The Oakland A's faced the Milwaukee Brewers at Cowanee Stadium for a Saturday night game
on May 26, 1979. After three straight World Series wins and five trips to the playoffs
in the early 1970s, by 1979 the Magic in Oakland was gone. Having lost more than 90 games and
gone through five managers in the past three seasons, the A's looked to new manager Jim
Marshall to lead the team. Milwaukee was moving in the other direction. They hired George
Bamberger as their manager in 1978 and he was able to lead the team to its first season
over 500 in franchise history, winning 93 games. This audio recording is from the Milwaukee
Radio broadcast featuring announcers Merle Harmon and Bob Euker.
So Harry, the first question today comes from John Kudronowicz from Milwaukee. Dear Harry,
I am just writing to find out why the Brewers do not have any twine-eyed double hitters
on their schedule. Thank you.
Well John, we do have one now. It is a make-up with the Detroit Tigers. It will be on the
night of July 6th. We will play a twine-eyed. We do not put them in their regular schedule
for a couple of reasons. Number one, they are tougher on the ball players. A night schedule
is a tough schedule anyway in the long season we have. But to play two games at night is
just a little bit tougher on the ball. So we try and stay away for that reason. We are
not positive that the fans like them that much either. There is an overlap in that you
start before people are off work completely and maybe cannot get out to see the start
of it. And then they usually go pretty late into the evening. Sometimes it is too late
for people to stay. So you really, unlike an afternoon doubleheader, you really tax the
fan a little bit maybe to see all 18 innings. So for those reasons we do not have twine-eyed
doubleheaders. We do have two day doubleheaders this year, a Sunday July 8th and a Sunday
August 5th.
Okay Harry, now questions for Harry Dalton after this. John from the Brewers Radio Network.
This is Dick Van Dyke. I wish I could understand that, but I know people who do. They are amateur
radio operators and they also know a lot about the technical side of radio. Why do I care?
Because I am grateful they exist. Hams provide a huge reservoir of technical talent for our
nation in case we need them. This country needed them in a hurry in times of war. Communities
need them in times of disasters, you well know. And then as a bonus, these radio amateurs
make friends for us all around the world. The amateur service has all kinds of networks
like for iBanks and hurricane watches. Lonesome servicemen overseas get to talk to their families
by radio. And young and old are welcome to join in. For free information, write the American
Radio Relay League, Newington Connecticut 06111. Soon you'll know what this means.
Harry, the next question from Dennis Olson and Dave Dussel from Fox City WBLR. And the
letter says, Dear Harry, there have been eight unassisted triple plays in major league history.
The last man to do it was Washington Senator shortstop Ron Hanson in 1968. Have you ever
seen an unassisted triple play? If so, how was it accomplished?
No, Merle, I haven't. That's a rare sight. I think Hanson's is the only one that's been
made in the big leagues since the 1920s. I think the 37, one of which was in the World
Series, incidentally, I think the 37 were all fired in 1930 and Hanson's is the only
one in recent history. It seems that we have a man working for us in our plotting system
and Johnny Noon, who made an unassisted double play, a triple play I should say, in 1927.
He was a pre-taker in those days with the Detroit Tigers. And incidentally, he played
with Ty Cobb. And he made an unassisted triple play at first against the Cleveland ball club.
And Johnny told me about that two times, but I've never seen one.

Oh, great master. I traveled far to seek your wisdom.
Close the door. It's cold there.
Sir, I crave the meaning of life.
How do you earn your bread, my son? Do you kill the soil?
No.
You send sheep?
I'm an advertising, sir.
Advertising.
Fascinating.
Yes, sir. I'm in a big hurry. I have to be in Fiji tomorrow to shoot a television commercial.
Fiji?
Yes.
I'm in a place there that looks exactly like Columbus, Ohio.
Why not go to Columbus, Ohio?
Look, I'm just here for some wisdom.
All right. Let me check my wisdom books.
Oh, thank you.
Go with radio.
What?
Looks to me like a fantastic buy.
Oh, and it's important with me.
This is important. Listen, newspaper cost per thousand is up 99% since 1967.
TV is up 90%.
Sir?
But radio cost is only up 38%.
38%.
And it says radio's audience is bigger than ever.
But what about happiness?
Use radio. It's great impact. It applies. You can still afford and you'll be very happy.
That's it?
Yes. I'm going to close the door real tight.
Next time you're talking to an authority on advertising, ask about radio.
It's right on the button. A message from the radio advertising bureau.
Good evening, everyone. Merle Herman at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
It's another nice night for baseball.
As the Brewers take on the Oakland A's, we had over 20,000 last night.
So that's about 27,000 this evening to see if the Brewers can take the A's in game two.
Good rivalry this year. The A's beat the Brewers three out of four on the coach.
Now the Brewers are trying to return the favor in the pregame weekend series here.
Hope you're on your way to the ballpark right now.
Jimmy Slayton will pitch for the Brewers tonight.
And our pregame guest is Dave Revering, who will not be in the lineup tonight for the Oakland A's.
I'll be back with Dave after this message on the Brewer Radio Network.

Dave Revering, one of the fine ball players on this Oakland ball club, will not be in the lineup tonight
because he's got a couple of fingers taped together. What happened, Dave?
I've dislocated middle fingers and luckily they weren't broken in the joint.
I played against Chicago Thursday night and I didn't notice it until yesterday I guess when I got warm.
I went to the hospital and they popped it back in the joint and taped it together.
So when will you be back in the lineup?
They said five days but I think I'll play tomorrow.
You're kidding. I'm going to play tomorrow.
Can you handle the glove and everything all right and throw all right and bat all right?
I can probably hit all right so I'll probably DH.
DH enough?
Hey Dave, you were involved in a rather bizarre trade with the Cincinnati Reds and the Oakland A's.
Tell us about it.
Well I was traded two years ago to Oakland for vital blue and a million dollars
and it took three and a half months for them to solve that and finally the commissioner said it wasn't in the best interest of baseball
because he didn't know what kind of ball player I was and that's probably understandable since he never saw me play.
And it was one week before I was to go to spring training I got traded again to Oakland for Doug Bear who led the National League last year in the ERA
and so I made the All-Star team over here so I guess it worked out both ways good.
What happened to the million dollars? I didn't get any of that.
I didn't get any of that either so I guess Charlie was going to get it all. I don't know.
That must have been something though sitting around wondering where do I go to spring training to Florida or to Arizona?
Well I had that option too so I couldn't go back to the Meyer League and I was kind of in limbo I guess you know in your 24
and you're wondering where you're going to go because I knew I get to play over here every day
and over there I knew I wasn't going to get to play every day so I was hoping to come over here.
And the way things are going over here now sometimes I wonder if I'm happy to be over here or not.
What'd you get in your RBI zone?
Yeah luckily you know I'm getting on base. When the guy does get on base like I get one shot at a game
and I've been fortunate to knock him in. You know some teams get three or four shots a game where you know they knock a couple in
but I've been getting one and luckily I've been knocking him in.
How old are you now? I'm 26.
Well you've still got a long way to go so who knows what's going to happen in the next three.
I just hope you don't have to sit around for three months to find out where you're going though.
Well it's June 15th you know coming around and that's the trading deadline and maybe I get traded you never know.
You're going to have to come down a little bit though because there's going to be $400,000 involved cash wise for you now.
Well I don't get any of that money anyway unfortunately.
Dave last weekend you fellows were really up I thought for the Brewers especially after you won that Saturday afternoon game
and it looked like you came charged out for the kill on Sunday. Was that your best series of the year so far?
Yeah that was. We played good defense and our pitching was good later in the game.
You know like 7th, 8th and 9th they came in left handers got the left handers out and the right handers got the right handers out.
Whereas last night we used Bob Lacey against the right handers and we didn't fare so well.
So yeah when we hit the ball we did everything good you know so I'm hoping we can do that more often.
You seem to keep your sense of humor in all this thing that's surrounding the A's.
Well yeah well I personally I have to you know if you take everything that happens here in Oakland seriously
like people not coming to the ballpark, the Coliseum Leafs, Kelly doing this and so and so it'll drive you crazy.
So I just take the attitude that I get paid to play baseball and I come to the park and have a good time and play the game.
And you lock everything else out of your mind.
Yeah you have to there's no doubt about it you have to. Maybe like in New York or Boston or somewhere where it was going good you could do that but not here.
Now Dave as a fellow who really came out of a super class organization the Cincinnati Reds one of the best in baseball
I would imagine that some of the younger fellows on this team and here you are at the age of 26 one of the old pros on the team
I would imagine some of these young fellows look to you for a lot of leadership.
Well you know some of the guys are coming after you by hitting you know some of the pitchers since I've seen them you know for a year or so
and I'm still learning some of the pitches myself so I try to help as much as I can but I usually keep my mouth shut and let them come and ask me.
You had a good year RBI wise last year. What were you looking at this year?
I would imagine I don't know how good of a home run hitter are you first of all?
Well I think you have to be a good park to hit home run. This one here is and the one in Oakland is not.
But I mean do you call yourself home run hitter or not?
Well I'm more of a line drive hitter.
Right. Okay now let's go back to the RBI. How many runs can you produce?
That depends on the three men in front of me. Now if I get on base say if I get three cracks again and not somebody in second or third base
I feel like I can knock one out of three at every time you know. So if that happens I'm sure I can get 80 RBI.
So you're telling me you're a better hitter with men on base?
Well I know it's a bad habit sometimes nobody on I don't concentrate as much as I should and that's where like an older hitter like Larry Heisler or something
he concentrates all the time and sometimes I get lax.
You know this word concentration is becoming it would seem that it's becoming more and more important every day in baseball.
Well it is because the pitching up there is good you know it's so good that if you go up there and you just sort of you know half half acid sort of speaks
they're going to get you out and you have to bear down every time.
Back with Dave Reverend after this message on the Brewer Radio Network.
I didn't know you were working.
Hi Marsha. I've been here about a month.
Couldn't be happier.
Of course. With your green thumb.
It helps being a member of the garden club. All those courses we took on flower arranging.
You were so good at it. You're a natural for a florist.
That's what job service said. They matched me up with this job.
Job service?
That's where the good jobs are.
You know they actually keep in touch with employers so they know where the good job openings are.
Hmm. I've been so tempted sometimes to go back to my fashion buying.
You've got a professional at job service to help you.
You know I think I will stop here.
It doesn't cost a thing for you or the store that hires you.
You've got me working already.
Oh not quite.
But hey I told you on job service but I haven't told you any flowers.
roses, mums, carnations for the ladies.
Good jobs. Job service. Stop in. Have we got a match for you.
Time out for your favorite radio game show the bicycle safety pyramid.
I'm your host Bob Strachan.
I'll leave you with a guest over in Minnesota. I believe you fellas will go over there.
Leave us alone tomorrow will you?
Well I'm trying to do my best. I'm going to try to play tomorrow.
Well we wish you well. We really do.
Good luck to you and thanks for getting here.
Okay thank you.
Dave Reverend with us. Stay tuned now for George Bamberger coming up next on the Brewer Radio Network.
Well I had to fire Horace today.
Horace?
Third elephant on the list.
Oh that's too bad.
Told him to pack his trunk and just get out.
Really? I thought he was working for peanuts.
Well he is but will you see that motorcycle over there?
Yeah.
I got six elephants ride that cycle three shows a day.
All of them wear protective gear.
Oh I can see the long sleeve jackets, the boots, the helmets, the long trousers, the whole works.
All except for Horace.
Oh that's terrible.
I can't have that in my show.
Of course not.
Last Thursday, second show, he comes out with booze on his breast.
Fell off the cycle, knocked out the whole first row.
I had to give him all a refund before I could see a point.
Booze and cycles don't mix.
And at the top it all off he's a big show off. He's only been riding three months and he insists on speeding.
He almost knocked over Hilda.
Hilda the bearded lady.
No the one with the tattoo.
Oh that one.
Well you know no protective gear, drinking, speeding. I can see why you don't want Horace to ride the motorcycle.
I'll tell you the truth, I'm getting out of the elephant business altogether.
Yeah I know what you mean. This place is turning into a three ring circus.
It's driving me bananas.
What are you going to get into?
Gorillas.
A message from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
Band restaurant.
Merle Harmon again with manager George Bamberger.
Hey another close one last night.
Yes that was a very good game. That Oakland club plays us tough.
They really have a pretty good ball club. Not too much experience.
They have a lot of young ball players on it. Good picking staff.
So they give us a lot of trouble anyway.
So it was a good game for us to win.
Mike Harwell settled down. He had a little rough going beginning with ground balls going in here and there.
But he settled down and crossed it on a seven thing. Mike that's when he gets tough and we scored a run.
And Mike held him and we won three to two.
So that's a big tough for us.
That's a tough for Mike because it looks like he's back in the groove.
The game before his control wasn't what it should be.
He had ankle problems so that's kind of foul.
So it looks like Mike's back where he was before.
A moment ago you talked about early innings for pitchers and sometimes they have trouble and so forth.
No it seems to me that all great pitchers like Harwell do have trouble for the first few innings.
And the reason why they warm up for 15 minutes for a game.
They get themselves in the groove.
But there's no hitters up there and it don't count.
They're more or less a little more relaxed.
And then the game starts they have to do the same thing all over again.
They're not sure and over if they aim low they're not sure if the ball's going to go low or high.
And they're more or less feeling their way.
And one of the great pitchers takes two or three innings to feel their way.
And I've seen this with Parham and McNally, Quaia and of course even Serrano seems to have that problem a little bit.
We'll be back with George Bamberger after this message on the Brewer Radio Network.
The George Bamberger Show is brought to you by Canada Dry.
She's gorgeous. What can I say to meet her?
I gotta say something different. Cool, witty, sensitive, worldly.
Oh wait I got it. Okay here goes.
Hi there.
Hello.
You know every time you mix a drink two thirds of what you put into your glass just makes it out.
No kidding.
It's that two thirds that makes or breaks the taste of your drink.
Oh thank you.
That's why more people mix with Canada Dry than any other drink.
Oh I know what it is.
Canada Dry Club Soda has pinpoint carbonation for long lasting bubbles.
Oh that something to remember.
Canada Dry Tonic Water is distinctively smooth.
How interesting.
And Canada Dry Ginger Ale is crisp and dry.
Oh sensitive and worldly.
Say can I get you to have dinner with me tomorrow night?
No. But you can mix me a drink.
Since two thirds of your drink is mixed, mix your mixer Canada Dry.
Well your right fielder came back with a bang last night and I noticed you've got another lineup change tonight.
Right, Cisco did a super job last night cause he's done a super job all year.
But that's the type of ball player he is.
He's got great power to the opposite field and they threw him a low speed pitch the second time he pulled the header line drive out over the left field fence.
And cause he made a great play in a nice setting. That was really a very very important play.
But he is one of the finest right fielder in baseball if not the finest.
Now lineup changes.
Yeah Molotov, I'm resting him tonight.
The reason why I'm resting him is we have...
Oh he's doing a super job and I think a day or two in there will be good for him.
So I feel I'm going to give him a day's rest. I'm going to move again and roll the second base tonight.
Jimmy's been doing an outstanding job. I want to keep him in the lineup as much as possible.
I want to get all the guys in the lineup as much as possible.
Last night Jimmy Wilkins played and he did a super job.
He's got two hits, very well put at three.
Looks like Coop's in a little slump though.
Yes, Coop's in a little bit of slump. Looks like he's pulling off the ball a little bit.
But he'll find himself because he's one of the great hands in the American league and there's no doubt about it.
He's going to hit three hundred as well.
How do you correct when you're pulling off the ball?
It's hard to keep talking to the head as you know you're pulling off the ball, pulling off the ball.
Keep your head in there.
And finally when the time is up go up there and they will keep their head in and make good contact and then they'll be all right.
All right George, stay tuned now for the broadcast of tonight's game between the Brewers and the A's coming up next on the Brewer Radio Network.

Now on 25 and lost 25 games over the 500 mark, the Oakland A's have won 15 and lost 30, 15 games under the 500 mark.
The American League standings look like this.
In the Eastern Division, Baltimore was leading starting today's action two and a half games over the second place, Boston Redbacks.
The Brewers picked up a half a game last night. Milwaukee now trails Baltimore by four and a half.
The Yankees have dropped to five.
Detroit trails nine games.
Cleveland, nine and one half.
And the Toronto Blue Jays at 18. That was starting today's action.
In the Western Division, Minnesota held a game and a half lead over the second place, California Angels.
California beat the White Sox today, and the Kansas City Royals topped Minnesota.
So the Twins now lead second place California by only one half game.
Texas is two games back. Kansas City at one and a half. They have moved into third place now.
Chicago trails three and a half. Seattle, ten and one half.
And the Oakland A's in last place trail 12 games to the front-running Minnesota Twins.
The Brewers and the Oakland A's will wind up the series tomorrow afternoon.
It'll be right-hander Larry Sorensen going against Steve McAddy in the windup.
Then on Monday, the New York Yankees visit County Stadium for a four-game series.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Parts, the Yankees did not get a victory here at County Stadium last year.
It ought to be a big series coming up against the New Yorkers starting on Monday.
The Brewers being introduced individually now.
It's going to be a nice crowd again at County Stadium. The Brewers had 22,000-plus for their game last night.
And the crowd tonight appears to be all around 20, 19 to 20,000, maybe a little more.
They're still coming in, and there's still plenty of room for you out here.
A breeze tonight blowing from left again to our right field.
Same kind of wind we had out here last night.
Sixth-doll Lescano was the hero in last night's game. He scored all three runs.
Thomas knocked in the winner. Lescano with a pair of home runs last night.
He walked his last time up and then scored the winning run as the Brewers topped Oakland by a score of 3-2.
The A's won three of four plays in Oakland on the Brewers' most recent trip.
But the Brewers are on a hot home stand.
They beat California three in a row, and they topped Oakland last night.
They have now won four straight.
Now from County Stadium, the Sheboygan Choir will sing our national anthem.
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Nice job on the national anthem by the Sheboygan Falls High School Choir.
Now making their way off the field, and right-hander Jim Slayton trots out to the mound to start his warm-up pitches to catcher Charlie Moore.
The Brewers have played red-hot baseball here at County Stadium.
They have now won 14 of 18 games played here in Milwaukee.
They've also upped their team batting average to a robust 289.
The Brewer pitching staff has completed 11 of the 18 games played here.
They've also upped their team batting average to a robust 289.
And they have won 10.
Talking about the Brewer pitching staff, they lead the American League in five departments.
Let's see, three departments.
The Brewers total five leading categories in the American League in home runs with 55 and walks with 200.
The pitching staff has 24 complete games.
And only 119 walks have been issued.
That's the fewest.
So things have been going nicely here at County Stadium, and hopefully the Brewers can continue tonight.
As right-hander Jimmy Slayton was really pitched in some tough games his last three times out, the Brewers just haven't scored any runs for him.
Slayton has only allowed a total of six runs, but has only won one and lost two in that stretch.
But the Brewers have only scored five runs for him in his two losses and one no decision.
In the month of May, Jimmy has won one, lost two.
In 33 innings, he has only allowed seven runs for an empty 1.91 earned run average.
So Slayton's all set to go here in the top half of the first inning.
Brewers in the open days in the second of this free game weekend series.
Duane Murphy, the center fielder, is all set to lead it off and all set to lead it off with you.
Here's Murrow.
Thank you, Bob.
Duane Murphy hitting a 2.79 has four home runs and nine runs batted in.
Larry Murray will follow him and Mitchell Page will be up against Jim Slayton.
Now Jimmy starts the pumping motion.
Here's the first pitch of the ballgame.
He drops a curveball in there for a strike and it's 0-1.
56 at County Stadium tonight.
Bando is in tight at third in the event of a bunt.
Slayton back with the next pitch and it's popped a foul into the upper deck and it's 0-2.
Jim Saul is coaching at third base and Lee Walz at first.
No balls, two strikes.
The A's still have a one-game edge over the Brewers in the season series.
Here's a ball with a hard stuff down low, one ball and two strikes.
So the Brewers will try to even it up tonight.
Murphy hitting out of a close stance.
Has one home run against the Brewers staff.
Jim kicks, here's the pitch.
Popped up in the short left.
Under the ball is Robin Yacht, the shortstop, and he takes it for a number one.
Next, Larry Murray, the left fielder, riding 162 with five RBI's, no homers.
Larry Murray, this guy can really motor in the outfield.
He's a switch hitter batting left handed.
Bando staying in close at third.
Slayton leans in for the sign and Murray steps out of the batter's box.
We have time call for a moment.
And just like that we're all ready again.
Murray hits out of a close stance.
And Slayton starts him out with a fastball and rips it in there for a strike way side.
The outfield is about straight away.
Bob said the wind is blowing toward right tonight.
Slayton's pitch, drag butt, he's got to beat it out.
Here's a pickup by Gatner and a throw to first, safe.
Perfect drag butt.

9 and 1.
Murray getting a lead.
And the pitch.
He's playing a tap or foul off to the right.
2 and 2. You know, Bob, he is really getting a lead, but he's not running.
He's pretty up there.
I'm really surprised at the kind of a lead and the way he's able to get back to first.
I mean, the plays are close, but he's getting back to the bag in plenty of time ahead of Sladen's throw.
But he's getting about six steps off at first base.
He's getting a huge lead against Jimmy.
He's getting enough to take off, that's for sure.
But he's not going yet.
Now the strikes. Murray out there again.
There he goes. Here's the pitch.
We're going to ground ball to third.
Second half played by Bando.
On the first inning, it's over.
So the A's are down on the first inning.
No runs in ahead.
And one left.
After a half inning, Oakland nothing.
And Milwaukee coming to bat on the Brewer Radio Network.

Run out and get a Big Mac.
Well, in the never-ending Oakland lineup changes,
Larry Murray, who was supposed to play left field, is going to play right.
Glenn Burke, who is going to play right, is going to play left.
But don't be surprised if they move before the first pitch.
Rick Langford is on the mound for the A's.
27 years old, born in Farmville, Virginia, now lives in Braden in Florida.
The A's got him a couple of years ago from the Pittsburgh Pirates,
along with five of the players for Phil Garner and Tommy Helms.
He appeared in 37 games as a starter and a reliever last year.
He won seven and lost 13 for the 3.34 ERA.
He's a veteran member of the staff at the ripe old age of 27.
Here's Jimmy Gatner, the second baseman.
Paul Muller gets the night off tonight.
Gatner, five RBIs, no homers, 271 batting average,
and the first pitch from Langford is low and inside of all, one and all.
Gatner has a five-game hitting streak going.
Langford right back with the next pitch.
Gatner cuts and hits it off his foot.
Bow.
One and one.
One ball and a strike.
Nobody on or out.
The Brewers are batting at the bottom of the first.
Gatner, in two games last Sunday against Oakland in a double-header,
had six hits and eight times up.
Langford's pitch.
Bouncing ball to the right side.
Charged by the second baseman, Edwards, and on the first for out number one.
Robin Yacht is next, hitting a 2.37, three homers, 12 RBIs.
Yacht's four out of 22 of Oakland pitching.
The Brewers are on 14 out of the 18 at home.
A win tonight would give them a game picked up on everybody but Baltimore.
There's a swinging strike.
Another good one to Yacht.
The Brewers have had 272 as a team against the A's in the five games they've played.
Here's the next pitch.
Line drive in the right field, thinking for a base hit.
Fielded by Murray, and Yacht will hold with a single.
So Robin is on the board, and that'll bring up Cooper.
Cooper's down to 301. He's got to get it going.
He hasn't been under 300 this year.
Eight homers, 33 runs batted in for Cooper.
In the last 11 days, he's dropped 24 points.
Down in first base, Yacht with a lead.
Here comes a pitch by Langford, strike at the knees, 0-1.
Talking to George about Cooper tonight.
He knows what he's doing wrong, and so does Gorman Thomas, the checker first.
Throw over there, the runner is back.
Bob and I were talking about it last night.
He knows what he's doing wrong, and Harvey Keene keeps reminding him and Thomas,
throw to first, Yacht is back with a dive.
And he said eventually they'll both get out of it, they're pulling away.
So let's see if Coop can correct it tonight and get that bat going again.
Throw to first, Yacht is back.
No, Bob, I guess every guy in Hawaii knows what he's doing wrong,
but sometimes he just can't put it together and do it right again.
Cooper's got a bat and takes it low and outside the ball.
They can tell you all night, but if you don't feel it, you don't feel it, I guess.
I think the big thing with both Cooper and Gorman, though, is just, you know,
he's got it in front of everything, especially Gorman Thomas.
He's trying to pull everything and he's jumping out in front of pitches.
Cooper bunched and it's a foul ball.
Essien grabs it, throws to second.
Yacht went after a short stop, taking it out of the play.
Guerrero, and I think Guerrero took too kindly there, but everything's all right.
Getting back to Gorman, the ball he hit last night was a pitch kind of right down the pipe,
the ball that he knocked in the winning run with, but he kind of hit it off the end of the bat.
I think Gorman's biggest problem at times when he gets into those so-called slumps,
he's out in front of everything.
He jumps at pitches.
You know, sometimes I think Gorman will look for a pitch and if he doesn't get the pitch he's looking for,
he'll swing at a pitch anyway.
Here's the one-two offering to Cooper and it's down low, away from Essien,
over to the railing and down to second, Robin Yacht.
And a wild pitch is charged to Langford.
And the Brewers have a runner in scoring position.
I think Cecil Cooper at times, and I think Cecil would be the first to tell you this,
when he's getting into a problem area, Murl, he'll go up there and he'll hit defensively.
He'll get a pitch around the outside part, a ball that he can't handle well,
I mean a ball that he can't really hit hard, and he'll try to punch the ball to left field.
So he's hitting a pitcher's pitch.
He doesn't wait for a pitch that he can really handle, and it's a defensive kind of a swing.
Now the stretch by Langford.
Here's the pitch, Cooper takes it low into the dirt, blocked by Essien, two and two.
And you know you're doing it.
I mean every time you're up there, I think the biggest problem most hitters have is getting out front.
And you know you're out front.
You say in the back of your mind you're going to wait, wait, wait, but you're still out front.
You don't realize how quick your hands get in front of your body.
Cecil Cooper aims that bat right at the pitcher, now levels it.
Here's the stretch and the pitch.
Come on and foul-tip, and Essien holds on for a strikeout.
That was kind of an example of what you were talking about.
Well if you remember early in the season when Cooper was hitting so well, Murl,
I remember a couple of balls that he hit here at County Stadium.
One on a low change-up that he hit to dead center field for a home run in the Baltimore series.
That was against Martinez, Dennis Martinez.
The next day against Jim Palmer, same kind of a pitch.
He hit hard to right center field.
That was a change-up that time from Langford, and Cooper was still out front.
You know what I mean?
But as I said, you go through those periods and all of a sudden you come out of it
and you don't know why you were in it in the first place.
Nick Davis now out there, takes a ball low and it's one ball and no strikes.
Davis hitting 288, has driven in 10 runs and he has three homers.
Nick is 5 out of 21 against the A's, but he's hit three homers off them.
All solo shots.
Here's the pitch by Langford, off speed and it's fouled on the third base side.
And it's a ball and a strike.
Yonah's second, two down, bottom of the first inning and no score.
Davis has hit safely in six of his last seven games, that is, going 11 for 29.
If he hits a calculator with that, it'll come out at 379 average-wise.
Langford is ready, delivers, off speed, foul on foul back.
Stairs a little bit with that one, one ball and two strikes.
Lots of groups here again tonight.
I know a lot of fans are planning to be here tomorrow for the final game of this series
and then staying over Mondays for the first game of the Yankee series.
Fans are flocking in here from all over the state,
but there's still plenty of room for you for tomorrow and for the entire Yankee series.
We'll have good crowds, but absolutely no sell-outs for the Yankee series.
Somebody asked me that tonight.
No sell-outs for the four Yankee games.
Here's the one-two pitch.
Foul on a play upstairs.
Have a group here tonight.
A lot of tailgaters out tonight.
They also brought the water to douse the cold.
Thank you.
And the grass bags to carry away the paper plates and stuff.
Groups from Concordia College, Sheboygan and Kohler, and the Conways,
all that big tailgate party.
Here's the one-two pitch.
Struck about swinging. Davis is gone.
And the snow runs and they hit one left.
After one inning, Oakland nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.
Come on, discovered America.
Now I've been up and discovering Jacks.
From the prairie to the urban, it's a great hill or a smack.
Turn this city family and they won't hold back.
There's always been a big, tough guy in the sky.
The frozen pizza that tastes like a lady from scratch.
Jacks, available at fine food stores everywhere.
Jacks origin are the great American pizza.
The cheesy like no cherry you have ever seen.
The fruity contemporary driving the scene.
Chevy's got a chubby, a whole new kind of Chevy with the whole of front wheel drive.
This is a Chevy with the whole of front wheel drive.
Introducing Cytation, the first Chevy of the 80s,
and the first front wheel drive with Chevy behind it.
With standard features like rack and chain and steering,
four-speed overdrive transmission, front and rear stabilizer bars,
radio-plied tires, and a unitized body by Fisher.
It's the first Chevy of the 80s.
The first Chevy of the 90s.
And the new Chevy's finally come back.
This is the car you had in mind.
The 1980 Chevy Cytation America, drive it now.
Chevy Cytation.
In the second inning, Wayne Gross will bat first for the A's, hitting a 290.
Seven home runs and 23 runs by the N for the big left-handed batter.
And Clayton's breaking ball is up there as 1-0.
Kansas City beat Minnesota. The Twins are starting to slip.
Here's a 1-0 pitch. High again, 2-0.
The Angels are now only a half game behind the Twins in the Western Division
after the Angels beat the White Sox and Kansas City knocked up Minnesota.
Here's ball three, high outside to Gross.
Well, let's see if the light's on.
Jim Saul sending a sign to the plate.
Gross has good power.
Three balls for those strikes.
Clayton throws.
A little bit low, balls.
Moore held the post for a minute. He thought it was a fair pitch.
So Gross is the first for the walk, number 1 on Clayton.
Here's Glenn Burke.
Burke was supposed to be the right fielder and Sandy is the left fielder.
Burke batting 226. City has two runs batted in.
Clayton out of the stretch holding. Here's the pitch.
Burke takes a strike at the knees, 0-1.
Brewer baseball brought to you by Pabst Blue Ribbon, dear.
Here's how you can enjoy a great doubleheader every night just for yourself.
A couple of mugs of ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Gross the lead again. Here's the pitch.
Burke hits the foul down the right fiel line back into the stands and it's 0-2.
Big tailgate party tonight out in front of the center field fence.
They must have had about 3,000 out there in this one combined party
headed by Donahue's and Derry's and several other pubs around the city.
Also a big game from West Bend.
Here's the check at first. Down comes the pitch.
A little bit low and it's one ball and two strikes.
The Oak Lane's from Juneau tailgate party celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the owners.
I'm not sure if that's the bowling alley or wedding anniversary.
Here's the 1-2 pitch to Burke and he's upstairs for that one, 2-2.
And the Big Kelly's massage parlor tailgate party tonight.
They had over 300 out there. I think they have about five or six a year.
Very nice people. No, they're really not in the massage parlor business.
That's a gag name.
The stretch, the pitch. Breaking ball hanging high and inside.
Slayton, that was ahead of Burke. Now he's behind him, 3-2.
Three balls, two strikes. Nobody out. A runner at first.
Gross, getting a lead. He's on with a free ride.
Jimmy Slayton glances over at the runner and he is on the way.
Here's the pitch, 3-2. Broken bat, ground ball off the goal.
A glove of Slayton back into a yaut and no play.
Had Slayton not touched that ball, yaut would have had a play.
But it deflected when sailing off his glove and away from yaut into the hole at short.
And yaut kept the ball from going into short left field, which would have allowed Gross to go into third.
So it's a base hit, the second of the game.
And while Essien comes up, ten seconds for identification.
You're on the Brewer, Radio Network.
This is the Big 94 from the Door Peninsula, WDOR-FM, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
Merlin Bob with you at County Stadium.
Big Tim Travada just brought the group list in. He's got a lot of them here tonight.
Jim Essien is the batter, hitting a 2-22.
Bando has been over the mound to talk to Slayton. There's nobody out.
Essien squaring around. He's got a butt.
He left the bat out there, but he took the pitch down low ball. It's one and 0.
Essien is giving the butt away, which makes you a little suspicious
that he might step back and take a whack at it with the infield charging.
Now it looks like Essien's going to talk to bat, which means he might mutt.
Here's the stretch by Slayton, and the pitch is going to swing away.
Takes a strike, a fast ball.
One ball and one strike to Essien.
Cooper is staying in close at first and Bando at third.
Slayton works to the big catcher. Here's the pitch. He's around the bunt again.
Takes it high for a ball. And it's two and one.
Gross is taking a big jump off second with a pitch, and Yop's getting a little closer to him every time.
Two balls to strike. He's cutting in behind him.
Gross grabbing a lead again.
Slayton delivers. Essien takes inside ball three.
Come on, Jimmy. Three balls and a strike.
Three and one to Essien.
Slayton is digging himself a ditch right here.
Now he throws to Essien, and he pops it up.
Around the plate, Moore can't find the ball. Somebody's got to help.
Here comes Cooper. Here comes Bando. It's going to be Coupe.
And the ball rolls right up his heart and he held onto it.
Charlie Moore couldn't find the ball.
It was right up above him, but when he looked around, he threw his arms out.
He couldn't pick the ball up. He could have lost it in the light.
But he put his arms out and told everybody, hey, I don't know where it is. I need help.
And both Bando and Cooper came down.
I think the infield fly rule was on anyway. One out.
It was on.
One down, two at a board.
Here's Guerrero, back of the lineup, after going to Oakland for a physical exam.
He's hitting a 2.31 with eight runs batted in.
One out, two at a board. Slayton is ready at the belt. Here's the pitch.
Breaking ball hangs inside. One and 0.
Now Charlie Moore is going to the mound to talk to Slayton.
Well, let's see.
Lots and lots of groups here this evening, including Brookfield Congregational United Church,
Modern Woodman, 28-68,
Codricks Bar, J&R's Bar, and Emmanuel Lutheran Church, and
Decephe's Pizza, and Concordia College.
We mentioned them. They had a big tailgate party.
Guerrero with an open stance. Cox the bat high. Here's the pitch.
One on a miss. One and one.
One ball and one strike.
No score at the top of the second at Cowdy Stadium.
Slayton works on Guerrero. Mario fouls it off on the first base side, back into the sand.
One and two.
Well, you enjoy your tailgate party.
Even more when you bring along some Johnsonville Poli sausage.
So try some delicious Johnsonville Poli sausage on your next tailgate party.
One ball and two strikes to Guerrero.
Slayton delivers. Mario, it's a fly ball to center.
Backing up is Dorman Thomas, now into Mexico. Tagging a second gross.
He's going to hold. The ball comes right into the cutoff man, Robin Young.
With two down, Mike Edwards will be up.
Batting 2-0-3 with seven runs batted in.
No homers.
Two down, two on, second inning, no score.
Seattle and Texas are underway. Down at Arlington, no score at the end of one.
Inside the Phillies, one to one at the end of four.
Slayton now works to Edwards, who takes it high for ball one.
Cincinnati beat the Dodgers 3-1 this afternoon. Did they have a ball last night in Los Angeles as the Dodgers hammered the Reds?
Here's the next pitch. I'll let a play upstairs off to the right.
Last night the Dodgers humiliated the Reds 17-6, and the Reds didn't like it a bit.
They had two fights out there, one that lasted a long, long time.
One ball and a strike. Now time is called as Edwards steps away.
Remember Rick Auerbach, the Brewer's shortstop of several years ago?
He was right in the middle of that thing.
No Rick could get as fired up as that, but he did. These are the Reds, of course.
The stretch down and the pitch. Low and outside with a hard stop. Two balls and a strike.
Two down and two on to the top of the second.
Slayton comes set. Gross elite at second. Checked by Slayton. Here's the pitch.
Missed outside and low. Ball three and strike one.
Group here tonight from Hartwigs Gobbler. We had a great time out there today. Mike Caldwell, Don Money, Paul Mollider and I. We met a lot of good Brewer fans.
Kim Downing is here tonight celebrating her mother's birthday. In fact, the Downing family is here.
Three-one pitch popped up on the infield. Coming down is Bando. He's under it.
And Sal makes the catch and that'll do it.
No runs, one hit, two left. After an inning and a half, Oakland nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.

Rick Lang for getting ready for the bottom of the second, no score in this game.
Hey Bob, we met some super kids out at Hartwigs today. The kids from St. Colettos out of Jefferson, Wisconsin.
Really wonderful young people and great fans.
They all asked you if they're listening tonight sitting by their radios in Jefferson.
And they all asked about you. All the gang from St. Colettos.
Yeah, I'll tell you they're great fans here. They want to know about the pass ball school and you know a few things like that.
Anybody's a candidate, Murrell, love to have them.
Here's Ben Ogilvie leading off against Langsford and he takes a mighty cut and doesn't connect.
Ogilvie hitting a 206, nine homers, 24 runs about at end.
Ah, we really enjoyed the visit out there today.
Here's the 0-1 pitch.
Strikes over the outside corner and Benji didn't like it.
Ogilvie has had only one hit in the series so far against the A's in three ballgames, one out of 12.
Langford the right-hander, pump throw, don't speed, drill back to the middle of the center.
And Ogilvie takes the turn and holds now as Murphy comes up with the ball and gets it back into the infield.
He came in with a high change-up and Ogilvie went after it about shoulder high and belted it back over second base or hit number two for the Brewers.
Here's another guy, Bob. I just said to Bob a moment ago between innings, I said I think this guy is throwing more off-feet stuff than he used to throw.
I don't understand an 0-2 change-up. He just threw a fast ball by Benji and then came with a good breaking ball, a slider around the outside part and threw it.
Hanging change-up up there. Bad spot for it anyway and Ben ripped that ball back up the middle.
Here's Loscano. Sixto had two homers last night, eight for the air and he goes after the first pitch and misses strike one.
And he was going for the down. Loscano is knocked in 31 runs, he's hitting 3-0-5.
He did safely in 14 of the last 16 ballgames.
Here's the next pitch. Down low ball. Langford changing speed to last.
Sixto is now third in the American League, slugging average-wise, 585. Throw the first. Hugg will be his back.
He's ninth in the league with 31 runs right at end.
Langford, the right-hander, sets. Here's the pitch. Sixto, it's a bouncing ball foul outside of third. It's a ball that strikes.
Here's a group here tonight from Bobby's Tavern. The Apostle Church, Valley Park, Inc., Tommy's Cave, the Regal Beloit Corporation has a group here tonight.
Langford looks over it first, comes down with a pitch. Loscano at the ground ball, a short charge for Guerrero, scoops and throws to second. That's all they'll get.
Edwards took the throw and got out of the way of Ogleday. Loscano was on with a fielders choice, over to Bando.
Six-four on the play at second. Bando was hit safely in the last four games, now hitting a 224.
Three home runs and 13 runs batted in for Bando.
He's had six hits the last 14 times up, so he started to move up a bit.
No score. Brewers have a runner at first and one out.
Rick Langford, a tall right-hander, stretches, holds, delivers. Bando drops a running bun on the third base, and it goes foul with a pop-up.
Langford charged off the mound trying to grab it.
Berber baseball brought to you by Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealers.
I've been telling you, I've been driving this citation the last week, and it is, boy, it is a great car.
Best testimony I can give you is my 17-year-old son's opinion of the car.
Bruce, he went out in the driveway and he came back and he said, boy, Dad, that car is cool.
He said, it's neat inside. Let's check it first.
And Langford throws the runner going. He's gone on foul down to the plate.
Low inside sinker, owing to the count.
And he said, you know, he said, that car is bigger inside than it looks from the outside.
And it is, folks, if you haven't driven that citation, whether you're 17 or 79, you're going to love it.
It's quite a car. See it at your Chevy dealers and test drive it right away.
The check at first base. Here's the pitch.
Vandals swung at a bad pitch and he missed it.
Strike three, reaching.
Now Gorman Thomas batting 257. He comes up with two downs, one on.
Drove in the winning run last night, 28 RBI's for the year and 11 homers.
The last 29 games, Gorman is at 344.
We are going to have, by the way, a large, large group at a Chevrolet party out here tomorrow.
Here's a throw to first the runner back.
Two down.
Lascano was the base runner, no score, bottom of the first hitting.
The stretch, here's the pitch. Swung on, foul back, big cut by Thomas.
So far in May, and this is May 26, the Brewers have won 12 and lost 11.
In April, they were 13 and 9.
Two down, runner at first.
Gorman Thomas steps back into the batter's box.
Big, strong left fielder from Charleston, South Carolina.
Langford at the belt throw. Thomas Peltz won the left fielder, just going to hook foul back into the stands.
Out of Stuttgart, two.
The Brewers have played only 18 home games out of the 45 that they've been in so far this year.
And the fans have really inspired them.
Or the fans have helped them rally and come from behind in some of those games, some real thrillers.
Langford set for the 0-2 pitch and then straddled to rubber as Lascano gave him a look toward second.
Newman guards the bag to the base runner.
Thomas digs in, holds the bat right down to the knob.
Stretched by Langford, here comes the pitch. Struck him out, swinging with a breaking ball.
So Thomas is gone, that's a fourth strikeout for Langford.
And it's no runs and a hit and one loss.
At the end of two, Oakland nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.

Here's the pitch to Page, a swing and a pop-up. Mando calling foul territory. He's got it.

Do we give her one or two? One birthday, one birthday, that's it. Yep, you're looking great. Still looking great.
In the open third, three up and three down. At the end of two and a half innings of play, still scoreless on the Brewer Radio Network.
It was June 1st, 1925, and the manager of the New York Yankees had sent in a pinch hitter.
He was fresh to the team, but Lou Gehrig played on for a record of more than 2,000 consecutive games.
It was Gehrig's first at bat. A truly big moment in baseball.

In the Brewer's third, it'll be Charlie Moore, Jim Gatner, and Robin Yowd against right-hander Rick Langford, who has allowed two base hits.
A single by Yowd back in the first and a base hit by Ben Ogilvie leading off in the second.
I want to say hello to a good Brewer fan hospitalized, Mike Zarnsdorf.
Got to get him out and get him back out here again. Get him out here for the Yankee Series.
In and out very quickly. Great Brewer fan hospitalized, and I know he's listening tonight.
So Mike, get well and get back in a hurry before they leave town.
Here's a ball hide inside to Moore.
Charlie hitting at 373. Langford's 1-0 pitch.
Drilled on one out to the shortstop Guerrero. He made a nice play, tossed to Newman, and that retires Moore.
One out brings up Jim Gatner, the Brewer's second baseman tonight. Paul Molitor gets a day of rest.
Gatner at 271. He has a five-game hitting streak alive. First time up, he bounced a second.
Langford has a sign from Essiam.
The open right-hander pumps and delivers, and Gatner looks at a strike and it's nothing in one.
All-in-one to Jim Gatner.
The one-strike delivery. Jimmy bluffed a bunch, took an overhand curve for a strike.
He was about two steps from the batter's box on the first-base side.
Had that pitch been inside, he would have pulled it down the first-base side.
But it was a breaking ball. Two strikes on Gatner. Langford delivers. Gatner taps foul, and it's still nothing in two.
Final game of the series tomorrow, Sorensen against Steve McHattie.
The target up by Essiam, the pitch to Gatner. Jimmy swings and pops it in the short left center.
Coming on the left fielder, Glenn Burke, he's there. He makes the catch two down.
Brings up Robin Yost, the short step.
Gonna tell you that Gatner was red hot against Oakland, starting tonight's game at 7.50 with 6 for 8.
Six paint-sits in the double-headers last Sunday.
Here's Robin hitting a 2.30-70. He's homered three times, knocked in 12 runs.
He's single the right field back in the first inning.
Langford delivers, and Robin looks lone outside.
The Brewers have had runners in the first two innings against Langford, but have yet to score.
The 1-0 pitch to Robin, swing and a miss. Good breaking ball, and he pulled a string on it.
One and one to Yost. Robin went to second on a wild pitch back in the first inning.
1-1 delivery, bounce toward short. Big hop for Guerrero, Taunce to Newman, and that ends the Brewers' third.
Easy inning for Langford. Three up, three down at the end of three. Nothing, nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.

Gross at 290, seven home runs, and he has knocked in 23.
Slayton delivers a fastball hit toward right, cutoff by Gatner on a nice play on to Cooper to Manow.
Nice play by Jimmy Gatner going to his left to dig that one out from Wayne Gross.
Here is Glenn Burke.
Slayton has thrown three pitches here in the fourth and he has two outs.
Glenn Burke at 226.
Right-handed batter waiting, Slayton delivers curveball, hits toward the gap in left center, Thomas coming on, it'll drop for a base hit.
Glenn Burke singles with two and out.
It'll bring up the catcher, Jim Essien.
Glenn Burke has hit safely now in five straight games. He's two for two.
He's on at first for Jim Essien.
Essien with one home run, eight RBIs, and he is hitting 222.
The outfield shades him around slightly toward left field.
He's got the stretch and the pitch. Inside breaking ball missed.
One and nothing on Essien.
Jimmy Slayton, glove on knee, leans in for the sign for Moore.
Burke leads at first the pitch. Essien slings and misses. Good fastball from Slayton.
Other groups here at County Stadium. Group from McDonald's, AARP and Shamrock, O'Donoghue's Irish Pub.

The one-one delivery, Essien takes low to dirt, pops away for Moore. Burke's got a chance to go to third, and he will, and he'll make it standing.
Cooper retrieves that ball near the Brewer dugout, and Burke winds up at third. So a wild pitch charged to Slayton.
A runner at third with two outs.
The pitch was a breaking ball in the dirt. Moore went down to get it.
The ball popped off his test protector and ended up near the Brewer dugout before Cooper finally retrieved it.

In the Brewer fourth inning, Cooper, Davis, and Oglebay against right-hander Rick Langford. Another pictures battle tonight.
The Brewer's got the victory last night by a score of 3-2. A's have played the Brewer's tough this year.
Cooper struck out his first time up. His average starting tonight's game at 3-0-1.
The 0-4-1 has dropped Cooper below the 300 mark for the first time all year long.
The pitch to him, they said, will change all that. Here's a breaking ball high and outside.
Cooper with eight home runs. He leads the club at RBI's with 33. The pitch hit in the air in the infield.
Shark stop, Mario Guerrero. He's got it. One out.
Here's Dick Davis, a strikeout victim his first time up.
He's got a D8 hitting a 288. He has hit safely in six of his last seven games.
Three home runs for Davis. Ten RBI's.
Langford leans in for the sign. Here's the first pitch to Davis.
Breaking ball is a strike in the outside corner. Good shot breaking sliders.
Starting tonight's contest hitting a 238 against Oakland. He was 5 for 21.
The one strike delivery. A change of this low and outside. Essie in the backhand.
One ball and one strike.
Sorensen tomorrow afternoon against Steve McAddy.
One-one to Davis. Swing and a miss. Another breaking ball by Langford.
He hasn't thrown too many fastballs tonight. A lot of off-speed stuff.
And he's been throwing strikes. He shakes off a sign and Davis steps out.
Now the right-hander is ready. Here's the pitch. Davis. Swing and a miss.
Kind of an excuse-me job by Davis that time. I didn't want to.
Second strikeout for Davis. And that is number five in the game for Langford.
Tumman out. Here's Ben Ogilvie. He has one of the two Brewer base hits.
He's single and center leading off in the second.
Langford delivers. Changeup drill deep to right field, but he hooks it foul.
Now Langford again with a changeup on Ben Ogilvie. His first time up he had Benji nothing and two.
Two strikes. He came with a changeup and Ben ripped the line drive to center.
Here's the 0-1 delivery. There's a fastball hitting the air out of play behind the open dugout.
Two strikes on Ben Ogilvie.
One of the few fastballs that Langford has thrown tonight, and it was a good one.
Two strikes on Ben Ogilvie with Tumman out here in the fourth inning.
Nothing-nothing contest.
Langford takes off the sign. Now he's ready. Essien sets the target to pitch.
Low in the dirt, knocked down by Essien. And it's a ball and two strikes.
Ogilvie, a couple of nights ago, hit his first home run since April 18th.
A nice dry spell for Benji. The pitch fouled out of play, he had a good shot, fouled it back upstairs.
He hit that home run in the final game against California in the third inning with two on.
Ball one and strike two to Ben. Langford delivers. Benji swings and misses.
Strikeout number six for the Oakland right-handers.
Free up and free down. Langford has now retired the last ten in a row.
At the end of four, Oakland nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.

What's that address again, Bob?
Brewer Pepsi fan club, Merle. Post Office Box 45 Jackson, Wisconsin 53037. Have a Pepsi Day!
Now getting back to Ben Ogleby talking about that home run. It was Vando that hadn't hit a home run. He hit one the other night.
He hadn't hit the home run since April 18th. Ben's hit a couple since. Hit one in California against Dolan Ryan.
Time of the fifth year is Merle.
Thank you, Bob. And Mike Edwards takes a strike over the outside corner. Right handed batting, second baseman who popped up in the second inning.
Hitting in the number nine spot of the order and he chases a breaking ball outside. He misses.
But he can prove Duane Murphy to be up next and then Larry Murray.
No ball, two strikes.
Slayton right back to the next offering and it's hit foul down the right field line being chased by Cooper but he's not going to get to it.
Lascano was over and Gantner was over. Ball bouncing up into the crowd. Still 0-2.
No ball, two strikes.
Another game to go tomorrow. Larry Sorensen will pitch for the Brewers.
Larry will be going for his seventh one of the year. Here's the 0-2 pitch outside of all.
One ball and two strikes.
Slayton Kipson throws and Edwards fouls this one to the upper deck.
The Yankees are in here Monday afternoon. Remember it's a 1-30 ball game on Monday Memorial Day.
Plenty of feasts available for all four Yankee games. Monday, Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Thursday night.
Well, there's that Kelly's massage parlor gang down the left field line being saluted down the Panagran.
Here's a 1-2 pitch. Line drive right center headed for the gap. Thomas to run it down. Lascano backhands of all in the gap.
Edwards feeds the second with a double.
So Mike Edwards after fouling off several pitches hit a slicer into the gap in the right center away from Thomas.
And Lascano and Sixto finally made the backhand stop.
So the A's have a threat going here with a lead-off batter with a double in the fifth.
Kelly's massage parlor 300 strong.
Ah, that's a great gang of young people. Young business people.
Still don't know where they got that name though.
Here's the stretch by Slake. Murphy waiting. Now the pitch.
Strike and a breaking stop. And it's nothing in one.
No score. We're in the fifth inning, game two.
The A's have outed the Brewers now 4-2.
Down behind the plate, Charlie Moore gives the side.
Jimmy check throws. There's a swing and a fly ball. Hit the left down the line.
Chased by Ogilvie over in foul territory. He's got a shot at it.
The ball comes back. No, it stayed in foul territory, but he caught it anyway.
I still think it was a fair ball.
The ball was...
...
One down. Larry Murray the batter. Edwards on second.
Slayton with the glove's hand down to the left knee, taking a long look at Charlie Moore.
And now Murray steps out of the box.
The stretch down. In comes the pitch. Last ball low. What a nose.
Mike McAddy, who pitched well in relief in the series in Oakland,
will be the starter tomorrow replacing John Henry Johnson.
So it'll be the caddy against Sorenson tomorrow.
One ball, no strikes.
The target up by Charlie Moore. Here's the pitch. Down low into the third block by Moore.
And the throw to second. They may have a play. Oh, they just missed it.
Mike Edwards is a little late getting back and Moore gunned the throw to Yelp.
The throw was back on the third base side of second and Robin had to lean back to get it.
Had the throw been right on the back, Edwards would have been out. And red face.
Two balls and no strikes.
Now Jimmy is set. The right arm back and here's the pitch.
There's a bouncing ball to the first base side. They gotta hurry.
Slayton picks it up, tags the runner going by for the out and Edwards goes on to third.
Had Cooper had to feel that ball, I think Murray would have gone by him and been safe at first.
So Slayton charged over there and made the glove hand pick up and stepped over for the tag.
Here's Page. Mitchell twice to foul the bandos.
Two down, a runner at third.
Slayton looks over there, Wines and delivers to Page inside of all.
The A's twice have had a runner at third. They had Burke over there in the fourth inning.
He had Singles and then Slayton Wild pitched him to third.
Edwards now over there with two down. Here's the pitch to Page. There's a drive in the center field.
Thomas back and makes the catch. Ball hit like a bullet.
So that will do it for the A's in the fifth inning. No runs and a hit and one left.
After four and a half, Oakland nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Tixdell and Scott will be leading off, followed by Sal Bando and Gorman Thomas.
And the Brewers have been able to do nothing with Rick Langford.
They've had one runner each second yelp in the first inning. So come on, Tixdell, let's get her going.
Get the fans all cranked up here.
Rick Langford, tall right-hander, has two hit number Brewers.
He's in with a wind-up here to pitch to Tixdell.
Breaking ball, he clipped the corner with it. Strike one.
Lascano was on by a fielder's choice in the second inning.
Langford right back with the next pitch. Tixdell with the bouncing ball to short.
And Guerrero feels, throws the first. Good play, and he got him.
Guerrero throws out Lascano.
Now Sal Bando is struck out in the second inning.

Boy Langford has really had things his own way.
The Brewers have had two baserunners.
One strike to Cowd, no score, bottom of the fifth.
Langford down with the next pitch.
There's a drive to left field, but he didn't get enough of it.
Right off the end of the bat.
Under the ball is Burke, and it's another easy inning for Langford.
He has retired 12 in a row since Ogilvy's single in the second inning.
Nothing to cross.
At the end of five, Oakland nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer, Radio, and Edwards.

Here's Wayne Gross with a walk and a ground ball.
See your Mott's dealer, the old painting season's here you know.
Before you go out and just start buying all kinds of paint and so forth,
go ahead and talk to your Mott's dealer and tell him how much surface you have to cover.
He'll give you an idea on how to save some money on paint.
Here's a ball on the inside.
What a little count.
All of us have a tendency to try to buy too much or use too much,
and he'll help you figure out exactly what you need.
Here's the 1-0 pitch.
Gross hits the ground ball to right field.
Oh, almost a save there by Gantner with a headlong dive, but he couldn't get it.
So Gross is on with a single.
He is one for two.
That is hit number five for Oakland.
And up comes Glenn Burke, who is two for two.
The Phantom is out this weekend painting the stripes down the middle of the interstate in North Dakota.
Good weekend for the Phantom to do that.
One out, one on.
We're in the sixth.
Slayton to Glantz at first.
There goes the runner.
Here's the pitch.
And a bunt on the third base side is going to be fielded by Charlie Moore.
Throw to first.
He got him.
Oh, what a play by Cooper, though.
Moore slipped as he was throwing the ball.
He threw that ball from down around his knees.
His sidearm throw to first.
And he threw that ball right at Cooper's shoe tops, and the runner was going by in a good play by Cooper and by Charlie.
So a sacrifice, sending Gross to second.
And here is Jim Essien with a pop-up and a walk.
Big Jim Essien, the catcher.
Two down.
A stretch by Slayton.
In comes the pitch.
Essien takes the strike.
Waist high at the inside corner.
No balls and a strike.
Now the target is set down at second a lead by Gross.
And Slayton delivers.
Strike to the outside corner.
He moves it to the other side of the play.
No balls, two strikes.
Texas has taken a 2-1 lead over Seattle at the end of five.
This is the only other game going at the American League tonight.
Everything else was played this afternoon.
The Orioles won an extra inning to Detroit.
Here's the pitch to Essien.
A shot to the outside corner and he missed it.
And Essien wouldn't chase it either.
One ball, two strikes.
Chirado beat the Red Sox 7-6.
And the Indians sent Tommy John down to defeat for the first time this year,
beating the Yankees 8-4.
John is now 9-1.
Slayton wants more to start with a sign.
Gross on second and two down.
One ball and two strikes to Essien.
Slayton to the belt.
Lead at second by Gross.
Here's the pitch.
Strike three, call.
Fast ball to the outside corner and Essien knew it.
So Slayton nails Essien.
No runs and he isn't one left.
After five and a half, hopefully nothing, Milwaukee nothing on the Brewer or radio and at worst.

Now the Brewers come to bat at the bottom of the sixth.
Charlie Moore will lead it off.
Charlie grounded out down in the third inning.
You'll be followed by Gantner and then Yon.
Well, maybe this will be the inning.
The Brewers have gone down in order the last three innings,
and now 12-0 Sturgeon Bay single at the second inning.
Rick Langford getting ready.
Here's the wind-up, down comes the pitch.
High curve for a ball, one and all to Moore.
Here we go, come on gang, let's get it going now.
What do you say?
A wind-up with a one-oh pitch.
He got it over a curve, he got it over a strike, one and one.
One ball and one strike.
Crowd's starting to come alive.
The Brewers can get a base hit, they'll explode.
Here's the wind-up, one-one pitch.
Strike two, a fast ball.
He took it, one and two.
One-thirty game tomorrow and a one-thirty game Monday.
The Yankees are here Monday.
One and two to Charlie Moore, Langford kicks the arm back.
Here's the pitch, it's a bouncing ball foul, third base side.
Over to the dugout.
One and two.
Ten-second chair for identification here on the Brewers, Radio Network.
Here are all Milwaukee Brewers games on WDOR-FM in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
Music.
Merlin Bob with you at County Stadium, no score, bottom of the sixth.

Pitchers battle between Rick Langford of Oakland and Jim Slayton of the Brewers.
Langford, the wind-up, and a one-two pitch.
Breaking ball, hammered a third foul outside the bag, backhand by Gross.
Jim Gantner is waiting in the on-dick area.
Tomorrow, Larry Sorensen goes for his seventh win of the year against Mike McCaddy of Oakland.
One ball, two strikes.
Langford tries again.
The pitch, foul back, he's got a piece of it.
One and two.
Well, Frank's getting them going now.
Bill Travers has slated open the Yankee Series on Monday.
One ball, two strikes.
Langford to the wind, here's the pitch.
Up high a ball.
Two and two.
Langford has not rocked anybody.
He has struck out six, and he has given up only two bases.
No Brewer runner has moved past second, and only one got that far, Yost, back in the first inning.
Here's the pitch. Change up, popped up.
Over to third base side, near the stands, and into the stands.
Two and two.
Fun run, fun run, fun run at County Stadium.
Coming up June 17th, 5,000 meters, 3.1 miles.

Here at the stadium.
There's a big finish line, ought to be something. They're going to really spruce that up.
Charlie Moore, go get a new bat. Now he's ready. Two-two pitch. Bow back into the net.
All runners receive a polyskin windbreaker jacket, a lower grandstand ticket, an official certificate of participation on a traditional eye-finished patch.
Seven-fifty entry fee. Here's the pitch. Down low, now it's three and two.
You also get a reserved lower grandstand ticket for the ballgame today.
Brewers and Kansas City. Pay off pitch three and two.
Bouncing ball to short, Guerrero scoops, and over to first base, Moore is out by stuff.
Langford has been tough, so has Slayton.
Now Jimmy Gatner, who's grounded on fly to left. He's got a five-game hitting streak on the line.
Left-handed batting Jim Gatner, giving Paul Molliger a night off.
The Brewers have a long string of ballgames. Here comes a pitch to Gatner.
Line drive, left center of base, over to cut it off at Burke, and Gatner will hold with a single.
So Gatner has hit safely in sixth-grade game.
He's had seven hits and eleven times up now against Oakland.
Robin Yacht has one of the three base hits. A single in the first inning, then he grounded out in the third.
Gatner at first, there's Strutch, and here's the pitch. Robin on the check swing. Did he hold it back? Nope.
First baseman Jerry Newdecker calls it. Strike line.
The Brewers will not have an off day until June 11th, and their last off day was May 21st, last Monday.
One strike to Yacht. Gatner at first for the lead, check by Langford. Here's the pitch, pitch on.
But Gatner's holding.
The A's are guessing the Brewers might do some running to try to get something started in this scoreless game.
The right side of the infield is open. Robin can really handle the bat.
First baseman Newman is guarding the bag.
Edwards is going to shade a little more now toward first base to try to cut that gap down.
Here's the one-one pitch to run a going. Swing of the drive, left field, he hit it through short. A base hit.
Gatner trying to go to third. Here's the throw, the slide. Safe.
But the third couldn't get Gatner, who took a belly slide into third, and he made it.
Well, the Brewers execute the hit and run.
The short stop, Guerrero was going to cover at second base.
Edwards had just cheated a little bit toward first. And Guerrero made a break for second.
And Robin hit the ball over short and into left field. I don't think Guerrero could have caught it anyway, for that matter.
But he hit the ball to the open spot.
Runners at first and third for Cooper.
This is the first threat the Brewers have had tonight.
First time they've had a runner at third base. No score. Bottom of the sixth.
Brewers have four hits, two of them back to back right here.
Cooper has struck out and popped up. One out. No score.
SCN with a sign. Rick Langford working off the stretch. Runners at first and third lead.
And here's the pitch to Cooper. Drive to right field. It's hooking. It is going.
FIRE! Home run for Cooper.
It hooks around the foul pole. A three-run hole for Cecil Cooper.
And the Brewers take a three-to-nothing lead.
Cooper with his ninth home run of the year. And he has 36 runs batted in.
Listen to the crowd for Coop, Coop, Coop.
Well, the Brewers break the ice. A standing ovation for the Brewers.
As Gatner and Yout and Cooper head for the dugout.
After Coop touches the ball.
Now he hit that ball like the old Cooper. He really got into it.
Here's Dick Davis with two strikeouts. Three to nothing Milwaukee in the bottom of the sixth.
The 56th home run of the year for the Bombers.
And the first pitch to Davis is down low for ball one.
One out. May as well keep it going. The line by Langford. Here's the pitch.
Outside, 2-0. Lacey is getting ready in the bullpen for Oakland.
Cooper hit that ball inside the foul pole. I believe over the bleachers into the runway.
Over the grandstand rather into the runway. Here's the strike calls.
Two to one. He didn't hit one over the bleachers. Nobody else has either.
Two-one pitch. Change up. Drill the left foot foul into the stands. Look out down there in the Kelly group.
Two balls and two strikes.
Well after more grounded outs, Gatner and Yost single and Cooper pump the homer to two pitch.
And Davis both one deep to the field. There she goes. It is gone.
Nick Davis is fourth home run of the year against the Oakland A's.
And the Brewers lead 4-0 because Davis touches the ball.
So Nick Davis gets a royal walk and then he comes into the dugout.
And Jim Marshall is on his way to the mound.
Davis hits that ball way back in the bleachers and left field.
It is the lucky fours. Oakland nothing.
And you often wonder what happens to a pitcher like this Bob.
He's going along. He's got a two hitter. He's got the Brewers eating out of his hands.
He is now leaving the game after retiring 13 in a row.
Gatner and Yost single. Cooper and Davis at home. And he's gone.
I know most of the pitches that were hit for home runs were over up.
The pitch on Cooper was up around the letter.
And the ball that Davis hit I believe was a hanging slider up around the way.
Both of them were hit a ton as the Brewers take a 4-0 lead.
And Bob Lacy will come on to pitch for Oakland here in the sixth inning.
Lacy is making his 25th appearance of the year.
He has a victory against two losses.
He carries a 4.15 earned run average with three saves.
He has pitched 30 in one third inning.
He has 42 hits, 17 runs, 14 earned.
Given up three home runs, walked 11 and struck out 22.
The two home runs hit here in the Brewers sixth inning.
Numbers 48 and 49 against the Oakland Stamps.
The Brewers will lead the American League in home runs with 57.
Strike quickly here in the sixth inning.
Langford had a two-hit shutout.
Going into the sixth inning, as Merle said, base hit by Gantner, hit run single by Robbin.
And a three-run blast by Cooper to solo shot by Davis.
And very quickly, it's 4-0.
So Bob Lacy, who was in the ball game last night, is down in relief for the A's.
He came out in the seventh inning.
And in an inning in the third, he gave up one run and three hits.
And he was charged with a loss last night.
So Lacy, the tall lefty, will be facing Finn Oglebay.
Benji has struck out and has singles.
Well, all of a sudden, a key hit like that can do a lot for a guy's confidence, Bob,
so any coop can get straightened out and get her going.
We talked earlier, Merle, about Cooper, you know, hitting defensively,
trying to hit balls to the opposite field.
You know, when you're ahead in the count or even the first strike you get,
I think Cooper went up there that time, made up his mind to look for a pitch inside
and was going to have a good rip. He didn't, he hit the home run.
Here's Oglebay now against left-hander Bob Lacy.
The Brewers lead it, four to nothing.
Suddenly, they have out hit the A's, six to five.
Four straight hits, two singles and two homers.
This is the 46th game of the year.
Bambi's Bombers have unloaded 57 homers already.
Here's the first pitch to Oglebay.
It's a fly ball to short left.
Coming hard is Glenn Bergen. He's going to make the catch and does.
Next, Fluscano, six to zero for two tonight.
Do you like this guy, Bob Lacy?
Yeah, yeah, I do.
You hear a lot of talk about him.
Yeah, I liked him last year. He kind of impressed me last year.
And the ball games that he has pitched against Milwaukee so far this year,
he's throwing the ball well. He's pitched well.
He's took a loss, as you said last night, but he appears to have a good fastball,
good breaking stuff, and he's got a good location.
He's got a good idea on what he's trying to do.
Here's the first pitch to Luscano, and it's upstairs for a ball, one and oh.
I'm looking at his fastball, too, but I guess you could say that about every left-hander.
He's got a good moving fastball. His fastball runs good.
Now Lacy pumps and throws to six to oh.
Look out, low it inside the ball, two and oh.
Well, there's the general feeling around the A's.
Charlie Finley has been so quiet in the last two or three weeks,
they haven't heard from him, but everybody's kind of thinking,
before June 15th, something will be done.
Here's the ground ball to right fielder, base hit for Luscano, and six to oh is aboard.
That'll bring up Bandol, who is 0 for 2 tonight.
They talk about trades, and they talk about the trading deadline and what might happen,
but most of the guys down in that Oakland dugout are looking for something to happen
prior to the trading deadline on the 15th and saying, will it be me?
Here's the check. Down comes the pitch by Lacy, outside and high with a fastball, one and oh.
One ball to no strikes, two down and one on.
Brewers lead four to nothing in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Lacy Asset throws, swung on and missed on a sharp breaking curveball, one and one.
That one had a little bite to it.
Here's the one-one pitch, swung on and missed, another one, one and two.
One ball and two strikes to Bandol.
In the eighth inning in Texas, the Rangers two and Seattle one.
Lacy throws to Bandol, struck him out swinging, and that'll do it.
So here in the sixth, four runs, four hits, and one left, five hits rather, and one left on.
At the end of the sixth inning, the Brewers four, the A's outing on the Brewer Radio Network.
Are you still afraid of the dark, afraid of what it might have in store for you?
Come, you don't have to be afraid anymore.
Try Pat's Special Doc, the Niter Dog Beer.
Pat's Special Doc has all that rich dog satisfaction, but it's less filling.

Dixoning totals, Brewers, four runs, seven hits, no errors, Oakland, no runs, five hits, no errors.
Now to the seventh, and here's Bob. Okay, Merle, and Mario Guerrero leads it off here in the Oakland seventh inning.
Brewers hit them very quickly for four in the sixth.
Slayton all set to work to Mario Guerrero, the wind up in the pitch.
Guerrero looks at his strike and it's 0-1-1.
The Oakland shortstop has flied to center and popped his short.
Nothing in two trips. Slayton's 0-1 delivery, fastball, hit in the air to short right.
Easy play for Lascano, waiting, he's got it one down.
It brings up the second baseman, Mike Edwards.
Edwards has one of the five base hits off Slayton. He doubled his last time up in the fifth inning.
Right-headed batter, Brewers lead, 4-0. Three run homer by Cooper and a solo shot by Davis.
Breaking ball is good for a strike, 0-1-1.
The Blues after their fifth win in a row and their 26th of the year.
The wind up and the 0-1 pitch to Edwards. Line drive over Gatner's head toward right center.
Chased down by Lascano. He bottled the ball for a moment, but he'll hold Edwards to a long single.
Same play by Sixtho. He bottled that ball momentarily.
Edwards had ideas, but Lascano threw a bullet to Robin at second to hold him at first.
Ball Edwards is two for three. And it brings up the leadoff batter, Duane Murphy.
Murphy has popped his short, popped to second, and flied to left field. He's nothing for three.
Lascano comes up close at third. The pitch to Murphy, breaking ball of beauty, dropped it up and he's nothing in one.
Jim Slayton after his fourth win of the year and his sixth lifetime victory against Oakland,
delivers to Murphy low and inside. He came right back with an overhand curve.
Slayton has had a tough time through the month of May. He's 1-1, lost two.
He's only allowed seven earned runs over that period.
1-1 pitch to him. Low in the dirt, gets by more. Edwards will go to second.
And a wild pitch will be charged to Slayton.
Runner at second with one out.
Slayton started four times in the month of May. The Brewers have only managed five runs for him starting tonight's game.
They almost got more in one inning tonight than they did in four previous starts, swinging a foul back by Murphy.
Ball to him, strike two. Jimmy Slayton is second in the American League in the earned run average department.
The
Yankees and Tommy John beaten today by Cleveland.
John took his first loss of the year against nine victories.
8-4 Cleveland.
Edwards leads at second. Time is called now by Duane Murphy.
Murphy steps back in and Slayton takes the sign for more. And now Jimmy backs off. He wants an inside.
Ball to him, strike two.
The outfield for Murphy is about straight away. He's home at four times, knocked in nine runs.
Slayton sets kicks and fires. Curb and he missed outside.
Ball three and strike two on Murphy.
Slayton has walked a pair tonight.
And he has struck out one. His only strike out came in the sixth inning.
Struck out Jim Hesion.
Ball three and strike two.
Murphy waiting on a payoff pitch.
And here it is. Curb and he missed long inside.
Three walks now off Slayton.
Brings up the right fielder, Larry Murray.
Murray had an infield single, a bunt single his first time up.
He caps it first and bumps back to the mound.
Full conference now between Slayton and Moore. The A's with runners at first and second.
The Sulton Club has played the Brewers tough this year.
They lead the season series three games to two.
Mando is playing in front of the bag at third for Murray. This guy's got outstanding speed.
Edwards at second, Murphy at first.
Slayton delivers, strike call to the knees. Good fastball from Jimmy.
Nothing in one.
The target up by Moore.
Now Slayton wants him to start over.
A lot of times when a pitcher backs off, or you might think he wants a new sign, he might want different locations.
The O-1 delivery. Foul out of play by Murray. Good fastball from Jimmy again. He got inside on Murray.
It doesn't necessarily mean a pitcher. All he wants is a new sign.
Sometimes you might put down a fastball, you want it inside, he'll shake you off.
The catcher sometimes thinks he wants a new sign. All he wants is new locations. Wants to go to the outside.
Two strikes, good pitch. Strike! Three calls, he got him looking.
He came to the outside corner with a good fastball and Murray is strike out victim number two.
Now with Cuman out, here's Mitchell Page, the D.H.
He lined hard to Gorman-Thomas' last time up in the fifth.
With a runner at third.
Page hitting a two thirty-five.
Runners lead first and second. Slayton trying to get out of a jam here in the seventh inning.
Time is called, Page steps out.
The Brewers about hit the eight, seven to six, and they lead four nothing.
Slayton delivers. Page swings and fouls back and he had a good rip.
Page has got home run power.
He has hit three on the year, but he's better than that.
Last year with Oakland, he hit seventeen, the year before, twenty-one.
The O-one delivery, foul back again. Good fastball by Slayton.
He was around the letters on the inside corner.
Two strikes to Page. That's a tough pitch for a hitter to handle.
You really got to get out in front of it.
Two strikes, restriction of pitch.
Capper fouls first base side.
There was a low-sinking fastball from Slayton on the outside corner and Page tried to pull it.
Two strikes on Mitchell Page.
There is activity in the Brewer bullpen.
Jim Slayton takes the sign for Moore.
Page is waiting the pitch.
Loan outside. He tried with a breaking ball and he missed.
He started the slider off the outside corner, trying to get it to come back and just nip that outside corner.
One ball, two strikes on Mitchell Page.
Let's see where Moore sets up now if he moves inside.
The pitch, high and outside.
Ball two and strike two.
Jeff Newman, the first baseman, is due next.
Slayton trying to end this inning right now to get Page.
Two balls and two strikes.

Three balls and two strikes on Mitchell Page.
Traveling time for runners at first and second.
Ball three, strike two with two and out.

Picked up by Cooper.
The A's have two speedsters aboard in Edwards and Murphy.
Three balls and two strikes.
Slayton, a little extra time now with a sign for Moore.
He goes to the stretch.
Checks Edwards at second.
The pitch to Page pops him up, but it's going to get out of play.
Moore chasing and it's about, it would have been about eight rows back,
it landed on the screen.
That ball might have a chance to stay in play.
So, he'll do it again at three-two.
Now the Cubs came back to beat the Phillies, four to one.
Phillies had a 1-0 lead in that game in the third.
But the Cubs beat them, four to one.
Paying two on Mitchell Page.
They're targeted up by Moore.
Here it is, low and inside they're loaded up.
Four walks coming up by Slayton.
They bring the tying run to the plate, Jeff Newman.
Edwards goes to third, Murphy to second base.
And the first baseman, Jeff Newman, checks in.
Slayton will go back to the windup.
He draws the arm back, the pitch to Newman, swing and a miss.
An overhand curveball dropped off the table.
Nothing in one to Newman.
Here's another guy with good power when he makes contact.
Megan Strong.
Charlie Moore sets that target off the outside corner of the pitch.
Here's a fly ball hit to right field, along the line, long run for sixth throw.
It's out of play.
Two quick strikes on Newman.
The ultralivery, low and outside and not by much.
He's shot for the outside corner in just this.
One ball and two strikes.
The base is loaded with Oakland A's here in the seventh with Newman out.
Slayton trying to get out of it.
Here's a one-two pitch to Newman.
Swing and a miss and he strikes him out to get out of it.
Letter high fastball and I mean Connor Rivers.
Strikeout number three for Slayton.

Jimmy Gatner, the leadoff batter, is due next.
Jim Todd, the third Oakland pitcher in tonight's game.
He shakes off a sign from Essien.
Now he's ready.
Here's the two-two to Moore.
Charlie takes low outside.
Three balls and two strikes.
Bob Lacey worked two-thirds of an inning.
No runs, one hit, one strikeout.
Straight to the Moore.
Charlie taps toward center field by Guerrero, base hit.
Mario Guerrero quickly to his left, but he couldn't flag it down,
and Charlie Moore has a base hit.
Here's Jimmy Gatner, he hit a base his last time up in the sixth,
and then scored in front of the three-run homer by Cooper.
The base hit by Gatner kept his hitting streak alive.
It's now at six games.
One out here in the seventh inning.
The stretch by Todd, the pitch to Gatner, hit in the air foul.
Strike one.
The four-ball baseball brought to you by over 640 Wisconsin Credit Unions,
where savings earn higher returns and are insured to $40,000
by Wisconsin Credit Union Savings Insurance Corporation.
One strike to Gatner.
Todd delivers.
Gatner takes the strike in the outside corner.
Good thinking fastball by the open right-hander.
The Wisconsin
have eight base hits in the game.
Oakland has six.
The two-strike delivery, Gatner takes high outside.
Ball one, strike two.
Charlie Moore leads it first.
Jim Todd checks him.
The one-two pitch runner goes.
No, the throw in the center field by Essien.
Moore is going to go to third.
Head first slide, he's in.
Essien's throw got by the shortstop Carrero.
And Moore hesitated momentarily at second,
but then took off for third and with a head first slide,
he beats the throw for Murphy.
It's a stolen base for Moore and charged Jim Essien with an air.
You suppose he's out of gas right now?
I doubt it. Nice cool night tonight.
Nice cool night.
Two-belly ball.
More nothing to shut out.
Beautiful.
It's pretty tough to get up and get started again though, isn't it?
I don't think he knew where the ball was, first of all.
But it was no contest at third.
Charlie Moore's got good speed.
Something a lot of catchers don't have and wish they did.
Two-two to Gettner, high and outside.
He almost threw it away.
Oh, come on, you had good speed.
Good getting to the light switches in the room.
Quickness.
Three balls, two strikes.
The pitch.
Bounce toward second.
They're going to come to the plate and the slide by Moore and they got him.
The infield up.
Moore broke from third and Edwards made a perfect throw to Essien.
They had Charlie Moore very easily.
Those shin guards on a catcher don't feel too good on a slide either.
Gettner on with a fielder's choice of firsts.
Here's Robin Yowd.
Robin is two for three.
Jim Todd throws the first and Gettner's back in time.
The Brewers lead four-nothing.
The stretch.
The pitch to Robin.
Taken high and outside for a ball.
One-nothing to the Brewer's shortstop.
Right-hander Jim Todd, the third Oakland pitcher in tonight's game, throws the first.
Gettner again back in time.
Good stretch.
Throw the first again.
No contest on Gettner.
The Orioles won today seven to five, but the Yankees and the Red Sox were beaten.
Here's the one-oh pitch.
Robin takes the strike and it's even.
Boston drops three and a half games behind.
The Yankees will drop to six.
Brewers would only be a game out of second place if they can win tonight's game.
They have four and a half games behind Baltimore in third place.
One-one to Robin.
Runner goes high and outside.
Throw by Estien in the dirt on one-half and this time they got him.
Edwards covering and Estien threw that ball on one-half to the second baseman.
It was an easy throw for him to handle that time.
They got Gettner and the inning is over.
Two-four if you score along with us.
No runs.
One hit.
One error.
One left.
At the end of seventh inning it is still Milwaukee four and open nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.
Our president's trying to ramble by with Chevy Malibu.
Oh, the Chevy value that means a lot to you.
Dig in, America, dig in deep, because the deeper you dig, the more you're going to love Chevy's midsize 79 Malibu.
Mmm, mmm, beneath its mouthwatering line there's a great big helping of what we call solid Chevy value.
We're talking about double panel doors, a strong full perimeter frame, big coil springs with all four wheels, the strength of body by vision.
We're talking about a trunk with more usable space than the 77 Malibu has replaced.
An interior with more headroom and legroom front and rear.
We're talking about a whole lot of car for your hard-earned bucks, America.
And I'll bet we're talking your language there.
Check out the 79 Chevy Malibu at your Chevy dealers now.
Chevy Malibu, Chevy Malibu, I bet you that's a wrap up, I'll be calling through and through.
Come and get it, America.
I bet you that's a wrap up, I'll be sharing all day to you.

The open day setting in Wayne Gross against Slayton takes the strike on one.
Gross' walk bounced to second in singles.
He's one for three tonight, one for two, I beg your pardon.
Walked his first time up.
Low on delivery, breaking ball low and inside, and the appeal from the third baseman,
Fire Bill Degin, and he says that Gross didn't go around far enough.
It's a ball and a strike to Wayne Gross.
Mando playing wide of third.
He's about even with the bag, but a good 10 to 12 feet off the line.
Low and inside overhand curve from Jimmy.
Two balls and a strike.
The outfield plays Gross about straight away, but the infield plays him slightly to full.
Two balls and a strike.
Slayton leans into the sign for more.
Here's the 2-1 delivery.
Gross taps on the first-base side foul pass Cooper.
Ball two and strike two.
Slayton has walked four, struck out three, and he's given up six base hits.
Got two big strikeouts in the seventh inning.
The A's had a bit of a rally going.
Ball two and strike two.
The pitch to Gross.
Swing and a miss, and he strikes out Wayne Gross.
That's number four for Slayton.
He came with the express and he blew it by Gross.
Here's Glenn Burke, the left fielder.
Now every once in a while when Slayton has had to reach back and get a little extra, he's been able to do it.
Four strikeouts and four walks for the Brewer right-hander.
Glenn Burke is two for two.
The pitch to him, inside fastball news.
One and nothing on Burke.
An infield single and a single is better.
The one-hole pitch taking all the way and he looks at the strike.
One and one on Burke.
Right-handed batter.
Slayton delivers. Burke swings and fouls out of play upstairs.
Ball one and strike two.
Charlie Moore works the sign.
Here's Slayton's one-two pitch.
Inside he almost got hit.
High and tight to Burke.
The A's got Burke from the Dodgers.
He was born in Oakland, California.
Two-two pitch. Low and outside and he just missed.
I tell you, Greg Kosk came very close to calling that pitch a strike.
He almost had that right arm pumped up.
Getting some heat now from the Brewer dugout.
Three balls and two strikes to pitch.
Here's a line drive toward right center but Thomas is there.
He's got it.
Coming out.
Greg's got a chip on his shoulder right now.
I think he knows he missed that pitch.
But as soon as that ball was hit he walked out in front of the plate.
And he was watching the play but he was also looking over his shoulder at the dugout.
He and Harvey Keene got a little something going down there.
Greg Kosk now pointing at Harvey Keene and Harvey said,
Get your head in the ball game.
And in the 19th it's a drive to left center.
Thomas long run. He's got it.
Fine running catch by Gorman Taliesin.
He's left center and that retires inside.
Now the A's are three up and three down here in the A's putting.
Fine play by Gorman.
After seven and one half it is still the Brewers four and the A's nothing on the Brewer radio network.

Todd and Robin look flown outside for a ball. It's one and nothing.
He out is two for three with a run scored.
The one-all pitch to him, flown outside, two and nothing.
The Brewers lead, four and nothing.
In the eighth inning.
It's Clayton three outs away from the shutout.
Two and nothing the pitch to Robin.
He swings it at the fly ball to right field.
Chase long run for the right fielder. Murray's got it near the wall.
Nice running catch by Larry Murray in right field.
Boy that guy's got good speed.
He made a couple of catches in the series in Oakland that were fantastic.
One out here is Cooper.
Big three run homer for Coop in the sixth inning.
Strike out a pop up to short and the big home run.
Jim Todd delivers. Cooper swings and taps foul.
Nothing in one to Cooper.
Now the base hit back in the sixth inning.
That's three run homer by Cooper.
It'll keep his average over the 300 mark.
Here's the O-1 delivery.
That's ball drilled to left field.
That's a solid single by Cooper.
One out for Davis who hit a long home run his last time up.
The fourth home run for Davis.
He has now hit safely in seven of his last eight games.
He has 11 RBIs on the year.
Jim Todd will work from the stretch.
Cooper jumps to a lead at first.
The pitch to Davis, low and outside for a ball.
Texas hung on to beat Seattle tonight 2-1.
This is the only game going in the American League.
The pitch to Davis, strike call counts even.
There's still one game underway in the National League.
Houston playing at San Diego.
The rest of the National League action is over.
The 1-1 to Davis. Looping fly ball.
The right's going to drop for a base hit.
Cooper will hold at second as Murray comes on with the ball
to the second baseman, Edwards.
Now Davis is 2-4.
Here's Ben Olsavage.
Benji has a base hit in three tries.
Cincinnati tops the Dodgers 3-1.
Ken Griffey at a home run, 39,000 plus.
Well that game adds Chavez-Rabine, Sutton-Lawson, Norman the winner.
The Mets beat the Pirates 10-8.
Henderson and Youngblood with home runs for New York.
Skip Lockwood finally got a win.
His first against five losses.
The Braves beat the Giants 5-4.
Matthews hit number 10 for Atlanta.
Madlock is fourth for the Giants.
Here's Jim Marshall heading out to the mound now.
The A's have activity in the bullpen.
And I believe Jim Todd will leave here in the eighth inning.
Jim Marshall will make another pitching change.
Dave Hamilton, a left-hander, becomes the fourth Oakland pitcher in tonight's game.
Well Jim Todd, who came on to work in the seventh, leaves here in the eighth
with the Brewers leading by a score of 4-0,
runners at first and second, and only one man out.
Dave will make his tenth appearance of the year.
And in 20 innings he has posted an ERA of 1.35.
He's 1-1 and lost none, no saves.
He's had one starting assignment.
In the 20 innings he has walked 14 and struck out 15.
So Jim Marshall goes to left-hander Dave Hamilton,
who decides to walk in from the bullpen in right-center field.
You know, the Oakland ball club last year was made up of pretty much of unknown players,
and yet a year ago today after 45 ball games the A's were in second place in the West
with a record of 26-19 and they were only a half game back.
And then they turned right around after that date and moved back into first place in the Western Division.
They didn't go out of first place to save until June 13th, June 14th I guess it was.
I'm trying to remember Bob when Bobby Winkl's quit, they were either like 10 or 12 games over 500
and in first place when he resigned.
But everybody said after the week or so last year when the season started and they both passed,
they actually ran up a record of 19-5, which is their best record of the year from the one-and-lost percentage standpoint.
Everybody kept waiting for him to crack, but he held them up there pretty good.
And then they started to slide all late in June and then kind of the bottom kind of fell out.
This year the bottom fell out when the season started.
Very early for the Ulta Nays this year.
Let's see, Bobby Winkl's is the coach for the White Sox now I believe, right?
You know, I'm interested in getting down there to see, well, Coach, we'll be down there a week or so.
I'm not.
Well, yeah, but I'm interested to see how they work the, you know, when Chess is in the ball game,
how he works with Bobby Winkl as his third base coach when Chester's playing.
You know, like he's a base runner.
I mean, how much, in other words, how much of the game does Winkl run for him when he is actually in the game himself?
I wouldn't think he'd run too much.
I think he probably would early.
Oh, I don't know about running, but you mean Winkl's running the game for him?
I'm thinking early in the season he probably did.
Whether he shows or not, I don't know, but we'll find out when we get there.
But they kind of got out of good working agreement together because I'm sure he realized heavily.
I've often wondered how much dependency the playing manager has on his third base coach or first lieutenant.
But he's got a good one anyway, the first lieutenant.
Yes, he does.
Bobby Winkl.
Here's Ben Oveley now with two on and one out.
And fainting left-hander.
Dave Hamilton.
The pitch to Benji, swaying a miss.
Took a home run cut and missed it.
Right-hander Dave Havillot is throwing now in the Oakland bullpen.
Jim Todd worked an inning and a third.
Gave up three hits.
The 0-1 to Ben Oveley.
Curve ball in the dirt.
Back on the screen, runners go to second and third.
Wild pitch.
The cards to Dave Hamilton.
Two runners in scoring position now for Ben Oveley.
The Brewers have banged down 10-game-6 tonight.
Leading 4-0.
The Oakland infield is up.
Cooper off at third.
Davis at second base.
Hamilton is running from the stretch.
The pitch.
Strike two call to Benji.
Fast ball and he nailed down the outside corner.
Ben Oveley started tonight's game at 2-0-6 with nine home runs and 24 runs batted in.
Runners lead second and third.
Hamilton sets and delivers.
Fast ball.
Drill to right field of A-6.
Here's Cooper in.
Davis around third.
Oveley goes to second and he's in.
Ben Oveley hit a line drive past Newman.
Both runners scored easily.
The draw from Murray was cut off by Newman.
Benji was hot putting it to second.
And he hesitated momentarily.
He thought Newman was going to make that throw.
And I think Ben was hesitant about sliding again.
There was no throw made at second.
He stopped about four feet from the bag and took two quick steps.
And he was there at second.
A single and two runs batted in for Ben Oveley.
Here's Lascato.
Quick stopping Brewer's Lane to pitch to sixth.
Low in the dirt.
Picked out by Emphion.
He's going to break a leg someday.
Boy, he can be wide open and stop quicker than the roadrunner.
He was really wide open when he was going to second.
One of the six stones.
One inside, two and nothing.
He stopped, as I said, about four feet from the bag expecting a throw from Newman.
Because Mario Guerrero, the shortstop, was standing right alongside Ben.
But the throw never came.
Two and nothing the pitch.
Curve and a beauty.
Strike call to sixth.
Lascato at a base hit the right field in the sixth inning.
He's one for three.
Then he grabs the lead at second.
Hamilton sets for the 2-1 pitch.
Here it is.
Change up curve and he missed side and side.
Three balls and a strike on sixth.
The sign from Emphion.
Again, Ben Ogilvy has a good lead at second.
3-1 delivery.
Curve ball and he missed.
And Pixo thought that pitch might have been a strike.
So did Emphion and Hamilton.
Pixo didn't move toward first base.
But apparently the pitch was low.
Anyway, it's a ball.
That's what Greg Cox said.
That's all that counts.
Here's Sal Bando.
Two strikeouts and a line drive to Sutter.
Hamilton delivers.
Bando takes the curve for a strike on one.
Rolling out the barrel as the Brewers lead.
Six-nothing in the eighth.
Hamilton sets.
Delivers.
Bando took low and inside.
He almost chased it.
One ball and one strike.
Bando's got his modest four-game hitting streak on the line right now.
He's 0 for 3.
1-1 pitch.
Curve and he missed high and inside.
He hung a curve ball.
2-1 to Bando.
The open outfield plays Bando as a pull hitter.
The 2-1 delivery.
Way in the mess.
He was out in front of a breaking pitch.
Ball to and strike to on Bando.
The Brewers trying to nail down their fifth win in a row.
They would jump six games over the 500 mark.
2-2 pitch.
Fastball foul out of play.
He's trying to hit that ball toward right field.
Ball to and strike to.
Oglebay at second.
Luscano at first.
The 2-2 pitch.
High and outside.
Full countdown.
Three balls, two strikes to Bando.
And it's traveling time for runners at first and second.
They'll be off with a pitch.
Guerrero trying to sneak in behind Oglebay at second.
The stretch.
Way in a foul by Bando.
And right now, it will take 10 seconds for identification.
You're on the Brewers radio network.
This is your station for Milwaukee Brewers baseball broadcast.
WDORFM, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
We're in the eighth inning at county stadium with the Brewers winning 6-0.
Straight to the Bando.
Low and outside.
They're loaded up.
They're loaded up for Gorman Thomas.
And the crowd wants more.
Not Charlie.
More runs.
11-base hit.
Brewers leading by a score of 6-0.
Gorman Thomas is struck out.
Fly to left and fly to center.
And here's Jim Marshall heading out to the mound.
He has a right-hander in the bullpen, Dave Hanerloh.
And Marshall has made the move to the bullpen.
That will be all for Dave Hamilton.
And right-hander Dave Hanerloh becomes the fifth Oakland pitcher in tonight's game.
The bases are loaded.
Killman out.
And Gorman Thomas will face Dave Hanerloh.
This will be Hanerloh's 25th ballgame, which makes him high on the pitching staff for most games played in.
Most appearances he's won two and lost three in the 24 games and saved three.
In 35 innings though he has given up only seven earned runs.
A brilliant 1.80 ERA.
14 strikeouts in the 31 innings that Hanerloh has pitched.
Dave came over in that big trade for buying a blue.
He had a kick out of talking to Dave Reverend tonight about being involved in the first Vita Blue trade, and that was to Cincinnati.
And Dave said that a million bucks, I kind of forgot the amount, the Reds were going to send a million dollars and Reverend to Oakland for Vita Blue.
And of course I didn't remember the exact dollar amount, but that was the deal that Commissioner Bowie Kuhn turned down.
And Dave said until the last week before spring training he didn't know which club he was to report to.
Whether he'd be going to Oakland or whether he would report to Cincinnati.
So there he sat for three and a half months not knowing which team he was going to be playing for.
And finally the A's and the Reds did complete a deal.
I think they sent Bear over to Cincinnati for Reverend.
But anyway Hanerloh finally was involved in the Vita Blue trade with the San Francisco Giants.
Pretty good right hander.
And he is on now taking his warm up pitches.
Last year with Oakland he won three and lost six and his ERA was 3.25.
He spent three seasons with the Giants.
Comes from Moses Lake, Washington.
Did you ever make that town into your circuit? Never made Moses Lake, huh?
Not yet, Merle. Still a long time to go.
Dave Hanerloh, 28 years old.
Well I guess he lives in Ellensburg, Washington now. I'm sure you've been there though.
Right down the road from Moses Lake.
You didn't make that one either, huh?
It'll be a two for one deal.
Well stand by out there. He's on the same night.
Stand by out there in Washington. Here he comes. I'll be there.
Moses Lake, Washington. That's where they'll have the dinner.
Here's Gorman Thomas with the bases loaded.
Everybody here at County Stadium is thinking grand salami.
They want more.
Oh they'd love to see Gorman at one.
Thomas has played well in the outfield tonight.
Made a couple of fine plays and centers. Pitch to Gorman.
Curve and a beauty.
Strike call from Hanerloh.
Very sharp breaking curve ball. One strike to Gorman.
Hanerloh is working from the stretch.
The bases are loaded.
The 0-1 to Gorman.
On a check swing he held in time.
One ball and one strike to Thomas.
Gorman with 11 on runs.
He leads the club in the empty plathons.
He's knocked in 28 runs. He knocked in the game with a last night.
A 1-1 pitch.
Going outside.
Two balls and a strike as Hanerloh came again with a breaking pitch.
Ball two and strike one.
Nice crowd again tonight at County Stadium. 20,512.
One pitch. Bouncing ball toward short.
Grabbed by Guerrero. Tossed to second.
And that's all they get.
Bando really put a hit on the second baseman, Mike Edwards.
A run scored. Thomas is on with a fielded short.
And credit Sal Bando with breaking up that double play.
He put a rolling block on the second baseman, Mike Edwards.
Jeff Newman, the first baseman, is now asking the second base umpire, George Belloni, about that play by Bando.
But he took him out fair and square.
Did not leave the baseline.
He just put a rolling block on Edwards.
So, a run scored.
Cooper is in. Thomas gets an RBI of 29.
Here's Charlie Moore.
Here's the Charlie breaking ball going inside.
Here's Cooper in. Ben Ogilvy.
Fitz-Timoore fouled out of play.
Moscato at third.
Bando erased on the fielder's choice of second.
Dave Haverloh, the fifth pitcher used in tonight's game by Olson.
Time is called. Moore steps out.
The Brewers have dug into the open both end tonight.
Fitz-Timoore curveball hangs inside up around the letters.
Two balls and a strike.
Eleven-day fits. The Brewers lead 7-0.
They are three outs away from their 25th complete game of the year.
Well, this pitching staff has really done the job.
Fitz-Timoore is low and outside.
Three balls and a strike.
They have 24 complete games.
Haverloh delivers. Moore takes the strike. Good breaking ball.
Haverloh is a three-quarter-arm style pitcher.
Every once in a while he will drop way down from the side.
He really comes sidearm to a right-handed batter.
The strike, three-two-pitch. Thomas goes low and outside. They're loaded up.
They're loaded up for Jimmy Gander.
The third walk in the inning.
Issued by Oakland pitchers.
Hamilton walks a pair.
And now Haverloh walks one. Gander takes the strike on one.
Jimmy Gander kept his hitting streak alive back in the sixth inning.
He has now hit safely in six straight games.
Mace is loaded. The stretch from the O-1 pitch. Low and inside to Gander.
One ball and one strike from Dave Haverloh.
Tamal Sorenson against Steve McHattie to wind it up.
Pitch to Jimmy. Line drive, Mace hit left field.
Here's the foul to him. Thomas comes on toward the plate to throw.
He's in the middle of the field.
Thomas comes on toward the plate to throw. He is out.
Perfect throw by Glenn Burks.
Nailed the sliding Garmin Thomas.
As he had hung right in there.
It'll be an RBI for Gander.
The shuttle's scored. Thomas has cut down seven-two.
Mainship for Gander and an RBI.
And the bulls are in the inning. They get four runs.
On four hits. No errors. One left. Two left.
I beg your pardon. At the end of eighth.
The Brewers' ATA is nothing on the Brewer Radio Network.
Anything you need to know about the New York City?
A fast insurance plan.
This old total liability to work.
Effective immediately.
Meet me at the bus stop.
Because my brother-in-law's driving my car.
My kid is driving my wife's car.
My wife is driving our camper.
And the whole thing's driving me wild.
Where and why I need this conversation.
That's the thing that you're watching.
Through the elevator.
Wisconsin Telephone.
How do you go about setting up a 32 million gallon per hour pumping station in a residential neighborhood?
Very quietly.
I'm Joe Gargiola speaking for Alice Chalmers Corporation.
And that's how AC technology helps keep a neighborhood of homes, churches, and apartments happy in Missouri.
The entire pumping station, including reservoirs, offices, and parking lots, is so unobtrusive, both in sight and in sound, that a newcomer or passerby would hardly know it was there.
Comp, valves, and related equipment for this plant were supplied by Alice Chalmers, helping to meet basic world needs for water.
The opening door is late, ain't nothing. Gotta hold them in there. Hold the shutout. Here's Merle. Thank you Bob. And Guerrero takes a strike over the outside corner into someone one. Mario Guerrero is 0 for 3 tonight. Mike Edwards will follow him into Wayne Murphy will be up.
Straighten's breaking ball is hit back in the left center field of ASET. Over to cut it off, Garmin Thomas and Aron First Guerrero.
So the A's have the leadoff man on, hit number 7. We're in the ninth inning and we'll take, well let's see, we'll take Mike Edwards next, who is 2 out of 3.
Edwards doubled in the fifth inning and he's singled in a 7. Right handed batter. Straighten at the valve, here's the pitch to Edwards. There's a line drive in the center and it's in there for a base hit.
So the first two men are on and Edwards is 3 out of 4 tonight. He came into the game hitting 2-0-3.
Down to the top of the order and Wayne Murphy, 0 for 3 with a walk.
Top of the ninth inning, the Brewers lead 8 to nothing, going for their fifth straight win and their second straight over the A's.
Somebody out. Murphy hitting 2-79 coming into the game tonight.
Jimmy Slaton comes out at the belt and he straddles the pitching rubber and he wants Charlie Moore to start over with the signs.
Here's the stretch down and the pitch. Strike with a fastball over the outside corner.
Don't forget gang, if you're 16 or under you'll have a few more days to join the Brewer Pepsi fan club.
And you need to write in because there's been such a demand for the instructions on cartons of Pepsi we've run out.
But we'll give you a mailing address so run and grab pencil and paper and we'll give it to you.
Here's the 0-1 pitch, inside and low a ball, one ball and one strike. For only $3 you get tickets to five different Brewer ball games.
The first one coming up is June 21st with Minnesota. You get to come to five ball games.
You get a Brewer Pepsi fan club t-shirt, a membership card autographed by Captain Sal Bando and a color picture of the Brewers on the back.
It's a lot of fun to be a member of a fan club, the Brewer Pepsi fan club.
Slayton now working to Murphy. Here's the pitch, ground ball up the middle, in the center of base hit and there goes the shutout.
Rounding third and heading for home is Guerrero. Three straight singles in the ninth inning for the A's and it's 8-1 Oakland.
Edwards held it second, Murphy knocks in his 10th round of the year and Cal McLeish has gone to the mound.
Larry Murphy will be the batter.
So a little chat with the batter.
Okay, if you're ready here's the address for the Brewer Pepsi fan club. Post office box 45 Jackson, Wisconsin 53037.
Got it? Brewer Pepsi fan club, post office box 45 Jackson, Wisconsin 53037.
You'll get details in the mail, but you've got to have the letter in by Wednesday the 30th.
So get us the mail over the weekend or certainly before Wednesday midnight of next week.
Here we go, Murray the batter, the pitch, strike, fastball of the inside corner.
Nine hits down for the A's.
Three straight here in the ninth inning.
Murray had a base hit of the first inning when he bunted his way on.
Then he has gone hit with the next three trips. There's a change up high for a ball.
One ball and one strike.
Larry Sorensen shoots for his seventh win tomorrow against Mike McAddy who is undefeated 2-0.
Young right-hander. One-one pitch, popped up foul out of play into the upper deck, third base side.
20,512 here at the stadium tonight.
Should have a nice crowd tomorrow, nice crowd for the Yankee series.
It opens Monday afternoon. Bill Trammer scheduled for the Brewers.
130 ball game on Memorial Day. Good way to have a family outing on Monday.
Plenty of seats available for the Yankee series. Here's the one-two pitch.
Outside and high of all. We're going to have good crowds,
but don't let anybody tell you those games are sold out. They aren't.
I don't know how those rumors get started.
Here's the stretch for the two-two pitch and it's on the way outside. Fastball three and two.
But if you do have an opportunity to buy tickets in advance for the Yankee series,
it would be a good idea because then you won't have to wait out here at the stadium,
waiting in the ticket line. You'll be able to come right on in.
Blue ticket outlets, but all cheerstores, ticket-tron agencies.
Here's the payoff pitch and it's popped up foul off of the third base side again.
Three balls, two strikes.
The Brewers have had two full run innings tonight, one of the sixth and one of the eighth.
Jimmy will try again on the payoff pitch and time is called.
Murray steps out of the batter's box.
Murray's the switch hitter batting left handed.
Ready, three-two pitch, popped up down behind Thursday. They have a play on this for a long run for Yan.
Robin way down the line, makes the catch.
A backhanded catch by Yan way down the foul line.
Now with one out and two on the board, Mitchell Page will bat. 0-3 with the walk.
Page checked into the game hitting 2-35.
Marble have all the scores for you on the postgame show.
The Yankees and Red Sox lost, but Baltimore won, so the Brewers pick up a game on the Red Sox
and move another game ahead of the Yankees.
Here comes the pitch. Page checked his swing, but not in time, strike one.
They'll move up a game provided they hold his lead. One out, two out of the ninth.
The Brewers lead by seven.
The Brewers hang on. There'll be a game behind Boston and a game and a half ahead of the Yankees.
Here's the next pitch. Page checks swing foul. He's trying to get out of the way actually.
Ball goes sailing over into the dugout.
The Brewers would still be four and a half games out at first,
but they have one more win than the Red Sox.
Here's the 0-2 pitch. Fly ball foul down the left-field line.
Tried to sneak that fastball by Page, blow it away, but he just got a piece of it and poked it down the line.
No balls, two strikes.
Boy, those Orioles are something else the way they kept winning.
They had a lot of extra innings today at Detroit.
Looks like the Tigers had them going for a while.
Here's the 0-2 pitch. Strike three called the outside corner.
He nailed down the corner to Page.
Now there are two down to the ninth inning.
The fifth strikeout for Slayton and he will face Jeff Newman who has hit less than four trips.
Newman with six home runs, 24 runs batted in.
He was handed with the bases loaded in the seventh inning when the A's had their biggest threat.
The Brewers led them four to nothing.
Now Jimmy works on Newman.
Breaking ball hit deep to left-field, way back there on this one.
Ogled me to the wall, but she is gone.
Hit a hanging curveball up around, up above the waist a little bit,
and Newman jumped on it and bounced it out of here and the A's had four.
So Jimmy gave him a breaking ball and it hung up on him.
And Newman was all over it with his seventh home run of the year and four runs of score here in the ninth.
So Jimmy had a shutout going, but he has lost that.
Here's Wayne Gross, but he still has the lead. That's the important thing.
Here's the first pitch to Gross to strike to the outside corner at the knees, 0-1.
That's only the fourth home run this year out Slayton.
Goes to a change up away from Gross, 1-1.
Gross had a single in the sixth.
It's also been over the walk.
There's a ball breaking stuff inside, 2-1.
Edwards and Murphy scored ahead of Newman on that home run.
Slayton down to the next pitch inside a ball, a count of now 3-1.
One of the home runs that up Slayton was by Murphy last weekend in Oakland.
Here's a foul ball overhead to the upper deck, 3-2.
Two balls and two strikes.
That curve ball that Jimmy threw Newman was almost like he thought when he let it go he was thinking,
Oh, please don't swing.
Here's a playoff pitch.
Line drive, right field of base hit off the glove of Gantner.
Jimmy made a headlong dive trying to pull it down.
Here's George Bamberger coming out of the dugout, and that'll be all for Slayton.
Now Gross has single to right and Burke is coming up, and Jimmy will be out of the ballgame.
So he got close, two down to the ninth, but he has given up a loving hit.
So Slayton will leave the game, getting a nice hand from the fans.
He's hit super ball a shutout through eighth.
Casco will come on to take over for Jimmy.
Well, Jimmy had that big lead.
Eight to nothing going into the top of the inning.
Three straight singles by Guerrero, Edwards, and Murphy produced a run.
Then he got the next two men. He got Murray to foul out, and he struck out Paige.
But Newman nailed him for a three-run homer.
So Bill Castro comes out of the dugout, or out of the bullpen rather.
And his runners win the round. Well, too bad Jimmy couldn't have finished the ballgame, but
the biggest thing, of course, is the victory.
And the Brewers are one out away from that.
George Bamberger gives Castro the ball and says, OK, let's wrap it up and go home.
So Billy is ready to start his warm-up pitches.
Larry Sorenton pitches for the Brewers tomorrow.
And Bill Travers scheduled for Monday with the New York Yankees.
Night games Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
See what we got coming up.
Ambedstay tomorrow, Monday, pregame show, the Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps.
Tuesday night is Menominee Falls night, Wednesday night, Hartford night.
You better check in with WTKM radio in a hurry, like on Tuesday.
Thursday night is Kowaskam night. We had a big advance from Kowaskam down here tonight.
They're really cranked up for their night.
Then June 19th, West Bend night. You can get tickets for the West Bend group tickets.
There was a surprise I've ever seen.
And that just might become an annual event. It was really a spectacular.
All right, Castro is warmed up and ready.
Glenn Burke will lead the batter at first base, gross.
Burke, two out of three tonight, two singles, the sacrifice to line drive to center.
Bill Castro will try to nail it down.
Billy out of the stretch holding, checks first, and here's the pitch.
Strike around the knees.
No balls and a strike to Castro.
Bill delivers.
Foul on a playoff at the first base side.
Castro hasn't been in a ball game for 13 days.
Bob and I have talked about the complete games at the Brewers pitch.
That doesn't get that bullpen too much duty.
It's a plus, and yet it's a minus in a way, but you'll take the plus.
There's a bouncing ball to second. This ought to do it.
If Gantner bobbles a ball, it won't do it. He can't find a two-meter on.
So Gantner commits an error.
He's going to play the high hop back on the edge of the grass,
and it came right off his glove, all right up behind him.
So the inning is still alive.
Gross is on second. Burke is on first.
And Essien is the batter, and he is a nice man to bat here on the night's endings.
It's the first air of the ball game for the Brewers.
So Castro's got to work some more tonight as he delivers to Essien,
a strike to the inside corner.
Essien 0 for 3 with a walk.
Castro leans in, takes the sign,
comes out of the stretch and throws.
Essien looks at a strike over the outside corner.
Little slider.
No balls, two strikes to the Oakland catchers.
And the pitch.
Try to nail that corner down. They missed it.
Blow it away.
Ball one and strike two to Essien.
Gross at second. Burke at first.
We're in the ninth. The Brewers lead 8 to 4.
Castro throws. Essien is the grounder foul of the third base side of the dugout.
One ball and two strikes.
Burke at first for the air. Gross on second.
The target set by Charlie Moore.
And the 1-2 to Essien.
Low for the ball.
2 and 2.
Two balls and two strikes. We're in the ninth.
Oakland has scored four times.
Big three run homer by Jeff Newman.
Following the run scoring single to Murphy.
And the pitch.
Ball three outside. Come on, Billy.
Three balls and two strikes to Essien.
The runners will go with the pitch. And they do.
3-2 delivery. Bouncing ball out.
Offered a third. Field about Vando.
He's got to go to first in a hurry. Got him!
Ball game over. A high hopper to short.
Vando had to cut in front of Robba to make the play.
And he did. But he had to stop and pivot and curve and throw.
So the ball game is over and the Brewers come up with a victory.
But at the ninth inning the A's put a bit of a scar in the Brewers.
With four runs, four base hits, one Brewer error and two left.
Final score Milwaukee 8 Oakland 4.
