

719
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,360
Colbert grabbed it and threw the second for the fourth play there.

720
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,360
Siever reaching on the fielder's choice.

721
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:26,360
The interesting wrinkle he possibly found was that the second baseman, Dave Campbell, came running in full speed to cover the bun instead of the first baseman.

722
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:33,360
That's one of the few times I've seen that play and it almost didn't work as Gil Hodges smelled it out.

723
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:38,360
He did a bat and a high pop up behind the play-doh Tommy Hagee's bat.

724
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:44,360
And a zero as an easy play.

725
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,360
Gil Hodges came so near to pulling that one off.

726
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,360
It was almost as though he anticipated it.

727
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:56,360
Instead of having Siever front, Siever swung away and hit a ground ball that Colbert lunged after and caught.

728
01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:06,360
It almost went between Colbert and the second baseman Campbell who was racing in toward home plate.

729
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:11,360
And here's Harrelson has two for two, a single left and a double to right center.

730
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,360
That is now hitting three twenty-five.

731
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:23,360
And he bluffs it up on and takes outside and a high ball one.

732
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:28,360
Harrelson leading the Mets in runs scored in total hits.

733
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:40,360
In three base hits, ground ball smuggled beautifully by Dave Campbell.

734
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:45,360
Highway robbery to driving Harrelson with his bird straight in.

735
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,360
A diving stop by a second baseman Dave Campbell.

736
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,360
He plays second base and plays it well.

737
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,360
And he scrambled to his feet and threw the first for the odds.

738
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,360
No runs, one hit, no errors and one left.

739
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:08,360
In the middle of the fourth inning, the New York Mets tour and the San Diego Padres is done.

740
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:13,360
Well Mets fans, we're into another season and we hope a really great one for your ball club.

741
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:18,360
Friendly Freddy is also going into another season of car washing, a really great one for his club.

742
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:23,360
Friendly Freddy's is the only fully automatic car wash in Saratoga Springs.

743
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,360
Their motto is, nothing for you to do but sit back and relax.

744
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:32,360
Friendly Freddy's car wash offers you the quickest and most convenient car washing service in Saratoga.

745
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:36,360
They're located on High Rock Avenue, one block off Lake Avenue.

746
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,360
At Friendly Freddy's they have a facility for everyone.

747
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:46,360
A coin operated wash for the do-it-yourselfers, the most up-to-date vacuum cleaners and of course the automatic car wash.

748
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:53,360
You just drive in, stay in your automobile and before you know it, your car is coming out cleaned at, if you like, waxed.

749
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:58,360
All this service for only $1.25. Wax is 50 cents extra.

750
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,360
Believe me Mets fans, this is a bargain with today's inflated prices.

751
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:09,360
Come on in and give them a try.

752
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,360
San Diego Padres will have the middle of the batting order facing Tom Seaver in the fourth inning.

753
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:20,360
There's Gaston, Al Carrara and Nate Colbert.

754
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:28,360
Gaston hitting 313 leads the Padres in total hits with 26.

755
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:34,360
The Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago Guv's 3-2 with Phil Negril winning his second game. He went the route.

756
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:39,360
Joe Decker was the loser and Henry Aaron hit his ninth home run.

757
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:50,360
Gaston taking a high ball one. At the age of 35, Henry Aaron is off to another sensational year.

758
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:55,360
Now the line up, pitched by Seaver, swing and a miss on a high hard one. One ball, one strike.

759
01:10:55,360 --> 01:11:03,360
Gaston was fouled out on the strikes in the first inning.

760
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:09,360
We have not seen the strikeout figures in the league in recent days. Last we saw Seaver was leading the league.

761
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,360
A swing and a miss. It's 1-2.

762
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:21,360
And entering this game tonight, Tom Seaver had 43 strikeouts in 42 innings.

763
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:25,360
Both Seaver and Nolan Ryan averaging better than nine a game.

764
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:30,360
Here's the pitch on the way. Kerr with the outside. Two balls and two strikes.

765
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:34,360
Looks like the Houston Astros will break their eight game losing streak.

766
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:38,360
They lead the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 on the ninth inning in St. Louis.

767
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:42,360
Larry Dierker pitching for the Astros.

768
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:47,360
Pitching 2-2. And a drive in the air to right field. Back to Shamsky. He's under it.

769
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:51,360
And out makes the catch near the warning track.

770
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,360
One out and nobody on.

771
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:59,360
For the second time tonight in Cincinnati, the game is being held up because of rain.

772
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:04,360
Cincinnati leading Pittsburgh 6-4 at the end of the seventh.

773
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:09,360
Willie Starr is doing a grand slam on that game and Johnny Bench is at a free run homer.

774
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:16,360
Doc Ellis and Wayne Simpson with the starting pitchers. Al McQueen and Clay Carroll are the relief pitchers.

775
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:20,360
Al Ferrarra is up and the bull takes a hard slider outside ball one.

776
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:30,360
Ferrarra struck out in the second.

777
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:35,360
Ferrarra right hand pull hitter. He has good power.

778
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,360
And Siever delivers a half swing.

779
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:43,360
He held up in time and Siever says, wait a minute. Let's check this one out.

780
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:48,360
Siever asking the plate umpire, Dick Stelos, when having some problems on the half swing.

781
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:53,360
Now they check with the first base umpire.

782
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:56,360
Al Bartlett and it is a strike.

783
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,360
This is the second time in an inning that that's happened.

784
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,360
Umpire frequently has trouble with that half swing. He gets blocked off.

785
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:09,360
He'll check with his mates at first and third. Swing and a miss.

786
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:15,360
Montreal got two in the first inning at Dodger Stadium tonight. The Expos lead the Dodgers 2-0.

787
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:20,360
Arl Sutton pitching for Montreal and Don Sutton for the Dodgers.

788
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:26,360
The Giants 1 and the Phillies nothing at the end of one. Bunning and Robertson are the pitchers.

789
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:30,360
Grounder hit hard and fouled on the third base line. No play.

790
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:36,360
At the age of 38, Jim Bunning is the oldest starting pitcher in the major leagues.

791
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,360
There are relief pitchers a little bit older.

792
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:44,360
Like old Sarge Hoyt Wilhelm who will be 47 years old in July.

793
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:52,360
Don McMahon is 40.

794
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:57,360
Down comes the pitch. Line drive caught by Joe Coy. Coy reaching over his head.

795
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:00,360
Flags down the whistler.

796
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:04,360
He watched nobody on. Metsley to nothing.

797
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,360
Now Nate Colbert coming up.

798
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:12,360
Rick Hall will reach 40 years old before the season is over.

799
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:19,360
The American League and the state of the Yankees beat Milwaukee 63 and Mel Stoudelmeyer back in that good group won his second.

800
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:24,360
Propped into the loser and Danny Weldon the surprise of the American League so far this year.

801
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,360
Hit his eighth home run.

802
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,360
One ball and no strikes.

803
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,360
Danny Walton was with Houston.

804
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:38,360
Late last year when the Astros were in the pinna drive they traded Walton to get Tommy Davis.

805
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:43,360
Now Walton is off going great guns with Milwaukee.

806
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:50,360
Low and outside. Two balls and no strikes.

807
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:54,360
Nate Colbert hitting the 213 but he certainly has been hitting for power.

808
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:58,360
He has six home runs and 14 runs patted in.

809
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,360
Towering pop foul hoping for a play.

810
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:06,360
W. Dyer he has to push Stelow out of the way and it will land in the crowd no play.

811
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:12,360
W. was having trouble getting around the play-off by Dick Stelow.

812
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,360
Dave McNally won his fourth as the Orioles beat Minnesota 93.

813
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,360
They turned back Dave Boswell.

814
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,360
Cesar Tovar and Terry Crowley had home runs.

815
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:24,360
Crowley the only new face in the championship oriole cast.

816
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:28,360
He was Oakland 12 and Washington 500 the winner Cox the loser.

817
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:32,360
Grounder foul.

818
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:38,360
Red Sox with Ray Culp pitching a six hitter beat California 8 to 3.

819
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,360
Carl Yastrowski had two home runs.

820
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,360
George Scott and Reggie Smith each had one.

821
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:48,360
Red Sox are having a good homestand.

822
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,360
Now breaking ball just off the corner.

823
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,360
Three balls and a strike to Nate Colbert.

824
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:55,360
Two outs and nobody on.

825
01:15:55,360 --> 01:16:01,360
Last of the fourth inning and the Mets lead the Padres 2-0.

826
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,360
And the pitch low and outside ball four.

827
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:10,360
For Don Ciber the second one.

828
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,360
That's about Tom's heart rate.

829
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:15,360
It's about two a game.

830
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:19,360
Ari Don Don Brown is having a good.

831
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:24,360
Brown reached on an infield hit that deep short his first time about.

832
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,360
In Kansas City it's Cleveland 7 Kansas City 5.

833
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,360
They're going to the ninth inning.

834
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:34,360
And the White Sox suddenly scoring runs.

835
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:38,360
Lead Detroit 10 to 6 of the eighth inning.

836
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:39,360
Swinging out a miss.

837
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:47,360
A knee high fastball and what a cut he had at that.

838
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:52,360
Two outs and one on.

839
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:57,360
Olly Brown batting 254 tall rangey right hand hitter.

840
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:01,360
Looks at a breaking ball low and away one ball and strike.

841
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:07,360
Let's figure Ali has a power hitter and they play him a couple of steps toward left in the outfield.

842
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:14,360
Here at San Diego Stadium is three thirty down the lines and three seventy in the power alleys.

843
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:15,360
And the pitch.

844
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,360
Swinging out a miss and a curve ball.

845
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:23,360
They will tell you that here at San Diego Stadium that a ball hit.

846
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:29,360
From the foul line to the marker and listener and right center carries very well.

847
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,360
But a ball hit.

848
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:38,360
The area straight away center field does not carry that well and has to be hit a ton.

849
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,360
Now the pitch by Seabrook swing and he got him.

850
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,360
Seabrook going with his fastball strikes out Ali Brown.

851
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:50,360
Or Tom Seabrook strike out number six in four innings.

852
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,360
No runs no hits no errors and one bat.

853
01:17:53,360 --> 01:18:05,360
At the end of four here at San Diego Stadium the New York match two and the San Diego Padres nothing.

854
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:10,360
All roads lead to Carmody Ford and Mercury at the junction of routes 29 and 40 in busy Greenwich.

855
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:14,360
Come to Carmody Carland and see their big selection of Fords in stock.

856
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:19,360
You'll find Jorritos Mustangs Thunderbirds Falcons and the new Maverick in dozens of different body styles.

857
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:26,360
Remember you can't say Carmody without saying car and for the best deal on a car see Bill Rowe Joe Zostak or Jack Carmody.

858
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,360
A good bunch of guys to do business with at Carmody Ford.

859
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:31,360
Before you buy check the Carmody deal.

860
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,360
You'll like doing business at Carmody.

861
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:38,360
Their overhead is low and at Carmody Ford everybody works to serve their customers.

862
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,360
There are no padded payrolls.

863
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,360
Every dollar you pay goes into automobile value.

864
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,360
Take the pleasant drive to Greenwich.

865
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,360
It's only minutes to Carmody your country Ford dealer.

866
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,360
For the best deal on a car see the man at Carmody Ford and Mercury.

867
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:59,360
You can't say Carmody without saying car and the best deal on a car is that Carmody Ford and Mercury at the junction of routes 29 and 40 in busy Greenwich.

868
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:15,360
We go to heading number five at San Diego Stadium and Cleon Jones will try and get it going for the New York Mets against Al Santorini.

869
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,360
New York two runs on seven hits no errors.

870
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:21,360
San Diego no runs one hit and no errors.

871
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:29,360
Cleon over to tonight has bounced the first and was struck out.

872
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:37,360
Right hander Santorini delivers off the outside corner ball one.

873
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:43,360
Everybody traveling with the Mets talking mostly about the pitching on Nolan Ryan of late.

874
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:47,360
He has certainly been sensational.

875
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:52,360
Inside Ryan just a three hitter yesterday in San Francisco.

876
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,360
Nolan Ryan has now started three games this year.

877
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,360
He has missed a one hitter, a two hitter and a three hitter.

878
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,360
High fly ball well hit the right field.

879
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,360
Roll back back to Ali Brown near the wall and he's got it.

880
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,360
Right to the wall at the 370 mark in right center.

881
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,360
Number 24 Art Chamsky.

882
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,360
Art has lined out the second and reached on an intentional one.

883
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:31,360
Mets as the world champion certainly get their share of publicity and coverage not only in the newspapers but in the magazines.

884
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:36,360
And not only in the sports magazines.

885
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:42,360
This month for example Mr. Chamsky foul behind third and out of play.

886
01:20:42,360 --> 01:21:02,360
Both Art Chamsky and Tom Siever are featured on the cover of women's fashion magazines.

887
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:06,360
Art a ball hitter the Padres swing around the right.

888
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,360
Last year Art finished the season hitting an even 300.

889
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,360
Curve is in the dirt out in front of home plate one ball and strike.

890
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:19,360
We'd like to remind you that the advanced sale window at Shae Stadium will be open tomorrow and Sunday.

891
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:25,360
For those of you who would like to stop by and make your ticket plans for the address series opening Tuesday night.

892
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:31,360
The Giants series next weekend at the Montreal series on Monday night and Tuesday afternoon Saturday.

893
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,360
Paul Fowl a slow grounder down toward Yogi.

894
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:42,360
A friend of Yogi invited him to go fishing while the Mets were out here in California and he was talking to Rube Walker about it.

895
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,360
He said Rube you ever been seasick? Rube said yeah.

896
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,360
Yogi said on water.

897
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,360
One ball to strike.

898
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,360
Yogi is certainly in demand every place the Mets go.

899
01:21:56,360 --> 01:22:01,360
Every time there's a sports luncheon where one of the first guys they try to get to show up as Yogi.

900
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:05,360
Taking a high two and two.

901
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:13,360
The public speaking although Yogi handles it very well it's not something he condones to he doesn't look forward to.

902
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:23,360
The two to delivery to Shamsky look out Art he has to get his knee out of the way it's low inside three and two.

903
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:30,360
It's all over in St. Louis the Astros bombarding the Cardinals tonight snapped their eight game losing streak.

904
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:38,360
It was Houston nine St. Louis three Larry Durger a 20 game winner last year won his fourth game against two losses.

905
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,360
Steve Carle didn't the loser.

906
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,360
Lou Brack and Joe Pepitone had home runs.

907
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:46,360
Foul on a ground ball down the first baseline.

908
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:53,360
Pepitone is at five so far this year around although Jimmy Wynn does all right.

909
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:58,360
Normally that Astrodome is not too good a place to hit a home runs nor is St. Louis where they played tonight.

910
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:08,360
Three to delivery there is a drive in the air to right right out of the brown and he puts it away for the.

911
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:16,360
The. Jones and the Shamsky have both hit the ball hard to right field and both have been retired.

912
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:22,360
One of their final score in the American League it was played with seven Kansas City five.

913
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:28,360
Kansas City led that game five three going to the eighth inning and the Indians came up with four runs in the eighth inning.

914
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:38,360
Go ahead again picks up the win and relief and Mo Drabowski the loser and relief.

915
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:44,360
One down has two for two and he's single with a basis loaded in the third driving in the only runs of the game.

916
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,360
The Mets lead to nothing.

917
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,360
I fly ball at the center field.

918
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:55,360
This one should be easy for Clarence Gaston the center fielder he walks over and has it for the.

919
01:23:55,360 --> 01:24:03,360
No runs no hits no errors and none left on now in the middle of the fifth inning.

920
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:07,360
The New York Mets to the San Diego Padres nothing.

921
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:16,360
This is the story of Myron the car where Myron was a three thousand ninety eight pound weakling and other cars his age always bullied him.

922
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:25,360
Myron be off the streets by sundown sometimes they even kick gravel in his face so long you hug a tin.

923
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:33,360
Oh poor Myron tried everything to three four got to get cheap but alas poor Myron was the victim of engine deposits.

924
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:39,360
Then one day his owner heard some good advice STP gas treatment you feel the difference.

925
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:48,360
So he added STP gasoline treatment to Myron's gas tank and right away STP gas treatment went to work eliminating those power robbing deposits.

926
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:52,360
STP gas treatment cleaned and tuned Myron's engine as he drove.

927
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:56,360
In fact Myron felt the difference with the very first can.

928
01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:02,360
Hey bullies here's a little gravel back from that hunk of tin remember.

929
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:10,360
STP gas treatment to your tank you'll feel the difference with the very first can.

930
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:26,360
The bottom third of the San Diego batting order will hit against Tom Seaver in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

931
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:34,360
It's Beasley Oh Chris Canisero and Al Santorini.

932
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:41,360
Ali Brown has the only hit off time that was an infield hit the deep short back in the second.

933
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:46,360
Just missed the outside corner one ball and no strikes.

934
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:51,360
Tom has quite a rooting section of the stadium tonight of his old Marine Reserve buddies.

935
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,360
Here's the pitch on the way swing and a miss.

936
01:25:54,360 --> 01:26:00,360
One ball one strike. Seaver pitching better than ever.

937
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,360
He has such command of his pitches and himself.

938
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:15,360
The one one delivery way off the outside corner two balls of the strike.

939
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:24,360
Duffy Dyer working behind the plate Jerry Grote is back with the ball glove and in uniform and it's going to be probably several days before you'll be strong enough to play.

940
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:31,360
Right over the center field back fiddling Tommy Agee he's under and has it for the off.

941
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,360
All is straight away.

942
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:41,360
One out and nobody on Chris Canisero the expat will be coming out.

943
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:46,360
The Padres have Chris Canisero and Bob Parton as their backstop.

944
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:51,360
And as one of the early members of the New York Mets.

945
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:59,360
He has found a home here in San Diego he represented the Padres in the All-Star Game last year.

946
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:06,360
Chris the right hand batter is a high five ball a fairly deep left backing up Leon Jones on the edge of the warning track.

947
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:11,360
He's squeezed in for the second out.

948
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:17,360
So to ask and nobody on now Al Santorini the Padres pitcher.

949
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:24,360
Number 23 Padres have an array of impressive young players.

950
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:33,360
Plus he believes in the general manager has been making moves trying to improve the defense to make the pitching even that much better.

951
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:45,360
And it's low ball one they are very pleased with the deal they made with the Tigers to get second baseman Dave Campbell.

952
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:55,360
It's the San Doria ground ball like the short knee high hop taken by Bud Harrelson and the accurate play to Clinton on the side goes down one two three.

953
01:27:55,360 --> 01:28:02,360
No runs no hits no errors and then left at the end of five innings here at San Diego Stadium.

954
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:11,360
The New York Mets to the San Diego Padres nothing.

955
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:16,360
Well Mets fans we're into another season and we hope a really great one for your ball club.

965
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:06,360
Believe me Mets fans this is a bargain with today's inflated prices.

966
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:13,360
Come on in and give them a try.

967
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:19,360
Now here in San Diego the Padre ground crew has been out to manicure the diamond.

968
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:24,360
The playing field is in excellent condition.

969
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:29,360
They had their first postponement in San Diego Padre baseball history last night.

970
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:32,360
Last Monday night the Padres were to play Montreal.

971
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:42,360
It rained during the day and it was quite cold that night and the game was postponed because of rain, cold and wet grounds.

972
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:47,360
About a day later the weather started to break and we have beautiful weather for this weekend's series.

973
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:53,360
It is inning number six in San Diego. Mets leading two-nothing and describe the action for you Ralph Koenner.

974
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:58,360
OK Bob Murphy and in the fourth period it's the Lakers seventy nine and the Knickerbockers seventy nine.

975
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:04,360
First pitch to Joe Foy is over the outside corner called strike.

976
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:09,360
Joe is over two in the ballgame struck out his last time on a curveball.

977
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:14,360
Al Santorini on the mound for the Padres he has given up two runs allowed seven hits.

978
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:21,360
Next pitch is in the dirt on by the catcher Canizarro and it's one ball and one strike.

979
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:25,360
Santorini with an all-time record in the major leagues of nine wins and eighteen losses.

980
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:28,360
Lifetime against the Mets he is one and one.

981
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:36,360
He had the only victory for the Padres against the Mets last year in twelve ballgames.

982
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:41,360
Now the pitch back and Foy hits a ground ball in the hole going over to his left Espisio to grab it.

983
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:47,360
His first base is backhanded at first base by Nate Covert for the out.

984
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:51,360
People who care don't litter people of Ryan Gold care.

985
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:55,360
They ask you to keep America beautiful.

986
01:30:55,360 --> 01:31:04,360
That brings up Wayne Garrett Wayne is looking for a second and he's one for two in the ballgame.

987
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:12,360
Wayne at a Texas Ligger in the left center field for his base and he's a left hand batter and a change up his high ball one.

988
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:33,360
Garrett batting one seventy six and the pitch back the way and there's a breaking ball over called strike one and one.

989
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:42,360
It's a Mets two of the Padres nothing. Next delivery low and they can't two balls and one strike one man on top of the sixth inning.

990
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:57,360
First game of a four game series and the next delivery is inside backhanded by Ken Azzaro on the cat goes to three balls and one strike.

991
01:31:57,360 --> 01:32:07,360
Had a chance to chat with Jim Mulvaney the vice president of the San Diego Padres. He was the vice president of the Padres and they were in the Pacific Coast League.

992
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:12,360
His baseball associations as Andy Frayn usher in Wrigley Field in Chicago.

993
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:28,360
He's a fastball foul off in the cap three balls and two strikes. The principal owner of the San Diego Padres C. Arnold Smith.

994
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:53,380
I got it for esports out of the

995
01:32:53,380 --> 01:32:57,020
principal owner of the San Diego Padres, C. Arnold Smith.

996
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,500
And a three-two that fits to Garrett, high ball four and Wayne walks.

997
01:33:07,580 --> 01:33:10,000
That's the third walk given up by Al Santorini.

998
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,360
As Garrett goes to first, we'll go out for a station identification.

999
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,580
This is a New York Mets baseball network.

1000
01:33:15,820 --> 01:33:19,340
This is your New York Mets baseball station in Saratoga Springs, New York.

1001
01:33:19,340 --> 01:33:23,340
WKAJFM 102.3 on your dial.

1002
01:33:30,440 --> 01:33:34,540
Ralph Carter along with Bob Murphy and Lindsey Nelson from San Diego, California.

1003
01:33:34,540 --> 01:33:35,900
The Mets leading two to nothing.

1004
01:33:35,900 --> 01:33:38,580
They have a runner at first base and the batter is Duffy Dyer.

1005
01:33:39,060 --> 01:33:42,240
And Duffy takes a called strike on a curve ball, strike one.

1006
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:44,660
Duffy walked in the three-two pitches first time up.

1007
01:33:44,660 --> 01:33:47,160
He's single off the pitchers bare hand.

1008
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,160
Up so he has been on twice.

1009
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:52,160
Dyer batting at two twenty-two.

1010
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,160
Right hand batter.

1011
01:33:57,160 --> 01:34:00,160
Al Santorini back and the pitchers hit hard to the shortstop.

1012
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:04,160
A good set up for a double play before the second end time on the first double play.

1013
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:10,160
Second double play for the reason of all game is a goal from Steve Huggs to Dave Campbell and Nate Colbert.

1014
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:11,160
And every time is a side.

1015
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:14,160
No runs, no hits, no errors and no one left on.

1016
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:20,160
And in the middle of the sixth inning the New York Mets two, the San Diego Padres, nothing.

1017
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:24,160
If you're considering a new car but looking for some way to keep the cost down,

1018
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,160
how about the high cost of automobile financing?

1019
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:30,160
Here's a way to save money on that too.

1020
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:34,160
With a new car bank loan direct from Ballston Spa National Bank.

1021
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:37,160
You'll save plenty because the interest rate is lower.

1022
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:41,160
More important, arrange for your direct new car loan in advance.

1023
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:44,160
Even before you decide on the car you want.

1024
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:48,160
And then you'll be shopping for your new car with cash to pay for it.

1025
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:52,160
Your savings over conventional financing will show up every month.

1026
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:56,160
Because your payments to Ballston Spa National Bank will be lower.

1027
01:34:56,160 --> 01:35:00,160
Find out just how much you can save by calling in advance.

1028
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,160
Get the exact figures on the amount you'll need for your new car.

1029
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,160
The number is 885-6711.

1030
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,160
Ballston Spa National Bank.

1031
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:10,160
885-6711.

1032
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:14,160
For details on the money saving direct new car loan.

1033
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:18,160
Offices in Bird Hills right on Route 50 and in Ballston Spa.

1034
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:22,160
Sarah Tugler County's oldest bank, Ballston Spa National Bank.

1035
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:24,160
The bank that saves you money.

1036
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:31,160
Sixth inning with the Mets leading 2-0.

1037
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:34,160
Tom Sabre has given up only one hit in the ball game.

1038
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:39,160
A single by Ollie Brown that took a slightly bad hop.

1039
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:43,160
But Harrell's had gone in the hole in the backhand and couldn't hold on to the ball.

1040
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,160
If the ball had not taken that slight bad hop.

1041
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:51,160
I'm sure Bud could have feel the ball and thrown the man out at first.

1042
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:56,160
For the ball game they were talking about the fact the Pottery's have never been no-hitted.

1043
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:59,160
Is that a word?

1044
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:02,160
And Tom Sabre of course has never pitched a no-hitter.

1045
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:04,160
But he has no chance here tonight.

1046
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:07,160
The first pitch is outside the ball as Dave Campbell takes a fastball.

1047
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:09,160
Dave is 0-2.

1048
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,160
Brought an 8-game hitting streak into the ball game.

1049
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,160
And right at this point he's batting 2-99.

1050
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,160
The 1-0 pitch to the right hand batter has popped up back at home.

1051
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,160
Played out of play.

1052
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:26,160
It'll be Dave Campbell, Steve Hunts, and Clarence Gaston.

1053
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,160
The top of the batting order for Siever here in the sixth inning.

1054
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:31,160
Tom has struck out 6.

1055
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:37,160
He has walked 2.

1056
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:41,160
Siever with an overall win record of 61 wins.

1057
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:45,160
Next pitch a breaking ball that's low and inside.

1058
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,160
Two balls, one strike.

1059
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:51,160
Siever's record in his major league career, 61 wins, 32 losses.

1060
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,160
That is quite a ratio of wins over losses.

1061
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:04,160
Now 2-1 the pitch to Campbell's swung on and the count, two balls, two strikes.

1062
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:08,160
Against the Padres, Tom has won three and lost none.

1063
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,160
Lifetime.

1064
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:17,160
So three of the 25 wins Siever had last year.

1065
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:21,160
Chocked up against the new entry in the National League, the San Diego Padres.

1066
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:24,160
And a 2-2 the pitch to Campbell hit the center field.

1067
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:27,160
A.G. Holtz now moves back, has a lot of room.

1068
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:30,160
It's 4.20 to center and he makes the catch.

1069
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:35,160
One away in the bottom of the sixth inning and the batter coming up is Steve Hunts.

1070
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,160
Steve has no hits and two times up.

1071
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:44,160
He's fighting hole 67 with one hit and 15 times up this year.

1072
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:48,160
The one hit is a hit and a two.

1073
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:53,160
He's up this year. The one hit was a home run.

1074
01:37:55,160 --> 01:38:03,160
He hit it in Cincinnati, right-handed, halfway up into the moon seats in Cincinnati in right field.

1075
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:16,160
Now the pitch as he switches and bats left-handed against Tom Siever is inside a ball.

1076
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:24,160
One ball and those strikes. Siever now back into the center and a deep drive to right.

1077
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:34,160
It's going, going and a long, long good-bye.

1078
01:38:55,160 --> 01:39:03,160
Steve Hunts puts the Padres within one with his second base into the year and he now has two home runs on two hits for the year.

1079
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:09,160
That brings up Clarence Gaston in the first pitchers high off the glove with the catchers up a dire ball one.

1080
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:19,160
Hunts last year had three home runs playing for the St. Louis Cardinals.

1081
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,160
There was no doubt about that one.

1082
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:25,160
One-oh pitch to Gaston swung on and missed one and one.

1083
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:30,160
Clarence has two home runs. He has ten runs batted in and a three-ten average.

1084
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:40,160
Hunts was in 71 ball games for the Cardinals and had three home runs in bat of 194 last year.

1085
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:52,160
The one-one pitch swung on and fouled back to count one and two.

1086
01:39:53,160 --> 01:40:05,160
LA leading 91 to 87 against the Nicaraguan Bocchers with three and a half to go.

1087
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:10,160
And the one-two pitch, rounded foul.

1088
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:17,160
Sieber had Gaston fooled and he just did get a piece of the ball and knocked it down foul by home plate.

1089
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:21,160
So the count remains at one ball and two strikes.

1090
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:29,160
One and two.

1091
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:33,160
Sieber beats the Padres with his 19 strikeouts. He beat them two to one.

1092
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:35,160
Next delivery is outside.

1093
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:39,160
Sieber misses just off the plate around the knees two and two.

1094
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:43,160
Al Ferraro had a home run in that ball game.

1095
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:50,160
That's leading two to one. One man out, bottom of the sixth inning.

1096
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:53,160
Next pitch is swung on and missed and Sieber gets his seventh strikeout.

1097
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:57,160
That gives him two men away here in the sixth inning.

1098
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:02,160
And a breeze up by Al Ferraro.

1099
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:10,160
Al was struck out his first time up.

1100
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:18,160
The next time up he was robbed of an extra base hit on a great play by Joel Foy at third on the line drive.

1101
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:23,160
Al Foy, a right hand batter.

1102
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:29,160
Sieber double pumps and the first pitch is a slider outside the ball.

1103
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:39,160
When Sieber struck out the 19 batters against the Padres, he threw 136 pitches.

1104
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:44,160
The one-oh pitch swung on and missed one and one.

1105
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:56,160
Al Foy was struck out in that ball game as the first man of 10 consecutive strikeouts and the last man of the 10.

1106
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:05,160
The one-one pitch. It is on the outside corner called strike two.

1107
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:10,160
The catcher is hit.

1108
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,160
Signs go out, Duffy Dyer the catcher and Sieber into the wind up.

1109
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:22,160
And the next pitch a half swing and the Mets are asking what it was.

1110
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:27,160
And Sieber wants the first base umpire to give some help on the play to Dick Settle.

1111
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:33,160
Settle has yet to look the first, now he does and Al Foy said no he did not swing.

1112
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:40,160
So Sieber does not get that one and the count goes to two and two.

1113
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:44,160
Pahara checked just in time.

1114
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:48,160
We've had two strikeouts called by the base umpire.

1115
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:53,160
Next pitch is swung on and fouled back. Pahara with a hard swing and a high fastball.

1116
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:57,160
Now remaining at two balls and two strikes.

1117
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:06,160
Pahara has had two home runs this year and two runs batted in with nine hits.

1118
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:10,160
He's batting two 14.

1119
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:15,160
And Sieber tries again and the pitch to Pahara is swung on and missed and he gets it.

1120
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:19,160
Eighth strikeout for Tom Sieber in the ball game. He retires the side.

1121
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:23,160
In the inning one run and the home run by Steve Hunt.

1122
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:27,160
The only hit, no errors and no one up on base and the score at the end is six.

1123
01:43:27,160 --> 01:43:31,160
New York Mets two, the San Diego Padres one.

1124
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:42,160
All roads lead to Carmody, Ford and Mercury at the junction of routes 29 and 40 in busy Greenwich.

1125
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:46,160
Come to Carmody Carland and see their big selection of Fords in stock.

1126
01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:52,160
You'll find Jorinos, Mustangs, Thunderbirds, Falcons and the new Maverick in dozens of different body styles.

1127
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:55,160
Remember you can't say Carmody without saying car.

1128
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:59,160
And for the best deal on a car see Bill Rowe, Joe Zostak or Jack Carmody.

1129
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:02,160
A good bunch of guys to do business with at Carmody Ford.

1130
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:05,160
Before you buy check the Carmody deal.

1131
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:11,160
You'll like doing business at Carmody. Their overhead is low and at Carmody Ford everybody works to serve their customers.

1132
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:15,160
There are no padded payrolls. Every dollar you pay goes into automobile value.

1133
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:20,160
Take the pleasant drive to Greenwich. It's only minutes to Carmody your country Ford dealer.

1134
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:23,160
For the best deal on a car see the men at Carmody Ford and Mercury.

1135
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:26,160
You can't say Carmody without saying car.

1136
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:33,160
And the best deal on a car is that Carmody Ford and Mercury at the junction of routes 29 and 40 in busy Greenwich.

1137
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:48,160
We're coming your way from San Diego which has become Guadalupe City.

1138
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:52,160
That's a leading by a score of 2 to 1 as they bat in the top of the seventh.

1139
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:58,160
The first batter is Tom Siever the pitcher Al Saterini and the first pitch is a curveball over at Ball Strike.

1140
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:09,160
In about the last nine years San Diego has changed from a resort country town to a major city.

1141
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:18,160
The 2-1 pitch swung on and missed and the cat at strike two.

1142
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:27,160
And of course one of the implements that they have been very happy about the acquisition of major football and major baseball.

1143
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:31,160
San Diego Chargers playing here along with the San Diego Padres.

1144
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:39,160
The next delivery is outside and the count at one ball and two strikes.

1145
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:44,160
San Diego located just about 125 miles south of Los Angeles.

1146
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:48,160
The next delivery has swung on and this receiver is struck out.

1147
01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:52,160
And Arede getting his fourth strike out of the ballgame.

1148
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:56,160
And with one man away Tommy Agee comes up.

1149
01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:59,160
Number 20 Tommy Agee.

1150
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:02,160
Tommy has a base hit and three times up and a run score.

1151
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:05,160
The base hit kept his hitting streak going.

1152
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:07,160
He now has hit in 12 consecutive games.

1153
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:11,160
The med record is 18 set by Frank Thomas.

1154
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:15,160
Tommy last year along with Leon Jones had an 11 consecutive games.

1155
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:17,160
Longer streak for the Mets last year.

1156
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:23,160
And the first pitch is hit foul over into the stands out of play.

1157
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:30,160
Agee with his 12 game streak batting now at 230 with two home runs and four runs batted in.

1158
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:33,160
Mets two runs, seven hits, no errors.

1159
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:38,160
The Padres one run, two hits and no errors.

1160
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:49,160
One man out top of the seventh inning.

1161
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:53,160
And now the right hander is one strike delivery a change up in the dirt.

1162
01:46:53,160 --> 01:47:05,160
He goes on by Canazaro the catcher one and one.

1163
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:09,160
Santorini is one and three this year.

1164
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:14,160
He has always pitched well against the Mets and the next pitch is grounded foul.

1165
01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:23,160
Count goes one and two.

1166
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,160
Al is in Union, New Jersey.

1167
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:31,160
6'1", 185 pounds.

1168
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:34,160
He has a birthday this month.

1169
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:35,160
Making 22.

1170
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:38,160
Here's the next delivery and the fastball is under the chin of Agee.

1171
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:47,160
Backs him away, it's two and two.

1172
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:52,160
And the right hander checks out the signs and the next pitch.

1173
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:57,160
It is low on the full count, three and two.

1174
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:06,160
On deck batter Bud Harrelson for the Mets.

1175
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,160
The three-two pitch to Agee.

1176
01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:10,160
Swung on and missed.

1177
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:15,160
Santorini has struck out two in a row as fourth and fifth in the ballgame.

1178
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:19,160
And that brings up Bud Harrelson.

1179
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:28,160
Bud has singled and doubled and was robbed of a base hit by a fine play by Dave Campbell in his three trips to the plate.

1180
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:31,160
Bud now is hit in 18 of the 20 games he has played in.

1181
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:35,160
He has played in every game for the Mets, the only player to do so.

1182
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:37,160
And he's batting 321.

1183
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:40,160
And they shift the outfield on him.

1184
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,160
First pitch is outside of ball.

1185
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:46,160
Boudreau's had been playing him as the other teams all did last year.

1186
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:49,160
Shifting way over as though he were a right hand batter against a right hand pitcher.

1187
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,160
Now they have shifted the outfield straight away.

1188
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,160
He crossed him up three times his first three times up.

1189
01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:56,160
And the next pitch is in for a foul strike.

1190
01:48:56,160 --> 01:49:02,160
It's one and one.

1191
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,160
Center fielder is straight away.

1192
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:07,160
Left fielder a shade toward the line but almost straight away.

1193
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:10,160
Next pitch is popped up out towards second base.

1194
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,160
Dave Campbell the second baseman coming in.

1195
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:14,160
Also there is Spezio.

1196
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:16,160
Spezio makes a catch as Campbell runs into him.

1197
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:21,160
But Spezio holds onto the ball on the side as retired in order.

1198
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,160
And the score in the middle of the seventh inning.

1199
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:24,160
The New York Mets 2.

1200
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:28,160
The San Diego Padres 1.

1201
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:32,160

It's the bottom of the seventh inning.

1220
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:39,160
The Mets leading 2-1, and the Padres have their big home run hitter coming up,

1221
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:41,160
the lead off against Tom Siever.

1222
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:44,160
Siever has held the Padres with two hits,

1223
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:49,160
an armless single and a not-so-armless home run.

1224
01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:51,160
The single was off the glove of Bud Halston.

1225
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:54,160
The home run was by Steve Hunt, so it went into the right field.

1226
01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:59,160
Bleacher.

1227
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,160
And the first pitch to Colbert is fouled back into the stands, and a play.

1228
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:07,160
Colbert has had six home runs this year, and he has driven in 14.

1229
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:12,160
Against Tom Siever, he has fought out the left field and walked.

1230
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:15,160
Right hand batter.

1231
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:20,160
He'll be followed by Ollie Brown and Ed Spizio.

1232
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:29,160
And Siever into the windup and the one-strike delivery.

1233
01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:31,160
A check swing that fits just off the plate.

1234
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:33,160
Siever missing with a slider.

1235
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:42,160
One ball, one strike.

1236
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:46,160
Dave Roberts is warming up in the bullpen now for the Padres, the left-hander.

1237
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:53,160
Next pitch is ball two, and it's two and one.

1238
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:57,160
Left-hander Dave Roberts.

1239
01:51:57,160 --> 01:51:59,160
Two-one delivery.

1240
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:06,160
It is outside, ball three, and Siever falls behind three and one.

1241
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:11,160
Colbert is batting in the fifth batting...

1242
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:14,160
Army position.

1243
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:20,160
The next delivery is popped up, and it looks like it could be a chance for Duffy Dyer as he comes back into foul territory.

1244
01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:25,160
He is under the wall, and he makes the catch.

1245
01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:33,160
So Siever getting the three-one pitch in and picking up an out.

1246
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:35,160
Now Ollie Brown coming in.

1247
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:42,160
Ollie got the first hit of the ball game off Siever when he hit one deep in the hole at shortstop.

1248
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:46,160
Second time up, he was struck out.

1249
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:51,160
Ollie Brown led the Padres in the major hitting departments last year.

1250
01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:54,160
He was acquired from San Francisco.

1251
01:52:54,160 --> 01:53:00,160
He had 20 home runs, 61 runs batted in, and batted 264 last year for the Padres.

1252
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:06,160
And the right-hand batter was almost hit by the pitch as he backed out of the way.

1253
01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:08,160
It's ball one.

1254
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:14,160
And it's indicated the ball hit the bat, so it's strike one.

1255
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:18,160
Home plate umpire Dick Sello making the sign that it was a foul chip.

1256
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:21,160
That pitch was way inside and high.

1257
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:24,160
Next pitch is high and outside.

1258
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:27,160
Scoreboard has a count at two balls and no strikes.

1259
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:31,160
We'll check for sure and see if it's that or one and one.

1260
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:36,160
Sello has not given the indicating signs with his hands.

1261
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:52,160
Next pitch is fouled back and ball goes out of play.

1262
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:55,160
Brown a big strong right-hand hitter.

1263
01:53:55,160 --> 01:54:00,160
Next delivery is in there and it's a strike call.

1264
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,160
And evidently the scoreboard was right.

1265
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:13,160
So they counted two balls and two strikes.

1266
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:14,160
Two balls, two strikes.

1267
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:15,160
Siever back.

1268
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:18,160
And a high fly ball to deep left field.

1269
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:20,160
Klon Jones on the warning track.

1270
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:27,160
He has room and he makes the catch right in the left corner of the playing field.

1271
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:31,160
Long high fly and Siever gets his second out here in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1272
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:38,160
Met bleeding by one and it brings up Ed Spizio.

1273
01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:46,160
Ed has walked in line to center field batting at 2-12 with one home run and three runs batted in.

1274
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:49,160
Right hand batter.

1275
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:53,160
Spizio had 13 home runs for the Padres last year.

1276
01:54:53,160 --> 01:55:01,160
And he takes a slider over the outside corner, a call strike.

1277
01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:06,160
Siever back and one strike pitch is popped out in the right center field.

1278
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:07,160
It'll be a base hit.

1279
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:09,160
Ed Spizio over the field a ball.

1280
01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:13,160
Gathers it in and Spizio stays at first.

1281
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:18,160
Looping line drive toward right center field and the Padres have their third into the ballgame.

1282
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:29,160
And they also have the time run at first base with the catcher Chris Canazaro coming up.

1283
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:33,160
That's about hit the Padres 7-3 as they lead 2-1.

1284
01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:47,160
Canazaro is 0-2 in this game.

1285
01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:50,160
Canazaro has a 2-45 average.

1286
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:51,160
He has no home runs.

1287
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:53,160
Has driven in six.

1288
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:59,160
He has been struck out and he has swung out the left.

1289
01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:03,160
And Siever working from the set position.

1290
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,160
The first pitch.

1291
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:08,160
Low for ball.

1292
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:11,160
99-99.

1293
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:21,160
The Lakers and the Knickelbockers starting in the overtime period.

1294
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:23,160
And the next delivery.

1295
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:25,160
Line to left field.

1296
01:56:25,160 --> 01:56:27,160
Point over three on Jones to head it off.

1297
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:28,160
He feels the ball.

1298
01:56:28,160 --> 01:56:32,160
Spizio goes to second base, makes a big turn and holds there.

1299
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:34,160
Canazaro keeps it going.

1300
01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,160
And we're going to have a pinch runner for him.

1301
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:38,160
Ron Slotcom has gone in.

1302
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:42,160
And we're also going to have a pinch hitter for the pitcher, Al Santorini.

1303
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:46,160
It is Ramon Webster batting for the pitcher, Al Santorini.

1304
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:49,160
So Siever for the first time in the ball game.

1305
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:52,160
With consecutive hits against him.

1306
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,160
Back to back singles with two men out.

1307
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:59,160
The ball was well hit by Chris Canazaro.

1308
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:03,160
Leon had to get over in a hurry near the foul line to keep it from going on through.

1309
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:11,160
Now a conference at the mound and Rube Walker talking with Tom Siever, Duffy Dyer.

1310
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:15,160
Shortstop Bud Harrelson and the first baseman Don Fendena.

1311
01:57:15,160 --> 01:57:19,160
12-1, Walker.

1312
01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:29,160
So the time run is at second base.

1313
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:34,160
Go ahead right at first with two men out in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1314
01:57:34,160 --> 01:57:44,160
And Rube Walker, the pitching coach, now back to the bench.

1315
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:49,160
Daniel Webster has been up 15 times with three hits.

1316
01:57:49,160 --> 01:57:51,160
One of them an extra base hit, a double.

1317
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:55,160
He has driven in one run.

1318
01:57:55,160 --> 01:58:03,160
He's a left hand batter.

1319
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,160
Oh the crowd here at the last 20,000.

1320
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:14,160
Trying to keep the rally going for the San Diego Padres as a match battled the Padres for the first time in Southern California.

1321
01:58:14,160 --> 01:58:19,160
In New York they split one and one with them in the two games they played there.

1322
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:21,160
Siever sets.

1323
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:23,160
And the pitch to Webster.

1324
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:32,160
Foul back against the screen, strike one.

1325
01:58:32,160 --> 01:58:41,160
Ramon Webster batting for the pitcher Al Santorini.

1326
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:44,160
Now Siever sets, checks at second base, comes back to the plate.

1327
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:51,160
The ball is away from Dyer and Fisio did not see it immediately and could not move up.

1328
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:53,160
Dyer momentarily could not find it.

1329
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:56,160
It rolled about 20 feet away, maybe 30.

1330
01:58:56,160 --> 01:59:04,160
And Fisio breaking back toward second, took himself out of a chance to move on over.

1331
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:13,160
Cal Coons is now loosening up for the Mets in their bullpen.

1332
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:15,160
Siever set to go.

1333
01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:22,160
Lay on at second and Bud Harrelson takes the throw, puts the tag on, but it's not in time.

1334
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:24,160
Fisio just barely got back in.

1335
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:33,160
Quick play put on by the roomies Tom Siever and Bud Harrelson.

1336
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:38,160
Siever last year picked out one of the great baserunners and a very crucial point.

1337
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:41,160
Picked out Hank Aaron.

1338
01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:43,160
Helped him win a ball game.

1339
01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:45,160
One ball, one strike.

1340
01:59:45,160 --> 01:59:46,160
Siever to the plate.

1341
01:59:46,160 --> 01:59:59,160
And the pitch again is bowed back against the screen and Siever with a counted one and two.

1342
01:59:59,160 --> 02:00:07,160
One ball, two strikes, Duffy Dyer goes out to talk with Tom about his sequence of pitching now.

1343
02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:10,160
After getting two men out, Ed Fisio single the right center.

1344
02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:15,160
He moved down to second on a line drive single by Chris Cannazero.

1345
02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:26,160
Ron Slocum went in the run for Chris and with the pitcher coming up, Daniel Webster was put up to pinch hit.

1346
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:34,160
Good savory, Martin Webster getting my literature mixed up.

1347
02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:38,160
Now Siever in the set position.

1348
02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:43,160
And the one-two pitch popped out to third base and Joe Foy has an easy chance.

1349
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:47,160
He makes the catch and foul territory and Siever pitches out of the jam.

1350
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:51,160
In the inning, no runs, two hits, no errors, two men left on.

1351
02:00:51,160 --> 02:01:01,160
And the score at the end of seven, the New York Mets two, San Diego Padres one.

1352
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:05,160
You know there just doesn't seem to be time left anymore to make something by hand.

1353
02:01:05,160 --> 02:01:11,160
The way things are going by the year 2000, a simple little hand-made thing will end up in the Smithsonian Institute.

1354
02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:13,160
Worth a fortune, priceless.

1355
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:17,160
We need progress, computers, automation and all that.

1356
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:20,160
And we'll find a way to live with the push-button world.

1357
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:26,160
But you have to know where to draw the line, where to kick the machines out and keep the people in.

1358
02:01:26,160 --> 02:01:29,160
We feel that a computer will never make a good glass of beer.

1359
02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:37,160
Because when all is said and done, computers have no taste.

1360
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:41,160
Rheingold will always take the time to make beer in a natural way.

1361
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:48,160
With people, with natural ingredients, with natural carbonation and with a good extra dry natural taste.

1362
02:01:48,160 --> 02:01:51,160
We'll take the time to save a good glass of beer.

1363
02:01:51,160 --> 02:01:54,160
Natural Rheingold.

1364
02:01:54,160 --> 02:02:00,160
Rheingold Breweries, Inc., New York, New York and Orange, New Jersey ask you to help keep America beautiful.

1365
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:10,160
Here in San Diego, a new innovation has been provided.

1366
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:14,160
They brought the relief pitcher into the pitching area and a dooms buggy.

1367
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:19,160
And I can think of a lot of people, Lindsay Nelson, that would call that a dooms-buddy.

1368
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:24,160
Yeah, not only that, it's tiger striped. It'll get your attention.

1369
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:33,160
Dave Roberts is coming to do the pitching now and we'll have a new catcher who is down in Greigalia right now and it's going to be Slocum, I believe.

1370
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:40,160
It'll be Slocum who appeared as a pitch runner. So Ron Slocum bats number 8 in the order, keeping a scorecard.

1371
02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:43,160
Number 12, Ron Slocum.

1372
02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:49,160
And Dave Roberts is the pitcher batting number 9.

1373
02:02:49,160 --> 02:02:55,160
Roberts is making his eighth appearance of this season. He had one start.

1374
02:02:55,160 --> 02:03:03,160
He has a record of one win and two losses. He appeared against the Mets at Chase Stadium on April 22nd in relief for one inning.

1375
02:03:03,160 --> 02:03:10,160
He allowed no runs, no hits. That was the game won by Tom Siebert, 2-1, when he struck out the 19 batters.

1376
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:20,160
The lone start for Roberts was at Houston. He was the loser 4-1. He worked the first six innings, gave us two runs on five hits.

1377
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:33,160
The Mets are up on the top of the eighth. Cleon Jones has gone 0-3.

1378
02:03:33,160 --> 02:03:41,160
Dave Roberts is a left-hand pitcher. And here is ball one high.

1379
02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:49,160
Ron Swabota has moved out on deck to bat for Art Shamsky in a Gil Hodges righty-lefty move.

1380
02:03:49,160 --> 02:04:06,160
1-0 now to Cleon Jones. Swung on and fouled off. It's 0-2.

1381
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:12,160
Jones measures the stance. There's nobody on. There's nobody out. Jones leading off here in the eighth.

1382
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:20,160
Here's a pitch low. So it's 2-1. Al Santorini, pitch seven innings, gave up two runs on seven hits.

1383
02:04:20,160 --> 02:04:27,160
He struck out five and walked three, one of them intentionally.

1384
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:34,160
This pitch is low.

1385
02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:43,160
Roberts kicks at the rubber a couple of times. Outfield is shaded around the left against Cleon Jones.

1386
02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:57,160
Now the pitch. Swung on and missed. It's out full at 3-2 down at Cleon.

1387
02:04:57,160 --> 02:05:07,160
Roberts takes the sign from Ron Slocum for the payoff pitch.

1388
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:12,160
Still getting it and Jones steps out at the plate.

1389
02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:21,160
Gets a handful of dirt. Cleon's average for the season is down to 2-31.

1390
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:30,160
Payoff pitch. It in the air to center field and Clarence Johnson ranges back but has it lined up and makes the catch.

1391
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:34,160
We pass the station identification. This is the New York Mets baseball network.

1392
02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:46,160
You're listening to New York Mets baseball on WKAJ FM 102.3 in Saratoga Springs, New York, the home of the New York Mets.

1393
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:53,160
This is Lindsey Nelson with Ralph Cannon and Bob Murphy in San Diego, California where Ron Swaboda is batting for Ari Chamsky.

1394
02:05:53,160 --> 02:06:03,160
One man out, nobody on base. The Mets are leading the Padres by a score of 2-1.

1395
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:08,160
And the pitch is low for ball.

1396
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:17,160
From Dunn and it is on deck. Gil Hodge simply went to his right hand batter when the Padres switched to a left hand pitcher.

1397
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:30,160
It's low for ball.

1398
02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:36,160
Single game here tomorrow afternoon and a double header here on Sunday between the Mets and Padres.

1399
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:45,160
Two-hole delivery hit on the ground for a second. Dave Campbell up, lays it to first in time and Swaboda is out.

1400
02:06:45,160 --> 02:06:50,160
Throw away. Next time you buy a blade, ask for a Gillette Platinum Plus.

1401
02:06:50,160 --> 02:06:59,160
The only blade with a platinum alloy edge that makes shaving smoother, closer and more comfortable every time you shave.

1402
02:06:59,160 --> 02:07:06,160
Platinum Plus.

1403
02:07:06,160 --> 02:07:19,160
Don Klandunen is 2 for 3. He's driven in two runs. He has batted in 13 runs to lead the Mets in that department this season.

1404
02:07:19,160 --> 02:07:23,160
Breaking pitch is low for a ball.

1405
02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:29,160
Tomorrow Jim McAndrew will start for the Mets and play Kirby for the San Diego Padres.

1406
02:07:29,160 --> 02:07:36,160
We'll be on the air at 3.55 p.m. New York time.

1407
02:07:36,160 --> 02:07:43,160
Here's a swing and a ground ball that is cut off at third by Especio. First to first in time to get one down.

1408
02:07:43,160 --> 02:07:52,160
A fancy fielding play by third baseman Especio who dashed to his left to cut off a ball that was headed for the hole between Short and Curve.

1409
02:07:52,160 --> 02:08:07,160
It's no runs, no hits, no errors, man left. In the middle of the eighth inning the score is the Mets 2 and the San Diego Padres 1.

1410
02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:12,160
Remember when it took two hands to hold a hamburger? It still does at McDonald's.

1411
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:23,160
We call our two-fisted hamburger Big Mac. Two 100% beef hamburgers. Lettuce, cheese, pickles and McDonald's own special sauce.

1412
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:34,160
Big Mac, the meal disguised as a sandwich. At McDonald's, your kind of place.

1413
02:08:34,160 --> 02:08:43,160
Remember when you were a kid how you hated to wait and now sometimes you can't afford to wait, especially if you want to get back to work. McDonald's understands.

1414
02:08:43,160 --> 02:08:49,160
When you step up to our counter and order a Big Mac, Coke and French fries, you get them in a hurry.

1415
02:08:49,160 --> 02:09:03,160
At McDonald's, we can serve a complete dinner for four in about 30 seconds. So whenever you want to save time, give McDonald's fast service a try. McDonald's is your kind of place.

1416
02:09:03,160 --> 02:09:19,160
Now back to New York Mets.

1417
02:09:19,160 --> 02:09:30,160
In the bottom of the eighth now, the Padres are up and it's Dave Campbell, the leadoff man. Seabreech Fitch is low for a ball.

1418
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:36,160
There's action continuing in the Med Bowl pen with Cal Coots continuing to throw down there.

1419
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:45,160
Seabreech has struck out eight and walked two and allowing one run on four hits. Here's a swing and a foul ball.

1420
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:53,160
Dave Campbell came into this game with an eight game hitting streak. He has gone 0 for 3, struck out, fly to center, fly to center.

1421
02:09:53,160 --> 02:10:05,160
Seabreech trying to protect now a one run lead through these last two innings.

1422
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:15,160
1-1 delivery, swung on, hit on the ground foul, back up 30, built a 1 and 2. The Cincinnati Reds have defeated the Pittsburgh Parrots by a score of 6 to 4.

1423
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:25,160
Simpson gets the win. Wayne Simpson has won four and he's lost one. Douglas takes the loss, he's two and one. Willie Stargell had a grand slam home on the fourth of his career.

1424
02:10:25,160 --> 02:10:32,160
They're at home over here and Johnny Bench had a three run homer for Cincinnati. That's number six for Johnny Bench. Here's a one-two pitch to Campbell.

1425
02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:39,160
Foul back and out of play. So there's a little more on the line here now in this ballgame than there was.

1426
02:10:39,160 --> 02:10:47,160
If the New York Mets can win it, they'll be in a second place tie in the Eastern Division with the Pittsburgh Parrots.

1427
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:58,160
Two and a half games back of the division leading Cubs. Here's a pitch outside for a ball. So it's 2-2.

1428
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:07,160
In an overtime, the Los Angeles Lakers have defeated the New York Knickerbockers 121 to 115. That is a final score.

1429
02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:19,160
The Lakers have won it. There's a swing and a foul ball back and out of play. Count holds at 2-2.

1430
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:31,160
And so that best of seven series now is deadlocked at two games each between the Lakers and the New York Knickerbockers for the NBA Championship.

1431
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:38,160
2-2 delivery and it's high. Sievers gone full now at 3-2.

1432
02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:44,160
The leadoff batter here in the bottom of the eighth.

1433
02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:51,160
Steve Hunt is on deck. He's the fellow who hit the home run in the bottom half of the sixth inning.

1434
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:55,160
This is a big playoff pitch. Put it on and they'll shut him out.

1435
02:11:55,160 --> 02:12:02,160
Sievers gets strikeout number nine. Has he got Campbell swinging? Steve Hunt is coming up.

1436
02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:06,160
Foul out, struck out and Homer is into the right field seat.

1437
02:12:06,160 --> 02:12:12,160
In Atlanta tonight, the Braves beat the Chicago Sub 3-2.

1438
02:12:12,160 --> 02:12:17,160
So Nitro got the win. Joe Decker took the loss. Henry Aaron had his ninth home of the year.

1439
02:12:17,160 --> 02:12:23,160
The 563rd of his career, Joe Decker had one and Billy Williams had one for Chicago.

1440
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:26,160
Pitch is inside the hunt.

1441
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:33,160
Houston Astros defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3, snapped their losing streak at eight losses.

1442
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:39,160
They did it on the rug. They got back on astroturf in St. Louis and managed to snap their losing streak.

1443
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:43,160
Here's the pitch high. 2-0 now to Hunt.

1444
02:12:43,160 --> 02:12:47,160
Decker got the win for Houston. Steve Felton took the loss for the Cardinals.

1445
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:54,160
Lou Brock had a Cardinal homer and Joe Capitone had a Houston homer. That's number five for Pepe.

1446
02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:58,160
2-0 pitch to Hunt. Get on the ground to deep first base.

1447
02:12:58,160 --> 02:13:03,160
Second back run and waves off Sievers. Jogs to the bag to make the play unassisted.

1448
02:13:03,160 --> 02:13:05,160
Two men are out.

1449
02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:11,160
Fierce Gaston's coming up. He's gone 0-3. He brought a four game hitting speed.

1450
02:13:11,160 --> 02:13:15,160
Two homers, 10 runs batted in.

1451
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:19,160
And the Reds beat the Pirates 64, Simpson over Ellis.

1452
02:13:19,160 --> 02:13:25,160
In the middle of the fourth inning up at Dodger Stadium, it's the Montreal Expos 2 and the Los Angeles Dodgers 1.

1453
02:13:25,160 --> 02:13:29,160
Carl Morton against Dom Sutton.

1454
02:13:36,160 --> 02:13:41,160
Sievers took a little walk to the infield grass. Now he's ready to work to the right hand batter and he deals it in for a call strike.

1455
02:13:41,160 --> 02:13:47,160
Here are the pay attendance figures here tonight in San Diego. 18,176.

1456
02:13:47,160 --> 02:13:53,160
18,176 paid at San Diego Stadium for the opening game of this series.

1457
02:13:53,160 --> 02:13:56,160
Just playing a miss.

1458
02:13:56,160 --> 02:14:00,160
Such a fine turnout here in San Diego.

1459
02:14:00,160 --> 02:14:02,160
Two strike count.

1460
02:14:02,160 --> 02:14:07,160
Jogs Gaston with two men out and nobody on base.

1461
02:14:07,160 --> 02:14:11,160
Sievers pitch outside for a ball.

1462
02:14:11,160 --> 02:14:16,160

Here's a 1-2 pitch.

1465
02:14:25,160 --> 02:14:37,160
Little low, goes 2-2.

1466
02:14:37,160 --> 02:14:41,160
And the 2-2 delivery. Swung on and fouled up. Count holds 2-2.

1467
02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:48,160
At Yankee Stadium tonight, the Yanks defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3. Mel Stadelmeyer got his second win.

1468
02:14:48,160 --> 02:14:54,160
Gene Robindert took the loss and Danny Walton hit his eighth homer of the season and he ate with one off.

1469
02:14:54,160 --> 02:14:59,160
The Memorials beat the Minnesota Twins 9-3. Dave McNally over Dave Boswell.

1470
02:14:59,160 --> 02:15:02,160
Cesar Tovar and Terry Crowley at homers.

1471
02:15:02,160 --> 02:15:05,160
There's a swing and a high pop toward second base.

1472
02:15:05,160 --> 02:15:09,160
Couple of steps off the back, Harrelson is waiting and Bud Harrelson makes the catch.

1473
02:15:09,160 --> 02:15:12,160
So, Sievers retires the side in order.

1474
02:15:12,160 --> 02:15:16,160
In the eighth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, none left.

1475
02:15:16,160 --> 02:15:23,160
And at the end of eight full innings of play, the score is the Mets 2 and the Padres 1.

1491
02:16:54,160 --> 02:17:04,160
Foy was one of the heroes of the Met victory yesterday when he had three bases. He's gone 0-3 here tonight.

He plays on in time to get to your point.

1500
02:17:45,160 --> 02:17:52,160
The swinging roller down towards third. One moment of indecision as to who would take it, Roberts or Stesio.

1501
02:17:52,160 --> 02:17:55,160
The third baseman took it and made the play.

1502

A chant of Lesko Mets from a group down in the stands here.

1518
02:19:24,160 --> 02:19:27,160
Here's a swing and a fly ball down the right field line.

1519
02:19:27,160 --> 02:19:35,160
Olly Brown taking over across the line down toward the Mets bullpen and it's out of play.

1520
02:19:35,160 --> 02:19:39,160
That brings Wayne Garrett back to the plate.

1521
02:19:39,160 --> 02:19:48,160
In the bottom half of the ninth inning, the San Diego Padres will be sending up Al Ferrara, Nate Cobart, and Olly Brown.

1522
02:19:48,160 --> 02:19:55,160
Three potentially long knockers.

1523
02:19:55,160 --> 02:20:00,160
They'll be dives on deck.

1524
02:20:00,160 --> 02:20:03,160
Here's the pitch to Garrett.

1525
02:20:03,160 --> 02:20:05,160
Swung on and they're striking up.

1526
02:20:05,160 --> 02:20:12,160
So Roberts gets the strike up and as a fact, Roberts is coming on in the eighth inning as retired five consecutive Mets.

1527
02:20:12,160 --> 02:20:17,160
Duffy Dyer is coming up now. He's one for two and a walk.

1528
02:20:17,160 --> 02:20:23,160
Jerry Grote has rejoined the Mets having been hospitalized in Los Angeles since the first day of this trip.

1529
02:20:23,160 --> 02:20:29,160
But Grote is not yet in shape for duty.

1530
02:20:29,160 --> 02:20:34,160
Duffy Dyer has been handling all the catching on this road trip.

1531
02:20:34,160 --> 02:20:40,160
This is in for a call strike.

1532
02:20:40,160 --> 02:20:46,160
The Mets will be at Chase Stadium in New York on Tuesday night against the Dodgers.

1533
02:20:46,160 --> 02:20:49,160
That's low for a ball. It's one and one.

1534
02:20:49,160 --> 02:20:56,160
The Dodgers will be in New York for three consecutive night games and they're followed in by the Giants.

1535
02:20:56,160 --> 02:21:01,160
They'll open up a series on Friday night. That's a weekend set.

1536
02:21:01,160 --> 02:21:06,160
One on one pitch. Swung on. It in the air to center field and Clarence Gaston goes back.

1537
02:21:06,160 --> 02:21:10,160
But there's a lot of room out there and he makes the catch near the edge of the warning track.

1538
02:21:10,160 --> 02:21:14,160
The ball is at more than 400 feet. It's 420 to the wall out there.

1539
02:21:14,160 --> 02:21:19,160
The shot's out in order. No runs, no hits, no overs, no left.

1540
02:21:19,160 --> 02:21:24,160
And in the middle of the ninth inning, the score is the Mets 2 the Padres 1.

1541
02:21:24,160 --> 02:21:30,160
Lobe Supply, Broadway and Saratoga is now offering a complete supply of toys that the kids see on TV each day.

1542
02:21:30,160 --> 02:21:35,160
They also have Aurora HO racing sets and an assortment of games and accessories.

1543
02:21:35,160 --> 02:21:40,160
Also, any hobby that you may be interested in, you'll find it at Lobe.

1544
02:21:40,160 --> 02:21:45,160
Lobe Supply is open daily from 8.30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday night until 9 p.m.

1545
02:21:45,160 --> 02:21:50,160
And it's located on Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs.

1546
02:21:50,160 --> 02:21:53,160
Life insurance is property just like your estate.

1547
02:21:53,160 --> 02:21:58,160
But in many cases life insurance doesn't have to be included in your gross estate for federal tax purposes.

1548
02:21:58,160 --> 02:22:03,160
It takes expert life insurance counseling to help you accomplish your objectives without taxing worry.

1549
02:22:03,160 --> 02:22:07,160
Your John Hancock Man is the one to turn to for expert counseling.

1550
02:22:07,160 --> 02:22:11,160
You name it, a John Hancock Man can provide you with an answer and a way.

1551
02:22:11,160 --> 02:22:15,160
It might pay you to find out what your John Hancock Man has to offer.

1552
02:22:15,160 --> 02:22:28,160
Call Benyank Lewis, 783-5571 or write Benyank, Fox J. Latham, New York.

1553
02:22:28,160 --> 02:22:31,160
We now return to New York Mets Baseball.

1554
02:22:31,160 --> 02:22:35,160
In San Diego, California, it's the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1555
02:22:35,160 --> 02:22:39,160
The New York Mets are leading the Padres by a score of 2-1.

1556
02:22:39,160 --> 02:22:41,160
Tom Sievers on the mound for the Mets.

1557
02:22:41,160 --> 02:22:45,160
A round one run, a homer by Steve Hunt on only four hits.

1558
02:22:45,160 --> 02:22:48,160
He has struck out nine and walked two.

1559
02:22:48,160 --> 02:22:50,160
Al Ferraro is up and here's the pitch.

1560
02:22:50,160 --> 02:22:55,160
Mrs. Lohan away and it's ball one.

1561
02:22:55,160 --> 02:23:02,160
Action continuing in the bullpen for the New York Mets.

1562
02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:05,160
Nate Colbert is on deck.

1563
02:23:05,160 --> 02:23:07,160
It's Cal Cooch throwing down there.

1564
02:23:07,160 --> 02:23:11,160
Swing the foul ball back over the screen into the stands behind home plate.

1565
02:23:11,160 --> 02:23:13,160
And it's one and one.

1566
02:23:13,160 --> 02:23:18,160
Ferraro has struck out, lined the third and struck out here tonight.

1567
02:23:18,160 --> 02:23:22,160
His average for the season is 2-0-9.

1568
02:23:22,160 --> 02:23:27,160
Sievers takes the sign from Duffy Dyer and here is the 1-1 pitch.

1569
02:23:27,160 --> 02:23:36,160
Outside for the ball. It's 2-1.

1570
02:23:36,160 --> 02:23:40,160
Ferraro taking a little walk around.

1571
02:23:40,160 --> 02:23:43,160
Now coming back into the batter's box and Sievers ready to work.

1572
02:23:43,160 --> 02:23:46,160
The pitch is on the way and it's foul back out of play.

1573
02:23:46,160 --> 02:23:52,160
Two balls, two strikes to Al Ferraro.

1574
02:23:52,160 --> 02:23:56,160
Unfired excello moves around to brush off the plate.

1575
02:23:56,160 --> 02:24:01,160
Ferraro still outside the batter's box.

1576
02:24:01,160 --> 02:24:05,160
Sievers ready whenever Ferraro is.

1577
02:24:05,160 --> 02:24:08,160
He's back in and waiting now and here is Sievers' pitch.

1578
02:24:08,160 --> 02:24:09,160
2-2 on the way.

1579
02:24:09,160 --> 02:24:13,160
Little high. The count runs full at 3-2.

1580
02:24:13,160 --> 02:24:20,160
So when you have a one-run lead, the thing you do not want to do is put the leadoff batter on.

1581
02:24:20,160 --> 02:24:27,160
Sievers faced with the prospect of a 3-2 pitch here.

1582
02:24:27,160 --> 02:24:29,160
The playoff pitch.

1583
02:24:29,160 --> 02:24:34,160
He walked in high and tight.

1584
02:24:34,160 --> 02:24:37,160
That is the third walk issued in this game.

1585
02:24:37,160 --> 02:24:40,160
We're going to get a pitch runner coming in here now.

1586
02:24:40,160 --> 02:24:43,160
Jose Arcea is going to run for Ferraro.

1587
02:24:43,160 --> 02:24:54,160
Arcea will run for Ferraro. That is the potential tying run.

1588
02:24:54,160 --> 02:25:02,160
Nate Cobart coming up.

1589
02:25:02,160 --> 02:25:07,160
Nate Cobart has tried to left walk and found out to the catcher.

1590
02:25:07,160 --> 02:25:11,160
He's had six home runs and that's her leading 2-1.

1591
02:25:11,160 --> 02:25:15,160
Playing and a miss. That's strike one.

1592
02:25:15,160 --> 02:25:20,160
Waiting on deck is Ali Brown. There is nobody out.

1593
02:25:20,160 --> 02:25:24,160
Cobart takes a look down to Seinman. Bob Skinner at third.

1594
02:25:24,160 --> 02:25:29,160
Lindon and Holes against the runner. Jose Arcea at first base.

1595
02:25:29,160 --> 02:25:32,160
Sievers off the stretch and here's the pitch.

1596
02:25:32,160 --> 02:25:41,160
It's hung on and missed. Strike two to Cobart.

1597
02:25:41,160 --> 02:25:43,160
That's got two runs in the third inning.

1598
02:25:43,160 --> 02:25:51,160
The Padres got one in the sixth and that's all the scoring we've had.

1599
02:25:51,160 --> 02:25:52,160
Two strike delivery.

1600
02:25:52,160 --> 02:25:54,160
The miss is outside.

1601
02:25:54,160 --> 02:25:59,160
It goes to one ball and two strikes. The right hand batting Nate Cobart batting number five.

1602
02:25:59,160 --> 02:26:08,160
And the San Diego batting order.

1603
02:26:08,160 --> 02:26:12,160
Sievers checks the runner over his left shoulder.

1604
02:26:12,160 --> 02:26:14,160
Arcea is taking the lead. One two pitch.

1605
02:26:14,160 --> 02:26:18,160
Hung on and missed. Strike out number ten for Tom Sievers.

1606
02:26:18,160 --> 02:26:29,160
Well, Lindsay, I can just hear the technical analyzers of baseball saying when you're the home team in the bottom of the ninth inning you play to tie and how come they didn't sacrifice in that spot?

1607
02:26:29,160 --> 02:26:32,160
Well, that's what the foot says. That's true.

1608
02:26:32,160 --> 02:26:42,160
I'm sure what the Padres had in mind was they had a fellow up there who had had six home runs and they were hoping he could get a hold of one and win a ballgame for them in the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1609
02:26:42,160 --> 02:26:48,160
Olly Brown is up now. He's had an infield hit, struck out and fly to left.

1610
02:26:48,160 --> 02:26:51,160
It misses the outside corner and it's ball one to Brown. Just one man up.

1611
02:26:51,160 --> 02:26:59,160
Some of the big differences with ball clubs is the fact that in this case they don't have the kind of a ball club to sustain singles in order.

1612
02:26:59,160 --> 02:27:05,160
And I'm sure that's what Preston Gomez was thinking about. He had his big home run hitter up there and he was hoping he could come through.

1613
02:27:05,160 --> 02:27:15,160
The pitcher on the ground is short. Could be a game ending double play. It has won for the first pitch out over. A double play from Harrison to Wayne Jarrett to Don Glenn Bennett.

1614
02:27:15,160 --> 02:27:23,160
It was a high hopping ground ball. Taylor May for a double play to shortstop but Harrison and the New York Mets have their victory.

1615
02:27:23,160 --> 02:27:29,160
Tom Seaver has his fifth victory. He's one of the other five game winners in the majors.

1616
02:27:29,160 --> 02:27:40,160
And that's Jim Merritt of the Cincinnati Reds. The New York Mets are tied for second place in the Eastern Division of the National League tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1617
02:27:40,160 --> 02:27:45,160
Two and one half games behind the division leading Chicago Cubs.

1618
02:27:45,160 --> 02:27:51,160
In the ninth inning. No runs, no hits, no as a walk and none left.

1619
02:27:51,160 --> 02:28:03,160
We'll be back in a moment with a final summary in totals. Right now the final score of the game is the Mets 2 and the Padres 1.

1620
02:28:03,160 --> 02:28:14,160
The finest in Italian cuisine and a wide array of steaks, chops and seafood awaits your dining pleasure at Mangino's Restaurant located in the south end of Saratoga Lake.

1621
02:28:14,160 --> 02:28:24,160
But there's a big difference between just ordinary Italian or American cuisine and Mangino's fine foods. At Mangino's your order is never prepared hours before.

1622
02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:30,160
Mangino's realize that good food cannot be heard and they ask you to give them a little time to prepare it properly.

1623
02:28:30,160 --> 02:28:38,160
All dishes are prepared to your order when your order is placed never before and it hasn't been simmering away for hours or minutes.

1624
02:28:38,160 --> 02:28:51,160
And that's the big difference at Mangino's. Why not enjoy eating Italian food the way it should be savored and done at Mangino's Restaurant located in the south end of Saratoga Lake on Route 9P just two miles from Route 9.

1625
02:28:51,160 --> 02:28:58,160
A complete line of Italian specialties are served to tempt the palate and their steaks and chops and seafood are equally as delightful.

1626
02:28:58,160 --> 02:29:10,160
Mangino's Restaurant, the home of truly fine foods, Route 9P, the south end of Saratoga Lake.

1627
02:29:10,160 --> 02:29:16,160
The New York Mets have won the first game of this four game series from the San Diego Padres by a score of 2 to 1.

1628
02:29:16,160 --> 02:29:19,160
To tell you something of how they did it, here's Ralph Kiner.

1629
02:29:19,160 --> 02:29:26,160
Well they say that Southern California and especially the San Diego area is a nice place to visit and for the New York Mets it has been over the last two years.

1630
02:29:26,160 --> 02:29:33,160
They have yet to lose a ballgame here having won six out of six and now having won one out of one in the 1970 season.

1631
02:29:33,160 --> 02:29:42,160
It wasn't easy. The Padres gave a real battle and the Mets were shut out from the fourth inning on without a base hit.

1632
02:29:42,160 --> 02:29:46,160
In fact they did not leave a man on base after the fourth inning.

1633
02:29:46,160 --> 02:29:49,160
So in the ballgame the Mets got their two runs in the third.

1634
02:29:49,160 --> 02:29:54,160
Bit of strategy in the ballgame and it did not work for the San Diego Padres.

1635
02:29:54,160 --> 02:30:01,160
Leading off the start of the inning was Tommy Agee and he singled to center field to extend his hitting streak to 12 consecutive ballgames.

1636
02:30:01,160 --> 02:30:05,160
Bud Harrelson then doubled against an over-shifted outfield.

1637
02:30:05,160 --> 02:30:13,160
An outfield shifted toward the way they played last year in 1969 and the double went in the right center field and that put Tommy Agee at third.

1638
02:30:13,160 --> 02:30:15,160
Mets with runners at second and third and no one out.

1639
02:30:15,160 --> 02:30:30,160
Leon Jones was struck out but then Art Shamsky was won figuring that Shamsky a left hand batter against the right hand starting pitcher Al Santorini would be a bigger risk than in pitching to the right hand batter Don Clendenin who followed.

1640
02:30:30,160 --> 02:30:40,160
Don has been the hottest hitter for the Mets over the past few ballgames and he came through with a single to center field to drive in the two runs that the Mets had in the ballgame.

1641
02:30:40,160 --> 02:30:52,160
Padres didn't do much with Tom Siever they got a infield base hit in the second the only one through the first five innings but in the sixth inning with one away Steve Hunt got his second home run of the season.

1642
02:30:52,160 --> 02:30:57,160
It was his second base hit of the season and the home run was the right field to make it a 2-1 ballgame.

1643
02:30:57,160 --> 02:30:59,160
Siever struggled through the seventh inning.

1644
02:30:59,160 --> 02:31:05,160
He gave up two singles with two men out but then got pinch hitter Raymond Webster to foul out.

1645
02:31:05,160 --> 02:31:10,160
In the eighth inning he worked one two three and then in the ninth inning he put the time run on.

1646
02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:12,160
That was Al Farrar who walked in the three two pitch.

1647
02:31:12,160 --> 02:31:20,160
Nate Colbert did not bunt and he was struck out and then Olly Brown hit into a double play and the Mets won the ballgame by a score of two to one.

1648
02:31:20,160 --> 02:31:23,160
We'll be back with more about the Mets in just one moment.

1649
02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:51,160
New York Mets baseball has been a feature presentation of the New York Mets baseball network and Ryan Gold Extra Dry the beer with a 10 minute head and was brought to you by STP the racers edge and by several local sports minded businessmen who hope you have enjoyed today's game and by the staff of WKHA FM 102.3 on your dial who urge you to patronize the sponsors who make these broadcasts possible.

1651
02:32:00,160 --> 02:32:25,160
This is the New York Mets baseball network.

1652
02:32:30,160 --> 02:32:31,160
Hey.
