00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Montreal Expos faced the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field for a daytime doubleheader on Sunday, June 22, 1969.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
The Expos were in the first year of their franchise history, and it wasn't going well.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
They were managed by Gene Mock, but they entered this game with a 17-45 record, deep within the cellar of the NL East.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The Cubs, on the other hand, were flying high with a five-game lead in the NL East and a 42-24 record.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
They were managed by the legendary Leo DeRosier in his fourth year with the Cubs and 21st year as a big league manager.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
This audio recording is from game one of the doubleheader, featuring Montreal broadcasters Dave Van Horn and Russ Taylor.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:56,000
As they rode on the field, just in front of the Chicago Cubs dugout along the third baseline, they went for the pass and end game behind the plate,

9
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Big Stan Landy, a first base, Bill Williams, a second, Nick Falaustine, a third, Tom Gorman.

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Here are the starting lineup for the Montreal Expos. A few changes.

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
We'll try to go over them slowly.

12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:17,000
By the side of left, they like to keep score of the game as they go along. Out in center field, leading off for the Expos, are the Alfa-Phillips.

13
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Bouting number two, on playing right field, Russ DeShott.

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,000
And this is the first time Shott has been moved up into the second spot in the batting order this year by manager Gene Mock.

15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The third man in the order this afternoon will be second baseman, Gary Sutherland.

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Bob Bailey replaces Ron Perry against the left hand-fishing this afternoon.

17
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Bailey will be playing first base and Batting in the cleanup spot.

18
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Coco Laboy returns to the lineup. Coco, Batting, fifth, replaying third base.

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Jose Herrera, who was taken up by the Expos from the Vancouver Farm Cots, will be playing left field in face of Max Young.

20
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Jose Herrera in left field and Batting, sixth.

21
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
In batting seven will be the catcher, John Bacabella.

22
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Bacabella will play for Johnny Bane, who will be out for about ten days with a flip finger.

23
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Batting one, the Shott stop, will be batting eight.

24
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
On the picture, Gary Raczewski, will be batting nine.

25
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Here's the batting order for the Chicago Cots.

26
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:34,000
John Keltinger will lead off in short. Paul Popovich, the second baseman, will be batting second for the Cots.

27
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Gary Williamson will be out in left field, batting third.

28
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The cleanup man, as he was yesterday, Ron Fentel, the third baseman.

29
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Ernie Bane, leading the Major Leagues and once batted in, will be batting fifth for the Cots this afternoon.

30
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Willie Smith, our sitting left field at batter,

31
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
has been inserted into the lineup by Leah DeRosa, really smart to be playing left field.

32
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Randy Humley, the catcher, ball is snipped in the batting order, batting seventh.

33
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
John Young, the center fielder, will bat eighth.

34
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And, rinsing off the picture, will be ninth in the batting order.

35
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
A lot of new faces, not a national anthem.

36
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000
And she is our national anthem this day.

37
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Wirth of a

38
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:48,000
cage

39
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:46,760
The wind is blowing from right to left at about 14 miles an hour.

40
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Adolfo Phillips stands in against the left-hander Rich Nye and we're waiting for the first pitch of this ballgame.

41
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Here's Nye's wind up, the lefty delivers, it's swung on a line drive out into left field into the left center power alley.

42
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,760
It's in there, Phillips rounds first, he's going to hold up right there after making a big turn.

43
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:14,760
The center fielder Don Young who was pulled around in left center got to that ball quickly and held Phillips to a single.

44
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,760
So Adolfo leads off with a base hit off Nye and the batter will be Rusty Stott.

45
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Rusty's batting 287, a left-hand hitter.

46
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Rich Nye making an one of his infrequent starts, only his third start of the year.

47
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:40,760
31 and two-thirds innings, he has a 4.21 ERA and his record is 0-3.

48
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,760
There's one complete game, no shut-out.

49
00:05:44,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Nye goes to the stretch, gives Phillips a look, here's the pitch to Rusty, it's funded, first base side it goes foul.

50
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Don fouls just a couple of feet up the first base line, the foul will make his way back.

51
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Phillips returns to first base.

52
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:21,760
They say it will rain later on, Gene Mark wants to get that man down a second and hopefully to get him in to get a couple of runs across as soon as he can in case this game is shortened by rain.

53
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Game getting underway, 39 minutes late.

54
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:34,760
0-1 to count on Rusty, here's the stretch, the pitch by Nye, stopped, funded, this one foul back into the screen.

55
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,760
So now he looks to see what kind of a sign he gets.

56
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,760
And he looks to the dugout, the manager, Gene Mark.

57
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Now he's looking to the third base coach, Phoenix Lowe, Lowe going through his set of signs.

58
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,760
Phillips still running it first, nobody out.

59
00:06:53,760 --> 00:07:00,760
On deck, Gary Sutherland.

60
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:12,760
And all foul takes his lead, the stretch by Nye, this pitch, low outside, ball one, one ball, two strikes.

61
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Another good crowd here today, probably about 10,000, 12,000.

62
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,760
A lot of fans, even in the rain, came to this ballpark early.

63
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:32,760
The stretch and a throw to first base, Phillips back in plenty of time, just a token throw to first by Nye.

64
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:45,760
Rusty Stabb has 10 doubles, two triples, eight home runs, 21 RBIs, low and outside, ball two, count is even, two balls and two strikes.

65
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:58,760
The series is even between these two teams, one game each. X-Files winning a bandy yesterday, three to two.

66
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Nye is ready again, the two-two pitch, there goes Phillips, swing and a miss, a throw to second, Adolfo slides in safely, the ball into center field, Phillips trying to third, Young with the throw, Phillips is in there.

67
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Adolfo makes it to third.

68
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:27,760
And let's see, he gets a stolen base, a throwing error on Randy Hundley, sending him to third.

69
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:39,760
Rusty is out swinging, one away, so there's a runner at third with Gary Sutherland at the plate, a stolen base for Phillips and he goes to third on Hundley's throwing error.

70
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:51,760
And now Gary Sutherland batting 242. Gary has hit 12 doubles, has one home run and 13 RBIs.

71
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,760
Really brought his batting average up on this road trip.

72
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:07,760
Chokes up a little bit on the bat. Here's Nye's windup, the pitch cut on, fouled high into the air, out of play to the right side, back into the stand.

73
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,760
0-1 to Gary.

74
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Like you were pointing out, Rusty, it's going to be very important to score early in this ball game.

75
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:25,760
The weatherman has told us that there's another brainstorm moving in.

76
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Here's Nye's windup, the 0-1 to Sutherland is low and inside, one ball and one strike.

77
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Adolfo Phillips, the runner at third base with one out on Beckett's Bob Bailey, batting in the cleanup spot against the left-hander, Rich Nye.

78
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:55,760
Nye delivers, pitchers cut on and popped up, shallow left field, going back in the edge of the grass, Cassenger, shortstop, has it.

79
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:07,760
And Adolfo Phillips has to hold third base at the big out for the Cubs, getting Sutherland on that pop-up to the shortstop, Cassenger.

80
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:24,760
Game steps, Bob Bailey, batting 232, playing first base in this ball game.

81
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:31,760
Nye looks to Hundley for a side.

82
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:39,760
The south for Beals, and he's low and outside with the pitch, ball one, one and nothing to Bob Bailey.

83
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:47,760
Bob has 23 hits in 99 at bats, six doubles, a triple.

84
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:55,760
Adolfo Phillips, former member of the Cubs, leading off third. Nye from the windup, three-pitch.

85
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Slow on and a line drive base hit out into left field, the Expos lead one to nothing.

86
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Bob Bailey comes through, Robert driving in his eleventh run of the season, second hit off Nye.

87
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Here's Coco Laboy, one to nothing Montreal, here in the top of the first.

88
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:34,760
Two hits and a run off Nye. Coco, right-hand hitter, he's batting 255, takes one inside, ball one.

89
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Laboy has been in need of a rest and was given one by manager Gene Mark.

90
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:47,760
The fans was playing at third base the last two days, which is, they like to get that ball up and in to Laboy.

91
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,760
He can give it a pretty good ride. Here's the pitch, Laboy swings high, pop up, right side, Ernie Banks,

92
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,760
waves everybody out of the way and makes the catch and that's all for the Expos.

93
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:05,760
Laboy pops up to Banks, five men come to the plate and the Expos get a run of two hits.

94
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,760
No errors and one man, one error charged to Hundley, the throwing error into center field.

95
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,760
One man was left on base and the score, the Expos won and the Cubs coming to bat.

96
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,760
There's a lot of activity elsewhere in Major League Baseball today in the National League.

97
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,760
Pittsburgh is leading Philadelphia five to nothing playing in the top half of the fifth inning.

98
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,760
St. Louis is trailing New York two to one.

99
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,760
In the bottom half of the fourth, the Mets came from behind with two runs in the bottom of the third.

100
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,760
They lead that ball game two to one, bottom half of the fourth inning.

101
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,760
Nothing yet on the giant Atlantic game in the bottom half of the third inning, still a scoreless tie.

102
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,760
The Dodgers lead Cincinnati one to nothing, playing in the top half of the third inning.

103
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Over in the American leg, the Yankees got a run across in the top of the first.

104
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,760
Lead Boston one to nothing now in the bottom of the first.

105
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Cleveland two runs bottom half of the second inning, lead Baltimore two to nothing now playing in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

106
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:13,760
Other ball games, Minnesota at Oakland, Washington at Detroit, Kansas City at Seattle, and Chicago at California.

107
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Nothing yet on those ball games.

108
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:24,760
Here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, one to nothing for the Expos.

109
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Moving into the bottom half of the first inning and for our first look at the Chicago Cubs lineup,

110
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:42,760
the Expos are in the lead one to nothing on a couple of timely hits by Adolfo Phillips, the steal of second, going here, and a line single by Bob Bailey.

111
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,760
Now we'll see what the Cubs do in their half of the first.

112
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:53,760
It'll be Don Kessinger, Paul Popovich, and Billy Williams.

113
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Don Kessinger is a switch hitter.

114
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Kessinger first came up with the Cubs his first year in ball ball, which was 1964, he broke in with Fort Worth.

115
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Then he came up with the Cubs at the end of the season for four games.

116
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:20,760
He was back at Dallas, Fort Worth in 65 for 46 games, then came to the Cubs to stay for 106 games.

117
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:31,760
He has a lifetime major league batting average of 239.

118
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Kessinger batting left against the right-hander, Gary Wazlowski.

119
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:43,760
Fastball, going inside, ball one.

120
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Kessinger is one of the main reasons that the Cubs of last year led the national league in defense, second straight year.

121
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,760
Here's the pitch, taken for a strike, letter high on the outside corner.

122
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Count evens, one ball, one strike.

123
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,760
Right-hander, Gary Wazlowski, his first start for the Expos.

124
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:19,760
Here's the pitch, swing and a miss, one and two to Kessinger.

125
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,760
Gary's appeared in four games in relief.

126
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:30,760
Total of six innings for the Expos has an ERA of three.

127
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:42,760
They wind up in the pitch, taken low, split the dish but a little low, two balls, two strikes.

128
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:48,760
Paul Popovich is on deck, Expos leading one to nothing, we're in the bottom of the first.

129
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:57,760
Wazlowski missing the outside corner, again low, and he goes to a full count on Kessinger, three balls, two strikes.

130
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:07,760
It's a cloudy, windy, rainy Chicago on this Sunday afternoon.

131
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,760
Of course, we'd like to get both games in, hoping for at least one.

132
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,760
Here's the fastball, Swarov, line drive foul to the left.

133
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:21,760
Counts still three and two to Kessinger.

134
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Joel Malfortano's in the first base coaching box for the Cubs at third base.

135
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,760
His feet loser.

136
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:41,760
Gary's wind up, his pitch is fine inside and Kessinger is on.

137
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Wazlowski got out in front one and two, then came back and lost him.

138
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Kessinger draws the walk, the batter will be Paul Popovich.

139
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:56,760
We'll see what the Cubs try to do here, trailing one nothing in the first inning.

140
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Popovich, left hand hitter, batting 273 with the Cubs after 11 games.

141
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,760
He's hitting 234 with the Dodgers in 39 games.

142
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:14,760
He'll throw the first base and Kessinger is back in 20 of times.

143
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Jose Herrera not too deep in left field.

144
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Adolfo Phillips just a couple of steps around the left center.

145
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:32,760
Stob in right, here's the pitch, taken high, ball one.

146
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Joseph LeBoy is in on the edge of the grass at third, Bobby winds the shirtstop,

147
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Gary Sutherland at second and Bob Baylor the first baseman holding the runner, Kessinger.

148
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,760
John Bacabella courses behind the plate, good bound to one catcher,

149
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:57,760
the stretch, throw the first back in time as Kessinger.

150
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:05,760
Ronnie Brand had the middle finger on his right hand,

151
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,760
the tip of the finger was cut open by a foul tip yesterday and he had to leave the ballgame.

152
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:20,760
The pitch is low, ball two to Popovich on deck, Billy Williams.

153
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:29,760
In the event that something would happen to John Bacabella that would make it impossible for him to play,

154
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Gary Sutherland would be the catcher he's caught before.

155
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,760
We're going to get some activity in the exposed bullpen.

156
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,760
Here's the pitch, taken for a strike, two and one to Popovich.

157
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:52,760
Dan McGinn, left hander, warming up in the exposed bullpen.

158
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Kessinger takes his lead from first, there's nobody out.

159
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:06,760
The stretch, a look at the runner and a throw to first and Kessinger makes his way back safely.

160
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Might point out today that they caught Kessinger yesterday, Ronnie Brand with a great throw to second base.

161
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Wazlowski with another quick move to first and again, Dan Kessinger is back.

162
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,760
The man at the plate is Paul Popovich.

163
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:31,760
The stretch, here's the pitch, taken high, bounced out of the glove of John Bacabella, Kessinger holds.

164
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Here comes manager Gene Mark, now he wants to talk to Gary Wazlowski.

165
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,760
Gary's gone three and one on Popovich after walking Kessinger.

166
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,760
So that's all time out down on the field.

167
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Mark's coming out there, he'll be joined by John Bacabella, the catcher.

168
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:57,760
And the conversation between manager Gene Mark and Gary Wazlowski taking place right on top of the hill.

169
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,760
First baseman Bob Bailey coming over to take a look.

170
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,760
Elsewhere, Pittsburgh, five, Philadelphia nothing, they've completed four.

171
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,760
New York leads St. Louis two to one after three and a half.

172
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,760
No score in the San Francisco-Atlanta game after two and a half.

173
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,760
And it's Los Angeles one, Cincinnati nothing after two.

174
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,760
Bill Singer pitching for the Dodgers.

175
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,760
All right, we're ready to go.

176
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Boc is back in the dugout, Wazlowski has a big pitch coming up here, three and one to count.

177
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,760
There goes the runner, the pitch swung on and missed.

178
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Bacabella's throw to second and they get Kessinger.

179
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,760
Well, that does away with the base runner, a fine throw by John Bacabella to Bobby Wine.

180
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,760
And Wine was waiting for him.

181
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,760
Boy, Kessinger had a good jump too.

182
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:52,760
He had a good jump on the pitcher, but that was a terrific throw by John Bacabella and a great tag by Bobby Wine.

183
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,760
And for the second straight game, Don Kessinger gets caught stealing.

184
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,760
And there's nothing slick about that infield, that infield's dry.

185
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,760
Wazlowski's pitch is outside a ball.

186
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,760
Popovich draws a walk, two walks given up by Gary Wazlowski with one out.

187
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Popovich is on and the batter will be Billy Williams.

188
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,760
Billy Williams is hitting 298.

189
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:30,760
Among his 78 hits, 15 doubles, 4 dribbles, 8 home runs, 38 RBIs.

190
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,760
Billy Williams is appearing in his 887th straight game today.

191
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,760
He has not missed a game since September 21st of 1963.

192
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,760
He's going after Musial's record.

193
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,760
The first pitch, going outside a ball.

194
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,760
Musial's record is 895 consecutive games.

195
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,760
That's the best in the National League.

196
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,760
Williams should break that record one week from today.

197
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,760
They have a big day planned here at Wrigley Field for him.

198
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,760
It's going to be Billy Williams' day.

199
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,760
That's the end here.

200
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Popovich leading off first.

201
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:14,760
The pitch to Williams, swung on, bounced foul just off the end of the exposed dugout.

202
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,760
One ball and one strike to Williams.

203
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:28,760
The Cubs bird baseman Ron Santo is on deck.

204
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,760
And Doug Williams played deep and a few steps around to the right.

205
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,760
Wazlowski to the stretch.

206
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,760
The pitch, swung on, and a high fly ball down the right field line.

207
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Popovich, going back into the corner, he's in the corner and makes the catch.

208
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,760
Trying to get back to first is Popovich.

209
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,760
The throw is not in time.

210
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,760
He got back safely.

211
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,760
Just he's down right up against the wall in the right field corner to make the catch.

212
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Popovich made it back to first two away.

213
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,760
Boy, that was close.

214
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,760
Ten seconds for station identification.

215
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,760
This is the Exposed Baseball Radio Network.

216
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,760
A division of Regal Broadcasting.

217
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:20,760
This is WHRL, 103.1 on your FM dial, Albany, New York.

218
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Here is Ron Santo batting 291.

219
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Right hand hitter.

220
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,760
Santo has 53 RBIs.

221
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:35,760
Second best in the club to Ernie Banks who has 59 and leads the league.

222
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,760
Banks is Santo's second in the National League in the RBI Department.

223
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,760
Popovich leads out first.

224
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,760
Wazlowski's pitch, a check swing, it's low and outside a ball.

225
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,760
Dave Rusty stopped 30 lights to go back against the wall for those fly balls.

226
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,760
He did it in Dodger Stadium in that clutch situation when the Exposed broke out of their slump.

227
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,760
And that one there, he was almost climbing the wall on it.

228
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:11,760
353 down that right field line and stopped way back there on the track, almost in the ivy.

229
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,760
1-0 the count on Santo.

230
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,760
A look at Popovich, here's the pitch.

231
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,760
Swung on, fly ball, right field, stopped, holding his ground.

232
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Hounds his mitt, makes the catch, that's all for the Cubs in the first.

233
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Well the Bruins are down, no runs, no hits.

234
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,760
No errors, one man left.

235
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:36,760
The score at the end of one at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Expos won the Cubs nothing.

236
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:43,760
We'd like to remind all our listeners in the Ottawa area that there are a number of TRS locations now open in that area

237
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:51,760
for the purchasing of Expo baseball tickets and also for those pro football games August 11th and August 25th.

238
00:24:51,760 --> 00:25:01,760
Alright folks in Ottawa, here are the locations, the Colonial Bus Line at 265 Albert Street in Ottawa.

239
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Also two Miracle Mart locations, 2160 Crowding Avenue in the Fairlawn Plaza and 1595 Maryville Road.

240
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:18,760
Now for the folks in Burlington, that's the Vermont Transit Line, you'll find a TRS location.

241
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,760
And you know that through TRS you go there, you buy your tickets and you've got nothing to worry about,

242
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,760
your seats are reserved for you, you don't have to get up to the ballpark early to buy your tickets,

243
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:34,760
if you want to go to the ballpark early, and that's to take in the fun of batting practice and the sights in Montreal.

244
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:42,760
But you don't have to worry about ticket reservations through TRS because once you buy them you've got them.

245
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Well the Expo's got out of that, in the bottom half of the first inning is Walsh Lusky walked two runners,

246
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:55,760
the first one Don Kessinger was caught stealing, a fine throw by John Bocabello to Bobby Wine on the bag at second,

247
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,760
then Paul Popovich walked and Billy Williams hit that long one, the rusty stop,

248
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:06,760
and rusty turn and David Pfeiffer that forget about it look, it looked as though it was going to hit the wall or go over the fence,

249
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:17,760
and then he went right back into the corner and pulled it down.

250
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:25,760
All set to go to work now for the Expo's, Jose Herrera, John Bocabello, and Bobby Wine.

251
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,760
On the mound left, Andy Rich Nye.

252
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,760
Herrera batting 500, he's two for four, one game with the Expo's, this is Jose's second.

253
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:48,760
The pitch is low, ball one, right hand hitter, ball up from Vancouver, real gentleman,

254
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Jose right down on the end of that bat, holds him high, Nye winds it up, kicks and deals, fastball is low,

255
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:05,760
he's behind 2-0. Expo scored a run on two hits in the first inning with Bob Bailey driving in Adolfo Phillips,

256
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:11,760
who stole second and went to third on Henley's throwing error, with two outs, Bailey single to left.

257
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:18,760
Nye pitches, swung on, a diving stop by Sando at third, throw to first, is in drive,

258
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:25,760
great play by Cubs third baseman Ron Sando, ball hit hard on the ground, Sando had to dive to his left,

259
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:33,760
he took a hit away from Jose.

260
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,760
Herrera's got pretty fair speed, Sando had to pick himself up and make the throw over the banks at first,

261
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,760
and they got Herrera one away.

262
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:52,760
The batter, John Bocabello, John is hitting 140.

263
00:27:52,760 --> 00:28:01,760
He's at first week in July before John Bateman comes off the disabled list, Ron Brand expected to be out for several days.

264
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:08,760
The first pitch to Bocabello is low and outside, ball one, one out and nobody on here in the top of the second.

265
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:17,760
These Cubs will be at Jerry Park, the 30th through the third, that's next week, Monday through Thursday,

266
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:26,760
a week from this coming Monday. Next pitch is low to Bocabello, ball two, John a right hand hitter, a former Cub.

267
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Spent his first full season behind the plate last year, the Chicago farm and the Pacific Coast League at Tacoma.

268
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:46,760
Here's the two nothing to John, swing and a miss for a strike, two and one.

269
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:53,760
Monday night, tomorrow night of course, at Jerry Park, St. Louis Cardinals.

270
00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:01,760
Now winds it up to two one who's taken outside, ball three, three and one, Russ really sounds good to say tomorrow night at Jerry Park, doesn't it?

271
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,760
Sounds unbelievable to tell you the truth, can't believe it.

272
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:12,760
First there's a welcome home for the club at 1230, tomorrow Plasville, Marie in downtown Montreal.

273
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:19,760
Bocabello fouls one high into the air, out of play to the right, way up into the upper deck.

274
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:27,760
A full count to John, three balls, two strikes, Bobby Wyand is on deck.

275
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Hope we'll see the sun in Montreal, we haven't seen it on the road trip, we sure haven't.

276
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:51,760
Outfields around to the left and deep, the pitch, swing and a foul, off to the left of the plate, three and two.

277
00:29:51,760 --> 00:30:00,760
Cardinals will be in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night games, 8.05 Thursday, the cards may expose 4.05.

278
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:09,760
We'll be back here at Jerry Park next weekend for a weekend series, Friday night, Saturday afternoon and a double dip on Sunday.

279
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:15,760
Here's Nyes three two to Bocabello, second half.

280
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:24,760
John goes down swinging, second strike out for Rich Nye with two away, Bobby Wyand steps in, expo shortstop.

281
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:41,760
And two forty-one, fourteen hits, no extra base hits, has seven RBIs.

282
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:53,760
Nye delivers, swung on and here's the crack ball right up the jump to the right of second base, second baseman Popovich takes care of this and Wyand is retired.

283
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,760
Nye put him down one two three with nothing across.

284
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:04,760
I have a feeling that might have stung the hands of Bobby Wyand a little bit.

285
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,760
The crack of that bat resounded around this ballpark.

286
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,760
Nothing across, the score at the end of one and a half remains, Bocari all one, Chicago nothing.

287
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:20,760
On the other side of the scoreboard, the Mets have taken a 5-1 lead over St. Louis playing in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

288
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:28,760
They scored three more runs in the bottom half of the fourth inning after taking a two to one lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third.

289
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,760
The Giants are leading Atlanta one to nothing in the bottom half of the fourth inning.

290
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,760
Pittsburgh still out in front five to nothing over the Phillies in the top of the fourth.

291
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Some American League scores in, the Yankees have scored a run in the first, also in the second inning and they lead the Red Sox two to nothing now playing in the bottom half of the second.

292
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,760
Cleveland leads Baltimore two to nothing.

293
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,760
That ballgame is in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

294
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,760
The first game between Washington and Detroit is just getting underway.

295
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,760
That's the story on the other side of the board.

296
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:09,760
We'll watch these games very closely, especially that Pittsburgh Philadelphia game because the X-Bows are aiming for fifth place.

297
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:22,760
They're still a long way out, but that's the target. Get the Phillies.

298
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:29,760
Now the bottom of the second, Ernie Banks, Willie Smith, Randy Hundley.

299
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Ernie Banks is batting 271, 65 hits, 108 total bases, seven doubles, 12 home runs and 59 RBIs.

300
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,760
Best in the major leagues.

301
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:57,760
Ernie Banks has been a Chicago Cup now, listen to that ovation for him. 17 years.

302
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,760
Right hand hitter.

303
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:12,760
Gary Wazlowski with the windup. The pitch to Ernie is fouled. Out of play to the right. Strike one.

304
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,760
Do you think Ernie is popular here in the Chicago Bay?

305
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:23,760
I'll tell you, he owns this city.

306
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:32,760
Number 14. Wazlowski delivers back swings and misses strike two.

307
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,760
Willie Smith on deck.

308
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,760
In the first inning, the Cubs got two runners on.

309
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Kessinger walked and was thrown out attempting to steal. Popovich walked and Wazlowski got out of it.

310
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,760
Williams on a deep fly ball to right. High and inside, Ernie hits the deck.

311
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,760
One ball, three strikes.

312
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,760
And then Chateau applied the right to end the inning.

313
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:07,760
That ball Williams hit sent Staub into the right field corner, just about against the wall.

314
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:14,760
Here's the one-two to Banks, taking high and outside. Ball two. Two balls and two strikes.

315
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:24,760
The pitch.

316
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:32,760
Struck him out. That is all for Ernie Banks. Strikeout number one for Gary Wazlowski.

317
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:41,760
So Banks is through. That's the 39th time the Banks are struck out this season.

318
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:49,760
And here is wonderful Willie Smith, as he's called here in Chicago.

319
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:58,760
Willie is hitting 279 with 17 hits. He's got three doubles, a triple, four home runs, and 11 RBI.

320
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:04,760
He made history during the Atlanta series with Chicago on the night of June 10th.

321
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,760
He slammed a 500-foot home run off Ron Reid.

322
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,760
It was the first ball hit into the upper level in the new Atlanta stadium.

323
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,760
I don't have to tell you that this guy has got power. Left hand hitter.

324
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,760
Looked at the pitch. It's low, ball one.

325
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,760
Randy Hundley is on deck.

326
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,760
The pitch, taken outside. Ball two, two and oh for Smith.

327
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:42,760
It's the first we've seen Willie in the series.

328
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,760
He's right down on the end of that pad. It's 35 ounces.

329
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,760
Check swing. Did he go through it? He did. It's a strike.

330
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,760
Two and one. Stand landing.

331
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:58,760
So plate umpire says, yes sir, Mr. Williams. You went around on that.

332
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:08,760
You can't fool me in the broad daylight on the north side of Chicago.

333
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,760
One out with nobody on the pitch.

334
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,760
Swung on. Fly ball left field going back. Carrera can't find it.

335
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,760
Just off the top of the wall, a home run.

336
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:32,760
A ball game is tied up one to one.

337
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,760
Willie Smith with his fifth home run of the year is 12 far behind at the time.

338
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:51,760
A one to one here in the bottom of the second.

339
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:58,760
That ball hit dead left field. Bounced back out.

340
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,760
We couldn't tell from here whether it went into the stands and bounced out or came off the top of the yellow rail or just what.

341
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,760
But it was a home run and a tie ball game.

342
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:14,760
Now Randy Hundley, the batter, fouls one into the netting behind the plate. Strike one.

343
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:23,760
Hundley is batting three oh five in sixty seven games. He's played in every Chicago game.

344
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,760
Catcher Randy Hundley, right hand hitter.

345
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,760
The pitch high and in. One ball one strike.

346
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:46,760
Hundley has seven doubles, a triple, eleven home runs and 38 RBIs.

347
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:59,760
This is taken for ball two, two or one. Hundley one of the outstanding young catchers in Major League Baseball today.

348
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,760
The fans here at Wrigley Field are still buzzing about Willie Smith's home run.

349
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:10,760
Waslowski delivers and the bouncing ball goes to the left of wide out in the left center of base hit.

350
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:18,760
Hundley will hold up at first with a single. Second hit off Gary Waslowski.

351
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:33,760
That'll bring the center fielder Don Young to the plate. Young is hitting two forty four.

352
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:46,760
He's played in fifty seven of the sixty seven Cubs games and has six doubles, two triples, three home runs and twenty one RBIs.

353
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:54,760
Don Young. Hundley takes his lead off first. Waslowski has the tie and holds the belt.

354
00:38:54,760 --> 00:39:04,760
Taken high and inside. Ball one. Center fielder Adolfo Phillips shaded around toward left center.

355
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:20,760
Phillips now moving Herrera over just one or two steps with that breeze now blowing pretty good from the right field wall in toward the left field line.

356
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:26,760
Ball through to Young. Two and nothing.

357
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:34,760
Adolfo just warning Jose that a fly ball coming his way is going to go toward the foul line.

358
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,760
With that good breeze here.

359
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,760
Hundley on at first. One out.

360
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:48,760
Here's the pitch. It's taken for a strike right across the knees. Two and one.

361
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,760
Shovellum seated over toward second base line is playing right in the hole at short.

362
00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:04,760
LeBoy about even with the bag at third base.

363
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,760
The stretch and a little throw to first base.

364
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,760
Move Hundley back. Two and one.

365
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,760
They count on the batter. Don Young.

366
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:22,760
Exposed toward in the first inning and Willie Smith's home run here in the bottom of the second is tied it up one to one.

367
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:34,760
One out and Hundley aboard. The pitch taken for strike two. Call. Two and duty Young.

368
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:43,760
On deck is the pitcher Rich Nye.

369
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:53,760
Young is a big man to get.

370
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,760
Gary is ready. He holds the belt. Here's the pitch.

371
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:13,760
And it's just missed the outside corner. Three and two.

372
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:18,760
All right now Hundley steps off first. Taking a lead.

373
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,760
Just about two and a half steps off the bag.

374
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:30,760
Now he extends it to three. Wasmucy looks at him. Here's the pitch. A check swing. It's high and inside.

375
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:36,760
He's on.

376
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:43,760
Hundley moves down to second. Young is at first. Runners at first and second with one away here in the second.

377
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,760
And the batter is the pitcher Rich Nye.

378
00:41:48,760 --> 00:42:00,760
And again we're going to get activity in the X-Pose. And it's Dan McGinn up for the second time.

379
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:07,760
Jassenger is on deck.

380
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:13,760
The Cubs get the tie breaking run in scoring position.

381
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:22,760
Wasmucy is ready. Gary delivers. Fastball taken for a strike by Nye. 0-1.

382
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:36,760
The infield a double play depth. Outfield is not too deep and pretty much straight away.

383
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:43,760
The runners lead Hundley from second. Young from first.

384
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:50,760
Here's Gary's pitch. Taken outside. Ball one. A fall and a strike to Rich Nye.

385
00:42:50,760 --> 00:43:04,760
See what Nye's done at the plate. Well he's hitting one sixty-seven. He's one for six at the plate this season.

386
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:10,760
One ball and one strike.

387
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:20,760
Here's the pitch. Swung on. Bouncing ball. Bailey has it. Goes to second for one. And there'll be no throw back to first base.

388
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:27,760
Coming in hard was John Young and he upset Bobby Wine. But Young is out as Hundley moved to third.

389
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:44,760
And Nye is on on the field of his choice. Young is out. Bailey to Wine. Young came in hard and took Bobby out of the play. Upended him.

390
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:53,760
So it's two away. Runners at first and third. Don Kessinger. He walked in the first inning and was thrown out attempting to steal.

391
00:43:53,760 --> 00:44:10,760
Kessinger batting two ninety-three. Batting three hundred as a left-hander. He's a switch hitter.

392
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,760
Nye has done the warm-up jacket.

393
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:26,760
Fakes his lead from first base. Hundley leading from third base. Was Lucey looking to Bocabella. Gary's ready. Bocabella sets the target.

394
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:34,760
Here's the pitch. Swung on. Fly ball. Right field. In the right center. Adolfo Phillips is going to come in and that's Wynn.

395
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:42,760
Put that ball straight away in the center field and Adolfo made the catch to end the inning. So that's all for the Cubs.

396
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:53,760
One run. Willie Smith's home run. Two hits. No errors. And two were left on base. The score at the end of two. X-Bow's one. Cubs one.

397
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:59,760
X-Bow's hit the score sheet first here at the Wrigley Field in Chicago in the top half of the first inning.

398
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,760
The lead-off man Adolfo Phillips flashed a single to left field. He stole second base.

399
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:13,760
And on the wild-scroll by the catcher, Randy Hundley, Phillips went down to third. Hundley was charged with a throwing error.

400
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:20,760
Rusty Stobbs struck out and Gary Sutherland popped out to second base. With two outs, Phillips on third base.

401
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:28,760
Bob Bailey lined a single to left field, scoring Phillips with the X-Bow's only run, giving them a one-to-nothing lead.

402
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:37,760
The Cubs got their run in the bottom half of the second inning when with one out, left-hand batter Willie Smith hit an opposite field home run,

403
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:44,760
a long one, over the left field wall into the bleacher seats to tie it up at one-all. And that's how the score stands at the moment.

404
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:51,760
Chicago Cubs one. Montréal X-Bow's one as we go to the top half of the third inning.

405
00:45:51,760 --> 00:46:01,760
Series wind-ups this afternoon at Chicago.

406
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:15,760
We move to the top of the third here at Wrigley Field, a one-one ballgame, and it'll be Gary Wazlowski, the X-Bow's pitcher, followed by Adolfo Phillips and Rusty Stobbs.

407
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:24,760
Willie Smith home runs a left in the bottom of the second, tying the ballgame up.

408
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:30,760
Gary Wazlowski.

409
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:37,760
He's 0 for 4 as a hitter with the X-Bow's.

410
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:43,760
That's right-handed.

411
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:58,760
Left-hander Rich Nye on the mound for Chicago, delivers to Wazlowski, low and in, ball one. And boy did Henley rifle that ball back to Rich Nye.

412
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:12,760
Here's the wind-up. Nye kicks high and to you. Wazlowski plings and misses a high fastball. One ball and one strike.

413
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:23,760
The American League New York Yankees lead the Boston Red Sox 2-1 after two innings, Fenway Park and Boston. Next pitch is high and in to Gary, ball two, 2-1.

414
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:32,760
Washington leading Detroit 1-0 after one, and Cleveland has Baltimore 2-0 after six.

415
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:43,760
The pitch to Wazlowski swings and misses a breaking ball. 2-2.

416
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:53,760
Jack Hyatt just hit a home run for San Francisco, his sixth of the year in the fifth inning. There's nobody on.

417
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:59,760
Giants lead Atlanta 2-0.

418
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:11,760
A swing and a foul. Counter still 2-2.

419
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:18,760
Keep looking around in the sky trying to find a break somewhere. We don't see much of one. Here's the 2-2 pitch.

420
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,760
It's low and outside and there's a full count now to Gary. Three balls, two strikes.

421
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:37,760
Phillips on deck. We stated before, they tell us that there should be no rain for a couple of hours.

422
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:44,760
We've got a little over an hour to go before the weatherman's calling for more rain. Wazlowski strikes out.

423
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:50,760
Gary goes down swinging. Foul tipped the ball, but Hundley hung on to it.

424
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:55,760
Adolfo Phillips. And a base hit to the left in the first inning.

425
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:04,760
Goal second went to third when Hundley threw the ball in the center field and then scored on Bob Bailey's base hit.

426
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:17,760
Adolfo. Right hand hitter.

427
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:24,760
Rich Nice wind up. The left-hander delivers inside. Back came out of there. Ball one.

428
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:37,760
The Cubs here at Wrigley Field have drawn over 500,000 fans in 29 home dates.

429
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:47,760
They're doing very well. Here's a bunt hard right in front of third. Chando up with it. The corner first is in time. Second great play by Ron Chando.

430
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:59,760
The foul was funded hard to the third base drive.

431
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:05,760
And Chando backhanded the ball on the line through off balance to first to get the speedy Adolfo Phillips.

432
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:13,760
Just watching Stan Landis. He's bowled the Cubs infield twice now. Not to throw the ball around the infield after and out.

433
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:18,760
He wants the ball to go right back to the pitcher. He's trying to keep this game moving.

434
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,760
Two outs, nobody on. Rusty Scott. Ground ball. Kessinger gobbles it up to throw to first.

435
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,760
From the exposure down, one, two, three. Here in the third with nothing across.

436
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:33,760
The score at the end of two and a half, Montreal 1, Chicago 1.

437
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:42,760
Fans may we remind you once again that if you haven't ordered your copy of the Expose yearbook, you do it before the season has gone.

Sketches and all the parts of the Expose organization. The Expose yearbook is perfect for obtaining your own autograph.

442
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:15,760
And if you're at Splashville, Marie tomorrow at noon hour at 1230, then bring your, make sure you bring your Expose yearbook along with you.

443
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:23,760
For a copy of the yearbook, send $1.25 to yearbook Jerry Clark's Montreal.

444
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:30,760
And you'll find in your yearbook in the center for all the beautiful color portrait of the Montreal Expose taken down at spring training.

445
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,760
This portrait is suitable for framing.

446
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:42,760
Yearbook, Jerry Clark's Montreal.

447
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:51,760
Before we go to the bottom half of the third inning and the Chicago Cubs batting order, let's pause 10 seconds for station identification.

448
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,760
This is the Expo Baseball Network.

449
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:59,760
Serving the Golden Triangle of Albany, Connecticut, and Troy.

450
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:06,760
This is the million dollar music sound of WHRL stereo Albany, New York.

451
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:14,760
Going into the bottom half of the third inning here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Expos and the Cubs are all tied up at one apiece.

452
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:22,760
First man up, Paul the Cubs in the bottom of the third, second baseman Paul Popovich.

453
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,760
Paul Popovich walked in the first inning.

454
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,760
Left hand hitter.

455
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:33,760
Again, Jerry was loose key.

456
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:39,760
Jerry's lineup is pitch is shut on and popped up down the right field line, foul territory.

457
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:50,760
Bailey, first baseman, near the wall now makes the catch right in front of the box, he tossed the end of the Expos dugout.

458
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,760
That's one away.

459
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,760
Billy Williams, fly to right, deep, the rusty sab in the first inning.

460
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:04,760
Dave, I was just checking the Expos program, the batting order, rather than the batting order, the roster.

461
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:17,760
Here are the players who will be new to Montreal, Ron Fairley, Kev Collins, Adolfo Phillips, Dick Raditz the monster, Howie Reed the pitcher, Herrera the left fielder, and Wes Lusky who is pitching for the Expos this afternoon.

462
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:24,760
His first pitch to Billy Williams, big swing and a miss, strike one.

463
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:33,760
We are three and five against the Chicago Cubs this year here at Wrigley Field, two and three, at Jerry Park, one and two.

464
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:41,760
Wes Lusky's, oh one to Williams, oh he leaned out, had a few notions about that, but let it go low and outside, one ball, one strike.

465
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,760
Williams looks very anxious.

466
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,760
Cloudy over Chad.

467
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,760
Most of the rain here in an hour.

468
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,760
So don't go away.

469
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,760
A one one ball game.

470
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:13,760
Wes Lusky's pitch, taking low and outside, ball two to Williams, two balls, one strike.

471
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,760
Wes Lusky delivers.

472
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,760
Inside, ball three, he is behind on Williams three and one.

473
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:28,760
Gary got in trouble with walks in the first inning, walked the first too many paces, but fortunately, Kessinger was thrown out attempting to steal.

474
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,760
And he got out of that jam.

475
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:38,760
Pitchers cut on, foul, left side out of play.

476
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,760
Three and two.

477
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:56,760
Next post, throwing a run in the first, the Cubs, a home run by Willie Smith in the second to tie it, one to one here in the bottom of the third.

478
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,760
Gary's lineup ends it.

479
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,760
Just missed the outside corner.

480
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,760
Williams is on with a walk.

481
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,760
The fourth walk given up by Wes Lusky.

482
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,760
That'll bring Ron Sandro to the plate.

483
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:13,760
He's got a nice hand.

484
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:23,760
He's made two plays in the field that were just phenomenal.

485
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,760
Diving stop of a ball hit by Herrera.

486
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:36,760
And a great play on Adolfo Phillips, hard bunt to the third base side.

487
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,760
One out with one on.

488
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,760
Sandro 0 for 1.

489
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,760
Pitchers way outside.

490
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,760
Ball one.

491
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:56,760
Sandro hit a fly ball to stop in the first inning that ended the inning.

492
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:01,760
Billy Williams takes his lead from first base.

493
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:06,760
Gary Wes Lusky making his first start for the Expos on the mound.

494
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,760
Holds at the belt, looks at the runner.

495
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:25,760
Now a throw and Williams skips back.

496
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,760
Ron Sandro at the plate.

497
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,760
He's got field around to the left for Ron.

498
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:44,760
He steps out, knocking some mud from his plate.

499
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,760
He's back in there now.

500
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,760
The boy protecting the line at third.

501
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,760
Line in the hole.

502
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:53,760
Pitchers high and away.

503
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,760
Ball two.

504
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:05,760
And a hole to Ron Sandro.

505
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:13,760
Gary Wes Lusky not having quite the control he'd like to have.

506
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,760
Working hard.

507
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,760
Pitchers going on line drive over line head out into left field.

508
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,760
Williams is going to hold at second base.

509
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,760
Herrera came up with that ball and left.

510
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:25,760
Williams holds at second.

511
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:30,760
That's hit number three off was Lusky.

512
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,760
And listen to the fans.

513
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,760
Ernie Banks coming to the plate with one out.

514
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,760
Sandro at first and Williams at second in a 1-1 ball game.

515
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:50,760
Banks went down swinging in the second inning.

516
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,760
Again, Dan McGinn, and this is the third time now.

517
00:57:53,760 --> 00:58:02,760
McGinn has gone to work in the X-4 full-thread.

518
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:09,760
Again, the Cubs have got the tie-breaking run at second.

519
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,760
Banks who started the day batting 271 at the plate.

520
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:14,760
Right-hand hitter.

521
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,760
The pitch swung on and bounce foul behind Pete Rieser in the third base,

522
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:24,760
coaching by strike one.

523
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,760
Willie Smith is on deck.

524
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:34,760
Some tough men to face here.

525
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,760
Williams leading off second.

526
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,760
Ron Sandro now takes his lead off first base.

527
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,760
Was Lusky to the ball.

528
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:44,760
He deals.

529
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,760
Banks swings and fouls one again to the left.

530
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:56,760
This time into the Chicago dugout.

531
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:06,760
The newly-red manager of the Chicago Cubs, Leo DeRosier, is seated.

532
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:15,760
Gary is out in front on Ernie Banks now, 0-2.

533
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:22,760
LeBlanc, and he steps off the rubber.

534
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,760
This is another spot to sink in.

535
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,760
He can get out in front of that hitter, 0-2.

536
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:36,760
John Bacabella is going to go out and talk to Was Lusky.

537
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:45,760
And the fans let everyone know that they were not too pleased with that.

538
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,760
They're very anxious for this game to move along.

539
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,760
Dave, I see Dick Raditz, the monster, going out of the bullpen.

540
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,760
He's taking off his warming jacket.

541
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,760
So likely, Big Raditz will start warming up also for the X-Bow.

542
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,760
Yes, he will start warming up.

543
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:02,760
Dick Raditz.

544
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,760
The counter is 0-2 to Ernie Banks.

545
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:13,760
Runners at first and second with one out here in the bottom of the third in a 1-1 ballgame.

546
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,760
Outfield deep, around to the left for Banks.

547
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,760
Here's Was Lusky's pitch.

548
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,760
Swung on and popped up.

549
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,760
Left side, Bobby Wine has made the call.

550
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:24,760
And the catch.

551
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,760
Two away. Banks pops up.

552
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:38,760
Well, Willie Smith with the home run and the second stepping to the plate.

553
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:45,760
Willie hit a 2-1 Was Lusky pitch to left field for the home run.

554
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:55,760
That tied the ballgame up.

555
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,760
He's a left-hand hitter.

556
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,760
Gary Was Lusky, the X-Bow's right-hander, trying to get out of this jam.

557
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,760
Lot of activity. Ben McGinn, the left-hander.

558
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,760
Dick Raditz, right-hander in the bullpen.

559
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,760
Smith swings and misses the first pitch.

560
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,760
Strike one.

561
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:24,760
He took a pretty healthy cut.

562
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:34,760
All this inning is narrowed down to now is a battle between Was Lusky and Willie Smith now that there are two outs.

563
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:43,760
Gary will want to get Smith and get out of this jam.

564
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,760
Here's the pitch. It's down low.

565
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:51,760
Ball one. One ball, one strike.

566
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:57,760
For Willie Smith, center fielder Adolfo Phillips is playing straight away.

567
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:06,760
Jose Herrera pulled around toward left center a few steps.

568
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,760
Right side of the infielder's back.

569
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,760
The pitch.

570
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,760
Taken wide of the plate.

571
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:28,760
Ball two. Two balls and a strike.

572
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:38,760
There's a good sign. Ronnie Brand is catching Dick Raditz down in the X-Bow's bullpen.

573
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,760
He's not throwing the ball hard back to Raditz, but he's able to throw.

574
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:47,760
A pitch. Swinging a foul tip behind the plate into the box seats.

575
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:55,760
That evens the count at two and two.

576
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:56,760
You nervous, Ruff?

577
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:08,760
Kind of. When I watched Willie Smith sort of on soil with that vicious swing of his, a cold chill went up my spine.

578
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,760
Two and two to Willie.

579
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:19,760
Two outs. One-one ball game, bottom of the third.

580
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,760
Now we've got a timeout here as Smith steps out for a moment.

581
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:29,760
Gary, take all the time you want.

582
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,760
Now we're ready. Here's the two-two.

583
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:38,760
Swung on and fouled back onto the netting.

584
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:53,760
So it's still two and two.

585
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:58,760
He's just looking here and could not come up with it.

586
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:05,760
Fast enough, but I'm trying to think back. Isn't that the second home run that Smith has had against us this year?

587
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,760
I may be wrong.

588
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,760
I don't think he's hit any home runs against the X-Bow's this year.

589
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:17,760
The two-two is fouled high into the air down to the right.

590
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:22,760
You know, they could use this guy down at Cape Kennedy.

591
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,760
He really puts the ball into orbit. That one was knocked a mile out of here.

592
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:32,760
He gives it a pretty good ride.

593
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:40,760
He had five home runs in 55 games last year with the Cubs after being dealt to Chicago from Cleveland.

594
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,760
He came up in the Detroit organization back in 1960.

595
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:53,760
Ninth year of pro ball. Willie Smith at the plate. Two balls, two strikes.

596
01:04:53,760 --> 01:05:00,760
He's stepping up.

597
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:06,760
This is a real contest between Wazlowski and Smith.

598
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,760
They're both trying to keep each other off balance.

599
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:15,760
I'm guessing here's the two-two. Slow curve, swung on, popped up left side.

600
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:20,760
LaVoy calls for it. Now, Lyon is there and Bobby makes the catch on the edge of the grass.

601
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:26,760
And Wazlowski is out of trouble here in the third after the Cubs got two on with only one out.

602
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:32,760
Gary got Banks and now Smith on little pop-ups to Bobby Wines.

603
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,760
No runs, one hit.

604
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:40,760
No errors and two Cubs stranded at the end of three at Wrigley Field.

605
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,760
X-Bow's one, Cubs one.

606
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:49,760
In Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia this afternoon, the Pittsburgh Pirates are leading the Phillies, six to nothing.

607
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,760
Now playing in the bottom half of the eighth inning.

608
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:59,760
At Shea Stadium in New York, it's five to one for the Mets over St. Louis in the top of the seventh.

609
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:06,760
At Atlanta Stadium, San Francisco with runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings,

610
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:11,760
lead Atlanta three to nothing, now playing in the bottom half of the sixth.

611
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:17,760
The Dodgers are leading Cincinnati four to nothing, playing in the bottom half of the fourth inning.

612
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,760
San Diego and Houston just getting underway.

613
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:25,760
In the American League, two to one for the Yankees over the Red Sox in the top of the fourth.

614
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:31,760
At Cleveland, two all between the Orioles and the Indians, now playing in the bottom half of the eighth inning.

615
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:40,760
Washington leads Detroit one to nothing in the bottom half of the second inning at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.

616
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:47,760
Here at Wrigley Field, a one all tie between the Expos and the Cubs.

617
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:51,760
For the Expos, one run, two hits, no errors.

618
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,760
The Cubs, a run on three hits, one error.

619
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:59,760
We go to the fourth in a one-one ball game, the first of two scheduled here today at Wrigley Field.

620
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,760
And here's Russ.

621
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:08,760
All right, Jay, first man up for the Expos, Gary Sutherland here in the top half of the fourth inning.

622
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,760
Richie Nye, the left-hander, is all set, delivers.

623
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:17,760
Dodge that bluffs it out in the center field in four, comes young and he takes it.

624
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:23,760
A looper in the short center field, more toward left center, taken by Don Young.

625
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,760
Gary Sutherland is out of there.

626
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:37,760
Bob Bailey, who knocked in the only run for the Expos so far, with a solid single to left field in the first inning.

627
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:44,760
Bob Bailey facing the left-hander, Richie Nye, replacing Ron Fairley at first base.

628
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:50,760
Nye delivers his first pitch to Big Bob, he takes it for ball one.

629
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,760
One and a hole on Bob Bailey.

630
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,760
Outfield playing him deep.

631
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,760
Boy, is Don Young ever deep in left center field.

632
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:02,760
Likewise, Willie Smith in left.

633
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:10,760
Next pitch is taken across the inside corner for strike one.

634
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:18,760
Willie Smith in left field, Don Young in center, Billy Williams in right field.

635
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,760
One and one to count on Bob Bailey.

636
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:26,760
Next pitch, taken for strike two.

637
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:34,760
Nye moves out in front of Bailey, Bailey talking to plate umpire Stan Landis.

638
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,760
The infield, Ernie Banks at first, Paul Propovich at second.

639
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,760
At third base, Ron Sandler, the shortstop is Don Kessinger.

640
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,760
Outside pitch, two and two to count on Bob Bailey.

641
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,760
Bailey to be followed by Coco LaVoy.

642
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:56,760
Bailey single in the first inning, brought in at awful Phillips from third.

643
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,760
Exposed have had two hits, Phillips and Bailey in the first inning.

644
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,760
There's a high bouncer down at Propovich's second, he can't make a throw,

645
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:09,760
and Bailey's on with an infield hit.

646
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:14,760
Paul Propovich had a move to his right and that high bouncer over the bag at second base

647
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,760
was out of position for a throw, and Bailey was down at first with an infield hit.

648
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:25,760
Propovich eventually dropped the ball, but had he not, he would not have been able to make a throw in time.

649
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:29,760
So they've given Bob Bailey an infield hit.

650
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:34,760
So Bailey is two for two.

651
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,760
Coco LaVoy.

652
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:44,760
Coco pops out to first baseman Ernie Banks his first time up.

653
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:53,760
Dousbiel really playing Coco to pull, takes the bond hold back, high inside pitch.

654
01:09:53,760 --> 01:10:02,760
As Nye doesn't want to give Coco anything that he could put down in the form of a sacrifice bun.

655
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:10,760
This is a one-all tie, so the Expos would like to get Bailey down in scoring position on second base.

656
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:15,760
Next pitch is taken inside for ball two.

657
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,760
LaVoy looking down at Peanuts Lowry at third base for a sign.

658
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:27,760
Peanuts Lowry coaching for the Expos at third, Bob Olmos at first base.

659
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:34,760
The pitch, line shot foul in left field near the Cubs bullpen.

660
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:43,760
Tony Canigliaro and Rico Petrocelli have hit Boston home runs in the fourth inning, and Boston has now gone ahead of New York,

661
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,760
three to two in the bottom of the fourth.

662
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,760
The Petrocelli is 22nd home run of the year.

663
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,760
New York starter Bill Burback.

664
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,760
One out, one on, two in one pitch.

665
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:55,760
It's high outside.

666
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:57,760
The count is now three and one.

667
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,760
Three balls and one strike on Coco LaVoy.

668
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:06,760
Expos to return home tonight arrive in Montréal around 1130 p.m. at Dorval.

669
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:12,760
And then they take on the St. Louis Cardinals, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Chicago Cubs.

670
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:13,760
There goes the runner.

671
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,760
The ball's hit past Ron Sanoweth in the left field.

672
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:21,760
Bailey makes the turn at second, is heading into third, and will hold up.

673
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:31,760
Coco LaVoy is down to second with a double.

674
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:39,760
A double down the left field line by Coco LaVoy, beyond the reach of Ron Sanoweth, who's made two spectacular plays at third base,

675
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,760
but this time Sanoweth couldn't get near the ball.

676
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:53,760
A Coco LaVoy specialty, Coco likes to hug that line with his line shot.

677
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:59,760
And for Coco is 15th double of the year.

678
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:05,760
Now at the mound conference, Sanoweth comes in from third, Randy Huntley, out to talk to Richie Nye.

679
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:14,760
First base is unoccupied, and Jose Herrera is the batter with one out.

680
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:26,760
So we'll see if they decide to put Herrera on, but they'd have to deal with John Bacabella, and Boc's got a lot of power.

681
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:34,760
Submarine ball specialist Ted Abernathy is warming up for the Cubs.

682
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:41,760
Bailey on third base.

683
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:54,760
They don't want to take any chances, so he'll pitch to Herrera.

684
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,760
Bailey on third, just a few steps off the bag.

685
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,760
LaVoy a longer lead off second, no one holding him close to the bag.

686
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:07,760
The infielders playing in, they'll want to get the runner at the plate on a ground ball.

687
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:16,760
They're pitched to Herrera, it's bounced to the third base, and Sanoweth runs around close to the plate, and they get Bob Bailey.

688
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:23,760
Well that strategy worked perfectly for the Chicago Cubs.

689
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:27,760
Boy, Sanoweth made a spectacular play on that high bouncer by Herrera.

690
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:35,760
He turned his back on the plate, turned around, and fired it right to Randy Hundley to get Bob Bailey.

691
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:48,760
LaVoy has moved to third, Herrera's on first, and we've got two out.

692
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:55,760
Boy, a great play by Ron Sanoweth.

693
01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:01,760
Nipping Bob Bailey.

694
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:06,760
LaVoy was showing only one out for a while, now they've changed it to two away.

695
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:20,760
Bacabella the batter, two out, top half of the fourth inning, expose the runners on first and third.

696
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:26,760
Richie Nye has given up four hits, Bacabella takes it low for ball one.

697
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:31,760
Outfield playing Bacabella deep.

698
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:36,760
Willie Smith in deep left field.

699
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,760
Don Young has moved over slightly toward the power alley in left center.

700
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:47,760
The pitch is fouled up onto the screen and rolls down.

701
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:53,760
One ball and one strike. The fans out in the left field bleachers have been there since 10.30 this morning.

702
01:14:53,760 --> 01:15:00,760
I say since 10.30. We arrived with the club at Wrigley Field at 10.30, and they were already there.

703
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:05,760
So they were probably there early this morning, and boy are they ever having a ball.

704
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:13,760
They have a cheerleading section. One on a miss for strike two.

705
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,760
One ball and two strikes on Bacabella. They have a cheerleading section.

706
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:23,760
They're all wearing yellow hats. Looks like those hard hats. Looks like construction helmets.

707
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:28,760
I think they're still here from yesterday, right?

708
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,760
I think they realized yesterday's game is over.

709
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,760
But they're a lot like football fans, that crowd out there in left field.

710
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:46,760
Inside the Bacabella, through and through the count, they have a cheerleader, and these are cheers I've never heard before.

711
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:55,760
They'll pick out the name of a club player and include it in their cheers from time to time.

712
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,760
The next pitch to Bacabella, fly ball at a short right field.

713
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:06,760
Moving under it is Billy Williams. He takes it.

714
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:11,760
And Richie Nye gets out of that jam with the help of Ron Santa with third base.

715
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,760
40-X pulls, no runs on two hits.

716
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:19,760
No errors, and two men left stranded.

717
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,760
We go to the bottom half of the fourth inning, still with a one-all tie.

718
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:28,760
Take a look at the scoreboard now. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh playing in the ninth inning at Connie Mack Stadium.

719
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,760
It's the Pirates sixth, the Phillies nothing.

720
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:39,760
St. Louis is at New York, and the Mets at Shea Stadium lead the Cardinals 5-1 after six in the first game of their doubleheader.

721
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:43,760
It's the Giants three, Atlanta nothing.

722
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,760
Seventh inning, first game of two down at Atlanta.

723
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,760
Ron Marischel for the Giants.

724
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,760
Los Angeles four, Cincinnati nothing at the end of five and the first of two.

725
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,760
Bill Singer for the Dodgers.

726
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,760
And Jim Maloney now is on the mound for Cincinnati. He came on in the fourth inning.

727
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:04,760
Flaninger started Granger in the third, and now Maloney came on in the fourth.

728
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:10,760
San Diego and Houston single game. It'll be Joe Necrow against Denny LaMastro.

729
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,760
In the American League, New York leading Boston 2-1 after three and a half innings.

730
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,760
It's Cleveland three, Baltimore two at the end of eight.

731
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,760
First game of two.

732
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,760
Detroit leading Washington 2-1 at the end of two.

733
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:34,760
Youngsters down to our left holding a sign.

734
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:42,760
Cubs explode and expose the Expos.

735
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,760
Well the Cubs come to bat in the bottom half of the fourth inning.

736
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,760
For Chicago it'll be the bottom third of their order.

737
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:53,760
Randy Hundley, Don Young, and Richie Nye.

738
01:17:53,760 --> 01:18:00,760
Hundley had a single in the second inning.

739
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:06,760
So he's one for one.

740
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:13,760
Randy is hitting three, oh five.

741
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:19,760
And he's the leader among the Cubs regulars.

742
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:24,760
Right hand batter, Randy Hundley.

743
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:30,760
Randy has hit 11 home runs this year. Takes the first pitch from Gary Weslowski for ball one.

744
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:36,760
What an old account. A one-all tie bottom half of the fourth inning. The Cubs are at bat.

745
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,760
Weslowski delivers. Randy swings and misses.

746
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:44,760
Boy, he took a vicious swing at that pitch from Weslowski.

747
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:51,760
Just let me correct the score I gave just a moment ago during the break. It is Boston 3, New York 2 at the end of four.

748
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:58,760
I had New York leading 2-1. It's 3-2 Boston after four Fenway.

749
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,760
One ball and one strike on Randy Hundley.

750
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:09,760
Randy has knocked in 38 runs this year.

751
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:18,760
One more historian in that Met game, 5-1 for the Met over St. Louis in the bottom of the eighth.

752
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,760
One and two to count now on Hundley.

753
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:27,760
Big stand, Landis takes time out.

754
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:32,760
Dust off, home play. Now we're all set to go once again.

755
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:39,760
The one and two pitch is way high right through the Met of John Bacabella.

756
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,760
Two balls and two strikes. Final score in the American League.

757
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:51,760
The Indians beat the Orioles 3-2. Sudden, Sam McDowell, his ninth win of the year against six losses.

758
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:58,760
All the losers, he's 3-2. Foul weighed up over the screen and will roll back down behind home play.

759
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:07,760
Boy, that was a quickie. That game took two hours and 14 minutes.

760
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,760
Two and two to count on Randy Hundley.

761
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:16,760
To be followed by Don Young.

762
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:29,760
The pitch swung out and missed. Four strike grade. Hundley tosses his bat aside.

763
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:34,760
Waslowski's second strike out of the afternoon.

764
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:40,760
He got Ernie Banks leading off the second inning. Now he strikes out Randy Hundley.

765
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:45,760
Don Young moves in. Young walks in the second inning.

766
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:58,760
First pitch to him is high. Waslowski's fastball. One and 0 to count.

767
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:10,760
The next pitch is in there just on that inside corner. Four strike one.

768
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:16,760
Pete Reiser coaching for the Cubs at third. Low this time for ball two.

769
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:29,760
I'll tell you one thing, it's getting just a little bit darker here in Chicago and there are no lights to turn on unless we all light a match at the same time.

770
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:44,760
High inside for ball three. Waslowski seems to be quickening his pace up there on the hill.

771
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:53,760
Those first four pitches were quick ones. This one is fouled way up out of play upstairs.

772
01:21:53,760 --> 01:22:01,760
Two balls and two strikes on Randy Hundley. A one-all tie between the Cubs and the Expos.

773
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:12,760
The three and two pitch is high and Hundley is on with a walk.

774
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:19,760
Pardon me, Young. I said Hundley. Hundley of course struck out. Don Young is on with a walk.

775
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:25,760
And that's the fifth walk issued by Gary Waslowski this afternoon.

776
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:32,760
Let's take ten seconds for station identification. This is the Expo Baseball Network.

777
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:44,760
When news happens, you'll hear the complete story first on 103.1 WHRL Albany, New York.

778
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:55,760
Strike one out and the runner on first base, the batter is Richie Nye and the guessing is that he'll try to get that runner down a scoring position at second base.

779
01:22:55,760 --> 01:23:03,760
Because Nye will be followed by Don Kessinger at the top of the batting order. We'll see what he does. Here comes the infield.

780
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:16,760
Strike one. Nye squared around a bump. LaVoy charged in from third. Bailey from first base and Southerland went over to the bag at first to take a possible throw.

781
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:23,760
Bobby Wine of course heading over to the bag at second.

782
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:29,760
Throw to first and the runner, Don Young, dives back into the bag.

783
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:36,760
Now time has come. Richie Nye wants some more advice from Pete Reiser.

784
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:46,760
Reiser meets him halfway down the line at third base.

785
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:52,760
Probably just double checking the signals on what he is expected to do.

786
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:59,760
On one account, it's taken low for ball one.

787
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,760
And Nye that time made no attempt to square around for the bunt.

788
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:15,760
So we'll see what Pete Reiser truly or derosher is calling for.

789
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:29,760
The one on one pitch is hit on the ground to Wine. Over to Sudge for one. Back to first. They've got the double play.

790
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:37,760
Richie Nye bounces into a double play. Hit it sharply to Bobby Wine at shortstop. Wine flips it over to Gary Sutherland for one.

791
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:43,760
And Sutherland wheeled around and fired to the bob Bailey to complete the big DP.

792
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:55,760
All the Cubs in their half of the fourth inning, no runs on no hits, no errors, and nobody left on base.

793
01:24:55,760 --> 01:25:02,760
And don't forget, the Montreal Expo's and St. Louis Cardinals will open a four game series at Jerry Park tomorrow night.

794
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:12,760
Our advice is to get to the TRS location nearest you as quickly as possible because there will be big crowds on hand for that four game series.

795
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:21,760
Starting tomorrow night at Jerry Park in Montreal. Tuesday in Montreal is a holiday. St. Jean-Baptiste.

796
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:28,760
Big parade in the afternoon and people from all over la Belle Provence to Quebec will be heading on the big city.

797
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:37,760
And likely will be taking in the ball game at Jerry Park. So to avoid disappointment, get to the nearest TRS location.

798
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:44,760
Folks, down in the states of course, we've been mentioning over the past few days the new TRS locations.

799
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:54,760
The Vermont Transit line down in Burlington. The Greyhound bus line at Route 3 in Plattsburgh.

800
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:59,760
And also in the Ottawa area.

801
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:11,760
I'd like to remind the folks up in Ottawa that they have ticket locations now. Ticket outlets, TRS outlets, colonial bus lines, 265 Albert Street in Ottawa.

802
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:20,760
Two Miracle Mart locations, 2160 Carling Avenue in the Fairlawn Plaza, and 1595 Maryville Road in Ottawa.

803
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:31,760
And then Montreal can purchase tickets at any of the TRS locations throughout the city. Nice curve by Richie Knight, taken for strike two.

804
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:39,760
On to the count in Bobby Wine. If you're in the downtown area in Montreal tomorrow, then head over to the Dominion Square building at Peel and St. Catherine.

805
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:48,760
There's a TRS ticket booth in the lobby of the Dominion Square building. One and two now on Bobby Wine.

806
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:59,760
Willie Smith playing Wine surprisingly deep and a pull. Bobby doesn't pull as a rule. Outside, two and two the count.

807
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:08,760
Wine hits his shot usually over the bag at second and in the right field.

808
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:15,760
The two and two count is foul right up over the screen.

809
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:25,760
There's also a TRS location, a ticket outlet, at the Montreal Trust counter in the Pas de la Marie shopping promenade.

810
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:33,760
You'll find one in all Stamford Miracle Mart stores in Montreal, Simpson stores downtown and out on the lakeshore in the Fairview Shopping Center,

811
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:41,760
and down in Anjou at the provincial bus terminal, and of course at Jerry Park.

812
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:49,760
Jerry Park's ticket office opens from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. The one in the Dominion Square building from 9 a.m. until 5 30 p.m.

813
01:27:49,760 --> 01:28:01,760
A two and two pitch is foul again and the count remains two and two on Bobby Wine.

814
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:11,760
Dave, you any idea of Gene Mark's pitching rotation for the series in Montreal? Hold it. Line shot left field.

815
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:20,760
Base hit and it gets away from Willie Smith. Wine goes down a second and Mr. Smith will be charged with an error in all likelihood.

816
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:31,760
Dot two base hit. A double for Bobby Wine down the line and left field.

817
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:36,760
And that's a great way to open up an inning. Russ, it's all going to depend on what happens today.

818
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:43,760
If we get to play two games today, Jerry Robertson will probably be the starter against the Cardinals on Monday night.

819
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:52,760
If we don't get this one game in here this afternoon, then Mike Wegener will be going on Monday night.

820
01:28:52,760 --> 01:29:00,760
Dave Justy will start for the Cardinals tomorrow night. Jim Mudcat dread on Tuesday.

821
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:06,760
Bob Gibson on Wednesday and in the afternoon game on Thursday, it'll be Nelson Brials.

822
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:13,760
Brials who beat the Mets yesterday with his arm and his bat hit a home run in that ball game.

823
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:22,760
The pitch, Waslowski lays down a bunt. It's foul along the third baseline. The count is 0-1-1.

824
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:29,760
I said Robertson Monday, didn't I? Yes. I meant Bill Stoneman. Jerry's scheduled to go against Mudcat on Tuesday.

825
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:38,760
Stoneman will go tomorrow, as I say, unless Wegener does not work today. Then Mike Wegener will pitch the opener tomorrow.

826
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:46,760
Again, a reminder to season ticket holders, your ticket for Monday, if you check your ticket you'll find out it's for Tuesday.

827
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:53,760
It says day game. It's not a day game. Tuesday St. Jean-Baptiste. It's a night game. Pop fly.

828
01:29:53,760 --> 01:30:04,760
Ernie Banks is calling for it. In fair territory, takes it.

829
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:12,760
Bobby Wine, the runner on second base. Bobby leading off with a double down the line, then Waslowski.

830
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:18,760
Pop this one up to Ernie Banks.

831
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:23,760
The Dodgers in Cincinnati, 4-0 for the Dodgers, bottom half of the seventh inning.

832
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:28,760
The Giants leading Atlanta 3-0 in the top half of the eighth.

833
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:34,760
The batter is Adolfo Phillips. Adolfo has scored the only X-Bowl run. Only two runs in this ball game.

834
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:41,760
A home run by Willie Smith, the Cubs. And Phillips came home from third in the single by Bob Bailey.

835
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:47,760
Phillips got on with the single in the first inning and stole second. Moved to third in the throwing area by Randy Hundley.

836
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:58,760
Takes the first pitch inside for ball one. Adolfo had to get away from that inside pitch from Richie Nye.

837
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:09,760
5-1 for the Mets over St. Louis, top of the ninth. At Shea Stadium, last chance for the Cardinals.

838
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:19,760
3-2 Boston over New York in the top of the sixth at Fenway Park. Phillips inside again for ball two.

839
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:34,760
Boy, the skies are seen to be threatening right now. I don't see any rain in the area, but the skies are darkening.

840
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:47,760
The pitch is swung on. 4-1. Boy, Adolfo really lunged at that breaking pitch from Richie Nye.

841
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:56,760
Good news for the X-Bowls. The Pirates beat the Phillies 6-0. Ellis the winner. Billy championed the losers.

842
01:31:56,760 --> 01:32:02,760
Pirates six runs on 16 hits in one air. Phillies no runs on six hits in no air.

843
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:14,760
3-1 now to count. Adolfo Phillips.

844
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:20,760
Boy, normally at ballpark if it was this dark they'd have the lights on.

845
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:31,760
The pitch into the dirt and Phillips is on with a walk.

846
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:39,760
Rusty Staub steps in. We have runners on first and second. Bobby Wines on second. Adolfo Phillips is on first base.

847
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:51,760
The batter is Rusty Staub. Rusty is 0-2 this afternoon. Struck out in the first and grounded out short to first in the third inning.

848
01:32:51,760 --> 01:33:04,760
Billy Williams playing south to pole. He's deep in right field. The pitch to Rusty swings out a curve ball and misses for strike one.

849
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:14,760
That pitch from Richie Nye just broke away on Rusty. He came right around on it.

850
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:28,760
So Rusty's got a 0-1 count. Bobby Wine in scoring position on second base. He's got a one-all tie in the top half of the fifth inning.

851
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:37,760
The pitch to Staub. He takes it for strike two.

852
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:45,760
Rusty a little annoyed at himself, steps out of the batter's box, knocks some of the dirt from the plate, now he's back in there again.

853
01:33:45,760 --> 01:34:01,760
Richie Nye with pitches to spare now with Rusty with that 0-2 count. His next pitch is taken for ball one.

854
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:15,760
Rusty batting number two in the order this afternoon and that's the first dive. He has come in above the third spot in the order.

855
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:22,760
Nye checks his runner at second base, pitches to sit on the ground right side of the infield, can't get it out of the right field for a base hit.

856
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:30,760
Here comes Bobby Wine and the X-Bow's lead 2-1. Phillips holds up at third, fakes the run of the plate.

857
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:40,760
When the throw from the outfield got away from first baseman Ernie Banks, Rusty Staub gets the run batted in.

858
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:49,760
Single. Rusty wanted to pull it to the right side of that infield and got it right past second baseman Paul Popovich for a base hit.

859
01:34:49,760 --> 01:35:03,760
Time is called as Joe Becker goes out to talk to Richie Nye and the talk will be goodbye Richie because they're bringing in the right-hander from the bullpen.

860
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:10,760
Here are the scores. Philadelphia took it on the chin, Pirates beat them 6-0. Ellis the winner, champion the loser.

861
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:16,760
New York 5, St. Louis 1 as they go to the ninth at Shea Stadium in the first of a doubleheader.

862
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:24,760
San Francisco leading Atlanta 4-0. Guess who hit his 23rd home run of the year in the eighth inning for the Giants, Russ?

863
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:30,760
Big Willie? You're right, McChubby. That's true too.

864
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:37,760
Los Angeles 4, Cincinnati nothing at the end of seventh. San Diego and Houston scoreless after one.

865
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:41,760
American League, Cleveland beat Baltimore 3-2 in the first game of the twin build.

866
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:45,760
Detroit leads Washington 2-1 after three and a half of their first game.

867
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:56,760
Boston 3, New York 2 at the end of five at Fenway Park.

868
01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:16,760
Well in the time he worked, the four and two-thirds innings, one-third inning he worked, Richie Nye gave up six hits, was tagged for two runs.

869
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:26,760
One batter, that was the walk to it all fulfilled here in the fifth inning.

870
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:33,760
And recorded three strikeouts. That's Richie Nye's contribution to the Cup cause this afternoon.

871
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:42,760
Expo leading this ballgame 2-1 on that fine single by Rusty Stobbs at right field, bringing in Bobby Wyde from second base.

872
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:52,760
Ted Abernathy with his familiar submarine slant, now warming up for the Cup.

873
01:36:52,760 --> 01:37:06,760
Take a look at Abernathy's record. He's got a four and one, one loss record, one four loss one, appeared in 27 ballgames, pitched 41-1 in one-third innings.

874
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:15,760
Has an ERA of 1.97. Boy that's pretty impressive.

875
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:24,760
And he'll be pitching to Gary Sutherland.

876
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:29,760
Stobbs is looking for his first hit of the afternoon, he's 0 for 2.

877
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:33,760
Hitting 2-42 for the Expos.

878
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:37,760
Stobbs on first base, Adolfo Phillips on third.

879
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,760
Expos leading 2-1.

880
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:49,760
And we're in the top half of the fifth inning.

881
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:57,760
The pitch from Abernathy is inside for ball one.

882
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:01,760
Willie Smith playing Sutherland very deep in left field.

883
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:09,760
Billy Williams has come in a bit in right field, and Don Young in center has moved over toward the left center field power side.

884
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:12,760
Left center field.

885
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:20,760
The pitch hit in the right field, Billy Williams on the run for it, takes it, here comes the runner, Phillips from third and he'll score.

886
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:30,760
The Expos lead 3-1. Fine sacrifice by Gary Sutherland.

887
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:35,760
So give Gary Sutherland a run batted in.

888
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:39,760
And for Gary that's 14 RBIs now.

889
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:48,760
Rusty Stobbs has 22 runs batted in, the leader is Mac Jones with 39.

890
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:54,760
Phillips comes in on the sacrifice fly.

891
01:38:54,760 --> 01:39:01,760
Expos leading 3-1, Bob Bailey the batter. That runner of course belongs to Richie Nye.

892
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,760
And so does Rusty Stobbs at second base.

893
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:09,760
The underhand delivery is low for ball one to Bob Bailey.

894
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:14,760
Bailey knocked in the first Expo run in the first inning, bringing in Adolfo Phillips from third.

895
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:21,760
So Phillips has been on base twice and has scored twice against his old club, the Chicago Cubs.

896
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:25,760
Yes, that makes Adolfo happy.

897
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:31,760
And likewise, Mr. Jim Fanning.

898
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:38,760
Who negotiated that freeway trade.

899
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:46,760
With the Dodgers, allowing Popovich to go to the Cubs.

900
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:52,760
To an open fly ball out into left center field, going way back on it all.

901
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:58,760
It's now a home run for Bob Bailey, his first of the year.

902
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:02,760
Oh, big Bob really nailed that one.

903
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,760
Two more Expo runs.

904
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:08,760
And they lead this ball game 5-1.

905
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:15,760
The entire Expo dug it up to congratulate Bob Bailey on his first home run of the year.

906
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:23,760
Well, Dave, we were saying the other day that Bob Bailey was overdue for the long one.

907
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:33,760
He sure was, and he picked it up at a great time here in this ball game here in the fifth, his third RBI of the afternoon.

908
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:36,760
The pitch to Coco Laboy has popped up in the air.

909
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:42,760
Ernie Banks is moving over near the wall, and foul territory takes it.

910
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:45,760
And the Expo's are out of there.

911
01:40:45,760 --> 01:41:00,760
But in the top half of the fifth inning, they picked up three runs, four runs on three hits.

912
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:06,760
No Chicago errors, and thanks to Bob Bailey, nobody slipped on.

913
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:14,760
And the score, going into the bottom half of the fifth inning, 5-1 for the Expo.

914
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:16,760
Now we'll look at the scoreboard again.

915
01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:24,760
In the American League, the Boston game with the New York Yankees at Fenway Park is now in the sixth inning.

916
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:33,760
Boston leading 3-2, Conigliaro and Petrocelli with home runs in the fourth, bringing the Red Sox from behind

917
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,760
and putting them out in front 3-2.

918
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:38,760
They're now in the sixth.

919
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:42,760
The one final, first game of a doubleheader, Cleveland beat Baltimore 3-2.

920
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:45,760
Sam McDowell the winner, Dick Hall the loser.

921
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:50,760
Tony Horton and Vern Fuller hit home runs for Cleveland in that ball game.

922
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:52,760
They have another game to go.

923
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:57,760
Washington's at Detroit for its win bill in the first game, 2-1 Detroit.

924
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:02,760
And I don't know what's happened to that ball game, but we haven't had a scorer come in on the bottom of that fourth

925
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:07,760
in a long time, and we'll just check the wire quickly here to see if we've had any further word.

926
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:12,760
Well, finally, it's come in and Detroit did not score in the bottom of the fourth.

927
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:21,760
So they're now in the fifth, 2-1 Tigers lead the Senators.

928
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:25,760
Bottom half of the fifth inning, and we'll be looking at the top of the Chicago order,

929
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:29,760
Don Kessinger, Paul Popovich, and Billy Williams.

930
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:36,760
Kessinger got on with a walk in the first inning, then was thrown out trying to steal second by John Bacabella.

931
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:38,760
Bacabella to Bobby Wine.

932
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:43,760
In the second inning, Kessinger flied out the center field.

933
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:50,760
X-Bow's leading 5-1, bottom of the fifth.

934
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:56,760
And once the bottom of the fifth is over, it becomes an official ball game.

935
01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:03,760
That rain should come and cancel out the rest of it, but there's no actual sign of the rain,

936
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:07,760
although skies are overcast and threatening.

937
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:10,760
From our location, I don't see any rain falling.

938
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:16,760
And since there are no umbrellas up, well, you've got to presume that it's not.

939
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:21,760
On the ground, out of Sutherland, over to Bailey, and Don Kessinger's out of there.

940
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:26,760
Gary Weswinski's still on the hill for the X-Bow.

941
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,760
Gary has given up only three hits.

942
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:33,760
A big one was a home run to Willie Smith in the second inning.

943
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:39,760
After that, Randy Hundley had a single, and Ron Sando had a single.

944
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:43,760
Ken Henderson just hit his fourth home run of the year for San Francisco in the eighth inning.

945
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:48,760
They now lead Atlanta 5-0 with the Braves batting in the bottom of the eighth.

946
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:52,760
Ken Henderson was a young fellow who was bad news for the X-Bows,

947
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:58,760
and Dan McGinn in one of those games at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

948
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,760
But the news is good here in Chicago this afternoon.

949
01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,760
The X-Bows are out in front by four runs.

950
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:06,760
Two and 0 to count.

951
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:11,760
On Paul Popovich, Popovich walked in the first inning and popped out

952
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:16,760
to first baseman Bob Bailey in the third.

953
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:21,760
Weswinski delivers his 2-0 pitch in there for call strike one.

954
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:25,760
Ball three, pardon me, outside.

955
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:31,760
The big left arm of Stan Landis.

956
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,760
Three and 0, and here's the next one.

957
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,760
Fast ball right down the middle for strike one.

958
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:40,760
Three and 1 to count on Popovich.

959
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:45,760
Those giant home runs by McCovey and Henderson were off Gary Neibauer, who came on in relief.

960
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:49,760
And here's Paul Ramon now pitching the night for Atlanta.

961
01:44:49,760 --> 01:45:01,760
Three and 1 pitch is high inside, and Popovich is on with his second walk of the afternoon.

962
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:09,760
That is the sixth walk issued by Gary Weswinski.

963
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:15,760
Billy Williams flied out to Rusty Stobb in the first and walked in the third inning.

964
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:19,760
That fly ball to Rusty Stobb was right against the wall in right field.

965
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:27,760
And for a few seconds, a lot of us thought that it was going to go over or against the wall.

966
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:33,760
Stobb had to go right back into the corner, pull it down 353 feet away.

967
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:37,760
The pitch to Williams is low, and the count is one and 0.

968
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:42,760
One ball and no strikes on Billy Williams.

969
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,760
Williams getting 298 for the Cubs.

970
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:55,760
Billy has hit eight home runs, fouled at four triples and 15 doubles.

971
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:57,760
And he's dangerous.

972
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:15,760
He fouled that next pitch along the first baseline where it's picked up by Ronnie Brand in the Expo Bowl Band.

973
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:29,760
One ball and one strike on Billy Williams.

974
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:33,760
Two and one, two balls and a strike.

975
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:38,760
Outfield playing Billy Williams deep, especially Stobb in right field,

976
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:46,760
and center fielder Adolfo Phillips.

977
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:51,760
Expo is leading 5-1 in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

978
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:55,760
Don Shaw, who came in with some clutch release pitching.

979
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:59,760
Line shot out the glove of Bob Bailey down the line into right field.

980
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:03,760
Popovich makes the turn at second base, will go in the third standing up,

981
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:23,760
and Williams is on first with a single.

982
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:27,760
With one away, the Cubs have runners on first and third,

983
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:33,760
and the ever dangerous Ron Santo stepping in.

984
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:39,760
Santo, hitting 291, has been a big hero for the Cubs this afternoon,

985
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:46,760
with three sparkling plays defensively at third, and Ron has had one hit.

986
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:50,760
He's had one of the four hits off Gary Wasielewski.

987
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:59,760
Ron Santo, Santo hitting 291, has 12 home runs, 53 runs batted in.

988
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:05,760
Oh, big Gary's got to be careful with Ron Santo.

989
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:18,760
Santo with one swing of his bat can reduce that Expo lead very quickly,

990
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:23,760
taking a 5-4 ball game. It's 5-1 right now,

991
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:27,760
and we've got two runners on, Paul Popovich at third base,

992
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:33,760
and Billy Williams at first.

993
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,760
Wasielewski checks his runners, delivers, it's on the ground,

994
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,760
down the outclass body, wide out of the left field for a base hit.

995
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:45,760
Williams is coming out of third, standing up, Popovich is in the score.

996
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:50,760
Ron Santo delivers a good outpass shortstop on the ground,

997
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:56,760
pass Bobby White into center field.

998
01:48:56,760 --> 01:49:00,760
Now we've got the big fellow, Dick Rowlitz, warming up,

999
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:08,760
along with Don Shaw in the Expo bullpen.

1000
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:29,760
And this brings up the mayor of Wrigley Field, Ernie Banks.

1001
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:31,760
First and third are the runners.

1002
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:38,760
Williams on third, Santo on first, and Ernie Banks is the batter.

1003
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:42,760
There's that big hole between short and second base,

1004
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:44,760
as they expect Banks to pull it.

1005
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,760
Wasielewski would like him to hit it on the ground.

1006
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:56,760
We'll see what happens. Wings and misses, four strike one.

1007
01:49:56,760 --> 01:50:01,760
The Cubs coming alive, Expo's leading this game 5-2,

1008
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:10,760
with one out in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

1009
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:17,760
All in one to count, and Ernie Banks, the next pitch is low for ball one.

1010
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:22,760
Banks has hit 12 home runs this year.

1011
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:32,760
He has knocked in 59 runs.

1012
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:35,760
One-on-one.

1013
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:41,760
The crowd cheering for action for a big hit from their hero.

1014
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:46,760
Wasielewski looking down at Bocabella, gets his sign, now checks his runner.

1015
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:51,760
The pitch to the bank, line shot, left field base hit, another run.

1016
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:55,760
Santo holds up at second base,

1017
01:50:55,760 --> 01:51:09,760
and you can make that 60 runs batted in this year for Ernie Banks.

1018
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:15,760
Here comes Gene Mock.

1019
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:24,760
Willie Smith coming up, they most certainly will bring in a left-hander.

1020
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:30,760
It'll be Don Shaw, I believe. Shaw came in and pitched that great relief job yesterday,

1021
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:35,760
is coming in from the bullpen to pitch to Willie Smith.

1022
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:39,760
That will be all for Gary Wasielewski.

1023
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:42,760
Boy, that was a solid smash by Ernie Banks out in the left field.

1024
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:47,760
It most sounded out of second, and brought in Billy Williams from third

1025
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:52,760
with the third sub run of the afternoon, the second of the inning.

1026
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:55,760
Expo still lead this ball game five to three,

1027
01:51:55,760 --> 01:52:01,760
but the Cubs really have a rally going here in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

1028
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:05,760
Don Shaw coming in.

1029
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:12,760
Gary Wasielewski gave up three successive singles in the fifth inning.

1030
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:18,760
Gary has given up six hits, has been tagged for three runs,

1031
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:22,760
and the two men on belong to Gary Wasielewski.

1032
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:33,760
He walked six batters and struck out two.

1033
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:41,760
We've got one out, so Wasielewski pitched four and one third innings.

1034
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:45,760
Now, DeRosha's going to take the left-hand hitter Willie Smith out of there

1035
01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:49,760
and bring a right-hand hitter in, Jim Hickman,

1036
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:54,760
who came into yesterday's ball game as a pinch hitter for the right fielder Al Spangler,

1037
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:55,760
a left-hand hitter.

1038
01:52:55,760 --> 01:53:01,760
So Jim Hickman will come on the bat for Willie Smith.

1039
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:07,760
Hickman hitting 194.

1040
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:12,760
Hickman, a big fellow, right-hand hitter to face Don Shaw.

1041
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,760
Shaw has completed his warm-up pitches,

1042
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:29,760
and we're all set to resume play in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

1043
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:37,760
Hickman was used as a pinch hitter in the ninth yesterday against Don Shaw,

1044
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:40,760
and Shaw got him to ground out.

1045
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:44,760
So let's see what Don Shaw can do on the hill for the X-Balls.

1046
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:49,760
In the bottom of the fifth, the first pitch to Hickman is low, over ball one.

1047
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:55,760
The runners are Ron Sandowich second, Ernie Banks at first base.

1048
01:53:55,760 --> 01:54:00,760
Cubs have scored two runs here in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

1049
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:07,760
X-Balls lead 5-3.

1050
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:12,760
Sandowich got a long lead-off second.

1051
01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:15,760
The pitch to Hickman is taken for a strike.

1052
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:29,760
One-on-one mccount.

1053
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:33,760
Shaw has appeared in 21 ball games for the X-Balls.

1054
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:36,760
He's getting a lot of work, and boy, has this fellow Don Shaw ever developed

1055
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:39,760
into a fine-release pitcher for the X-Balls.

1056
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:42,760
On the ground, oh, a great stop by Coco Laboy.

1057
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,760
Down a second for one.

1058
01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:48,760
Oh, a fine stop by Coco Laboy.

1059
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:52,760
He dove into the dirt and grabbed that one.

1060
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:57,760
It seemed like a sure hit by Jim Hickman.

1061
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:01,760
Oh, that was a fantastic stop by Coco Laboy.

1062
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:03,760
Sandowich moves on to third base.

1063
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:09,760
Coco was down, flat on his tummy.

1064
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:12,760
After stabbing that one, no way he can get Sandowich.

1065
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:17,760
So he went over with a long throw to second base to get one anyway.

1066
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:24,760
Erasing Ernie Banks.

1067
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:36,760
He's always got two out, and the batter is Randy Hunley.

1068
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:41,760
Banks with a race five to four, third to second.

1069
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:44,760
The pitch to Hunley hit on the ground out of Gary Sutherland.

1070
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:50,760
Studs up with it over to first, and the X-Balls are out of his inning.

1071
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,760
Hunley grounds up, second to first.

1072
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:58,760
For the X-Balls, or rather for the Cubs, in their half of the fifth inning,

1073
01:55:58,760 --> 01:56:06,760
they picked up two runs on three hits, no X-Balls errors, and two men were left stranded.

1074
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:11,760
The score, after five complete innings of play, five to three for the X-Balls.

1075
01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:17,760
They go to the top half of the sixth inning with the X-Balls leading five to three.

1076
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:22,760
Jim Hickman will stay in the ball game, play left field for the Cubs,

1077
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:25,760
and for right field, Billy Williams has moved over to left.

1078
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:27,760
Don Young remains in center field.

1079
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,760
The batter is Jose Herrera.

1080
01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:37,760
Ted Abernathy, in relief of Richie Nye, on the hill for the Cubs, delivers his first pitch,

1081
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:43,760
and it's barreled into the dirt in front of home plate.

1082
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:51,760
0-1 on Herrera.

1083
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:56,760
The Bleacher fans standing up, give a fine hand to Jim Hickman,

1084
01:56:56,760 --> 01:57:01,760
and Hickman also trots over to help some fans who've dropped something out on the field.

1085
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:08,760
Ron Fairley was telling us before today's game how he hates to play here at Wrigley Field at times.

1086
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,760
He said, those Bleacher rights really give you a hard time.

1087
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:13,760
They use you as a target.

1088
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:14,760
I'll tell you more about it later.

1089
01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:23,760
On the ground of Saddle, go to first, and Herrera's out.

1090
01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:25,760
Herrera goes down five to three.

1091
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:35,760
Fairley says the game that they play is to see which fan can get nearest to the batter without hitting him with things.

1092
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:42,760
Ron says that he's been felted with batteries with all kinds of debris.

1093
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:52,760
But he says the game that they actually play is not to hit the outfielder, but to come close.

1094
01:57:52,760 --> 01:58:02,760
John Bacabella swings at the first pitch from Ted Abernathy and misses for strike one.

1095
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:04,760
Well, I don't know about the throwing of the debris.

1096
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:13,760
Of course, that's frowned upon in any sport, hockey, of course, and the ice and baseball on the field of play.

1097
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:17,760
A lot of the fans have a great time, and boy, they're having a great time here at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

1098
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:19,760
Very colorful crowd.

1099
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:23,760
The count is now one and one on Bacabella.

1100
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:26,760
Boy, you see signs all over the ballpark.

1101
01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:28,760
The one and one pitch was low.

1102
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:30,760
The count becomes two and one.

1103
01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:36,760
Here, for those of you who have been to Wrigley Field, to give you an idea of how overcast it is here,

1104
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:41,760
the buildings that we're looking at, you can't see the tops of the buildings.

1105
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:46,760
Really a dark, overcast afternoon.

1106
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:54,760
The two-and-one pitch is fouled to the right, up into the top deck.

1107
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:57,760
Two balls and two strikes.

1108
01:58:57,760 --> 01:58:59,760
Bacabella is 0-2.

1109
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:03,760
It's struck out in the second and fly it out to right field.

1110
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:06,760
Big Boc is hitting 1-40.

1111
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:10,760
One home run and two doubles.

1112
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:15,760
Next pitch is popped again out of play.

1113
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:22,760
Two and two to count.

1114
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:26,760
Boy, we've said this a number of times now.

1115
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:31,760
Wrigley is going to be a very popular figure with the fans of Jerry Park.

1116
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:37,760
We were asking Ron if, you know, he intends to aim for that right field fence.

1117
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:40,760
You know, they have that jet alley or that jet stream.

1118
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:45,760
Boy, a hard-hit ball by Bacabella out in the left field.

1119
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:50,760
It's pulled down by Billy Williams, but Big John got good wood on that one.

1120
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:52,760
Long five-all.

1121
01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:54,760
Williams didn't have to move for it.

1122
01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:57,760
Bacabella pretty deep in left field.

1123
01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:01,760
Bobby Wine at a double.

1124
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,760
In the fifth inning, and he's up now.

1125
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:06,760
Bobby is 1-2.

1126
02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:10,760
Quarter run in that X-bow rally in the fifth.

1127
02:00:10,760 --> 02:00:13,760
Fouls the first pitch and catches it himself.

1128
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:17,760
Hands it over to Big Stan Landis.

1129
02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:25,760
Look the ball over.

1130
02:00:25,760 --> 02:00:33,760
Hands it to Randy Hundley or a new ball and throws the reject away.

1131
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:40,760
All in one to count on Bobby Wine.

1132
02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:44,760
The pitch, it misses for ball one.

1133
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:45,760
One ball and one strike.

1134
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:49,760
They've got a pretty good crowd here today, considering the threatening weather.

1135
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:53,760
Had it been perfect, the report was it would have been a sellout.

1136
02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:55,760
Strike three, swinging.

1137
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:57,760
Wine is out.

1138
02:00:57,760 --> 02:01:02,760
Oh, strike two.

1139
02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:08,760
Bobby had that dejected look when he went around on that pitch.

1140
02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:11,760
On the ground, pass down, a base hit out in the left field.

1141
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:13,760
Wine's second single of the afternoon.

1142
02:01:13,760 --> 02:01:23,760
He's got a try for two, and he's in there with his second double.

1143
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:27,760
Bobby Wine at double.

1144
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:31,760
Down the line and left.

1145
02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:34,760
Boy, he's been a surprise, Dave, with that bat of his.

1146
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:37,760
Really came through in San Francisco.

1147
02:01:37,760 --> 02:01:38,760
Bobby really has.

1148
02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:43,760
He's been very pleased with his hitting.

1149
02:01:43,760 --> 02:01:48,760
Manager Gene Mock, needless to say, is very happy about the job that Bobby Wine has done at the plate.

1150
02:01:48,760 --> 02:01:51,760
And as Gene was pointing out again when we talked to him last night, Russ,

1151
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:59,760
remember that Bobby Wine has not played that much baseball in the last couple of years.

1152
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:04,760
Abernathy delivers to Don Shaw who takes the call, strike one.

1153
02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:14,760
Missed all of last season, so Bobby has really had only 21 games under his belt.

1154
02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:18,760
He's been complaining that his shipment of bats hasn't arrived.

1155
02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:23,760
It's been long overdue from Louisville, the Louisville Slugger people.

1156
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:30,760
I said to him yesterday in the dugout, why complain, Bobby, the way those hits are coming off, the bats are using.

1157
02:02:30,760 --> 02:02:32,760
Don't change it.

1158
02:02:32,760 --> 02:02:37,760
Count is now 0-2 on Don Shaw.

1159
02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:48,760
Abernathy looks towards second, delivers the 0-2 pitch, and Shaw strikes out.

1160
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:55,760
All the Expos in the sixth inning, no runs on one hit, no errors by the Cubs, one man left on.

1161
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:57,760
Going to the bottom of the sixth.

1162
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:00,760
Expos leading 5-3.

1163
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:03,760
Let's take a look now at the scores that are just in.

1164
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:12,760
It's Boston 3-New York 2 with Boston batting in the bottom of the eighth at Fenway Park, the first of two games.

1165
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:15,760
The batteries are in on the game out at California.

1166
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:19,760
Chicago and the Angels win against McLaughlin.

1167
02:03:19,760 --> 02:03:25,760
Baltimore and Cleveland are scoreless in their second game after the Indians won the first one, 3-2.

1168
02:03:25,760 --> 02:03:31,760
Pittsburgh scored two runs in the first inning against the Phillies in their second game after winning the first one, 6-0.

1169
02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:33,760
The Phillies now batting.

1170
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:38,760
Those two runs came on Willie Stargell's tenth home run of the year.

1171
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:43,760
San Diego and Houston are scoreless after four innings in the Astrodome.

1172
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:51,760
And a final score, Los Angeles 5, Cincinnati nothing, a five-hitter by Bill Singer, Tony Cloninger the loser.

1173
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:55,760
The first game of a doubleheader, right, first of two.

1174
02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:57,760
Singer over Cloninger.

1175
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:05,760
Dodgers win it 5-0.

1176
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:15,760
In the bottom half of the sixth inning, it'll be Don Young, likely a pinch hitter for Abernathy.

1177
02:04:15,760 --> 02:04:23,760
I say likely, we don't know yet, there's a man warming up in the bullpen for the Cubs.

1178
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:38,760
Looks like Phil Regan warming up for Chicago out of the bullpen in left field.

1179
02:04:38,760 --> 02:04:42,760
So it's Don Young facing Don Shaw.

1180
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:47,760
The pitch accidentally hits Young's bat, he didn't want to go for it.

1181
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:58,760
Sort of his body went for the pitch, but his bat didn't, but got in the way of that pitch from Don Shaw.

1182
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:01,760
The fellow picking up the bat is Gene Oliver.

1183
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:07,760
He's been around baseball a long time with a lot of clubs.

1184
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:13,760
Strike two, iron pitch from Shaw.

1185
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:17,760
Oliver a right-hand batter.

1186
02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:23,760
We saw him in Montreal, he was in with a number of teams, including the Rochester Red Wings.

1187
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:28,760
Inside to Young, the count is one and two.

1188
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:32,760
Outfield playing Young almost straight away, with the exception of Phillips,

1189
02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:38,760
he shaded over toward left field slightly, toward left center field.

1190
02:05:38,760 --> 02:05:41,760
High and outside for ball two.

1191
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:47,760
Orlando Cepeda spoiled Juan Marichal's bid for a shutout, hitting a home run in the ninth.

1192
02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:49,760
The Giants beat the Braves five to one.

1193
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:51,760
Marichal now nine and two on the year.

1194
02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:54,760
Pappas was the loser, four and seven.

1195
02:05:54,760 --> 02:05:57,760
The two and two pitch.

1196
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:06,760
Strike three, call, a beautiful pitch from Don Shaw just hooked right in there.

1197
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:13,760
Boy, this fellow Shaw has come a long way since about a month ago, a month and a half ago.

1198
02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:26,760
Gene Oliver, a pinch hitter, steps in, hitting for Abernathy.

1199
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:32,760
We're in the bottom half of the sixth inning, Expo leading this ball game, five to three.

1200
02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:40,760
Two-run lead, and the fellow trying to protect that two-run lead is Don Shaw, the left-hander.

1201
02:06:40,760 --> 02:06:46,760
Don Shaw will go down in history as the first winning pitcher for the Expo.

1202
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:54,760
Strike two, strike one, one-on-one the count.

1203
02:06:54,760 --> 02:07:00,760
He won it in relief at Shea Stadium in New York.

1204
02:07:00,760 --> 02:07:02,760
What a ball game that was.

1205
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:07,760
The one-on-one pitch is taken for ball two.

1206
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:10,760
Russ, the Mets beat the Cardinals five to one.

1207
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:13,760
Gentry the winner, Carlton the loser.

1208
02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:17,760
First game of a double-header.

1209
02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:22,760
Now that victory could hurt the Cubs if the Expos beat them.

1210
02:07:22,760 --> 02:07:27,760
Strike, beautiful pitch from Don Shaw right off the table.

1211
02:07:27,760 --> 02:07:32,760
It just sank after hitting the front of that strike zone.

1212
02:07:32,760 --> 02:07:36,760
Oliver didn't like the call, neither did the crowd here at Wrigley Field.

1213
02:07:36,760 --> 02:07:39,760
Swings at the dirt with his bat.

1214
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:41,760
Now he's back in there.

1215
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:48,760
Two balls and two strikes and pinch hitter Gene Oliver in the bottom of the sixth with one out, nobody on.

1216
02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:57,760
Don Shaw into his motion, a two-and-two pitch, breaks low under the knees for ball three, full count.

1217
02:07:57,760 --> 02:08:05,760
Regan continues to warm up, so we'll be looking at Phil Regan, the former Dodger,

1218
02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:08,760
fellow accused of throwing the Vaseline pitch.

1219
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:16,760
We'll be seeing him in the top half of the seventh inning.

1220
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:22,760
He looks down at Bacabella, gets the sign, delivers a three-and-two pitch, strike three, swinging.

1221
02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:27,760
And pinch hitter Gene Oliver is out of there.

1222
02:08:27,760 --> 02:08:37,760
Don Shaw, since coming in to the ball game in the fifth inning, has retired four in a row.

1223
02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:44,760
Don Kessinger, the leadoff man, a switch hitter, will bat right-handed against the left-hander Don Shaw.

1224
02:08:44,760 --> 02:08:53,760
Phillips not too deep in center field, and Stobb is in shallow right field.

1225
02:08:53,760 --> 02:09:00,760
The pitch, fly ball, center field, here comes Phillips, can't get it, he traps the ball, base hit.

1226
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:11,760
Adolf will need a fine try at it, try to dive and make a shoestring catch, but he trapped it, and Kessinger is on with a single.

1227
02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:19,760
Adolfo has the book on Don Kessinger.

1228
02:09:19,760 --> 02:09:28,760
He played him pretty well on that. He came in, luckily that he did come in to play sort of a short center field.

1229
02:09:28,760 --> 02:09:40,760
On the ground, LeBoy, sort of first, and Paul Popovich is out of there, and so are the Cubs.

1230
02:09:40,760 --> 02:09:49,760
Chicago, no runs on one hit, no expo errors, one man left on.

1231
02:09:49,760 --> 02:09:56,760
After six complete innings of play, it's still five to three for the Expos over the Cubs.

1232
02:09:56,760 --> 02:10:03,760
For the Cardinals series, good crowds are expected, you want to get some good seats and be at Jerry Park.

1233
02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:10,760
As the team returns from this long home stand beginning tomorrow night, an 8-0-5 game at Jerry Park.

1234
02:10:10,760 --> 02:10:17,760
Taking a look now at some new TRS locations for the fans in the Ottawa area.

1235
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:28,760
Colonial Bus Lines, 265 Albert Avenue, and at two Miracle Mart locations, 2160 Carling Avenue in the Fairlawn Plaza, and at 1595 Marivale Road.

1236
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:35,760
There's also a new TRS location in Burlington, Vermont at Vermont Transit Lines.

1237
02:10:35,760 --> 02:10:41,760
We'd also like to take a moment to mention again, season ticket holders.

1238
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:58,760
Remember, Tuesday is a night game, your tickets are marked as an afternoon game, but Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are all 8-0-5 games with the Cardinals, and then a 4-0-5 game on Thursday.

1239
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:10,760
Here's the line score after six complete innings of play, Expos five runs on eight hits and no errors, the Cubs two runs on six hits and one error.

1240
02:11:10,760 --> 02:11:13,760
The throwing error by Randy Hunley.

1241
02:11:13,760 --> 02:11:19,760
And we've got a new man on the hill for Chicago, right-hander Phil Regan.

1242
02:11:19,760 --> 02:11:31,760
And fans who have seen Phil Regan pitch down through the years, and those who saw him pitch at Jerry Park earlier this year on the Cubs visit to Montreal, notice that he's got a lot of crazy motion.

1243
02:11:31,760 --> 02:11:44,760
And this is what the batters have to deal with, among other things, is that crazy motion of his, like he'll throw very quickly, but the ball won't come out so quickly.

1244
02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:51,760
Next time the Cubs get to Montreal and Regan pitches, you'll see what I mean if you haven't seen it already.

1245
02:11:51,760 --> 02:11:57,760
All right, Dave Van Horn is all set for the play-by-play of the next three innings, Dave.

1246
02:11:57,760 --> 02:12:05,760
Regan had some fine years at Detroit, then at Los Angeles, 66 through 68, lifetime ERA of 3.77.

1247
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:08,760
Pitch popped up, third base side foul territory.

1248
02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:14,760
Santo has it, Phillips retired.

1249
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:16,760
One away.

1250
02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:18,760
Rusty Stobb, one for three.

1251
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:20,760
He'll be the batter.

1252
02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:24,760
Regan is seven and five.

1253
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:33,760
This is his 31st appearance as a 3.67 earned run average.

1254
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:37,760
Exposed leading here, five to three.

1255
02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:40,760
We're in the top of the seventh.

1256
02:12:40,760 --> 02:12:42,760
One out, none on.

1257
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:48,760
The pitch to Stobb inside, ball one.

1258
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:53,760
Bill Williams in left, Don Young in center, Jim Hickman in right field.

1259
02:12:53,760 --> 02:12:58,760
Around the infield, Santo at third, Kassinger at short.

1260
02:12:58,760 --> 02:13:01,760
Second baseman Paul Popovich at first.

1261
02:13:01,760 --> 02:13:04,760
Ernie Banks protecting the line against Stobb, this left-hand hitter.

1262
02:13:04,760 --> 02:13:07,760
Regan deals low.

1263
02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:09,760
Ball two, two and nothing to Rusty.

1264
02:13:09,760 --> 02:13:13,760
On deck will be Gary Sutherland.

1265
02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:18,760
All kinds of things happening with the Dodgers right now leading the Western Division.

1266
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:23,760
They beat Cincinnati five to nothing, a five hitter by Bill Singer in San Francisco beat Atlanta five to one.

1267
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:26,760
Marischal winning.

1268
02:13:26,760 --> 02:13:30,760
The pitch, swung on, lifted high and foul, back to the right.

1269
02:13:30,760 --> 02:13:38,760
That Phil Regan will drive you crazy trying to figure him out with all the twitching, all the movements that he undergoes there on the hill,

1270
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:45,760
gives a hitch to his trousers, plugs at his cap, shrugs his shoulders, hitches all over.

1271
02:13:45,760 --> 02:13:52,760
Look at that herky-jerky delivery.

1272
02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:58,760
Pittsburgh beat the Phillies six-nothing. That's good news for us.

1273
02:13:58,760 --> 02:14:08,760
Here's the pitch to Rusty. Fast ball right down the pipe. Two balls, two strikes.

1274
02:14:08,760 --> 02:14:13,760
Chicago is disappearing right under our noses here, Russ.

1275
02:14:13,760 --> 02:14:17,760
You mean the city of Chicago, not the cup.

1276
02:14:17,760 --> 02:14:23,760
The city, the city of Chicago.

1277
02:14:23,760 --> 02:14:32,760
The weatherman's doing his disappearing act and he's taking the whole city with him.

1278
02:14:32,760 --> 02:14:38,760
This is the first of two here this afternoon.

1279
02:14:38,760 --> 02:14:44,760
Here's the pitch. A change is fouled back into the screen behind the plate. Count is still two and two to Rusty.

1280
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:49,760
Exposed scored a run in the first. Willie Smith tied it up with a home run in the second.

1281
02:14:49,760 --> 02:14:57,760
It was a one-one ball game till the fifth. The Exposed exploded for four runs on three hits, chased the starting Rich Nye, took a five to one lead.

1282
02:14:57,760 --> 02:15:04,760
Cubs came back, got two runs in the bottom of the fifth and chased Waszlowski.

1283
02:15:04,760 --> 02:15:09,760
Five to three here in the top of the seventh. Sutherland on deck, stop at the plate.

1284
02:15:09,760 --> 02:15:14,760
Here's the two-two pitch. Swung on, high hopper, banks waiting. He gloves it.

1285
02:15:14,760 --> 02:15:19,760
Clips to the pitcher covering in time to get Rusty.

1286
02:15:19,760 --> 02:15:27,760
Two away. The batter will be Gary Sutherland. Gary is 0 for 2 with a sacrifice fly that scored a run in the fifth.

1287
02:15:27,760 --> 02:15:33,760
Bob Bailey's driven in three runs here today, had a two-run homer in the fifth.

1288
02:15:33,760 --> 02:15:39,760
Rusty Stobb has the other RBI with a base hit in the fifth.

1289
02:15:39,760 --> 02:15:46,760
Bobby Wines gone two for three. Bailey is three for three.

1290
02:15:46,760 --> 02:15:52,760
Here's Gary now.

1291
02:15:52,760 --> 02:15:59,760
The windup in pitch is low inside, ball one. Gary popped up to Kessinger in the first, flied out to Young in center in the fourth.

1292
02:15:59,760 --> 02:16:08,760
It is sacrifice fly down the right field line in the fifth.

1293
02:16:08,760 --> 02:16:24,760
Stan Landis, the plate umpire, giving a little warning over to the Expos dugout for something.

1294
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:31,760
Here's the 1-0. A check swing. The pitch is low and outside for ball two. Two balls and nothing.

1295
02:16:31,760 --> 02:16:38,760
I don't know whether the Expos are on Landis, Reagan, or maybe both of them.

1296
02:16:38,760 --> 02:16:42,760
The now mayor of Cajos, Frank D. Colabotolo.

1297
02:16:42,760 --> 02:16:49,760
I also spoke with Lawrence Fabro, the executive secretary to the mayor.

1298
02:16:49,760 --> 02:16:54,760
Phil comes on to log a three-up, three-down inning.

1299
02:16:54,760 --> 02:16:58,760
First time the Expos have been retired one, two, three since the third.

1300
02:16:58,760 --> 02:17:04,760
At the end of six and a half here at Wrigley Field, Montreal five, the Cubs three.

1301
02:17:04,760 --> 02:17:10,760
While we're moving into the Cubs half of the seventh inning, the Expos still leading this ball game five to three.

1302
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:15,760
They got one run in the first. Cubs tied it up at one-all on the bottom of the second inning.

1303
02:17:15,760 --> 02:17:19,760
Another home run by Willie Smith into the left field ledger seat.

1304
02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:29,760
Then the Expos broke loose for four runs in the top half of fifth inning, including a two-run homer from Bob Bailey.

1305
02:17:29,760 --> 02:17:33,760
And the Cubs came back with two runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning.

1306
02:17:33,760 --> 02:17:40,760
Here's Dave. Williams fouls one over and out Patano's head in the first base coaching box.

1307
02:17:40,760 --> 02:17:46,760
Strike one. Billy Williams, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks.

1308
02:17:46,760 --> 02:17:54,760
Don Shaw came on in the fifth, replacing starter Gary Wazlowski.

1309
02:17:54,760 --> 02:17:58,760
Don got a save here yesterday.

1310
02:17:58,760 --> 02:18:01,760
The Expos three to two win over the Cubs.

1311
02:18:01,760 --> 02:18:12,760
Bich is cut on and the bounder goes to Bailey. Bob was up with it to Shaw in time. Whoa, brother. Bob Bailey put himself in front of that ball.

1312
02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:18,760
No doubt about the fact Bob was going to knock it down, but for just an instant he couldn't find the handle on the ball.

1313
02:18:18,760 --> 02:18:22,760
Recovered in time to get it to Shaw, who covered first.

1314
02:18:22,760 --> 02:18:29,760
Williams retired.

1315
02:18:29,760 --> 02:18:35,760
Well, here is Ron Santo. Santo is two for three.

1316
02:18:35,760 --> 02:18:39,760
He normally will hit that ball to the left side.

1317
02:18:39,760 --> 02:18:42,760
Bobby Wyne's been playing deep in the hole.

1318
02:18:42,760 --> 02:18:51,760
And LaBoy over protecting the line. Santo has gotten a couple of hits here today, getting that ball just between second base and Bobby Wyne.

1319
02:18:51,760 --> 02:18:58,760
Bich is cut on. Here's the ball through LaBoy and Wyne. A hard hit ball. A base hit out in the left.

1320
02:18:58,760 --> 02:19:09,760
Santo's third hit of the afternoon. You know he hit that ball hard because LaBoy and Wyne were playing fairly close together and he got that ball right between them.

1321
02:19:09,760 --> 02:19:15,760
Second hit off Don Shaw with one out. Here's Ernie Banks.

1322
02:19:15,760 --> 02:19:21,760
Well, that hit by Santo brought the fans to life again here at Wrigley Field.

1323
02:19:21,760 --> 02:19:26,760
Shaw to face Ernie Banks who's one for three. The pitch is low. Ball one.

1324
02:19:26,760 --> 02:19:30,760
Struck out in the second. Popped up to Wyne in the third.

1325
02:19:30,760 --> 02:19:40,760
And then got a hit off Waslowski in the fifth that drove in a run.

1326
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:44,760
One out and one on. The stretch by Don. Here's the pitch to Banks.

1327
02:19:44,760 --> 02:19:51,760
Taken just above the knees. Hit the outside corner and strike. One ball, one strike.

1328
02:19:51,760 --> 02:20:00,760
Santo takes his lead from first base. The pitch swung on. High fly ball. Left field going back. Carrera.

1329
02:20:00,760 --> 02:20:11,760
He's under it and he puts the squeeze on it. And Santo will hold it first base. Two away.

1330
02:20:11,760 --> 02:20:20,760
Jim Hickman steps in. He grounded out to Sutherland. Hit into a field his choice in the fifth.

1331
02:20:20,760 --> 02:20:33,760
Takes a strike. 0-1. He hit into a fielder's choice. Got on. Banks was at first. Was rubbed out at second.

1332
02:20:33,760 --> 02:20:37,760
Don Shaw is ready. The southpaw delivers. Swung on. And it's a one hopper.

1333
02:20:37,760 --> 02:20:45,760
Wyne has it to throw to first base in time and Shaw's out of the jam.

1334
02:20:45,760 --> 02:20:54,760
A one out single by Santo goes down the drain. No runs. One hit. No errors.

1335
02:20:54,760 --> 02:21:03,760
And one man left to score at the end of seventh. The Expos five. The Cubs three.

1336
02:21:03,760 --> 02:21:08,760
Here at Wrigley Field in Chicago, we go to the top half of the eighth inning.

1337
02:21:08,760 --> 02:21:15,760
The Expos are leading the Cubs five to three. Here again Dave Van Horn.

1338
02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:24,760
For our Expos now on the top of the eighth it will be Bob Bailey, Coco Laboy, and Jose Herrera.

1339
02:21:24,760 --> 02:21:29,760
Bailey is three for three. Got a hit in the first. Again in the fourth.

1340
02:21:29,760 --> 02:21:36,760
Hit a home run in the fifth. His first home run of the year.

1341
02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:41,760
The second home run taken on the Hill.

1342
02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:50,760
The wind up. End pitch. High inside and Bailey has to bite the dust.

1343
02:21:50,760 --> 02:21:55,760
One ball, no strikes.

1344
02:21:55,760 --> 02:22:00,760
Bob had a word there for Randy Hundley. He said now Randy tell me he didn't mean that did he?

1345
02:22:00,760 --> 02:22:07,760
Swing and a high fly ball. Left field going back. Williams going back. He can't get it.

1346
02:22:07,760 --> 02:22:12,760
It's over the screen. A home run for Bob Bailey. Number two of the afternoon.

1347
02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:18,760
And that ball disappeared in the haze here at Wrigley Field.

1348
02:22:18,760 --> 02:22:22,760
Bob Bailey four for four. His second home run.

1349
02:22:22,760 --> 02:22:28,760
First two of the season for Bob and the whole Expos bench is up to greet him.

1350
02:22:28,760 --> 02:22:33,760
Holy moly what a close that was. Bob really tagged it over the deep side in left field.

1351
02:22:33,760 --> 02:22:39,760
Way up over the screen. Said thank you to Phil Rigan for that high pitch to his skull.

1352
02:22:39,760 --> 02:22:49,760
Four RBIs. Laboy swings. Hard hit ball high in the air but out to right center and coasting over to make the catches. Jim Hickman.

1353
02:22:49,760 --> 02:22:54,760
So Laboy retired on the first pitch. One away.

1354
02:22:54,760 --> 02:23:02,760
And now it's now six to three. That's a big run. That home run by Bob Bailey.

1355
02:23:02,760 --> 02:23:08,760
And Bob really powered that ball too.

1356
02:23:08,760 --> 02:23:16,760
Ron Fairley says how do you like that? I give the guy a chance to play. He goes four for four with two home runs and four RBIs.

1357
02:23:16,760 --> 02:23:22,760
I'm going to get my swings in anyway. So here's Ron Fairley to bat for Jose Herrera who is over three.

1358
02:23:22,760 --> 02:23:26,760
Fairley up for the first time. Ron swings on the first pitch. Pops it up.

1359
02:23:26,760 --> 02:23:32,760
First base side. Banks in on the edge of the infield grass. Makes the catch. Two down.

1360
02:23:32,760 --> 02:23:41,760
Fairley retired on one pitch.

1361
02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:50,760
John Bacabella will be the batter.

1362
02:23:50,760 --> 02:23:59,760
John is all for three. Struck out in the second. Fly ball to right in the fourth. Lined out to left in the sixth.

1363
02:23:59,760 --> 02:24:08,760
Boy I'll tell you that home run by Bailey really put a hush over the fans here at Wrigley Field.

1364
02:24:08,760 --> 02:24:19,760
Two outs with nobody on. The pitch to John. Swing and a foul. Bounce back behind the plate. Strike one.

1365
02:24:19,760 --> 02:24:23,760
The right hander delivers. Swung on. Popped up. Hundley's off with the mask behind the plate.

1366
02:24:23,760 --> 02:24:30,760
Casts the mask aside. Makes the catch. Exposed it through in the eighth.

1367
02:24:30,760 --> 02:24:36,760
One run on one hit. Bob Bailey's second home run of the afternoon. No errors in the field and nobody left on base.

1368
02:24:36,760 --> 02:24:46,760
The score now at the end of seven and a half here at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Expos six. The Cubs three.

1369
02:24:46,760 --> 02:24:51,760
We go to the bottom half of the eighth inning and the Expos have an extra run.

1370
02:24:51,760 --> 02:24:57,760
Thanks to Bob Bailey's second home run of the afternoon and his second of the season.

1371
02:24:57,760 --> 02:25:03,760
It's now six to two. Six to three for the Expos over the Cubs in the bottom of the eighth.

1372
02:25:03,760 --> 02:25:10,760
Ron Fairley has taken over in left field for Montreal. Adolfo Phillipson center Rusty Stobbs in right.

1373
02:25:10,760 --> 02:25:17,760
The bottom third of the Cubs order here in the eighth. Hundley, young.

1374
02:25:17,760 --> 02:25:25,760
And then we'll probably get a pinch hitter.

1375
02:25:25,760 --> 02:25:31,760
Randy Hundley is one for three. Got a hit in the second off starter was Lewski. Don Shaw delivers a strike.

1376
02:25:31,760 --> 02:25:43,760
Oh and one to Hundley. Hundley struck out in the fourth and grounded out against Shaw in the fifth.

1377
02:25:43,760 --> 02:25:50,760
The count is all in one for the Cubs catcher Randy Hundley.

1378
02:25:50,760 --> 02:25:57,760
Right hand hitter. Don Shaw winds it up the pitch low outside ball one.

1379
02:25:57,760 --> 02:26:04,760
Don Shaw came on in the fifth when starter Gary Was Lewski got in trouble.

1380
02:26:04,760 --> 02:26:10,760
Cubs scored two runs in that inning. Got back in the ball game.

1381
02:26:10,760 --> 02:26:16,760
Here's the pitch. Swung on a hard hit ball high into the air right center. Stop going back now.

1382
02:26:16,760 --> 02:26:22,760
Rusty waiting under it makes the catch.

1383
02:26:22,760 --> 02:26:35,760
One away. The batter Don Young. Young walked his first two times up and then against Shaw was called out on strikes in the sixth.

1384
02:26:35,760 --> 02:26:41,760
One out and nobody on. Six to three the Expos leading the Cubs.

1385
02:26:41,760 --> 02:26:44,760
Here on this final day of the long road trip.

1386
02:26:44,760 --> 02:26:47,760
The first game of a scheduled double header.

1387
02:26:47,760 --> 02:26:56,760
Fastball low inside. Ball one to Young.

1388
02:26:56,760 --> 02:27:00,760
Russell have the scoreboard for you details on all the other games right after this one.

1389
02:27:00,760 --> 02:27:07,760
Here's the pitch. Swung on and bounce foul over into the Chicago dugout behind third base.

1390
02:27:07,760 --> 02:27:16,760
One ball one strike.

1391
02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:25,760
Despite of the fact that it's very hazy here it's a little bit lighter right now than it was 30 minutes ago.

1392
02:27:25,760 --> 02:27:38,760
Pitch is outside two balls and a strike.

1393
02:27:38,760 --> 02:27:46,760
Don Shaw has the sign. Wind up in the pitch. Swung on. Fly ball shallow center field going back.

1394
02:27:46,760 --> 02:27:50,760
Settling back pedaling back back. He's got it.

1395
02:27:50,760 --> 02:27:58,760
Gary going back quickly. Got out in the shallow center field and made the catch.

1396
02:27:58,760 --> 02:28:07,760
That is two away. The pinch hitter will be Ken Rudolph.

1397
02:28:07,760 --> 02:28:11,760
Ken Rudolph.

1398
02:28:11,760 --> 02:28:16,760
Batting 111 on the areas. He's appeared in only nine games.

1399
02:28:16,760 --> 02:28:19,760
Takes a low outside fastball from Shaw.

1400
02:28:19,760 --> 02:28:27,760
One and oh.

1401
02:28:27,760 --> 02:28:30,760
Looks like Dick Selma.

1402
02:28:30,760 --> 02:28:38,760
The bullpen I can't tell right now. Swing and popped up right side of the plate. Baca Bella under it.

1403
02:28:38,760 --> 02:28:44,760
Foul territory. John's got it. That's all for Ken Rudolph and the Cubs are through in the bottom of the eighth.

1404
02:28:44,760 --> 02:28:50,760
Shaw mowed them down one two three with nothing across and as we go to the ninth it's the Expos six.

1405
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:53,760
The Cubs three.

1406
02:28:53,760 --> 02:28:57,760
Well for late shooters in let's review the scoring in this ball game.

1407
02:28:57,760 --> 02:29:00,760
The Montreal Expos took a one to nothing lead in the first inning.

1408
02:29:00,760 --> 02:29:04,760
Adolfo Phillips the leadoff man single stole second.

1409
02:29:04,760 --> 02:29:11,760
Went to third when the throw by Randy Hundley to the bag was wild and he scored on a single by Bob Bailey.

1410
02:29:11,760 --> 02:29:18,760
The Cubs tied it up with one run in the second inning when Willie Smith homered over the left field fence into the bleacher seat.

1411
02:29:18,760 --> 02:29:23,760
Then the Expos really went to town in their half of the fifth inning.

1412
02:29:23,760 --> 02:29:29,760
Phillips let off with a walk. Rusty Stobb single.

1413
02:29:29,760 --> 02:29:35,760
Moving Phillips to third. Gary Sutherland hit a sacrifice fly and Phillips came in to score.

1414
02:29:35,760 --> 02:29:41,760
Bob Bailey hit a home run with Stobb and Phillips aboard.

1415
02:29:41,760 --> 02:29:46,760
With Stobb and Phillips aboard. Wine was the one who came in on the sacrifice fly.

1416
02:29:46,760 --> 02:29:51,760
And the Expos scored four runs in that half of the fifth inning.

1417
02:29:51,760 --> 02:30:02,760
The Cubs came back in their half of the fifth with a pair of runs and they got it this way.

1418
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:08,760
We'll recap more of that ball game a little later on as we are going into the ninth inning.

1419
02:30:08,760 --> 02:30:13,760
The top half of the ninth inning and we have a new pitcher on the hill for the Chicago Cubs.

1420
02:30:13,760 --> 02:30:18,760
Dick Selma right hander coming on now to pitch the ninth inning for Chicago.

1421
02:30:18,760 --> 02:30:21,760
Dick Selma. He'll face Bobby Wine.

1422
02:30:21,760 --> 02:30:27,760
The pitcher Don Shaw and Adolfo Phillips here in the ninth. The Expos leading six to three.

1423
02:30:27,760 --> 02:30:33,760
The first pitch to Bobby is high and outside ball one. Wine is two for three with a couple of doubles and a run scored.

1424
02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:42,760
Boy he started that rally off for the Expos in the fifth inning with a double and scored on that single by Rusty Stobb.

1425
02:30:42,760 --> 02:30:46,760
Selma looks down to Hundley.

1426
02:30:46,760 --> 02:30:51,760
The pitch high outside again ball two. Two and nothing.

1427
02:30:51,760 --> 02:30:59,760
Expos have hit that ball well today. They've out hit the Cubs nine to eight leading six to three here in the ninth.

1428
02:30:59,760 --> 02:31:05,760
Selma's pitch taken for a strike. Two and one to Bobby Wine.

1429
02:31:05,760 --> 02:31:11,760
Rich Nye the Chicago starter went four in a third innings.

1430
02:31:11,760 --> 02:31:16,760
Next pitch is right across the knees for a strike called.

1431
02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:22,760
Count levels of two and two.

1432
02:31:22,760 --> 02:31:30,760
I guess the weatherman is wrong although it's dark and overcast he had called for rain that should have started 45 minutes ago if he was right.

1433
02:31:30,760 --> 02:31:41,760
It's low and outside a full count of Bobby Wine now three and two but he wasn't right and we've got a good chance to get two in now.

1434
02:31:41,760 --> 02:31:49,760
Wine swings and misses strike three. Bobby goes down swinging and Selma logs a strikeout.

1435
02:31:49,760 --> 02:31:55,760
That brings the pitcher Don Shaw to the plate. Don went down swinging.

1436
02:31:55,760 --> 02:32:03,760
In the sixth inning.

1437
02:32:03,760 --> 02:32:05,760
Left hand hitter.

1438
02:32:05,760 --> 02:32:15,760
Selma deals and here's a bouncer to Santo at third. Up with it the throw to Banks retires Shaw two away.

1439
02:32:15,760 --> 02:32:21,760
The Expos beginning was the fifth four runs on three hits.

1440
02:32:21,760 --> 02:32:25,760
Bobby started it with his double.

1441
02:32:25,760 --> 02:32:29,760
Phillips walked rusty stock of A's driving in Wine.

1442
02:32:29,760 --> 02:32:33,760
The winner to sacrifice Hivett's to Phillips.

1443
02:32:33,760 --> 02:32:37,760
Bailey home run.

1444
02:32:37,760 --> 02:32:41,760
The home run is off Abernathy.

1445
02:32:41,760 --> 02:32:47,760
Adolf Olbis one for three with a walk and two runs scored.

1446
02:32:47,760 --> 02:32:54,760
The pitch is low ball.

1447
02:32:54,760 --> 02:32:58,760
Selma deals a fastball for a strike one ball one strike.

1448
02:32:58,760 --> 02:33:08,760
You'll have a chance to meet the new members of the Expos team including Adolf O. Phillips tomorrow at 1230 Plasville Marie in downtown Montreal.

1449
02:33:08,760 --> 02:33:11,760
So we hope there'll be a lot of fans out there.

1450
02:33:11,760 --> 02:33:19,760
Make the newcomers as welcome as we did those who started with the club at the beginning of the year. A breaking ball that failed Selma.

1451
02:33:19,760 --> 02:33:22,760
Takes the count of two and one.

1452
02:33:22,760 --> 02:33:25,760
Two outs and nobody on here in the top of the ninth.

1453
02:33:25,760 --> 02:33:31,760
Phillips went with one high into the air down the left field line. It goes foul.

1454
02:33:31,760 --> 02:33:34,760
Out of play.

1455
02:33:34,760 --> 02:33:37,760
The count is two and two.

1456
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:45,760
And tomorrow night at eight oh five the bell rings on the home stand. Cardinals in the Expos.

1457
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:51,760
The first of four games.

1458
02:33:51,760 --> 02:33:54,760
Phillips swings pops this one up right around the plate.

1459
02:33:54,760 --> 02:34:02,760
Hundley off of the mask waiting left side of the plate. He's got it.

1460
02:34:02,760 --> 02:34:07,760
Selma put the side down one two three.

1461
02:34:07,760 --> 02:34:13,760
Nothing across in the top of the ninth. We go to the bottom of the ninth. Montreal six comes three.

1462
02:34:13,760 --> 02:34:16,760
And just to straighten out that fifth inning in our recap.

1463
02:34:16,760 --> 02:34:21,760
Here's how the Expos got their runs. Bobby Wine let off with a double.

1464
02:34:21,760 --> 02:34:23,760
Gordon a single by Rusty Stubb.

1465
02:34:23,760 --> 02:34:30,760
Phillips has followed with a walk. Stubb and Phillips came in on the home run by Bob Bailey his first of the afternoon.

1466
02:34:30,760 --> 02:34:34,760
That's how the Expos picked up their run in the fifth inning.

1467
02:34:34,760 --> 02:34:38,760
They added another run in the eighth inning on a home run by Bob Bailey.

1468
02:34:38,760 --> 02:34:41,760
The Cubs picked up their runs in the fifth inning.

1469
02:34:41,760 --> 02:34:46,760
Don Kessinger grounded out but Paul Popovich walked Billy Williams single.

1470
02:34:46,760 --> 02:34:53,760
Santos single in a run bringing in Popovich. Ernie Banks single in another run bringing in Billy Williams.

1471
02:34:53,760 --> 02:34:56,760
So that's the story on this ballgame so far.

1472
02:34:56,760 --> 02:35:03,760
It is six to three for the Expos over the Cubs as we go into the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1473
02:35:03,760 --> 02:35:09,760
It's been a long road trip but the Expos are really looking good toward the end of this road trip.

1474
02:35:09,760 --> 02:35:17,760
They have posted six victories on the road and are not far from another one this afternoon.

1475
02:35:17,760 --> 02:35:24,760
So as we go into the bottom half of the ninth inning the Nervy Ninth the first man up for the Cubs

1476
02:35:24,760 --> 02:35:28,760
will be their leadoff man Don Kessinger.

1477
02:35:28,760 --> 02:35:33,760
Don Shaw in the leaf of Gary Weslowski pitching well for the Expos.

1478
02:35:33,760 --> 02:35:35,760
Take it away Dave.

1479
02:35:35,760 --> 02:35:40,760
Well the top of the order has been a little bit of trouble here for the Expos.

1480
02:35:40,760 --> 02:35:42,760
Only two hits among the first three men in the order.

1481
02:35:42,760 --> 02:35:51,760
One by Kessinger and one by Williams but a total of four walks and two of the three runs short.

1482
02:35:51,760 --> 02:35:55,760
Don Shaw has got to deal with Kessinger popping up to Williams.

1483
02:35:55,760 --> 02:35:57,760
First pitch to Kessinger was a ball.

1484
02:35:57,760 --> 02:35:59,760
Don is ready.

1485
02:35:59,760 --> 02:36:00,760
He deals.

1486
02:36:00,760 --> 02:36:01,760
Kessinger takes it low.

1487
02:36:01,760 --> 02:36:02,760
Ball two.

1488
02:36:02,760 --> 02:36:03,760
Two and nothing.

1489
02:36:03,760 --> 02:36:05,760
Kessinger walked in the first inning.

1490
02:36:05,760 --> 02:36:06,760
Flied to center in the second.

1491
02:36:06,760 --> 02:36:07,760
Grounded out in the fifth.

1492
02:36:07,760 --> 02:36:09,760
Got his base hit in the sixth.

1493
02:36:09,760 --> 02:36:13,760
He was stranded there in the sixth.

1494
02:36:13,760 --> 02:36:15,760
Switch hitter batting right against the left-hander Shaw.

1495
02:36:15,760 --> 02:36:21,760
The 2-0 pitch taken for the strike.

1496
02:36:21,760 --> 02:36:24,760
Count is two and one.

1497
02:36:24,760 --> 02:36:27,760
They'll probably shorten the time between games a little bit.

1498
02:36:27,760 --> 02:36:32,760
Speed that second one along as quickly as they can.

1499
02:36:32,760 --> 02:36:34,760
Here's the 2-1.

1500
02:36:34,760 --> 02:36:35,760
Strike two.

1501
02:36:35,760 --> 02:36:37,760
A breaking ball hit the inside corner.

1502
02:36:37,760 --> 02:36:52,760
Two balls, two strikes.

1503
02:36:52,760 --> 02:36:53,760
Don is ready.

1504
02:36:53,760 --> 02:36:54,760
He delivers.

1505
02:36:54,760 --> 02:36:56,760
Pitch is cut on right back to Shaw.

1506
02:36:56,760 --> 02:36:57,760
He had to reach to his left.

1507
02:36:57,760 --> 02:36:59,760
The throw to first is in time.

1508
02:36:59,760 --> 02:37:04,760
And that's all for Kessinger.

1509
02:37:04,760 --> 02:37:07,760
One away.

1510
02:37:07,760 --> 02:37:09,760
Gary Wazlowski went four in a third innings.

1511
02:37:09,760 --> 02:37:18,760
The starters, Don Shaw is the pitcher of decision right now.

1512
02:37:18,760 --> 02:37:26,760
Done quite a job.

1513
02:37:26,760 --> 02:37:29,760
The pitch to Popovich.

1514
02:37:29,760 --> 02:37:31,760
Strike called.

1515
02:37:31,760 --> 02:37:37,760
Batting now from the other side of the plate against the left-hander Shaw.

1516
02:37:37,760 --> 02:37:42,760
Popovich 0-2 with a couple of walks.

1517
02:37:42,760 --> 02:37:44,760
One out, nobody on.

1518
02:37:44,760 --> 02:37:46,760
Don deals low.

1519
02:37:46,760 --> 02:37:50,760
A ball and a strike.

1520
02:37:50,760 --> 02:37:51,760
Six to three.

1521
02:37:51,760 --> 02:37:55,760
The Expos leading the Cubs trying to make it two in a row.

1522
02:37:55,760 --> 02:38:01,760
Over the Eastern Division, leaders in the National League.

1523
02:38:01,760 --> 02:38:02,760
Don again.

1524
02:38:02,760 --> 02:38:06,760
Line drive up the middle of base hit.

1525
02:38:06,760 --> 02:38:09,760
So the Cubs are going to give it their best shot here in the bottom of the ninth.

1526
02:38:09,760 --> 02:38:17,760
And now Don Shaw will have to face Billy Williams.

1527
02:38:17,760 --> 02:38:26,760
That's the third hit off Don Shaw.

1528
02:38:26,760 --> 02:38:30,760
The batter, Billy Williams, is one for three with a walk.

1529
02:38:30,760 --> 02:38:34,760
A left-hand hitter.

1530
02:38:34,760 --> 02:38:36,760
Williams almost hit one out in the first inning.

1531
02:38:36,760 --> 02:38:42,760
He sent stop almost to the wall down the right field line.

1532
02:38:42,760 --> 02:38:44,760
Popovich takes his lead.

1533
02:38:44,760 --> 02:38:45,760
Here's the pitch.

1534
02:38:45,760 --> 02:38:47,760
Swing and a miss.

1535
02:38:47,760 --> 02:38:49,760
Strike one.

1536
02:38:49,760 --> 02:39:00,760
Roy Williams was going for the fences.

1537
02:39:00,760 --> 02:39:01,760
Outfield deep.

1538
02:39:01,760 --> 02:39:05,760
A few steps around to the right.

1539
02:39:05,760 --> 02:39:07,760
Popovich leading off first.

1540
02:39:07,760 --> 02:39:10,760
Shaw's pitch is just a little low.

1541
02:39:10,760 --> 02:39:25,760
One ball and one strike to Billy Williams.

1542
02:39:25,760 --> 02:39:26,760
The stretch.

1543
02:39:26,760 --> 02:39:27,760
Now the pitch.

1544
02:39:27,760 --> 02:39:28,760
A breaking ball is low and outside.

1545
02:39:28,760 --> 02:39:29,760
Ball two.

1546
02:39:29,760 --> 02:39:32,760
Two and one to Williams.

1547
02:39:32,760 --> 02:39:38,760
The Expos scored first in the first inning and the Cubs tied it up in the second.

1548
02:39:38,760 --> 02:39:41,760
And the Expos went out in front with four runs in the fifth.

1549
02:39:41,760 --> 02:39:43,760
And have been in front since then.

1550
02:39:43,760 --> 02:39:48,760
Leading six to three here in the ninth with one out and one on.

1551
02:39:48,760 --> 02:39:50,760
Williams swings on the next one.

1552
02:39:50,760 --> 02:39:53,760
Lazy fly into the shallow right field.

1553
02:39:53,760 --> 02:40:04,760
It drops in front of stop and they're two aboard on the hit by Williams.

1554
02:40:04,760 --> 02:40:08,760
Now the Cubs have got something going.

1555
02:40:08,760 --> 02:40:13,760
The batter will be Ron Santo.

1556
02:40:13,760 --> 02:40:20,760
And Dick Raditz, the right hander, is going to go to work in the Expos bullpen.

1557
02:40:20,760 --> 02:40:25,760
Santo is three for four with an RBI.

1558
02:40:25,760 --> 02:40:27,760
Popovich is at second.

1559
02:40:27,760 --> 02:40:31,760
Williams at first with only one out.

1560
02:40:31,760 --> 02:40:34,760
Santo, right hand hitter.

1561
02:40:34,760 --> 02:40:36,760
Shaw holds at the belt.

1562
02:40:36,760 --> 02:40:38,760
The pitch low.

1563
02:40:38,760 --> 02:40:39,760
Ball one.

1564
02:40:39,760 --> 02:40:49,760
Down having a really work now.

1565
02:40:49,760 --> 02:40:59,760
Joining Dick Raditz is Roy Faze in the Expos bullpen.

1566
02:40:59,760 --> 02:41:01,760
One and nothing to Santo.

1567
02:41:01,760 --> 02:41:02,760
Don holds at the belt.

1568
02:41:02,760 --> 02:41:03,760
Looks at the lead runner.

1569
02:41:03,760 --> 02:41:04,760
Here's the pitch.

1570
02:41:04,760 --> 02:41:06,760
Swung on and a boundary right back to Shaw.

1571
02:41:06,760 --> 02:41:07,760
He has it.

1572
02:41:07,760 --> 02:41:12,760
The play is the first in time to get Santo for out number two.

1573
02:41:12,760 --> 02:41:14,760
Oh, a big play.

1574
02:41:14,760 --> 02:41:15,760
The runners move up.

1575
02:41:15,760 --> 02:41:18,760
Popovich going to third.

1576
02:41:18,760 --> 02:41:20,760
Williams to second.

1577
02:41:20,760 --> 02:41:21,760
Santo is out.

1578
02:41:21,760 --> 02:41:22,760
Shaw to Bailey.

1579
02:41:22,760 --> 02:41:33,760
And the batter will be Ernie Banks who is one for four with two down in the bottom of the ninth.

1580
02:41:33,760 --> 02:41:36,760
And the Expos leading six to three.

1581
02:41:36,760 --> 02:41:37,760
Banks steps to the plate.

1582
02:41:37,760 --> 02:41:40,760
John Bacabella out to talk to Don Shaw.

1583
02:41:40,760 --> 02:41:45,760
Shaw has faced Ernie Banks once in the seventh inning.

1584
02:41:45,760 --> 02:41:50,760
He got him on a fly ball to left.

1585
02:41:50,760 --> 02:41:53,760
Banks got his hit and an RBI in the fifth.

1586
02:41:53,760 --> 02:41:57,760
A starter Gary Wazlowski.

1587
02:41:57,760 --> 02:42:00,760

John getting ready.

1593
02:42:23,760 --> 02:42:24,760
Here's the pitch.

1594
02:42:24,760 --> 02:42:26,760
Banks swings and it's a hopper.

1595
02:42:26,760 --> 02:42:29,760
It's a pass Bobby Wyne out into left field.

1596
02:42:29,760 --> 02:42:33,760
Ernie Banks with a base hit and two runs score.

1597

And the batter Jim Hickman.

1603
02:43:01,760 --> 02:43:13,760
And Banks gives way to a pinch runner and gets a standing ovation as he leaves the game.

1604
02:43:13,760 --> 02:43:18,760
The batter will be Jim Hickman, right hand hitter with two outs in the ninth.

1605
02:43:18,760 --> 02:43:25,760

02:43:53,760 --> 02:43:54,760
The 1 0.

1614
02:43:54,760 --> 02:43:56,760
Taking low ball two to Hickman.

1615
02:43:56,760 --> 02:43:59,760
Doing nothing.

1616
02:43:59,760 --> 02:44:03,760
Hickman steps out of the batter's box now going over toward the batting circle.

1617
02:44:03,760 --> 02:44:06,760
He gets the rosin bag.

1618
02:44:06,760 --> 02:44:10,760
Looking to Pete Reiser the coach in the third base box.

1619
02:44:10,760 --> 02:44:18,760
Chicago rallying here in the ninth.

1620
02:44:18,760 --> 02:44:21,760
With that home run by Bailey.

1621
02:44:21,760 --> 02:44:24,760
With our big hit.

1622
02:44:24,760 --> 02:44:26,760
Doing nothing to Hickman.

1623
02:44:26,760 --> 02:44:28,760

1624
02:44:28,760 --> 02:44:29,760
Looks to Blatt the runner.

Here's the pitch taken for a strike.

1626
02:44:31,760 --> 02:44:35,760
Two and one.

1627
02:44:35,760 --> 02:44:41,760
The outfield is deep and around to the left.

1628
02:44:41,760 --> 02:44:44,760
La Boy behind third playing near the line.

1629

02:44:52,760 --> 02:44:53,760
Swung on.

1633
02:44:53,760 --> 02:44:54,760
High fly ball.

1634
02:44:54,760 --> 02:44:55,760
Left field.

1635
02:44:55,760 --> 02:44:56,760
Going back.

1636
02:44:56,760 --> 02:44:57,760
Going back.

1637
02:44:57,760 --> 02:45:01,760
It's a home run and the Cubs win it.

1638
02:45:01,760 --> 02:45:06,760
The Cubs win on a home run.

1639
02:45:06,760 --> 02:45:21,760
Here in the bottom of the ninth and the Expos are stunned.

1640
02:45:21,760 --> 02:45:25,760
Why it's where the Chicago Cubs won the National League pennant.

1641
02:45:25,760 --> 02:45:29,760
The players are going absolutely crazy.

1642
02:45:29,760 --> 02:45:31,760
Wow.

1643
02:45:31,760 --> 02:45:35,760
What a fantastic performance by the fans here at Wrigley Field.

1644
02:45:35,760 --> 02:45:40,760
Really cheering their players on that big blast by Jim Hickman.

1645
02:45:40,760 --> 02:45:42,760
Ron Santa was going bugs in the outfield.

1646
02:45:42,760 --> 02:45:45,760
He's just jumping up and down.

1647
02:45:45,760 --> 02:45:47,760
Wow are they going nuts.

1648
02:45:47,760 --> 02:45:49,760
And the fans.

1649
02:45:49,760 --> 02:45:51,760
They're delirious with joy.

1650
02:45:51,760 --> 02:45:53,760
As the Chicago Cubs.

1651
02:45:53,760 --> 02:45:55,760
On a home run.

1652
02:45:55,760 --> 02:45:57,760
By Jim Hickman.

1653
02:45:57,760 --> 02:45:59,760
Win this ballgame.

1654
02:45:59,760 --> 02:46:00,760

02:46:00,760 --> 02:46:03,760
With 2 outs.

1656
02:46:03,760 --> 02:46:05,760
2 outs in the ninth.

1657
02:46:05,760 --> 02:46:10,760
And the Expos are in shock.

1658
02:46:10,760 --> 02:46:13,760
A towering home run to left by Jim Hickman.

1659
02:46:13,760 --> 02:46:19,760
The Cubs come from behind to win it 7 to 6 in the bottom of the ninth.

1660
02:46:19,760 --> 02:46:23,760
What a dramatic finish here.

1661
02:46:23,760 --> 02:46:29,760
And what a shock and what a blow to Don Shaw and the Expos.

1662
02:46:29,760 --> 02:46:30,760
In the ninth.

1663
02:46:30,760 --> 02:46:31,760
4 runs.

1664
02:46:31,760 --> 02:46:34,760
On 4 hits.

1665
02:46:34,760 --> 02:46:35,760
No errors.

1666
02:46:35,760 --> 02:46:37,760
Nobody left.

1667
02:46:37,760 --> 02:46:41,760
The Cubs win it 7 to 6 and I'll have the totals in 1 minute.

1668
02:46:41,760 --> 02:47:01,760
Music.
