00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Chicago Cubs faced the Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium for game 2 of a Sunday doubleheader on June 8th, 1975.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
The Cubs were managed by Jim Marshall, who was looking to improve the team from their 96th loss season in 1974.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Cincinnati was managed by Sparky Anderson, and the Big Red Machine was trying to make it back to the playoffs in 1975,

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
after finishing second place in 1974 with 98 wins.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:58,000
This audio recording is from game 2 of the doubleheader, featuring Cincinnati radio broadcasters Marty Brenneman and Joe Nutsall.

10
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And by Riverside Ford in Newport, a block and a bridge from downtown Cincinnati.

11
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Now, for all the play-by-play action of Cincinnati Reds baseball, we go to Marty Brenneman and Joe Nutsall.

12
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Hello again everybody from Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Joe Nutsall and yours truly Marty Brenneman,

13
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
welcoming you back to the second game of the Sunday afternoon doubleheader.

14
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
At the house in the first game, the Reds on Johnny Bench's seventh inning home run with Joe Morgan-Ave on board,

15
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
gave the Reds a 2-1 victory, Gary Nolan the winner and right-hander Rick Rushell the tough luck loser.

16
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Here in the second game, Clay Kirby will go for Cincinnati after his fourth victory of the year.

17
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And for the Chicago Cubs, it will be a left-hander, formerly with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and that would be Jeff Zahn.

18
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
We'll be back with the second game lineups in just a moment.

19
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:28,000
There's always got to be an end to the day, there always comes a time when we go our own way,

20
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I gave it all I had but now the end, the show is over, goodnight my friend.

21
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Now it's time to go my own way, for a fear that's still made the right way,

22
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:03,000
it's the moment every beer lover knows, when you and your day with the Strohs,

23
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
from one beer lover to another Strohs, Strohs.

24
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:20,000
That was Slow-Mo for the Stroh Brewery Company, Detroit, Michigan, family brewers for 200 years.

25
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Okay, if you're ready now, here are the second game lineups, first for the Chicago Cubs,

26
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
their leadoff batter will be shortstop Rob Sparing.

27
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Hitting number two and playing left field is champ Summers.

28
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Batting in the third slot is third baseman Bill Matlock.

29
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000

32
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Manny Trillo batting seventh and playing second base.

33
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Hitting eighth and catching, George Midderwall.

34
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Batting number nine and pitching for Chicago is left-hander Jeff Zahn.

35
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Again going over the cup batting order in the second game, it's Sparing at shortstop,

36
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Summers in left field, and Matlock at third.

37
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Mundy in center, Thornton at first base, and Morales in right.

38
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
With 3-0 at second, Midderwall catching and Zahn pitching.

39
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Before the Cincinnati Reds, leading off and playing third base is Pete Rose.

40
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Batting second and playing shortstop Dave Concepcion.

41
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Hitting third at second base, Joe Morgan.

42
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Batting number four, playing left field, Johnny Bench.

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Tony Perez at first base but will hit fifth.

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Batting number six and center field is George Foster.

45
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Batting nine and pitching for the Reds in game number two is right-hander Clay Kirby.

48
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Once again for Cincinnati, it's Rose at third base, Concepcion at shortstop,

49
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
and Morgan at second.

50
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Bench in left field, Perez at first base, and Foster in center.

51
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
With Redman in right, Plummer catching, and Kirby on the mound.

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

57
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
The Reds are on the field, Clay Kirby, last out as he makes his way

58
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
towards the Riverfront Stadium mound.

59
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Not only do we have a capacity house here at Riverfront Stadium this afternoon,

60
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
we've got a standing room only crowd, and Joe, they saw quite some game in number one.

61
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Well, the way it ended up, I tell you, is really a little shaky,

62
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
particularly after Joe had trouble.

63
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
It looked like he really lost his balance or stumbled on the ground ball by Garrett,

64
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
and then Don Kessinger, who is a guy that you don't strike out,

65
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
and just more or less lays the bat on the ball, tries to hit it somewhere,

66
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
and you have to be a little concerned, but Gary did a good job on him,

67
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
and he got a nice, soft fly ball to Geronimo at the end of the game,

68
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
but both of them pitched excellent baseball.

69
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
You just can't ask to see a better-pitched ballgame than Rick Ruschel worked,

70
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
and of course Gary Nolan, and Rick making that one bad pitch, really, to Johnny Bench,

71
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and I tell you, I don't think John is going to hit him much harder than that.

72
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000
That was just a shot out of his ballpark, but a tough loss for Rick Ruschel

73
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
and a big win for Gary Nolan.

74
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Really, well, it's just amazing the way that young man can pitch.

75
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I don't think he threw five balls down the center of the plate all day,

76
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
or it sure didn't seem that way.

77
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
As a result of the victory, the Reds have now won 15 of their last 18 games,

78
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
and they are in the ninth inning at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia,

79
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
with Philadelphia hanging on to a 4-2 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

80
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
If that game should end up in Philadelphia's favor,

81
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
the Reds would have one full game edge on the Dodgers

82
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
in the National League Western Division race,

83
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
and while the clay curvy can jerk us a good one up here in the second game,

84
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
we can make it a game and a half lead.

85
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Well, as we said before the game, you can't win two if you don't win the first one,

86
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
so we got a good chance to win two.

87
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Manager Jim Marshall shakes things up a bit here in the second game.

88
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Kessinger sitting it out.

89
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Jose Card now sitting it out.

90
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
He was in left field in the first game.

91
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
He's a good example for Alice into the lineup for the first time in this series.

92
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Spurring a right-handed batter.

93
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Seen him once or twice so far in the series, batting 192.

94
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:50,000
The pitch on the way from Kirby is hit hard, and Rose hands it a third.

95
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Line drive, and I'll tell you, it looked like it was headed toward left field,

96
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
but Pete went down to his left and made the play on it.

97
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
The play never ceases to amaze with his defensive work that has gotten better

98
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
and better and better at third base.

99
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
One out, and here's left fielder Champ Summers,

100
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
who delivered a ninth inning pitch single off of Gary Nolan in game number one.

101
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Summers batting 240.

102
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Left-handed hitter.

103
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Got Rose playing just a bit in the third base as Kirby fires,

104
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
and Summers takes strike one.

105
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Playmaking his 11th appearance of the year and his eighth start.

106
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Breaking ball is hit in the air to center field.

107
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Foster drifting back, looking skyward, makes the catch, two away.

108
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Batter will be third baseman Bill Madlock.

109
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Now we congratulate the Reds' director of promotion, Roger Rulu,

110
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
who is charged with a responsibility every time a doubleheader is played here

111
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
to provide between-game entertainment.

112
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I'll tell you, we heard a group that really could lay out the sounds between games today.

113
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The East Central High School Marching Band from Brookville, Indiana.

114
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Better say St. Leon, too.

115
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Okay, St. Leon.

116
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
You tell me to say it, I'll say it.

117
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Here's Madlock with two out.

118
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Batting 333, the pitch.

119
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Well, Kirby bounces one up there and away from Plummer.

120
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
That's quite an interesting story, isn't it, Marty?

121
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
I think they have something around 800 students and 230 of them in the band.

122
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Must play six-man football.

123
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Well, they double it up a bit.

124
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
1-0 delivery. Hit hard and by Concepciona.

125
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
A hit to center field by Bill Madlock, who, boy, continues to swing a very, very hot bat for Chicago.

126
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,000
He had three hits in the first game and that base hit right there, his sixth,

127
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
in the four games played here at Riverfront Stadium.

128
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
So the inning extended for center fielder Rick Mundy.

129
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Mundy batting 294.

130
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Has five homers and 25 RBI's.

131
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Madlock, short lead at first base.

132
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Kirby checking, delivers, taking high ball one.

133
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Defensively for Cincinnati, Perez at first, Morgan at second.

134
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Concepciona shortstop, Rose at third.

135
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Johnny Bench in left field.

136
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
George Foster in center and Merv Redmond in right.

137
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Plummer behind the plate.

138
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And the 1-0 to Mundy is swung out and missed.

139
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:49,000
A ball and one strike.

140
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Kirby, a pitcher known for taking his time out on the mound.

141
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Coming back with a 1-1 pitch and Mundy fouls this one over the screen behind the plate.

142
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,000
One ball and two strikes.

143
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Well it might sound redundant but boy it certainly bears pointing up again how super the pitching has been for Cincinnati lately.

144
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Five times now in the last seven games.

145
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Red starters have gone the distance.

146
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Gary Nolan did in the first game, beating Rushell in the Cubs 2-1.

147
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Mundy hits a fly ball back in the right field.

148
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Redmond will have room to play it.

149
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
He makes the catch and that's it for Chicago in the first inning.

150
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
No runs, one hit.

151
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
No errors with one man left on at the end of a half inning of play in our second game.

152
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
The Cubs nothing.

153
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
The Reds are coming back.

154
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Hello sunshine.

155
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Hello mountain dew.

156
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
With the lemon look of sunshine.

157
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
And the different taste that's right for you.

158
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
It's precious sunrise.

159
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
It pours like sunshine.

160
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Refreshing that morning, the whole day.

161
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Hello sunshine.

162
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Hello sunshine.

163
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Oh no mountain dew.

164
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Mountain dew, a totally different soft drink with a lemony freshness and color of sunshine.

165
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Brighten your day with Mountain Dew.

166
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Hello sunshine.

167
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Hello mountain dew.

168
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
While the young man charged with the responsibility of trying to get the Cubs one win in this four game series is the left-hander Jeff Zahn.

169
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Six-one, 180-pounder from Los Angeles, California.

170
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Zahn, 29 years old, acquired along with pitcher Eddie Solomon from the Dodgers on the 2nd of May for right-hander Burt Hooten.

171
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And Zahn coming into this game has won one and lost two with a 583 earned run average.

172
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
And of those decisions, two of the three have been with the Cubs.

173
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
He's won a game, he's lost a game.

174
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:22,000
And a 521 ERA as he makes his fourth start on the Chicago uniform does not have a complete game.

175
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
He'll be facing Rose first, then Concepcion, then Morgan.

176
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:34,000
At the bottom of inning number one, here's a pitch to Pete, swung on and fouled off to the right and out of play.

177
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Rose going 0 for 3 in the first game was hit by a pitch.

178
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
He's batting 293.

179
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Zahn appearing in 21 games last year with the Dodgers starting 10.

180
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,000
He's one and one with Pete Rose and really put together a very impressive 203 earned run average.

181
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
In those 21 appearances, one three out of eight decisions.

182
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Now the one-one pitch and that's low ball two, two and one.

183
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
22 innings this season, he's given up 24 hits.

184
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Has struck out seven, has had control trouble, walking 14.

185
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
No score, bottom of the first just underway in game number two before a standing room only house.

186
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Ground ball off the glove of Zahn, fielded by Sparing.

187
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Quick throwing onto Thornton and Pete is out at first base.

188
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
If you score our games, let us score that one one, six to three.

189
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
It hit off Zahn's glove, Sparing near a second.

190
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:42,000
The shortstop came up with it and got the outplay at first base.

191
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Here's Davy Concepcion who had a nine game hitting streak stopped in the first game going 0 for 3.

192
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000
In fact, the Reds were limited to only four hits in game number one, but Johnny Bench had the big one.

193
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Seventh inning homer with Joe Morgan on.

194
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:13,000
David a 2-9-2 batter, pitch ball one.

195
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Zahn with the wind up and David is out in front, ball two, two and nothing.

196
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Well, we've got a final in on the Los Angeles Philadelphia game and the Phillies have beat them.

197
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
The Eagles have scored a win over the Dodgers at Philadelphia this afternoon,

198
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
so we got a one full game lead over the men of Walter Alston.

199
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Here's a 2-0 pitch to Concepcion.

200
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
It's in for a strike just below the letters two and one.

201
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Final score, 4-2 Philadelphia.

202
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Lomborg the winner, Sutton the loser.

203
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000
They had 41,334 at Veterans Stadium.

204
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000
2-1 pitch, swung out on a bouncing ball to Sparing at shortstop.

205
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:01,000
1-0 on the first, two down.

206
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
That'll bring up Joe Morgan.

207
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Totals in that Philadelphia win, four runs, five hits, two errors for the Phillies, two, six and three for LA.

208
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Morgan batting 333.

209
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,000
He had that all-important leadoff walk off of Rushell in the seventh inning and then Bench's home run followed.

210
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Joe with seven homers and 32 RBIs.

211
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Jetson has gotten Rose and Concepcion on ground balls and here's a pitch to Joe, ball one.

212
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Defensively for the Cubs, Thornton Trio, Staring and Madlock, Madlock their infield.

213
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Summers, Mundy and Morales left center and right with Middlewall behind the play.

214
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Bluff-Sebunt takes ball two, an interesting and to all three batters in the first inning.

215
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Zahn has fallen behind 2-0.

216
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Behind now to Morgan with Bench on deck.

217
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Left-hander stares for the sign and delivers.

218
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Call, strike, 2-1.

219
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
That Philadelphia victory has capped off a very, very dismal road trip for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

220
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
It may well be their worst in a couple of years.

221
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,000
They will be limping back to LA to begin a home stand that will encompass ten games.

222
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Ground ball right side and through a base hit.

223
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:37,000
The diving Andy Thornton could not come up with it.

224
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:46,000
So Joe Morgan with a two-out single to right, it brings up Johnny Bench and he should get quite some hands.

225
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Thirteen home runs, 45 RBI's.

226
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:58,000
He leads the National League in the home run figure and the major leagues in the RBI total.

227
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Bounding 2-81.

228
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Morgan with both feet on the carpet at first to pitch to Bench, backs him off the plate.

229
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:23,000
You win some, you lose some, what can I tell you?

230
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Zahn bending at the waist to get the sign.

231
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Lances it, Morgan throws the first, Joe breaks towards second, throw that way, hit him and he is in safely at second base.

232
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Well he had the gigantic lead and Zahn threw the first.

233
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Morgan immediately broke to second base and the throw from Thornton to the shortstop sparing covering hit Joe in the back.

234
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
That'll be scored, a stolen base for Morgan is 25th of the year.

235
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
A pause for station identification of the Reds baseball network.

236
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
The home of the $5,000 button, WLW Cincinnati.

237
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Lots of pregame fun awaits Cincinnati Reds fans on Farmers Night at Riverfront Stadium.

238
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,000
The Reds meet the Padres Saturday, June 28th on Farmers Night.

239
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Joe Morgan in scoring position at second base with two down, the one out of Bench,

240
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000
slow hit ground ball left side, Madlock cuts it for a sparing, running throw, got him and the side retires.

241
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:32,000
No runs, one hit, one man is left and through one complaint it's the Reds nothing and the Cubs nothing.

242
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Josephine, I'm home.

243
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Well it's about time Napoleon.

244
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Say what are you hiding under your coat, Prussia?

245
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Uh-uh.

246
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Constantinople?

247
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
No.

248
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
A loaf of French bread maybe, what is it?

249
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
A new toaster.

250
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,000
A new toaster.

251
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000
We don't need a new toaster.

252
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Listen Josephine, I got it free for opening a savings account at the bank across the boulevard

253
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
and all I had to do was deposit $5,000.

254
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You call $5,000 for a toaster free Napoleon?

255
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Sometimes I think you're short on brains too.

256
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
You've got to look hard for the right bank, one with the services we need,

257
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
with plenty of security, nice people and a good solid reputation.

258
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
And you want to chuck all that for a new toaster?

259
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

260
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Yeah, so did Waterloo.

261
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,000
At First National Bank of Cincinnati, we don't give away toasters or frying pans or premiums of any kind

262
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
because our business is banking.

263
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Pure and simple.

264
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
We can help First National Bank.

265
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
We can help Cincinnati.

266
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
No score as we go to the top of the second inning in our second game.

267
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
It'll be Andy Thornton, the Chicago first baseman to start things off against Clay Kirby.

268
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
So after getting the first two men out of the opening inning,

269
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:53,000
reach for a single to center by Billy Madlock, but retired Monday in a fly ball to right field.

270
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Game still in progress in New York.

271
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
The Atlanta Braves leading the New York Mets 6-1 through 5-1-1.5 innings of play.

272
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Atlanta coming up with five big ones in the fifth inning and one more in the sixth.

273
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
They drove Tommy Hall out with a five-run fifth.

274
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Rod Gilbert had a home run his first of the year in the fifth inning with nobody on for Atlanta.

275
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Texas scoreless in the top of the first and game two at Cleveland after the Indians won the first game 3-2

276
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
behind rookie Eric Reich.

277
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Pitch on the way to the plate and it swung on and pop foul.

278
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:44,000
No play for Bill Plummer.

279
00:21:44,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Kirby with the strike one delivery. That is up high a fastball, one and one.

280
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
On deck for Chicago, right fielder Jerry Morales.

281
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Kirby throws and Thornton takes a strike two, one ball and two strikes.

282
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Reds outfield straight away for Andy Thornton who is batting 3-38.

283
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Kirby shaking off Bill Plummer's side, looking again, shakes it off again, now nods ahead yes.

284
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,000
And the pitch high and tight, two balls and two strikes.

285
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,000
In the night, doing it Montreal, the Padres hold a 5-2 lead with Joe McIntosh on the mound

286
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:49,000
and in the fifth the Cardinals have a 2-1 edge on Houston.

287
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Swung on and hit very high into left center field, Concepcion back,

288
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Foster coming in and Davey makes the catch for the first out.

289
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Jerry Morales will be at the plate and as we mentioned earlier Morales has not seen any action at all in this series.

290
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Prior to this plate appearance now he hit by a pitch on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants

291
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,000
and as a result was not a starter in any of the first three games here.

292
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Morales batting 2-78.

293
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Pitch joined from Kirby below the knees, ball one.

294
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Morales this season has one home run and 22 runs batted in.

295
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Swung on, fly ball center field, hit pretty well, Foster still backing, reaches up and makes the catch.

296
00:23:50,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Too hot for Manny Trillo.

297
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Trillo carries a 2-53 batting average into our second game, he's playing both ends.

298
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Heath Thornton, Monday, swing and a miss. In the American League in the eighth, Minnesota and Boston are tied to run a piece.

299
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Baltimore leads Kansas City in the eighth inning, one-nothing.

300
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,000
The Yankees a 2-0 lead over Chicago in the eighth.

301
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Strike two called, Minnesota at California about to get underway.

302
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Jim Colburn for the Brewers against Ed Figueroa and not yet underway.

303
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Detroit at Oakland, Coleman against Holtzman.

304
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Two out here in the second, no score.

305
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Strike two pitch, check swing on a pitch inside.

306
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Nitterwall, the Chicago catcher on deck.

307
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Kirby throws and that just misses the outside edge.

308
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
The count is even at 2-2.

309
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
In case you just joined us, the Reds took the first game 2-1.

310
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Now trying to sweep the Cubs in this four-game set.

311
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Line drive, left center field, Johnny Betts there, he makes the catch and the side retire.

312
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Three out, three down for Chicago, their fate in the second and that's it.

313
00:25:37,000 --> 00:26:07,000
The Kings external catcher.

314
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:31,120
From one beer lover to another, the Stroh Brewery Company, Detroit, Michigan.

315
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:35,960
The third and final Businessmen's Special for 1975 is coming up June 18th when the Reds

316
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,160
meet the Atlanta Braves.

317
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,120
The 1230 afternoon game is a great opportunity for groups to get together for a trip to the

318
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,120
ballpark.

319
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:46,160
For all the details about bonuses extended to groups of 30 or more, contact the Reds

320
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,160

00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,520
By the way, the June 18th Businessmen's Special is also a Senior Citizens Day.

322
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,400
Make your plans now and get your tickets in advance.

323
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,960
Tony Perez opening our second takes the ball from Jeff Zahn, the left-hander.

324
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Tony batting 215, swings and hits a line shot over the glove of Sparing.

325
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,080
A base hit left center.

326
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,920
Quickly up, bobbling the ball as left fielder champ Summers, but Tony settles for a lead-off

327
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,320
base hit.

328
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:22,040
Perez marking his return to the Reds lineup for the first time in 13 days.

329
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,240
The starting lineup in the first game and comes through with his first hit on this twin

330
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,680
bill.

331
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,800
George Foster coming plateward.

332
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:40,880
Reds have now found the mark twice against Zahn for base hits.

333
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:51,120
Foster hitting 281, nine homers, 17 RBIs.

334
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:54,960
Zahn looking, checking Perez, pitching.

335
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,960
4-1.

336
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,720
Zahn angled behind the plate in our second game with Harry Wendelstad at first, Dutch

337
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:08,400
Renard at second base, and Doug Harvey at third.

338
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,840
1-0 delivery to Foster.

339
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,040
Hit down the left field line, but curving foul.

340
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,200
Ball and a strike to George Foster with Tony Perez at first, nobody out.

341
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:27,120
He played baseball in the second inning.

342
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:34,600
Inside, 2-1.

343
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:45,040
Well, the Giants beating the Pirates in the first game of the double-edder at Pittsburgh

344
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,640
today means that the Cubs don't lose any more ground, they still remain a game back.

345
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Three balls, one strike to George Foster.

346
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:59,120
The Cubs are now 28-24, Pittsburgh 27-21.

347
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:06,560
The New York Mets, if they can pick up a win, actually the Mets can move to within a half

348
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,560
game of the top spot today.

349
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:16,880
3-1 on the way to Foster and a check swing foul to the screen.

350
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:23,800
While in our division, we're 33-22, the Dodgers are 33-24.

351
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:30,760
They've lost two more games than we have now, and they're a full game back.

352
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,720
3-2 pitch, Perez goes.

353
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:40,280
It's swung on and foul off Foster's left foot, rolling along the third baseline where it's

354
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:51,760
picked up by Coach Alex Gramis.

355
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,880
Don appears to be quite happy being with the Chicago Cubs.

356
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,440
He simply got lost in the shuffle in LA.

357
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:06,840
Used sporadically by Walter Olson, a sometime starter, a sometime reliever, and getting

358
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,880
a chance to get fairly regular work with Jim Marshall's club.

359
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,960
Let's see if Perez goes here.

360
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:27,200
3-2 the count and Jef Zahn will throw that way before delivering to the plate.

361
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Now the 3-2 pitch, Perez goes, swung on, foul back again.

362
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,400
Tony checking things out with Alex Gramis as he returns to first base.

363
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:48,840
Not field, straight away for Foster.

364
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,600
In field, a double play down.

365
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,200
3-2 pitch, Perez on the move.

366
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,680
That's ball four outside.

367
00:30:54,680 --> 00:31:03,320
So we've got two men on with nobody out and Merv Rettman coming up.

368
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,320
Say his last two times to the plate.

369
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Eighth inning double off the wall and left last night and a single in the first game

370
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,480
today after coming on to the eighth inning to play right field.

371
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,240
He's hit the ball very, very hard.

372
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Merv batting 216, no home runs and five runs batted in.

373
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Playing right field in our second game and has a chance to get us on the board against

374
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,080
Zahn and the Cubs.

375
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,720
He hits a very high fly ball.

376
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,160
He just missed that pitch.

377
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,040
Shallow left field, Summers under and makes the catch.

378
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,480
What a way.

379
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:48,960
Here's Bill Plummer.

380
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Plummer batting 063 has been to the plate a total of seven 16 times with one hit and

381
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,320
one run batted in.

382
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:04,760
Playing in his 11th game of the season.

383
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,280
Perez leading at second base.

384
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,000
Foster off the bag at first.

385
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,640
No score in the home second inning.

386
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,120
Pitch, ball one.

387
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:31,400
Marneit, the Pittsburgh Pirates coming in for the first time.

388
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,280
A couple of left handers throwing in that game.

389
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,880
Freddie Norman against Jerry Royce.

390
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,400
A match with last Wednesday night at three rivers and sure you remember that game, the

391
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Pirates won a two to one.

392
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,440
He's not getting a hit until the seventh off Royce, here's a foul ball out of play.

393
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,000
One and one to count.

394
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,480
They will be going in the series opener tomorrow night beginning at 8 0 5 and on Tuesday night

395
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Pat Darcy will get the call against Sutton Sam McDowell.

396
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:08,720
Don Gullitt opening up the Cardinal Series here on Wednesday night.

397
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,480
Jeff Zide to Bill Plummer, a ball in one strike.

398
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:31,840
Pitch, grounded foul outside of third and on into the Chicago dugout, strike two.

399
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,720
Perez opening the inning with a base hit.

400
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:41,480
Foster getting a walk, Rettman with a fly ball to left.

401
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:57,680
Zide throwing and Plummer checks his swing on a pitch down and away, two and two.

402
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:06,360
Zide with a long look and now steps off the pitching rubber.

403
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:12,600
Plummer steps away from the play.

404
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,920
Now batter and pitcher ready to go again.

405
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,040
Count even at two balls, two strikes with one man out.

406
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,480
Plummer checks it, fast ball high and a full count.

407
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:33,200
We point it out Zide has had some control trouble having walked 14 batters in 24 innings

408
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:39,640
prior to today's start and has already issued a walk here in the second to Foster.

409
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,440
Plate curvy is on deck, here comes a three two pitch.

410
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Runners stay, it's one out of a base hit center field.

411
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,160
Here comes Perez rounding third, heading toward the plate.

412
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,040
Mundy back to the infield to throw to second and with Perez in the Rams take a one nothing

413
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,040
lead.

414
00:34:54,040 --> 00:35:05,400
Base hit center field by Bill Plummer scoring Tony Perez, Foster to second holding there.

415
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,920
A one nothing reds lead and now plate curvy will probably be up there trying to get both

416
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:21,880
in the scoring position for the next batter, up he rode.

417
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:29,720
Second RBI of the year for Bill Plummer, the reds get on the board first.

418
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:31,880
Madlock looking for the bun at third base.

419
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:39,000
Zahn has been touched for a hit, a walk and a hit with one man down.

420
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,960
Curvy squares, bunch through it, strike one.

421
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:59,400
Milwaukee, California underway at the big A in Anaheim, no score after a half inning.

422
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,680
Thornton also in at first base.

423
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:13,120
Zahn readies himself, curvy bunched foul and it's oh and two.

424
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,160
No balls, two strikes, a run home.

425
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,760
Curvy not having any success at all on Zahn's first two pitches and getting the runners

426
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,760
advanced.

427
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:28,040
Now Madlock backing up a bit at third base.

428
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,720
Now starts in as is Thornton and that ball has popped up in the air, but it is fielded

429
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,640
by the third pitcher.

430
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,440
He sees Foster not going anywhere.

431
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,480
He had pretty much given Foster third base when he fielded that bun on a hop, but seeing

432
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,920
that Foster had not come to third, he simply threw on to Madlock to get the force play.

433
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:53,040
George of course having to hold up to see whether or not that ball might be caught in

434
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,040
the, in the air.

435
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,920
Well George might have been sort of blocked from the ball.

436
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:05,040
Marty the angle that Zahn was between the ball and Foster in the fight possibly, George

437
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,920
really can see the ball bounce is the only thing I can think of because the first thing

438
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,760
he wanted to do is go back to second when Zahn had the ball.

439
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,240
So two men out as Foster is forced to third base one to five.

440
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:24,320
Here's Pete Rose with a smash back up the middle in the first inning deflected by Zahn

441
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:30,240
and Pete was thrown out by the shortstop staring.

442
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:38,000
The pitch to Rose is high and inside as he spins around and out of there.

443
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,960
Rose walking around at the plate talking to Bob Engel and Steve, George Midderwald.

444
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:49,040
Rose of course hit by a pitch in the first game by Rick Rushell in the bottom of the

445
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,040
first inning.

446
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:58,240
Two men on, two men out, a run in.

447
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:05,240
Two balls, no strikes.

448
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:16,480
Zahn to the rising bag.

449
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Now sites a sign from Midderwald and his two nothing pitch is swung on and hammered foul

450
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:31,560
off to the right and out of play.

451
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:37,280
For this home stand we'll be in Chicago Friday, Saturday and Sunday for single games against

452
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,280
the Cubs.

453
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:44,280
2.30 on Friday afternoon, a 2.15 starts Saturday, 2.15 starts Sunday.

454
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,320
We'll then be back in for three against Atlanta.

455
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Go on the road for a six date Houston and Atlanta.

456
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Ground ball left side, the shortstop delivers onto the second baseman for the four south

457
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,120
of Enzi in it.

458
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,760
But the Reds get one run on two hits.

459
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:17,680
We leave two men on base and at the end of two the Reds won the Cubs nothing.

460
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Watching the Reds win at Riverfront Stadium has always been a great way to spend the day

461
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:28,120
and one sure way to add to that enjoyment is going to fishes before or after the game.

462
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,280
It's all part of the tradition.

463
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,680
Why frishes?

464
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,080
Because not only does frishes offer a wide variety of great tasting treats from sandwiches

465
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,680
to full course dinners, they also have the convenience of curb service.

466
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,480
When you drive into frishes there is never any waiting for curb service.

467
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,360
You simply press the button on the speaker and your order is taken immediately.

468
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,400
Fast, easy and convenient.

469
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,560
That's the best way to describe frishes curb service.

470
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,360
So the next time you're on your way to the game, curb your appetite.

471
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:12,960
Visit your nearest frishes drive in restaurant.

472
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,240
Play Kirby and the Reds leading one nothing as we move to the top of the third inning.

473
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:20,160
George Mittelwald the Chicago catcher and number eight batter to start it off and here

474
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,400
where the action is Joe.

475
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:29,160
All right Marty, Mittelwald with a 290 batting average, a couple of home runs and 10 RBI.

476
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,600
Reds scoring a run in the second inning.

477
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:39,480
Tony Perez single, a walk to Foster and a single by Bill Plummer, the center to score

478
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,520
Perez from the second base with the one run in the game.

479
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:53,880
Play Kirby making his eighth start of the year.

480
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,160
Reds winning the first one two to one.

481
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:05,560
Fine pitches battle with Gary Nolan and Rick Rushell.

482
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,720
All right Mittelwald steps in to lead off the third for Chicago.

483
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:15,280
Mittelwald, Zahn and Sperring do up here in the inning.

484
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,320
Mittelwald swings in the first pitch and pops it foul.

485
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,440
Rose chasing it, Plummer chasing it over to the Cubs dugout and that drops in the seats

486
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,160
behind the Cubs dugout.

487
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,160
0-1.

488
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:45,880
Reds and the Pirates tomorrow night, 8.05 game time.

489
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:56,640
Kirby the 0-1 to Mittelwald, that's the breaking ball that's just high, 1-1.

490
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Dodgers losing to the Phillies 4-2.

491
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:07,560
1-1 delivery, that's up high, another breaking ball and the count goes to 2 balls to strike.

492
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:14,280
Jeff Zahn on deck.

493
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:23,240
He has the sign from Bill Plummer and the 2-1 on the way, high and inside, 3-1 the count.

494
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:30,280
Mittelwald looks to Irv Norrin, the Chicago third base coach, gets the sign.

495
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,800
Kirby checking in with Plummer and the 3-1 on the way.

496
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:41,000
That's ball four, up high and first walk issued by Clay Kirby, Mittelwald leading off here

497
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,000
in the third.

498
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,800
Picture Jeff Zahn to the plate.

499
00:42:46,800 --> 00:43:00,320
Zahn has been up five times this year without a base hit.

500
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:09,000
Mittelwald leads at first, throws in shallow at third to stretch, pitch, Zahn squares to

501
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:25,200
Bunt and fouls it straight back and into the seat, all in one.

502
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:32,440
Standing room on a crowd this afternoon and hoping for a sweep of the double header for

503
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,440
the Reds.

504
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:40,440
The 0-1 Zahn again squares to Bunt, does first base side, Perez up, he'll throw to Morgan

505
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,880
covering at first base and moving on to second, George Mittelwald.

506
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:54,480
Play going 3-4 on Zahn, credit Zahn with a sacrifice, one away and Rob Spurring steps

507
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,480
in.

508
00:43:55,480 --> 00:44:02,160
Spurring let off the game with a bullet that Pete Rose took off to his left at third base.

509
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:14,320
Spurring a 185 batting average, set one RBI.

510
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:28,080
Kirby sets, delivers and Spurring takes under the knees a ball.

511
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:37,560
Thomas Summers waiting on deck with one out, one 0 delivery, strike called, fast ball gets

512
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:48,320
the inside corner, one and one.

513
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:55,640
Hatfield straight away to Spurring, Kirby ready and the 1-1 on the way, swung on and missed,

514
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,480
slider away.

515
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:14,200
Kirby a ball, two strikes with Rob Spurring.

516
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:20,280
Mittelwald with a good lead at second, the 1-2, that's just high, a breaking ball and

517
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:29,720
Kirby wanted that, pound evens at two balls, two strikes.

518
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:41,520
Well in a week from Thursday the Reds will be playing their top farm club, the Indianapolis

519
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,280
Indians at Indianapolis.

520
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:54,000
Here's the 2-2, Spurring swings and fouls, a breaking ball, pound holding at two balls,

521
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
two strikes.

522
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:11,360
Morgan and Mittelwald talking down at second base, I think David had ideas of maybe just

523
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,640
flipping in behind George with his attention to Morgan.

524
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:23,320
2-2 to count, Kirby to the belt and delivers and Spurring swings, shot at deep rows.

525
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:29,600
So I guess Rob better start trying somebody else out, that's twice his lined hard to

526
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,160
rows at third base.

527
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,640
Two away now and Champ Summers steps in.

528
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:48,760
Summers with a fly ball to Foster in center field in the first inning.

529
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:54,560
Summers will up-tanded batter, a 2-31 batting average.

530
00:46:54,560 --> 00:47:06,000
A little bit of a stretch, delivers to Summers, that's a strike at the knees on the inside

531
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,000
corner.

532
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:14,880
Summers has had two RBIs, a double, a triple.

533
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:20,680
Mittelwald at second with two away, Reds leading one to nothing.

534
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:26,640
Rebound to the plate, Summers swings and fouls straight back, a play quickly on front of

535
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:33,560
Summers, no balls, two strikes.

536
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:43,680
Well you have to say a slow worker.

537
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:51,720
Looks into Plum, shakes off a side, shakes another off.

538
00:47:51,720 --> 00:48:03,400
Still looking and now Summers backs away from the plate.

539
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:16,960
Kirby shakes one, two sides off, now asks for time and wants Plummer to come to the mound.

540
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Plummer looks up at the scoreboard and sees the count of 0-2 so, well we don't know.

541
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:31,440
Plummer talking with Kirby still at the mound, now Bob Engel heads out and the meeting breaks

542
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,440
up.

543
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:43,240
Clay has no balls, two strikes with Summers and Mittelwald at second base.

544
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:53,440
Alright, Clay checking in with Plummer, now the stretch.

545
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,680
The 0-2 delivery, hats flung on and hit into center field, George Foster coming in a couple

546
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,680
of steps, he has it and that's it.

547
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,760
In the hitting for the Cubs, no runs, no hits, no arrows.

548
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:12,560
One runner left on base and at the middle of the third the Reds won, the Cubs nothing.

549
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,160
Harold Lee has been skiing up on Mano Jeska for about five years now.

550
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:21,280
Some of the time it's for fun, but a lot of the time it's just to be there in case somebody

551
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,280
needs some help.

552
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:27,360
Harold's good at snow rescue work, which is what it takes to be a national ski patrolman

553
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,880
around Anchorage, Alaska.

554
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:34,200
Harold's got what it takes because he's not only a fine skier, but also because he's taking

555
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:39,320
his time to learn emergency first aid too, something the skiers up on Mano Jeska are

556
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,320
mighty glad he did.

557
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:45,400
Harold Lee doesn't have to spend so much of his free time up on a mountain, but he wants

558
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,400
to because he believes in people.

559
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:53,680
Harold Lee's also a full-time employee of Marathon Oil Company, production division,

560
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:54,680
Anchorage, Alaska.

561
00:49:54,680 --> 00:50:08,560
Marathonists people just like you, just like me, who believe in people.

562
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:20,480
Marathon Oil Company, people believe in people.

563
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,920
The Reds coming to bat in the third inning, before they do, we'll pause for station identification.

564
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,560
This is the Cincinnati Reds baseball network.

565
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:34,480
The home of the $5,000 button, WLW Cincinnati.

566
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Purchase your Cincinnati Reds tickets downtown at 580 Walnut and at the stadium, at Burkharts

567
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,120
in Kenwood, Crye County, Beechmont, Hyde Park, and Northgate, and at home federal savings

568
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,120
in Western Hills.

569
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,400
Dave Concepcion deleted off in the third for the Reds.

570
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:54,760
Dave had his nine-game hitting streak stopped in the first game, going 0 for 3.

571
00:50:54,760 --> 00:51:03,360
Jeff Zahn, ready to go to work to Concepcion in his first pitch, is down low a ball.

572
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,600
David in the first inning, grounded to sparing at shortstop.

573
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,320
A 290 batting average for Concepcion.

574
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,600
Zahn works.

575
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,400
David takes a strike.

576
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,520
Ball 101.

577
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:27,280
Concepcion, Morgan, and Bench do up here in the third.

578
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:33,640
Zahn in the wind and delivers, and Concepcion swings and pops it up foul down the right

579
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:34,640
field line.

580
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,840
Andy Thornton chasing it, makes a nice play.

581
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:45,880
He's back to the infield and on the run, makes the catch.

582
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:52,680
Fine defensive play by Chicago first baseman Andy Thornton for the first out and the third,

583
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:56,480
and Joe Morgan steps in.

584
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:02,360
Joe singled in the first inning and was actually picked off at first base, but did not break

585
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,240
stride, went on to second.

586
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:10,360
And Thornton's throw hitting Joe in the back, and they credit Morgan with a stolen base,

587
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,080
his 25th of the year.

588
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:28,720
Zahn works and Morgan takes it inside a ball.

589
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:33,560
Fine ball, no strikes to Joe Morgan.

590
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:38,640
Morgan delivers up high and it's 2-0.

591
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:45,960
Reds have had three hits off Zahn, and he's walked one, walking Foster in the second inning

592
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:52,880
when the Reds got their one run.

593
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,880
Zahn's 2-0 delivery and Morgan takes this one also inside.

594
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:01,880
Three balls, no strikes.

595
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:06,120
Second event, John Dine.

596
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:12,560
Zahn has the sign, the 3-0.

597
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,440
Morgan takes a strike to the knees in the inside corner.

598
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,000
Three and one.

599
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,440
Signed 3-1 delivery.

600
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,120
Morgan looks at that one inside, ball four.

601
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,440
Second walk issued by Jeff Zahn.

602
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:36,640
So Morgan's at first base, on for the second time in the game, and Johnny Bench steps in.

603
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:42,640
John hit a little check swing bouncer that Bill Madlack charged and threw him out on

604
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,120
for the third out in the first inning.

605
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,000
Now Andy Thornton is over to the mound to talk with Zahn.

606
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:56,480
Now that first game, a 2-1 victory for the Reds, the 23rd one run game the Reds have

607
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:02,760
displayed this year and we were talking to some of the Cub players during batting practice

608
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,160
today and we told them that and they couldn't believe it.

609
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:17,400
First pitch to Bench is high and outside a ball so.

610
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,280
Morgan with a good lead at first base.

611
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,400
He has both feet on the carpet.

612
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,520
Zahn, the stretch and throws over there and Morgan steps back.

613
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,960
A ball, no strikes to Bench.

614
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:34,600
John with his 13th home run of the year in the first game to win it for the Reds.

615
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:39,240
Now has 45 RBI and a 2-80 batting average.

616
00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:49,480
He swings and misses a high fast ball, 1-1.

617
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,200
Reds leading 1-0 here in the second game.

618
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:57,680
A ball, a strike to count to Bench is on the stretch, the stretch throws over the first

619
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:03,760
and Morgan is back standing.

620
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,720
Tony Perez kneels on deck.

621
00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:13,480
Now this game is far from the pace of the first game.

622
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:18,480
Again, a throw to first base and Morgan steps back.

623
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:22,400
Second game played in two hours and one minute.

624
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:29,440
But this one is not quite the same pace.

625
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,440
Again a throw to first base and again Morgan is back.

626
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,880
Zahn paying a lot of attention, another throw there, almost picked Andy Thornton off that

627
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,880
time.

628
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:46,040
So Jeff paying a lot of attention to Morgan.

629
00:55:46,040 --> 00:56:02,160
Here's the pitch up high to Bench, 2-1.

630
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:19,600
Into the belt, the 2-1 delivery, swung on and missed, not even 2-2.

631
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:33,600
Zahn looking in the middle wall, has his sign, the stretch, and up.

632
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:40,240
Joe again with a big lead, sign the stretch and the pitch, Morgan does not go and the

633
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:49,840
pitch is swung on and filed to the screen by Bench.

634
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:58,560
Well, how about number 14?

635
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,040
Little excitement around the orchard.

636
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:05,560
Bench swings and misses, Morgan goes but they don't get him and Joe is in with a stolen

637
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:13,160
base and for Morgan that is number 25.

638
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,160
They got number 26.

639
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:20,360
26 stolen bases now for Morgan and 31 attempts.

640
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:30,560
Bench striking out, or Zahn his first strikeout, stepping in is Tony Perez.

641
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:41,760
Tony singled in the second inning leading off and scored on the base hit by Bill Plummer.

642
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:48,280
Zahn ready, delivers to Perez inside with a slider.

643
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:57,360
Tony in the first game of the doubleheader was 0-3, 7 home runs and 31 RBIs for Perez.

644
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,760
Zahn outfield playing Tony straight away.

645
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:12,760
Zahn delivers and Perez takes a strike this time on the outside corner to the knees, 1-1.

646
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:20,360
Dodgers losing, the Reds now a full game up on Los Angeles and a chance to make it a game

647
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,160
and a half for the win here in the second of the doubleheader.

648
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:28,160
1-1 on the way, Perez swings, hits it into the right center field, that'll call you in

649
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:34,160
for a base hit, here comes Morgan, he'll score and it's a 2-0 ball game and Perez is 2 for

650
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,160
2.

651
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:44,160
Tony Perez winding one into right center field for Tony his 32nd RBI of the year.

652
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:52,760
Hit number 4 off Jeff Zahn.

653
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:58,960
Morgan scoring from second base and of course, Joe with a big steal of second on the strike

654
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:04,760
out of Johnny Vance and we're going to have activity in the tub bullpen.

655
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:12,160
Eddie Watt heads on to throw, George Foster swings in the first pitch, pops it up, Bill

656
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,960
Matlock in the tub bullpen has room and makes the play.

657
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,760
The Reds are out but we pick up a run on a base hit.

658
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,760
After the no errors, one runner left on base and at the end of 3, the Reds 2, the Cubs

659
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:26,760
nothing.

660
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:31,760
Welcome once again to You Bet Your Balance, the ever popular game show that asks the question,

661
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,760
is free checking really free?

662
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,760
And now say hello to our contestant for the day.

663
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:36,760
Hello sir.

664
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:37,760
Hi there.

665
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:38,760
You have free checking, right?

666
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:39,760
Right.

667
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:40,760
No service charge, no charge for check, right?

668
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:41,760
Right.

669
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,760
And to get free checking, you had to come up with a big chunk of money for your minimum

670
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:45,760
balance, right?

671
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:46,760
Right.

672
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,760
Now think carefully, can you use your minimum balance?

673
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:49,760
You're not supposed to.

674
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:50,760
Right.

675
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:51,760
What happens if you do?

676
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:52,760
I have to pay a service charge.

677
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:53,760
Right.

678
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,760
And now the biggie, all things considered, is free checking really free?

679
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:58,760
Well, it's time.

680
00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:59,760
Time's up.

681
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:00,760
Ah.

682
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:01,760
Ah.

683
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:02,760
Ah.

684
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:03,760
Ah.

685
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:04,760
Ah.

686
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:05,760
Ah.

687
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:06,760
Ah.

688
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:07,760
Ah.

689
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:08,760
Ah.

690
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:09,760
Ah.

691
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:10,760
Ah.

692
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:11,760
Ah.

693
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:12,760
Ah.

694
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:13,760
Ah.

695
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:14,760
Ah.

696
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:15,760
Ah.

697
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Ah.

698
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,760
Ah.

699
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:18,760
Ah.

700
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:19,760
Ah.

701
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:20,760
Ah.

702
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:21,760
Ah.

703
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:22,760
Ah.

704
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:23,760
I know you're having trouble getting Matlock out on this series.

705
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:24,920
He's had a hit his first time up today, and he'll be leading it off, as Joe said

706
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,760
here in the top of the fourth inning.

707
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,440
In the American League today, Jim Palmer pitched a one-hitter against the Kansas City

708
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,280
Royals as the Orioles prevail.

709
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:36,740
1-0 in that game, Baltimore getting only four hits off of Steve Busty.

710
01:00:36,740 --> 01:00:41,160
Palmer his ninth win, Busty seven and five on the year.

711
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,640
Matlock, Rick Bundy, and Andy Thornton is how their lineup.

712
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:52,840
Ending number four against Clay Kirby who has given up only the first inning single by Madlock has walked the batter no strikeouts

713
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,620
Play throws and Madlock takes outside ball one

714
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:13,880
Right hander checking he delivers that swung on bounced over the head of Rose and a lot feel for a base set

715
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:19,000
So Bill Madlock continues to wheel the hot bat for the Cubs. That's his second hit today

716
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Second hit of the game for Chicago

717
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Be more precise at fifth hit

718
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Today for Mr. Madlock what were the three in the first game?

719
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Here's Rick Mundy and a fly ball that drove Rettman back just a couple of steps shy of the warning track in the first inning

720
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,000
Rick batting 292

721
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Kirby ready with the pitch and it swung out and missed well he just played good old-fashioned hardball with that one

722
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Reds in field a double play depth and the sunglasses start to come out and full force now

723
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,000
They head for that treacherous time of the day when the Sun starts to set

724
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Oh one delivery swung on and popped up outside a third heading toward the seat Rose joined by Davey, but no play

725
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Coming into today's game games the Reds were 97,487 ahead of last year's record-breaking attendance base

726
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
After the first 23 home dates this season

727
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:35,000
604,202 prior to today for an average of 26,270 and we have standing room only for the doubleheader this afternoon

728
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,000
Two strikes to count the pitch foul ball out of play

729
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Two-nothing Cincinnati out in front a run of the second on a base hit by Bill Plummer scoring Tony and then Perez driving in the second run of the last inning

730
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Getting Morgan in from second base

731
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:03,000
Madlock at first nobody out in the fourth swung on grounder foul between the bag and the coaching box at first

732
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Counts day is 2-7

733
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Madlock at first nobody out in the fourth swung on grounder foul between the bag and the coaching box at first

734
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Counts day is two strikes

735
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Andy Thornton on deck Rick Mundy at the plate Billy Madlock on at first

736
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Kirby getting his act together mentally on the mound checking in with Plummer pitching popped up shallow left field

737
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Consensi on backing on it calling and he makes the cut one away

738
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:47,000
That will bring up Andy Thornton who popped out to Davey as a lead off batter in the second inning

739
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,000
The Reds radio network brings Reds baseball to fans in six states

740
01:03:51,000 --> 01:04:01,000
You can hear Reds games in Maysville, Kentucky on WFTM in Hillsboro, Ohio on WSRWFM in Knoxville, Tennessee on WETE

741
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:11,000
You can hear Reds games in Maysville, Kentucky on WFTM in Hillsboro, Ohio on WSRWFM in Knoxville, Tennessee on WETE

742
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:15,000
Thornton batting 333

743
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Checking his swing and it cost him strike one

744
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:35,000
Kirby starting this game in some fast company with the way the Reds starting pitching has been the last week

745
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:42,280
Not a good job so far. The big overhand breaking ball does not break. Stays up head high to

746
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,000
Andy Thornton. The ball one strike.

747
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:53,960
Like the Cubs that scored a run in each of the first three games here and have had a

748
01:04:53,960 --> 01:05:01,080
total in three games of only 18 hits. Five Friday, five Saturday, eight first game today.

749
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:07,000
High and inside. Ball two and Thornton looks quickly out toward the mound. That was a fast

750
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:17,480
ball in on him. Now he walks away from the plate. Kirby has fallen behind to the Chicago

751
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:22,920
first baseman. Two balls, one strike. Gave up a base hit to Madlock to start the inning.

752
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:33,960
Monday has popped out to David. Cincinnati outfield just shaded a bit around toward left.

753
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:47,800
Thornton waiting. He takes outside. It's three balls and one strike.

754
01:05:47,800 --> 01:06:03,800
Kirby throws and that is strike two on the inside corner. So the Cubs down by two here

755
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,120
in the fourth inning. Let's see what Madlock's going to be doing. A 3-2 count on Andy Thornton.

756
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:21,840
Nobody out or rather one out in the inning. Kirby staring intently in as Madlock gets

757
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:28,040
a short lead. Now inches away just a bit further from the back at first base. Here comes the

758
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:40,160
3-2 pitch. He's going. It is swung on and fouled out of the middle Bill Plummer. Down

759
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:46,840
the count stays. Three balls, two strikes. In the National League through seven, the

760
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:51,040
Cardinals lead the Astros four to one. Reggie Smith's had a homer in that game with a man

761
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:55,200
aboard. Interesting to note that with the Cardinals picking up Willie Davis, he has

762
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,880
been playing right field lately with Reggie Smith on it first to give the Cardinals some

763
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:04,240
additional offensive punch. Davis with a couple of hits last night. We'll be seeing them on

764
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:10,440
Wednesday. Now Kirby after getting the sign from Plummer came set, stepped off the rubber

765
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:21,040
and Madlock quickly back into the bag. 3-2 pitch. It's on the way and Madlock stays this

766
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:26,880
time. It's ball four inside. So Thornton gets a second walk that Kirby has given up. The

767
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:41,480
Cubs have him at first and second base for the right fielder Jerry Morales. Only time

768
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:52,960
up in the second at a fly ball to Foster in center field. Now let's have a hard one hopper

769
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:59,520
to Concepcion. Two men on, one man out. Here's a fly ball hammered back into deep left center

770
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:03,920
field. Back is to a bench on the warning track. He leaps up and cannot catch it and it hits

771
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:10,320
off the fence. Foster quickly up with the ball. Here's a run home as Madlock scores the first

772
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:16,560
cup run. A double to left field by Jerry Morales. And it's two to one Cincinnati as Thornton

773
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:21,600
goes to third. That ball missed getting out of here by about three feet. Bench made a

774
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,640
leaping attempt at the fence in left center field and Foster credited him with making a

775
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:31,840
fine play. He came over from center, took that ball off the fence and got to throw quickly

776
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:37,640
back into the infield. But the Cubs have scored their run down. They've got two in scoring

777
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:48,160
position and Pedro Borbon will begin to loosen up in the Cincinnati bullpen. Really looked

778
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:59,080
like that ball was going to get out of here when it left the bat. But Kirby rolling along

779
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:05,160
pretty well in the first three innings as run into problems here in the fourth. He's

780
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:11,240
going to be facing Manny Trio. Runners at second and third. The pitch to him has swung

781
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:22,600
on and shot foul. Trio trying to go the other way with that pitch away from him. Borbon

782
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,520
loosening up and we're going to get further activity in the cup bullpen as Eddie Watts

783
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:33,880
starts to throw. Getting down toward the tail end of the Chicago order. One ball, one strike

784
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:53,240
to Trio. Kirby's next pitch is fouled just off the end of the bat. Strike two, one and

785
01:09:53,240 --> 01:10:11,320
two. Decepcion in from shortstop to have a quick word with Kirby. Borbon leading at third

786
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:19,960
base and second, Jerry Morales who has just doubled across the first Chicago run. Kirby

787
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,680
throws, pitch swung on, a looper into left center field. That is going to fall for a

788
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:31,360
hit. In to tie it up and here comes Foster's throw to the plate as Andy Thornton with Morales

789
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:37,400
going to third. A ball hit off the end of the bat by Trio. Run scoring single and the

790
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:57,040
Cubs have tied it up at 2-2. Third Chicago hit in the inning. Now George Midderwald,

791
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:16,240
the number eight batter who drew a walk leading off the last inning against Kirby. Kirby delivers,

792
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:27,360
swing on a base hit left field. In from third, Jerry Morales in Chicago leads at 3-2. Now

793
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:34,000
Clay Kirby has gone completely bananas here in the fourth inning. Chicago base hits ringing

794
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:40,120
out and they have scored three times. Still only one man has been retired. And now Sparky

795
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:45,840
Anderson is on his way to the mound and that may well be all for Clay Kirby this game.

796
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:52,000
The call has gone down for right hander Pedro Borbon and I'll tell you Kirby went downhill

797
01:11:52,000 --> 01:12:03,040
right now. So Borbon making his way out of the red bullpen. We've got a break in the

798
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:09,240
action here in the Chicago fourth inning and we'll step out for this message. Hello Gene

799
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:13,200
Lehman, Riverside Ford. The Ford business at Riverside Ford has just been tremendous and

800
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:18,840
folks during the month of June we have ordered in some extra Granada's, Pinto's and Mustangs.

801
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:23,120
We have a tremendous sale going on as always you can save a lot of money but I guess the

802
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:28,080
best news that we can give you is during the month of June on these cars we're going to

804
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:40,280
car warranty is 12 months or 12,000 miles. But Riverside Ford is doubling the warranty.

805
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:46,560
That's 24 months or 24,000 miles on a new Granada, Pinto or Mustang. We have them in

806
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:52,600
many colors, all types of equipment, air conditioned cars, V8, automatics, power steering, you

01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:58,080
name it we have it. 100 of these cars are on sale. You can double the warranty. Get

809
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:07,360
a tremendous deal you want to come to Riverside Ford. We're a block and a bridge from downtown

810
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,640
Cincinnati. We'll see you tomorrow.

811
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:19,640
Well we've talked so many times about the fine science of pitching and what creates

812
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:25,200
a situation whereby a guy all of a sudden loses it and conversely all of a sudden finds

813
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:30,320
it in a given game. Today it was on a negative side for Clay Kirby. He went through the first

814
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:34,360
three innings giving the Cubs only one hit. All of a sudden here in the fourth inning

815
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:39,560
the roof caved in on him. A single by Madlock, a one out walk to Thornton, a double off the

816
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:44,520
wall and left field by Morales got a run home, a single by Trio made it 2-2 and a base hit

817
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:50,880
by Midderwall made it 3-2 Chicago. And now we're looking at right hander Pedro Borbon.

818
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:55,640
Making his 22nd appearance of the year, Pete has won two, lost one with a 3-9-7 earned run

819
01:13:55,640 --> 01:14:01,600
average. And as he comes out of our bullpen right hander Raleigh Eastwick begins to throw

820
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:09,840
down there. Jeff Zahn at the plate. Rose looking for the butt and here it is third base side

821
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:14,640
Borbon is up. He throws on to first. Morgan covering to get the out as the runners move

822
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:24,240
along. Scoring 2-4 on the Jeff Zahn sacrifice and we go back to the top of the order for

823
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:43,840
a short stab Rob Spurring. He's lined to third twice in this game. Three runs in. Runners

824
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:48,960
at second and third two out. Fly ball right field hit well. Redmond digging toward the

825
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:58,720
line and it's going to be a foul ball. Now the young Chicago shortstop hit that ball

826
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:09,080
well the other way but just foul. The paid attendance today 50,311 bringing the total

827
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:16,360
season, the total attendance for this series to 135,681. The largest series attendance

828
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:27,320
in Reds history in April, May or June. That ain't bad. PD with the 0-1 delivery. Line

829
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:36,880
drive right field Redmond will make a diving catch. What a fine defensive play by Merv

830
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:43,160
Redmond as he went sprawling on the astroturf. Made the catch and hung on to save two runs

831
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:51,160
and they gave him a standing ovation because it was quite some play by the Reds right fielder.

832
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:56,360
The Cubs get three runs on four hits. They leave two men on base and in the middle of

833
01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:08,520
the fourth Chicago three and Cincinnati two. The folks at the Stowe Brewery want to remind

834
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:13,600
you that it's Stowe Party time and they also want to give you a free recipe on how to Stowe

835
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:23,880
a party. So here goes. First get yourself some good music like this. Next add some good

836
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:30,040
friends and neighbors. Spread around some good snacks like potato chips, pretzels, things

837
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:36,000
your friends like or be different and surprise them with something new and good. Then top

838
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:41,360
everything off with plenty of good cold Stowe's beer. That's the important part. Blend it

839
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:46,840
all together and you've got yourself one great party. Keep this in mind the next time you're

840
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:52,080
out shopping and look for the Stowe Party display featuring our state code 12-9 wherever

841
01:16:52,080 --> 01:17:06,880
you buy beer and we'll see you at the party.

842
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:11,240
Banner day is coming up Sunday June 29th. The Reds meet the Patres in a big double letter

843
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:16,240
and the fourth annual parade of banners will take place between games. Everybody is encouraged

844
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:20,560
to enter the competition and join the fun. Rules are simple. Banners must be carried

845
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:25,920
by not more than two persons. They must have a baseball theme and must be in good taste.

846
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:31,560
A $250 cash prize goes to the winning banner. There will be additional cash prizes for runners

847
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:36,960
up. For more details call or write the Reds office. Start making your plans and get to

848
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:42,160
work on your banner soon. Well as is the case more often than not the man who made the big

849
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:46,840
defensive play is first up in the inning. Merv Bretman with a fly ball to right field. Morales

850
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:52,240
will catch that ball. Well that was not quite the catch that Bretman made on Spurring's

851
01:17:52,240 --> 01:18:00,360
line drive but still a pretty good play. Bretman retired on a line drive to right field. Here's

852
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:10,400
Bill Plummer. Cubs are leading 3-2 for Jeff Zahn in the home fourth inning here in Cincinnati.

853
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:20,200
Plummer had her RBI base hit to center field in the second inning. Now the Cubs up by a

854
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,880
run. They were leading by a run 1-0 up until the seventh inning of the first game. There's

855
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:31,480
ball one inside. Bench's home run turned it around. Gave Gary Nolan his fifth straight

856
01:18:31,480 --> 01:18:41,920
victory. 1-0 pitch. Kyle Pop off the end of the bat. No play for Andy Thornton. Here's

857
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,800
a pitching line on Clay Kirby. Three and a third innings. He gives up five hits. Three

858
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:59,800
runs all earned. Walks two hitters. Raleigh Eastwood still throwing in our bullpen. Four

859
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:06,840
bone is on deck. The 1-1 pitch. Check swing ground ball to first base. Thornton has it.

860
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:11,800
He'll get the out himself. Two down. We'll pause for station identification on the Cincinnati

861
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:18,200
Reds baseball network. The home of the $5,000 button WLW Cincinnati. You'll find some great

862
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:22,800
Father's Day gift ideas in every price range when you visit the Cincinnati Reds 580 gift

863
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:31,640
shop corner of 6th and Monat downtown Cincinnati. Four bone with two down and nobody on will

864
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:38,800
come on and hit for himself. Pitch low and into in ball one from Jeff Sein. Pedro's been

865
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:45,440
up seven times. Has had a hit. Sein trying to retire to side in order for the first time

866
01:19:45,440 --> 01:19:56,240
in this game. There's a strike at the knees to the flumping butter for bone one and one.

867
01:19:56,240 --> 01:20:08,520
Three runs five hits the Cubs. Two runs four hits the Reds. Ball two is high. Reds got

868
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:13,440
a run in the second. Another in the third. The Cubs sending eight batters to the plate.

869
01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:20,560
Scoring three times off Kirby in the fourth inning. Ground ball on a big hop to the first

870
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:25,320
the second baseman. Now the pitcher covers and gets there in time. Heads up play by Jeff

871
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:30,080
Sein. He got off that mound very quickly because Andy Thornton gave indication he was going

872
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:34,520
to play the ball saw that he couldn't. It was taken instead by trio and on the throw

873
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:39,640
to Sein for a bone is retired. Three up three down and through four complete at Chicago

874
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:57,360
three and our Reds two. What has two large beef patties cheese lettuce and our own special

875
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:02,360
sauce and is served with french fries and creamy coleslaw. You're right the big boy

876
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:18,440
platter and you'll find it only at.

877
01:21:18,440 --> 01:21:40,440
The.

878
01:21:40,440 --> 01:21:54,440
Pedro Borbón getting ready to work his first inning in this game and he'll be facing champ

879
01:21:54,440 --> 01:21:57,480
Summers the Chicago left fielder and number two batter.

880
01:21:57,480 --> 01:22:02,280
Summers the only man who did not bat in that three run Chicago fourth inning and they lead

881
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,120
by a run three to two.

882
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:10,680
0 for 2 in the game with two fly balls to center field.

883
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:16,280
Talking about the attendance for this series in this game the season's paid attendance

884
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:24,520
total now is 654,513 for Cincinnati well ahead of last year's base.

885
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:30,000
Pass ball delivered inside.

886
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,560
1-0 pitch swung on and bounced to second.

887
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:33,840
Morgan has it.

888
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:40,560
He throws to Tony 1-0.

889
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:46,400
Bill Matlock working on a perfect second game two times up two hits and a run score.

890
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:52,360
Jumped his batting average all the way up to 340 and that is right there among the league

891
01:22:52,360 --> 01:23:00,480
leaders if not in fact leading the pack.

892
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:06,720
Kirby gone after only three and one third innings today.

893
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:19,360
Matlock takes it well inside from Borbón.

894
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:25,280
Red Bull pen not getting a great deal of work lately.

895
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,040
Swung on and that's grounded to Joe.

896
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:33,840
Throw to first two out.

897
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:39,040
Back to back ground ball to second off the bats of champ Summers and Billy Matlock.

898
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,760
Rick Mundy the two out hitter in the fifth inning.

899
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:49,080
Fly to right and popped to short.

900
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,600
Dodgers losing four to two today at Philadelphia.

901
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:57,800
Reds winning the first game a game up on them and hopefully can come back here in the second

902
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:02,080
game and move a game and a half out in front.

903
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:03,200
Swang and a miss.

904
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,040
Borbón simply threw that into the middle of Bill Plummer before Mundy had a good cut

905
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:16,600
at it.

906
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,600
One ball and one strike.

907
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:27,160
I would imagine that ball might be just a bit tough to pick up at this stage of the

908
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:28,160
game.

909
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:29,720
Here's a fly ball hammered to left center.

910
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:34,560
Foster going to his right and he makes the catch to end the inning.

911
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,800
Three up and three down.

912
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:38,280
We go to the bottom of the fifth inning.

913
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:42,600
The Cubs three and the Cincinnati Reds two.

914
01:24:42,600 --> 01:25:05,560
What does feeling free mean to you playing tennis.

915
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:21,180
You've gone through my career friend Fonzo

916
01:25:21,180 --> 01:25:30,820
fuck waiting for me.

917
01:25:30,820 --> 01:25:33,580
heart across the nation.

918
01:25:33,580 --> 01:25:37,060
Give your friends a generation.

919
01:25:37,060 --> 01:25:41,520
Here's the day, here's the state, feeling free.

920
01:25:47,340 --> 01:25:49,500
We'll be sending the top of the order up here in the home

921
01:25:49,500 --> 01:25:50,020
fifth inning.

922
01:25:50,020 --> 01:25:53,060
Pete Rose is 0 for 2 in the game against the throwing

923
01:25:53,060 --> 01:25:54,380
of left-handed Jeff Zahn.

924
01:25:54,380 --> 01:25:57,260
We'll start it off.

925
01:25:57,260 --> 01:25:59,980
Zahn has given us but four hits, and that was the total

926
01:25:59,980 --> 01:26:02,900
complete in the first game.

927
01:26:02,900 --> 01:26:05,500
Cubs out hitting us 8 to 4 and still winning on Vetch's

928
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,580
home run 2 to 1.

929
01:26:07,580 --> 01:26:11,100
Pete has been thrown out 1, 6 to 3 on a hot smash up the

930
01:26:11,100 --> 01:26:13,500
middle deflected by Zahn in the first inning and then hit

931
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:16,820
into an ending force play on Kirby in the second.

932
01:26:21,460 --> 01:26:25,020
Rose batting at even 290 as he steps in.

933
01:26:25,020 --> 01:26:27,620
Here's the pitch to him, and it's taken on the inside of the

934
01:26:27,620 --> 01:26:30,060
letters for a strike.

935
01:26:39,500 --> 01:26:42,220
Swung on and hit into left field of ace set for Pete.

936
01:26:48,220 --> 01:26:50,820
Rose hitting that one off the end of the bat.

937
01:26:50,820 --> 01:26:55,780
Fifth Cincinnati hit and now David Concepcion up with a

938
01:26:55,780 --> 01:26:57,860
potential tie and run on his first base.

939
01:26:57,860 --> 01:27:00,380
Davey 0 for 2.

940
01:27:00,380 --> 01:27:03,420
Then thrown out 6, 3, sparing to Thornton and popped out to

941
01:27:03,420 --> 01:27:05,740
Thornton and fouled ground in the third inning.

942
01:27:05,740 --> 01:27:08,340
Eddie White will resume his activity in the

943
01:27:08,340 --> 01:27:11,580
Chicago full pass.

944
01:27:11,580 --> 01:27:14,220
David with a nine-game hitting streak stopped in the first

945
01:27:14,220 --> 01:27:19,060
game and now looking for his first hit in the double header.

946
01:27:19,060 --> 01:27:28,620
The pitch going, pass ball missing.

947
01:27:28,620 --> 01:27:31,860
Atlanta and New York into extra innings at Chase Stadium tied

948
01:27:31,860 --> 01:27:34,940
up at 6 apiece.

949
01:27:34,940 --> 01:27:36,180
Single game there today.

950
01:27:39,180 --> 01:27:43,300
Swung on, pops out, heading back behind the Reds dugout

951
01:27:43,300 --> 01:27:46,060
and in.

952
01:27:46,060 --> 01:27:52,780
Mad scramble for that ball.

953
01:27:52,780 --> 01:27:53,780
A ball and a strike.

954
01:27:58,780 --> 01:28:00,260
Joe Morgan now moving on deck.

955
01:28:00,260 --> 01:28:03,980
We've got Rose at first.

956
01:28:03,980 --> 01:28:05,740
3 to 2 Chicago, fifth inning.

957
01:28:11,660 --> 01:28:13,980
John again goes to taking a great deal of time.

958
01:28:13,980 --> 01:28:17,380
We have an easy inning of it in the fourth.

959
01:28:17,380 --> 01:28:20,380
He throws on to first and feet steps back ahead of the throw.

960
01:28:24,380 --> 01:28:25,900
How about field straight away?

961
01:28:28,700 --> 01:28:31,820
Davey waiting on the 1-1, takes it too low a ball.

962
01:28:35,140 --> 01:28:37,300
Decepcion has driven in 27 runs.

963
01:28:37,300 --> 01:28:41,700
He has three homers and has had five game-winning hits.

964
01:28:41,700 --> 01:28:44,100
That's second only to Joe Morgan's seven.

965
01:28:47,060 --> 01:28:48,860
Rose has five, Perez four.

966
01:28:48,860 --> 01:28:50,540
Betts, his home run of the first game,

967
01:28:50,540 --> 01:28:52,380
gave him two game-winning hits this season.

968
01:28:56,060 --> 01:28:59,140
High and inside, three and one.

969
01:28:59,140 --> 01:29:02,100
Now should Zahn lose Decepcion, a lot of good things

970
01:29:02,100 --> 01:29:03,660
could happen.

971
01:29:03,660 --> 01:29:05,380
Morgan, Betts, Perez coming up.

972
01:29:05,380 --> 01:29:07,380
Why the cup bullpen has been going,

973
01:29:07,380 --> 01:29:08,860
I'd like to dip into that one again.

974
01:29:15,220 --> 01:29:18,220
Swing and a miss.

975
01:29:18,220 --> 01:29:19,220
It's all a full count.

976
01:29:23,420 --> 01:29:26,220
Eddie Watt working, getting ready.

977
01:29:26,220 --> 01:29:29,260
Jim Marshall seems fit to go that way.

978
01:29:29,260 --> 01:29:31,540
Zahn trying to protect the one-run lead,

979
01:29:31,540 --> 01:29:32,940
checking Rose leading at first.

980
01:29:32,940 --> 01:29:34,540
He goes, the pitch is now swung on,

981
01:29:34,540 --> 01:29:36,060
hits a deep right center field.

982
01:29:36,060 --> 01:29:37,660
Monday going back, back to the plate,

983
01:29:37,660 --> 01:29:39,260
looking up, it's off the wall.

984
01:29:39,260 --> 01:29:40,260
Here comes Rose.

985
01:29:40,260 --> 01:29:41,660
He gets the green light.

986
01:29:41,660 --> 01:29:44,060
Crio takes the throw, and no throw to the plate.

987
01:29:44,060 --> 01:29:45,860
It's a tie game on a David Double.

988
01:29:51,860 --> 01:29:53,860
He hit that one, and it's a tie game.

989
01:29:53,860 --> 01:29:54,860
It's a tie game.

990
01:29:54,860 --> 01:29:55,860
It's a tie game.

991
01:29:55,860 --> 01:29:56,860
It's a tie game.

992
01:29:56,860 --> 01:30:00,860
He hit that ball and hit it well off the fence

993
01:30:00,860 --> 01:30:02,860
and right center field.

994
01:30:02,860 --> 01:30:04,860
Rose was moving, and as a result,

995
01:30:04,860 --> 01:30:07,860
scores all the way from first base to tie the game.

996
01:30:15,860 --> 01:30:18,860
Davey delivers on his 28th RBI of the year,

997
01:30:18,860 --> 01:30:21,860
and now Joe Morgan will try to fracture this 3-3 tie.

998
01:30:21,860 --> 01:30:24,860
He has single-watched stolen two bases and scored a run.

999
01:30:33,860 --> 01:30:36,860
The pitch on the way, and it is butted foul.

1000
01:30:38,860 --> 01:30:42,860
Morgan, with his two steals today,

1001
01:30:42,860 --> 01:30:44,860
should lead the National League,

1002
01:30:44,860 --> 01:30:46,860
dependent upon what Cedeno has been doing in Houston.

1003
01:30:46,860 --> 01:30:49,860
Joe and Cedeno are in the lead.

1004
01:30:49,860 --> 01:30:54,860
Houston, Joe and Cedeno were tied before today with 24 apiece.

1005
01:30:54,860 --> 01:30:56,860
Morgan has had two.

1006
01:31:01,860 --> 01:31:03,860
Sign checking Concepcion.

1007
01:31:03,860 --> 01:31:20,860
The 0-1 pitch, butted foul off the third base line at strike two.

1008
01:31:20,860 --> 01:31:23,860
A two-strike count on Morgan,

1009
01:31:23,860 --> 01:31:26,860
as he has tried twice in vain to put a butt down.

1010
01:31:26,860 --> 01:31:30,860
Nobody out with a run home to tie the game up.

1011
01:31:30,860 --> 01:31:34,860
Single by Pete Rose, a double high off the wall,

1012
01:31:34,860 --> 01:31:36,860
and right-center by Dave Concepcion.

1013
01:31:36,860 --> 01:31:39,860
Zahn going to work again against Morgan.

1014
01:31:39,860 --> 01:31:42,860
He comes set, he throws.

1015
01:31:42,860 --> 01:31:44,860
Joe takes a fastball high.

1016
01:31:50,860 --> 01:31:52,860
Here's a final score in the National League.

1017
01:31:52,860 --> 01:31:54,860
Padres over the Expos, 5-2.

1018
01:31:54,860 --> 01:31:57,860
Cardinals leading Houston 4-1 there in the night.

1019
01:31:57,860 --> 01:32:02,860
Final score, 5-1, St. Louis winning it.

1020
01:32:02,860 --> 01:32:09,860
Morgan bounces this one off of his foot, rolling into fair ground.

1021
01:32:09,860 --> 01:32:13,860
Played on fire, Bob Engel quickly calls it a foul ball,

1022
01:32:13,860 --> 01:32:36,860
takes a look at it, throws that one out of play, and gives on a new one.

1023
01:32:36,860 --> 01:32:41,860
Count holding at one and two on Joe Morgan.

1024
01:32:41,860 --> 01:32:46,860
Long look back to second base, the pitch swung out and foul straight back.

1025
01:32:46,860 --> 01:32:57,860
Doug Flynn has now started to loosen up in the Cincinnati bullpen.

1026
01:32:57,860 --> 01:33:09,860
Morgan stays away from the plate just a bit longer than usual, and now steps back in.

1027
01:33:09,860 --> 01:33:13,860
Let's see if Jeff Zahn will make another mistake.

1028
01:33:13,860 --> 01:33:15,860
Ball two.

1029
01:33:21,860 --> 01:33:24,860
Two balls, two strikes.

1030
01:33:27,860 --> 01:33:31,860
Donnie Bench on deck, Jeff Zahn on a world of trouble here in the fifth.

1031
01:33:31,860 --> 01:33:35,860
Bradson tied it up, go ahead and run it second.

1032
01:33:35,860 --> 01:33:37,860
2-2 count on Morgan.

1033
01:33:37,860 --> 01:33:40,860
Joe swings and pops it up.

1034
01:33:40,860 --> 01:33:43,860
Danny Trio will play it at shallow right field.

1035
01:33:43,860 --> 01:33:46,860
He has it one down.

1036
01:33:49,860 --> 01:33:55,860
Johnny Bench will be in, but Jim Marshall is on his way to the mound.

1037
01:33:55,860 --> 01:33:58,860
Well, do we get a look at the right-hander Eddie Wada?

1038
01:33:58,860 --> 01:34:00,860
Will Zahn stay around and pitch to Bench?

1039
01:34:00,860 --> 01:34:03,860
I would think not.

1040
01:34:03,860 --> 01:34:09,860
It's been a long, long series for the Chicago Cubs.

1041
01:34:09,860 --> 01:34:15,860
They came in after having taken the last two games in a three-game series with San Francisco.

1042
01:34:15,860 --> 01:34:19,860
Proceeded to lose 5-1 Friday night.

1043
01:34:19,860 --> 01:34:21,860
Gullet beat them 8-1 yesterday.

1044
01:34:21,860 --> 01:34:26,860
Billingham got them in 2-1 in the first game today with Nolan doing a number on them.

1045
01:34:26,860 --> 01:34:29,860
It's going to be all for Jeff Zahn.

1046
01:34:29,860 --> 01:34:34,860
Jim Marshall will go to his right-hander, the veteran Eddie Wada.

1047
01:34:36,860 --> 01:34:40,860
Zahn goes four in one third inning.

1048
01:34:40,860 --> 01:34:42,860
Lasserey had six hits.

1049
01:34:42,860 --> 01:34:46,860
All three runs in against him will go into the earned category.

1050
01:34:46,860 --> 01:34:50,860
He struck out a hitter and walked two.

1051
01:34:50,860 --> 01:34:59,860
This for Eddie Wada will be appearance number three in the four-game series.

1052
01:35:02,860 --> 01:35:08,860
Looking at Eddie Wada's figures, and they are small indeed in terms of appearance.

1053
01:35:08,860 --> 01:35:16,860
Is this his third in all three against Cincinnati after having had his contract purchased just four days ago from the Wichita Arrows,

1054
01:35:16,860 --> 01:35:21,860
the Wichita clubs, AAA ball club, and the American Association.

1055
01:35:21,860 --> 01:35:24,860
No wins, losses, a 27 ERA in one inning.

1056
01:35:24,860 --> 01:35:27,860
He has given up a hit, three runs, and walked three batters.

1057
01:35:27,860 --> 01:35:31,860
He had serious control trouble yesterday.

1058
01:35:31,860 --> 01:35:39,860
Coming on to work the sixth inning, gave up a hit, walked three, and had all three of those six inning runs charged against him.

1059
01:35:39,860 --> 01:35:42,860
Although there were others who also had similar control problems.

1060
01:35:42,860 --> 01:35:51,860
Frailing, walked a hitter in the third of an inning. Bobby Locker walked a hitter and gave up two hits in an inning and one third.

1061
01:35:51,860 --> 01:35:55,860
Three to three to score.

1062
01:35:55,860 --> 01:35:58,860
Cincinnati getting out in front two to nothing with a run in the second, one in the third.

1063
01:35:58,860 --> 01:36:06,860
It cuts tying in with three in the fourth, and we have come back to tie it up here in the fifth on a single by Rose and a double by Consencio.

1064
01:36:06,860 --> 01:36:11,860
And Morgan has popped out, and Eddie Wada will be working to Johnny Bench.

1065
01:36:11,860 --> 01:36:16,860
Updating some scores in the second game, and that San Francisco Pittsburgh doubleheader threw five.

1066
01:36:16,860 --> 01:36:20,860
The Pirates lead it two to one. Richie Hefner has had still another home run.

1067
01:36:20,860 --> 01:36:24,860
His second of the day with a man out of the fifth inning.

1068
01:36:24,860 --> 01:36:29,860
Atlanta and New York are tied at six apiece through ten completed.

1069
01:36:29,860 --> 01:36:36,860
San Diego and Montreal tied one-one at the end of two in their second game. Dave Price Levin against Steve Rogers.

1070
01:36:36,860 --> 01:36:41,860
The Patriots won the first game five to two, and the Cardinals have beaten Houston five to one.

1071
01:36:41,860 --> 01:36:46,860
Eddie Wada is ready to face Bench, who has bounced to third and struck out swinging.

1072
01:36:46,860 --> 01:36:57,860
The pitch to him, taking a ball too low.

1073
01:36:57,860 --> 01:37:03,860
They said, we'll send the Reds back out in front.

1074
01:37:03,860 --> 01:37:18,860
That is a call strike, and it's one ball and one strike to Johnny Bench.

1075
01:37:18,860 --> 01:37:27,860
One-one delivery, swung on a line, shot foul. Passed the bag at third and on down to the Chicago bullpen.

1076
01:37:27,860 --> 01:37:34,860
Ten brailling, a left-hander begins to throw.

1077
01:37:34,860 --> 01:37:42,860
Bench with his 13th homer of the year and the game-winning blow in the first game.

1078
01:37:42,860 --> 01:37:47,860
Now has 45 runs batted in this season.

1079
01:37:47,860 --> 01:37:56,860
His closest pursuer before the doubleheader started today, Dave Winfield of San Diego with 30, well, Luzinski with 39,

1080
01:37:56,860 --> 01:38:02,860
and Winfield with 38, Garvey at 37.

1081
01:38:02,860 --> 01:38:22,860
Wada in relief of Jep's eye, out in front of Bench and pitching, missing away, two and two.

1082
01:38:22,860 --> 01:38:28,860
David, a good lead at second, does, missing with that pitch.

1083
01:38:28,860 --> 01:38:42,860
Bench started to go, held up, full count.

1084
01:38:42,860 --> 01:38:47,860
Lock toes to rubber, puts into his catcher middle wall.

1085
01:38:47,860 --> 01:39:01,860
Three-two pitch, swung on and full foul, down the left field line and out of play.

1086
01:39:01,860 --> 01:39:04,860
By the way, Bench has been swinging the bat in the last few games.

1087
01:39:04,860 --> 01:39:10,860
It's a safe bet to say that the shoulder problems that plagued him so long,

1088
01:39:10,860 --> 01:39:19,860
an early season collision at the plate with San Francisco's Gary Matthews are behind him now.

1089
01:39:19,860 --> 01:39:26,860
Seems to be swinging free and the result would be evidence to that statement.

1090
01:39:26,860 --> 01:39:29,860
Here's a ground ball, basic up.

1091
01:39:29,860 --> 01:39:35,860
They're getting it the other way and David is in to send the Reds up by a run.

1092
01:39:35,860 --> 01:39:41,860
Now they play that over-shift of sorts against Bench, who normally is a dead-full hitter

1093
01:39:41,860 --> 01:39:44,860
and he simply puts that ball to the right side of the Chicago infield.

1094
01:39:44,860 --> 01:39:47,860
He's got his 46th run down the end of the year and gives the Reds a 4-3 lead.

1095
01:39:47,860 --> 01:39:54,860
The pitch, instead of trying to pull it, he continues that while he'll press a few people up.

1096
01:39:54,860 --> 01:40:08,860
Tony Perez is 2 for 2. Ball to it.

1097
01:40:08,860 --> 01:40:16,860
That's RBI is the 8 for Johnny Bench in this series. Tony fouls it away.

1098
01:40:16,860 --> 01:40:30,860
One ball, one strike, two runs across. The Reds back up by a run.

1099
01:40:30,860 --> 01:40:33,860
Eddie Watt working with Tony Perez.

1100
01:40:33,860 --> 01:40:47,860
The 1-1 pitch, swung on and fouled off the bat handle and out of play.

1101
01:40:47,860 --> 01:40:53,860
Watt will rub up the new baseball as Perez waits patiently off the plate.

1102
01:40:53,860 --> 01:41:04,860
Tony's up his average to 225 with singles in the second and third. That third inning base hit produced a run for us.

1103
01:41:04,860 --> 01:41:09,860
Two balls and two strikes.

1104
01:41:09,860 --> 01:41:14,860
The Reds have now had seven hits in the game and Jeff Zines totals a complete four in a third inning.

1105
01:41:14,860 --> 01:41:18,860
Six hits, four runs, four earned runs, two walks and a strikeout.

1106
01:41:18,860 --> 01:41:24,860
There goes Bench. Picked his bounce, five-third and a foul ball.

1107
01:41:24,860 --> 01:41:28,860
Well, that was a near miss for Tony Perez.

1108
01:41:28,860 --> 01:41:33,860
Johnny Bench got the green light to take off. He cuts back across the infield.

1109
01:41:33,860 --> 01:41:47,860
Tony gets ready to wait on the 2-2 pitch from Eddie Watt.

1110
01:41:47,860 --> 01:41:59,860
Watt again goes to taking a lot of time.

1111
01:41:59,860 --> 01:42:08,860
Here he goes again. Bench stays this time and that strike free call is Watt got it over away from Tony and Perez knew it.

1112
01:42:08,860 --> 01:42:13,860
Second out of the inning and George Foster coming to the plate.

1113
01:42:13,860 --> 01:42:22,860
Yatsie has walked and popped out the third.

1114
01:42:22,860 --> 01:42:29,860
Eddie Watt windmilling his right arm on the mound as Foster steps in.

1115
01:42:29,860 --> 01:42:37,860
Reds four, Cubs three, still hitting in what has been so far a two-run fifth inning.

1116
01:42:37,860 --> 01:42:46,860
Call, strike one.

1117
01:42:46,860 --> 01:42:52,860
Both starting pitchers out inside of five full innings.

1118
01:42:52,860 --> 01:42:57,860
Kirby went out in three and a third. There's a call, strike two.

1119
01:42:57,860 --> 01:43:09,860
Jeff Zahn's day ends after four and one-third innings.

1120
01:43:09,860 --> 01:43:18,860
A lot of being made to have to wait on the mound by Foster.

1121
01:43:18,860 --> 01:43:32,860
A strike two count. Pitch outside and low. One and two.

1122
01:43:32,860 --> 01:43:42,860
A right-hander is joined. The left-hander frailing down in the club, Cubs bullpen.

1123
01:43:42,860 --> 01:43:57,860
Here's a one and two pitch. That's too low. Oscar Zamora is the right-hander throwing.

1124
01:43:57,860 --> 01:44:11,860
Now Eddie Watt checking in with a plate umpire. Bob Engel to pick up the correct box on George Foster.

1125
01:44:11,860 --> 01:44:17,860
Johnny Bench leading at first base. And the pitch on the way.

1126
01:44:17,860 --> 01:44:21,860
That gets by the catcher-mitter wall and Bench will go in at second.

1127
01:44:21,860 --> 01:44:28,860
Wild pitch has been charged to Eddie Watt.

1128
01:44:28,860 --> 01:44:34,860
Oh, if Yahtzee can produce a hit in this situation, we will have a run cushion with which to work.

1129
01:44:34,860 --> 01:44:55,860
Two balls, two strikes, two outs, two in. Bench at second as a result of the wild pitch.

1130
01:44:55,860 --> 01:45:02,860
Cub pitcher into the motion, delivers strike three call on the inside corner and Foster is caught looking.

1131
01:45:02,860 --> 01:45:06,860
In the inning for Cincinnati, statistically two runs on three hits.

1132
01:45:06,860 --> 01:45:11,860
The man lacked down and after five, the Reds four, the Cubs three.

1133
01:45:11,860 --> 01:45:17,860
Back in Detroit, there's something very interesting going on. What we're talking about is brewing love.

1134
01:45:17,860 --> 01:45:20,860
And where it's happening is at the Stroh Brewery.

1135
01:45:20,860 --> 01:45:27,860
Now you can see it all happening by taking a specially designed tour of the brewing operations, laboratories, and packaging facilities.

1136
01:45:27,860 --> 01:45:30,860
The tour takes about one hour and is free of charge.

1137
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:38,860
The Stroh Brewery is located at the intersection of the Chrysler Freeway and Granton Avenue, only a few minutes from the heart of Detroit.

1138
01:45:38,860 --> 01:45:45,860
Tours may be taken Monday through Friday, beginning at 11 in the morning and running every hour on the hour until three that afternoon.

1139
01:45:45,860 --> 01:45:50,860
Please keep in mind that groups visiting the brewery be limited to a maximum of 15 persons.

1140
01:45:50,860 --> 01:45:59,860
For additional information, you may contact the Stroh Brewery at the following number, area code 313-961-5840.

1141
01:45:59,860 --> 01:46:04,860
So why don't you make plans right now to visit the Stroh Brewery and spend a little time with some loved ones.

1142
01:46:04,860 --> 01:46:09,860
From one beer lover to another, the Stroh's Brewery Company, Detroit, Michigan, 48226.

1143
01:46:09,860 --> 01:46:12,860
Family brewers for 200 years.

1144
01:46:12,860 --> 01:46:22,860
Well, Pedro Bourbon stands to get a win in this game if he can continue his work against the Chicago Cubs.

1145
01:46:22,860 --> 01:46:32,860
He came on in the fourth inning and got the last two batters out after the Cubs had put three on the board against Kirby and then got them out in order in the fifth.

1146
01:46:32,860 --> 01:46:40,860
Doug Flynn has come in to play second base, replacing Joe Morgan, the only change for the Cincinnati Reds.

1147
01:46:40,860 --> 01:46:44,860
And the batter will be Andy Thornton to open up inning number six.

1148
01:46:44,860 --> 01:46:53,860
Thornton has popped the short draw on a walk and scored one of the Cubs three.

1149
01:46:53,860 --> 01:47:02,860
Four bone throws and it swung on and fouled right back over the screen and down into the crowd.

1150
01:47:02,860 --> 01:47:04,860
Don't forget, tomorrow night, the Reds still home.

1151
01:47:04,860 --> 01:47:06,860
In fact, four more games in this home stand.

1152
01:47:06,860 --> 01:47:09,860
The Pirates tomorrow night at 8.05.

1153
01:47:09,860 --> 01:47:15,860
One and one to Thornton. Freddie Norman and Jerry Royce will hook up.

1154
01:47:15,860 --> 01:47:22,860
They'll be back Tuesday night and then Wednesday and Thursday the Cardinals will make their first visit to Riverfront Stadium.

1155
01:47:22,860 --> 01:47:25,860
Here's a fly ball hit back in a deep left center field.

1156
01:47:25,860 --> 01:47:28,860
Looking up and that ball is off the wall.

1157
01:47:28,860 --> 01:47:33,860
Here's Foster quickly throwing into the infield and nobody covering the bag.

1158
01:47:33,860 --> 01:47:40,860
Both Flynn and Concepcion had gone out toward the outfield and a two-base hit for Andy Thornton to start the sixth inning.

1159
01:47:40,860 --> 01:47:45,860
I think Andy had that one, uh, chalked up the HR pool.

1160
01:47:45,860 --> 01:47:53,860
Well, he had gone into that home run trot as he left home play and then realized the ball did not get out.

1161
01:47:53,860 --> 01:48:04,860
But still a two-base hit for Thornton, the tie-and-run and scoring position for Jerry Morales.

1162
01:48:04,860 --> 01:48:10,860
Morales got the Cubs scoring underway in the fourth inning after a single by Madlock and a walk to Thornton.

1163
01:48:10,860 --> 01:48:13,860
He doubled off the fence in left center.

1164
01:48:13,860 --> 01:48:17,860
Raleigh Eastwick will begin to loosen up again.

1165
01:48:17,860 --> 01:48:19,860
Reds four, Cubs three.

1166
01:48:19,860 --> 01:48:24,860
Big pitch in the dirt. Flummer digs it out.

1167
01:48:24,860 --> 01:48:30,860
Ball one.

1168
01:48:30,860 --> 01:48:36,860
Now Flummer goes out of the mound and will pause for station identification on the Cincinnati Reds baseball network.

1169
01:48:36,860 --> 01:48:41,860
The home of the $5,000 button WLW Cincinnati.

1170
01:48:41,860 --> 01:48:47,860
Tickets for all Cincinnati Reds home dates are on sale before, during, and after every Reds game at Riverfront Stadium.

1171
01:48:47,860 --> 01:48:51,860
On your next visit, pick up tickets at the advance ticket window.

1172
01:48:51,860 --> 01:49:00,860
Bourbon dealing the 1-0 to Morales. He tries to bun and fouls it at the plate.

1173
01:49:00,860 --> 01:49:05,860
One ball and one strike. Runner and second is Andy Thornton, a double to start the inning.

1174
01:49:05,860 --> 01:49:11,860
Sixth Chicago hit in the game and the first off of Bourbon.

1175
01:49:11,860 --> 01:49:21,860
Kirby the starter with three and one third innings, gave up all the Chicago runs on five hits.

1176
01:49:21,860 --> 01:49:32,860
Two balls and one strike.

1177
01:49:32,860 --> 01:49:42,860
Bourbon a quick worker. High pop in field. Pete Rose calling. He goes near the mound to play the ball.

1178
01:49:42,860 --> 01:49:49,860
One away.

1179
01:49:49,860 --> 01:49:56,860
Manny Trio at the plate is one for two, a base hit to score a run in the fourth.

1180
01:49:56,860 --> 01:50:04,860
Talk so much about the starting pitching lately, how good it's been, but really when Sparky has had to go to his bullpen,

1181
01:50:04,860 --> 01:50:11,860
more often than not in this recent surge for the Reds that have seen him win 15 out of 18, the Relievers have done a job also.

1182
01:50:11,860 --> 01:50:25,860
He brings a heavy fastball to the plate that Manny Trio swings and misses on.

1183
01:50:25,860 --> 01:50:37,860
One ball and a strike and a pitch below the knees.

1184
01:50:37,860 --> 01:50:44,860
Thornton now at second base as Flynn and Concepcion play the Captain Mouse game with him, a swing and a foul at the plate.

1185
01:50:44,860 --> 01:50:47,860
Trio behind to Bourbon one and two.

1186
01:50:47,860 --> 01:51:01,860
A large delegation of rosy Reds here today. It's Rosy Reds Appreciation Day.

1187
01:51:01,860 --> 01:51:10,860
Just missing outside, two and two.

1188
01:51:10,860 --> 01:51:17,860
Matthew Marshall is going to get his bullpen ready again. Two balls, two strikes, one out, one on.

1189
01:51:17,860 --> 01:51:25,860
Another foul, this one off the face mask of the catcher Plummer.

1190
01:51:25,860 --> 01:51:38,860
Oscar Zamora gets working again.

1191
01:51:38,860 --> 01:51:48,860
Trio waiting. Bourbon throws. Here's a smash right side. Perez diving, comes up with a ball.

1192
01:51:48,860 --> 01:51:53,860
That was a soft line drive, hit midway between first and second base.

1193
01:51:53,860 --> 01:52:02,860
And Perez with a diving catch of it to retire Manny Trio. Unfortunately for Thornton, he had not strayed too far off the bag at second.

1194
01:52:02,860 --> 01:52:15,860
So two away in the inning. Bourbon a third of the way home toward leaving Thornton at second base after Andy had opened the inning with a double of left center field.

1195
01:52:15,860 --> 01:52:36,860
Middle wall is walked and single a run in. It was his hit that brought about the ouster of Kirby. Strike one swinging.

1196
01:52:36,860 --> 01:52:46,860
TV check-in, throwing. Strike two on a swing and a miss. Both good fastballs.

1197
01:52:46,860 --> 01:52:57,860
Bourbon a strike away from ending the sixth.

1198
01:52:57,860 --> 01:53:06,860
High and outside. Well the Minnesota Twins have, at least today, stopped the Boston Red Sox Express, 7-5 that final.

1199
01:53:06,860 --> 01:53:15,860
The Yankees beat Chicago 4-1, so New York only two games back in the American League East.

1200
01:53:15,860 --> 01:53:23,860
Strike him out swinging, ball dropped by Plummer. He picks it up, throws on down to Perez to complete the strikeout and retire the side.

1201
01:53:23,860 --> 01:53:32,860
No runs, one hit, no arrows, one lap. We're in the middle of the sixth inning. It's the Reds four and the Cubs three.

1202
01:53:32,860 --> 01:53:42,860
You know, if you're like most people, you think all banks are pretty much alike. So when it came time for you to choose a bank, you probably didn't look too hard.

1203
01:53:42,860 --> 01:53:51,860
Maybe you went to the bank nearest you for convenience. Or maybe you opened an account at a financial institution that gives away all sorts of free gifts.

1204
01:53:51,860 --> 01:53:59,860
Or perhaps you were attracted by what's come to be known as free checking. But choosing the right bank is serious business.

1205
01:53:59,860 --> 01:54:05,860
Because when you open an account at a bank, you're actually buying that bank. Well you put your money in it, don't you?

1206
01:54:05,860 --> 01:54:12,860
So when it comes time for you to buy a banking service, we at First National would like to suggest you shop around.

1207
01:54:12,860 --> 01:54:20,860
Compare services, security, people, reputation. Chances are you'll choose the First National Bank of Cincinnati.

1208
01:54:20,860 --> 01:54:24,860
But the important thing is, you'll know you made the right choice.

1209
01:54:24,860 --> 01:54:31,860
First National Bank of Cincinnati.

1210
01:54:36,860 --> 01:54:41,860
Some exciting baseball is in store for Cincinnati Reds fans at Riverfront Stadium in the next few weeks.

1211
01:54:41,860 --> 01:54:46,860
The Pirates and the Cardinals are in town this week. The Braves visit for three games the following week.

1212
01:54:46,860 --> 01:54:52,860
And in late June it's the Padres and the Astros. Stop by the Reds ticket agency nearest you.

1213
01:54:52,860 --> 01:54:56,860
In Columbus at all Central Ticket Office locations. In Dayton at Rikes Downtown.

1214
01:54:56,860 --> 01:55:01,860
In Salem Mall. In Indianapolis at Ross and Babcock. In Lexington at Graves Cox.

1215
01:55:01,860 --> 01:55:06,860
And in Louisville at S&M Sporting Goods.

1216
01:55:06,860 --> 01:55:12,860
Bottom three batters in the Reds order. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Merv Rettman will start it off.

1217
01:55:12,860 --> 01:55:19,860
Fly to left and Rhonda Bavay sit on a running catch by Morales in the fourth inning of Merv's Line Drive.

1218
01:55:19,860 --> 01:55:33,860
Reds are up by the scanned margin of one. Four to three as Eddie Watt throws and Rettman takes ball one.

1219
01:55:33,860 --> 01:55:41,860
Joe Flummer, Pedro Bourbon to follow. Both bullpens at least for the moment quiet.

1220
01:55:41,860 --> 01:55:46,860
Rettman popping it up outside of first base. A play maybe for Andy Thornton.

1221
01:55:46,860 --> 01:55:54,860
Over near the dugout and runs out of room. He ran into that fence in front of the Reds dugout about bell time.

1222
01:55:54,860 --> 01:56:05,860
Completely bent over and now being helped into an upright position as the Chicago trainer comes out to take a look along with our trainer Larry Starr.

1223
01:56:05,860 --> 01:56:11,860
I can't imagine that, well I don't know, I would think maybe just the wind was knocked out of him but he appears to be limping.

1224
01:56:11,860 --> 01:56:25,860
Marty I think Andy hit his knee against the railing and his post through along the railing there and quite possibly Andy banged his knee against that post.

1225
01:56:25,860 --> 01:56:34,860
But apparently he's going to be alright just the shock of it. But fence doesn't move too much.

1226
01:56:34,860 --> 01:56:40,860
Making sure Andy Thornton is well enough to remain in the game. Jim Marshall has come out and he'll now head on back to the dugout and Thornton will stay in.

1227
01:56:40,860 --> 01:56:51,860
A one and one to count on Merv Rettman.

1228
01:56:51,860 --> 01:57:06,860
The Reds have had seven hits in this game. The Cubs have had six. Both clubs have played Errolis baseball. One-one delivery. Two low, ball two.

1229
01:57:06,860 --> 01:57:15,860
The Braves and the Mets are now in the twelfth inning. Still tied at six apiece.

1230
01:57:15,860 --> 01:57:31,860
Swung on, pop foul. Back behind the plate. Middle wall coming back and he'll not have a play.

1231
01:57:31,860 --> 01:57:39,860
Pittsburgh out in front of San Francisco two to one. They're in the seventh. The Pirates try to gain a split of that double header.

1232
01:57:39,860 --> 01:57:49,860
And in another twin bill at Montreal, the Expos lead the Padres three to one in the fourth. Montreal lost the first game five to two.

1233
01:57:49,860 --> 01:58:05,860
Full count.

1234
01:58:05,860 --> 01:58:11,860
Watch three-two pitch. Grounded right side and through for a base hit.

1235
01:58:11,860 --> 01:58:22,860
Ball just passed him out and out of the reach of Manny Trillo on into center field. Rettman's first hit in the game.

1236
01:58:22,860 --> 01:58:35,860
Bill Plummer has had a base hit to knock in a run. Our first back in the second and then bounced out to Andy Thornton at first base in the fourth inning.

1237
01:58:35,860 --> 01:58:50,860
Be nice to add a couple of runs. Lead two to nothing. Trillo three to two and then went out in front four to three. That's our score in the sixth inning.

1238
01:58:50,860 --> 01:59:02,860
The Cubs bullpen has been up and down in this game. Zamora back to start throwing. Call strike away from him.

1239
01:59:02,860 --> 01:59:12,860
Zamora has been a lot of work without being in a ball game. It's the absolute truth. He's gotten enough work already this season.

1240
01:59:12,860 --> 01:59:24,860
One guy certainly can't complain about not getting any work. And has done a good job for Chicago.

1241
01:59:24,860 --> 01:59:29,860
Checking the pitch. Rettman goes. Pitch is swung on. Popped up. Loot in the shallow left. A hit for Plummer.

1242
01:59:29,860 --> 01:59:36,860
Here comes Rettman. He'll try to go to third. The throw that way is not in time. It gets by the third baseman.

1243
01:59:36,860 --> 01:59:43,860
And then picked up by the pitcher, but that'll allow Plummer to go to second base.

1244
01:59:43,860 --> 01:59:51,860
It'll be a base hit for Plummer. An error on the left fielder, Champ Summers. That allows Plummer the extra base.

1245
01:59:51,860 --> 02:00:01,860
That throw took Madlock off the bag. He had to go to foul ground to try and grab it. It got by him and hit the wall in front of the Chicago dugout.

1246
02:00:01,860 --> 02:00:11,860
Rolled along it. Finally picked up by Eddie Watt, but by that time Plummer was standing on second base.

1247
02:00:11,860 --> 02:00:15,860
And it looks like we're going to get a pinch hitter with runners at second and third and nobody out.

1248
02:00:15,860 --> 02:00:30,860
Terry Crowley has selected a bat and he's in the on deck circle to bat for Bourbon.

1249
02:00:30,860 --> 02:00:37,860
He's going to hit the ball to third and he's in the old base.

1250
02:00:37,860 --> 02:00:46,860
Well, I just got in a report here in the radio booth that Joe Morgan left the game because of a bruised shoulder.

1251
02:00:46,860 --> 02:00:52,860
That was the reason that Doug Flynn came on to play in the upper half of the inning.

1252
02:00:52,860 --> 02:00:55,860
Terry Crowley has picked up fouls.

1253
02:00:55,860 --> 02:01:04,860
Marty Joe leaving the game was on the pickoff by Jeff Saund and Andy Thornton's throw hit Joe on the left shoulder.

1254
02:01:04,860 --> 02:01:08,860
And that's where the problem popped up.

1255
02:01:08,860 --> 02:01:11,860
Chicago infield is in. Runners at second and third, none out.

1256
02:01:11,860 --> 02:01:17,860
And Crowley, who has been our most productive pinch hitter this season, is in against Eddie Watt.

1257
02:01:17,860 --> 02:01:20,860
A ball to it.

1258
02:01:20,860 --> 02:01:26,860
Terry batting 4-12 in all-in-pinch hit situations. It's had seven hits and 17 times up.

1259
02:01:26,860 --> 02:01:28,860
Three doubles a run batted in.

1260
02:01:28,860 --> 02:01:31,860
He's batting for Pedro Bourbon.

1261
02:01:31,860 --> 02:01:34,860
Reds with a big opportunity in the sixth inning.

1262
02:01:34,860 --> 02:01:42,860
Swung on and foul. One and one.

1263
02:01:42,860 --> 02:01:47,860
Pedro Bourbon goes two and two-thirds innings. He gives the Cubs one hit.

1264
02:01:47,860 --> 02:01:55,860
And he chalks up a strikeout.

1265
02:01:55,860 --> 02:02:03,860
Redmond at third. Plummer at second. None out. One-one to count on Crowley.

1266
02:02:03,860 --> 02:02:05,860
Here's the pitch.

1267
02:02:05,860 --> 02:02:20,860
Low and inside. A left-handed hitter at Crowley. Two and one.

1268
02:02:20,860 --> 02:02:26,860
Watt back to the plate. That's ball three outside.

1269
02:02:26,860 --> 02:02:31,860
Now you've got Pete Rose on deck. And unless Watt can get a pinch over, he's going to be coming up.

1270
02:02:31,860 --> 02:02:40,860
Pete is in a bases-loaded situation.

1271
02:02:40,860 --> 02:02:46,860
The 3-1. Swung on, hit into left field. It is a base hit.

1272
02:02:46,860 --> 02:02:50,860
One run will score. Here's Plummer coming on to third, sliding safely.

1273
02:02:50,860 --> 02:03:02,860
And Crowley with a pitch single to lap makes it 5-3, aren't they?

1274
02:03:02,860 --> 02:03:12,860
Terry Crowley, who has been called on many times early in the season, but not a great deal lately, comes through in the clutch here in the sixth.

1275
02:03:12,860 --> 02:03:16,860
He gives way to pitch runner Ed Armbruster at first base.

1276
02:03:16,860 --> 02:03:31,860
Jim Marshall coming to the mound, and that's probably going to be all for any Watt.

1277
02:03:31,860 --> 02:03:40,860
Watt gave up a hit to Redmond, a single to Plummer on the hit-and-run ball that just dropped in over the outstretched glove of Don Kessinger.

1278
02:03:40,860 --> 02:03:50,860
Some are through Wiley at third base, allowing Plum to go to second. And now Crowley, a single into left field, getting Redmond home with a fifth Cincinnati run.

1279
02:03:50,860 --> 02:03:54,860
On will be right-hander Oscar Zamora.

1280
02:03:54,860 --> 02:04:02,860
Well, this is kind of a strange... I haven't seen that in a long while. It's the way Hornsby used to take pictures of.

1281
02:04:02,860 --> 02:04:11,860
Marshall hadn't gone to the mound yet, but Eddie Watt standing there and just probably looked down the bullpen and slapped his right arm.

1282
02:04:11,860 --> 02:04:20,860
Zamora comes on. There's going to be two changes. Tim Hoseley, it looks like, is going to go in to catch, and the new pitcher is Zamora.

1283
02:04:20,860 --> 02:04:29,860
But Marshall, he didn't say a word.

1284
02:04:29,860 --> 02:04:36,860
So Oscar Zamora, he has seen other duty in this series. Yesterday, Watt won and then gave up one hit.

1285
02:04:36,860 --> 02:04:44,860
This is second appearance in the series, and as Joe mentioned, Tim Hoseley becomes a new Chicago catcher,

1286
02:04:44,860 --> 02:04:54,860
which means that Hoseley will be hitting in the number nine spot in the Chicago batting order, and pitcher Zamora will be hitting in the number eight position.

1287
02:04:54,860 --> 02:04:58,860
Hoseley will be leading off the seventh inning.

1288
02:04:58,860 --> 02:05:08,860
Five to three, Cincinnati run in here in the sixth inning. Still nobody out with runners at first and third. Zamora making appearance number 20.

1289
02:05:08,860 --> 02:05:18,860
He has a three-and-one record with a two, five, seven earned run average and also six of the 13 saves that Chicago pitching has accumulated.

1290
02:05:18,860 --> 02:05:25,860
In fact, he has six and Darrell Knowles has six, so they've been the tandem out of the Cubs bullpen this season.

1291
02:05:25,860 --> 02:05:32,860
Raleigh Eastwood, still working in the Cincinnati bullpen, will be our pitcher in the top of the seventh.

1292
02:05:32,860 --> 02:05:41,860
Bourbon, two and two-thirds innings, gives up a hit, strikes out a batter, and as we pointed out, he stands to be the winning pitcher in this game.

1293
02:05:41,860 --> 02:05:51,860
Three straight hits. Rentonman, Plummer, and a pitch single by Terry Crowley to score run number five and give the Reds a two-run cushion.

1294
02:05:51,860 --> 02:06:07,860
Pete Rose in the on-deck circle, waiting to hit. He's one for three in the game with a single leading off the fifth inning and scored a run.

1295
02:06:07,860 --> 02:06:19,860
Zamora still taking his warm-ups while Tim Hoseley gets the catching gear on and the Cup dugout. He's coming on now.

1296
02:06:19,860 --> 02:06:28,860
Pete has played on fire, Bob Engel. If we're ready to resume play again, Engel says let him throw a couple down to Hoseley and then we'll get back at it.

1297
02:06:28,860 --> 02:06:35,860
The pitcher and catcher will talk things over. Ken Fraling still throwing for Chicago in their bullpen.

1298
02:06:35,860 --> 02:06:45,860
Fifty thousand three hundred eleven today for a double header that may well turn out to be a Cincinnati sweep, but things continue to go right.

1299
02:06:45,860 --> 02:06:56,860
Not only a sweep of the twin bill, but a sweep of the four-game series against the Chicago team that came in here on top of the heap in the Eastern Division, the National League.

1300
02:06:56,860 --> 02:07:11,860
Okay, Pete is in. Here we go again. First and third not out. Rose takes ball one high from Zamora.

1301
02:07:11,860 --> 02:07:24,860
Eastwick finishing up, comes out of the Cincinnati dugout. Cubs infield in and Rose looks at a strike, one and one.

1302
02:07:24,860 --> 02:07:32,860
Cubs coming back to Cincinnati in August for night games, Monday and Tuesday night, the 11th and 12th.

1303
02:07:32,860 --> 02:07:49,860
We'll mark those dates now. Two balls and a strike to Pete Rose.

1304
02:07:49,860 --> 02:07:57,860
Up next will be Dave Concepcion, arm brister running for Crowley at first, Plummer at third.

1305
02:07:57,860 --> 02:08:11,860
Five free reds, sixth inning. Rose swings and pops it foul and into the seats left side.

1306
02:08:11,860 --> 02:08:25,860
Level of count, two balls, two strikes.

1307
02:08:25,860 --> 02:08:32,860
Zamora looking into Hoseley.

1308
02:08:32,860 --> 02:08:38,860
Rose, arm brister goes, pitch is grounded foul.

1309
02:08:38,860 --> 02:08:58,860
Arm brister getting the go sign at first base. Rose with a foul ball and he comes back and the count remains two balls and two strikes.

1310
02:08:58,860 --> 02:09:08,860
Zamora stretches, arm brister goes again, that is outside, ball three and arm brister in at second base without benefit of a throw.

1311
02:09:08,860 --> 02:09:19,860
He has a stolen base. It's his second of the year.

1312
02:09:19,860 --> 02:09:28,860
So that's the ill hit and we'll score a pair. Rose hits a high fly ball into center field. That's going to be deep enough to get Plummer in.

1313
02:09:28,860 --> 02:09:50,860
He makes a catch, here's a tag, Plummer coming home, arm brister going to third in safely. Six to three.

1314
02:09:50,860 --> 02:10:01,860
Two runs in in the inning and the batter will be Dave Concepcion who doubled the right center in the fifth to tie the game up off of Chicago starter Jeff Zahn.

1315
02:10:01,860 --> 02:10:13,860
And with third base still occupied by Ed Armbrister now, the Cub infield stays in with one man out.

1316
02:10:13,860 --> 02:10:18,860
That run charged to the departed Eddie Watt.

1317
02:10:18,860 --> 02:10:24,860
David takes the curve ball high from the right-hander.

1318
02:10:24,860 --> 02:10:36,860
Dougie Flynn is on deck. He'll be getting his first at bat in the game.

1319
02:10:36,860 --> 02:10:53,860
1-0 pitch, call strike.

1320
02:10:53,860 --> 02:11:04,860
Samora glancing at third base. Swing and a miss by Concepcion and he's behind one and two.

1321
02:11:04,860 --> 02:11:10,860
Three straight hits for one run and a sacrifice fly with another run home.

1322
02:11:10,860 --> 02:11:18,860
He's scored two runs in each of the last two innings and still batting here in the sixth with a chance of getting another one.

1323
02:11:18,860 --> 02:11:26,860
Strike three call. Concepcion can't believe it.

1324
02:11:26,860 --> 02:11:34,860
He finally does and now leaves the plate as Doug Flynn comes up.

1325
02:11:34,860 --> 02:11:39,860
Concepcion stood around so long at the plate I thought I'd miscalculated on the count.

1326
02:11:39,860 --> 02:11:45,860
Looked like he was going to stay around for another pitch.

1327
02:11:45,860 --> 02:11:54,860
I wanted to make sure maybe Mr. Engel would change his position.

1328
02:11:54,860 --> 02:12:05,860
Here's a strike to Flynn. Doug getting 2-44 as one homer and five runs batted in.

1329
02:12:05,860 --> 02:12:08,860
Strike two is there.

1330
02:12:08,860 --> 02:12:12,860
Cub infield back now at normal depth with two men out.

1331
02:12:12,860 --> 02:12:19,860
This young man has really been a very valuable addition to this club. He's played, played well.

1332
02:12:19,860 --> 02:12:26,860
The times in which he has started games, which have been of course very few, he's come up with some big hits for us.

1333
02:12:26,860 --> 02:12:34,860
One and two to count on him.

1334
02:12:34,860 --> 02:12:39,860
Samora trying to get the final out of the inning.

1335
02:12:39,860 --> 02:12:44,860
Arm brister at third. Flynn looks at a call, third strike and that's the inning.

1336
02:12:44,860 --> 02:12:48,860
Four cents an ante, two runs, three hits, one arrow, one left.

1337
02:12:48,860 --> 02:12:57,860
At the sixth hole it's a red six and the Cubs three.

1338
02:12:57,860 --> 02:13:08,860
Spargy Anderson came out of the red dugout after Doug Flynn had been called out on strikes and spent a couple of minutes giving play down player Bob Engel a piece of his mind over I'm sure not only the calls to Flynn but also to Concepcion.

1339
02:13:08,860 --> 02:13:12,860
That little conversation is now broken up.

1340
02:13:12,860 --> 02:13:15,860
We've got a new pitcher on the mound as the Cubs come to bat in the seventh inning.

1341
02:13:15,860 --> 02:13:18,860
Back to tell you about him and call the action again Joe Nutsol.

1342
02:13:18,860 --> 02:13:24,860
Hi Marty, it's Raleigh Eastwick making his sixth appearance in four RBI's.

1343
02:13:24,860 --> 02:13:30,860
Hoseley, Sparing and Summers do up for the Cubs in the seventh.

1344
02:13:30,860 --> 02:13:38,860
Reds leading at six to three.

1345
02:13:38,860 --> 02:13:43,860
Eastwick delivers the pass ball, misses inside.

1346
02:13:43,860 --> 02:13:50,860
Pedro Borbon worked two and two-thirds innings allowing one hit and striking out one.

1347
02:13:50,860 --> 02:13:53,860
Stands now, Pedro would be the winner.

1348
02:13:53,860 --> 02:13:58,860
Strike in at the knees from Eastwick to Hoseley, one and one to count.

1349
02:13:58,860 --> 02:14:04,860
Reds have out hit the Cubs ten to six.

1350
02:14:04,860 --> 02:14:09,860
Eastwick delivers, Hoseley swings, ground ball by Rose in the left field, base hit.

1351
02:14:09,860 --> 02:14:21,860
Ben Chappell the ball returns to the infield and that is hit number seven for Chicago, the first off Raleigh Eastwick.

1352
02:14:21,860 --> 02:14:28,860
That brings Rob Sparing to the plate, boy I tell you this guy has to wonder what you have to do to get a base hit.

1353
02:14:28,860 --> 02:14:34,860
He tried Rose twice with line drives, decided well, no luck there.

1354
02:14:34,860 --> 02:14:41,860
They took a shot at Merv Rutman this last time up and Merv made an outstanding defensive play to retire.

1355
02:14:41,860 --> 02:14:55,860
First pitch is high and inside, Sparing leans away, one and oh.

1356
02:14:55,860 --> 02:15:06,860
Eastwick delivers, that's swung on and popped in his shell and going out is Flynn, dug back, pedaling, Hasrel makes the cut.

1357
02:15:06,860 --> 02:15:11,860
Flynn at second base.

1358
02:15:11,860 --> 02:15:20,860
Here's Champ Summers, 0 for 3, he's twice hit fly balls to center and is grounded to second.

1359
02:15:20,860 --> 02:15:30,860
Joe Morgan taken out of the lineup in the sixth inning, Joe hit in the back in the left shoulder by a throw from Andy Thornton.

1360
02:15:30,860 --> 02:15:36,860
And boy I tell you, if it hits you in the right spot there, it gets quite sore.

1361
02:15:36,860 --> 02:15:46,860
Pitch to Champ Summers gets the inside or outside corner called strike.

1362
02:15:46,860 --> 02:15:56,860
Blake Carroll on the Cincinnati bullpen throwing, the 0-1, just under the knees, count evens one and one.

1363
02:15:56,860 --> 02:16:05,860
Now they're still at it in New York, Braves and the Mets tied 6-6, 13th inning.

1364
02:16:05,860 --> 02:16:10,860
1-1, Summers swings and chops it foul with the plate.

1365
02:16:10,860 --> 02:16:14,860
Raleigh out in front, a ball, two strikes this summer.

1366
02:16:14,860 --> 02:16:18,860
Tim Hoseley at first base was won away.

1367
02:16:18,860 --> 02:16:26,860
Tony Perez plays a couple of steps behind Hoseley.

1368
02:16:26,860 --> 02:16:30,860
Eastwick looking in to plumber the stretch.

1369
02:16:30,860 --> 02:16:35,860
A 1-2 pitch, high and outside, count evens 2-2.

1370
02:16:35,860 --> 02:16:40,860
The Reds jumped in front, 2-0, a run in the second, a run in the third.

1371
02:16:40,860 --> 02:16:44,860
The Cubs came back with 3 in the fourth to take a one-run lead.

1372
02:16:44,860 --> 02:16:49,860
The Reds right back with 2 in the fifth, 2 in the sixth, and they lead it 6-3.

1373
02:16:49,860 --> 02:16:57,860
Now the 2-2 pitch, swung on and that's bounced foul off to the right.

1374
02:16:57,860 --> 02:17:08,860
I'm holding it, two balls, two strikes.

1375
02:17:08,860 --> 02:17:14,860
Now the Pirates trying to hang on to split the doubleheader with the Giants.

1376
02:17:14,860 --> 02:17:18,860
2-2 again, that swung on again, bounced foul.

1377
02:17:18,860 --> 02:17:24,860
Pirates leading the Giants 2-1 in the ninth inning.

1378
02:17:24,860 --> 02:17:33,860
Giants winning the first game 3-1.

1379
02:17:33,860 --> 02:17:36,860
Two balls, two strikes to count.

1380
02:17:36,860 --> 02:17:39,860
Bill Madlock on deck.

1381
02:17:39,860 --> 02:17:41,860
He's had a hot bet.

1382
02:17:41,860 --> 02:17:43,860
There's a swing, ground ball, Pirates has it.

1383
02:17:43,860 --> 02:17:47,860
He goes to Concepcion one throw back the first, not in time.

1384
02:17:47,860 --> 02:17:54,860
And they get the 4th of Hoseley at second base to play going 3-6.

1385
02:17:54,860 --> 02:17:59,860
Two away now and stepping in is Bill Madlock.

1386
02:17:59,860 --> 02:18:06,860
Madlock is 2-3 in the first game, he had three hits and four times in the plate,

1387
02:18:06,860 --> 02:18:11,860
so he's had five hits so far in the doubleheader.

1388
02:18:11,860 --> 02:18:13,860
His last time up we got him out though.

1389
02:18:13,860 --> 02:18:18,860
He grounded to Morgan at second base in the fifth inning.

1390
02:18:18,860 --> 02:18:22,860
The off field playing Madlock straight away.

1391
02:18:22,860 --> 02:18:24,860
Eastwick sets and delivers.

1392
02:18:24,860 --> 02:18:27,860
Madlock takes just low a ball.

1393
02:18:27,860 --> 02:18:35,860
Right now the sun is shining through the upper deck and right on home plate.

1394
02:18:35,860 --> 02:18:38,860
As John pointed out yesterday in the start of the game,

1395
02:18:38,860 --> 02:18:43,860
here's the pitch, flung on and pulled foul off the third baseline.

1396
02:18:43,860 --> 02:18:50,860
It's not even one-on-one that the backdrop out in the center field in the seats

1397
02:18:50,860 --> 02:18:58,860
I guess caused more problems than maybe the shadows.

1398
02:18:58,860 --> 02:19:00,860
One-on-one to count.

1399
02:19:00,860 --> 02:19:06,860
Eastwick delivers and Madlock looks at it, it's low, two-on-one.

1400
02:19:06,860 --> 02:19:10,860
Dreads with ten hits, the Cubs with seven.

1401
02:19:10,860 --> 02:19:15,860
One error in the ball game and that belongs to Champ Summers.

1402
02:19:15,860 --> 02:19:20,860
The Cubs, two-one delivery, low and outside.

1403
02:19:20,860 --> 02:19:26,860
Free ball to strike now to Madlock.

1404
02:19:26,860 --> 02:19:32,860
Waiting on deck is Rick Mundy.

1405
02:19:32,860 --> 02:19:36,860
There are two outs.

1406
02:19:36,860 --> 02:19:38,860
Eastwick's three-one pitch.

1407
02:19:38,860 --> 02:19:46,860
Madlock swings and misses a high fast ball, full count.

1408
02:19:46,860 --> 02:19:54,860
Summers at first base will be on the move with the pitch with the count falling two away.

1409
02:19:54,860 --> 02:19:56,860
Well, there's some all-star ballots flying around.

1410
02:19:56,860 --> 02:20:00,860
Here's the three-two, flung on and bounced to Perez at first.

1411
02:20:00,860 --> 02:20:04,860
He weighs Eastwick away, goes to the back and retires.

1412
02:20:04,860 --> 02:20:06,860
The Cubs here in the seventh, no runs.

1413
02:20:06,860 --> 02:20:08,860
They're going to hit them.

1414
02:20:08,860 --> 02:20:13,860
One runner left on base in the middle of the seventh, the Reds sixth, the Cubs three.

1415
02:20:13,860 --> 02:20:18,860
People I see every day stop me on the street and say,

1416
02:20:18,860 --> 02:20:21,860
You're looking good, girl.

1417
02:20:21,860 --> 02:20:24,860
Who put the sunshine in your world?

1418
02:20:24,860 --> 02:20:30,860
So I tell them about your laughter, life knows my value to be.

1419
02:20:30,860 --> 02:20:35,860
And the feeling of contentment that I know.

1420
02:20:35,860 --> 02:20:41,860
The way you make me feel I'm content, I'm a peaceful nut at home.

1421
02:20:41,860 --> 02:20:47,860
While we're sharing loving parts over the great taste of straw.

1422
02:20:47,860 --> 02:20:52,860
You make me know that I'm a looking good.

1423
02:20:52,860 --> 02:20:58,860
You can't have a thing like the taste of straw's beans.

1424
02:20:58,860 --> 02:21:03,860
Grewed with family pride for two hundred years.

1425
02:21:03,860 --> 02:21:08,860
One thing I like to watch for that straw's being looking good.

1426
02:21:08,860 --> 02:21:12,860
That was Kelly Garrett for the Stroker Recoverty, Detroit, Michigan.

1427
02:21:12,860 --> 02:21:18,860
Family Brewers for two hundred years.

1428
02:21:18,860 --> 02:21:23,860
Before the Reds come up to play in the bottom half of the inning,

1429
02:21:23,860 --> 02:21:25,860
we'll pause for station identification.

1430
02:21:25,860 --> 02:21:28,860
This is the Cincinnati Reds baseball network.

1431
02:21:28,860 --> 02:21:32,860
The home of the $5,000 button, WLW Cincinnati.

1432
02:21:32,860 --> 02:21:36,860
The Cincinnati Reds 580 Gifts Shop and News Stand is open before every Reds home game.

1433
02:21:36,860 --> 02:21:38,860
Stop by on your next trip to the stadium.

1434
02:21:38,860 --> 02:21:42,860
580 Gifts and News, 6th and Walnut, downtown.

1435
02:21:42,860 --> 02:21:45,860
Johnny Bench deleted off for the Reds in the seventh.

1436
02:21:45,860 --> 02:21:49,860
John is one for three in an RBI.

1437
02:21:49,860 --> 02:21:57,860
John singled in the fifth inning when the Reds scored a couple of runs to go back in front.

1438
02:21:57,860 --> 02:22:06,860
Moore's first pitch is blowing outside the ball.

1439
02:22:06,860 --> 02:22:09,860
Oscar into the wind and the 1-0 delivery.

1440
02:22:09,860 --> 02:22:13,860
Swung on, shot by the charge top into left center field over is Mundy.

1441
02:22:13,860 --> 02:22:18,860
Gets by him and on his way to second his bench and he'll hold right there.

1442
02:22:18,860 --> 02:22:20,860
And we'll wait and see.

1443
02:22:20,860 --> 02:22:25,860
Mundy went a long way after the ball and we'll see if they give him a double.

1444
02:22:25,860 --> 02:22:33,860
Apparently, we'll have to wait.

1445
02:22:33,860 --> 02:22:39,860
And they're going to give Johnny Bench a double and for John that is his 17th double of the year.

1446
02:22:39,860 --> 02:22:46,860
John's second hit of the game.

1447
02:22:46,860 --> 02:22:49,860
Bench shot, second base leading off here in the seventh.

1448
02:22:49,860 --> 02:22:51,860
Tony Perez at the plate.

1449
02:22:51,860 --> 02:22:57,860
Tony is two for three in an RBI.

1450
02:22:57,860 --> 02:23:04,860
Bench and Johnny Grob now tied for the league lead in doubles with 17.

1451
02:23:04,860 --> 02:23:07,860
John leads the National League in home runs.

1452
02:23:07,860 --> 02:23:16,860
RBI's tied for doubles.

1453
02:23:16,860 --> 02:23:21,860
Bench at second lead, Zamora sets and delivers to Perez.

1454
02:23:21,860 --> 02:23:24,860
That's swung on and that could be number eight.

1455
02:23:24,860 --> 02:23:29,860
Going back and there she goes.

1456
02:23:29,860 --> 02:23:36,860
Tony Perez re-wrapped that one and no doubt about it, Zamora very upset with himself,

1457
02:23:36,860 --> 02:23:49,860
but a big one for Tony and we now lead it by a score of eight to three.

1458
02:23:49,860 --> 02:24:01,860
Tony Perez is eight home run of the year and those two RBIs gave him three for the game and a total of 34.

1459
02:24:01,860 --> 02:24:04,860
Tony really enjoyed that one.

1460
02:24:04,860 --> 02:24:12,860
Second hit off Zamora and both runs of course charged to Oscar and he put a mark.

1461
02:24:12,860 --> 02:24:15,860
All right, here's George Foster.

1462
02:24:15,860 --> 02:24:19,860
George, 0 for 2 in a walk, swings and misses.

1463
02:24:19,860 --> 02:24:25,860
Slider, 0 and 1.

1464
02:24:25,860 --> 02:24:28,860
The Reds leading it now eight to three.

1465
02:24:28,860 --> 02:24:36,860
Twelve hits for the Reds, Zamora works, Foster swings and pops it foul back at us.

1466
02:24:36,860 --> 02:24:42,860
And if we hear a cheer we know it's a cod, if we don't there's a scramble.

1467
02:24:42,860 --> 02:24:47,860
Apparently there's a scramble.

1468
02:24:47,860 --> 02:24:57,860
Zamora out in front, 0 and 2 to George Foster.

1469
02:24:57,860 --> 02:25:03,860
The 0-2 delivery, just missing low and offside, 1 and 2.

1470
02:25:03,860 --> 02:25:13,860
Seisai Geronimo loosening up in the Reds bullpen and he'll undoubtedly go to center field.

1471
02:25:13,860 --> 02:25:22,860
Foster takes low, count evens two balls, two strikes.

1472
02:25:22,860 --> 02:25:27,860
Freddie Dorman and Jerry Royce to Mara Knight here at Riverfront, two-two pitch,

1473
02:25:27,860 --> 02:25:31,860
long line bounced up the middle off the glove of Zamora, sparing up with it.

1474
02:25:31,860 --> 02:25:35,860
Quick throw and they got it.

1475
02:25:35,860 --> 02:25:42,860
Zamora just getting the tip of his glove on it and deflecting it just a bit towards sparing and shortstop.

1476
02:25:42,860 --> 02:25:47,860
Rob up with it and got the throw away in a hurry for the first out.

1477
02:25:47,860 --> 02:25:56,860
During the play goes 1-6-3 on Foster, one away, and Merv Redmond to the plate.

1478
02:25:56,860 --> 02:26:01,860
Redmond one for three, hit the ball hard each time up.

1479
02:26:01,860 --> 02:26:12,860
First pitch to him is down low ball.

1480
02:26:12,860 --> 02:26:18,860
Zamora, this is his 20th appearance of the year. Redmond swings, hits one deep to left field.

1481
02:26:18,860 --> 02:26:25,860
Going back to Summers, reaches up, makes the one-handed catch right in front of the 275 marker.

1482
02:26:25,860 --> 02:26:34,860
And I tell you, Merv Redmond has been tapping that ball hard.

1483
02:26:34,860 --> 02:26:37,860
Two away now and that'll bring Bill Plummer to the plate.

1484
02:26:37,860 --> 02:26:43,860
Bill is two for three in an RBI. In the last time up in the sixth inning,

1485
02:26:43,860 --> 02:26:53,860
had a hit-and-run single, a little looper over sparing into left field with Redmond at first base.

1486
02:26:53,860 --> 02:27:00,860
Two outs, the base is empty. Zamora delivers and Plum looks at it outside of all.

1487
02:27:00,860 --> 02:27:08,860
Raleigh Eastlick on deck. Eight to three, Reds lead.

1488
02:27:08,860 --> 02:27:16,860
The 1-0, Plum swings on it, doesn't get it, one and one.

1489
02:27:16,860 --> 02:27:23,860
The Reds win this one, it'll be the second double header that we've swept this year.

1490
02:27:23,860 --> 02:27:30,860
Give us 34 wins and 22 losses. Plum swings and fouls one right over our head.

1491
02:27:30,860 --> 02:27:39,860
And down it goes.

1492
02:27:39,860 --> 02:27:43,860
One and two to count.

1493
02:27:43,860 --> 02:27:58,860
Zamora works, Plummer takes, low on outside, down evens two-two.

1494
02:27:58,860 --> 02:28:04,860
A wind, the two-two to Plummer. Swung on and hit the left field and Summers is there backpedaling

1495
02:28:04,860 --> 02:28:08,860
and about a step from the warning track falls it in.

1496
02:28:08,860 --> 02:28:15,860
And in the inning for the Reds, they get two runs on two heads. A big one, a two-run homer by Tony Perez.

1497
02:28:15,860 --> 02:28:22,860
No errors, no one left on base. And after seven, the Reds eight, the Cubs three.

1498
02:28:22,860 --> 02:28:30,860
Stop and enjoy a big, big boy, a cop with a camera that treats the national favorite coast to coast.

1499
02:28:30,860 --> 02:28:32,860
Stop and enjoy a big, big boy.

1500
02:28:32,860 --> 02:28:38,860
Watching the Reds win at Riverfront Stadium has always been a great way to spend the day.

1501
02:28:38,860 --> 02:28:43,860
And one sure way to add to that enjoyment is going to Frisch's before or after the game.

1502
02:28:43,860 --> 02:28:46,860
It's all part of the tradition. Why Frisch's?

1503
02:28:46,860 --> 02:28:53,860
Because not only does Frisch's offer a wide variety of great tasting treats from sandwiches to full course dinners,

1504
02:28:53,860 --> 02:28:56,860
they also have the convenience of curb service.

1505
02:28:56,860 --> 02:29:00,860
When you drive into Frisch's, there's never any waiting for curb service.

1506
02:29:00,860 --> 02:29:04,860
Simply press the button on the speaker and your order is taken immediately.

1507
02:29:04,860 --> 02:29:10,860
Fast, easy, and convenient. That's the best way to describe Frisch's curb service.

1508
02:29:10,860 --> 02:29:13,860
So the next time you're on your way to the game, curb your appetite.

1509
02:29:13,860 --> 02:29:16,860
Visit your nearest Frisch's drive-in restaurant.

1510
02:29:16,860 --> 02:29:23,860
Stop and enjoy a big, big boy, a cop with a camera that treats the national favorite coast to coast.

1511
02:29:23,860 --> 02:29:26,860
No, stop and enjoy a big, big boy.

1512
02:29:26,860 --> 02:29:32,860
Now the seven-inning totals look like this.

1513
02:29:32,860 --> 02:29:40,860
The Reds have had eight runs on 12-inch, and the Cubs have had three runs on seven-ins.

1514
02:29:40,860 --> 02:29:45,860
Rick Mundy will lead it off in the eighth, and back for the action, Marty Brenneman.

1515
02:29:45,860 --> 02:29:53,860
Rick Mundy, 0-3 in the game, his last time up here to line drive to Foster in center field back in the fifth inning.

1516
02:29:53,860 --> 02:29:59,860
Raleigh Eastwick, the third pitcher to work in this game for the Reds, with Clay Kirby the starting pitcher.

1517
02:29:59,860 --> 02:30:04,860
Going three-and-a-third, Pedro Borbon working two-and-two-thirds innings of one-hit shutout baseball,

1518
02:30:04,860 --> 02:30:11,860
and it is Pied who stands to get the win if his five-run Reds lead stands up over the next inning and a half.

1519
02:30:11,860 --> 02:30:18,860
Mundy to be followed by Andy Thornton and Jerry Morales.

1520
02:30:18,860 --> 02:30:25,860
Eastwick giving up a base hit to catcher Tim Hoseley starting off the seventh inning, but nothing after that.

1521
02:30:25,860 --> 02:30:27,860
Now we've got a change in center field.

1522
02:30:27,860 --> 02:30:33,860
Cesar Geronimo has come in defensively, replacing George Foster.

1523
02:30:33,860 --> 02:30:37,860
Tall, lanky Raleigh Eastwick working to Mundy, and he grounds him to the right side.

1524
02:30:37,860 --> 02:30:41,860
There's Flynn, and there's Perez, one away.

1525
02:30:41,860 --> 02:30:46,860
Thornton is one for two with a walk.

1526
02:30:46,860 --> 02:30:54,860
He doubled back in the sixth inning, walked and scored a run in the fourth, and popped out to shortstop in the second.

1527
02:30:54,860 --> 02:31:11,860
Eastwick working, and it's taken low and inside, ball one.

1528
02:31:11,860 --> 02:31:15,860
A big, big day for Cincinnati up to this point.

1529
02:31:15,860 --> 02:31:17,860
Question about that.

1530
02:31:17,860 --> 02:31:30,860
Call strike at the knees, one and one.

1531
02:31:30,860 --> 02:31:36,860
Now it feels straight away for Andy Thornton who hit the ball very well in the sixth inning.

1532
02:31:36,860 --> 02:31:40,860
Eastwick keeping it down to him, and it's two balls and one strike.

1533
02:31:40,860 --> 02:31:49,860
Meanwhile, at Shea Stadium, the Mets are batting in the bottom of the 14th inning, tied with the Atlanta Braves at six apiece.

1534
02:31:49,860 --> 02:32:02,860
All three, three and one.

1535
02:32:02,860 --> 02:32:07,860
Thornton out of the batter's box.

1536
02:32:07,860 --> 02:32:10,860
Now Eastwick checks in with Plummer. Here's a 3-1 delivery.

1537
02:32:10,860 --> 02:32:26,860
That swung on and missed. Got the pitch up to him, and Thornton had the home run cut, but he did not get it.

1538
02:32:26,860 --> 02:32:29,860
That's ball four low.

1539
02:32:29,860 --> 02:32:33,860
Andy Thornton becomes the second man to reach on right-hander Eastwick.

1540
02:32:33,860 --> 02:32:38,860
One down in the inning with first base occupied and Jerry Morales coming in.

1541
02:32:38,860 --> 02:32:49,860
Fly it out, double a run in, and popped out to third base.

1542
02:32:49,860 --> 02:32:56,860
Third walk given up by Reds pitching in this game. Kirby gave up two for bone none.

1543
02:32:56,860 --> 02:33:11,860
Call strike one. Fast ball.

1544
02:33:11,860 --> 02:33:16,860
One ball a strike. Plummer digging it out.

1545
02:33:16,860 --> 02:33:24,860
Second game of the San Diego-Montreal doubleheader. It's the Padres trailing the Expos by a score of 3-1 after five and a half.

1546
02:33:24,860 --> 02:33:29,860
San Francisco three runs in the ninth inning to take a 4-2 lead over Pittsburgh.

1547
02:33:29,860 --> 02:33:32,860
Now the Giants are bidding to pick a pair.

1548
02:33:32,860 --> 02:33:38,860
Here's a shot back into left field. Going back is Betts. Looking up, it is out of here a home run.

1549
02:33:38,860 --> 02:33:50,860
Jerry Morales with a two-run home run to left field to draw the Cubs to within three runs. It's now 8-5.

1550
02:33:50,860 --> 02:33:55,860
That's for Jerry Morales' second home run of the year.

1551
02:33:55,860 --> 02:34:13,860
He has three RBIs in this game and the Cubs are down by three as they reach Raleigh Eastwick for the two-run homer.

1552
02:34:13,860 --> 02:34:28,860
Here's Manny Trio as Clay Carroll goes down to start throwing. Ball one.

1553
02:34:28,860 --> 02:34:37,860
Ball strike in the outside corner. A ball one strike to Trio who has had a hit, an RBI and three times up.

1554
02:34:37,860 --> 02:34:44,860
Last time at that soft line drive between first and second, Perez made a fine play on it.

1555
02:34:44,860 --> 02:34:52,860
Call strike two. Cubs have had eight hits. The Reds have had 12.

1556
02:34:52,860 --> 02:34:58,860
They lead by three with one out and two runs in. Bases empty in the Chicago eight.

1557
02:34:58,860 --> 02:35:04,860
There's a pop on the left side. Rose calling for it. Concepcion coming over by him and calling Pete off the ball.

1558
02:35:04,860 --> 02:35:12,860
David makes the catch. Two away.

1559
02:35:12,860 --> 02:35:31,860
Pitcher's scheduled a hit, but Pete Lecock will be the Chicago pinch hitter.

1560
02:35:31,860 --> 02:35:38,860
Lecock who started in the first game in right field, one 0 for four has had one hit and six times up in this series.

1561
02:35:38,860 --> 02:35:41,860
A pitch single yesterday's game.

1562
02:35:41,860 --> 02:36:04,860
Left handed batting outfielder, first baseman hitting two 38. Cubs with two runs.

1563
02:36:04,860 --> 02:36:12,860
Cubs with two runs into the eighth on a walk to Thornton and a home run to left field by Morales.

1564
02:36:12,860 --> 02:36:26,860
Lecock looks at a fast ball away.

1565
02:36:26,860 --> 02:36:34,860
Ground ball over the man. Oh, spared by Eastwick. Nice play and throwing on to Tony to retire Pete Lecock.

1566
02:36:34,860 --> 02:36:41,860
In the inning, two runs ahead. Nobody left. And in the middle of the eighth inning, it's the Reds eighth, the Chicago Cubs five.

1567
02:36:41,860 --> 02:36:50,860
If you think Howdy, partner and bonus Diaz sound like pretty friendly ways to greet a Red Rooter from Cincinnati, the Strobe Brewery has some friendly news for you.

1568
02:36:50,860 --> 02:36:56,860
On Saturday, June 21st, the Reds Rooters Club is off for Houston, Mexico City and Acapulco.

1569
02:36:56,860 --> 02:37:04,860
The point being to watch the Reds whip the Astros for two days in a row down in Houston and then to join in a Mexican fiesta later in the week.

1570
02:37:04,860 --> 02:37:12,860
On Saturday night and Sunday, the Reds versus the Astros and of course a fine Stroves hospitality party at your hotel in Houston.

1571
02:37:12,860 --> 02:37:18,860
Then on Monday, June 23rd, everybody flies down to Mexico City for some really great sightseeing.

1572
02:37:18,860 --> 02:37:25,860
Friday, June 27th, you'll find yourself in Acapulco for fun in the sun, including a yacht cruise of Acapulco Bay.

1573
02:37:25,860 --> 02:37:30,860
On Sunday, June 29th, you'll jetpack to Cincinnati for complete information and reservations.

1574
02:37:30,860 --> 02:37:44,860
Call the Barney Rapp Agency at area code 513-381-7277. Once again, 381-7277. Just shout, Ole or better yet, Stroves.

1575
02:37:44,860 --> 02:37:52,860
Cincinnati Reds will be teaming up with Bob Braun for a big special at Riverfront Stadium.

1576
02:37:52,860 --> 02:37:59,860
The date is Tuesday, June 17th. There'll be a clinic in Riverfront at 11 o'clock in the morning and the Bob Braun show will follow.

1577
02:37:59,860 --> 02:38:02,860
No charge for admission, but you must have a ticket.

1578
02:38:02,860 --> 02:38:10,860
Send a stamp, self-addressed envelope with your ticket request to Reds Bob Braun Day, Fox 5050, Cincinnati.

1579
02:38:10,860 --> 02:38:39,860
Left-hander Ken Frayling is the new Chicago pitcher as the Reds come to bat for hopefully the last time today.

1580
02:38:39,860 --> 02:38:43,860
We're leading 8-5 in the bottom of the eighth.

1581
02:38:43,860 --> 02:38:47,860
And pitcher Raleigh Eastwick is standing in to get the inning underway.

1582
02:38:47,860 --> 02:38:58,860
Frayling delivers and Eastwick takes strike one.

1583
02:38:58,860 --> 02:39:02,860
Frayling, the fourth pitcher, Zahn, Watt, Zamora.

1584
02:39:02,860 --> 02:39:16,860
Strike two on a swing and a miss. No balls and two strikes.

1585
02:39:16,860 --> 02:39:22,860
Hoseley sets a target on the outside part of the plate. The pitch comes that way but misses.

1586
02:39:22,860 --> 02:39:30,860
One ball, two strikes. This pitcher faces pitcher in the bottom of the eighth inning.

1587
02:39:30,860 --> 02:39:35,860
And there's a swing and a miss. Strike three. Ball pops out of Hoseley's mid.

1588
02:39:35,860 --> 02:39:41,860
Or is it a strike swing? Yes it is. Throw on down to first base.

1589
02:39:41,860 --> 02:39:46,860
So Eastwick a strike out and now Pete Rose will be at the plate.

1590
02:39:46,860 --> 02:40:10,860
It is one for three with a sacrifice fly coming in to sixth inning.

1591
02:40:10,860 --> 02:40:25,860
This defeat is taken on the outside edge for strike one.

1592
02:40:25,860 --> 02:40:43,860
Missing away one and one.

1593
02:40:43,860 --> 02:40:49,860
Two balls and one strike on Pete Rose.

1594
02:40:49,860 --> 02:40:51,860
Reds only three outs away.

1595
02:40:51,860 --> 02:41:00,860
Top of the ninth inning from sweeping the double header and taking four straight from Chicago to move a game and a half out in front of the Dodgers in the Western Division.

1596
02:41:00,860 --> 02:41:13,860
There's a strike joint, two and two.

1597
02:41:13,860 --> 02:41:26,860
Davey Concepcion waiting on deck. Frailing, Rose swung on fly ball right field and out of play.

1598
02:41:26,860 --> 02:41:35,860
Hoseley a former product of the Detroit Tiger organization, most recently with the Oakland A's, is ready to get the ninth inning started.

1599
02:41:35,860 --> 02:41:42,860
Eight to five to score. Eastwick trying to nail it down. A third win of the year for Pedro Borbón if he can subdue him here in the ninth.

1600
02:41:42,860 --> 02:41:57,860
He winds, delivers and Hoseley takes ball one away.

1601
02:41:57,860 --> 02:42:04,860
One-oh pitch taken outside a ball, two and nothing.

1602
02:42:04,860 --> 02:42:13,860
Actually both of these games have been come from behind efforts for Cincinnati. We trail one-nothing in the first game before Benches-Homer in the seventh inning.

1603
02:42:13,860 --> 02:42:22,860
And we were behind at one point in this one. There is ball three outside.

1604
02:42:22,860 --> 02:42:25,860
Of course it's not over yet.

1605
02:42:25,860 --> 02:42:31,860
Eastwick has yet to throw a strike.

1606
02:42:31,860 --> 02:42:37,860
Three balls and nothing on right-handed batting Tim Hoseley.

1607
02:42:37,860 --> 02:42:47,860
Robb sparing on deck. There is a call strike.

1608
02:42:47,860 --> 02:43:04,860
This would be the second doubleheader win of the year for Cincinnati and the fourth twin bill we played. Ball four low.

1609
02:43:04,860 --> 02:43:25,860
Eastwick walks his second batter in two plus innings of pitching. He'll face Sparing. At least he's a schedule hitter but he's been called back and it looks like Cardinal is going to be the Chicago pinch hitter.

1610
02:43:25,860 --> 02:43:37,860
Cardinal playing the first game. Started out the day batting three twenty-six with five homers and twenty-six RBIs that wore a size four collar in game number one.

1611
02:43:37,860 --> 02:43:49,860
So his average standing at three twenty as he comes up in a pinch hit role against Eastwick.

1612
02:43:49,860 --> 02:44:03,860
I tell you the Cubs threw quite a scare into us in the first game. They loaded the bases in the ninth inning down by a run but Gary Nolan got Kessinger in a line out the center field to win that one.

1613
02:44:03,860 --> 02:44:14,860
Cardinal taking a lot of time before stepping in. He talks momentarily with a plate umpire Bob Engel.

1614
02:44:14,860 --> 02:44:31,860
He's down at first. Lead off walk. Cardinal bangs a bat on the plate. He's ready and so is Raleigh. Swung on ground ball. Fair ball at third. Throw on to second. They got the force out.

1615
02:44:31,860 --> 02:44:37,860
Tim Hoseley who came in pretty hard on Doug Flynn and credit the rook with hanging right in there.

1616
02:44:37,860 --> 02:44:46,860
We'll pause for station identification on the Reds baseball network. The home of the five thousand dollar button WLW Cincinnati.

1617
02:44:46,860 --> 02:44:59,860
Purchase your Cincinnati Reds tickets downtown at 580 Walnut and at the stadium at Burkharts in Kenwood, Crye County, Beechmont, Hyde Park and Northgate and at home federal savings in Western Hills.

1618
02:44:59,860 --> 02:45:12,860
Dargie Anderson has come out of the Reds dugout and he signals that he wants another pitcher to come in and try and finish this one off. It'll be left hander Will McAnany.

1619
02:45:12,860 --> 02:45:20,860
Raleigh Eastwood goes two and one third innings. He allows the Cubs a couple of hits, two runs.

1620
02:45:20,860 --> 02:45:31,860
No strikeouts and two walks and it'll be McAnany and we talk about the work this young man has given us every time he comes in.

1621
02:45:31,860 --> 02:45:41,860
Worked twenty one and two thirds consecutive innings without allowing a run. That's dating back to the 20th of April. The string covers fifteen appearances.

1622
02:45:41,860 --> 02:45:51,860
McAnany with the lowest earned run average on the club of 104. A 1-0 record and this is 21st appearance.

1623
02:45:51,860 --> 02:46:03,860
Corbone with an appearance earlier in the game now leads the pitching staff with 22. Clay Carroll has 21 and now McAnany in has his 21st.

1624
02:46:03,860 --> 02:46:11,860
Champ Summers scheduled a hit but Ron Dunn is swinging two bats in the on deck circle so apparently he will be a pinch hitter.

1625
02:46:11,860 --> 02:46:17,860
Dunn a right handed batter as opposed to the left handed swinging Summers.

1626
02:46:17,860 --> 02:46:25,860
Brad's out in front eight to five. During the specially big second game for one Tony Perez.

1627
02:46:25,860 --> 02:46:33,860
Marked his return to the Reds lineup for the first time in almost two weeks in game one. One hitless but during the second game he is single twice.

1628
02:46:33,860 --> 02:46:41,860
Holmered and four times up to knock in three runs.

1629
02:46:41,860 --> 02:46:57,860
McAnany indicates that he is ready to work and it's going to be Ron Dunn coming on to pinch hit.

1630
02:46:57,860 --> 02:47:12,860
Young Dunn batting 231 as one Holmer and four runs batted in for this 1975 Cub edition.

1631
02:47:12,860 --> 02:47:26,860
McAnany checking Cardinal at first base. The pitch to Dunn of all outside.

1632
02:47:26,860 --> 02:47:32,860
Well everything else now over.

1633
02:47:32,860 --> 02:47:46,860
Except San Diego Montreal they're still underway besides ours here two balls and no strikes.

1634
02:47:46,860 --> 02:47:56,860
Clay Carroll still throwing. There's a strike to him two and one.

1635
02:47:56,860 --> 02:48:01,860
Don't forget to stay tuned immediately following our game broadcast on most of these same stations.

1636
02:48:01,860 --> 02:48:07,860
Joe Nuxall the star of the game show and I'll be back to recap all the scores of all the games on scores and comments.

1637
02:48:07,860 --> 02:48:13,860
Fly ball left field hit well bench backing he reaches up and makes the cut.

1638
02:48:13,860 --> 02:48:18,860
Well not the most artistic endeavor in the world but he made the play on it.

1639
02:48:18,860 --> 02:48:22,860
That ball was hooking on John as it left the infield.

1640
02:48:22,860 --> 02:48:27,860
He went back reached up and there it was two away.

1641
02:48:27,860 --> 02:48:36,860
Tummies coming down to their final out and the batter will be third baseman Bill Madlock as he vids to keep the ninth inning going.

1642
02:48:36,860 --> 02:48:44,860
And like two for four.

1643
02:48:44,860 --> 02:48:50,860
McAnany working Madlock gets a shot Pete has it at third and this one belongs to the red.

1644
02:48:50,860 --> 02:48:57,860
Here in the ninth inning for the Chicago Cubs who have just been swept four straight by the Cincinnati Reds.

1645
02:48:57,860 --> 02:49:01,860
No runs no hits a man left down your final score in game number two.

1646
02:49:01,860 --> 02:49:12,860
The Reds eight the Cubs five stay tuned we'll be back in just a moment.

1647
02:49:12,860 --> 02:49:17,860
The folks at the Strow Brewery want to remind you that it's throw a party time.

1648
02:49:17,860 --> 02:49:21,860
They also want to give you a free recipe on how to throw a party.

1649
02:49:21,860 --> 02:49:29,860
So here goes first get yourself some good music like this.

1650
02:49:29,860 --> 02:49:33,860
Add some good friends and neighbors.

1651
02:49:33,860 --> 02:49:41,860
Spread around some good snacks like potato chips pretzels things your friends like or be different and surprise them with something new and good.

1652
02:49:41,860 --> 02:49:46,860
Then top everything off with plenty of good cold straws beer.

1653
02:49:46,860 --> 02:49:47,860
That's the important part.

1654
02:49:47,860 --> 02:49:52,860
Blend it all together then you've got yourself one great party.

1655
02:49:52,860 --> 02:50:00,860
Keep this in mind the next time you're out shopping and look for the Strow party display featuring our state called 12 pack wherever you buy beer.

1656
02:50:00,860 --> 02:50:07,860
And we'll see you at the party.

1657
02:50:07,860 --> 02:50:14,860
So.

1658
02:50:14,860 --> 02:50:27,860
Monday afternoon doubleheader before a capacity house of fifty thousand three hundred and eleven that's seen the Reds take a pair from the Chicago Cubs two to one in the first game on Johnny Bench's 13th homer of the year in the seventh with a man on base.

1659
02:50:27,860 --> 02:50:40,860
And here in the second another come from behind win for the Reds eight to five the final score as Pedro Borbon working in relief of play Kirby the second of four pitchers as it turned out in this game for our Reds becomes a winner.

1660
02:50:40,860 --> 02:50:48,860
The Reds go to the second place three and one will McEnany gets a save his fourth and Jeff Zahn the Chicago starter was a losing pitcher.

1661
02:50:48,860 --> 02:50:58,860
His record goes to one and three eight runs 13 hits no errors seven left for the Reds five runs eight hits an error and seven stranded for Chicago.

1662
02:50:58,860 --> 02:51:01,860
The Reds go thirty four and twenty two on the year.

1663
02:51:01,860 --> 02:51:09,860
Boy we've come home to take a pretty good ball club for straight with of course the Pittsburgh Pirates coming in tomorrow night for the first of a two game series.

1664
02:51:09,860 --> 02:51:11,860
We'll be back for more in just a moment.
