00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Chicago Cubs faced the Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium for a Sunday doubleheader on June 8, 1975.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The Cubs were managed by Jim Marshall in 1975. Marshall had the interim job midway through the 1974 season after the firing of Wally Lockman.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Lockman had taken over the team in 1972 after the firing of Leo DeRoscher.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
DeRoscher had built a strong Cubs team that was able to finish in second place several times in the early 1970s, something that Cubs hadn't done in decades.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
But after he left, the Cubs tumbled under Lockman, finishing in the cellar with 96 losses in 1974.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Cincinnati was managed by Sparky Anderson, who were a great team in the early 1970s, with over 95 wins in four of the past five seasons, including two trips to the World Series that fell short.

8
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
But the Big Red Machine was on its way in 1975, entering this game in first place with a 32-22 record.

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
This audio recording is from Game 1 of the doubleheader, featuring Cincinnati broadcasters Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall.

10
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It's the Reds on radio with Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall.

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Reds baseball is brought to you by Strohs, family brewers for 200 years, from one sports lover to another.

12
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And by the Marathon Oil Company, people who believe in people.

13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
By the First National Bank of Cincinnati, where your money grows safely in high-return certificates of deposits.

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
By the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Cincinnati, bottlers of Pepsi-Cola, Dr. Pepper, and Scraps products.

15
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
By Frish's, Frish's, sports, or any kind of fun, they just naturally go together.

16
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And by Riverside Fort in Newport, a block and a bridge from downtown Cincinnati.

17
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Now, for all the play-by-play action of Cincinnati Reds baseball, we go to Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall.

18
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Good afternoon, everybody. From Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Joe Nuxhall and yours truly, Marty Brenneman, welcoming you to Reds baseball.

19
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Today, a double-header against Jim Marshall's Chicago Cubs to wrap up this particular series.

20
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
And the Reds ticket office announced just a short time ago that tickets are available for the Twin Bill today.

21
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
In the first game, right-hander Gary Nolan goes for his fifth consecutive victory.

22
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And for the Chicago Cubs, it'll be right-hander Rick Ruschel.

23
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
We'll be back with a game line to do today after we pause for this message.

24
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,000
If you're out in Aurora, Colorado on a Friday or Saturday night, you'll probably find it's a pretty safe place to be thanks to guys like Ed Gunnett,

25
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
who thinks enough of his town to want to keep it that way.

26
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
He doesn't get paid for it, but money's not the reason Ed became a member of the Aurora Volunteer Police Department.

27
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Ed's a volunteer because he believes being a good citizen means more than just living someplace and minding your own business.

28
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Ed believes you have to do something to make a town a good place to live.

29
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Now, Ed Gunnett doesn't have to spend a lot of his nights keeping his town safe, but he wants to because he believes in people.

30
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Ed Gunnett is also a full-time employee of Marathon Oil Company at the Research Center in Littleton, Colorado.

31
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Marathon is people just like you, just like me, who believe in people.

32
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Marathon Oil Company, people who believe in people.

33
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
If you're ready now, the lineup for the Chicago Cubs in Game 1, leading off and playing shortstop is John Kessinger.

34
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Batting number 2 and in left field, Jose Cardinal. Billy Madlock at third base hitting third.

35
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Batting fourth, the center fielder is Rick Mundich. Batting number 5 and at first base, Andy Thornton.

36
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Hitting sixth, the right fielder is Pete LeConte. Manny Trio at second base batting seventh.

37
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Hitting eighth and catching is Steve Swisher.

38
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Batting number 9 and pitching for the Cubs in the first of our twin build today is right-hander Rick Ruschel.

39
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
The Reds are on the field. We'll pass along their starting lineup after the playing of our national anthem.

40
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:35,000
They can't you see by the long, curly line What so proudly we hail, at the twilight's last gleaming

41
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watch, were so gallantly streaming

42
00:04:50,000 --> 00:05:06,000
O'er the ramparts we watch, were so gallantly streaming May the bombs bursting in air,

43
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:31,000
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

44
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Once again, quickly the Cub batting order today. Kessinger at shortstop, Cardinal in left field,

45
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Matlock at third, Mundy in center, Thornton at first base, and LeCocque in right.

46
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
With Trio at second, Swisher catching and Ruschel pitching.

47
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
For Cincinnati, the leadoff hitter will be third baseman Pete Rose.

48
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Batting number 2 and playing right field is Dan Dreeson.

49
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Joe Morgan the second baseman, hitting third. Batting number 4 and the catcher is Johnny Bench.

50
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Tony Perez at first base, hitting number 5. Batting 6 in center field, Cesar Geronimo.

51
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Davy Concepcion at shortstop will bat 7. Hitting 8 in left field, George Foster.

52
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Batting number 9 and pitching for the Reds and the first one is right hander Gary Nolen.

53
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Again for Cincinnati, it's Rose at third, Dreeson in right field, and Morgan at second base.

54
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Bench catching, Perez at first, Geronimo in center.

55
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
With Concepcion at shortstop, Foster in left field, and Nolen on the mound.

The announcers on this broadcast are employed by the Cincinnati Reds, Inc.

61
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Gary Nolen ready to go and Joe, a man with a great deal of momentum going for it.

62
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
I hope to tell you, five or four straight wins and things have been going very well for Gary

63
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000
and certainly the ball club and I have to make that tremendous statement.

64
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
We can't win two if we don't win the first one.

65
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Well, we've had good luck with it over the last couple of years.

66
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Here's Kessinger to start off the game for the Chicago Cubs as Nolen delivers to him

67
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
a breaking pitch over on the inside of cause strike.

68
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
While the Reds start out today in first place in the West, the Dodgers shut out by

69
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Steve Carlton and Philadelphia on two hits, four nothing last night.

70
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Here's the 0-1 swung out on a fly ball into left center field.

71
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Geronimo right there and Kessinger is at game first out.

72
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Counter will be left fielder Jose Cardinal who miraculously recovered from an ankle injury

73
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
that he suffered late in yesterday's game.

74
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Had to be helped off the field by Cubs trainer and then the manager Jim Marshall

75
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
and through the miracles of modern day science, he's back in the Chicago starting lineup.

76
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Cardinal batting 326 with five homers and 26 RBIs.

77
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Right-handed batter.

78
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Gary Nolen delivers to the plate and the pitch is swung on and hit in the air to left field.

79
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Concepcion is back there waiting on it and Davey puts it away and quickly two down.

80
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000
So with two outs, the hitter will be third baseman Billy Madlock.

81
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000
In that Philadelphia win last night, Dick Allen with two home runs off left-hander Doug Rauh,

82
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Allen's first two in a Philly uniform this season and a late two run shot by Greg Luzinski.

83
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Carlton picked up his second shutout of the year and the Reds are in first place by

84
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
four-tenths of a percentage point as we begin today.

85
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Madlock looks at a strike.

86
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Cubs third baseman in his second year in the Chicago uniform batting 325

87
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
has 32 RBIs and three homers.

88
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Outfield straight away for him. He swings and hits a fly ball into right.

89
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Danny Treason right there and the Cubs are very quickly out in the first inning.

90
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Three up and three down. They're scoreless in the top of the first and the Cincinnati Reds are coming to bat.

91
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
You know if you're like most people, you think all banks are pretty much alike.

92
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
So when it came time for you to choose a bank, you probably didn't look too hard.

93
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Maybe you went to the bank nearest you for convenience.

94
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Or maybe you opened an account at a financial institution that gives away all sorts of free gifts.

95
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Or perhaps you were attracted by what's come to be known as free checking.

96
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
But choosing the right bank is serious business.

97
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Because when you open an account at a bank, you're actually buying that bank.

98
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Well you put your money in it, don't you?

99
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,000
So when it comes time for you to buy a banking service, we at First National would like to suggest you shop around.

100
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Compare services, security, people, reputation.

101
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Chances are you'll choose the First National Bank of Cincinnati.

102
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
But the important thing is you'll know you made the right choice.

103
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,000
We can tell First National Bank can't hold us in 90s.

104
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:23,000
We go on to the bottom of the first inning as Pete Rose prepares to lead things off against right-hander Rick Ruschel who's won four of nine decisions and has a fourth 19 earned run average.

105
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
But Joe, we saw in a game of the week a couple of weeks ago this guy can be awfully tough on a given day.

106
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,000
I hope to tell you his ball really sinks Marty and runs in on the right-handed batter.

107
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,000
So if Rick is keeping the ball down, he can be an extremely tough guy to score on.

108
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:50,000
He has two complete games and one was the one we were talking about against the Dodgers when he beat Andy Messers-Smith at Wrigley Field.

109
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Rose in and waiting as Ruschel delivers to the plate and the pitch hits Pete.

110
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Rose slams a bat down in disgust. That pitch appeared to hit him in the lower part of the back.

111
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:06,000
And he's really upset as he fires a bat down and goes on down to first base.

112
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Rose a little bit upset as he stands down atop the bag at first and he didn't let his feelings hide themselves at all.

113
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,000
He fired that bat down and well I would have to say that there was a purpose for that certainly.

114
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
I think Ruschel meant it.

115
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Now we'll see what develops in this game. Here's Danny Dreeson that pitches low to it.

116
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Dreeson playing right field today with a return of Tony Perez to the Reds' order and Danny's swinging a hot bat.

117
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Sparky wanted to keep it in there. Hitting 257. Here's a throw to first base and Rose steps back.

118
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Dreeson with his first home run of the season and certainly one of the longer shots that we've seen at Riverfront Stadium this season.

119
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
A right center yesterday. He takes it up high and he's out in front at 2-0.

120
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Well if there was a purpose for Rick Ruschel hitting Pete Rose to start this inning maybe we can make him pay for it by getting some runs off.

121
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Rose at first a 2-0 count on Danny Dreeson.

122
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Joe Morgan swinging a bat in the on-deck circle as the right-hander checks in with Swisher and throws to the plate.

123
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
That's swung on and hammered foul down the left field line.

124
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
In the Cubs infield Andy Thornton is at first base. Manny Trio at second.

125
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
The captain of the Chicago Club, Kessinger at shortstop and Madlock at third.

126
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
In left field Jose Cardinal and center Rick Mundy and in right Pete LeCocque.

127
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Swisher behind the plate and Rick Ruschel behind to the left-handed batting Dreeson bringing it up to the plate.

128
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
This one taken outside and high it's a ball three. Three and one.

129
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Cubs losing each of the first two games of the series.

130
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Five to one against Gullet. Eight to one against Billingham.

131
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Ruschel Lopp throwing on to Thornton before throwing the three-one on to Danny Dreeson.

132
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
LeCocque deep in right field. Here's the pitch.

133
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:22,000
That is taken ball four low and the Reds get their first two men on in the first inning.

134
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Joe Morgan batting 337 with seven homers. He got number seven yesterday and 32 RBIs.

135
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,000
He's been hitting 348 in his last six games with eight hits and 23 times up.

136
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:46,000
So Rose at second, Dreeson at first to hit back with a walk. Gets him on with nobody out.

137
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Ruschel into his stretch motion as he checks Rose at second, delivers inside of ball to Morgan.

138
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Well we were certainly witness to some Chicago pitching that had problems finding the strike zone yesterday

139
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:10,000
in the sixth inning in which the Reds scored three times and batting around had only one hit but Cub pitchers served up five walks.

140
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Ruschel having trouble here in the first inning. Morgan is out in front ball two, two and nothing.

141
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
They've got the full complement of four umpires working today with Bob Engel returning.

142
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
He's at first base. Doug Harvey calling balls and strikes. Harry Wendel stand at second and Dutch Renner at third.

143
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
No score in the first inning but we're trying to change that situation.

144
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Here's a very, very high fly ball in the straightaway fairly shallow right field.

145
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
LeCocque is under and he makes the catch. One out and the batter will be Johnny Bench.

146
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Johnny enjoying a most productive day in the eight to one victory yesterday as 12th homer of the year.

147
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:05,000
A two run single, a bases loaded walk. He now totals 43 RBIs which is topped not only in the National League but also in the Major League period.

148
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,000
And his 12 home runs the pace center in our league.

149
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Batting 282. Rose leading at second. Griesen likewise at first but now one out in the inning.

150
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:27,000
The rush will pitch and Bench swings and does not get it.

151
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Good day for baseball here in Cincinnati and another fine, fine crowd on hand.

152
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:43,000
It's the hottest club in the National League having won 14 out of their last 17 and with a win here yesterday now 10 over the 500 mark at 32 and 22.

153
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Bench again does not get the pitch and it's 0-2.

154
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:53,000
So Rushal very quickly getting his act together after hitting Pied and walking Danny.

155
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Got Morgan on a fly ball to LeCocque in right field and he's out in front two strikes on Johnny Bench.

156
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
The Chicago in field a double play depth.

157
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Rushal pauses and delivers and Bench strikes out swinging as he went after a pitch away.

158
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Two down and Tony Perez coming to the plate as Tony makes his first appearance in the Cincinnati starting lineup since May 25th.

159
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000
The second game of that Memorial Day double header here in which he was hit in the right thumb by a Jim Lombard pitch.

160
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Suffered a fracture on the tip end of that thumb and except for a couple of pinch hit rolls this is the first time for him.

161
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:45,000
He tries to get the Reds on the board with two out. Rushal delivers and Tony swings and misses.

162
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Perez batting 219 with seven home runs and 31 runs batted in.

163
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Strike one delivery missing on the inside it's a ball and it's even at one ball in one strike.

164
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000
The San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Clarence are underway in the first of their double dip.

165
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Ed Helicki going against rookie left hander John Candelaria and the Giants have scored a run at the top of the first inning.

166
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Strike two on a foul ball in the middle of Steve Swisher.

167
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,000
One ball and two strikes on Tony Perez and Rick Rushal doing a pretty good job right now.

168
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:35,000
The first two men in the inning get on against him but is a strike away from leaving those two stranded here in the bottom of the first inning.

169
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
The outfield for Perez is straight away in deep.

170
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Swisher sends out the sign as Rushal checks in with him.

171
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Right hander ready to go and he brings it to the play.

172
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Perez strikes out swinging on a fastball up and in and the side retire.

173
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
No runs, no hits, no errors and two men left on and it's the end of one complete.

174
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
The Reds nothing and the Cubs nothing.

175
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:15,000
The folks at the Strow Brewery want to remind you that it's Strow A Party time and they also want to give you a free recipe on how to Strow A Party.

176
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:22,000
So here goes. First get yourself some good music like this.

177
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Next add some good friends and neighbors.

178
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Spread around some good snacks like potato chips, pretzels, things your friends like or be different and surprise them with something new and good.

179
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Then top everything off with plenty of good cold Strow's beer. That's the important part.

180
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Blend it all together and you've got yourself one great party.

181
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Keep this in mind the next time you're out shopping and look for the Strow A Party display featuring our Stakehold 12 pack wherever you buy beer.

182
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:00,000
And we'll see you at the party.

183
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000
The Strow Brewery, Detroit, Michigan.

184
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Chicago Center fielder Rick Bundy and their cleanup hitter will lead off the top of the second against Gary Nolan who disposed of Kessinger, Cardinal and Madlock in bang bang fashion in the first inning.

185
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Gary in his last start at physical problems developed stomach cramps so severe that he finally had to leave that game in Pittsburgh with one out of the seventh inning but got credit for an eight to four victory.

186
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:41,000
And his two victories before that a one run four hit performance against the Montreal Expos there and then came back in his next start to shut out the Expos and only two base hits.

187
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000
So Gary Nolan is pitching very, very well. He delivers a strike to the taking Monday.

188
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Rick hitting three oh two five homers and twenty five runs batted in for this veteran center fielder.

189
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Wings and misses at an off speed pitch away and he's down at oh and two.

190
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Andy Thornton on deck and he'll be followed by the right fielder Pete LeCocque.

191
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Nolan working rapidly back with the oh two delivery and that is strike three swinging.

192
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Gary Nolan picks up his first strike out of the game and his thirty seventh of the year. He's walked only 14 batters an amazing statistic in itself when you consider the two of them have been intentional walks and he's pitched the total now of eighty three eighty four innings complete.

193
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:45,000
That right handed batter hitting three twenty eight pitch to him is taken at the knees a call strike one. Gary Nolan continually throwing absolutely nothing but strikes.

194
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I don't believe he's missed with a pitch out of the strike zone since this game started.

195
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Thornton swings and misses at a curve outside a breaking ball he was lunging at that good strike to.

196
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Cincinnati infield as Perez at first Morgan second concept the own a short rose at third an outfield of Foster Geronimo and recent left center and right bench behind the plate.

197
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Thornton looks at the pitch down and away at the ball and two strikes.

198
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Andy Thornton out of the batter's box but now back in. Gary Nolan starts into his wind up stops starts again and Thornton steps out.

199
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Harvey will go to dusting the plate off. Now the ball two strikes one out bases empty in the second pitch just missing the outside ball to do and to.

200
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
To pitch that is like three call.

201
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Came with a fastball at Thornton and he's going to argue a bit about it with the plate on fire.

202
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Doug Harvey that looked from our vantage point to be one heck of a good fit but Thornton didn't think so and he talks about it.

203
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Two away back to back strikeouts for Nolan. Here's right fielder Pete LeCocque.

204
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:33,000
LeCocque a left handed hitter he has appeared in both games in the series.

205
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Swings on the first pitch and it's a fly ball to right field Danny Dreeson moving over to his right and puts it away to retire the side.

206
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
So the Cubs are as they were in the first inning quickly out of order in the second.

207
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:51,000
And after one and a half innings of play in our first game it's a reds nothing and the Cubs likewise.

208
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:59,000
The feeling of.

209
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
The.

210
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
People.

211
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
The.

212
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
The.

213
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:21,000
The.

214
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
The.

215
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
The.

216
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
The.

217
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
The.

218
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
The.

219
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
The.

220
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
The.

221
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,000
The.

222
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,000
The.

223
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:06,000
The.

224
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,000
The.

225
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,000
The.

226
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:27,000
The.

227
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,000
The.

228
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:40,000
The.

229
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:47,000
The.

230
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Russia with a long look and he shakes off Swisher and now deals the 0 1.

231
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
That backs Geronimo off the plate a ball and it's one ball and one strike.

232
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Riverfront Stadium most kind of the Reds this season 20 wins and five losses in 25 games.

233
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Now ball off the 1 1 pitch hope we can make it 22 and five after this twin bill today we want a double letter lost one and split one.

234
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Split with Houston here lost to Philadelphia and.

235
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Swept Montreal.

236
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,000
One and two delivery swung on a fly ball down the left field line it'll be out of play.

237
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Tomorrow night the Pittsburgh Pirates come in for a two game series Freddie Norman will go against Jerry Royce the same match up as we witnessed in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.

238
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Quite a pitching duel between those two guys another foul as Geronimo stays alive.

239
00:25:51,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Then on Tuesday night Pat Darcy will be going against left hander Sam McDowell.

240
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Geronimo behind to the right end of Russia of all two strikes.

241
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Russia ready Geronimo ground ball foul at first base and on down to the Reds bullpen.

242
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:27,000
We wrap up the series here against the Cubs the Dodgers and the Phillies are doing the same thing although a single game in Philadelphia today.

243
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Don Sutton after his 11th victory against Jim Lombard.

244
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000
And the Dodgers will be going home for 10 days.

245
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:46,000
That's one out of the base hit center field.

246
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:54,000
First Cincinnati hit first hit of the game for that matter goes to Geronimo as he lines one back up the middle off the one and two pitch.

247
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:02,000
And the hitter now will be our shortstop Dave Concepcion who is a proud owner of a nine game hitting streak coming in today.

248
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:21,000
The longest hitting streak on our club this season at 11 for 36 over the nine game span and on the year hitting two nine six with three homers and 27 RBI.

249
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Russia working out of the stretch as the chief leads at first.

250
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Here's a fun foul off the third base line by Concepcion.

251
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Mention that San Francisco Pittsburgh double letter another double letter scheduled today up in Montreal San Diego and the Expos rained out two straight days up there.

252
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Going in a pair this afternoon Frye Slevin or other McIntosh against McNally in the first game.

253
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Madlock playing just a bit in shallow at third base but before Rushel throws to the plate he throws to first base.

254
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
One strike to count on David.

255
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000
There goes Geronimo pitches swung on and missed the throw down to second is in time.

256
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Concepcion as we saw yesterday simply threw his bat at the ball.

257
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Trying to protect the runner and Geronimo cut down Swisher to trio two to four if you're scoring with.

258
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:39,000
So the bases are empty as Geronimo is caught stealing and a two strike count on Dave Concepcion with one out.

259
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
George Foster will be up next.

260
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Maybe taking his time getting back in the batter's box as Russia waits patiently out on the mound.

261
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Now the wine in the pitch strike three swinging.

262
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Rushel's third strikeout inside the first two innings he'll be working against Foster now with two down.

263
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Foster hitting 280 and he's second on the club with his nine homers.

264
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:20,000
The Johnny bench is twelve and has 17 runs better than.

265
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Other single games in the National League today mention the L.A. Philadelphia game and Atlanta and New York.

266
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Buzz Capra will go against Tommy Hall as the former Reds reliever makes his second start for Yogi Berra.

267
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Foster fouls back the first pitch.

268
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:50,000
George with a home run here on Friday night.

269
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Two down in the inning nobody on base and a no score game in the second.

270
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Foster hits a broken bat slow ground ball the shortstop Kessinger has it in his throw to Thornton is in time to retire Foster and retire the side.

271
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:15,000
No runs a hit nobody left on replay to complete now with a score Cincinnati nothing Chicago nothing.

272
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Everybody in baseball knows you have to expect the unexpected that all times you never know what might happen.

273
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,000
For example there was a play in a Cub Dodger game during the 1916 season.

274
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Casey Stingle is the authority for this one and as Casey says you can look it up.

275
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,000
It happened on a strikeout the Cubs were at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn their batter only Zyder struck out.

276
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:43,000
The pitch got by the Brooklyn catcher and hit the umpire now Lisa and in the chest the ball rebounded toward third base.

277
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:54,000
There Mike Maori the Brooklyn third baseman picked up the ball off the grass and fired it to first in time to retire the batter Zyder running the first after he had fan.

278
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:03,000
A crazy unexpected way to get a man out and the Brooklyn third baseman Maori was credited with an assist on the strikeout.

279
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:10,000
We recall this moment in history because the people at Stroh's believe a good baseball story is worth telling.

280
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:19,000
The Stroh Brewery Company Detroit Michigan family brewers for 200 years.

281
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Terry Nolan has retired the first six Cub batters to face him and as we go on to the top of the third inning he'll be first working against second baseman Manny Trio.

282
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Here to call the action for you Joe Nuxall.

283
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
All right Marty and the trio Swisher and Russel here in the third inning.

284
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Gary has had a couple of strikeouts got Monday swinging and Thornton looking in the second inning.

285
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Nolan in his 12th start of the year ready to go to work to Manny Trio delivers the first pitch of fastball for a called strike.

286
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Gary has completed four games and a fine 271 earned run average.

287
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Nolan into the line the 0-1 that swung on and hit into right field Manny Dreesen moving in he has it one away.

288
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:22,000
One down and Steve Swisher to the plate. Swisher a 180 batting average with seven RBI's six doubles a triple.

289
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Steve a graduate of Ohio University.

290
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Now Nolan talking with Pete Rose on the mound and looking into the bench and now Larry Starr the trainer is going up and whether it's Pete or.

291
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Well it's Pete apparently has something in his right eye.

292
00:32:48,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Larry Starr checking things out. Doug Harvey the plate on fire there looking on.

293
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:09,000
First game at Pittsburgh after two innings the Giants lead the Pirates 1-0.

294
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:16,000
The only game underway at the moment other than this particular game in the National League.

295
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Are you ready to go? Nolan's first pitch to Swisher is high and inside of all.

296
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
It's your Rick Rushell on deck.

297
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Aligned the 1-0 Swisher takes us from the cost of a strike.

298
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Larry getting the outside corner one and one.

299
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Outfield shades just a bit toward right for Swisher the 1-1 delivery that swung on and popped up.

300
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Larry Perez first base waiting he has it two away.

301
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Two down that'll bring pitcher Rushell up.

302
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:10,000
He's hitting 0-87 he's had an RBI and a home run two hits and 23 times to the point.

303
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Harry winds and the fastball gets the outside corner.

304
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,000
All strike.

305
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Rushell a big guy.

306
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
0-1 delivery.

307
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Perez was put on and missed.

308
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Nolan quickly out in front 0-2 to Rushell.

309
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:43,000
The 0-2 on the way. Spectre call the fastball gets the outside corner and I'll tell you.

310
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,000
This man when he is going can make it look so easy it's almost pathetic.

311
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:56,000
So the Cubs out in order in the third nothing across and at the middle of the third no score.

312
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Stop and enjoy a big big boy.

313
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
A double that can't bring the treat.

314
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
The national favorite coast to coast.

315
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
So stop and enjoy a big big boy.

316
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Watching the Reds win at Riverfront Stadium has always been a great way to spend the day.

317
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
And one sure way to add to that enjoyment is going to Frisch's before or after the game.

318
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
It's all part of the tradition.

319
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Why Frisch's?

320
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Because not only does Frisch's offer a wide variety of great tasting treats from sandwiches to full course dinners.

321
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
They also have the convenience of curb service.

322
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000
When you drive into Frisch's there is never any waiting for curb service.

323
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000
You simply press the button on the speaker and your order is taken immediately.

324
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Fast, easy and convenient.

325
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
That's the best way to describe Frisch's curb service.

326
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,000
So the next time you're on your way to the game curb your appetite.

327
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Visit your nearest Frisch's drive-in restaurant.

328
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Stop and enjoy a big big boy.

329
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
A double that can't bring the treat.

330
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
The national favorite coast to coast.

331
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Stop and enjoy a big big boy.

332
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Reds coming to bat.

333
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,000
They'll send Gary Nolan to the plate to lead it off the bottom half to third.

334
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Gary sent five hits and 25 times to the plate this year.

335
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,000
This is Brendan's man.

336
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
First pitch to Nolan is a called strike from Rushel.

337
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Gary's had an RBI.

338
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The 0-1.

339
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Nolan takes a half swing and cost him 0-2.

340
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Gary owns one major league home run that was hit in Candlestick Park a few years back.

341
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,000
0-2 delivery.

342
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Missing low and outside.

343
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,000
1-2.

344
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
A while since we've had a pitcher hit a home run.

345
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
1-2 delivery.

346
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Swung on and missed and Rushel has his fourth strikeout.

347
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,000
One away and here's Pete Rose and Pete was really upset in the first inning.

348
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,000
The first pitch of the ball game, two feet out of the ball game,

349
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:26,000
and hit Pete somewhere in the legs and boy he slammed the bat down and was very upset.

350
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Rose with a 2-97 batting average.

351
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Rushel delivers and that's taken inside and high a ball.

352
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Made three home runs and 28 RBIs.

353
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
The op field for Pete straight away.

354
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Rushel works.

355
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Rose swings and it's a strike.

356
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Pete tried to check.

357
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Count evens one and one.

358
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Great crowd in yesterday's ball game.

359
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,000
47,000 plus.

360
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
1-1 delivery.

361
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Swung on and fouled of all two strikes.

362
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:18,000
And this afternoon, well, even more than the 47,000.

363
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
A ball, two strikes to count to Rose.

364
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
The base is empty and one away.

365
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Rushel has his sign and the 1-2.

366
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Inside as Rose leans away from the slider.

367
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Count evens two balls, two strikes.

368
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Danny Dreesen waits on deck.

369
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Rushel the 2-2.

370
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Outside, full count to Pete.

371
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Reds have had one hit off.

372
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Rushel not being Geronimo's single leading off the second inning.

373
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
A payoff on the way.

374
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000
That's a half swing bouncer to 3-0 at second.

375
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
He has it on the fourth and two down.

376
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,000
He tried to check the swing on the off speed pitch.

377
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,000
It bounces to 3-0, two away and Danny Dreesen to the plate.

378
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Dan walked in the first inning.

379
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Dreesen in right field.

380
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000
This afternoon, Kenny Grippy having problems with that hand again.

381
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Heard it quite a while ago.

382
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Rushel delivers to Dreesen outside the corner of called strike.

383
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
All in one to count.

384
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Rushel delivers.

385
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Dreesen looks at it inside this time and it evens it 1-1.

386
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Rushel a slow worker.

387
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Now the 1-1 on the way.

388
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000
That swung on a hard one bouncer.

389
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Kessinger at short.

390
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
His throw on to Thornton and that's it for the Reds.

391
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
They're out in order in the third.

392
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Nothing to cross.

393
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:22,000
After three innings here in the first game at Riverfront, the Reds nothing, the Cubs nothing.

394
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
When people get old or sick or both, they live alone.

395
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,000
It's pretty near impossible for them to get the hot meals they need to make them feel good.

396
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:41,000
That's why Jim Frankert, John Winnum, Dick Manning, Paul Geyer and Jim Youngflesh became members of an organization in Finley, Ohio called Local Meals.

397
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000
On their lunch hours these men take hot meals to people who otherwise wouldn't get them.

398
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
And they bring more than food with them when they come to call.

399
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
They bring warmth and kindness and love.

400
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:58,000
These men don't have to spend time making people happy, but they want to because they believe in people.

401
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:19,000
These men are also full-time employees of Marathon Oil Company, Finley, Ohio.

402
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Marathon Oil Company, people who believe in people.

403
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Well, we've gone through three quick innings here in the first game of the doubleheader.

404
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000
The Cubs nothing to cross.

405
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
The Reds have had a hit.

406
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
It's going to be Don Kessinger leading it off in the fourth.

407
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Back with the action, Marty Brenneman.

408
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Kessinger leading off the ballgame at a fly ball to center field.

409
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Nolan has struck out three in the first three innings.

410
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,000
As Joe mentioned, has not allowed anybody to reach on him.

411
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
In fact, only one hit in the game and that was a single by Geronimo leading off the second.

412
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Kessinger a switch hitter batting 262.

413
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Nolan throwing the first pitcher in the fourth and it's too much inside ball one.

414
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Don is a left-handed batter hitting 268 this season.

415
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
He's had 10 of his 13 RBIs that way.

416
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
And a 250 hitter is a right-handed batter.

417
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
The 1-0 delivery, that stays in on him.

418
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
It's ball two.

419
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Gary Nolan starting Kessinger out with two pitches in and both missing.

420
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Two balls and no strikes.

421
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Cardinal and Madlock to follow in the inning.

422
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Rose playing a shallow third base.

423
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Kessinger hits a fly ball in the right field.

424
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Dreesen backing on it.

425
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Danny waiting.

426
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:44,000
One out.

427
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000
So make a tense straight that Gary Nolan is retired as he goes to work against left fielder Cardinal,

428
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000
who popped out to shortstop the first inning.

429
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,000
This reminder, the winning entries in the Reds-McAlpens Draw,

430
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
your favorite Cincinnati Reds player contest,

431
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
will be on display next week at the McAlpens store in Northgate.

432
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Stop by and see them if you're in the area.

433
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000
No score in the game, fourth inning.

434
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Cardinal and it's a fastball down low a ball.

435
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,000
In the second game today, a left-hander will go for Chicago.

436
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Jeff Zahn, the former Los Angeles Dodger.

437
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,000
And for Cincinnati, right-hander Clay Kirby.

438
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Two balls, no strikes.

439
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Cardinal, of course, a veteran.

440
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Spent some years with the California Angels in the American League.

441
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Had a good year with the St. Louis Cardinals.

442
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000
There's ball three to it.

443
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,000
So Nolan has gone a three-ball count for the first time in this game.

444
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Falls behind three and Oda Cardinal.

445
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:59,000
The pitch on the way, and that's over for a second strike.

446
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Cardinal, back in 1970, hit 293 with the Cardinals.

447
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Two years ago, a 303 batter with the Chicago team, his best year.

448
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000
He swings on the 3-1 and pops it up.

449
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Just behind second base, Morgan camping and makes the catch, so two down.

450
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Here's Billy Madlock, the two-out hitter.

451
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Fly ball to Dreesen in the first inning.

452
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
The Dodgers and the Phils are underway.

453
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:34,000
L.A. scoreless in the first against L'Anne Borgue, Philadelphia, batting against Sutton.

454
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Talking about the fact the Dodgers are going to be going home.

455
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,000
They'll be facing Montreal and New York in a pair of two-game series.

456
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Philadelphia three and Houston three.

457
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Ball one.

458
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,000
It has not been a good road trip by any stretch of the imagination for Walter Alston's club.

459
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Boy, it would be great to take a pair here today and get a Philadelphia victory over the Dodgers and open up a little daylight.

460
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Here's the ground ball, base at center field.

461
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:08,000
So Gary Nolan, after retiring the first 11 batters in this game, gives up a two-out single to Billy Madlock.

462
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:14,000
That extends to Chicago fourth for Rick Mundy.

463
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Mundy struck out swinging as a lead-off batter in the second inning.

464
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Left-handed batting Rick Mundy at the plate, and it's a called strike on the inside edge.

465
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Pointed out the other night, this fellow has a distinction of being the first player ever drafted in the free agent draft back in 1965 out of Arizona State by the Oakland A's.

466
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Curve hangs high to him, one and one.

467
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Madlock, the first Chicago base runner, he's on it first.

468
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Nolan working with a 1-1 pitch to Rick Mundy.

469
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Swung on a fly ball right field, Dreesen digging toward the line, coming hard, loses his cap, makes a cut, higher the side.

470
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,000
No runs, a hit, no errors, and one man is left on.

471
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:20,000
We're in the middle of the fourth inning at Riverfront Stadium, and the score, Cincinnati nothing, Chicago nothing.

472
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:34,000
There's always got to be an end to the game. There always comes a time when we go our own way.

473
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:44,000
I gave it all I had, but now I am. It's no use losing.

474
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Good night, my friends.

475
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Now it's time to go my own way.

476
00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:00,000
For a beer that's still made the right way.

477
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,000
It's a moment every beer lover knows.

478
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,000
When you end your day with a straw.

479
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:17,000
From one beer lover to another straw.

480
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,000
That was Slobo for the Stroh Brewery Company, Detroit, Michigan.

481
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Family brewers for 200 years.

482
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
The current home stand continues here at Riverfront Stadium.

483
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Tomorrow night, the Pirates come to town for night games Monday and Tuesday.

484
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
The Cardinals here Wednesday and Thursday nights.

485
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Stunned by the Reds ticket agency nearest you in Salina, Ohio at the Style Shop.

486
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
In Fairfield, Ohio at Fairfield Pharmacy.

487
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
In Muncie, Indiana at Reed Sporting Goods.

488
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
In Seymour at Montgomery Ward.

489
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
And in Frankfort, Kentucky at Sears Roebuck.

490
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Here's Joe Morgan. Here's Rick Ruschel. And it's too low for a ball.

491
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,000
No score. Bottom of the fourth. The Reds have their hammers up in this inning.

492
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Morgan with Bench and Perez to follow.

493
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Ruschel has been touched for only one hit. That's the Geronimo single in the second.

494
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,000
Morgan swings on the curve and does not get it.

495
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,000
It's also hit a batter. Rose walked a batter Dreeson has struck out four.

496
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Ruschel has gotten off to a good start. As has our own Gary Nolan.

497
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Count even to Joe Morgan. A ball, one strike.

498
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Ruschel with that casual windup. And Morgan takes a fastball over. One and two.

499
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Now San Diego has hit Dave McNally for a big three spot on the top of the first inning up at Jerry Park.

500
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Strike three call as Ruschel slides one over on the inside at the letters.

501
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Morgan a little bit upset and he's jawing with Doug Harvey as he strolls back to the dugout.

502
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Rick Ruschel spotting his pitches extremely well. Giving five strikeouts and bring out Johnny Bench who he struck out on three pitches in the first inning.

503
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:34,000
J.B. Wading swings and misses. Now he's trying to make it a one nothing game with that cut.

504
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Game moving rapidly along. Started out as a bona fide pitcher's duel.

505
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Strike two. Ruschel has hit a batter.

506
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Game moving rapidly along. Started out as a bona fide pitcher's duel. Strike two. Swinging.

507
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:09,000
No balls and two strikes. Ruschel against Bench.

508
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Trio pull well over and behind the bag at second base for Johnny. Pitch missing outside and low one and two.

509
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:29,000
LA Philadelphia through one complete no score. Here nothing nothing affair. The bottom of the fourth one down. Bench behind on the count.

510
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Pitch on the way and he hits a hard one hopper at Madlock. The third baseman long throwing a high throw but Thornton got up and got down before Bench got there.

511
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Two away. Tony Perez struck out swinging in the first.

512
00:50:50,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Tony really chomping at the bit the last few days to get back in the lineup after an absence of almost two weeks as a starter.

513
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Low and outside the fastball.

514
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:24,000
The 1-0. That's upstairs. Two balls no strikes to Tony Perez.

515
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Outfield playing in straight away and deep all the way around. Right now maybe six or seven steps off the warning track and left field.

516
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:45,000
3-0 the count.

517
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Geronimo who is the only hit for Cincinnati would be up if Perez can keep the inning going. 3-0 pitch and Tony with a green light fouls it off.

518
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Dribbler off to the left of home plate. Three and one now.

519
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Tony Perez is in some kind of series attendance wise I'll tell you. At 47,340 last night 38,030 on Friday on a near capacity house today. Another foul and it's a full count.

520
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Rick Ruschel behind three and nothing to Tony Perez is now getting set to deliver the payoff pitch to the Cincinnati first baseman.

521
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Ruschel taking his time. He rocks and he deals. Swung on and fouls straight back upstairs into the red seats. Count stays at three and two.

522
00:52:52,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Fire night the Pittsburgh Pirates in. Now the leaders in the National League Eastern Division race. Four more games left on what has so far started out to be a highly successful home stand.

523
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Before the Reds go back on the road next weekend against the same Chicago club at Wrigley Field.

524
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Ground ball off the end of the bat to first baseman Andy Thornton. He fields goes to the bag to retire Tony and the Reds are out in order in the fourth inning.

525
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:28,000
So at the end of four complete it remains Cincinnati nothing and Chicago nothing.

526
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Most likely you know from nothing about banks right. Of course right. Well take it from me you've got a shop for a bank it makes sense.

527
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:45,000
You've got the grocery you're looking for a nice melon what do you do you go through the whole batch sniffing and squeezing until you find just the right one.

528
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,000
So you buy a bank the same way buy a bank of course you buy a bank you put your money in it right.

529
00:53:51,000 --> 00:54:01,000
So you look for a bank with the kind of services you need you look for security because I ask you where would we all be without a little security now and then.

530
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:11,000
You look for a bank with nice people who know their business and the needs of their customers and you look for a bank with a good solid reputation the bank you can lean on.

531
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:21,000
And have I got a bank for you like a glove that fits your needs. First National Bank of Cincinnati right. Of course right.

532
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:31,000
First National Bank.

533
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:39,000
We'll pause again for station identification on the Cincinnati Reds baseball network.

534
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:44,000
The home of the five thousand dollar button. Cincinnati.

535
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Purchase your Cincinnati Reds tickets downtown at 580 Walnut and at the stadium at Burkharts in Kenwood Tri County Beachmont Hyde Park and Northgate and at home federal savings in Western Hills.

536
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Double letter here at Riverfront Stadium this afternoon and already we're in the cup fifth inning and a nothing nothing game and Andy Thornton will lead things off against Gary Nolan who retired eleven in a row before giving up the single in the fourth inning to Bill Madlock.

537
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:21,000
They got Thornton looking at a call third strike in the second inning one of three strikeouts for Gary first pitch here in the fifth inning misses a ball.

538
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:30,000
The important look out in trio and the totals in the game up to this point the same for each club no runs one hit.

539
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Madlock for Chicago and Geronimo for Cincinnati call strike one and one.

540
00:55:47,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Nolan's one one could swung on and lined back up the middle. Gary tried to play it on the line and slipped down out of the seat of his pants in a bid to take away a base hit from Andy Thornton.

541
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:10,000
So make that the second hit for Chicago and the hitter now will be the right fielder Pete LeCocque.

542
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:17,000
LeCocque a fly ball to right his first time up whereas the Reds are 10 over the 500 mark in our division the West.

543
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:23,000
It comes five over at twenty eight and twenty three there a game back of the Pirates and New York really bearing down.

544
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:29,000
They've been playing good ball of late only one out of second and two out of first.

545
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Here's a fly ball hit the right field pretty deep recent just shy of the track will make the cut as Thornton halfway down a second moves quickly back in the first.

546
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,000
That's the first down in the end and here's Manny Trio.

547
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Danny Dreeson getting quite a workout today.

548
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:58,000
That's a six fly ball he's had hit his way and it was trio led off the third inning with a fly ball the right field.

549
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Today's scoreboard stumper in 1972 Billy Williams won the batting title with the Cubs who was the last Cub batting champion before Williams.

550
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,000
High throw to first not in time.

551
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:21,000
One ball the trio checks in with Irv Noren the third base coach for Chicago.

552
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Back on top the mound sites aside from bench throws the first base.

553
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:45,000
All right doing a little housekeeping out on the mound as he readies himself one open swung on and hit in the air the center field.

554
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Ronimo coming in a couple of steps he makes a catch two down.

555
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Take a wild guess fire.

556
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Blue Fox.

557
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
I'll tell you now that might not be a bad guess.

558
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:15,000
You are the fact that he's here and every now and then they have a tendency to throw questions at the fans in that respect.

559
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
We'll wait and see.

560
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Steve Swisher the hitter with two out.

561
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Slow curve is in strike one.

562
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Popped out to Tony in the third inning.

563
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Born the first base on the strength of the second Cub hit in the game.

564
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Dolan lot throwing out to Tony Perez.

565
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Thornton gets back.

566
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Swisher hitting only one seventy eight.

567
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:46,000
No homers seven RBI call strike two and he has not had a hit in this series.

568
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Well that popped out of the third inning he's now been up eight times.

569
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,000
And the foreign Pittsburgh the Giants lead the Pirates two to one.

570
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Add Hallicky against John Candelaria left hander making his first big league start.

571
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Nolan stepping off the pitching rubber as he comes set.

572
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:15,000
Pirates calling Candelaria up after they put Ken Brett on the stable list.

573
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:24,000
How ball down the right field line heading toward the seats and it will be in there.

574
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:34,000
So two strikes and holding on Swisher should he get on it'll bring up the pitcher Rick Rushell.

575
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Rose playing deep at third only a few steps off the foul line.

576
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Concepcion on the back white line at shortstop for the right handed batter.

577
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Another foul ball down beyond the reds dugout and they get into the seats.

578
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Count stays two strikes this Wisher with two down on a runner at first base.

579
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Nothing nothing to score in case you've just joined us.

580
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:13,000
When the Chicago fifth inning of Game 1.

581
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Nolan ready he bounces one up there that knocks it down out in front of the plate.

582
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:31,000
One and two.

583
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,000
That's carrying three catchers on their 1975 club at this moment.

584
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:41,000
We should doing most of the everyday catching but also at Tim Hoseley and George Mitterwald.

585
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,000
What a ball has been playing some at first base.

586
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:57,000
How ball Steve Swisher hanging top Nolan got out in front quickly at two strikes and now he's fouled off three consecutive pitches.

587
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Not three consecutive pitches the last one was a curve that Gary bounced up there.

588
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Changed on him and popped him up shallow right center field Morgan is there.

589
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,000
And the side retired.

590
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000
No runs one hit.

591
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,000
No Cincinnati errors a cub.

592
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Please.

593
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,000
At first base and at the end of four and a half the Reds nothing in Chicago.

594
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:31,000
If you think how the partner and bonus Diaz sound like pretty friendly ways to greet a red router from Cincinnati.

595
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:39,000
The Strobe Brewery has some friendly news for you on Saturday June 21st the Reds Rooters Club.

596
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,000

When Rose was hit by a pitch and Dreeson got a base on balls but since then nothing in the way of threats for either club.

613
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Geronimo looks at a strike on the outside edge it's one and one.

614
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000
The Reds are finding the hits falling few and far between over the last few games.

01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
He pulls up and makes the catch.

626
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:30,000

627
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:34,000

David a nine game hitting streak.

643
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,000
The pitch.

644
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Pass ball in.

645
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Strike one.

646
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Now we quite obviously have gotten Rick Ruschel on one of his better days.

647
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Swing and a miss.

648
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,000
He's lost more than he's won this season.

649
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:29,000
Five losses compared with four wins and a not so hot for 19 ERA.

650
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:37,000
Down a number on us so far.

651
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:44,000
Davey fouls this one straight back.

652
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:45,000

Foster on deck.

655
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Just inside.

656
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:07,000
Concepcion had a notion but held up.

657
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Ruschel on the way with a one and two and that is low and inside.

658
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Evens a count of two balls and two strikes.

659
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Kansas City in Baltimore that game started.

660
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Royal scoreless in the first inning.

661
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Now the two to delivery bounce right side the first baseman Thornton scoops it up waves

662
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
Ruschel off the bag to get the out.

663
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,000
So Geronimo with a fly ball.

664
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Concepcion a ground out.

665
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Two out hitter George Foster.

666
01:06:40,000 --> 01:07:00,000
The 1975 Cincinnati Reds media guide sent two dollars and fifty cents to Cincinnati Reds Department 100 box 1970 Cincinnati.

667
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Foster thrown out six three his first time up.

668
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Fall inside to him.

669
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Concepcion shouting something out toward Ruschel from the Reds dugout.

670
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Nobody on with two out in the inning.

671
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:27,000
Foster out in front two and oh.

672
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:38,000
We've seen some outstanding pitching in the last week or so and then primarily from the Reds pitching staff for complete games in the last six tries.

673
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Gallatin billing and have gone the distance in the first two games in this series.

674
01:07:42,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Now ball. Reds team ERA as a result down to a season blow of three oh three Mark Anderson commenting earlier today you'd like to see it right around that three mark or maybe just a bit under.

675
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,000
He feels like with the offensive punch this club has that he can keep that ERA down to around three.

676
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,000
This team's going to have a very, very successful season.

677
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Three balls and a strike to Foster.

678
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Ruschel retiring 10 batters in a row since Toronto's second inning hit pitch away from walking George with two out. Here's a 3 1 that is swung on pop foul coming straight back and down just below us.

679
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Full count.

680
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Foster.

681
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Taking a bit of time getting back in as for his habit.

682
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:13,000
Ruschel rocks and delivers three to a swung on and grounded the third madlock has a big convenient hot throws the first side retire.

683
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Reds are out in order for the third consecutive inning and at the end of five full Cincinnati and the Cubs all locked in at nothing nothing.

684
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Hello sunshine.

685
01:09:39,000 --> 01:10:05,000
Hello sunshine.

686
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Mountain Dew a totally different soft drink with the lemony freshness and color of sunshine.

687
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:27,000
Brighten your day with Mountain Dew.

688
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:36,000
Here in the sixth inning no score in the game and Gary Nolan will be working against nine one and two Rick Ruschel Don Kessinger and Jose Cardinal.

689
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Two Chicago hits up to this point a single by Bill Madlock in the fourth inning and a base hit center field by Andy Thornton leading off the fifth.

690
01:10:46,000 --> 01:11:05,000
While the rest continue to be one hit it by Rick Ruschel that single by Geronimo in the second inning late scores in the American League last night the New York Yankees picking up another victory boy I'll tell you this club smoking only three games out of first in the Eastern Division behind Boston.

691
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Six three over the White Sox and Bobby Bonds at his 14th home run of the year in that game while in Anaheim California the Angels down Milwaukee five to two.

692
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Here's Russia all the pitch to him is swung out and fell away.

693
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Look at a third strike in the third inning.

694
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:32,000
Giants leading Pittsburgh two to one of the fifth Dodgers and Phillies no score in the third.

695
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:42,000
San Diego three one over Montreal in the second curve is like to call.

696
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:47,000
Sun continues to begin and out of the clouds overhead.

697
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Feel now vast and bright sunlight as Gary Nolan tries to put Rick Ruschel away and swung on a curve hit the left.

698
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Not play at Concepcion a base that a breaking ball Russia went down and got it loop one of the shallow left field just over the glove of Concepcion.

699
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:18,000
So Rick Ruschel helps himself as he opens the sixth inning with a base hit.

700
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:27,000
And now in this no score game Don Kessinger steps in and he's looking down to her of Norton who in turn is checking it out with Jim Marshall in the cup dugout.

701
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:32,000
What do they want to do here Rose in the third base looking for the button.

702
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Kessinger still looking that way.

703
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Backs off checks again he's hit a fly ball to center and he's hit a fly ball to right and two trips.

704
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:56,000
So Russia look first base pitch to Kessinger is one down and this bench flopping a throw to first.

705
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:09,000
They've absolutely no indication at least on that pitch that he wanted to find.

706
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:16,000
Kessinger again checking with Norton.

707
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Nolan has a sign and there goes Russia ball is funded first base side rolling Nolan picks it up grows the first.

708
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Perez takes the throw and a sacrifice for Don Kessinger as Jim Marshall had Russia running on the pitch.

709
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:41,000
He's on its second base as Kessinger is retired one to three.

710
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Runner in scoring position for the Chicago Cubs the first time in this game that they can lay claim to that.

711
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Here's Cardinal who has popped a shortstop and popped out to Morgan.

712
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Gary Nolan having to bear down for the first time today as he tries to keep the Cubs off the board.

713
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Pitch on the way to the plate it's too low.

714
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:17,000
Between games today we'll be hearing from the East Central High School marching band from Brookville Indiana.

715
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:26,000
In game pitches again Clay Kirby against left-hander Jeff Zahn. Call strike one and one.

716
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Rachel a single a lap to sacrifice by Kessinger. Cubs trying to get on the board.

717
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:51,000
Cardinal waiting strike two is called. Nolan out in front one and two.

718
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Madlock in the on deck circle. Nolan working bouncing ball third base rose up looks

719
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Russell back to second and throws Cardinal out at first. Two down.

720
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Here comes Madlock he's had one of the three Chicago hits a single in the fourth inning.

721
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Did a fly ball to right in the first.

722
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Gary Nolan two-thirds of the way home for it. Keeping this game and nothing nothing score.

723
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:38,000
Russell leading at second base here's a line drive down the left field line that's in for a base hit.

724
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:42,000
Here comes Foster they send Russell home the throw to the plate and not in time.

725
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:46,000
As bench had to go out in front of the plate to get it.

726
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Two outs single to left field by Madlock scores Russell as the Cubs fracture the nothing nothing tie

727
01:15:53,000 --> 01:16:00,000
and Madlock goes to second on the throw hole.

728
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:07,000
Thirty-third RBI of the year for Bill Madlock.

729
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Really looked like the Reds might have had a shot at getting Russell at the plate but bench had to go out in front of the plate

730
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:20,000
about five feet to take Foster's throw and Russell as a result was safely sliding.

731
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:24,000
Here's Rick Monday with two down and a run in.

732
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Starts to go looked like he went but third base umpire Dutch Rennert said he didn't.

733
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Monday has struck out and fly it out.

734
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:43,000
A lead off single by Russell a sacrifice and a two out base hit to left by Madlock as it comes up one nothing.

735
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:57,000
Outside two balls and no strike.

736
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:06,000
Nolan into his motion. Ah ground ball wide at first Perez has it he leads Nolan he steps on the bag and that's it for the Cubs in the sixth inning.

737
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:10,000
But they got a run the game first on two hits and leave a man on.

738
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:15,000
In the middle of inning number six Chicago one and Cincinnati nothing.

739
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:19,000
If it's a big boy you're hungry for.

740
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Fresh is gonna open their door.

741
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,000
If it's a big boy it's got to be fresh.

742
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:34,000
What has to large beef patties cheese lettuce and our own special sauce and is served with french fries and creamy coleslaw.

743
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:43,000
You're right the big boy platter and you'll find it only at.

744
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Every home something good to eat.

745
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:16,000
For when you want.

746
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Right.

747
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:27,680
the agriculture industry with a special Farmers Night baseball game on Saturday, June 28th.

748
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:32,440
More than $20,000 in prizes will be given away, including an international harvester

749
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:39,280
Lowstar truck worth nearly $10,000, an IH tractor, enough to cow up XL-75 seed corn

750
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:44,920
to plant 30 acres, and $500 in merchandise from landmarks, town and country stores. Why

751
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:49,200
not get a group together for Farmers Night? And if you can't attend, send a postcard with

752
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:54,360
your name and address to be received before the June 28th drawing. The Farmers Night Riverfront

753
01:18:54,360 --> 01:19:01,600
Stadium, Cincinnati. Cubs out in front, 1-0 as we come to bat in the sixth inning. Gary

754
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:08,320
Nolan will start it off. The Reds relegate it up to this point to only a one-hit roll

755
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:13,280
while the Cubs put together a hit, a sacrifice, and a base hit in the top of this inning.

756
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:19,640
The run scoring single by Billy Madlock to send them out in front. Nolan struck out swinging

757
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:35,440
his only time up, that in the third. Batter and pitcher ready, here it comes, fastball

758
01:19:35,440 --> 01:19:41,920
inside, ball one. Dodgers and Philadelphia have now played two and a half innings with

759
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:48,840
no score in that game. Atlanta, New York, nothing, nothing at the end of one. Strike

760
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:58,880
is called to Nolan, one and one. Gary's had the luxury in his last few starts of getting

761
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:03,720
a great deal of runs, but gone the other way today against some pretty good pitching by

762
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:19,800
the Chicago right-handed. Call strike two. And it's strike three swinging. So, Russell

763
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:24,560
has strikeout number six. He'll be facing Pete Rose, who's been hit by a pitch, and

764
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:37,560
it bounced out to second base. Russell has now retired 12 hitters in a row. Rose batting

765
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:48,160
295 with three homers and 28 runs batted in. Seed up among the top five in the hit category

766
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:54,680
in the National League. Foul ball. Garvey leads with 75. Davey Cash bearing down on

767
01:20:54,680 --> 01:21:05,120
Garvey. Two hits last night to raise his total to 71. Madlock, 67 with the two hits today,

768
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:13,160
then Rose with his 65, and Johnny Grubb with 63. Strike two, call. Outside corner and Rose

769
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:31,640
in a back off and talk about that one. One-nothing score, Chicago leading in the home sixth inning

770
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:53,680
with an out and nobody on. The strike two pits to Pete inside.

771
01:21:53,680 --> 01:22:02,320
Still maintaining that slow, casual pace, been so successful for him this afternoon.

772
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:15,120
Two and two, missing high and outside. Jim Marshall, just a moment ago, sending out a

773
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:20,200
side to Mundy in center field, wanting to move a couple of steps more to his right and

774
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:27,600
play Pete pretty much straight away. Full count, off-speed pitches high and wide. Three

775
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:35,320
and two on Rose. Well, if we get Pete on, maybe something good can happen here. Danny

776
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:45,880
Dreesen due up next. Russell with a long look. Now his line and the three-two pitch on the

777
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:51,080
way. Swung on and hit hard directly at Thornton at first base. He beats Rose to the back,

778
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:59,920
two down. Dreesen has been on one time at a first inning walk, but then grounded out

779
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:19,920
to Kessinger in the third on a hard one-hopper. Dreesen beating right-handed pitchers 11 consecutive

780
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:34,320
times. Having a hard time here today. Call strike one. Run on four hits for the Cubs,

781
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:41,360
no runs, one hit for Cincinnati. Two out on the bottom of the sixth inning. Swung on,

782
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:47,040
ground ball first base, then Thornton again scoops it up and gets the bag first to retire

783
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:52,840
to the side. Three men up and three men down and through six complete. And a pitchers duel

784
01:23:52,840 --> 01:24:04,360
in game one of this Sunday afternoon doubleheader, the Cubs won and Cincinnati nothing. The folks

785
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:09,160
at the Strow Brewery want to remind you that it's Strow Party time and they also want to

786
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:15,520
give you a free recipe on how to Strow a party. So here goes. First, get yourself some good

787
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:25,920
music like this. Next, add some good friends and neighbors. Spread around some good snacks

788
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,760
like potato chips, pretzels, things your friends like or be different and surprise them with

789
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:37,080
something new and good. Then top everything off with plenty of good cold Strow's beer.

790
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:42,920
That's the important part. Blend it all together and you've got yourself one great party. Keep

791
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:47,960
this in mind the next time you're out shopping and look for the Strow Party display featuring

792
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:54,960
our Stakehold 12 pack wherever you buy beer. And we'll see you at the party.

793
01:24:54,960 --> 01:25:00,400
The Strow Brewery Center, Detroit, Michigan.

794
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:09,800
We'll pause again for station identification on the Cincinnati Reds baseball network. The

795
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:15,080
home of the $5,000 button, WLW Cincinnati. You'll find some great Father's Day gift ideas

796
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:20,680
in every price range when you visit the Cincinnati Reds 580 gift shop corner of 6 to Monet downtown

797
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:25,680
Cincinnati.

798
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,200
Andy Thornton first up for the Cubs in the seventh inning and back to call the action

799
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:30,200
for you, Joe Nutsol.

800
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:35,320
All right, Marty, as you pointed out, a real pitcher's battle here this afternoon. The first

801
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:41,280
game, the Cubs have that four hits off Gary Nolan. Andy Thornton has one of the four and

802
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:47,280
Nolan delivers a curveball way outside to Thornton the ball. Thornton is struck out,

803
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:53,240
was called out in strikes in the second inning and then single the center in the fifth. Cubs

804
01:25:53,240 --> 01:26:02,080
leading one to nothing. Nolan winds, delivers. Fastball is flung on and grounded to Concepcion.

805
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:10,840
In short, he has long throw to Perez, one away. That'll bring Peter Lecoq to the plate.

806
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:17,840
He is all for two both times. He's hit fly balls to Dan Dresen in right field. The Cubs

807
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:23,960
getting their run in the sixth inning. Rushall scoring the run. He let off the inning with

808
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:31,000
a single with sacrifice to second by Kissinger and then after Cardenas, or Cardenaux, grounded

809
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:39,240
the rows. He takes inside a ball, Lecoq. Then Maddox singles the left and Foster's throw

810
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:45,920
was off the plate. Rushall scored the one run in the ball game. One and no to Concepcion.

811
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:51,960
Nolan delivers. Lecoq swings, ground ball. Perez has it at first, waves Nolan away and

812
01:26:51,960 --> 01:27:02,280
quickly two away here in the seventh. Two down and Manny Trillo steps in, all for two,

813
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:17,960
fly ball to right and a fly ball to center. Nolan winds and delivers to Trillo. He takes

814
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:25,480
a fast ball to call a strike. The Cubs look like they're trying to setting on Gary's breaking

815
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:32,520
stuff at the moment. The 0-1 on the way. Fast ball grounded to Concepcion. Deep and short

816
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:39,720
Bob was the ball, picks it up, throws and did not get it. Tony Perez digging the ball

817
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:46,320
out to the right of the bag but Trillo hustling down the line, beats the throw and that's

818
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:54,240
going to be an arrow charge to Dave Concepcion. First arrow in the ball game. No, a two away

819
01:27:54,240 --> 01:28:07,640
Trillo at first base and stepping in is the catcher, Steve Swisher. Nolan sets and delivers.

820
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:12,200
Swisher swings, ground ball in the hole in the left field, a base hit. Foster up with

821
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:18,360
the ball, returns it to the infield and that is hit number five for Chicago off Gary Nolan

822
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:26,840
and brings pitcher Rick Ruschel to the plate. Ruschel, one for two, was caught out on strikes

823
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:36,440
in the third and then singled in the sixth and scored the one Chicago run. Looking at

824
01:28:36,440 --> 01:28:46,040
the stolen bases for the Cubs, that's 17 steals and 11 times they have been caught. Harden

825
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:53,560
all leads for the 11 of those 17 steals, he's been caught once. All right, Ruschel to play.

826
01:28:53,560 --> 01:29:00,520
Trillo at second, Swisher at first. Going outside with a fast ball. Gary Nolan, one

827
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:11,240
and all. Gary the stretch and delivers that swung on and popped foul behind the plate,

828
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:16,520
bench off with a bash coming back and that one drops into the seat. Not even one and

829
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:27,560
one. Pedro were balled and the Reds both then loosening up. Well, the Reds is beating right

830
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:34,920
handers 11 straight times. Well, you're going to have to get us a couple here soon. First,

831
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:40,920
we've got to get Ruschel. Here's the pitch. Fast ball is swung on, hits the left field.

832
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:46,040
George Foster moving a bit to his left, pats the glove once and has it and that's it. In

833
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:50,280
the inning, no runs, they hit one error. Two runners left on base and at the middle of

834
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:56,520
the seventh, the Cubs won, the Reds nothing.

835
01:29:56,520 --> 01:30:00,760
Josephine, I'm home. Well, it's about time, Napoleon. Say, what are you hiding under your

836
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:05,400
coat? Persia? Constantinople? No. A loaf of French bread maybe. What is it? A new toaster.

837
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:10,280
A new toaster. We don't need a new toaster. Listen, Josephine, I got it free for opening

838
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:16,200
a savings account at the bank across the boulevard and all I had to do was deposit $5,000. You

839
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:22,280
call $5,000 for a toaster free Napoleon. Sometimes I think you're short on brains too. You've

840
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:27,400
got to look hard for the right bank, one with the services we need, with plenty of security,

841
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:33,000
nice people and a good solid reputation. And you want to chuck all that for a new toaster?

842
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:38,120
Seemed like a good idea at the time. Yeah, so did Waterloo. At First National Bank of

843
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:43,160
Cincinnati, we don't give away toasters or frying pans or premiums of any kind because

844
01:30:43,160 --> 01:31:00,040
our business is banking. Pure and simple.

845
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:05,240
Val Veradge in the seventh inning will send up Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez.

846
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:11,480
It's about time we got on the old board. Rick Ruskell is fixin' an excellent ball game.

847
01:31:11,480 --> 01:31:17,640
We've had just one hit and that was Geronimo's single in the second inning. And the Chief

848
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:24,920
of course cut down on the steal attempt. So really Ruskell, with the help of the throw

849
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:33,400
of Steve Swisher to the trio to cut down Geronimo, he's retired their base, I should say, just

850
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:39,400
15 men in the last five innings. All right, Joe Morgan at the plate. Joe is

851
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:45,240
0-2. He's hit a fly ball to the right and has been called out on strikes. And the crowd

852
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:51,880
comes alive here at Riverfront. Morgan takes the first pitch from Ruskell, a called strike.

853
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:58,920
Ruskell has struck out 6, walked one and has hit a batter. Hitting Rose to lead off the

854
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:04,520
game in the first inning and then walked Grecian. That was it as he got Morgan on a fly ball

855
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:12,920
to right and then struck out Benchen Perez. Outfield about straight away from Morgan.

856
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:18,760
Bill Madlock to third baseman right at the end line. Ruskell's 0-1 delivery. Low and

857
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:31,320
inside a breaking ball. County was 1-1. Then just while Freeman to second base in the game,

858
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:36,760
Pete Rose got there in the first inning for the Reds. Ruskell got there and scored for

859
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:43,640
the Cubs in the sixth. The pitch to Morgan, he swings and misses an off-speed pitch. 1-2.

860
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:51,560
Then of course, trio reach second in the top of this inning on an error by Concepcion,

861
01:32:51,560 --> 01:33:00,840
the single by Swisher. One ball, two strikes to Joe Morgan. Ruskell delivers and Joe swings

862
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:07,800
and fouls a slider. Count holding the ball, two strikes. Now they're in the fourth inning

863
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:14,440
in Philadelphia, no score. The Dodgers and the Phils. Giants leading Pittsburgh 3-1 in

864
01:33:14,440 --> 01:33:22,920
the sixth. One Pittsburgh home run by Richie Hebner. Again the 1-2 to Morgan. That's taken

865
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:29,160
just off the plate. Ruskell trying to drop the breaking ball on the outside corner. Count

866
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:41,320
evens 2-2. Ruskell the 2-2. That's ball three outside and oh, he'd like to get a little

867
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:51,160
joy. Full count to Morgan leading off here in the seventh inning, the Cubs leading it

868
01:33:51,160 --> 01:34:03,560
1-0. Ruskell's the payoff. That's ball four outside and we've got something more. Second

869
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:10,760
walk issued by Rick Ruskell and that was going to bring activity in the Chicago bullpen.

870
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:23,080
We would assume Oscar Zamora, the one of them, and Darryl Knowles the other, and all the

871
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:30,120
left-handers are more right-handers as the Reds get their lead off batter on in Joe Morgan.

872
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:43,480
Ruskell sets. Bench at the plate. Now a throw over the first and Joe steps back. Morgan

873
01:34:43,480 --> 01:34:53,320
with 24 stolen bases in 29 attempts. Bench, 0-2. Ruskell again to the belt. Delivers.

874
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:59,240
Morgan does not go in the pitches inside the ball. John struck out the first inning and

875
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:08,280
grounded to Matlock at third base and the fourth. One ball, no strikes. Ruskell sets.

876
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:18,920
Goes again to first base and Morgan is back. That's about the quickest move we've seen

877
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:24,600
Ruskell use. We would assume he has a quicker one. We'll see. Morgan with his normal lead.

878
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:29,720
Ruskell ready and again a throw over there and this time it is a bit quicker and Morgan

879
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:41,080
has to go back hands first. 1-0 to count to John. Bench with 12 home runs and 43 RBI.

880
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:47,720
Big day yesterday for Rilley. Ruskell to the belt. Again a throw to first and again Morgan

881
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:57,400
is back. Rilley going back again hands first. Time call now as Morgan wants to tidy up just

882
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:03,480
a bit down at first. Bob Engel with first base on fire. Bob missed the first two games of the series.

883
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:11,640
Engel of course will be behind the plate in the second game of the double header. Ruskell sets now.

884
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:17,480
Still looking and now there's a bop right there.

885
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:26,200
Ruskell moved his feet before he threw and he certainly bopped. There's no question about that.

886
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:35,320
Here comes Jim Marshall, the manager and I think Jim knows that Ruskell has bopped but he probably

887
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:45,240
wants to go out and just well maybe settle him down a bit. Let's see. So Morgan draws a bop from

888
01:36:46,440 --> 01:36:51,880
Rick Ruskell. He's at second base now and there's been just one pitch made to Johnny Bench.

889
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:59,560
Don Kessinger at the mound as he lays Pat Ruskell on the right arm and now

890
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:07,560
Marshall calls Kessinger back and they're going to keep a good eye on Morgan at second base also.

891
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:17,160
Joe has stolen third I think twice this year. Now Kessinger will talk to Manny Trillo.

892
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:25,160
He uh Trillo's responsibility. Settle him down a bit. Let's see.

893
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:34,760
Let's see. So Morgan draws a bop from Rick Ruskell. He's at second base now and there's

894
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:42,920
been just one pitch made to Johnny Bench. Don Kessinger at the mound as he lays Pat

895
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:49,560
Ruskell on the right arm and now Marshall calls Kessinger back and they're going to keep a good

896
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:57,880
eye on Morgan at second base also. Joe has stolen third I think twice this year.

897
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:02,200
Now Kessinger will talk to Manny Trillo.

898
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:12,920
The uh Trillo's responsibility I would imagine here to hold Morgan close as Kessinger will be

899
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:20,920
playing John well around to the left at shortstop. Trillo is only about 10-12 feet from the second

900
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:29,080
base back trying to hold Morgan close. All right. Ruskell ready. He delivers to Bench and John

901
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:37,480
swings and grounds at foul over to the Chicago dugout. Count evens one and one. Darrell Knowles and

902
01:38:37,480 --> 01:38:46,120
then Aster Zamora throwing in the Chicago bullpen and Clay Carroll has started to throw an arp in.

903
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:55,480
Ruskell ready and the one-one. Bench swings and hits it deep to left field. Stay fair baseball.

904
01:38:55,480 --> 01:39:07,640
Go on. Johnny Bench rips one down the left field line and I mean an absolute shot. The Reds lead it 2-1.

905
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:23,480
Johnny Bench who's 13th home run of the year gives him 45 RBIs and the Reds lead it 2-1.

906
01:39:23,480 --> 01:39:31,480
And boy that was an absolute shot. Ruskell trying to get up and in the look like defense but John

907
01:39:31,480 --> 01:39:37,800
really got the good part of the bat on that one. All right. Ruskell ready to work now to Tony Perez.

908
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:49,880
He swings and fouls the fastball. Reds leading it now 2-1.

909
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:53,800
The Reds only their second hit of the game off Ruskell.

910
01:39:55,240 --> 01:40:02,200
On one the count of Perez. Ruskell delivers. Perez swings and pops it foul out of play to the right.

911
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:09,880
Ruskell out in front. No balls. Two strikes to Tony. Perez 0-2. He struck out the first inning

912
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:15,240
and bounced to threaten at first base in the fourth.

913
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:20,600
All right. The 0-2 swung on and missed and that's strike out number seven for Ruskell.

914
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:26,040
Two away or make that one out and stepping in is Seysar Geronimo.

915
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:32,280
The Chief owns the other hit off Ruskell or the single back in the second inning.

916
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:39,560
I feel straight away to Geronimo as Ruskell delivers going inside the ball.

917
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:49,560
Second game it'll be a left-hander for the Cubs. Jeff Zahn to the Reds close out the second inning.

918
01:40:49,560 --> 01:41:06,440
One-oh to Geronimo. He swings and misses a slider in. One and one.

919
01:41:06,440 --> 01:41:13,400
Johnny Benz 13th home run of the year puts the Reds out in front.

920
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:19,800
Morgan at second base when the home run struck. One-one delivery. Swung on and missed again.

921
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:25,480
Same pitch, same spot. Ruskell now a ball, two strikes with the Chief.

922
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:32,520
Zamora and Noles in the Chicago bullpen.

923
01:41:35,480 --> 01:41:40,760
All right. The 1-2. That's flowing inside. Blocked by Swisher. Count even.

924
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:48,360
Two balls, two strikes. Lake Carroll throwing in the Cincinnati bullpen.

925
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:55,640
Merv Retman loosening up and that would mean that Merv will probably go into the game and then

926
01:41:55,640 --> 01:42:04,760
right field replacing Dan Dreesen. Ruskell's 2-2 on the way. Swung on and missed. Eight strikeouts

927
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:11,560
for Rick Ruskell. Rick has made one bad pitch in the game and it cost him two runs.

928
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:24,120
Toolway and Dave Concepcion to the plate. Dave has struck out and bounced to first in two times up.

929
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:36,440
David hitting a 2-93. It's 2-96 coming in to the first game. A fastball is applied to Concepcion.

930
01:42:36,440 --> 01:42:54,360
1-0. Ruskell delivers. Concepcion swings and misses, making a foul tip into the mid of Swisher. 1-1.

931
01:42:57,480 --> 01:42:59,240
Pirates in town to Barnight.

932
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:08,600
Two games. Series 1-1 delivery. David bluffs the button that cost him strike two, a fastball to

933
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:17,160
Denise. 1-2 now to Concepcion. Dave just takes the bat and kind of holds it against his chest.

934
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:21,640
I'm not so sure it was.

935
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:29,080
All right. The 1-2 on the way. That's swung on. A bounce from Madlock charging a third. He gets

936
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:35,240
the running throw away to Thornton and that's it. But in the ending, the Reds go on top with two runs

937
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:41,960
on one hit. So with no errors, no one left on base. The end of seven. It's the Reds 2, the Cubs 1.

938
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:52,760
Now we've gone through seven. The Cubs are on five hits. No errors. The Reds two runs,

939
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:59,400
two hits and one error. For the Cubs, the top of the order. Come to the plate in the eighth inning

940
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:04,440
and back with the action. Here's Marty. And as Gary Nolan prepares to work to Don Kessinger to

941
01:44:04,440 --> 01:44:09,160
start off the Chicago eighth innings, Parky Anderson has double barrel action in his bullpen.

942
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:14,600
Left-hander Will McAnany and right-hander Clay Carroll begin to throw. And also a defensive

943
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:18,840
change in right field. Murav Rettman has replaced Danny Dreeson, as Joe pointed out,

944
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:25,400
with that possibility while the Reds were batting in the seventh. Kessinger 0 for 2 with a sacrifice.

945
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:31,560
It was his butt in the sixth inning following Rick Ruschel's single that set up the Cubs' run.

946
01:44:32,440 --> 01:44:36,440
Madlock delivering a two-out base hit to left field to give them a one-nothing lead and Johnny

947
01:44:36,440 --> 01:44:42,040
Bench is 13th of the year. The last inning with Morgan on base gives the Reds a one-run edge.

948
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:45,960
Here's Kessinger. Here's Nolan. The pitch is swung on and popped up.

949
01:44:45,960 --> 01:44:51,160
Left side of the Reds infield, Concepcion calling. He has it for out number one.

950
01:44:55,480 --> 01:44:59,880
So one pitch and one out at a point in the game when you like to see that type of thing happening.

951
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:05,080
Jose Cardinal come in play. What he's popped is short, popped to second base,

952
01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:08,440
and his last time in in the sixth inning was thrown out 5 to 3.

953
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:15,080
Foster back-pedaling a couple of steps in left field as Cardinal

954
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:24,440
digs in. Nolan five outs away from his fifth consecutive victory. The pitch to Cardinal

955
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:30,680
is swung on and fouled. Dodgers and the Phillies are in the bottom of the fifth inning now and

956
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,960
nothing, nothing in that game. Sutton and Lomborg hooked up in a duel.

957
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:44,840
The Reds going into first place last night by four-tenths of a percentage point over the Dodgers

958
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:48,760
as they fell four-nothing. The first time that club had been shut out this season.

959
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:54,440
Carlton did it holding him to two hits. A breaking ball is away to Cardinal and it's one and one.

960
01:46:00,440 --> 01:46:04,120
Phil Madlock on deck. Nolan back to the play. Cardinal swings,

961
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:16,520
bouncing ball. Rose has it to his lap throwing the first two down. Here's Bill Madlock.

962
01:46:18,440 --> 01:46:23,320
He has had two of the five Chicago hits including the single that brought in their run in the sixth

963
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:30,440
inning. 33rd RBI of the year and batting a very, very impressive 3.30. This young man should be

964
01:46:30,440 --> 01:46:37,560
a very strong candidate for third base honors in the all-star game coming up next month. Fastball

965
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:38,600
high inside.

966
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:53,160
1-0 pitch. Line shot left center of base hit. And Madlock has his third hit in the game.

967
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:58,360
And the inning continues for center fielder Rick Mundy who's 0 for 3.

968
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:08,600
Madlock 3-4-4 in this game is now 5 for 12 in the series. Done a good job at the plate.

969
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:13,160
Has a couple of runs batted in. The tie and run on for Chicago in the eighth inning with two out.

970
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:19,000
Left handed batting Rick Mundy at the plate. Nolan delivers to him and Mundy hits a ground

971
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:24,920
ball squiggler to shortstop. David's throw will be the first and the side retires. No runs in the

972
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:30,440
Chicago eighth on a hit. A man is left in the middle of the eighth inning. The Reds 2 and the Cubs 1.

973
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:42,280
200 years ago Stroh's beer began in a little village in Germany. It was a special beer smoothed

974
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:48,200
and mellowed in small batches over a real large barrel. It was a special beer that was

975
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:53,800
over a real fire. And because it was brewed in those small batches it was like cooking

976
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:59,240
for a few friends instead of an army. People came from miles around to enjoy it.

977
01:48:04,760 --> 01:48:11,400
Today in America Stroh still brews beer much the same way and it's still a smooth and mellow beer.

978
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:19,960
So on our 200th anniversary we took some Stroh's back to Germany. You know what?

979
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:27,000
People came from miles around to enjoy it. Golden delicious Stroh still brewed for you by the same

980
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:34,680
family. Still a real beer lover's beer wherever you are. Stroh Brewery Company Detroit Michigan.

981
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:46,440

986
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:15,000
with each order for handling. George Fonster opening up our 80 fouls off Rick Ruschel's first

987
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:20,040
pitch. George Hitless in two tries has bounced both times to the left side of the infield once

988
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:26,840
to Kessinger and once to Madlach. Gary Nolan on deck. Reds have had but two hits but the long

989
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:34,520
ball has us out in front two to one. Check swing on a curve in on him and it's strike two. No balls

990
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:41,560
in two strikes. While we look ahead to the Cub ninth inning Andy Thornton, Pete Lecock, and Manny

991
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:54,120
Trio are the scheduled batters. Foster hitting 276. Ruschel winds and throws and George Line drives

992
01:49:54,120 --> 01:50:05,720
a base hit to left field. Well we would take an insurance run. And now with that lead-off single

993
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:13,080
by Yahtzee look for Gary Nolan to try to get him on to second base. Just a reminder All-Star

994
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:18,200
Balloting is underway and continues through July 7th. You can get your official All-Star Ballot at

995
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:22,840
Riverfront Stadium, Reds ticket agencies, and at most stores where Gillette products are sold.

996
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:29,880
Madlach creeping in, still coming in. Ball is taken up high by Nolan. Well you've got the left

997
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:34,520
handed Darrell Noles, you've got the right-hander Oscar Zamora back throwing in the Cub bullpen.

998
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:39,560
We've got Foster at first, we've got a two to one lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. Nobody out.

999
01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:47,560
Here's a 1-0. Nolan Buntz first base side and a foul ball.

1000
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:52,360
One and one.

1001
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,840
Swisher straight up behind the plate now goes to the squad.

1002
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:15,640
Madlach coming in again. Here's a pitch inside but a check a foul tip into Swisher's mitt makes it

1003
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:21,560
strike two. A tough break for Gary Nolan and the Reds. That pitch was way in on him. An off-speed

1004
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:26,760
pitch just did. Nick Vibat and he's behind it. One ball, two strikes.

1005
01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:32,520
Madlach looking into the Cub dugout to find out whether or not he

1006
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:39,320
wanted to still play for the Buntz, which he is. That ball Buntz first base line and rolls foul

1007
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:45,320
and again a situation where Nolan was bailing out. That'll go as a strikeout for Rushel.

1008
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:49,320
One out of the inning and Pete Rose will be at the plate if we go back to the top of the Reds batting.

1009
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:59,160
One out of the inning and Pete Rose will be at the plate if we go back to the top of the Reds batting.

1010
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:07,320
He has pitched himself a whale of a game but as Joe pointed out he has made one mistake and that's

1011
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:13,320
the one that hopefully will make him a loser. Rose has been hit by a pitch and grounded out two times.

1012
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:17,960
Foster back leading at first base against a holding Andy Thornton.

1013
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:21,800
Pete looks at a strike away.

1014
01:52:34,440 --> 01:52:42,280
Stretch in the pitch. That misses ball one and strike one. Well Davey Cash has broken the scoreless

1015
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:46,520
tie in Philadelphia with his first home run of the year with a man on base and the Fills lead

1016
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:47,800
the Dodgers two to nothing.

1017
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:01,320
One and one. Rushel with Pete Rose with an out and Foster at first base. Throw to first but not in time.

1018
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:18,600
Rushel taking his time. One one pitch Foster goes. Swung on fly ball hammered back into left center

1019
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:24,360
field. Mundy going back to the warning track and makes the catch as he bangs against the wall.

1020
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:28,040
Now the throw back to the infield Foster trying to get back and does.

1021
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:32,040
Well I'll tell you now Rose hit that ball a long way into left center field.

1022
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:40,280
But Mundy left is left the ground at the warning track to come up with it. Foster back in safely

1023
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:43,080
at first with two out and the batter will be Merv Redmond.

1024
01:53:48,440 --> 01:53:53,080
Merv up for the first time he came on to play right field in the top of the inning.

1025
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:59,080
Merv Redmond batting and even 200 has no homers and five runs batted in.

1026
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:05,480
Back to the double yesterday came out as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and double in the eighth

1027
01:54:05,480 --> 01:54:12,600
off of Oscar Zamora. Call strike one and one.

1028
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:28,600
There's a one one pitch to Redmond he tried to check his swing and apparently was not able to or at least that pitch was over on the outside corner and he's going to get it.

1029
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:50,600
Merv down one and two with two down Foster at first and the eight the Reds two and the Cubs one.

1030
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:52,600
The Cubs one.

1031
01:54:56,600 --> 01:55:10,600
Line drive to left field that's in for a hit. Redmond hit that ball well as Foster moves to second base and holds there and as Morgan comes up we'll pause for station identification on the Reds baseball network.

1032
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:24,600
The home of the five thousand dollar button WLW Cincinnati tickets for all Cincinnati Reds home dates are on sale before during and after every Reds game at Riverfront Stadium. On your next visit pick up tickets at the advanced ticket window.

1033
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:42,600
Now with two men on on base hits by Foster and Merv Redmond Joe Morgan is in but he'll have to wait a moment Jim Marshall the Chicago Cubs skipper is on his way to the mound and we will have a pitching change as a left hander Darrell Knowles has gotten the call to come on.

1034
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:50,600
So we got a break in the action here in the bottom of the eighth change of Chicago pitchers and we'll step out for this message.

1035
01:55:50,600 --> 01:56:06,600
Darrell Knowles the left hander is on now to pitch to Joe Morgan with two men on and two men out and we just got word that Philadelphia added another run in addition to the two runs by Davey Cash's home run they lead the Dodgers three nothing at the end of five complete.

1036
01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:22,600
Knows his one two last two leads his pitching staff and appearances this is twenty first a four oh six earned run average he's working to Morgan with Foster at second right minute first the pitch is high ball one.

1037
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:36,600
Joe for two but at that big lead off walk in the seventh inning got the balk from Rick Rushel and rode home on Johnny Bench's 13.

1038
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:43,600
Here's a one oh delivery check swing on a pitch too low at ball to.

1039
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:49,600
Well they put it on the board here at the end of five full Phillies three Dodgers nothing.

1040
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:55,600
We could win this game it could be a big day indeed.

1041
01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:04,600
Two to one to score Cincinnati Morgan out in front of the count and he's now ball three and those strikes.

1042
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:11,600
I tell you Jim Marshall has had a world of trouble with his bullpen in this series he went to a time and again yesterday.

1043
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:21,600
Eddie Watkin frailing Bobby Locker all had trouble finding the strike zone and now Darryl Knowles in his first appearance has gone three nothing on Morgan with you know who on deck.

1044
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:27,600
Here's a look at the swisher.

1045
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:32,600
The pitch that ball for inside and their bases are loaded.

1046
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:43,600
Now let's see if Marshall will come back and bring on the right handers of more to face Johnny Bench.

1047
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:50,600
Johnny had the home run in the last inning a line hugger to left.

1048
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:56,600
Now with 13 and 45 RBI and apparently knows will stay on the pitch the J.B.

1049
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:06,600
Foster third Rettman second they had it Morgan at first he had a walk.

1050
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:11,600
That's with two grand slam home runs already this season the pitch.

1051
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:19,600
Taking high and away a ball.

1052
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:32,600
The stretch in the pit that's outside and well it's two and nothing to Johnny Bench.

1053
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:39,600
And those came on after Rettman base hit Russia.

1054
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:44,600
A walk Morgan on four straight pitches and is two and nothing with Bench.

1055
01:58:46,600 --> 01:58:49,600
Got to come in with a strike pitch and Johnny knows it all too well.

1056
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:53,600
Former Oakland A's reliever checking in.

1057
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:55,600
Checking the runners to all delivery.

1058
01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:57,600
That is a strike pitch.

1059
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:02,600
He kept it down.

1060
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:03,600
Two and one.

1061
01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:08,600
Play Carol is not growing in the red bullpen but Will Mackinney has not.

1062
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:15,600
The two one on the way.

1063
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:18,600
Check swing and strike two and Bench is really upset now.

1064
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:22,600
He got a little bit bent out of shape over the first call strike.

1065
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:26,600
But now making his feelings known to the plate umpire Doug Harvey.

1066
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:28,600
Two balls two strikes two out.

1067
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:31,600
The bases are loaded for the Reds in the eighth inning.

1068
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:34,600
We lead by a run.

1069
01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:37,600
Knowles a strike away from ending it.

1070
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:42,600
Or if you look at it optimistically a strike away from disaster.

1071
01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:43,600
Two to put.

1072
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:46,600
Swung out and ripped out of the cup dugout.

1073
01:59:46,600 --> 01:59:52,600
Whoa what a shot.

1074
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:57,600
Fortunately that didn't get anybody but it woke a few people up.

1075
02:00:03,600 --> 02:00:06,600
Two and two it remains.

1076
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:09,600
I don't know who that is in the corner of the dugout Don.

1077
02:00:09,600 --> 02:00:10,600
I call it.

1078
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:11,600
He was.

1079
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:17,600
Looks like Jerry Morales it is.

1080
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:20,600
Knows cranking it up again two toing to Bench.

1081
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:25,600
Swing and a miss he struck him out the side retired.

1082
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:29,600
No runs in the eighth for Cincinnati on two hits three men left.

1083
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:34,600
And as we go to the ninth inning we got a hole in the Reds two and the Cubs one.

1084
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:48,600
Top of the ninth inning here at Riverfront Stadium and before Andy Thornton steps in here is a completed pitching line now on Cubs starter Rick Rushley went seven and two thirds innings today gave up only four hits.

1085
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:56,600
Two runs both earned and both coming on Johnny Bench's seventh inning home run he struck out nine walked to hit a batter and also committed a ball.

1086
02:00:56,600 --> 02:00:59,600
Gary Nolan will be first innings.

1087
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:15,600
He's a man of three or at least there the schedule batters through eight Nolan has given them that one run in the sixth inning and six base that comes to not have a hit for the first three but it had one hit over the last five innings and two in the sixth inning when they scored their run.

1088
02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:31,600
Andy Thornton is one for three a single leading off the fifth inning.

1089
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:34,600
Nolan is set to work and Thornton is in.

1090
02:01:34,600 --> 02:01:36,600
Here's a pitch.

1091
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:39,600
Swung out a bouncing ball left side contender.

1092
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:45,600
He has a long throw to make and did not get it.

1093
02:01:45,600 --> 02:01:49,600
Now he gave it one heck of a shot.

1094
02:01:49,600 --> 02:02:04,600
He went deep behind the back white line and pull well over toward third base to feel that ground ball and Thornton who has better than average speed for a big man still just did beat the throw.

1095
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:09,600
So the infield hit to start the night for Chicago.

1096
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:17,600
They have the tie and run out and here is left handed batting people a cock.

1097
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:21,600
Two fly balls to right field and is bounced out to Tony.

1098
02:02:21,600 --> 02:02:22,600
See what he's going to do.

1099
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:32,600
He's swinging away or at least doesn't even blump a button on the first pitch it's outside.

1100
02:02:32,600 --> 02:02:38,600
Comes about at a seven to four but trail two to one.

1101
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:42,600
Now let's turn our first double play of the game.

1102
02:02:42,600 --> 02:02:53,600
One oh pitch swung on hit in the air shallow right center field Morgan calling for it all the way and he's got it.

1103
02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:55,600
One out.

1104
02:02:55,600 --> 02:03:08,600
It will be many trio to fly balls to the outfield he reached in the seventh on an Arab by conception the only era in this game.

1105
02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:11,600
Phillies are now batting in the bottom of the six.

1106
02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:19,600
Still they lead the Dodgers three nothing.

1107
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:28,600
The Reds up by one run two to one here in our first game.

1108
02:03:28,600 --> 02:03:45,600
Oscar Zamora walking back down to the cup bullpen as Nolan takes a long look to bench the pitch the trio strike one call.

1109
02:03:45,600 --> 02:04:07,600
Manny checking in with her of Norrin and he thought that first base one out foul ball to the screen it's on to hope you'll stay tuned on most of these same stations immediately following the completion of game number one Joe will be back with red wrap up.

1110
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:16,600
This one not over yet in the night the 0 2 pitch the trio foul back and out of play.

1111
02:04:16,600 --> 02:04:19,600
Second game pitchers will have played Kirby for Cincinnati.

1112
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:35,600
He's three and three on the year and left hander Jeff's on for the Dodgers are for the Cubs former Dodger one win and two losses breaking ball outside one and two.

1113
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:42,600
Nolan taking his time as he walks around the mound Steve Swisher is he on deck batter.

1114
02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:47,600
Manny trio commanding Gary Nolan's attention right now the pitch on the way.

1115
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:56,600
He'll backing out of this Merve Rettman he has room to play it he's got it to down.

1116
02:04:56,600 --> 02:05:05,600
Dave Swisher scheduled a hit but he has been called back by manager Jim Marshall and champs summers will be the pinch hitter.

1117
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:21,600
Summers the left handed batter who was a starter in right field yesterday was hit listen four times up will be the pinch hitter with two out of the ninth inning.

1118
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:29,600
Two men out Thornton leading at first base here is a pitch the summers of all outside.

1119
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:32,600
Should he get on.

1120
02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:37,600
We'll have another pinch hitter up for the pitcher.

1121
02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:44,600
To a no Adrian Garrett is on deck to bat for.

1122
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:58,600
Darrell knows but hopefully we won't get there. Nolan behind his summers to and nothing check in and dealing swung out and foul back.

1123
02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:03,600
It is a two to one game Cincinnati here in the ninth inning.

1124
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:11,600
Johnny bench with a seventh inning home run following a walk to Joe Morgan after the Reds a trail one nothing on one hit.

1125
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:16,600
The two one delivery that is low and it's three balls of a strike.

1126
02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:24,600
Swung out on a base hit center field Geronimo quickly up with a ball as Thornton takes a turn he'll stay right there.

1127
02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:29,600
And Summers has kept the ninth inning going for Chicago with a pitch single up the middle.

1128
02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:34,600
Adrian Garrett another left handed batter will hit for the pitcher Darrell knows.

1129
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:39,600
They have Will McEnany come on out and pitch to Garrett.

1130
02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:47,600
Adrian Smokey Garrett Jr. left handed hitter who has some power.

1131
02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:54,600
Been up 19 times this season batting 105 with a home run he hits a ground ball right side Morgan has it.

1132
02:06:54,600 --> 02:06:59,600
Bobbles cannot find it and all hands are safe.

1133
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:05,600
While Joe had it behind the back white line and simply could not find the handle on it.

1134
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:13,600
He dropped the ball and rolled between his legs he looked back to find it and by that time no play anywhere.

1135
02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:29,600
So the bases are loaded on Morgan's two out here in the ninth inning and the batter will be Don Kessinger the Chicago shortstop and leadoff hitter.

1136
02:07:29,600 --> 02:07:39,600
Kessinger 0 for 3 has had a sacrifice so now the tie and run at third the go ahead run and champ Summers at second base.

1137
02:07:39,600 --> 02:07:43,600
And all of a sudden things have turned out to be just a little bit sticky here.

1138
02:07:43,600 --> 02:07:51,600
Nolan delivers inside a ball.

1139
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:57,600
Gordon at third Summers at second Garrett on at first base.

1140
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:09,600
Nolan really having to bear down dealing the one 0 pitch swung on fly ball left center field Geronimo back and this one belongs to the ref.

1141
02:08:09,600 --> 02:08:17,600
Here in the ninth inning for the Chicago Cubs no run two hits one arrow three left.

1142
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:24,600

1155
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:50,600
And the Reds have scored a two to one first game victory here this afternoon two runs on four hits to Cincinnati errors with five men left on the Cubs had a run on eight hits no errors and they stranded nine.

1156
02:09:50,600 --> 02:10:01,600
Gary Nolan and winning his fifth consecutive game is now six and three on the year and Rick Rushel who pitched an out of sight ballgame for Chicago but still a loser and a record of four and six.

1157
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:12,600
The Cubs with a run in the sixth inning but Johnny Bench is 13th homer of the year in the seventh following a Joe Morgan leadoff walk was a blow that won the ballgame for the Reds by a score of two to one.

1158
