00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers faced the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field for a Thursday afternoon game on May 30th, 1957.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Brooklyn was starting off the season well, entering this game with a 22-13 record and just a game behind the NL-leading Cincinnati Reds.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
The Dodgers were looking to make it back to the World Series for the third consecutive season under manager Walt Alston.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The Pirates were managed by Bobby Bragan and had been a below 500 team for over a decade.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
They entered this game already 15 games below 500.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:01:02,000
This audio recording is from the Dodgers Radio broadcast featuring announcers Vince Cully, Jerry Doggett, and Al Helfer.

8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Well thank you, Dorothy Collins. And hi everybody, this is Vince Cully, along with Al Helfer and Jerry Doggett here at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

9
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
We're about to bring you the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates in their holiday doubleheaders.

10
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Today's game, like all the Dodger games this year, will be brought to you by Lucky Strike, the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

11
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
It's made by the American Tobacco Company. Tobacco is our middle name.

12
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
And the F&M Schaefer Brewing Company of Brooklyn, brewers of Schaefer Beer, America's oldest lager beer.

13
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Friends, this broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Brooklyn National League Baseball Club, Inc., solely for the entertainment of our listening audience.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000

15
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000

16
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Well, on Memorial Day, we certainly hope things are just fine for you wherever you may be.

17
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Get yourself a nice cozy corner, light up a Lucky, and just spend the afternoon with us.

18
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
If you want to kick off your shoes, well you go right to it. It's your day.

19
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And for you folks who might be listening and at the same time having to work today,

20
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
well we're trying to lessen the burden and get your mind off some of the big problems and concentrate on what happens with the Dodgers and the Pirates.

21
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
In the first game, it will be Sal Magley and Vernon Law.

22
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Magley is one and one with the league, one and all against Pittsburgh, and lifetime 23 and 5.

23
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Magley's last start on May the 10th, when he lost on a Friday night to Ruben Gomez at the Polar Grounds 2-1.

24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
He has pitched only once since that time, two innings in relief.

25
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
In his only game against Pittsburgh this year, Magley was very good.

26
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
He pitched a complete game 6-1 victory.

27
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And as we said, he has a 23 and 5 lifetime record against Pirates.

28
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
For Sal Magley, this Memorial Day, he has many a memory of course in his long and illustrious career in baseball.

29
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
And Magley can just look to exactly one year ago today, made his first start for Brooklyn,

30
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
pitched four innings against Philadelphia with no decisions.

31
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So Sal Magley warming up right now for Brooklyn and for the Pirates, Vernon Law.

32
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Law is two and one against the league.

33
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
If you remember, he started against Brooklyn back in April, pitched only one inning due to a pulled muscle,

34
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
then had to give way to Bob Perky.

35
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And Perky went on to pitch a brilliant ball game.

36
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
He needed some relief in the ninth inning, but Perky got the win.

37
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
We'll see Bob Perky in the second game today.

38
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000
As far as Law is concerned against Brooklyn, in 1956 he made five unsuccessful starts against the Dodgers.

39
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
And lost three times.

40
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
His last win against Brooklyn is July of 1955.

41
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
And he defeated Brooklyn 4-1 here at Pittsburgh.

42
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Law two and one with the league.

43
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
No record with Brooklyn this year and lifetime five and seven.

44
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
This will be the tenth meeting between the two clubs.

45
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
The Dodgers have taken five out of nine.

46
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
However, here at Forksfield in Pittsburgh, the Pirates have done very well against Brooklyn.

47
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
They have taken three of five.

48
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
So this will be the tenth and the eleventh meetings between the two clubs on this Memorial Day.

49
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Marking the halfway point in their own private duel during the year.

50
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Twenty-two games played, and they will have gotten eleven down by the time the sun sets tonight.

51
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
For the Brooklyn lineup, the Dodgers having won yesterday one to nothing,

52
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
now trail the league-leading Cincinnati Redlegs by a game and a half.

53
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
For Brooklyn, Jim Gilliam leads off at second base.

54
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Gino Somoli in left field, and Duke Snyder batting third in center.

55
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Carl Perillo in the cleanup spot and right.

56
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Gil Hutt is at first base.

57
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Roy Campanella back of the plate.

58
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Peewee Reese at shortstop batting seven.

59
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Don Zimmer at third base, and the pitcher is Sal Magley.

60
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
If you notice how quiet it is here at the ballpark,

61
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
the entire crowd standing now as a prayer is being said on this Memorial Day.

62
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
However, these ceremonies are so far away from our microphones that we cannot pick them up.

63
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
So if you wish, on this special day you have certain people that you'd like to remember in your prayers,

64
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
or this might be a very good time for you to just take a minute out now

65
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
and think about them and say what you wish in your mind.

66
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
It has been done here at the ballpark, and the crowd now settles back and waits for the color guard,

67
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
and we might very well have the national anthem at any moment.

68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Until we do have the announcement, however, we'll continue now and give you the Pittsburgh Pirate lineup.

69
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
For the Pirates, Bill Mazurowski opens up at second base.

70
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Dee Fondy batting second at first, and Bob Clemente will be in right field batting third.

71
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Frank Thomas, who kind of wore the horns at the yesterday's ball game,

72
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Thomas playing first base yesterday, booted the ball and went right through his legs

73
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
despite the fact he was down on his right knee, and that turned out to be the pivotal play

74
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
for some only got the base hit to drive it in.

75
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Brooklyn went on to win one to nothing.

76
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Well, Frank Thomas, in the lineup in the cleanup spot, will find himself in left field,

77
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
at least for this first game.

78
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Gene Baker will be at shortstop.

79
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Gene Preeves at first.

80
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Bill Burton batting seventh in center field.

81
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Hank Foyle's the catcher, and Vernon Law the pitcher.

82
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Two and one with the league, no record with Brooklyn, lifetime five and seven.

83
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
A note came out of yesterday's ball game, which we will pass along to,

84
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
and since we were talking about the play concerning Frank Thomas, let's go back to it.

85
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
No score in the ball game in the eighth inning, and with two out,

86
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Jim Gilliam had a bouncing ball to Frank Thomas at first.

87
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
He went down on his right knee, tried to get his glove down to the ground.

88
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Somehow the ball squirted through and went on out into right field for a two-base error.

89
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Then, Gene Osemole had a big high bouncer over the mound, and back of the bag at second.

90
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Bill Mazurowski went over and tried to make a stab at the ball, just missed it by an inch or two.

91
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
It went out into center field, and the Dodgers won it one to nothing.

92
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
When the ball game was over, Bobby Bregan held a meeting in the Pirate Clubhouse,

93
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
locked the door, and here's what he said to the boys in substance,

94
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
I don't mind a man making an error, especially Frank Thomas, whom I could tell right away,

95
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
out in his mind the one thing I'm not going to do is let the ball go through my leg.

96
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
As we said, Thomas went down on his right knee and tried to block the ball.

97
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Nevertheless, it did get through.

98
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
He said, but what I do mind is when a ball player does not think.

99
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
And then he turned to second baseman Bill Mazurowski, and he said,

100
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
you, Bill, with a situation like that, with a potential winning run at second base and two outs,

101
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
on a bouncing ball so close to you, had you thought earlier,

102
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000
you should not have just tried to strain and grab the ball, you should have at least dove at it and knocked it down.

103
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
If you had knocked it down, which would have been an easier play for you,

104
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
you might not have gotten a batter, but the run certainly could not have scored.

105
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
And so, Bill Mazurowski, I find you $25.

106
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And that's what happened yesterday, a painful defeat for Ronnie Klein.

107
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000
He's now 0-7, a very pleasant and brilliant victory for Johnny Padres.

108
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000
The rifle fire in the background enables SunnerGuard right now,

109
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
firing off into the sky on this Memorial Day.

110
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000
As we told you earlier, we're trying to turn our back to the pregame ceremonies.

111
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Just the opposite, we'd love to pick them up for you.

112
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
However, our facilities here at Pittsburgh, which is a rather spacious ballpark,

113
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
prohibits any clear pickup by our microphones, so we'll just continue

114
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
and every now and then try and explain what's going on down at the field.

115
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,000
As of this moment, the Naval Reserve Color Guard at home plays, along with six veterans,

116
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
and we're waiting now for the announcement.

117
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
The crowd is standing.

118
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
There'll be a moment of silence here at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

119
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Might be a good chance to say your prayer right now.

120
00:08:50,000 --> 00:09:17,000
The National Anthem.

121
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:41,000
The National Anthem.

122
00:09:47,000 --> 00:10:01,000
The National Anthem.

123
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
All across the nation today in every ballpark, both major and minor leagues,

124
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
folks taking time out, and a good time it is on Memorial Day to remember those folks

125
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000
who have since departed and the great heroes who have laid down their lives

126
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
in all of our country's wars.

127
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Now the Naval Reserve Color Guard starting to leave the field,

128
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
along with the six veterans who are out there carrying the actual colors,

129
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
and in just a few minutes we'll be getting the first of two games underway.

130
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
As of this moment, however, there has not been a pregame meeting at home play.

131
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
The umpires are poised on the steps in front of a pirate dugout, and now they come out,

132
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
and Peewee Reese, of course, will leave the Dodger dugout and bring up the batting card,

133
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
and we'll have the exchange.

134
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
The Navy is in Pittsburgh in the first game of a double header.

135
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
The four umpires, Frank Secori, the plate umpire.

136
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
The round of applause in the background now as the Naval Reserve starts to march off.

137
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Frank Secori, the plate umpire.

138
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Stan Landis will be at first.

139
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Bill Baker will be at second, and Frank Daskoly at first.

140
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
In the second ballgame today, Bob Perkey and Sandy Koufax,

141
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
and that should be an interesting duel.

142
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Koufax with 45 strikeouts is really fun to watch, where he can rare back and fire.

143
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
He's tied for the National League lead with Luis Arroyo.

144
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Arroyo is due to pitch tomorrow.

145
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
However, he will be held, I'm sure, for any spot relief against left-hand batters today.

146
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
As far as Koufax is concerned, he started against the pirates twice, both in 1955.

147
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
He pitched the shutout at Brooklyn and had a no-decision ballgame here at Forbes Field.

148
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
He has not pitched at Pittsburgh since losing in relief in September of 1955.

149
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
And now the Pittsburgh Pirates take the field.

150
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:57,000
The Dodgers have played only one other doubleheader this year, and it was with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

151
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Remember, they played that one at Brooklyn.

152
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Well, the Pirates won the first ballgame 6-3, and the Dodgers came back to win the nightcaps 7-4.

153
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
We'll set the Pirates defensively for you.

154
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Out on the mound in this first game, Vernon Law, back of the play, Hank Foyles.

155
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
At first, Dee Fonby with a badly bruised hand, but he's in there.

156
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
At second, Bill Mazurowski, $25 lighter at the yesterday's game.

157
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
At short, Gene Baker and the third baseman, Gene Freed.

158
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
In the outfield, Frank Connorson left.

159
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Please center fielder Bill Burton and the right fielder, Bob Clemente.

160
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Going down to his first base coaching box, Jake Kutler, and over his third, Billy Herman.

161
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,000
So we're just a minute away from the beginning of the Memorial Day doubleheader for the Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

162
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Lucky Strike, the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked, made by the American Tobacco Company.

163
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
And remember, tobacco is our middle name.

164
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Well, Lucky Strike blowing smoke rings to you from Forksfield in Pittsburgh,

165
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
saluting our honor hospital, the Veterans Hospital at Lyons, New Jersey.

166
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
So to all you folks at the other end, wherever you may be, have a great day today.

167
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Hope things go just right for you.

168
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000
And now for Lucky Strike, in the play-by-play on a big day in baseball, here's Al Helper.

169
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Thank you very much, Ben. Hi, everybody. Big day it is.

170
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And Jim Gilliam steps up, batting a 2-5-6.

171
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Vernon Law, Big Saw Fitzberg right-hander is ready to go.

172
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Kicks off the first pitch and it's swung on.

173
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
There's a fly ball hit into left center field.

174
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Bill Burton has gone over. He's under it now.

175
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And takes it for the out.

176
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
And now the Memorial Day doubleheader here at Forksfield in Pittsburgh has begun.

177
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
One away in the top half of the first inning in Gino Simoli, who has hit out a 400-slip.

178
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
In the six games he has played in since his return to the Brooklyn lineup.

179
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Coming up to the plate.

180
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
The left fielder, Gino Simoli.

181
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Gino Simoli, whose bat has really been ripping.

182
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Hitting a 3-36. He has five home runs and 16 runs batted in.

183
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Needless to say, Frank Thomas in left field goes deep for Gino Simoli,

184
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
and the left side of the infield plays deep.

185
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Gene Freeh just off third base in the event Simoli might be trying to find his way off.

186
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Law pickers, the curve is in at the knees first strike.

187
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
The plate umpire here this afternoon for this first game of the doubleheader is Frank Sikori.

188
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Landis at first, Baker at second, and Frank Descoli, the senior umpire.

189
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
The group is down at third.

190
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Law delivers a change-up curve at the outside.

191
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Simoli's count is one ball and one strike.

192
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Throughout this big afternoon, right from the Lucky Strike scoreboard,

193
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
we'll keep you advised as to starting pickers and the progress of the other ball games

194
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
both in the national and in the American League.

195
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Law is ready again. Delivers the curve ball.

196
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
It's in under the letters right off the hands.

197
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
One ball and two strikes to count on Simoli with one out, no baserunners.

198
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Top of the first, the first game of today's doubleheader.

199
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
As Vinnie told you, we have quite a day for it here in Pittsburgh.

200
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Temperature in the 80s, a lot of bright, brilliant sunshine.

201
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Curve ball is swung on and hop back to the screen foul.

202
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Every now and then, however, a wandering gray cloud comes across the sky

203
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
and will obscure the sunlight for the moment,

204
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
but I don't think you need to worry much about it.

205
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
What little praise we do have blowing in is blowing in from center field.

206
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Taught home plate.

207
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Law is ready now. One-two, the plate, Simoli leans back, takes a high curve inside off the chin.

208
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Two balls and two strikes on Gino Simoli.

209
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
He'll be followed by Duke Snyder.

210
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And if anyone else is needed in the top half of the first inning, Carl Purlo, the lead-up man, will be up there.

211
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Star kicks, throws, Simoli swings and bounds it in the hole at third and through into left field for base hit.

212
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:39,000
So Simoli continues to hit that ball, gets the first stage hit of the afternoon, bounding single into left field.

213
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Coming up to the plate now with the sun beaming brilliantly is Duke Snyder.

214
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Duke batting at 267 as eight home runs and 17 runs batted in.

215
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:58,000
That's quite a nice crowd at Pittsburgh. It's not a capacity crowd, but there are quite a few people here.

216
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Simoli leads it out first.

217
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Soft curve as far as Snyder and he's way out ahead of it. Strike one.

218
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:16,000
After he moves and he awes from the crowd.

219
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Snyder waiting. Law checks up with Simoli at first base.

220
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Delivers the play, another soft curve and Snyder hits it from down the third.

221
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Freeds up with it, goes back to Madurovsky, second for one to throw to first.

222
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
There's the double play.

223
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
So we are like our first thousand lucky for our VA hospital at Lyons, New Jersey.

224
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Big double play. Erases everything here and they top half the first inning.

225
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Around the horn affair, five to four to three.

226
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So that's it in the first inning. Nothing crossed for Brooklyn.

227
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
The runs, one hit, no error.

228
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Nobody left on. Scorky end of half an inning. The Dodgers nothing. The Pittsburgh Pirates have nothing.

229
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Sure, light up a lucky right now as we go to the bottom of the first inning.

230
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
We had the same kind of a first inning today as yesterday.

231
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Both Gilliam yesterday and today flied up and Simoli followed with a single.

232
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
And both yesterday and today Duke Snyder hit into a double play.

233
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
So the first inning the same.

234
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Now to the bottom of the first inning, Bill Mazurovsky coming up against Sal Magley.

235
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
It's been a long time between lucky for Sal.

236
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Twenty days since his last start. So let's get right back down and find out how he does.

237
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
All ready to go to Bill Mazurovsky who is hitting a 2-0-5. He had two home runs and four runs batted in.

238
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Mazurovsky, right-hand hitter, stands just off the plate.

239
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Dirt ball to him, swung on and dribbled down the third base line.

240
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Zimmercharges picked up close the first and Mazurovsky is out.

241
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Mazurovsky one ball hitting. Gives Sal Magley his first out in the ball game.

242
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000
One away for the Pirates, last half of the first. No matter, it's Dee Fondy.

243
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Dee Fondy still suffering with that right hand, although it's well enough now to be back in regular lineup.

244
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,000
It's the outside part of his right hand that's been giving him trouble.

245
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Magley curves him and gets it over for a strike.

246
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Dee Fondy, tall left-hand hitter batting at 3.36.

247
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
That's his one home run as 11 runs batted in.

248
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Magley works to one again as a soft curve.

249
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Gets down and through the hole between first and second in the right field.

250
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Fondy is on.

251
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Oh, like yesterday's ball game. Again, the Pittsburgh Pirates get a man on the point out.

252
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Roberto Clemente coming up.

253
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Yesterday afternoon the Pirates had Mazurovsky ground out in the first inning.

254
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Then Fries got a front single, then Clemente hit into a double play.

255
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Magley stretches. Delivers the play.

256
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Clemente swings, hits a long drive deep to the left field.

257
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
It curves foul and goes into the bleacher.

258
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Long outstrike for Bob Clemente batting at 2.86.

259
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Three home runs and 19 runs batted in.

260
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Dee Fondy stepping off at first base. One out, no score.

261
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Magley checked up at first and delivers a play curve ball in their first strike.

262
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Clemente started to go and then checked up and took it.

263
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Nothing in two is to count on the Pittsburgh right fielder.

264
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Following Clemente will be Frank Thomas if he's needed.

265
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Joe Magley scowling down from the mound, gets a sign from Campanella.

266
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Delivers the side armor and trying to get away from it.

267
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Clemente steps that ball right back to the mound.

268
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Magley's got it, fires to first base, that's it for Clemente.

269
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
And Fondy moves down to second base.

270
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Actually Bob Clemente was trying to get away from a high inside curve ball.

271
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Twisted all the way around.

272
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:15,000
That's the second half of Pittsburgh here in the last half of the first inning and the batter now will be Frank Thomas.

273
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Thomas batting at 3.21. Four home runs and 19 runs batted in.

274
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Dee Fondy, who is a great deal faster than one would believe for watching him run, leads off to second base.

275
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Frank Thomas, right-hand hitter, holds that bat way down by the notch, stands off the plate, mid-wind batter's ball.

276
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Magley comes in with a crossfire and that's low and outside.

277
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:46,000
One ball and no strike.

278
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Lucky strike, very happy to be sending it to you from Orpsfield in Pittsburgh.

279
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Hope you have plenty of luckies on hand for this big holiday and for over the weekend.

280
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Curve ball, Thomas after it, it's a high pop foul off the third base side.

281
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
There goes Zimmer over to the roll of Canvich.

282
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
The bat ball fades into the crowd out of play.

283
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:12,000
One ball and one strike.

284
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Be out driving this afternoon listening to the ball game at the same time.

285
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Hope that your gloves compartment contains a carton of Lucky Strike.

286
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Number one and number two, that you'll take it real easy.

287
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Obey all the traffic rules.

288
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Come home safely.

289
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Sidearm curve ball, under the letter is good.

290
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Strike two, one ball, two strikes on Frank Thomas.

291
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Two down, one on, D. Fondy at second base.

292
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
There is no score.

293
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
We're in the last half of the first inning.

294
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,000
The Pirates at bat for Thomas up there.

295
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Magley taking time.

296
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Hides that ball behind his right knee as he leans forward to take his time.

297
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Checks back over the right shoulder looking at Fondy at second and delivers the plate.

298
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Curve ball swung on, loops out over first base.

299
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,000
If that's fair, double except foul.

300
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Looping fly ball, foul by a couple of feet out back of first base when no one could get to it.

301
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Fondy all the way around third, digging for the plate as the Ritchie Ritchie steps.

302
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Move back second.

303
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Thomas lunging on that one, broke his bat.

304
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Oh, he's back to the Pittsburgh bat rack to get another one.

305
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Bobby Bregan running his ball club from the coaches box third.

306
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
He's got his hands together, wants Frank to get a hold of one.

307
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Danny Murtagh yelling words of encouragement down from his first base coaches box.

308
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Thomas with a new war club standing in to count on him as one ball and two strikes.

309
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Two down, Fondy at second.

310
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Magley ready, delivers the plate, sidearm fixed at low and outside.

311
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Two balls and two strikes.

312
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Sonny of baseball this afternoon all over the major leagues.

313
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Bagglet blows on the fingers of his pitching hand, sort of a nervous gesture.

314
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Now he's ready.

315
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Two to pick side armor.

316
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
The curve is just high, ball three.

317
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Three balls and two strikes.

318
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Frank Secore working to plate here as the umpire and chief in the first game.

319
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Looking right over the left shoulder of Roy Campanella.

320
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Back in the sunlight, direction off the sun.

321
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Now gets down to pump the sign.

322
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Magley with a look back at Fondy, taking a short lead at second.

323
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Now he stretches set.

324
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
The plate to pitch in there and swung on.

325
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
There's a high pop-up and foul ground off to the left of the plate.

326
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Roy Campanella sort of toe-dancing around under it and he's got it.

327
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
So that's all in the last half of the first inning.

328
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Thomas, one of the big seed guns, fouls up and out to Roy Campanella.

329
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
For the Pirates, no runs. They had one base hit.

330
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
They left a runner and there were no person errors.

331
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
The score at the end of one inning of play.

332
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,000
It's the Dodgers nothing, the Pirates nothing.

333
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
The big thing all of us have been waiting for is help from Duke Schneider's best.

334
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Duke has never been a good spring hitter.

335
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I can think of only one season which Duke got off to a good start in the spring.

336
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
However, in the last couple of games, the big guy has come alive.

337
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000
In Philadelphia on Monday night, he had one of the longest home runs of his career.

338
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
And on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, Duke got three hits.

339
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Yesterday, Duke didn't get any hits, but he did hit the ball well that went for us.

340
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Luckily for us, we have been going pretty good without the Dukes hitting.

341
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Thanks to Carl Perillo and Gil Hodges.

342
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Now with Schneider hitting again, I think we're about ready to make our move.

343
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Well spoken, Captain Reese.

344
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Say, friends, I have a suggestion for you before we focus back on the ball game.

345
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Friends, light up a lucky and enjoy the genuine pleasure of a genuine cigarette.

346
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000
You'll say a lucky is the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

347
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
No score on the ball game at the end of one inning.

348
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Carl Perillo is coming up to start inning number two against Vernon Law.

349
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
So let's get right back to Al.

350
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Carl Perillo is still holding down the cleanup spot for the Brooklyn Dodgers,

351
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
hitting in the number four slot.

352
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
He's batting at 329, has five home runs and 33 runs batted in.

353
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
At age for the moment, Carl has lost the leadership in the RBI department of the Major Leagues,

354
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
and rest assured that Carl will be back there battling for it.

355
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Vernon Law delivers to him and Carl's after.

356
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Hits a bounding ball to second base.

357
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Mazarski charges up with a post to first base and Diamond Perillo is up.

358
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,000
So Carl, if their first ball hitting, comes the first out to second inning.

359
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000
The Dodgers send up Gil Hodges now, a big right-hand hitting first baseman,

360
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
who has filtered them safely now in 12 consecutive ball games.

361
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Gil's batting average still hanging around at 340.

362
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,000
He's hitting at 338, has five home runs and 20 runs batted in.

363
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Hags for it, down above the sign to right-hander Vernon Law.

364
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Hodges gets his spikes ground in.

365
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Law can do a little overhand curve ball, and that's a sweeper that's outside and low for ball one.

366
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Law sets, delivers one and all.

367
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Soft curve floats in and over into the letters.

368
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Count is one ball and one strike.

369
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
We have verification on just one ball game after the American League.

370
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
The Yankees at Washington, ball game has already started.

371
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
The Yankees fail to score on the top of the first.

372
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
LC cuts to the Yankees and it's first foul for Washington.

373
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Thank you, Allen.

374
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Fix is hung on by Gil Hodges and hammered down into the ground foul.

375
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
He's a second strike.

376
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,000
One ball and two strikes.

377
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,000
News comes in now that Washington did not score in the last half of the first inning,

378
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:55,000
so that first game between the Yankees and Washington, 0-0.

379
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,000
LC cut, and Commedial puts foul to opposing pitches.

380
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Now Hodges, after having stepped away from the plate to get himself squared away, moves back in.

381
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
One out for the Dodgers, top of the second, there's no score.

382
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Just getting underway nicely here in the first game off today's double header,

383
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Forbes, Field, and Fitzburg.

384
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Lucky strike, very happy to be profaned to you from Steel City.

385
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Overhand fastball, ripped down to the right side, Montrasky along the rim of the grass,

386
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
reaches down, picks up, blows to first.

387
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:32,000
That's not good.

388
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Two down as Montrasky has been a busy guy here in the top of the second inning.

389
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Moving up to the plate now, Roy Campanella.

390
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Can't be fighting a 2-42, has six home runs and 21 runs slatted in.

391
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Right hand hitter, up the bend a little bit at the knees.

392
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Waits for Vernon Law, the tall right-hander, to cut the first pitch loose.

393
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Humps one time, kicks and throws, an overhand curve, and Camp is striding in, takes it high for ball one.

394
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
One ball and no strikes.

395
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Law comes right back to him and Campanella takes that sweeping curve ball,

396
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
and it's at the knees on the outside corner for strike one.

397
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
One ball and one strike, two down, no baserunners, top of the second.

398
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
The Dodgers at back, Campy up there, there is no score.

399
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Law pitches him a fastball and Campanella feels it foul off to the right of the plate.

400
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,000
That'll go to the crowd out of play.

401
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:42,000
One ball, two strikes.

402
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Campy stand right in batter's box, weaving that chaleli back and forth.

403
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Law throws the fastball and fires it right through for a double strike three.

404
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
So that winds it up for Brooklyn here in the top of the second inning.

405
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Campanella, it's all out on strikes.

406
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
That'll be the first strike out for Law and his twelfth this year.

407
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Oh, nothing across for Brooklyn in the second inning.

408
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
So at the end of an inning and a half, it is the Dodgers nothing, the Pittsburgh Pirates nothing.

409
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
But you've got something, Ben, what is it?

410
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Well, we have the correct time here in Pittsburgh, 1.25, or as we say in New York, 25 minutes after one.

411
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,000
There, that means it's light up time, time to enjoy the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

412
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Lucky strikes.

413
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Yes sir, every time you light up a Lucky, you can expect just that, better taste.

414
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
And the reasons? Well, they're easy.

415
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
A Lucky's all cigarettes, all fine tobacco.

416
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Naturally mild tobacco that's good tasting to begin with.

417
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000
And then it's toasted to taste even better.

418
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.

419
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:53,000
No doubt about it, that's why you'll say a Lucky's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

420
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Get a station break in right now, we'll pause the station identification.

421
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.

422
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Dial 1460WOKO for the Brooklyn Dodger games.

423
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
And write to WOKO for the complete Dodger schedule of games at home and away.

424
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Yours free for the asking.

425
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
And if you have your name and address, write Baseball WOKO Albany, New York.

426
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
126WOKO time.

427
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Alright, station break has been disposed of so we can continue now.

428
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Last of the second inning, no score on the ball game.

429
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Sal Magley and Ernie Law.

430
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Dean Baker coming up and here's Al.

431
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Baker's hitting number five in the Pittsburgh order this afternoon at short start.

432
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Starting at 268.

433
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
He has two home runs from 16 runs batted in.

434
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
He's a choke hitter, backs him a very severe crotch,

435
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
a big wide spread apart and has his chin right down over the rubber of home play.

436
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Magley's fastball is cracked through there and Baker takes it for a strike.

437
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:53,000
He's in a very small strike zone here, Ernie.

438
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Boy, he leans over.

439
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Magley ready to go.

440
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Delivers a soft curve.

441
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,000
It sits right down on one half at third base and it's hollow.

442
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Baker, not believing the call by Daskoly down at third base.

443
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Charges right down to first.

444
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Made he turn.

445
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Shots in the second.

446
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Like the fact that first base on fire, Landon tried to stop him.

447
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Finally, Baker, Bill Baker, second base on fire.

448
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
With the halftrees forward, charged down at second.

449
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Baker comes all the way back.

450
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Counted his no balls with two strikes.

451
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Now the crowd settling back.

452
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000
They thought Baker had drilled one just outside third.

453
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Could have been foul-boarded quarter-cell.

454
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Magley's ready, comes down, oh, two with a curveball that drives Baker back.

455
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:08,000
One ball and two strikes.

456
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Baker will be followed by Freeze, who is on deck right now.

457
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Curveball, hit down on two halfs for Reese.

458
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000
He's up with it, throws to first and Baker is out.

459
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Went away for the Pirates in the last half of the second inning.

460
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Here will be King Freeze hitting number six in the pirate order.

461
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
The percentage stands at 235.

462
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,000
He has one home run and seven runs batted in.

463
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:44,000
His right-hand hitter plants his right foot first and then gets the rest of his body set in just about a straightaway stand.

464
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Works up on the handle of the wood a couple of inches.

465
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Magley's curve finds its way in off the fifth, good on the inside corner for strike one.

466
00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Don Zimmer expecting Freeze may try to punt, as he did yesterday, going up shallow at third.

467
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Magley's set.

468
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Getting right to fetch, Freeze after.

469
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000
It's a hot fly ball to left field, Geno Somoli gliding around under that there and holds it down.

470
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Part number two, second inning.

471
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Tractor still empty and Bill Burton, who has been dropped down to hit in the number seven slot.

472
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Moving on, left-hand hitting center fielder.

473
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Burton batting a 204.

474
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
He's really having a time of it.

475
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Last year, batting percentage rose quite high.

476
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,000
This year he's been having trouble getting the bait hit.

477
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Magley comes into him with a soft curve and Burton promptly hits it on a couple of hops for second.

478
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Gilliam charges, picks up, snaps his throw to first.

479
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Burton is out and throws a pirate.

480
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000
All very quickly, buckhoes go.

481
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Nothing across, caught at the end of two.

482
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Hits the Dodgers nothing, but Pittsburgh Pirates have nothing.

483
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Finney?

484
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Well friends, here it is Memorial Day and of course that means in less than a month there will be thousands of youngsters heading into their summer vacation.

485
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Many of them will be going to summer camp.

486
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
How about that youngster of yours, mom and dad, huh?

487
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Does he like a camp where sports are highlighted?

488
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Where expert coaching and the sport of his choice helps him get his letter next year?

489
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Does he like to swim or fish, golf, play basketball, tennis, baseball, football or maybe even run crack events?

490
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Well, if he enjoyed sports and you want him to be part of a well-disciplined, well-planned competitive program,

491
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000
well friends, honestly, you just couldn't find a better camp than Dodger Town at Bureau Beach, Florida

492
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,000
full facilities of the Dodgers wonderful training base with all the extra relaxation to put at his command.

493
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Drop a line to the Dodgers, 215 Montague Street in Brooklyn and ask them all about Dodger Town.

494
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000
You know there are only a few spots left on the enrollment ledgers, so be sure you send your letter right away.

495
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Dodger Town, camp for boys, Bureau Beach SLA.

496
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Wouldn't mind kind of walking along that Bureau Beach sand right now, just looking out at the ocean like the most big white cat's break.

497
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Let that wet sand go to ooze through your toes.

498
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
And then watch the sunset later on.

499
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Uh huh.

500
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
I'll go quietly.

501
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Come on, let's go.

502
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Alright.

503
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Stepping up to the plate now in the top half of third inning, D.W. Reese is the last third of the Brooklyn batting order.

504
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Brennan Law comes in with the first pitch.

505
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
The Reese has slammed down the shortstop on two big hops.

506
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Gene Becker's got it, fires the first base.

507
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Blondie and that's all for Reese.

508
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000
One up, one down.

509
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:45,000
This ball game, especially the double header here this afternoon, seems to be sort of following the script of yesterday's ball game, which was so finely pitched between Klein and Pundress.

510
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Don Zimmer coming up for his first whack out this afternoon.

511
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
With one out, nobody on in the third inning.

512
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Each side has just one base hit, neither team has been able to score.

513
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Actually there hasn't been a run of the third.

514
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,000
The curve ball is good. Zimmer for strike one.

515
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Fires from the first inning, has defunded, moved down to second base.

516
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
That's as far as anybody's been able to get.

517
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Top curve, swung on by Zimmer and Mist.

518
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
He takes the low one.

519
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Strike two.

520
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:25,000
No balls, two strikes.

521
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Fires fast ball and Zimmer promptly hits it through the hole.

522
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Going first and second in the right field for a single.

523
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,000
That's second hit for the Dodgers.

524
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Now with Zimmer at first base and one out, the batter is Sal Magley.

525
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,000
We're waiting for Sal to come out of the Dodger Dugout.

526
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Magley has a batman this year that's had just one base hit in eight tries.

527
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
He's had no runs batted in.

528
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Batting at 125.

529
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Had quite a kick out of Magley.

530
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
He doesn't swing it.

531
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Well that batty sort of chops or tomahawk to the pitch.

532
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
I asked him about that one time.

533
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
He said just saw it falls behind the infield.

534
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000
He said that one's in pretty good shape.

535
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
He bumps this pitch however and defunding.

536
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Makes a sliding stop as he comes in.

537
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Picks up and throws back to his second base for Masurowski.

538
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Covering, the sacrifice works.

539
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Zimmer goes down to second base.

540
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Bondi has to strike himself and slide along the grass to stop up.

541
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Second out in the top third.

542
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Zimmer second now and we go to the top of the batting order to pick up Jim Gilliam.

543
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Jim flies to center in the first inning to Burden.

544
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
So he's all for one.

545
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Gilliam 254 looking for his 41st base hit of the year.

546
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Lahr checks up with the runner at second.

547
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Delivers and Gilliam takes a lot of fastball low and outside to ball one.

548
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Gilliam waving at Wood around as a left hand hitter against this right hand pitcher.

549
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Delivers.

550
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
There's a pitch low to Gilliam.

551
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Ball two.

552
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Two balls and no strikes.

553
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Don Zimmer who runs the bases pretty well is on his second in pretty good scoring position.

554
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000
They're two down.

555
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,000
The Dodgers are batting atop the third of the scoreless ball game.

556
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Lahr going against Sal Magley.

557
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Lahr kicks the pitch loose.

558
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Gilliam after it with another high fly ball.

559
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,000
This one's to left center field.

560
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Frank Thomas coming over.

561
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
He's under it and he takes it.

562
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
So that's all for Gilliam and the Dodgers and the Thread in the third inning.

563
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
The runs one hit.

564
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,000
The Dodgers lead their first man.

565
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000
And the score at the end of two and one half innings of play.

566
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Remains the Dodgers nothing.

567
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates have nothing.

568
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaking to us, Ben Schuller.

569
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Well friends, when does a batter call a pitcher an iron mic?

570
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Well, it's when the pitcher's having an off day.

571
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
When he's easier to hit than iron mic, the pitching machine.

572
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:07,000
But you know, after the ball game, both pitcher and batter have the same name for genuine smoking enjoyment.

573
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
For a genuine cigarette.

574
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
And that of course is lucky strike.

575
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Why luckies?

576
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Well, here's why.

577
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
You see, a lucky is all cigarettes.

578
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
All fine tobacco.

579
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Mild, naturally, good tasting tobacco that's toasted to taste even better.

580
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.

581
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Have you tried a lucky lately?

582
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Well friends, if you haven't, you try one right now.

583
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:36,000
And you'll say, like all of us say, it's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.

584
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Just breezing along here in Pittsburgh.

585
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
No score at the end of two and a half innings of play.

586
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Sal Magley and Vernon Law.

587
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Second game, it'll be Sandy Kovacs and Bob Perkins.

588
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Now to the bottom of the third, here's Al.

589
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
The number eight hitter in the Pittsburgh order, catcher Hank Foyles.

590
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Will be coming up to the plate, batting a 266.

591
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000
He has three home runs for the year and has ten runs batted in.

592
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Following Foyles, we'll have the pitcher Vernon Law, and then we'll skip off to the top of the pirate batting order to pick up Del Mazurostro.

593
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Sal Magley, ready to go to work here in his 80 degree temperature, and it's a sandy day here in Falks Field in Pittsburgh.

594
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Go wherever you are, just as pretty and just as pleasant.

595
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Sidearm curved, and Foyles, the right-hand hitter, is outside, football one.

596
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Magley takes his time.

597
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Over his head he goes, delivers, another curve ball.

598
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
This one's hit on two hops, down to short.

599
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Reese waits for it to come to him, then fires over to first and plenty of time and Foyles is up.

600
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
One away in the last half of the third inning.

601
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
The batter now will be Vernon Law.

602
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
As the batsman, Law is hitting at 400.

603
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
He has four, four tens.

604
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,000
He has no home runs.

605
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
He has two runs batted in.

606
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
He flipped that ball pretty well for you.

607
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
All slender right-handers.

608
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:01,000
As he steps up to the plate, he looks down to third base to see what Bobby Bregan might have in mind.

609
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Magley already has his sign, ready to go to work, as Zimmer crawls in from third.

610
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:12,000
The pitch is under the knees to Vernon Law for ball one.

611
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Following today's doubleheader with Pittsburgh Pirates, the sidearm curve.

612
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,000
That's over to the knees for strike one.

613
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Following this doubleheader, the Crookman Dodgers will climb on a rattle tonight and be headed to Philadelphia for tomorrow night's game,

614
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
on Browning Mac Stadium.

615
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Sidearm pitch at the knees good for strike two.

616
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Count on Law as one ball and two strikes.

617
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Then on Saturday night, the Dodgers play the Phillies again.

618
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,000
That game will be TV'd right back to New York over Channel 9.

619
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Sidearm pitch swung on.

620
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
There's a slow-bounding ball down to a third.

621
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Haring is on.

622
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Zura picked up, goes underhand, and it's just in time.

623
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Law is out.

624
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Second out here in the last half of third inning.

625
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:03,000
The bases are empty and Bill Mazurowski comes up to the plate.

626
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Sunday afternoon, ball game between Philadelphia and Brooklyn and on Monday night,

627
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:14,000
there will be another TV'd right back to New York.

628
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Channel 9, one of the 25 road games being sent back, two fine co-sponsors.

629
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Sidearm pitch to Mazurowski is a little high and a little outside for ball one.

630
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Every time the ball games in Philadelphia, one to be televised, will be 7.55.

631
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,000
That will be on Saturday night and Monday night.

632
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Magley's sidearm pitch drives Mazurowski back to the plate.

633
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:48,000
So Bill's count is ball two.

634
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Magley's taking plenty of time between pitches.

635
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:56,000
The thing about this veteran, he really knows how to pace himself.

636
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Mazurowski waits.

637
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Sidearm pitch is outside, ball three.

638
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Magley hasn't walked anybody, but he's in danger of passing Bill Mazurowski here in the third inning with two down and the bases empty.

639
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Scoreless ball game is Magley fires low, ball four.

640
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
So the leadoff man walks.

641
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000
That's the first base on balls given up by Magley.

642
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,000
That will be the tenth one he's put in the books this year.

643
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Coming up to the plate now will be Dee Fondy, who has the only hit given up by Magley.

644
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:33,000
In the first inning with one out, Fondy hit a ball through the hole between first and second and into right field for a single.

645
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Head up to his batting percentage to 3.41.

646
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Left-hand hitter, feet wide, spread apart, stands about midway in batter's box all the way around.

647
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Magley checks his runner, Mazurowski, delivers the play, Fondy takes the pitches outside, the ball one.

648
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Mazurowski playing it right close to the vest for a space.

649
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Just holds the inside corner on him.

650
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Magley gets his sign and glares over it first.

651
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Mazurowski takes his lead. Magley to his set position, delivers, Fondy swings and bounces it far down to the right of the plate.

652
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:24,000
One ball and one strike on first baseman Dee Fondy.

653
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Headlong talk with Dee just before the ball game started, sitting down on the pirate's bench.

654
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:34,000
He likes it here in Pittsburgh.

655
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:41,000
He gives Pittsburgh his vote over Chicago.

656
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Big fella pumps that bat around.

657
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Likeable guy this Fondy.

658
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Fetch to end the swing on, there's a land drive in the right field, it's in for a base hit.

659
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Mazurowski moves down to second and holds on as Ferrello's flow comes in to get him.

660
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:04,000
So Fondy is 2 for 2. And with 2 down the Pirates now have runners at first and second.

661
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,000
And the batter is Bob Clemente.

662
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,000
So the partisan Pittsburgh crowd here for field.

663
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Jumping up and figuring maybe the Pittsburgh Pirates have something to do.

664
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Bob Clemente coming up for his second at bat in the afternoon. In the first inning he tried to get away from a high inside curve ball.

665
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,000
The ball hit the bat and tapped it back to the left of the mound and Sal Magley threw him out.

666
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Bob's hitting a 2.84. Swim to right hand stickers.

667
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Mazurowski leads off at second base, Fondy first.

668
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Fetch Clemente swings, hits it tight back to second base.

669
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Gilliam up with it, throws to reach on the short hop and it's got Fondy.

670
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
So that retires the side.

671
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Clemente forcing up, Fondy at second base.

672
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,000
From Gilliam to reach.

673
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Over the Pirates, a threat and that's it.

674
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,000
No runs, one hit. Coupled with the watch, two men were left on and there were no errors.

675
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
The score at the end of three innings of play.

676
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
The first game of the double header at Forksfield in Pittsburgh.

677
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,000
The Dodgers nothing, the Pirates nothing.

678
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Gino Somoli has the only base hit given up so far by, correction, he has one of the two base hits given up by Vernon Law.

679
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Zimmer has the other.

680
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Gino Somoli leading it off, he got the first base hit of the ball game.

681
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Gino batting at 3.42, takes a high curve ball off the shoulder for ball one.

682
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Somoli, Snyder and Ferillo in that order in the top half of the fourth inning.

683
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Scoreless ball game and quite a pitching duel so far between Vernon Law on the Mount Mount for Pittsburgh and Sal Magley.

684
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Curve ball hit just inside third base, hits headed to the left field corner.

685
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Gino Somoli is digging fast first, he's on his way to second with those long strides.

686
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Thomas Oppy still comes into third.

687
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Somoli has doubled.

688
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,000
That ball was hit just there inside third base.

689
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Law's given up his third base hit. Somoli has two of them.

690
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Duke Snyder coming along.

691
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Nobody out, top of the fourth, Somoli leading off with a double.

692
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Ripped past third and down into left field corner.

693
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Duke Snyder hit into a double play in the first inning, he's 0-1 batting at 2.65.

694
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Law delivers to him a soft curve and it comes right up the middle in the center field for a base hit.

695
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Somoli comes to third, Herman says keep on going boy and Somoli comes in to score the first one.

696
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Snyder singles to center field driving the first run of the ball game.

697
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Gino Somoli coming across.

698
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,000
That will be hit number four, run number one off Law and the Dodgers now lead it one to nothing.

699
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,000
The batter is Carl Ferrello.

700
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:54,000
For Snyder, there at first base, he has his 18th run batted in this year.

701
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
One to nothing Brooklyn, top of the fourth inning.

702
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Carl Ferrello is 0-1. He started the second inning rolling out to the right side.

703
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:14,000
23-27, leans back from a fast ball and takes it off the chest for ball one.

704
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Lucky strike sent into the action, fourth field.

705
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:26,000
And when it comes right up time for you, let's hope you're enjoying our lucky.

706
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Fast ball hit down to the right side, Masurowski's got it, clips over to Baker for one and he returns for the first for double play.

707
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:38,000
That's the second double play, the Pittsburgh Pirates come up with, that'll boost their total now to 36

708
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:45,000
and that'll send a thousand luckies to our VA hospital at Lions, New Jersey.

709
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Four to six to three on the double play if you're keeping score with us.

710
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,000
The other two down in the fourth inning, the bases are now empty.

711
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Coming up to the plate is Gil Hodges.

712
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
One to nothing favor Brooklyn.

713
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Somoli let off of the double, Snyder single him in.

714
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,000
The pitch is swung on, there's a high foul ball hit off to the left side of the plate.

715
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000
That'll fade to the crowd and go out of play.

716
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Strike one on Gil.

717
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Hodges was thrown out, his first setback by second baseman Bill Masurowski.

718
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:29,000
He has a 12-game hitting streak on the line this afternoon, batting in 3-36.

719
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Now he sets some pitches, high and outside.

720
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:45,000
One ball and one strike.

721
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
In rides the next pitch, a fastball, a little outside, a little low.

722
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Hodges started to go and changed his mind.

723
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Two balls and one strike.

724
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,000
O'Brien an infielder is down in the Pittsburgh bullpen throwing.

725
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Maybe that he'll come into the ball game for Pittsburgh.

726
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Somebody from the bench apparently has given Frank Shikora plate umpire a little jockeying.

727
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:17,000
He pulls his mask off and turns around and looks into the Pittsburgh dugout.

728
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Now we're ready to count if two balls one strike on Gil Hodges.

729
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Two down, the bases empty, one to nothing Brooklyn.

730
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:28,000
O'Brien and Law bends that right soup bone, curve a swing on and missed for a strike two.

731
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Two balls and two strikes.

732
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,000
All right back to Hodges, swings on the pitch and sends a high bounder to second base.

733
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Masurowski charges, grabs, flips, first.

734
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Hodges is out, metric, eyes aside.

735
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:55,000
The fourth inning produces one run for the Brooklyn Dodgers on a double and a single hit back to back.

736
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Somoli leading it off and trying to get him in.

737
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
There were no errors.

738
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Nobody left on thanks to the double play.

739
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Score at the end of three and a half innings.

740
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:15,000
First game it is the Dodgers one, the Pittsburgh Pirates have nothing.

741
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Last of the fourth inning, one nothing Brooklyn, Frank Thomas coming up right back to Al.

742
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Thomas has been up once today.

743
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
He retired to third in the first inning following up to Roy Campanella.

744
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Big right hand hitter, likely with one run to go on delivers and Thomas swings on it.

745
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Get a hold of it, there's a long jolt going deep to the floorboard in left field.

746
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Frank Thomas hits his fifth home run of the year, drives in his 20th run and he really pulled like Suttman.

747
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,000
All up over the clock, left floorboard in straight away left field.

748
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,000
All the way out on the Schinley oval.

749
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Right out into the park.

750
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Oh that's the second hit in the first run.

751
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Off back lead, it's all tied up at one of B.

752
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Here's Baker up there backing off from a curve ball that flips in an over first strike.

753
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Baker over one.

754
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:28,000
All tied at one of B.

755
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Overhand curve is outside and low.

756
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Baker's count one and one.

757
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
And to the great leveler, the home run.

758
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,000
The great equalizer.

759
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Magnet comes down again, Baker starts to chase a little curve and then decides to take it. Ball two.

760
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Two balls in one strike.

761
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Baker hitting a 266.

762
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Magnet scowling down from the mound, looks at this choke hitter.

763
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Delivered him a curve, that's low.

764
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Baker again started to go.

765
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Changed up in time.

766
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Two balls in one strike.

767
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Frank Thomas home run.

768
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Here marks another thousand lucky for our VA hospital at Lyons.

769
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Back lead sidearm curve, reach ball and foul shift.

770
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
That's strike two.

771
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Two strikes.

772
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Down in the Brooklyn bullpen.

773
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Right hander, Eddie Roebuck up and throwing.

774
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Magnet delivers three-two.

775
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Fitch is swung on and hit down the reach.

776
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Oh, it's too hot.

777
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
The captain's got it.

778
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Whistles and throw to first base.

779
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Baker is out.

780
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:07,000
What a way in the last half of the fourth inning of the tie-up ball game.

781
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Gene Fries coming up for his second at-back.

782
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,000
In the second he flies to left field to Gino Somoli.

783
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Fries batting at 232.

784
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
I guess you just hooked up with it.

785
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers had things break their way in the top half of the fourth when Somoli doubled past third in the left field corner.

786
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Snyder's single to get him home as they fix to Fries high inside, ball one.

787
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,000
And Perillo hit into a double play and Rogers rolled out to the right side.

788
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Going into the last half of the fourth inning, the Dodgers had a one-run ball.

789
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Frank Thomas proceeded to lift one high and deep over the left field wall scoreboard and clock to tie it up.

790
00:54:47,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Inside curve ball off the knee is McAdams two balls and no strikes now to Gene Fries.

791
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,000
Fries waiting fashionably.

792
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Maggley ready to work to him.

793
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
The two-nothing delivery.

794
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Soft curve in there for the strike.

795
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Two and one.

796
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,000
One out, the base is empty.

797
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Last half of the fourth inning.

798
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates hit back.

799
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Here in the first game of the doubleheader at fourth field in Pittsburgh.

800
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Maggley sidearm fastball.

801
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Swung on, hit back foul.

802
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:41,000
What a catch made by a young lady sitting right down to the right of the screen.

803
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Two balls, two strikes.

804
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Down on Gene Fries.

805
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Bill Burton hanging around to hit next.

806
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Maggley ready.

807
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
Red herring pump step one time.

808
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Delivers an overhand curve.

809
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,000
It's swung on the mid-foot strike three.

810
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:06,000
It's Maggley's first strike out.

811
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Two down for the Pirates.

812
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Last half of the fourth inning and the batter will be Bill Burton.

813
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:16,000
A pounding ball to kill him in the second inning, closed up things for Pittsburgh and for him, so he's up there now.

814
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Batting at two oh two.

815
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Left hand hitter.

816
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Maggley works down to this young fellow.

817
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Burton leans and doesn't offer and a pitch is in there anyway.

818
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,000
No balls and one strike.

819
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Philadelphia and New York.

820
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Nothing, nothing.

821
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000
First inning of their first game.

822
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Pitch, fix the corner.

823
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Knee high on the outside.

824
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,000
Back strike two.

825
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,000
No balls, two strikes.

826
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Lucky strike.

827
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Very happy to be sending it to you from Pittsburgh.

828
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Looker, swung on the mid strike three.

829
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,000
That's the second strike out.

830
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Maggley closes up shop for Pittsburgh in the fourth inning, but not before they pick up a run to tie up the ball game on Thomas' home run.

831
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,000
That was a hit in the inning.

832
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
No errors and nobody was left on.

833
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
So the score at the end of four full innings of play.

834
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
It's the Dodgers one.

835
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:27,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates have won.

836
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,000
The FNM Schaeffer day, we move into the top half of the fifth inning with Campanella coming up.

837
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Stepping up for the FNM Schaeffer Brewing Company for the play by play, Vince Gulley.

838
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Thank you.

839
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Hi everybody.

840
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Campanella checks his swing and the curve ball bites off the outside corner for a strike.

841
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Owen Wanderoy who struck out in the second inning batting 240.

842
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,000
A 1-1 tie in the fifth inning.

843
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,000
We're all back with a slow curve.

844
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
This cut on a high foul, spinning back towards Dinette.

845
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:58,000
And goes back into the crowd and a young fellow in a striped portrait makes a one-hand catch.

846
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Going through the count.

847
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Campanella, Reese, and Zimmer.

848
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:08,000
The way Bretman comes up here in the fifth inning of a 1-1 tie in the first game of two.

849
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Law comes right back, 0-2.

850
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Canby belts it to left center field.

851
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:16,000
Going over is Frank Thomas and Phil Verdon is going to bounce over into the ivy up against the light tower.

852
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Verdon bobbles the ball momentarily.

853
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Campanella goes to second and then holds there.

854
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Dean Baker runs the relay back towards the infield.

855
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,000
So Campanella rips one to deepest left center.

856
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Well over 400 feet away as it bounced against the ivy and then right into the corner where the light stanchion is.

857
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Tell you how far away it is.

858
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,000
They usually put the batting cage out there, figuring it will not be in the way.

859
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
And that ball was only about 20 feet to the left of the cage.

860
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Campanella, long double to left center.

861
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Hit number five off Vernon Law.

862
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Nobody out on the batter, Peewee Reese.

863
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Peewee hitting 195, bounced out short to first in the third inning.

864
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,000
He's 0-1.

865
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
The outfield on Reese about straight away.

866
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Clemente is up a step or two and right.

867
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Law checks second and delivers and Reese has to shy away from a pitch high and inside for one.

868
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Giants leading the Phillies at the end of two innings, one to nothing.

869
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Andre Rodgers hits a home run.

870
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,000
He's probably playing third base.

871
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,000
That was Bill Rigney's idea.

872
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Move out the verge of the left field.

873
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,000
One-0 pitch to Reese's slice foul, way down the right field.

874
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Line bangs off the upper deck facade and nestles down below.

875
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Washington with their three-game winning streak and I imagine they should be proud of it.

876
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Gee, things have been going pretty miserable for Cookie, Lavagetto and crew.

877
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Well they won three straight and they lead the Yankees 2-0 at the end of three innings.

878
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,000
The Moleys red-sots 2-0 at the end of one inning.

879
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,000
No report of the other two games out west, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City and Detroit.

880
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
The 1-1 pitch to Reese, a slow curve outside and low, ball through, 2-1.

881
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Cause of the time difference, nothing to report to you about the Cubs and Milwaukee and Cincinnati and St. Louis.

882
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,000
We'll duck them in all day for you.

883
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,000
2-1 to Reese, Campanella at second base, nobody out on the fifth inning of a 1-1 tie.

884
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Law comes to the plate and Reese takes low, ball three, 3-1.

885
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Peewee just waiting at the plate, Law gonna make him wait.

886
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Campanella hands on his hip, pinching away off second base.

887
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Law ready, now the 3-1 pitch to Reese, caught on a hot one to the hole and through for a face hit.

888
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Campanella goes to third, Clemente Guns is thrown, he'll hold him at third.

889
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
A one-pouncer to the plate by Bob Clemente.

890
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,000
So Billy Herman, wisely holding Campanella at third.

891
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:00,000
So Reese a single to right, Campanella goes to third and holds there.

892
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Reese in going down the line might have pulled a muscle in his leg.

893
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,000
And he's giving way to Charlie Neal at first base.

894
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:17,000
And Reese showing disgust with the breaks of the game, gonna reaches down and picks up some grass and with his head down pops off the field.

895
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:22,000
So Peewee pulled a muscle, he's not limping too much but you know it's there.

896
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
And he seems to be on the disgusted side as he comes back to the dugout.

897
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:33,000
So Charlie Neal takes over running for Peewee Reese.

898
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,000
So Reese is out hurting his leg if we get any further report.

899
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:45,000
He did not limp coming off but apparently he pulled something, he felt something give.

900
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Now that run is at first and third, nobody out, Don Zimmer the batter who promptly swings and runs your back foul, 0-1-1.

901
01:01:53,000 --> 01:02:00,000
So Peewee having a very bad spring, started late before he could get into the lineup due to injuries.

902
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:10,000
And now here at Forbes Field, a finally pulled a muscle in his leg and gives way to Charlie Neal.

903
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,000
The strike one pitch to Zimmer, he half waves at an outside pitch but just does check his swing.

904
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:21,000
One ball, one strike.

905
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
They could move that infield around a bit, we're waiting to see how they do it.

906
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:32,000
A couple of possibilities with Reese out, one and one to Zimmer.

907
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,000
For Pitch now, Don swings and fouls that one away, one and two.

908
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:42,000
It could be that Neal would play second base, Gilliam would play third and Zimmer play short.

909
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:48,000
Neal last year, you remember, played a little bit of shortstop so he could just take over for Reese.

910
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,000
We're waiting to see.

911
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,000
Nobody out running at first and third in the fifth inning of a 1-1 tie.

912
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Neal inching off the bag at first, Campanella from third.

913
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,000
The pitch to Zimmer in the dirt and blocked nicely by Hank Foyles.

914
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Two and two.

915
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:08,000
We owe a station break so after Zimmer has had his hat back, we'll duck it in.

916
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Hope you've ducked in plenty of cheaper beer in the refrigerator to keep it nice and cold.

917
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,000
Two-two pitch to Don Zimmer, cut on a fly ball into fairly shallow right center.

918
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Flametti going over, Campanella tags, Flametti with the ball, here comes Campanella.

919
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Here comes the throw to the plate, he flies, he saves.

920
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,000
The ball is backed up with the plate by Vernon Law and down to second goes Charlie Neal.

921
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Hank Foyles tried to block the plate and Campanella ripped right under him.

922
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:43,000
The ball squirted away and the lurch fielding by Vernon Law prevented Neal from taking an extra base.

923
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,000
So Zimmer, a fly ball into right center to Bob Flametti for the outs.

924
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Campanella tags up and brings in the run and Neal advances to second base.

925
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,000
So gives Zimmer an RBI, the run comes over.

926
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Added his two-to-one Brooklyn, no error on the play.

927
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Let's get that station break in.

928
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,000
This is the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.

929
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:13,000
And your Brooklyn Dodgers station for the capital district, WOKO, first in Albany, 1460 on your dial.

930
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Out in Indianapolis at the end of eight laps, 200 miles down the drain of the 500-mile race,

931
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Sam Hanks is leading out there for the 500-mile race crown today.

932
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Now back to baseball.

933
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Magley sacrificed in the third inning, swings it a pitch and doesn't get it on one.

934
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Magley batting 125, he has one hit.

935
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:44,000
For a double, a single, and a scoring fly ball, and Brooklyn breaks the tie and takes the lead 2-1.

936
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Fifth inning, one out.

937
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Law checks his signs with Hank Foyle.

938
01:04:49,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Now it comes to the plate and a sharp curve, cut on and missed on two.

939
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,000
On that, Jim Gilliam.

940
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,000
Foyle has everything in his way now to Magley, no balls and two strikes.

941
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Vernon Ready and delivers. Sal takes outside, ball one, one and two.

942
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Lovely day today here in Pittsburgh.

943
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Warm but comfortable.

944
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:29,000
Nice crowd on hand watching the beginning of a big double header.

945
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,000
Foyle Ready, Foyle settles low back of the plate.

946
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:42,000
One and two pitch to Magley, a curve ball outside, two and two.

947
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Brooklyn two runs on six hits, the Pirates one run on four hits, one run on three hits, excuse me.

948
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
The two-two pitch now to Magley, cut on as a fly ball to right field,

949
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Clemente with shallow has to go back and leap in the air and grab it, and Charlie Neal holds on at second base.

950
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Magley hits the ball well and lines out to Bob Clemente in right field.

951
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Two down, Charlie Neal holding at second base and a batter Jim Gilliam.

952
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Jim started off the spring roaring, got up his highs in the 400 category, started to skid down to the 240s.

953
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:24,000
Then out West picked up, he had seven hits and 14 at bats, got his average back up to about 280s,

954
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:28,000
and he's starting to skid down again, he's batting 252.

955
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:32,000
So Junior really rides the elevator, especially early in the year.

956
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:38,000
May is not a particularly good month for Gilliam, however if he follows his pattern,

957
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,000
he'll start to really get his base hits again in June.

958
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Junior takes a strike on one.

959
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Gilliam with ten runs batted in, that's fly to center, fly to left, 0 for two.

960
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Law comes set, a peek at Charlie Neal, the pitch to Gilliam, a little high, one ball, one strike.

961
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Meeting number ten between these two.

962
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:14,000
The Dodgers haven't taken five out of nine, but the Pirates have taken three out of five here at Ford Field.

963
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:22,000
The 1-1 pitch to Gilliam, cut on hit off the thumbs and foul down the left-fielder line upstairs, one and two.

964
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Junior didn't get around on a fastball, and they count one ball, two strikes.

965
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Lerner, Law, and Sal Magley in this first game.

966
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Sandy Kovacs and Bob Perky tab to do the work in the second.

967
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:45,000
One and two pitch to Gilliam, high ball, two, two and two.

968
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:54,000
We'll leave Pittsburgh tonight at about 11 o'clock or thereabouts, spend the night on the train going to Philadelphia.

969
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Play Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday afternoon, and Monday night.

970
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Two, two pitch to Gilliam.

971
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Jim swings and hooks her foul way down the right-field line that goes in the upper deck.

972
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Holding count, two and two.

973
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Two and two.

974
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Gilliam is moving that bat back and forth.

975
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Law comes set, looks to Charlie Neal at second, and delivers just inside, ball three.

976
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Four-all's a mild dispute with plate on fire, Frank Secori.

977
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,000
Hook out now to Jim Gilliam.

978
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,000
Charlie Neal running for Peewee Reese, who hurt his leg.

979
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Charlie down at second base.

980
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Two out, Brooklyn two, fire is one in the fifth inning.

981
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Four-all's wigwagging signs out now.

982
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Law gives him a reading, picks off the one that he wants.

983
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Three, two, pitch to Jim Gilliam.

984
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Cut on is a high fly ball into shallow left.

985
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,000
It's an easy play for Frank Thomas, just standing there waiting and takes it.

986
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:12,000
In the fifth inning for Brooklyn, they put together a double, a single, and a scoring fly ball.

987
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,000
One run, two hits.

988
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Leave one man.

989
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,000
There were no pirate errors until the score at the end of four and a half innings of play.

990
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Brooklyn two, Pittsburgh one.

991
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
We're ready now for the last half of the fifth inning and the infield changes for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

992
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Neal will go to third base, and Don Zimmer will move over to the shortstop taking on where Reese leaves off.

993
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,000
So that's it for the last half of the fifth inning.

994
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,000
Foyles comes to the plate now for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

995
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,000
The Dodgers lead it two to one.

996
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Let's get right back to the inning.

997
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Well, Katja Hang Foyles batting 263, bounced out short the first in the third inning.

998
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,000
He's 0 for one.

999
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,000
Maggley ready, hooks him, and if it's just cut on, a high foul to the left of the plate.

1000
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,000
He'll go back into the crowd.

1001
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,000
4-1.

1002
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Foyles has three home runs, ten runs ratted in.

1003
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:14,000
The crowd gets a few giggles out of the race for that foul ball.

1004
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:19,000
Memorial Day 1957 here at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

1005
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Strike one pitch to Hang Foyles.

1006
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Cut on, slice now foul on the upper deck or first base.

1007
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:31,000
0-2.

1008
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,000
End of three innings and the only other ballgame we can report on in the National League.

1009
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:40,000
Giants 1, Phillies nothing on Andre Rogers' home run.

1010
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,000
They'll do the games in the American League starting.

1011
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Washington leading the Yankees 2-0 at the end of three.

1012
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Baltimore 2, Red Sox nothing at the end of two.

1013
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Curved ball low and outside to Hang Foyles.

1014
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,000
One ball, two strikes.

1015
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,000
We're in the bottom of the fifth inning, Brooklyn 2 and the Pirates 1.

1016
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,000
The Dodgers two runs on six hits and the Pirates one run on three hits.

1017
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,000
The big hit, Thomas' home run in the fourth inning.

1018
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,000
One and two pitch for Foyles, swings and nubs your foul to the left of the plate.

1019
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Cattle's one and two.

1020
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Memorial Day, a day of memories.

1021
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,000
I bet you can probably think on a lighter side, baseball wise.

1022
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:27,000
It happened on Memorial Days in the past.

1023
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Also that 500-mile saucer at Indianapolis will get a workout today.

1024
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:38,000
The one and two pitch now, Magley slides it in and it whacks right on by Charlie Neal and down the left of your line.

1025
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,000
Gino Somoli chasing it into the corner.

1026
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Hang Foyles on his way with a stand-up double.

1027
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Oh, Hang Foyles, ripped one by Charlie Neal just inside third and down the line.

1028
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,000
So the Dodgers leading 2-1 in the lead in jeopardy.

1029
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Foyles at second base with nobody out and Vernon Law the batter.

1030
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:06,000
The Dodger bullfinns, swings into action, Eddie Robuck up right away.

1031
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Vernon Law is a pretty good hitting pitcher.

1032
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,000
His average shows 364.

1033
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,000
He has two runs batted in.

1034
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000
When Law first joined the Pirates a few years ago,

1035
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:21,000
and the Dodgers of course always have a habit prior to a ballgame like every other club

1036
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,000
of watching the opposing team take batting practice.

1037
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:28,000
The day that Vernon Law first pitched against Brooklyn when he hit with the regulars,

1038
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:31,000
boys on the bench were really impressed with him.

1039
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:36,000
He's a rangey fellow and slightly at the knees, but he's no automatic out up there, not by a long shot.

1040
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Neal comes inside the bag at third as Magley comes to the plate.

1041
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,000
The pitcher's smothered up towards first.

1042
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Cabanela's going to let the ball roll and pitch it up relatedly towards the first just in time.

1043
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Roy started to go after the ball and then it started to spin away,

1044
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,000
and for a moment you could just about read Cabanela's mind.

1045
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Maybe it's just too good a front. Maybe you ought to let it roll foul.

1046
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:02,000
Then the ball hugged the chalkmine and Cabanela figured, uh-oh, better make the play, and he just did.

1047
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
So the sacrifice works.

1048
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,000
2-4 from Roy Cabanela to Jim Gilliam.

1049
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,000
Fank Foyles advancing to third.

1050
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,000
One out, the tying run at third base, and the batter Bill Mazurowski who has bounced out and walked.

1051
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,000
Mazurowski batting 2-0-2 in the Dodgers, now crowd home plate.

1052
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,000
The infield moves in.

1053
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:28,000
That's as Hodges, Gilliam, Zimmer, and Neal.

1054
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Magley looks over at third.

1055
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:35,000
It's Hank Foyles now works to Mazurowski, a curve that stays high and inside, ball one.

1056
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:43,000
The second baseman has hit two home runs, and he has four runs batted in.

1057
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Magley trying to rub a couple of wrinkles into that baseball now while he turns and looks over at third.

1058
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,000
2-1 Brooklyn, bottom of the fifth, one out, Foyles at third.

1059
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:58,000
The 1-0 pitch to Mazurowski, low and inside, ball two, 2-0.

1060
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Mazurowski waiting, 2-0 to count.

1061
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Magley takes his full windup.

1062
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:20,000
The 2-0 pitch to Mazurowski, cut on a huck one to Neal who holds his runner,

1063
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:26,000
throws over to first for the out, and then Hodges comes right back towards the infield to make sure Foyles remains.

1064
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Mazurowski bounce out third to first, two down, Foyles holding at third base, and the batter D. Fondy who is two for two.

1065
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Fondy both times, singling to right.

1066
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,000
D batting 3-47.

1067
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:50,000
He hurt Newcomb and Brooklyn the other night when as a pinch hitter he blew the single to center to drive in a big run that tied it up.

1068
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,000
The Pirates eventually won it in 11 and increased it to two.

1069
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:59,000
The second batter, Magley ready to come to him, and the curve is cut on in this first fight.

1070
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,000
4-1.

1071
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:08,000
I think if you pulled the Dodgers they would say about as fast a man in the league going from home plate to first base as this D. Fondy.

1072
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Time called momentarily, Frank Secori the plate umpire points out to the left field corner.

1073
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Joe Becker going over to receive a baseball that got loose from the Brooklyn bullpen.

1074
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Two out, Hank Foyles at third, bottom of the fifth inning, 2-1 Brooklyn.

1075
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Fondy waiting with the count 0-1.

1076
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:57,000
Magley ready and comes to him, curve out of the plate, 0-2.

1077
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,000
0-2 to Fondy, Magley taking time now, it's a big spot.

1078
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Sal Wines on the strike, two-pitch to Fondy outside, 4-1.

1079
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,000
1-2.

1080
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,000
The infield of course was two out back into normal depth.

1081
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,000
The outfield and in particular Duke Schneider, very deep.

1082
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Schneider's away out there.

1083
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Magley Wines, a 1-2 pitch to D, taken outside again, ball two.

1084
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,000
So, Deuce is wild here in the fifth inning.

1085
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Two balls, two strikes, two out, Brooklyn leads 2-1.

1086
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Hank Foyles holding at third.

1087
01:16:47,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Magley ready, now the 2-2 pitch to D, Fondy, cut on, fouled away.

1088
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Count holes, 2-2.

1089
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:20,000
Magley just kind of wandering around out there at the mound, looks to his outfield, now turns around.

1090
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Sal looks over third, now ready.

1091
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,000
The 2-2 pitch to D, Fondy, cut on, is a high fly ball to left.

1092
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Dino Somolius right there, it's an easy play, waxes glove and takes the ball for the out.

1093
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,000
So the Pirates are turned away empty handed in the fifth inning.

1094
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,000
No runs, one hit, they leave a man at third base.

1095
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:43,000
And the score at the end of five innings of play, Brooklyn 2 and the Pirates 1.

1096
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,000
All right, right back to action, let's get back to them.

1097
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Before we get to the action, we have some good news for all you boat lovers,

1098
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:54,000
whether you own a row boat or a yacht, the F&M Shape of Brewing Company is sponsoring a new radio program

1099
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,000
entitled This Week in Boating.

1100
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,000
It's just the kind of show you boatmen have been waiting for.

1101
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,000
A summary of news, weather forecasts, tips and features stories of the boating world.

1102
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:07,000
This Week in Boating, a 15-minute radio show beginning this Friday night at 1115

1103
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,000
and will be a regular Friday night feature.

1104
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,000
For all you boat lovers, remember This Week in Boating at 1115.

1105
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Check your local newspaper for the station and anchors away.

1106
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,000
All right, sixth inning, 2-1 Brooklyn and Somoli takes a strike.

1107
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:27,000
Dino has a single and a double batting 3.48.

1108
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Dino prior to today in his sixth game since returning to the lineup, hit at a 400 clip.

1109
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Swinged now and is a high fly ball to center.

1110
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Burden charging it, still coming on, she dropped in for a base hit.

1111
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:47,000
So as the ball players say, Dino's living right, gets his third hit, a looping single to center.

1112
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,000
That is hit number seven off Vernon Law.

1113
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Brooklyn leading 2-1.

1114
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:56,000
So Somoli with a single, a double, and now a blue single to center.

1115
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:04,000
That brings up Duke Snyder who is hit into a double play and single to center to drive in around Duke batting 2.71.

1116
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:11,000
Law comes set, checks Somoli and delivers and Snyder takes way high, ball one.

1117
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:22,000
First of two games, second game it will be Sandy Koufax and Bob Perkey.

1118
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Law throws over to first, Somoli did not have a big lead, gets right back.

1119
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,000
One ball, no strikes, the counter Snyder.

1120
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Law again throws over there and Dino's back.

1121
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:56,000
Snyder takes a look at a balloon that's way high, ball two.

1122
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Two and all to Snyder, sixth inning, Brooklyn two, Pirates one.

1123
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Vernon Law comes set, looks to Somoli, delivers, Snyder way out in front of that change up.

1124
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Boy he almost came out of his uniform, two balls one strike.

1125
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Giants one, Phillies nothing at the end of three, only other game underway in the National League.

1126
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,000
Duck in what we have in the American League.

1127
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Washington two, Yankees nothing at the end of four.

1128
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Baltimore two, Red Sox nothing at the end of three.

1129
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,000
The 2-1 pitch to Snyder, another pitch is Pellet high and deep to right field.

1130
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:37,000
They're going to go over and out, a home run for Snyder over the right field screen and back into the crowd.

1131
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,000
So the Duke has listed one, his ninth home run.

1132
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:48,000
He now has 20 runs batted in and the Dodgers lead four to one.

1133
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:53,000
So Law after changing up and making Snyder look so badly came back with another change up.

1134
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
The Duke was waiting.

1135
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000
It's 300 feet down the right field line here at Forbes Field,

1136
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,000
and they have not only the wall but a high screen atop it.

1137
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Snyder's drive cleared everything and went right down an exit gate.

1138
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:11,000
The Duke's second hit, three RBIs for him in this ball game.

1139
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Brooklyn four, Pirates one in the sixth inning and the batter Carl Perillo was bounced out and hit into a double play batting 325.

1140
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Law delivers and Carl takes the strike on one.

1141
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:31,000
The Braggley will have a little bit of breathing room now for one Brooklyn.

1142
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:37,000
Law right back again on one and the breaking ball is low, one ball one strike.

1143
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,000
The F&M Shaffer Brewing Company of Brooklyn, Brewers of America's oldest lager beer,

1144
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:45,000
wishing you the very best on this Memorial Day wherever you may be.

1145
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Hope you're doing just what you want to do.

1146
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:52,000
One runner is cut on and fouled away, one and two.

1147
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:57,000
I think on holidays, especially a day like today or July 4th or Labor Day,

1148
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,000
it's not growing in the background of park policemen chasing a foul.

1149
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:06,000
I think with so many people off, we ought to tip our hats especially to the policemen and state police

1150
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:11,000
and Florida authority men that do such a great job on tangling those traffic jams, huh?

1151
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:17,000
One and two feet is way high if all too soon to farm in those fellows who are stuck in the Lincoln Tunnel,

1152
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:22,000
the Battery Tunnel, or Holland Tunnel on the George Washington Bridge.

1153
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,000
They do a great job.

1154
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,000
Really need them on a day like today.

1155
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:33,000
Two two-fits now to Brillo, cut on, there's a high fly ball to left center, it's pretty deep and in the middle.

1156
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Over goes Verdon on the run, crisscrossing is Thomas and it's Verdon for the catch.

1157
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,000
So Brillo a long out to left center.

1158
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:50,000
One down.

1159
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,000
The batter Gil Hodges, who twice, since the pirates are pitching outside to him,

1160
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
tried to go to right and twice he's bounced out to Maseroski.

1161
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Gil batting 333 and one of the big reasons why he's been hitting so well is his almost newfound ability

1162
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:09,000
to consistently hit that outside pitch.

1163
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:17,000
Already in delivers, Hodges takes a half swing and checks to pitch up high, ball one, one and oh.

1164
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Gil so many times would get in trouble up there if he played by taking the outside pitch on the corner,

1165
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:26,000
but now he's going after it and doing very well.

1166
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:33,000
One oh pitch, Gil runs up and bunts and hits a sharply foul outside of third, one and one.

1167
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:43,000
So Hodges coming back to hit again.

1168
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:48,000
One out here in the sixth inning, two runs are over for Brooklyn thanks to Snyder's home run, his ninth.

1169
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:58,000
And the Dodges lead four to one.

1170
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Hodges just waiting at the plate on Degroy Campanella.

1171
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:21,000
The one one pitch to Hodges now, full swing on a curve ball, he doesn't get it, one and two.

1172
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Brooklyn four runs on eight hits, no errors. The Pirates one run on four hits, no errors.

1173
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:38,000
The Dodges have had a home run hit by Snyder and Frank Thomas at one for Pittsburgh.

1174
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:42,000
One and two pitch to Hodges, curve cut on and hits slowly wide at third over into the hole,

1175
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:52,000
comes Baker's hurried throw is not in time. So Hodges legs one out for a base hit into the hole at short.

1176
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:57,000
That is hit number nine on Vernon Law.

1177
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:17,000
One out of the batter Roy Campanella who has struck out and doubled, can be batting 247.

1178
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Law comes to Campanella who swings late and hits it in the up deck boxes on top of the roof, four and one.

1179
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Brooklyn four, Pirates one, two runs over here in the sixth inning.

1180
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:42,000
One out, Hodges at first and the count to Campanella, no balls, one strike.

1181
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:48,000
Already in comes the plate and Campy takes two low, a puff of dirt, signals it was in the dirt, one and one.

1182
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Campy has six home runs, 21 runs batted in.

1183
01:25:54,000 --> 01:26:02,000
First sign of the summer, a little ladybug come flying in the booth.

1184
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:16,000
Two and one, pitch to Campy now, down low ball two, turn one.

1185
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Two balls, one strike.

1186
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Law comes set, takes a peek at Hodges, now delivers and Campanella takes low and outside, ball three.

1187
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Vernon Law in trouble, trailing four to one to Brooklyn, Hodges at first with one out and he is falling behind to Campanella.

1188
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Three and one, there goes Hodges, a hot one down to Maserachi who is over to cover the bag,

1189
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:46,000
feeds to Baker, high throw to first, is still out as D. Fondy makes the tag on Campanella.

1190
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:54,000
Oh they get the double play, Maserachi was breaking the cover as Hodges was going on the pitch and the ball was hit right at Maserachi.

1191
01:26:54,000 --> 01:27:01,000
He fed to Baker and Baker's high throw to Fondy was still alright as D made the slight tag, four to six to three.

1192
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:05,000
So the Pirates now come up with three double plays thus far in six innings.

1193
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:11,000
For Brooklyn, two runs, three hits, a big blow tonight as home run with Somalia Boyd, nobody left on.

1194
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:16,000
At the end of five and a half innings of play, Brooklyn four and Pittsburgh one.

1195
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:20,000
Down to the last half, inning number six, the Brooklyn Dodgers are leading at four to one.

1196
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Clemente coming up for the Pirates, has already been.

1197
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,000
All set out, before the play gets back in though, before it interferes with it,

1198
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:33,000
seeing that ladybug, remember when you were a kid, let's see now you weren't supposed to step on an ant because it would make it rain, remember?

1199
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,000
That's right.

1200
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:39,000
We had another one in the city that if you stepped on the cracks in the sidewalk you'd break the devil's dishes.

1201
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,000
That was a really quite bad way.

1202
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Yeah that was a New York thing for kids.

1203
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Okay bottom of the sixth here's Clemente, Magley's curve is caught on little looper right near the bag at second.

1204
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Magley is there to take it and quickly one out.

1205
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Summers coming in.

1206
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Just thinking about that, thinking about Dodgetown came for boys too, all the fun that youngsters have down there.

1207
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,000
You can drop us a line at 215 Montague Street.

1208
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,000
Boy what a spot for youngsters.

1209
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Frank Thomas the batter has fouled out and hit a home run.

1210
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:19,000
As Al pointed out he really jolted it, over the scoreboard and over the clock.

1211
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Frank takes a slow curve in for the strike on one.

1212
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:28,000
Frank has five home runs, 20 runs batted in and an average of 324.

1213
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,000
One out, bottom of the sixth.

1214
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,000
4-1 Brooklyn.

1215
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Magley comes back and a curve is grounded wide a third, a nice stab by Charlie Neal who makes his play.

1216
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:44,000
Charlie not only had to cover ground going to his left but the ball did not come up for him at the last second.

1217
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:48,000
He really had to short hop it, digging it out of the dirt.

1218
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,000
Two down.

1219
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,000
If you've just joined us and you say is Charlie Neal a third?

1220
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,000
Well that's right, Don Zimmer's a short.

1221
01:28:54,000 --> 01:29:01,000
For Peewee Reese who started the ball game, got a face hit in the fifth inning and pulled a muscle in his leg and had to give way.

1222
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Two out, here's Gene Baker, twice he has grounded out.

1223
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Swings with a high fly ball into left field.

1224
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,000
It's high but not too deep.

1225
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,000
Simoli's there shading his eyes and takes it for the out.

1226
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,000
A rather easy inning for Sal Magley.

1227
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Touch them down one, two, three and at the end of six innings of play Brooklyn four and the Pirates one.

1228
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:24,000
All right Al, we're waiting now for Catcher Hank Foyle to get his gear on and come on up.

1229
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:30,000
While we have a chance for us to station identification, this is the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.

1230
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:38,000
Dial 1460WOKO for the Brooklyn Dodger games and write to WOKO for the complete Dodger schedule of games both at home and away.

1231
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,000
It's yours free for the asking.

1232
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Be sure to give your name and address, write baseball, WOKO Albany, New York.

1233
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,000
All right, seventh inning, Charlie Neal the batter.

1234
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,000
Vernon Law spins the pitch and gets it high for one.

1235
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:55,000
Neal coming up for his first at bat now.

1236
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:00,000
He's batting 273 as a home run and four runs batted in.

1237
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Law right back again, Charlie checks and the pitch is down low ball two, two and old.

1238
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Charlie Neal followed by Don Zimmer and pitcher Sal Magley.

1239
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:13,000
We're in the seventh inning, Brooklyn for Pirates one.

1240
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Vernon Law winds and the two-oh pitch, Neal swings and fouls her back two and one.

1241
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Law checking signs.

1242
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,000
Neal just waiting.

1243
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,000
Vernon winds and the two-one pitch to Charlie Neal, cut on and fouled away.

1244
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:47,000
Two and two.

1245
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:51,000
Brooklyn with a run in the fourth, one in the fifth and two in the sixth.

1246
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:55,000
The Pirates run came in a home run by Frank Thomas in the fourth inning.

1247
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,000
Two-two pitch to Charlie Neal, cut on, a bounce there slowly to second.

1248
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Mazurowski up with it, throws to first in time and Neal is retired four to three.

1249
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,000
One up, one away.

1250
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:20,000
In the second inning we'll see Sandy Koufax and Bob Purkey.

1251
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Don Zimmer has single to right and a scoring fly ball to right, one for one after a get down and away from a high inside fastball, ball one.

1252
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:38,000
In the second inning, two-thirty-seven, four home runs, eleven runs batted in.

1253
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Law back to him one-oh, Zimmer swings and misses one and one.

1254
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Don using a bit lighter bat now, he had a new set made.

1255
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Bats now weigh around thirty-two, thirty-three ounces.

1256
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:59,000
In one pitch, slow curve, cut on, is a high fly ball into left center.

1257
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,000
It's an easy play for Burton right there waiting and takes it.

1258
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,000
Two up, two away.

1259
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:08,000
And we're waiting now for Sal Magley to make his way.

1260
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:11,000
Sal puts on his helmet, out he comes.

1261
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:17,000
He sacrificed in the third inning and hit the ball well and lined out to Bob Clemente in right field in the fifth.

1262
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:22,000
It's a round of applause as he comes up.

1263
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Magley batting one-eleven, one for nine.

1264
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Vernon Law ready and comes to Magley and the pitch is cut on and missed like one.

1265
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:55,000
When the Pirates bat in the bottom of the seventh inning, they'll have Gene Fries, Bill Burton, and Hank Foyles.

1266
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Law right back again, Magley swings and pops it up.

1267
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:02,000
Third baseman Gene Fries calling, waiting, takes it.

1268
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:06,000
So quiet seventh inning for Brooklyn, one-two-three.

1269
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Sure now, the end of six and a half innings to play in this first game of two today, Brooklyn four and the Pirates one.

1270
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:16,000
And they are standing here at Forbes Field for the bucks when they come up to bat.

1271
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:20,000
But right now let's all sit quietly and listen to Al.

1272
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Oh, is that Dixieland Jive again, Mr. Sculley?

1273
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Oh, those not links.

1274
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Yes, sir. Take me down to Basin Street and cool me off.

1275
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Boy, I've heard take me out of the ballgame a lot of ways, but I've never heard of Dixieland. It's wake you up.

1276
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,000
It'll do something to you. I don't know what, but it'll do it.

1277
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:47,000
Well, we find out about the last of the seventh now. Gene Fries the batter, tries to punch in the air, it drops foul on touch, 0-1.

1278
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:55,000
Gene flying to left and struck out batting 229.

1279
01:33:55,000 --> 01:34:03,000
Now the Washington Senators with their three-game winning streak and their leading four to nothing at the end of five innings got a tough break.

1280
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Fischer out seek out of the Yankees, hit one back and hit pitcher Camellio Pasquale.

1281
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:16,000
Pasquale had to leave the ballgame, relieved by Buck Byerly in the sixth inning.

1282
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Strike one pitch to Gene Fries, cut out a miss, 0-2.

1283
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:28,000
And the thought of a pitcher being hit by a batted ball reminds us of the pictures in the newspapers of Herb Scorer being out of the hospital.

1284
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:32,000
Certainly wish him well. Boy, he must be quite a fella, huh?

1285
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:41,000
0-2 pitch to Gene Fries, cut on and lined down the left of your line, it's starting to hook and go foul.

1286
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:45,000
0-2, the count to Gene Fries.

1287
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:50,000
They don't expect Herb Scorer to be in uniform for quite a while as yet.

1288
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:56,000
It'll be another week, 10 days before he'll even try uniform. They don't expect him to pitch for about a month.

1289
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:05,000
But at least the big fella's out and around.

1290
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Brooklyn four, fire is won, bottom of the seventh inning. Gene Fries, Bill Verdon, Hank Foyles.

1291
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:18,000
Magli ready in the 0-2 pitch, Fries swings and a bouncing ball, staff backhanded by Maglio throws him out.

1292
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Nice play by Sal, going sharply to his right.

1293
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:26,000
So Fries retired, 1-3.

1294
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Bill Verdon, the center fielder for Pittsburgh, has bounced out and struck out. Bill's average is really shrinking now, he's down to 2-0-1.

1295
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:42,000
Bill O'Fienn-Hillier, had a great year last year, much I guess to the embarrassment of the St. Louis Cardinals.

1296
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:48,000
A couple getting squared around, he has one of them run 12 RBIs.

1297
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Magli bends at the knees, gets a sign. Now Sal ready and comes to the plate, and the change is just low, ball one.

1298
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:59,000
Magli giving you the impression he's just pushing it up there.

1299
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,000
1-0.

1300
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:09,000
Sal back again, 1-0. The pitch is grounded right at Gilliam. Jim up with it easily after going on his right knee and throws him out.

1301
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Bill Verdon goes down, 4-3, two up, two away.

1302
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:23,000
Catcher Hank Foyles bounced out and double sharply to left. Got around as far as third in the fifth inning and that's where he's saved.

1303
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Ruppen leading 4-1 in the seventh inning, two out. Foyles batting 2-71.

1304
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Here he swings and fouls the first pitch back, strike one.

1305
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:47,000
The up and M shape of Brewing Company of Brooklyn sending you all the proceedings on a big day from Pittsburgh, Memorial Day.

1306
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
Second game, Sandy Koufax and Bob Perkey.

1307
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,000
Hope you're just comfortable right now if you don't have to move around too much.

1308
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Strike one, Fitz to Foyles, in there, oh and two.

1309
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:02,000
And if you're planning to have some Cole Schaeffer to keep you company, and we certainly hope you are,

1310
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:07,000
hope you have that half court cam where you don't have to keep jumping up and down for a refill.

1311
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Strike two, Fitz, Foyles cuts on it, there's a high fly ball into shallow right.

1312
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:15,000
Frillo coming over, still over to his left some more now and takes it for the out.

1313
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:20,000
About 20 feet fair inside the right field foul line.

1314
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:26,000
So Mr. Sam Magley is starting to get the range now, he's retired nine men in a row since Foyles doubled to open up the fifth.

1315
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:31,000
And at the end of seven, Brooklyn four and Pittsburgh one.

1316
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:36,000
It's to the top half of the eighth inning, and the first Brooklyn Dodger up will be Jim Gilliam.

1317
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Score standing, the Dodgers four and the Pittsburgh Pirates one in this first game of the doubleheader from Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

1318
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,000
Vins already, so let's pick up the action.

1319
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Jim Gilliam, the lead it off, is all for three, fly balls to center and twice to left.

1320
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Junior batting 251, Lars Passball below his knees, ball one.

1321
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:58,000
This for Big Vernon will probably be his last inning of work.

1322
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:03,000
He's due up first when the Pirates come to bat in the bottom of the eighth.

1323
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Law ready and the one oh pitch.

1324
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,000
Junior takes inside, ball two, two and oh.

1325
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:11,000
Gene Fries playing on the grass inside third.

1326
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Brooklyn four, Pirates one, we're in the eighth inning.

1327
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,000
Vernon Law winds and the two oh pitch to Gilliam, taken for the strike, two and one.

1328
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,000
Brooklyn up to this moment, four runs on nine hits and no errors.

1329
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:34,000
The Pirates one run on four hits, no errors.

1330
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:39,000
Law back again, Gilliam swings and fouls it away, two and two.

1331
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,000
Control has been very good on both sides today.

1332
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Vernon Law has not walked a man, Sal Magley walked one.

1333
01:38:50,000 --> 01:39:00,000
The beauty yesterday, Johnny Padres and Ronnie Klein, Brooklyn won that one nothing.

1334
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:08,000
Law flicking his glove at foil signs, now he's ready, two, two pitch, cut on is a hot one on a bounce right to Mazuracki, stays with it, makes his play.

1335
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:15,000
So Gilliam hits the ball sharply but right at the second baseman, one out on the eighth.

1336
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Zeno Somoli with three hits today, three for three, two singles and a double.

1337
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:32,000
And the present young man from the San Francisco Bay area now has a three fifty three batting average.

1338
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:44,000
Zeno with that overly close stance, just waiting, Law ready and delivers and Somoli shies away, the pitch is inside, ball one.

1339
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Somoli waiting, now the one oh pitch to Zeno, cut on is a hot one, grabbed nicely by Gene Freeze, his throw to first is in time.

1340
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:58,000
Oh I guess the scales always balance out, Somoli got a base hit on a little looping fly ball to center in the sixth inning.

1341
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:05,000
This time he ripped one but right at third baseman Freeze and he goes out.

1342
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:08,000
Two down in the eighth inning and the batter, Duke Schneider.

1343
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:17,000
Schneider hit into a double play in the first inning, single to center to drive in Somoli in the fourth and hit a home run to deep right field with Somoli aboard in the sixth.

1344
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:20,000
Schneider batting two seventy-six.

1345
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:29,000
Law delivers, Schneider swings a high drive way out into right center field, that's hit a mile, Clementi to the wall and grabs it and that's over four hundred feet away.

1346
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:37,000
Boy that's a long out.

1347
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:46,000
So Mr. Dick Schneider who is of a specially happy frame of mind the last few days with his lovely wife Beverly making this little trip with him,

1348
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:52,000
goes two for three and jolts one to deepest right center that Bob Clementi holds down right at the base of the wall.

1349
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:57,000
So Brooklyn goes out one, two, three in the eighth and at the end of seven and a half, Brooklyn four, Pittsburgh one.

1350
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:04,000
Sitting over here visualizing, oh I got an imagination.

1351
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Well Paul Smith coming up now batting for Vernon Law tries to run and fouls the first pitch away on one.

1352
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:15,000
Paul Smith, SMI-TH, two of the outfielders, left hand batter.

1353
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Hitting for Vernon Law, bottom of the eighth, Brooklyn four, Pirates one.

1354
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:26,000
Smitty batting two seventy-nine. Magni ready, right back to him with a curve and misses high, one and one.

1355
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:32,000
Those will be Paul Smith and Bill Maszeroski and Dee Fondy.

1356
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:37,000
Magni getting a sign from Roy Campanella, foul straightens up, comes to the plate one-one.

1357
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:42,000
The curve cut on and missed, one and two.

1358
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:57,000
Smith stumbled and hit his back, spikes caught so plate umpire Frank Sicori polishing off home plate.

1359
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Magni winds and one and two pitch to Paul Smith outside two and two.

1360
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:08,000
The one-one tie at the end of six innings, the Phillies and the Giants, no score at the end of one inning, the Cubs and Milwaukee.

1361
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:13,000
McCartnoughs are leading Cincinnati, one to nothing at the end of an inning and a half.

1362
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:18,000
The American League, Washington leading the Yankees, four nothing at the end of five.

1363
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:23,000
Magni ready and delivers, Smith swings a hot one to the hole over there as Zimmery's up with it, his long throw in time.

1364
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:27,000
And Paul Smith is retired, six to three.

1365
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Detroit leading Kansas City, one to nothing at the end of one inning.

1366
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:36,000
And Baltimore making things rough for the Red Sox, Baltimore five and Boston one at the end of four.

1367
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:41,000
No report yet, Cleveland and the White Sox.

1368
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:45,000
Further report at the end of two innings, the Cardinals two, Cincinnati nothing.

1369
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Dodges trailing Cincinnati by a game and a half.

1370
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,000
Bader Maszeroski and Bill takes a pitch down low, ball one.

1371
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Maszeroski batting 200.

1372
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,000
Picey is bounced out and walks.

1373
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:09,000
Magni comes back one-oh, Maszeroski takes low again, ball two, two and oh.

1374
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,000
Big day of baseball, everybody in the majors playing double-headers,

1375
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:19,000
so we'll be keeping a close check on all the scorers throughout the afternoon.

1376
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:25,000
Two and oh pitch to Maszeroski, that's high, ball three, three and oh.

1377
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:30,000
Walter Austin sitting in front of the Dodgers dugout on the top step right next to the bat rack,

1378
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:35,000
watching Magni's every move.

1379
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:51,000
A three and oh pitch to Maszeroski down the pipe, three and one.

1380
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Pitch to the plate in there, full count.

1381
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:00,000
Three and two to Bill Maszeroski on deck, D'Fondi, one out, bases empty,

1382
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:05,000
bottom of the eighth inning, Brooklyn four, Pittsburgh one.

1383
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:09,000
Sal Magni ready in the three-two pitch, curve cut, high fly ball to deep left,

1384
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:15,000
Simoli going back, away back to the Ivy wall, turns and grabs it, right at the wall.

1385
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:21,000
And I'll tell you, Simoli had an idea all the way, just kept looking at the wall with his back to home plate,

1386
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:26,000
then turned at the very fringe of the black dirt track that goes around the ballpark,

1387
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,000
caught it right against the wall, long out.

1388
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:34,000
Magni gave you the impression that time that he's just not going to walk, Maszeroski,

1389
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:38,000
he came right in with it, left a little second baseman, hit it just about as far as he could.

1390
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:42,000
Two out, here's D'Fondi batting three-forty-four, D is two to three.

1391
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Magni's change up is outside for one.

1392
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:53,000
Fondi twice, single to right and fly to left.

1393
01:44:53,000 --> 01:45:09,000
On Dagbar Clementi, the one-oh pitch to Fondi at the knees for a strike, one and one.

1394
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,000
Magni bends at the waist to get it signed.

1395
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:16,000
Now the one-one pitch to D'Fondi, cut on is a hot one up the middle at the clean base hit.

1396
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,000
That is the first hit for Pittsburgh.

1397
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:24,000
The batting foils doubled in the fifth inning. Magni in that time had retired eleven men in a row.

1398
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Now Fondi singles to center with two out and here's Bob Clementi.

1399
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:33,000
Clementi, quite a favorite here at Pittsburgh.

1400
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,000
He's kind of on the spectacular side.

1401
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:41,000
On any fly ball, he kind of runs around out there like a kid chasing a bee.

1402
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,000
You get a big kick out of him. With the bat, he's hitting two-eighty.

1403
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:50,000
Hit back to the box, hit into a forced play and popped up.

1404
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,000
Fondi at first, two out.

1405
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Magni set, comes to the plate and Clementi takes a strike on one.

1406
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:01,000
The Dodger bullpen, Clem LeVine, begins to loosen up.

1407
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:10,000
Brooklyn four, Pirates one, bottom of the eighth.

1408
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,000
Magni comes set.

1409
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:21,000
Now the strike one pitch, Clementi swings right through it, oh and two.

1410
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Clementi turns and serves something to Frank Secori, now gets back in.

1411
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Magni in no hurry, he's waited a long time for this start, he's making the most of it.

1412
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:43,000
The oh and two pitch to Clementi outside, ball one.

1413
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:48,000
One and two.

1414
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Magni's last start, twenty days ago on May the 10th, you remember a Friday night against the Giants,

1415
01:46:54,000 --> 01:47:00,000
he pitched four innings, lost to Ruben Gomez, two to one.

1416
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Sal turns on the rubber, takes a peek at first and comes set.

1417
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:10,000
One and two pitch, breaking ball just outside, Clementi overmined a swing check.

1418
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:14,000
Two and two.

1419
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:21,000
Big Frank Thomas on deck.

1420
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:34,000
Gilliam has over shifted way over to his right, so there's a big gap on the right side of the infield.

1421
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Two and two.

1422
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:45,000
Magni delivers, Clementi takes outside, ball three, that one's backhanded by Campanella.

1423
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:49,000
So Magni now, after retiring eleven men in a row, with two out on the eighth inning,

1424
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:58,000
Fondy singles. He has now gone to a full count on Bob Clementi.

1425
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Clementi gets on, Magni has to face Frank Thomas who hit a home run in the fourth inning.

1426
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:13,000
Magni's set, three-two-fifth there goes Fondy and it's fouled back.

1427
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Brooklyn, four runs on nine hits. The Pirates, one run on five hits.

1428
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:27,000
Clementi walks out of the batter's box, wants a towel to dry off his hands.

1429
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:32,000
It's a pleasant day here in Pittsburgh, blue skies and white clouds.

1430
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:38,000
The breeze has picked up a bit, blowing from right center, slanting across the left field foul line.

1431
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Clementi might very well have gotten something in his eye.

1432
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:52,000
Now the on deck hitter, Frank Thomas, takes a towel and kind of looks at the orb.

1433
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:56,000
O-R-B means eye. Yep.

1434
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:03,000
All right, Bob's all right. Here he comes. Full count to Bob Clementi.

1435
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:13,000
Fondy holding on at first, two out on the eighth. Brooklyn, four, Pittsburgh, one.

1436
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:17,000
Magni, stirred in, Campanella wigwag the sign out to him, Sal's ready.

1437
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Fondy will be going. There he goes, the three-two is caught on his line drive.

1438
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,000
Slicing to right field, that's going to be high and off the screen.

1439
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Fondy is heading for third. Brillo throws in to second.

1440
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:43,000
Here comes Fondy, comes to the plate and scores on a double by Clementi.

1441
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Bob Clementi sliced a line drive halfway up the screen in right field.

1442
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:52,000
That cased in Fondy. Clementi sliding into second with his double and it is now

1443
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:57,000
the fourth inning for the Pirates, two. Still two out on the eighth inning and

1444
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,000
the batter, Frank Thomas.

1445
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:05,000
So Magni has now given up two runs, six hits and he has the two out blues here

1446
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:09,000
in the eighth. Smith had bounced out, Majorovski had flied out, then Fondy

1447
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,000
singled and Clementi doubled him in.

1448
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:16,000
And here's Thomas. Thomas fouled out, hit one over the scoreboard and the clock

1449
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:21,000
in the fourth inning for his simple run. Last time up bounced out third to first.

1450
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,000
Fondy with the ropes here in the stands waking up and a little hand clapping in

1451
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:30,000
the background. Magni comes set. Now delivers to Thomas who slings a hot one

1452
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:34,000
into the hole through for a base hit. Clementi at the round third will score.

1453
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:51,000
Slowly closing the second and it's getting better.

1454
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:56,000
So Sal Magni is now in a jam after breezing along through seventh and two

1455
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:00,000
third innings. With two out on the eighth, gives up a single to Fondy, a double to

1456
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:05,000
Clementi, a single to Thomas and it is four three Brooklyn. Walter Austin going

1457
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:10,000
out to the mound as Gene Baker will be the batter. LeBine continues to throw in

1458
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:14,000
the bullpen and it could be that Magni will be taken out right now. Sal just

1459
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:19,000
breezing along and Kabloom, the Pirate, starts to whack away at him. Austin looks

1460
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:24,000
to the bullpen, looks again and says now I want LeBine. So while LeBine comes in

1461
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:29,000
to relieve Magni, Dodgers leading four to three, closing out, tells us about all

1462
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:32,000
the other ball games on our shape of scoreboard.

1463
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Alright then, the Philadelphia Giants, their first game of the doubleheader at

1464
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:40,000
the end of seven innings all tied at one apiece. Simmons for Philadelphia and

1465
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:44,000
for the Giants it is Ruben Gomez. Boucher and Rogers have each hit home runs in

1466
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:49,000
that first game. Cincinnati and St. Louis at the end of two and one half innings

1467
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:54,000
of play. St. Louis two and Cincinnati has one. Joe Nuxall pitching for the

1468
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:58,000
Cincinnati Reds. Willard Schmitt going for St. Louis. Thurman had a home run in

1469
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:03,000
the third with the bases empty for Cincinnati. Chicago and Milwaukee at the

1470
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:08,000
end of an inning and a half, there's no score. It's Blutt going for Chicago and

1471
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:16,000
thrown for Milwaukee. Round of applause here as Sal Magni comes off the hill.

1472
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Now over in the American League, Yankees in Washington at the end of six innings

1473
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:24,000
of their first game of the doubleheader. Washington has a total of five runs.

1474
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:28,000
The Yankees nothing. Elsie got started for the Yankees. Terry came on in the sixth

1475
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:32,000
inning as well, Terry. And Washington fast well started, was out of there, hit by

1476
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,000
a battered ball and firely relieved in the sixth. Remen a home run in the fifth with

1477
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:40,000
one on for Washington. It's six of the year. Cleveland and Chicago at the end of

1478
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:45,000
an inning and a half. It is nothing and nothing. For Cleveland daily, for Chicago

1479
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:49,000
it is done of it. Baltimore and Boston at the end of four and one half innings of

1480
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:54,000
play. It is five to one. Baltimore over Boston. Mark Caccarelli for Baltimore.

1481
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Stone started for Boston. Porterfield in the fifth. Cal a home run in the first

1482
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:03,000
with nobody on. It's fourth of the year for Baltimore. Kansas City, Detroit, their

1483
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:07,000
first game of a twin bill. At the end of one inning, Detroit leads. Kansas City

1484
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:10,000
one to nothing. Frank's to Harvey Keene's home run in the first with nobody

1485
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:14,000
aboard. That's the second of the year. Tommy Morgan going for Kansas City. For

1486
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,000
Detroit it's Duke Monk. Well, that's everything right up to the minute. We have

1487
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:21,000
some changes here. Let's get back to this. Ray Mejias is a speed merchant down at

1488
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:25,000
first base running for Frank Thomas. Ray, your left hand batter, Bob Skinner is

1489
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:29,000
coming up to hit for Gene Baker as Clem LeBine takes over for Magley with two

1490
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:34,000
outs. And time calls for a moment as Frillo is receiving a ball in right field that

1491
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:38,000
got away in the Pirate's bullpen where both O'Brien and also Fase are loosening

1492
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:42,000
up. Buddy Pritchett now loosens up. He's a young shortstop. He'll be taking over

1493
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:46,000
for Baker. Four-three Brooklyn. Two out on the eighth inning. Mejias at first.

1494
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:52,000
LeBine in relief of Magley. Bob Skinner batting 314. He has one home run, five

1495
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:58,000
runs batted in. So what was a pleasant seven and two-third innings for Magley.

1496
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:03,000
Finally exploded and he had to come out. LeBine comes out, looks to first and

1497
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:08,000
delivers and the curve is outside, ball one. LeBine has three wins and no defeats

1498
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:13,000
against the league. He has saved five. He is asked to save a sixth. This is his

1499
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:20,000
18th appearance this year. Clem LeBine, back of him, Don Vesson in the bullpen.

1500
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:27,000
LeBine set on the 1-0 pitch. Skinner takes the curve down low ball two, 2-0.

1501
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:31,000
It's a very quiet beginning of the eighth inning. Smith batted for low and bounced

1502
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:35,000
out and Majorski flied out. Then Fondy singled the centers. Clemente doubled off

1503
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:40,000
the screen and right to chase in Fondy. And Thomas singled the left to chase in

1504
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Clemente. So it's Brooklyn four, Pirate three, still two out. LeBine turns and

1505
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:51,000
throws to first to keep Mejias near the bag.

1506
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:59,000
LeBine comes set. The 2-0 pitch to Bott Skinner. Curve over for the strike,

1507
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:06,000
2-1. So the elusive final out in the eighth inning has been tough to come by.

1508
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:10,000
Considering that Magley had not pitched in 20 days, she did surprisingly well

1509
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:14,000
today. Ran out of gas with two out in the eighth.

1510
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:21,000
LeBine set. Clem delivers two and one to Skinner. A sinker, cut on and missed,

1511
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,000
two and two.

1512
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:31,000
Deuces wild with two out and so will the Pirates. They've scored two in the eighth.

1513
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:36,000
Brooklyn four, Pittsburgh three in the first of two. Sandy Koufax and Bob

1514
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:43,000
Corky in the second game. LeBine comes set. The 2-2 pitch. Curve ball low,

1515
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:48,000
ball free. After Skinner comes third baseman, Dean Cleaves.

1516
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:55,000
Elroy Cleaves going in the Pirate Bowl pen, as we said, best in the Dodger pen.

1517
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:07,000
LeBine squeezing that ball, trying to age it. Bob Skinner batting for Dean Baker.

1518
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:12,000
Three and two, two out. Throw to first, Mejias ready to go, has to get back to

1519
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:16,000
the bag. We'll have a cold shaper and stay right with us. This one's still in the

1520
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:22,000
air. LeBine set. Mejias goes. The 3-2 is cut on and grounded foul, right by

1521
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:25,000
first base coach Danny Murtaugh.

1522
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:39,000
Magley works seven and two third innings, gave up seven hits. He walked just one

1523
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:48,000
man and struck out two. Mejias at first base is Magley's responsibility. LeBine

1524
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:52,000
set, takes a peek. Mejias goes. A 3-2 cut on, fouled away again, so the tension

1525
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:54,000
mounts.

1526
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:12,000
LeBine looking over at first. Hodges not holding with the left hand batter up

1527
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,000
and with a count three and two. He's directly back of the bag and ready to jump

1528
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:22,000
back to a normal depth. Big Skinner waiting. Three and two the count. LeBine

1529
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:28,000
comes set. The 3-2 pitch, Mejias goes. It's cut on, it's a high fly ball to

1530
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:34,000
right field. Frillo going back to the wall, turns and grabs it. And Adams

1531
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:39,000
standing here at Forksfield as Bob Skinner flies deep to right and Frillo

1532
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:47,000
halts it in near the wall. In the eighth inning for Pittsburgh, two runs, all

1533
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:51,000
with two out on three consecutive hits. A single, a double, and a single. One man

1534
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:58,000
left off. So at the end of eight innings of play, the score, Brooklyn four, the

1535
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:05,000
Pirates three. Change for the Pittsburgh Pirates as we go to the top of the ninth

1536
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:09,000
inning. Frillo will be the first batter. Taking up the changes, they'll get them all

1537
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:14,000
to it. Well Paul Smith, who batted for Vernon Law, is now in left field. Ray

1538
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Mejias started to go out. He got past the infield and they called him back. So Paul

1539
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:22,000
Smith remains in the ninth spot in the lineup and in left field. Walter Olson

1540
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:26,000
going out to check with Frank Secori to see how Bobby Bregan going to play his

1541
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:30,000
men. Smith of course, having hit for the pitcher, must remain in ninth spot. Buddy

1542
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:34,000
Pritchard has taken over at short and the pitcher is Elroy Face. Now what Olson

1543
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:39,000
wants to find out is whether Pritchard will hit after Face or before him. And he

1544
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:43,000
has found out. It has not been announced over the public address system. We'll

1545
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:48,000
take a little guess and say that Pritchard will hit in the shortstop spot and

1546
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:51,000
that Face would hit ahead of him. Maybe we can find out now. Here's the

1547
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:58,000
announcement. Yes, there it is and we get correctly. First time this year. Face

1548
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:12,000
will be in the clean up spot, then Pritchard fifth and Smith ninth.

1549
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:16,000
Carl Furlow, then Gil Hodges and Roy Campanile in the ninth inning, Brooklyn

1550
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:21,000
four and the Pirates three. Elroy Face delivers and Furlow takes a strike on one.

1551
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Carl batting three twenty-two. So if you're keeping score, your lineup should read

1552
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:30,000
this way. Mazurowski, Fondy, Clemente, Face, Pritchard, Freese, Verdon, Foyles

1553
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:37,000
and Smith. For strike one pitch, DeFrillo is cut out and fouled away. Oh and two.

1554
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:42,000
When the Pirates bat in the bottom of the ninth inning, they're due to send up

1555
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Freese, Verdon and Foyles. So Vernon Law pitched eight innings, gave up four runs,

1556
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:59,000
nine hits. Did not walk a man, struck out one. Face's replacement comes back oh

1557
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:03,000
and two and the pitch is cut on as a high fly ball to deep left field. Starting to

1558
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:06,000
go foul, Paul Smith over in the corner, leans up against the wall and grabs it

1559
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:12,000
for the out. Paul Smith going beyond the Dodger bullpen, right into the corner, up

1560
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:17,000
against the base of the bleacher wall to grab it. DeFrillo fouls out to the left

1561
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:27,000
of the batter, one out. Gil Hodges twice bounced out and single to short. Gil batting

1562
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:33,000
three thirty-eight.

1563
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:44,000
Face winds and delivers to Gil who takes his strike on one. The Dodgers saw a face

1564
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:47,000
the other night in that eleven inning ball game when the Pittsburgh Pirates

1565
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:52,000
defeated Brooklyn three-two. Face was a winner. It's two and three with the lead.

1566
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:56,000
Elroy back on one, the pitch cut on and missed oh and two. Big Hodges going all

1567
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:08,000
the way around. Brooklyn four, Pirates three, ninth inning and the first of two.

1568
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Face winds a strike two pitch. Hodges takes low and outside, ball one. Don Vesson

1569
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:17,000
continues to fire away in the bullpen in the event that LaFine might stagger,

1570
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:24,000
pitching to the Pirates in the bottom of the ninth. Face delivers one and two.

1571
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:40,000
Hodges checks his swing and the curve is low, two and two. Two balls, two strikes.

1572
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Face getting a sign now from Hank Foyles. Two two-pitch to Hodges, cut on and

1573
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:50,000
missed strike three.

1574
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:56,000
It's all face strikes out of man. The Dodgers have gotten on the quiet side as far as

1575
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:01,000
their bats are concerned. Last nine men have gone out in order since Hodges

1576
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:06,000
singled in the sixth. Campanella hit into a double play and then one two three.

1577
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:10,000
So with two out on the ninth inning, Brooklyn leading four to three. The batter is Roy

1578
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:17,000
Campanella. He struck out, doubled, hit into the double play. Campy batting two forty-five.

1579
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Face delivers, curve low, ball one. So there'll be a lot of noise in the bottom of the

1580
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:30,000
ninth so get your cold shaker, stay comfortable if you can and we'll find out about this one.

1581
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:34,000
The one-oh pitch to Campanella. Curve cut on and bounce down to Majaroski. He's up with it

1582
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:38,000
cleanly, turns and makes his play.

1583
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:42,000
Okay the last ten Dodgers in a row have gone out. The end of eight and a half innings.

1584
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Brooklyn four, Pirates three. We'll find out about Mrs. Fries, Ferdinand Foyles in just a minute or so.

1585
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:51,000
But right now let's see what Al has on his mind.

1586
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:57,000
There'll be a ball game going here too huh? Last half of the ninth inning. Ben, you all ready?

1587
02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:02,000
Well we'll see now. Brooklyn four and the Pirates three. Clem LaFide who has not been

1588
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:07,000
feeling too well of late has a big assignment now to keep the Pirates quiet in the bottom of the ninth

1589
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:12,000
inning trying to save this one for Sal Magley who pushed very well for seven and two third innings

1590
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:17,000
and then ran out of gas. Magley allowed three runs and seven hits, walk one and struck out two.

1591
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:22,000
LaFide had to get the last out in the eighth inning and is now taking dead aim on the ninth.

1592
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:27,000
He'll be pitching to Gene Fries, then Bill Burton and the catcher Hank Foyles.

1593
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Fries has flied to left, struck out and hit back to the box. Gene batting two, twenty-five.

1594
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:38,000
Okay the last of the ninth is here. Four three Brooklyn.

1595
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:44,000
LaFide goes to his wind up now. Fries waiting. The first pitch is sinkered down low, ball one.

1596
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:49,000
And this crowd which had to more or less sit quietly through seven innings really had something to cheer

1597
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:54,000
about on the eighth and they're not kind of quiet in anticipation here on the ninth.

1598
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:59,000
The one-one pitch to Gene Fries. Curveball in for the strike, one and one.

1599
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:06,000
This is the first of two. The second game it will be Sandy Koufax pitted against Bob Perkey.

1600
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:15,000
The outfield swung around towards left. Charlie Neal is up a step, just about even with the bag at third.

1601
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:20,000
The one-one pitch to Fries. Fastball a line drive at Hodges.

1602
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:27,000
Fries at the line drive right at Hodges left hip. Gill just snares it for the out, one down.

1603
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:37,000
That brings up center fielder Bill Verton who has bounced out second to first, struck out and bounced out again.

1604
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,000
Bill batting two hundred.

1605
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:48,000
The fine wines comes to the plate. Sinker cut on and fouled away.

1606
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Oh and one.

1607
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Jay Fribeard delighted to send you all the excitement from Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.

1608
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:58,000
Brooklyn for Pittsburgh three.

1609
02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:00,000
Third tenth meeting of the year.

1610
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,000
For Dodgers having taken five of nine.

1611
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:07,000
Fries have taken three out of the five played here.

1612
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:10,000
Oh and one.

1613
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:15,000
The bind was lined up to strike one pitch. Cut on and squirted away foul right off the end of Verdon's stick.

1614
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,000
Oh and two.

1615
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:21,000
Bill with one home run. Twelve runs batted in.

1616
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:43,000
The bind ready. Now the strike two pitch to Bill Verton. Cut on and bounce it down to second baseman Gilliam who is up with it cleanly and makes his play.

1617
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,000
Two out on the bottom of the ninth.

1618
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:52,000
So Bill Verton in this series with Brooklyn thus far and he is the man the Pirates count heavily upon to get those base hits.

1619
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Verton against Brooklyn went all for eleven. The only time he get on base they gave him an intentional was.

1620
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:01,000
So it's a big man to keep quiet.

1621
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:06,000
Two out of the ninth. Here's Hank Foyles who has bounced out doubled and flied to right.

1622
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:12,000
Foyles batting two sixty-eight. Two out bottom of the ninth. Brooklyn four Pirates three.

1623
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:16,000
The bind ready and delivers and Foyles takes a strike on one.

1624
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:22,000
The end of three innings Cardinals two Cincinnati one at the end of two innings no score Cubs and Milwaukee.

1625
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:26,000
The end of nine innings a one one tie the Phillies and the Giants.

1626
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:34,000
The bind ready to strike one pitch Foyles swings a high slicing fly ball going foul down the right field line and back into the stands.

1627
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,000
Good edge in standing here oh and two.

1628
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:44,000
The American League the White Sox leading Cleveland two nothing at the end of two innings a one one tie Kansas City and Detroit at the end of two.

1629
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:49,000
It is five to one Washington over the Yankees at the end of seven and five to four.

1630
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:53,000
Baltimore over the Red Sox at the end of five.

1631
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:00,000
Oh and two the count to Hank Foyles.

1632
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:06,000
The bind trying to nail it down for Magley comes sidearm with a curve and there's a high pop fly into shallow right field.

1633
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:11,000
Gilliam backing out turns grabs it to the out and the Dodgers win it four to three.

1634
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:17,000
So the bind saves his sixth ball game of the year in relief saving this one for Sal Magley.

1635
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,000
The Dodgers win it four to three.

1636
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:22,000
They'll be about a 15 minute intermission boys.

1637
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:28,000
Have your cold shaver light up a lucky and now to get the totals from now let's jump right over to him.

1638
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:33,000
Here are the totals for the Dodgers to win it four runs nine hits no errors they had two men left on.

1639
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:36,000
Big home run hit by Duke Snyder his ninth of the year in the sixth inning.

1640
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:39,000
He's driven in three runs he drove in two with that home run.

1641
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Magley wins it his record is now two and one.

1642
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:46,000
And as far as Pittsburgh can turn this year two wins no loss.

1643
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:50,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates had three runs seven hits no errors they had five men left on.

1644
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:54,000
The losing pitcher is Vernon Law whose record is now two and two.

1645
02:07:54,000 --> 02:08:18,000
And he's 0 and 1 now with the first and Dodgers.
