00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The Baltimore Orioles faced the Washington Senators at RFK Stadium for the first game of a make-up

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
twinite doubleheader on Tuesday, June 22nd, 1971.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
The Orioles were in first place in the AL East with a six-game lead over the Tigers and a 41-22 record

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
under manager Earl Weaver. The Orioles went to the World Series the last two seasons, beating the Reds in 1970

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
for their second championship in five years.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
The Senators had been a struggling team for nearly a decade.

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
They were an expansion team in 1961 that replaced the original Senators that moved to Minnesota to become the twins,

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
but they only had one winning season in the past 11 years.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
They were managed by Ted Williams, who gave them the only winning season in his first year's manager in 1969.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
But they were once again struggling, finishing in last place with 92 losses in 1970.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
They were still in the cellar entering this game with a 23 and 40 record.

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
This audio recording is from the Baltimore Radio broadcast featuring announcers Chuck Thompson and Bill O'Donnell.

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
In this battle of South Park, Jim Schellenback for the Senators and Grant Jackson for the Orioles,

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
the Senators will bat in the following order.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Unser will lead off, play right field.

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Batting number two, the third baseman, Dave Nelson.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Another three-hitter will be five-powered, and he's out in left field.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Batting four, the center fielder, and that is Elliott Maddox.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
The number five-hitter, first baseman, Don Nincure.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Number six-hitter in the Washington order will be Paul Casanova.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Batting seven at second base, Lenny Randall.

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The number eight-hitter is the shortstop, Tim Cullen, and the pitcher is Jim Schellenback.

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Just yet, will be the ball and strike down fire, and game number two with Dave Cullen at the first base, Larry Nasset second base, and Jerry Needekker at third.

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Well, Merv Retman stands in to lead off with the Orioles, who will be battling now to get a split here tonight in Washington.

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Now it's a pleasure to turn things over to our partner, Bill O'Donnell.

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Thank you, Chuck N. Good evening again, everybody.

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Let's get started now with game two in the left-hander, Schellenback, with a low-fast ball and winner away.

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
One ball, no strikes, you're Retman.

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Dependently now in this second game with Schellenback, the Senators are using Nelson, third, Cullen, short, Randall, second, Minsher, first, and the outfield, how it Maddox pronounced it.

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Line drive, right field, and Retman starts quickly the second game with a line, base, shot, to right.

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And the reason why we shouldn't have a base hit this type of second game after 24 base hits in the first game.

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:35,000
As a matter of fact, Chuck, in the last six ball games, the Orioles have had now 52 base hits.

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
That's the four games of the anti-series, and the game last night here, and he's first to first game tonight.

35
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Here's Paul Blair, five hits in this series, and he swings and he fouls it off strike one.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Retman with a lead off base, not against the South Pole Washington, Schellenback.

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Schellenback has started and also relieved this year.

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The slider can flow, one ball and one strike.

39
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Now Schellenback is what you would call primarily a junk man.

40
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000
He's got off speed breaking stuff, also throws a palm ball, and throws sneaky sliders.

41
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
He's got a one-one counter work player.

42
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Here's a ground foul by third base coach, another one ball and two strikes.

43
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Going through this sixth game barrage of Oriole base hits.

44
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
16 base hits last night, 15 base hits in the first game tonight.

45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Then go back to the anti-series, he's got six hits in game one, 11 hits on Friday, 11 hits on Saturday, and nine hits on Sunday.

46
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Blair with a looping fly ball to right field, uncere coming on.

47
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Makes a one-handed grab, and Blair has been retired.

48
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Let's say a natural way the Oriole hitters are, you know, they're just hit happy about what has happened since the anti-series began.

49
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Here's Frank Robinson, he appeared in the opening ball game as the finch hitter.

50
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Frank came on with two runners on in an eight to six ball game, and they chop their knife and then they ground it into a fourth play for the final out of the opener.

51
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
In the series, Frank is two for six.

52
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000
He hits a high pop of foul to the Washington dugout on the first base side, Mincher's there, Casanova there, and Mincher reaches in

53
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
and then loses the ball as it drops into the Washington dugout.

54
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Mincher came right to the top step and reached in.

55
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And that's the first of two at Boston, they're now in the eighth inning, and the Indians enjoy a nine to three lead.

56
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Indians nine, Boston three.

57
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Again, they double-headed play the Saturday in the New York side, there's one the first game, seven to four,

58
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
they get five on the ninth, the Yankees one the second, and two to one for Bunson.

59
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
The next pitch to Frank, Robinson is outside.

60
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Frank Robinson flying first base in this night gap.

61
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Brooks Robinson is on down.

62
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Mincher at first base is holding on rettenmunt's lead.

63
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Shell and back, Gays in the first and delivers.

64
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
He's on the inside corner, he gets strike two calls.

65
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Russ Getz is calling balls and strikes in the night gap with Jay Phillips at first, Larry Naff at second, and Jerry Newbetcher at third.

66
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
One and two, that's the count we have right now to Frank Robinson.

67
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Shell and back, setting and dealing.

68
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Here's a ground ball foul down third.

69
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
James Phillips, Shell and back.

70
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Born in Riverside, California, he is now a Floridian, resides in Fort Myers, and he's been around quite a while since 1962.

71
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Although he's been around since 62, he did not become a Major Leicester actually until 1966.

72
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:08,000
One to the front, low inside, two balls and two strikes.

73
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,000
In the opening ball game, in case you missed it, Washington used Geneseo Rizendo, Lin-Blad, came your little bird and chocked against the Orioles.

74
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
There's an easy shot to first base and rettenmunt's back to the bag.

75
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Countering against at Washington staff, the bird's used play are Boswell, Holland, Rick, and Lin-Blad wanted.

76
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Boswell lost it.

77
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Load of Frank Robinson, three balls and two strikes.

78
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Frank batting 309, goes nine homers, 42 runs batted in.

79
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Rettenmunt short late against the Southfall look of Skillingback. He's a high fly ball in the shallow center, ranging back second base and Randall on the outfield grass.

80
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
He keeps it in the glove and Frank Robinson he goes.

81
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Two away in the top of the first inning of game one, of game two.

82
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
First game went to Washington, eighth to sixth.

83
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Here's Frank Robinson, he is two through seven in this series. He heard the playing five games as the total of the visit over here at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium.

84
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Then they continue their heavy schedule with four games in three days at Fenway Park beginning Friday night.

85
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000
There's a high drive in Sutterfield, Maddox, pacing in a couple of steps and Maddox puts it away.

86
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
No runs, one hit, one left. In the middle of the first inning of the night, Orioles nothing and Washington is coming to bat.

87
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Well, we also are meeting with San Luis in the second game of the double header here, playing again Wednesday night, Thursday night.

88
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Then we get into Boston, but we'll be back home next Monday and Tuesday night when we host the second play of Detroit Tigers at the stadium.

89
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The game time will be eight o'clock, so please get into the game to be purchased from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the birds advanced sale window at Memorial Stadium Monday through Saturday.

90
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Grant Jackson making his first start for the Orioles.

91
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
They'll answer the foul ball swinging outfield. It will step in against Jackson and we'll get right back to Bill.

92
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Alright, answer left hand batter against the fast-falling left arm of Grant Jackson.

93
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
There's a high foul ball drifting behind the Oriole dugout.

94
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Ed Cabaran is masterminding Jackson the night gap with Brooks III, Belanger Short, Johnson at second base and Frank Robinson at first.

95
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And the night gap outfield has Mouten and left, Laren Center and Rettenund and right field.

96
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Jackson making his first American leg start and naturally his first start in the bird uniform.

97
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
He's blown away from the left hand batting under one ball and one strike.

98
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000
And it has been rare this season in relief appearances that Jackson has not looked good.

99
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
He's looked good just about every time now.

100
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,000
One one now to answer. He runs up the bunch, changes his mind, but strike two is called on the outside corner.

101
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
One and two to answer. He'll push the ball all around the outfield.

102
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:13,000
On to be followed by Nelson and Howard in the Washington first inning. One and two by Jackson. And that's the outside. Two and two.

103
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
On to batting two, 88. He had a hitting streak after the opener.

104
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:31,000
On to the line foul over the Oriole dugout.

105
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Jackson to his motion, lines and throws. Outside corner, Spectre is called. He picked the corner with a good knee high fastball.

106
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,000
So Jackson has a good start. A fan's under looking. And here's Nelson now, the third baseman.

107
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Nelson's got a good series four for nine.

108
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Nelson bats on the right side. Not too big a fellow. He'll be followed by a big man however, Mr. Howard. Strike one, belt high.

109
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Jackson, lean forward, now he'll rock back. He has a 0-1 delivery. Grounded to third, looked right on top of it.

110
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Looked Robinson over to Frank Robinson and two are gone in the Washington first inning.

111
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Hunter has kicked to strike three. Nelson has bounced to third. And now Frank Howard throws nine homers, 29 runs.

112
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:34,000
He's batted in. Has three hits in the series, batting a 3-0-5.

113
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Howard bouncing back and forth now, waiting for Jackson's first six.

114
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Fastball line, right center field, and that's a Howard base six.

115
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:52,000
But now both clubs begin the ball game with base knock from the first inning. One on, two down for Washington. Here's Elliott Maddox.

116
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Nelson a nice gap in center field, batting at 1-77.

117
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:30,000
In the leading, Frank Robinson holds. Jackson looking and firing at foul the way at a play.

118
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Jackson not okay like Betzbarn's time. His next delivery is in the dirt. Betzbarn gives us a good save, digging it out of the dirt.

119
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:48,000
One ball and one strike.

120
00:11:48,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Paul Frank Howard, battling as Frank Robinson holds in the first base. The 1-1 on the way. Bounce to fuel it. There's Vellanger with it. Grows to second.

121
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:18,000
The 1-1 in the play. Orioles nothing and Washington nothing.

122
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Now, we're going to play in California and Milwaukee later on tonight and we may have a little information on that before we leave the air.

123
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Johnson, Curt Moten, Mark Vellanger, Rappel to second tonight. Showing back a one game winner. He has lost three this season with his 0-1 offering. Here's the ground ball back at third backhanded by Nelson. Long crawl.

124
00:12:46,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Here's the first half of the game. He played by the Washington third baseman, Nelson. Johnson retired and here's Moten. He played on the opening ball game as a pinch hitter during that Oriole ninth inning rally when he drew a walk.

125
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Moten batting at 1-11. Moten, the batter with the blade, Vellanger to follow. The winding shell and back and he closed. He closed low ball one.

126
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Shelling back as we told you has relieved. He's also started. He has started four ball games this year. High, two balls in this site.

127
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Shelling back goes to the puck and goes low. Three balls in this site. I'll tell you this Washington left hander, Shelling back, has had his share of misfortunes and injuries during his career.

128
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Moten way ahead on the scoreboard counted three balls in this site. One away, nobody on. That's low ball four. So Moten's been up twice now in the double header. Walked in the ninth inning of the opening and now walks in game two with one out in the top of the second inning.

129
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:20,000
One on and one man out and here's Vellanger. He's got four hits in this series. Vellanger fourth and on. Began the double header batting at 2-94.

130
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Mint you to the bag and Moten leading. Low outside ball one.

131
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Against Vellanger both the shortstop Cullen and the second baseman Randall are playing half way. Now Cullen backs up a little bit more short.

132
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Vellanger one and oh. It's the strike at his latest. One ball and one strike.

133
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Orioles naturally saw their share of left handers in the first game. They look at Grisenda, Lynn Blad and Littlebird are all south course.

134
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
And now this is Shelling back as the left hander started in the ninth half.

135
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Dealing one and one. Shelling back off the set. Ticks and fires in its fouls in the netting. One ball and two strikes.

136
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Vellanger trying to advance Moten. One gone top of the second inning. He'll be followed by Andy Etchibarren and then down to Jackson who's still back in the dugout.

137
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Moten extensively. There's a high pop up in the Washington infield right around the mouth. Charging first baseman Mintcher. In far the mouth Mintcher for out number two.

138
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Vellanger has popped up and here's Andy Etchibarren.

139
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Hendricks was the first game starter back of the plate. Etchibarren came on later in the ballgame as a pinch hitter and then stayed on the ballgame back of the plate.

140
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Andy batting 233. He's got a home run plus six runs at an end.

141
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Jackson has yet to come out on deck. Moten pretty good lead against the left hander. Just a foul right back.

142
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Don't forget now the next time you'll see the Orioles in person next Monday night and those Tigers coming down for two ballgames Monday at eight and Tuesday at eight.

143
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:31,000
The one tracker to Andy. He fouled it again to the screen so he's down and suited to Schellenbach.

144
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Schellenbach really is not a power pitcher as we mentioned he's more of a junk variety. He'll give you the fastball once in a while but he likes to throw sliders and curves and then his changeup will be with that pawn ball.

145
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:56,000
And he does. And I'm going to miss a breaking ball. That's the first strikeout for Schellenbach and number three at the end of an inning and a half in Game 2.

146
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Orioles nothing. Senators nothing.

147
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,840
Phil and I are hopeful of being able to report on some national games tonight,

148
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,720
such as for Mets and Pittsburgh, Montreal and McLeod,

149
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,440
Asclelebelty and Cincinnati.

150
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,760
However, Houston will be out in San Diego,

151
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,880
and then there are two other West Coast games with the Cardinals in Los Angeles

152
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,680
and the Clubs in San Francisco.

153
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,120
In the bottom of the second, Dom Ninture fouling off Jacks and first,

154
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:26,840
Fitzsill are underway in the bottom of the second,

155
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,080
and then Ninture, Casanova and Reimers.

156
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,160
We'll be the first three batters.

157
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:38,160
Coralus in the bottom of inning two, left-hander against left-hander, breaking stuff low outside.

158
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,160
One ball, one strike to Ninture.

159
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,560
Ninture had a big towering home run while up in the first game.

160
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,560
He's got the five homers, 16 runs batted in.

161
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,160
Next hit by Jackson is low.

162
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Two balls and one strike.

163
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,160
Two-one on the way by Jackson to Ninture.

164
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,160
Check the swing and the pitch is low.

165
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,160
Three balls and one strike.

166
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,160
Now, Jackson likes to work rapidly.

167
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,160
He doesn't work as fast to stay upon her, but he does work quickly,

168
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,160
so Ninture slowed him down and moved out of the batter's box.

169
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,160
Three-and-one strike that came buzzing and nipping on the outside corner.

170
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,160
So, Jackson and Ninture have Jockey beat out the three-and-two.

171
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,160
Here it is.

172
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,160
High pop-up into shallow left-sector.

173
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,160
Here's Belanger back-taddling right there.

174
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,160
Belanger for the put-out.

175
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,160
And, okay, we'd like to pause for station identification.

176
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,160
This is the Baltimore Oriole baseball network.

177
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,160
This is Bob Jones saying that if you want to keep in form, Don Berry will do it.

178
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,160
He downs the fourth regularly on radio 11, WBAL in Baltimore.

179
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,160
With Charles Kent-Solike-Bill, Paul Casanova, the Washington Chastain,

180
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,160
he set out the first game, Billings did the job back at a plate.

181
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,160
Inside low, and Casanova has to jump up with that rear foot.

182
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,160
Casanova played last night.

183
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,160
He went once for four.

184
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,160
Against the late, he's batting 225.

185
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,160
Casanova three-homers, 16-rims out and in.

186
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,160
He's played the pull over to West.

187
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,160
Kings and doesn't get an outside fastball.

188
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:30,160
One ball and one strike.

189
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,160
One-on-one, coming into Paul Casanova.

190
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,160
Change up, line foul, way out to left field.

191
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,160
Casanova in one sense was pulled.

192
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,160
He was pulled by Jackson's motion.

193
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,160
He was lunging, but just controlled the bat enough,

194
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,160
and he pulled a shot deep to left on the foul ball.

195
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,160
One into the Casanova, Randall will follow.

196
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,160
Jackson ahead and dealing.

197
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,160
Clinging a miss, he got him on a knee-high fastball.

198
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,160
So two strikeouts by Grant Jackson,

199
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,160
and two away in the Washington half of the second inning.

200
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,160
Here's Lenny Randall, the second baseman.

201
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,160
Now Randall, a little fellow, he's built around the,

202
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,160
no, around the same size as the Dell Unsee.

203
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,160
He might be even a little bit smaller than Don Buford.

204
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,160
But not built, however, as strongly as Buford.

205
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,160
He flings, fouls it off, loses the bat.

206
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,160
It's right over the Oriole dugout, and back about four rows,

207
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,160
and a box-tie patron has the brand-new bat.

208
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,160
Now normally what they'll do is return the bat to the field,

209
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,160
back to Randall, bring a bat out of the Washington dugout,

210
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,160
and give the customer a new bat.

211
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,160
Randall just completely lost the grip on the bat

212
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,160
when he fouled off that pitch.

213
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,160
A fellow you see that do that quite often,

214
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,160
and you've seen it, I'm sure, in Baltimore,

215
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,160
maybe seen it on television.

216
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,160
You see a Sonya Levin do that quite often.

217
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,160
Well, the young fellow doesn't want to give up the bat.

218
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,160
Matter of fact, he's going to start to run out of the ballpark.

219
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,160
Now normally, normally, and he's being stopped,

220
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,160
and I'm sure the youngster's going to get a bat some way.

221
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,160
He'll try to get the bat back to the dugout

222
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,160
and bring another one out.

223
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,160
With a fling in the mix.

224
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,160
He's a little bit...

225
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,160
0-2, that's the counter-randall.

226
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,160
And the next delivery.

227
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,160
Line to center field, here's player coming on.

228
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:37,160
He can't get to it, and Randall with a line single.

229
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,160
Went on two-way, that's tip number two against Jackson.

230
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,160
Both Washington base dots have come after two or gone.

231
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,160
Howard got his last hit, and now Randall is in it.

232
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:53,160
Here's Tim Cullen, a shortstop in the eighth-bathroom yard.

233
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,160
Chuck got been watching Jackson and Cullen.

234
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,160
What's gone on?

235
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,160
Apparently the problem was the youngster who grabbed the bat

236
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,160
did not have a ticket for that seat,

237
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,160
and the spectator who did have the ticket

238
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,160
has been given the bat.

239
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,160
The runner is breaking, and here's a high fly.

240
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,160
Left center field, Blair is right there,

241
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,160
and he radars it and makes the foot out of the side as we say.

242
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,160
No run to base hit, and one left at the end of two.

243
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,160
It's the Orioles nothing, and Washington nothing.

244
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,160
Well, Bill, another first in Oriole broadcast.

245
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,160
This will be the first time in 71 that we've seen

246
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,160
Grant Jackson swing the bat.

247
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,160
He's been in nine ball games, has never been to the plate,

248
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,160
but he has scheduled to be the leadoff hitter

249
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,160
here in this top of the third inning

250
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,160
to be followed by Merz Rettenman,

251
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,160
and then Paul Blair.

252
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,160
Well, Chuck, Grant Jackson like a McNally,

253
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,160
who throws left handed but bat right handed.

254
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,160
Jackson against the Schillin back,

255
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,160
and we've got an unusual start to this second game,

256
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,160
where Scorla's after two innings.

257
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,160
Here's a ground ball to the club side of the shortstop.

258
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,160
Cullen digs it out and throws out Grant Jackson.

259
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,160
One pitch begins at the top of the third.

260
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,160
Jackson grabbing up Cullen to venture,

261
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,160
and now the Merz Rettenman.

262
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:11,160
Merz single to begin the ball game.

263
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,160
In the first few innings of the first game,

264
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,160
we had a total of six.

265
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,160
We have nine base hits.

266
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,160
Production is way down here in the second game.

267
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,160
Only three base hits.

268
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,160
Bass is empty in one away.

269
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,160
Cullen backs the south ball to Merz.

270
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,160
He's high off speed curve at ball one.

271
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,160
Nelson, the third baseman,

272
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,160
kind of smelling something.

273
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,160
He was charging up the third base foul line into the grass.

274
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,160
Merz moved out of the batter's box

275
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,160
and glanced for another sign from third base coach.

276
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,160
Inside, two balls in those strikes.

277
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,160
Together with Chuck Johnson,

278
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,160
Bill O'Donnell, very delighted to be with you

279
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,160
from the nation's capital tonight,

280
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,160
all along the Oriole Radio Network.

281
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,160
The first player down the middle strike is called

282
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:07,160
two balls in one strike.

283
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,160
Cullen back, working Merz.

284
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,160
Two-in-one right now,

285
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,160
fouled off the chef's protector of play-dump player Russ Kess.

286
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,160
I guess this gentleman is no longer around,

287
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,160
but maybe somebody on our radio audience would know,

288
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,160
he was the man years ago who invented his chef's protector.

289
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,160
Whomever he was, he saved a lot of people.

290
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,160
Off speed curve, chop to short.

291
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,160
Cullen must hurry his throw.

292
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,160
He gets it there just in time.

293
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,160
Because of the throw chopper and the quick seed of Redmond,

294
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,160
Cullen had a hurry his throw and got it there to mentor.

295
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,160
So two are out.

296
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,160
Here's Paul Blair.

297
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,160
Here's Paul Blair, five for eleven in the series.

298
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,160
He's flying to right field in the first inning.

299
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:59,160
Blair's been on a pretty good hitting pair since early in June.

300
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:11,160
Swings and foul tips it off the chef's protector of the catcher this time.

301
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,160
One strike to Blair,

302
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,160
swinging away here on the top of the third with two men out.

303
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,160
Off speed curve, foul straight back.

304
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,160
Cullen's back doing a lot of mixing with his pitches.

305
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,160
As we said, he doesn't have the overpowering fastball,

306
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,160
but he'll use that fastball and mix it between sliders and curves

307
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,160
and off speed curves.

308
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,160
On to with two guys, low fastball inside.

309
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,160
One ball, two strikes.

310
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:45,160
Blair the batter and Frank Robinson is on deck.

311
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,160
One two by Cullen back.

312
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,160
Ground foul to the Oriole dugout.

313
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,160
Well in case you missed a slam bang,

314
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,160
freeze swinging first ball game,

315
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,160
it went away of the Senators eight to six.

316
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,160
And as you so often heard and it was true in the first ball game,

317
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,160
the game was not decided until the final out

318
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,160
because the birds had to tie around the board.

319
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,160
Another foul, this one back of the plate.

320
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:16,160
Blair hanging tough at one ball, two strikes against Cullen back.

321
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:23,160
Cullen back just fingers up the Ryzen back quickly.

322
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,160
He's ready to deal.

323
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,160
Wines and works one and two.

324
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,160
Ground ball deep at third and off the glove of Nelson.

325
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,160
From fair ground, it rolls into foul ground

326
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,160
and Blair has a base hit off the glove of Nelson.

327
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,160
No, he doesn't have a base hit, it's an error.

328
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,160
Nelson charged with an error on a ground smash,

329
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,160
back a third, he back handed it, got the glove on it,

330
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,160
bounced off the glove, then rolled across the foul line.

331
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,160
So Blair's safe on an error with two outs

332
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:59,160
and Frank Robinson coming up.

333
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:04,160
With two away, Minsher does the holding job on Blair's lead.

334
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,160
Off feed outside ball one,

335
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:14,160
Frank flies the center in the first inning.

336
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,160
Cullen back now, flows down, relaxes,

337
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,160
thinks, reaches down, picks up the Ryzen back.

338
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,160
He's one of those picks.

339
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:36,160
Low two balls and no strikes.

340
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,160
Two men out, one man aboard and no score on the top of the third.

341
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,160
Frank Robinson, ground ball right back to the mound.

342
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,160
Stabbed by Cullen back, throws out Frank Robinson.

343
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,160
In the middle of the third inning of the night,

344
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,160
the Orioles nothing, watching to nothing.

345
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,160
Well the annual Independence Day fireworks display,

346
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,160
sponsored by the Greater Northeast Baltimore Association,

347
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,160
will be held in Memorial City on Monday, July the 5th.

348
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,160
Gates open on the 5th at 6.30 p.m.

349
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160
Admission is a dollar for adults and 50 cents for children.

350
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Chuck we're breathing right along in a snappy second game.

351
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,160
Here's Cullen back starting an off he's worked low by Jackson.

352
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,160
Jackson gets the strike down the middle, one ball and one strike.

353
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,160
Jim Cullen back, then the top of the order that means uncereplous Nelson.

354
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Jackson with his one one, swinging in a miss, one ball and two strikes.

355
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,160
Cullen back, cuts just as he froze, back from the left side.

356
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,160
Jackson has moved ahead one and two, kicking and dealing.

357
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:43,160
In the best two balls and two strikes.

358
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,160
Jackson coming back quickly to Cullen back, swing and a strikeout.

359
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,160
And that's the third strikeout for Grant Jackson tonight.

360
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,160
One away on the bottom of the third, now to the top of the order and uncereplous.

361
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Uncereplous looked at strike three to begin the bottom of the first inning.

362
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,160
Coming into the double header, Uncere was enjoying a seven game hitting streak.

363
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,160
And he had been on quite a hitting tear the last six to seven ball game.

364
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:20,160
Breaking ball though outside ball one.

365
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,160
One ball, no strikes to the left hand swinging, Uncereplous, Nelson beyond deckman.

366
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Uncere sends a line foul out to a left, one ball and one strike.

367
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,160
Mowson does not play back at all deep and left nor does Blair and DeLet's center.

368
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,160
Matter of fact they play uncereplous shallow.

369
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:52,160
Ground ball to the short stuff, Bellanger on top of it and a good Bellanger arm attires Uncere.

370
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:59,160
Two away in the bottom of the third and here's Dave Nelson.

371
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Nelson bounced out, Brooks from third to Frank Robinson in the opening inning.

372
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:19,160
Jackson begins his wind-up and works the outside corner for strike one call.

373
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160
Jackson working right from the third base out of the rubber.

374
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,160
He started to wind, Nelson wasn't ready and thought he might be quick fit.

375
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,160
All right, Owen Warren.

376
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,160
Line drive, they hit right field, a two out single by Nelson.

377
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,160
So Washington has had the same pattern now for the first three innings against Jackson.

378
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,160
All bases have come after two are gone.

379
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,160
Howard had a two out single in the first, Randall a two out base hit in the second,

380
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,160
and now Nelson a two out base hit here in the third.

381
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,160
Frank Howard turn again and the Orioles will jam the left side of the infield.

382
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,160
They'll play Johnson the second baseman to the short shot side of the bag and back deep.

383
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:02,160
Frank Robinson in first base and holding on Nelson.

384
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,160
So there's all the room now between second and first.

385
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:12,160
Two gone on a board, inside in low ball one.

386
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:19,160
Howard rarely goes to right field and he's played the pull by the outfielders in left and center.

387
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:28,160
Deleted first by Nelson, back he goes on Jackson's move that way.

388
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,160
Howard on Grant Jackson's one-oh.

389
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,160
It's a fly ball to right field, here's Retton on giving it a long run,

390
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:41,160
he's coming to the foul line and makes the catch just about two feet inside the right field foul line on the warning track.

391
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,160
Howard the third out and three innings are now in the books in the nice catch,

392
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,160
the score, all the more nothing and Washington nothing.

393
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:52,160
Final just in from Boston and the Indians defeated the Red Sox nine to three in the first to two.

394
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,160
National League scores, Met's Pirates no score at the end of two, Montreal, Atlanta no score after many and a half,

395
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,160
Philadelphia Cincinnati no score inning and a half.

396
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,160
And no score after three, here's Brooke Robinson sending a showering fly left center field.

397
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,160
And the center field are Maddox and the left center for the put out.

398
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:15,160
One gone in the top of the fourth inning.

399
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:22,160
Believe it or not, Robert Ripley said many years ago, scoreless in the top of the fourth inning.

400
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:36,160
Dave Johnson is up, he was robbed of what might have been abased on a fine fielding fly on a ground ball by third baseman Nelson in the second inning.

401
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Dave Johnson batting in 293, sent out game one, he is hitless in the series.

402
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:50,160
Inside ball one.

403
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,160
Motten to bat after Johnson and the 1-0.

404
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,160
Fly ball, well tagged, deep left center, Maddox on a long run, still going, he won't get to it.

405
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,160
It hops off the fence.

406
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Here's Johnson going to second base and he stays there with a long double, one hopping off the fence in left center.

407
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:13,160
For Johnson who incidentally leads the club in two baggers, that's his 13th double of the year.

408
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,160
So Johnson halfway home in a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning.

409
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:26,160
And the batter is Curt Motten.

410
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:36,160
The Orioles the second base hit and the first hit since Rettenman delivered to begin the ball game.

411
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Johnson looking right through the middle of the infield from second base, looking right into Motten saying, I'm sure to himself pick me up guys.

412
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,160
One on, one gone, Blanches beyond deck man.

413
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:58,160
Here is a strike to Motten.

414
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,160
Shelling back, setting up, set to the belt.

415
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,160
He's in a dirt and inside, one ball and one strike.

416
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:11,160
No run, two hits for the birds in the top of the fourth inning, no runs and three hits for Washington.

417
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:16,160
Left handers dueling scoreless at the end of three innings.

418
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,160
Handle the second baseman trying to drive Johnson closer to the bag as he leads away.

419
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Low to charge again, two balls and one strike.

420
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:49,160
He's in the dirt again, three and one.

421
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:58,160
Motten now finding out from third base coach, should I swing, should I take on three and one?

422
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,160
Johnson's lead at second base.

423
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:16,160
Now three and one, it's five, two calls, bell time. Three balls, two strikes to Motten, one aboard, one out.

424
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,160
Shelling back, straightens up, set, delivers three and two.

425
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Ground ball over the mound near second base, Johnson goes to third.

426
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,160
Randall feels and the second baseman throws out Motten.

427
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:33,160
The ground ball is a hit too high over Shelling back, said for the pitcher to grab, but Randall got to it in front of second base.

428
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:51,160
On the infield ground ball, Johnson moves to third and that'll bring up the land here.

429
00:35:51,160 --> 00:36:00,160
Chuck and I have talked for years and we're mighty happy to have talked in these terms about the stellar, outstanding and almost unbelievable fielding plays of the Brookford-Albenton.

430
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,160
But here's the young man who's done an equally good job here in 1971.

431
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,160
Bellanger thrown low, ball won.

432
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,160
And Bellanger of course also doing the outstanding job thus far with the back.

433
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,160
Bellanger's at 294.

434
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:22,160
One-oh-by Shelling back out of a full wind-up. It's popped up into shallow right center, on comes Uncet.

435
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,160
And Uncet, a shallow right center, makes the put-out.

436
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,160
In the top of the fourth inning, no runs, one hit, Johnson stranded to third base.

437
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,160
At the end of three and a half, it's kill the Orioles, nothing, and Washington, nothing.

438
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,160
For the cooperation of the science staff at WBAL Radio, here's the latest score we have in the National League.

439
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:44,160
Third inning, Mets and Pirates scoreless, second inning, Montreal, Atlanta scoreless,

440
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,160
second inning, Philadelphia and Cincinnati are scoreless.

441
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,160
As we are in Washington in the bottom of the fourth inning, Elliott Matic, butting to the mound.

442
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Jackson field, hurries to throw and save at first base is Matic.

443
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:06,160
Matic who has burning speed just beats the throw off his front by pitcher Jackson who was about 10 feet in front of the mound.

444
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:13,160
I saw Palms down at first base and now Phillips has called out on Matic.

445
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:23,160
Phillips put the Palms down and he must have come up, so Matic has been thrown out by Jackson.

446
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,160
Matic's retired one away and here is Menscher.

447
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,160
A breaking ball is outside.

448
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:36,160
One ball, no strike to Menscher who's five to center in the second inning.

449
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,160
Strike is on the outside corner.

450
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:44,160
So the bang bang play between Matic and Jackson, Jackson has thrown out Matic.

451
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:52,160
So one one delivery, sidearm, low fastball outside, two balls and one strike.

452
00:37:52,160 --> 00:38:04,160
Two and one by the winding Jackson, strike on the outside corner, two balls and two strikes.

453
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,160
Two to around the way. Ground ball wide a third in the hole.

454
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:14,160
Belanger, long throw, it is knocked in time.

455
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,160
Menscher hit a ground ball to the opposite side.

456
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,160
It was past the glove side of Brooks Robinson.

457
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,160
Belanger was coming behind Brooks, was right back deep in the hole in front of the outfield grass.

458
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:31,160
Got his throw to Frank Robinson, but late as Menscher beats the throw.

459
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:36,160
So the infield base hit to short by Menscher has him at first base with one away.

460
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,160
Senators have had a base hit in every inning.

461
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:44,160
The other hit call came with two out and now Menscher gets his with one away in the bottom of the fourth inning.

462
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,160
Ball Casanova is up, a line drive to right field, hits a base hit to the corner.

463
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Here's Menscher turning second, he's on his way to third.

464
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:56,160
Menscher's held up a third and Casanova pulls in with a two-bagger.

465
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:01,160
So the Senators were their first rally of the night, they have runners stationed at second and third.

466
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:09,160
Menscher's third on Casanova's two-bagger and they'll bring up Lenny Randall.

467
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:15,160
The last two Washington batters here on the fourth inning have just gone to the opposite field for base hit.

468
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Menscher the left-hander, a ground hit to the left side, and now Casanova a right-hand batter, a double out to right field.

469
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:31,160
Frank Robinson has case to the mound, Etcheveron has also walked to the mound to talk with Grant Jackson.

470
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:36,160
So Jackson in his first struggling test of the night, he has Menscher a third.

471
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:42,160
Casanova back at him at second with first base open, Randall will be intentionally lost.

472
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,160
That'll bring up Cullen.

473
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Here's Ball too wide to Lenny Randall.

474
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:58,160
Cuenot and the third wide one.

475
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:09,160
Three balls, no strike. Randall in the process of being intentionally passed and there is Ball four.

476
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,160
That is Jackson's first walk of the night.

477
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Matter of fact, all season long while we're talking about walks, Jackson in release has had outstanding control.

478
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:26,160
Here's Cullen now batting and with Washington loading the bases against Jackson in the bottom of the fourth inning,

479
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,160
the bird bullpen gets busy with Tom Duke.

480
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:39,160
Jackson's longest release since this season was two in a plus back in late May against the Indians with the bases loaded.

481
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,160
He's pitching to Tim Cullen.

482
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:50,160
So it's an infield pop up and the infield and the infield flyer was in effect as Johnson makes the catch behind the mound.

483
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:57,160
Outnumber two recorded as Cullen skies to Johnson.

484
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,160
That'll bring up pictures.

485
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,160
Shelling back.

486
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:08,160
Menscher a third, Casanova at second and Randall at first base and two men out.

487
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,160
Cullen back was struck out by Jackson last inning.

488
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,160
Jackson winding, delivers, loads of Cullen back ball one.

489
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,160
Washington runners at every spot.

490
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,160
Menscher third, Casanova second, Randall first.

491
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:26,160
Menscher had the one out single, Casanova double and the intentional pass to Randall.

492
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,160
The one and only two men out.

493
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,160
Strike is called at the knees of Cullen back.

494
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:38,160
Jackson wasting no time, he wants to get out of this fourth inning without any damage.

495
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,160
He's winding the Cullen back one and one.

496
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:48,160
Strike outside corner at the knees.

497
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Cullen back has stepped out.

498
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,160
Jackson is ready to fire.

499
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,160
Now Cullen back is back inside.

500
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,160
Bases loaded, two men out.

501
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,160
Strollers ball game bottom of the fourth inning.

502
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,160
A round with his left arm and coming in one and two.

503
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,160
Jackson is low outside.

504
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,160
Two balls and two strikes.

505
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,160
Jackson taking a deep breath.

506
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,160
Now he leans forward to get Etch-a-Darn to weight wagging.

507
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Andy is sitting to the outside corner on the two-two at a Cullen back.

508
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:22,160
It's low, three balls, two strikes, bases loaded and two men out and everybody will start to move.

509
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,160
Now Etch-a-Darn is reminding Jackson, look you've been taking the full wind up,

510
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,160
but now with three balls and two strikes and two out on the bases loaded,

511
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,160
he has killed Jackson to go to a strike motion.

512
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,160
Jackson does that.

513
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Here's his three-two pitch.

514
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,160
Strike three, he gets out of it.

515
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,160
He burned the fastball right by Cullen back who gave it the three.

516
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,160
At the end of four and in.

517
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:51,160
Baltimore nothing, Washington nothing.

518
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,160
Well a courageous fit of pitching in the part of Grant Jackson to get him out of a nasty mess

519
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,160
in the bottom of the fourth inning.

520
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,160
The Orioles ready to come out on the side of the fifth.

521
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,160
When they step in, we step out for a station break.

522
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,160
This is the Baltimore Orioles baseball network.

523
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,160
Grandside speaking, urging you to be fully informed on what's going on in the world.

524
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:14,160
Here comes Jackson's new cast on Radio 11 WDAL Baltimore.

525
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,160
To do batter against the South Park Cullen back, as the Orioles come out of the eighth inning,

526
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:24,160
in the top of the fifth inning will be Andy Etch-a-Darn and Cullen back has held the Orioles to the two-base fifth.

527
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,160
The double by Johnson, the leadoff single by Reppemann and here we go to the top of the fifth and back to Bill.

528
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:33,160
And we go with Andy Etch-a-Darn, Chuck then Grant Jackson and Merv Reppemann.

529
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,160
Now we haven't had a ball game like this for quite a few days.

530
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Scorlist on the top of the fifth inning.

531
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,160
Load Andy Etch-a-Darn.

532
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,160
We did have a ball game somewhat like this to begin the Yankee series.

533
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:50,160
We had a one-one tie until a tie-breaking home run by L. Rod Henry.

534
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,160
And a missed tie at the back. One ball and one strike.

535
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,160
That was the third the opener to the Yankee series when the ball game was tied one-one

536
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:04,160
and then Hendricks sang the two-run homer in the sixth inning.

537
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,160
Two hits for the bird, five hits for the Senators and Scorlist in the fifth inning.

538
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,160
Here's the ground ball back to the mound, fielded by Cullen back.

539
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:17,160
His throw in plenty of time to venture and there's one gone in the top of the fifth inning.

540
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:24,160
Here's Grant Jackson now. He was up in the third and grounded out, short to first.

541
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:29,160
The Orioles hit thus far, have been by Reppemann to the first inning and by Johnson in the fourth.

542
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:34,160
Johnson's base knock with a deep two-bagger descent.

543
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:45,160
Jackson runs up to Bunt and doesn't get it, strike one.

544
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,160
Cullen back, winding and fires, swinging and a miss and a low-breaking ball.

545
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:55,160
0-2 to Grant Jackson.

546
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,160
Jackson stands right to the front of the box.

547
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:05,160
Jackson now is showing his bat to play dump-fire Russ Getz and Jackson may be asking for a new piece of lumber.

548
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,160
He is. He's taken a bat from Merv Reppemann.

549
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:14,160
Merv was waving a bat on deck. Jackson was just not satisfied with the bat he was using.

550
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,160
And he walked over to Merv and took Merv's bat.

551
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,160
0-2.

552
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:27,160
Low, one ball and two strikes.

553
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:33,160
Cullen back, uncorking his 1-2 delivery in the dirt and inside. Two balls, two strikes.

554
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:38,160
Jackson batting in the top of the fifth inning. Senators won the first game, 8-6.

555
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:43,160
And this ball game, the second one is scoreless with one down in the top of the fifth.

556
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,160
2-2 coming in.

557
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:55,160
Outside, three balls, two strikes.

558
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:01,160
Cullen back as he's done quite a bit in this ball game as Rates back, singered up on the Rosenberg.

559
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,160
His money deal right here to Jackson.

560
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,160
Plain strikeout.

561
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,160
That's the second strikeout tonight by Jim Cullen back.

562
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:25,160
And the leadoff man Reppemann with a base hit and he's round to the shore.

563
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Cullen back working to Merv. Low inside, ball one.

564
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,160
Orioles in Washington, here tomorrow night. Here Thursday night, both single games.

565
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,160
And then we move on to Beantown Friday night.

566
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:46,160
Saturday night, double header Saturday, single game, Sunday. Strike one, call to Merv.

567
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,160
One ball and one strike.

568
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:59,160
Cullen back, back again. Here he comes, one and one. He goes off speed and outside.

569
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:10,160
Three balls and one strike.

570
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Cullen back into his motion. He's inside low. Three balls and one strike.

571
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:24,160
Reppemann batting 272. Merv's got two homers, 22 runs batted in.

572
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:29,160
Three balls and one strike. Cullen back.

573
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:35,160
Sealivers. Bow ball back out of play.

574
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:43,160
3 and 2 to Reppemann. That's the cow with the bases empty in the top of the fifth inning and two men out.

575
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:48,160
In the single game here tomorrow night, it will be Jim Palmer against Dick Bosman.

576
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:55,160
A doula right-hander as Palmer goes after his chance win. Then McNally against Brown Thursday night.

577
00:47:55,160 --> 00:48:03,160
3 and 2. Fly ball well tagged. Keeps to left field and this is going to be a Merv Reppemann homerun.

578
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:14,160
Number three for Reppemann and that puts the Orioles ahead. One to nothing.

579
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:20,160
Third that free base hit down a nice gap and that's number two for Reppemann.

580
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:25,160
The first inning single and now the solo four-bagger with two gone here in the top of the sixth inning.

581
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,160
They'll get the Orioles out of hit now. One to nothing and bring up Paul Blair.

582
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,160
Blair slides to right and safe on an infield error.

583
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:45,160
Swings and doesn't get a high set ball. So one striker by the South Park.

584
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:57,160
He goes off speed and plate. One ball in one strike.

585
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:08,160
To the wind up, Shellenback against Blair. One and one off speed and outside. Two balls in one strike.

586
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,160
Shellenback scuffing a bit at the rubber again reaching back to that Rousenbag.

587
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:20,160
He's in his wind up. Two and one. South break back. Two balls, two strikes and two men out.

588
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:33,160
After four scoreless innings, the long home run wallop deep to left by Reppemann has snapped the scoreless side.

589
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:39,160
Blair on the Shellenback, two to pitch. Bows it back behind the plate.

590
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:45,160
Blair now has requested time. He's looking at his left hand. He might have,

591
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:51,160
it's kind of tough to figure what might have happened. He might have maybe split a nail on the left hand.

592
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:57,160
He's being looked at right around the Oriole Batrack. Although we are screened from the actual location,

593
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:05,160
I would assume he's being looked at by both manager Earl Weaver and trainer Ralph Salvon.

594
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:12,160
Blair is holding the bat in his right hand and whatever is bothering him is on his left hand.

595
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:25,160
Blair has been worked on now by Ralph Salvon and Blair now ready to go again against Shellenback.

596
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,160
Two to pitch coming right in. Sal to the screen.

597
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:43,160
As Blair just fouled off that pitch, he was holding the bat again in his left hand and shaking his right hand.

598
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:48,160
Two to her once again to Blair. Ground ball back of third, backhanded neatly by Nelson.

599
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:54,160
Grills out Blair. Another nifty fielding play by the Washington third baseman, Retires of the Star.

600
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:59,160
But the Orioles' Gill ahead on the two on home run by Merv Ratanon and in the middle of the ball game, the score,

601
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:12,160
the Orioles won and Washington nothing.

602
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,160
Well we're ready to go to the bottom of the fifth inning and Chuck Thompson is ready.

603
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:20,160
Thank you very much Bill. Good evening again everybody. Here is a strike call to Dell Hunters.

604
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,160
We start the last half of the fifth inning. Unser 0-2 against Grant Jackson.

605
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,160
Pilepsy deals right over the outside corner of the letters and two strikes now to the left hand swinging.

606
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:33,160
Unser, this is the first start of 71 for Grant Jackson.

607
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,160
He was supposed to have started a couple of games earlier this year.

608
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:42,160
Got rained out every time. Strike three call. Three of them right about in the same area over the outer edge of the plate.

609
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:47,160
One of them might have been about bell hide. The last one looked like it was up around the letters and Jackson knocked his strike out.

610
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:53,160
Number five.

611
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:59,160
One down and here now Dave Nelson. He's been out on the ground ball to Brooks III and then drilled a single to right field in the third inning.

612
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:11,160
Right handed swingers straight away stance cut in a foul up the screen. Strike one today and he also contributed a couple of fine defensive plays down there at the hot corner.

613
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:18,160
What a difference between two ball games. The first game was a wide open freeze swinging free scoring affair.

614
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:24,160
Senators one at eight to six. Strike two call. Mr. Jackson is full of strikes right now.

615
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:28,160
0-2 to the right hand batting Nelson.

616
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:33,160
Jackson to his move the two strike pitch. Breaking ball hit on a line toward the second base from Johnson.

617
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:40,160
He grubs his right off the shoe top and Nelson is the second out of the inning on the line drive to second base from Johnson.

618
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,160
And here's the huge man. Mr. Frank Howard.

619
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:51,160
Single the right center of the first inning. Slide to the right field of retina who made a cross country job to catch up with us live off in the third.

620
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:56,160
And again the Orioles will jam the third base side of the infield with three infielders.

621
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:01,160
That leaves Frank Robinson all along on the first base side.

622
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:08,160
Jackson's move is pitch to Frank Howard. A fastball is outside and low ball on.

623
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:14,160
What kind of thought run through a pitcher's mind when he stands out there 60 feet six inches away from the man this guy.

624
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:19,160
The pitch. High fly ball deep right center. Retman and Blair are coming over out of the ball.

625
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:27,160
Retman and Blair are there and Blair makes the catch.

626
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,160
Here is Frank Robinson against Jim Schellenback. I'm the southpaw's first offering is low inside ball one.

627
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:39,160
Frank's guide to center field will not pitch you to first. Oh for two and six for two coming in tonight's game against Washington.

628
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,160
A line drive on the alley in left center field is going to be in for the base.

629
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:49,160
Rushing over to cut it off is Elliott Maddox and Frank Robinson starts the Orioles sixth inning with a line shot on the alley in left center.

630
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:56,160
That'll bring out Brooks Robinson. He has twice hit the ball of center fielder Elliott Maddox.

631
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:05,160
These two clubs have played two games now on the third of the five game series and in the first two games they scored 23 runs and that 49 base hit.

632
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:10,160
I don't know what happened to this ball game. It's one to nothing Baltimore and only nine hits. The pitch.

633
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:17,160
High fly ball right field way racing over the second baseman Randall in foul ground now Randall is staying with him and makes the catch.

634
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:35,160
Looks Robinson first ball hitting fouls to the second baseman Randall down behind the first base.

635
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:45,160
And about an hour will be Dave Johnson with one out and Frank Robinson at first base. Johnson was retired in a good play by third baseman Dave Nelson in the second inning

636
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:51,160
and then he drilled a double in the alley in left center. Dave says Mr. Empire take a look at that baseball gets looked at it.

637
00:54:51,160 --> 00:55:00,160
It's OK and returns it to Schellenbach as Bill has told you in the baseball terminology. Here's a quick throw to first base.

638
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:09,160
Schellenbach is sometimes referred to as a junk baller but he also will use the fastball and he stops it occasionally and does not try to throw it really for strikes.

639
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:19,160
He just tries to get you to chase it. The pitch today is low with a fastball ball one but he has a pretty good assortment of breaking stuff.

640
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:26,160
Not too many years ago this fellow was in a terrible automobile accident made felt that he would never play baseball again.

641
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:35,160
But he fooled him. Though one nothing today. Swing and a miss at the off speed pitch.

642
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:46,160
Give you an idea of the injuries this fellow sustained. He had suffered a compound fracture of the right leg rib fracture sprained left wrist tongue lacerations and internal injuries and made it back.

643
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:59,160
The one one pitch today Johnson inside and low ball to Frank Robinson open the inning with a single left center. He's there at first base with one away.

644
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:10,160
Frank walks out a pretty good lead against the left hand looks of Jim Schellenbach. The stuff by the South ball the pitch today breaking ball outside on the count is three balls and one strike.

645
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:19,160
Well I know a lot of you who listen rather intently to Oriole broadcast and know a little bit about the way manager Earl Weaver Weaver runs a ball club.

646
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:26,160
You have Johnson hitting or taking on the free two on the free one excuse me the pitch he swings I fly ball third base side.

647
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:36,160
Third baseman Nelson is waiting for it and foul ground and he makes the catch right down near the back of the second out of the inning.

648
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,160
Two down.

649
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:43,160
And I hear is Kurt Moten who has walked and grounded the second base.

650
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,160
In two trips to the plate.

651
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:54,160
Because appeared as a pinch hitter in the first game of the season and rule walk.

652
00:56:54,160 --> 00:57:00,160
Schellenbach first offering to cut swing a foul out of play strike one.

653
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:07,160
Here's a young man who last year suddenly decided he'd like to try the great old sport of funding.

654
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:15,160
And he has become the most rabid hunter you've ever run into.

655
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:23,160
Now the one strike pitch to cut change up popped up third base side here comes Nelson the third baseman of the catcher Casanova it'll be Nelson the third baseman.

656
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:30,160
Making the catch and foul ground at the end of five and a half innings the Orioles one and the center is nothing.

657
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:38,160
Okay there's Grant Jackson ready to take on Elliott Maddox the right hand swinging Washington center fielder he looks at the first offering outside ball one.

658
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:44,160
Maddox hitting to a fourth in the first inning tried to put his way on and the fourth inning was thrown out by Jackson one of those.

659
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:53,160
Bing Bing type plays and the one that he kept coming high popped out first base side made the out of play racing over his extra bound to give it a look in its back in the.

660
00:57:53,160 --> 00:58:02,160
One ball one try here Elliott Maddox.

661
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:11,160
It'll be Maddox Mincer and Paul Casanova in that order against Grant Jackson who tonight is making that long awaited first start for the Orioles.

662
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:17,160
The first time he lost the chance to start a couple of times earlier this year from the birds were rained out.

663
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,160
Here is another high foul in the same area.

664
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:28,160
Birds have been rained out eight times this year and unfortunately five of those rainouts have been at home.

665
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,160
That's just about enough rain to last for a few seasons.

666
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,160
One and two the counts of the batter Elliott Maddox.

667
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:41,160
Jackson has a time flashed by at the bottom and the Husty left center brings the arm down a systematic line drive well hit deep right field.

668
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:53,160
Retman going hard to the right field going he is there and let one hold it in that it hit the ball very well to do right center and Retman was able to get in front of it and make the.

669
00:58:53,160 --> 00:59:08,160
That away and about an hour John Mincer had a fine first game with three for four and in the second game so far he has popped the short and had an infield hit to short and there will not be too many infield hit in the career of the likes of John Mincer.

670
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:15,160
Big strong very likeable Alabama.

671
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:24,160
And yet the down is gone to the mound and talked a little bit with Grant Jackson about the mentor.

672
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:31,160
And Jackson's first offering is too low to be less than about some ball one.

673
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:36,160
No store Cleveland Boston at the end of two in the second game the Indians won the first one nine to three.

674
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:45,160
I called a black and forward over the outside corner of the news one ball one strike.

675
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:46,160
Now the one one offering.

676
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:59,160
We're going to miss the ball and keep right talking about the unfortunate action of pitcher Jim Scalindac well this young man down mentor to train an unfortunate baseball action he was struck in the face by a family foul fastball.

677
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:07,160
Jackson missed with a curve outside of two balls and two strikes.

678
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:08,160
What's the weather.

679
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:12,160
The two to the mentor outside again ball three.

680
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,160
All cap ran through the mentor.

681
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:29,160
Jackson rocked over the rubber the pitch ground ball shot the hitters by the second base and out of the right center field for another mentor.

682
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:37,160
One out single the right center off the bat of mentor brings in Paul captain over captain over stuck out in the second inning and in the fourth inning.

683
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:49,160
He had a line drive right down the right field line into the opposite corner good for two bases as the senators loaded the bases with only one out from the bottom of the fourth against Jackson but could not break through.

684
01:00:49,160 --> 01:01:15,160
Jackson's pitch is to try to catch an over ball one time after that is going up to cross again the grand Jackson.

685
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:27,160
Now the one of the kids to catch an over the left handed deal is a mighty swing and a miss from captain over and account even to the ball in the strike mentor the runner at first base he's had a very fine series he had a hit in the opening game.

686
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:33,160
He had three in the first game he's got two in this game a total of six hit in the three games played so far.

687
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,160
And we just a little more than halfway through this one.

688
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:41,160
The one one pitch to captain over swinging the ground power right at the place.

689
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:50,160
The only thing that's up and throwing in the Oriole bullpen and they've got a little activity out on the senator bullpen.

690
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:57,160
The Oriole bullpen is stuck away in the left field corner the senator bullpen is in the left center field back to back out there.

691
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,160
A ball two strikes the captain over Jackson ready to go.

692
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,160
He checks the runner at first base field just inside.

693
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,160
Two balls two strikes.

694
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:15,160
Casey Cox is the right hander throwing in the Washington bullpen.

695
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:21,160
Now the two to captain over swing and a miss he struck him out and for that he might be strikeout number six.

696
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:34,160
Two away in the Washington half of the six and about an hour will be Lenny Randall Lenny a single a center field in the second inning and he was given the intentional walk in the fourth inning.

697
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:50,160
And it really paid off it loaded the bases with one out and then Jackson got telling him to pop up and telling back on a strikeout strike over the inside corner.

698
01:02:50,160 --> 01:03:00,160
Mentor leads first base with two down Jackson is inside with a single even a count at one ball and one strike.

699
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:04,160
Robinson at first base here in the second game for the Orioles.

700
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:10,160
Jackson controls and there's a long foul ball down the left field side and out of play.

701
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,160
And it bounced out of the seats and back out of the playing field.

702
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,160
Kurt Moten has to go over to retrieve it.

703
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:22,160
A count of a ball and two strikes to Lenny Randall.

704
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:30,160
There's all and he's a former baseball or a pretty good baseball school Arizona State University.

705
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,160
Mentor just gone out to talk to his first base coach.

706
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,160
Nellie Fox now he's back on the bag and we're ready to do business again.

707
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,160
The count of all and two strikes.

708
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,160
Jackson set fire.

709
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:55,160
A curve ball on the screen behind the plate.

710
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,160
Now the one to put to Lenny Randall.

711
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,160
Ground ball shot me hit it.

712
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:10,160
He's got a control the second base before submitters who end the inning and at the end of sixth complete it's Baltimore one Washington nothing.

713
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:14,160
The first report on the second game in the Indian Red Sox double headed Boston.

714
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:19,160
It's called us between the Indians and the Red Sox going to the top of the third with Rick Hand against Sonny's fever.

715
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,160
The Indians won the first game by a score of nine to three.

716
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:28,160
Mark Valangelo leads off against Schellenbach and here's a strike call to Mark.

717
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:33,160
Valangelo tonight has popped the short slide to right field in two previous turns.

718
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,160
He shows a four hit here in the series.

719
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:41,160
The fifth coming to Valangelo in the first and that level of count of the ball and the strike.

720
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,160
Valangelo will be followed by Andy Etcheverne and then pitcher Grant Jackson.

721
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:50,160
We owe you a station break up and down the Oriole network and we'll get it for you as soon as possible.

722
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:58,160
Six playing in a looping five all the channel center field Maddox coming on will not get there and it's not for the base.

723
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,160
And on that base it we're going to take a station break.

724
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,160
This is the Baltimore Oriole baseball network.

725
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:13,160
This is Dick Steffen advising you to hear John Sedlin first wire broadcast at 715 mornings on radio 11 WB Allen Baltimore.

726
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:20,160
Etcheverne steps in and the station break reminded us the fact we had a visitor from down in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight.

727
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,160
Rayford Hill came by our booth to say hello came up to watch the Orioles.

728
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:27,160
He listened to him out of WS LS in Roanoke, Virginia.

729
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:33,160
First a swing and a foul ball out of play on the mezzanine behind the plate strike one to Andy Etcheverne.

730
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:38,160
He has banned and put a pampered of them out.

731
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:47,160
He talks is throwing again in the Washington bullpen.

732
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:54,160
Shunnenbach has the fine is one strike hit to Andy curveball to get foul out of play behind the plate 0 and 2.

733
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,160
This is the fifth start of the year for Shunnenbach.

734
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,160
He's thrown one complete ball game.

735
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:04,160
His record on the year one win and three defeats.

736
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:12,160
The home run that retten on here against the Shunnenbach is count for the Orioles one and nothing lead is only the sixth home run thrown by Shunnenbach this year.

737
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:16,160
The two strike pitch for the waiting Andy Etcheverne gets a bit high.

738
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,160
One ball two strikes.

739
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:24,160
Again Shunnenbach kind of wasting that fastball up high and Etcheverne refused to chase it.

740
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:30,160
The lander at first nobody else.

741
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:37,160
The second one is thrown by Shunnenbach the one to get to Etcheverne ground ball off the third day side to steal the whole out of the left field for a base knock.

742
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:45,160
The lander looks down the second base and Etcheverne has his first hit of the series a single in the whole of a field.

743
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:54,160
That brings up the pitcher Grant Jackson and the senator in field now defensively will set up to handle a Grant Jackson bun.

744
01:06:54,160 --> 01:07:00,160
The left hand is in order and Washington defensively is setting up the playoff.

745
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:07,160
Jackson the left handed thrower but a right handed batter been to the plate twice been to the plate twice tonight is grounded the short and struck out.

746
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:14,160
Shunnenbach ready to go to set and the pitcher Jackson the bun is on he gets a foul pitch strike.

747
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:24,160
Try to bunch the ball and just stick the foul into the middle of the half and over.

748
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:30,160
Behind Grant Jackson comes lead off to the Merve Rettenmond.

749
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:35,160
One strike to Jackson if the pitcher bun is still in order Shunnenbach is ready.

750
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:43,160
Jackson the swings and fouls just went down the right field side and out of play so they have the bun on and the first pitch took it off on the second pitch.

751
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:53,160
Now looks the third base coach Billy Hunter to determine whether he'll be swinging or bunting on the strike set.

752
01:07:53,160 --> 01:08:00,160
Birds and the senators are here again tomorrow night and again on Thursday night games or single games here in Washington started 730.

753
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,160
Two strikes it's the Jack.

754
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,160
He bunched foul and that'll be a strikeout.

755
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:11,160
Number three in the strikeout column for Jim Shunnenbach.

756
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Tom of the batting order Merve Rettenmond he's two for three.

757
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:23,160
I guess lefty Jim Shunnenbach he had a first inning single to right field and a full home run in the fifth inning and it was a pretty good shot at that.

758
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:30,160
Well a familiar side in game number one is on the scene again in game two pitching coach.

759
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:35,160
Hudson is making his way to the mound and he'll talk a little bit with Casanova and Shunnenbach.

760
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:41,160
They have the right handed Casey Cox ready in the Washington bullpen.

761
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:49,160
The Orioles leading at one to nothing have won out and runners at first and second here in this top of the seventh inning of game number two.

762
01:08:49,160 --> 01:09:10,160
Hudson delivered the message and is on his way back to the dugout on the dead run and Shunnenbach will stay in the ball game.

763
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:15,160
Waiting for Shunnenbach first pitch now to Merve Rettenmond.

764
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:31,160
The left hander throws he's outside and low ball one.

765
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:46,160
One ball no strikes for Rettenmond one away runners at first and second base pitch is a high breaking ball and the countdown to an old Merve.

766
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:56,160
Jim Palmer will shoot for victory number 10 tomorrow night here against the Senators and Dave McNally for number 12 on Thursday night.

767
01:09:56,160 --> 01:10:01,160
To an old account to Rettenmond the land to its second extra bar in at first and one away.

768
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:22,160
The left hander kicks and fires breaking ball low and it's three balls no strikes for Rettenmond.

769
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:30,160
Shunnenbach ready with a three nothing pitch to Rettenmond he deals low ball four and they are loaded for Paul Blair.

770
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:34,160
And now here comes Hudson again and this apparently is going to be it for Shunnenbach.

771
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:37,160
It's the second visit if Hudson goes to the mound.

772
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:38,160
He is not going to the mound.

773
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:43,160
However he is coming over to talk to the plate umpire Russ Getz.

774
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:49,160
And now he is going to go out of the mound because they will make more than just a pitching change.

775
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:58,160
So Shunnenbach is going to be listed and while the new pitcher makes his way to the mound let's pause for a moment.

776
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:01,160
Well these Senators are not only making a change at the mound.

777
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:06,160
Listing starter Jim Shunnenbach and bringing on the right hander Ray Pertasey shot.

778
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,160
They are also making an infield change as a matter of fact changes both short and second.

779
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:17,160
Tim Cullen the shortstop remains in the ballgame but moves over to second base in place of Lenny Randall.

780
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:21,160
And then Hara comes out of the Washington dugout and Hara will be the new shortstop.

781
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,160
So Hara to short and Cullen moves from short to second.

782
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:33,160
As far as their spots in the batting order are concerned Cox will bat seventh that's where Randall had been and Hara will bat ninth.

783
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:37,160
And nationally that's where the starter Shunnenbach had been.

784
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,160
Shunnenbach gives up a hit to Belanger and Etterberg in the center.

785
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:43,160
He did get Jackson Bunningfowl on a third strike.

786
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:48,160
And he has just walked wreck and run and he has been yanked in favor of Casey Cox.

787
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,160
So Shunnenbach were six and one through to ninth.

788
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:54,160
He has given up a total of six base hits.

789
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:58,160
He has walked two and he has spanned three.

790
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:05,160
And it was Casey Cox who was the really picture with the tie run aboard in the top of the ninth inning of game one.

791
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:11,160
As a matter of fact Casey Cox came on with only one man out and he got to Brooks Robinson on a fly ball

792
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:17,160
and he got to Pinchinger Frank Robinson on a ground ball and an eventual fielders choice to wrap up the ball game.

793
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:23,160
So Casey Cox has replaced Shunnenbach with a bird continuing his retina here in the top of the seventh inning.

794
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,160
They are leading one to nothing.

795
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,160
They've got the bases loaded.

796
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,160
They've got retina on the first.

797
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,160
They've got Etterberg in second and Belanger at third and now they bat Paul Blair.

798
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,160
Here comes Paul.

799
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,160
He's reached one time tonight in the second game on an error.

800
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:44,160
And the third inning has fly to right and grounded to the third base from Nelson again.

801
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:51,160
Bases loaded one away and the big ball right handed Casey Cox ready to go to Paul Blair.

802
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,160
With a look toward third Cox goes to the move and delivers.

803
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:58,160
Blair swings here the high pop fly to shallow right back to second base and on the right fielder

804
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,160
and it is the second base from making the catch.

805
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:07,160
As Cullen raised back under a looping pop up into shallow right and made a fine running over the shoulder catch

806
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,160
to retire Paul Blair.

807
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:15,160
Good move and a part of the new second baseman Cullen he has moved from short to second as Bill told you.

808
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:21,160
And with two down now on the bases loaded the batter is Frank Robinson.

809
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:27,160
Frank fly to center, bounce to the mound and then drill the single in the alley in left center field last time on in the sixth inning.

810
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:33,160
And in the first game of the double header as Bill told you it was Frank batting against Casey Cox in the top of the ninth inning

811
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:54,160
that hit into a fourth play that ended the ballgame.

812
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,160
Frank stands in, we're ready to go.

813
01:13:56,160 --> 01:14:00,160
Everywhere you look there's an Oreo, the lander at third base, here's the first one to Frank,

814
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,160
sets his swing and takes it inside for the ball, the lander at third,

815
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:09,160
extra bar in a second and Merv Retman the runner at first base.

816
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,160
One ball, no strike to Frank Robinson.

817
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:24,160
Silly hunter base-hate for third base coaching boss, he gets on the outfield side of it against Frank who has hit some rather mean foul balls down that way.

818
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:32,160
Now the one-hutting pitch to Frank, Cox the relieving right-handed delivers, ground ball hit off the third base side, the shortstop power is there, the throw goes to second base, not in time.

819
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:46,160
And the run scores, a hustling Merv Retman beats the throw to second base and the Orioles pick up another run.

820
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:56,160
Frank Robinson reaches on the fielders' choice, he is also credited with a run batted in and the Orioles lead the Senators now by a score of 2-0.

821
01:14:56,160 --> 01:15:03,160
Kara took the ground ball and drilled a throw to second base and Cullen, but Retman on sheer hustle, beats the throw.

822
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:10,160
Bases remain loaded and here is Brooks.

823
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:26,160
The thing and a foul ball out of play behind the plate, strike one, the run is charged to the now departed Jim Cullen back and the Orioles have a 2-0 lead over the Senators here in this top half of the seventh inning.

824
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:41,160
The runs and base hits are a lot tougher come by here in the night-cap than they were in the first game as the Senators pounded out 15 hits in the first game and beat the Orioles 8-6.

825
01:15:41,160 --> 01:16:02,160
This is all for three in game number two the season, twice fly to center and top to the second base in the pitch. Lowell and a ball, one ball once strike to Brooks Robinson.

826
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:11,160
Frank at first, Retman at second, Etzter barring a third, two down and Cox ready to go now with a 1-1 offering to Brooks Robinson.

827
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:24,160
He's got a strike over the outer corner of the knees, good hard breaking pitch from Casey. One ball, two strikes.

828
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:37,160
Frank Robinson has not been four runs in the series so far and we've got two more games to go, a single tomorrow night, a single Thursday night.

829
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:45,160
Now the 1-2 pitch for the waiting Brooks Robinson, now Casey Cox broke contact with the rubberies, not quite ready to go.

830
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:55,160
And on a big right hander seems all set to look to third to move in the 1-2 to Brooks. With a looping fly ball down the first base side and foul ground and under it is first base from Minter for the final out.

831
01:16:55,160 --> 01:17:06,160
Actually it was kind of a stacked swing and Brooks fouls for the first base from Minter for the final out. At the end of 6-1-1, Baltimore 2, Washington nothing.

832
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:18,160
Well a little late at 2-0 behind Grant Jackson as we move to the bottom of the seventh inning, the birds have made quite a few defense and switches. Frank Robinson, the first baseman stays in the ball game, Frank Robinson goes to right field.

833
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:29,160
The new first baseman will be Boobs Powell and Merv Retman who had been playing right field also remains in the ball game. Retman moves to left field replacing Kurt Moten.

834
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:37,160
So Powell as far as the Oriole batting order is concerned, Powell will bat in Moten's spot between Johnson and Blank.

835
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:47,160
Okay, Chuck, here's the ball one inside of the right hand swinging Cullen as we go to the last half of the seventh inning.

836
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:53,160
One ball, no strike to Cullen. And behind Cullen will come Toby Hara.

837
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:59,160
A strike call over the inside portion right at the hands and Cullen ran the hands up the bat and leaned in over the base, took it all the way.

838
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:04,160
A ball and a strike. Toby Hara behind Cullen.

839
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:18,160
Jack controls, strike to Cullen. Again he worked it inside right at the hands for Cullen.

840
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:31,160
Now the one two pitch coming, low and inside, two ball, two strike.

841
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:36,160
Jackson's two-two offering to Cullen, a swing and a foul on the netting behind the plate, not a full swing.

842
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:42,160
It was the first time he tried to stop it and didn't get the bat out of the way.

843
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:52,160
The right-handed Tommy Deuce is staying loose in the Oriole bullpen. Jackson in his first start of the year for the Orioles, now working in the bottom of the seventh inning, with a two-to-nothing lead.

844
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:57,160
The two-two to Cullen. Strike three on a foul tip of a check swing.

845
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:06,160
Cullen stops the swing and the ball just nips the bat and etch-a-bar and squeezes it. And Jackson notches strikeout number seven.

846
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:18,160
Now here comes Toby Hara in last night's Oriole victory in a losing toss. This young man had two hits in four trips.

847
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:28,160
And on the season Toby Hara is hitting two fifty-four. Right-handed batsman of Toby.

848
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:39,160
Jackson waits for him to get in. He's already and now the Lessie's pitch is cut out and fouled out of play behind the plate. Strike one to Toby Hara.

849
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:45,160
The Oriole outfield is set to play Hara as a full hitter as Blair is pretty well around in the alley in the left center.

850
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:56,160
Well drive down the Lessie's side, it's a foul ball and it's going to be out of play. Two strikes to Toby Hara.

851
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:07,160
0-2 the count. Jackson looking at the sign flashed by etch-a-bar and starts the motion control. Here's a line drive base hit into center field.

852
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:16,160
And Toby Hara has a one-out single to get the center to start in here on the bottom of the seventh inning. And that'll bring on the top of the batting order.

853
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:27,160
There's a line drive base hit into center field. And the etch-a-bar is making some signs to manager Earl Weaver.

854
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:35,160
And if I read the signs correctly it's indicating the fact that Jackson has come up with some kind of a blister perhaps on his throwing hand.

855
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:45,160
And etch-a-bar wants manager Earl Weaver to go out there and take a look at it. And Weaver and plate umpire, Russ Getzer there doing just exactly that.

856
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:53,160
I don't know whether this can be ruled an injury visit or whether it's going to be a charge visit for manager Earl Weaver.

857
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:59,160
Weaver has looked at it. Jackson a little bit of the nodding of the head. Is it to say yes, I think I'm okay.

858
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:06,160
And it apparently has something to do with the throwing hand and the guess would be not to leave it a blister.

859
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:12,160
But etch-a-bar and wanted his manager to get out there and take a look at this thing.

860
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:17,160
They are now apprised to the situation. Tony Duce is going pretty good in the Oriole bullpen.

861
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:21,160
And the left hand swinging Del Unfors on a first base Toby Harrop.

862
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:28,160
Jackson's pitch punted off the third base side. It's going to be in foul ground and etch-a-bar and picks it off quickly.

863
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:34,160
Unfors' front attempts to just foul down the third base side and etch-a-bar and pounced on it.

864
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:38,160
One strike to counter Del Unfors.

865
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:42,160
Unfors had one hit and nine trips coming into this ball game.

866
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:52,160
And now stands there with a total of one and twelve. He had a seven game hitting streak stopped by the Orioles in the first game tonight.

867
01:21:52,160 --> 01:22:00,160
One away, Harrop, a runner at first, booed Powell is holding it in and Jackson eyeing the signs from etch-a-bar and collects his one strike offering.

868
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:12,160
He's going outside in a good save by Andy Etch-a-bar. One ball, one strike.

869
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:17,160
Now a pretty good crowd of 11,072 now begin to jump into the ball game here in Washington.

870
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:26,160
So one, one to one third. Strike two called as Jackson again for it over the outside portion right around the hand.

871
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:34,160
Jackson got the un-sure looking at a third strike in the fifth inning and it was about in the same area over the outer portion of the plate, maybe up around the letter.

872
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,160
Now the one to the leading Del Unfors. Here it is.

873
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,160
Pointing a foul right behind the plate.

874
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:45,160
Count rides of all two strikes. Well the Yankees and the Tigers put a pair this afternoon.

875
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:49,160
The first one went to Detroit seven or four but I count for the Yankees two to one.

876
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:55,160
Indians found the Red Sox nine to three in the first game and there's no score in the second game.

877
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:59,160
The Red Sox the runner to put the second for all to throw the second base is much too high.

878
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:08,160
But Andy went leaping up to save the throw and in with the throw and base is Toby Harris.

879
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:12,160
That'll be his second seal of the year.

880
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:24,160
So Toby Harris, seal second and the count now to all two strikes the Bel Unfors.

881
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,160
And the pitch. Jackson's throw.

882
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,160
Low on outside and now it's three and two.

883
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:36,160
Throw counts to un-sure.

884
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:42,160
This is ready in the Oriole bullpen. This is quite a sin for Grant Jackson.

885
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:47,160
He's been strictly a reliever this year and his payoff three to the un-sure.

886
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:54,160
Swinging the ground ball at the second base from Johnson's almost bad hopped over his head. He's loved it firing the power for the second out of the inning.

887
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,160
And on the play down to third base goes Toby Harris.

888
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:11,160
Two down and about an hour will be Dave Nelson.

889
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:21,160
Jackson's longest since this year has been two and a third innings. That's quite a while ago against Cleveland on the 27th of May.

890
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:30,160
The pitch to Nelson inside right up around the letters and Dave spins back out of the way. They're all one.

891
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:42,160
I'm called manager Earl Weaver figures that this might be the time to go get Grant Jackson and the problem appears to be some sort of a hurt to the pitching hand.

892
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:51,160
Whether it's a blister or what it might be I'm not too sure but manager Earl Weaver has gone to the mound and the extra down is also out there with him.

893
01:24:51,160 --> 01:25:00,160
These are tough moments for a manager and for a pitcher and actually any pitcher worth his salt just will you know fight to stay in the ball game.

894
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:15,160
He'll say anything to his manager in an effort to get the manager to change the mind but Weaver does not change his mind and Grant Jackson heads for the dugout with a very fine stand against the senator tonight in his first start as an Oleo.

895
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:22,160
I'll check if I may add your comments. I think there are quite a few remarkable things about what Grant Jackson has accomplished tonight.

896
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:35,160
Number one as you just pointed out a couple of moments ago his longest relief since this season two and one third innings back in late May against the Indians in the ball game back in Baltimore.

897
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:47,160
Additionally with this thing his first shot. Jackson has not even worked in the game in relief since the 15th of this month that was back home against Milwaukee or just a week ago tonight.

898
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:53,160
So he had done no pitching on the mound even as a releaser in one week's time.

899
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:59,160
Despite the fact that he has not worked a lot despite the fact that most of his relief appearances have all been very short.

900
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:05,160
Tonight making his first oil start of the year and a week away from his last pitching appearance as well.

901
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:09,160
Jackson's control are just simply outstanding. He did walk a man.

902
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:17,160
So that was Randall in the fourth inning but Randall was intentionally more when Washington had runners that second and third and just one out.

903
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:28,160
And it was there that perhaps Jackson was at his very best because when he walked Randall to load him up with only one out he got Cullen on a pop up and then also retired the side to get out of the damage.

904
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:34,160
And leave the mound with the bases loaded and keep the ball game scoreless at nothing nothing.

905
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:41,160
Since that time and running through now in the bottom of the seventh inning Jackson has recorded seven strikeouts.

906
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:50,160
So the count of one ball and no strikes to Dave Nelson for a couple of reasons I'm sure weaver has brought on to replace Grant Jackson.

907
01:26:50,160 --> 01:27:01,160
But one thing among others that weaver would like to avoid since there are two men out and since Dave Nelson is the batter and since they've got a runner a third base pair up.

908
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:11,160
Because I've all been very short tonight making his first oil start of the year and a week away from his last pitching appearance as well.

909
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:21,160
And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.

910
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:31,160
And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.

911
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:41,160
And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.

912
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:51,160
And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.

913
01:27:51,160 --> 01:28:01,160
And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.

914
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:11,160
And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.

915
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:21,160
Because if Nelson gets the board that's exactly what would happen.

916
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:31,160
Trying to retire Nelson trying to get out of the beginning trying to keep the two nothing lead and trying additionally to avoid facing Howard.

917
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:42,160
Still that's extremely well put and here is Tommy Duke with a thing in the middle from Dave Nelson and he talks about not getting Nelson the board to get Howard to the plate.

918
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:49,160
This is now making his 14th appearance of the year and he's only walked three batters that he throws strikes.

919
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:59,160
But this thing in the middle two strikes as a matter of fact the last time Tommy crossed the line and got in the ball game he came in with one out in the base is loaded against Milwaukee and struck out Kenya.

920
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:05,160
Well we have two down the runner at third base of Hera and a ball and two strikes the counts and Nelson.

921
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:13,160
The right hand of Duke fires swinging in this and he struck him out a foul tip evidently but that's the bar and squeezes in and how's that for really fitting.

922
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:17,160
At the end of seven it's Baltimore two watching them nothing.

923
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:31,160
And those of you who have been listening to our second game broadcast from the very beginning you may remember comments that we made earlier tonight about some severe foul tips that were taken on the test protectors that both the plate umplired get some catchers chasin over real early in the ball game

924
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,160
and we were wondering and thinking out loud.

925
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,160
I wonder who was the first one ever to wear a test protector.

926
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:40,160
Well thanks to Mr. Tom Gibbs of Pikeville, Maryland.

927
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:51,160
We have found out first man to ever wear a test protector with Charles Bennett of the Detroit Wolverine and the year 1885.

928
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:53,160
I could have remembered that.

929
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:54,160
You normally do.

930
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:59,160
Here we go with Dave Johnson and the ball one is down.

931
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:09,160
Dave tonight has been up three times delivered with a base hitter double in the fourth inning and the right handed caught fire again and breaking to cut on and follow behind the plate of all in the strike today.

932
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:15,160
Dave leads the ball club in double he hit his 13th level in that fourth inning.

933
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:22,160
Casey Cox wants another baseball and Russ gets a very fine plate on fire provides him with one.

934
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:34,160
He missed the first game final it was Washington eight Baltimore six and the center's something Oriole for 15 hits the one one high ball two two balls in strike today.

935
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:40,160
We're a Macabre eight thing on the nightcap.

936
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:53,160
But who wants it high fly ball right to your way cutting over comes down on sir coming on now toward the foul line on sir there makes the catch one away.

937
01:30:53,160 --> 01:31:22,160
Now we got to power was batting in the box normally occupied by Curt Houghton and we got a fine first game he knocked in a pair of runs and he had two hits in four trips and a total of six in the series with five runs batted in ball one to find outside the booth.

938
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:28,160
It's a little time to retire to late and now we're ready to go again.

939
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:46,160
Big Casey Cox round the mound he is pitching a relief of starter Jim Schumann back the one nothing that's coming to power high ball two both starters Schumann back and Grant Jackson did an outstanding job for their respective managers tonight the Orioles lead by a score of two to nothing.

940
01:31:46,160 --> 01:32:04,160
The senators have out hit the Orioles seven to six the two nothing to power he looked at the strike two and one.

941
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:20,160
And the breaking ball going inside run the count up now three balls and strike.

942
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:49,160
And the first game was a double and he scored a run.

943
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:55,160
Well we had a little conference out there and around the mound between the captain over and his sister Casey Cox.

944
01:32:55,160 --> 01:33:11,160
Venture is not going to hold the power to serve face one away and the set by the Washington right handed a fixable Andrew is psyched right across the letters.

945
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:19,160
And that's one of the newer American League umpires and he's a highly respected young umpire is left yet.

946
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:23,160
And the American League is acquiring quite a few good new umpires to pitch.

947
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:30,160
Loan outside all one one ball and one strike lead power with a false start the second base.

948
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:37,160
I guess he's remembering the stolen base he had in the first game we follow you that station break and they get it momentarily.

949
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:46,160
Now the one wonder waiting mark the land here fly ball right the away coming up with a ball is on sir and he's in position to make the chance and that's all for the second out and we take a station break.

950
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:50,160
This is the bottom or only old baseball.

951
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:58,160
And the extra bar and in the face Casey Cox now and Andy has won the three tonight in the second game.

952
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:03,160
He was a pinch hitter in the first game and failed to hit.

953
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:11,160
The power of the first base the Orioles to the Senate is nothing to pitch to act about and line drive into right field and coming on as I can't get there it drops to the base.

954
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:23,160
Holding second is blue cowl at at the bar and flat the single in the right field and that will bring out the new Orioles reliefers Tommy Duke.

955
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:34,160
The year has been to the plate five times with a base and he has two runs that they fit with a double.

956
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:50,160
Casting over and Casey Cox again had a little bit of a meeting before pitching to shoot.

957
01:34:50,160 --> 01:35:02,160
Now the first off into Tommy Duke and a miss me at a good healthy cut at that.

958
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:07,160
And the one strike offering to Tommy a right handed swing or a.

959
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:19,160
Talks for the long intent look to cast them over now ready to go and his one strike that fly ball into shallow right back goes the second base from colonies there to make the cash and that'll be the final out of the end.

960
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:25,160
At the end of seven and a half Baltimore to Washington nothing.

961
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:39,160
Well with the Orioles leading to the nothing before we go to the bottom of the eighth inning let's run the American League scoreboard first to see what Boston the Indians whack the Red Sox nine to three the second game in the last scoreless the Indians nothing in the Red Sox nothing in the fourth inning with Rick hand against

962
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:55,160
funny fever at Chicago Kansas City took a two run lead in the top of the first inning the White Sox now betting with victory go against Tom Bradley Oakland at Minnesota scoreless at the end of 100 against Perry California at Milwaukee scoreless in the second inning with last year against

963
01:35:55,160 --> 01:36:00,160
Lockwood and we're indebted again to WBAL under Fred Schneider tonight.

964
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:06,160
All right Bill here is the big one Frank Howard and Tommy Duke's first offering cut on a miss strike one.

965
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:13,160
Good hard breaking stuff and Duke's again the Orioles jam the third base out of the infield with three infielders.

966
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:16,160
That's about it hangs out the target Duke's fires.

967
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:25,160
Fastball state high it's a ball and a strike.

968
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:35,160
Right back with the one wonder Howard swing and he didn't get it a ball and two strikes.

969
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:44,160
Tommy Duke picking a relief of starter Grant Jackson into the mood the one who offering to Howard.

970
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:54,160
All the way to ball two strikes.

971
01:36:54,160 --> 01:37:04,160
And the one two pitch the Frank swing and a foul tip out of the middle of the catcher and the extra balance for Howard.

972
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:13,160
One ball two strikes.

973
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:22,160
Duke is ready to go again the rocking right hander brings the on down his pitch struck him out swinging him in the Howard goes down.

974
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:29,160
Now Mr. Duke's face to batter since he entered the ball game and he's saying both of them.

975
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:40,160
Now Elliott Maddox hit into a fourth play in the first inning tried to bond his way on in the fourth was thrown out and then lying to the right fielder.

976
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:52,160
First offering to Maddox much too high with a fastball ball one starter Grant Jackson fans seven of these senators.

977
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:59,160
And two one nothing to Maddox low and a ball to know now.

978
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:07,160
Last half of the eighth inning the only old to the senator's nothing second game of the doubleheader the first game won by Washington eight to six.

979
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:24,160
And the second inning look out almost to the inside ball three three and all.

980
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:38,160
Three nothing to strike his call and Duke kind of took a little off it and never to get it in and Maddox is taking all the way.

981
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:49,160
And do the three one offering to the right hand swinging Maddox drive to call the blazing fastball over the inner force and the letter.

982
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:55,160
Maddox is stepped out of the box momentarily to think things over and now he is back in again we're ready to go.

983
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:59,160
This will be a payoff three to two to Elliott Maddox.

984
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,160
To the moon.

985
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:13,160
Ball four is too high Maddox is armed with a one out walk and that'll bring in the hot hitting down mentor mentor two for three in this second game.

986
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:24,160
And he had three hits in four trips in the first game including a double and his fifth home run.

987
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:36,160
The submarine Tina is throwing in the Washington bullpen here is mentor stepping in and Duke's first offering is a breaking ball low ball one.

988
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:49,160
Time is up and runs for the mound out of word of two to say to Tommy Duke. Meantime Eddie Watt begins to throw in the Oriole bullpen along with Pete Rickard.

989
01:39:49,160 --> 01:40:00,160
One away in the Washington half of the eighth inning Maddox the runner at first base and mentor at the plate with a count ball one.

990
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:08,160
The first Duke to the set position and the right hander pitches outside to all no strikes from in here.

991
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:20,160
Fine here comes George Sandburger he's going to go out and have a word of few to say to Tony Duke this will also give a lot and Rickard a little more time to get warm in the Oriole bullpen mentor.

992
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:31,160
The first one of the ball game to walk over and talk to the on deck hitter Paul Casanova.

993
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:38,160
Well the Orioles and the senators will go out again tomorrow night here at our stadium and tomorrow night it'll be Jim Palmer for the Orioles.

994
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:54,160
The getaway game the final game the fifth one of the series on Thursday night will feature Dave McNally.

995
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:59,160
Dick Bosman is the starter for the senator tomorrow night against Palmer.

996
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:02,160
Now the two nothing to Don Ninters.

997
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:08,160
Two balls must write good hard breaking just driving down and in on the left hand swinging mentor.

998
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:24,160
Then against McNally Thursday night it'll be Jackie Brown for two one offering Duke's fire swinging a foul behind the plate and so Duke's is brought back to leave him a count of two balls two strikes with one out and Maddox the runner at first.

999
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:37,160
Both clubs are dead even in the hip column the Orioles seven the senators seven and the Orioles lead by a count of two to nothing and one that's just as nipping tough as you could get.

1000
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:43,160
But to two to the waiting mentor line drive caught by the second base and back to first in time for the double play.

1001
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:54,160
A line drive shared by constantly with the quick fill the power and the runner at first Maddox has been doubled off and a pretty good little bar this building Williams is coming on field.

1002
01:41:54,160 --> 01:42:07,160
Nelly Fox is all over the first base umpire Dave Phillips and likewise Maddox and we will have a little bit of a discussion right now and Larry Knapp the senior member of the Cure was coming down from second base to see if he can settle the situation.

1003
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:19,160
As of May it is a line drive double play and that'll be it for Washington to be a fitting at the end of a complete it is Baltimore to Washington nothing.

1004
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:35,160
Well these senators just finished yelling loud and we might say long especially at first base umpire Dave Phillips Nelson Fox the first base coach really barked at Phillips after they double play put out first base was moved by Dave Johnson to boot tower against

1005
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:46,160
the Elliott Maddox to the third and final out Wiggins also came out Larry Knapp the boss of the crew had to move away Nelson Fox from first base umpire Dave Phillips.

1006
01:42:46,160 --> 01:43:00,160
Now before we go to the top of the ninth inning on the National League Skull Board they mentally the plan to nothing in the sixth inning at Atlanta the bravely Montreal for nothing in the fifth inning at Cincinnati the red set of two nothing lead on the Phillies in the fifth inning

1007
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:09,160
and there are three later at National League games tonight all on the West Coast. Well we look at Merve Retton on and he ran a hand drop of that took a pitch inside ball one.

1008
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:16,160
Merve having a fine second game he singled in the first inning bounced the short in the third homer to the fifth inning and walked in the seventh.

1009
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:29,160
He took the three on the ninth in game number two the one nothing talks to Retton on swing and a line drive set of the away it's going to drop in front of Maddox and Retton on his own with his third hit here in the second game.

1010
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:49,160
The leadoff single center off the bat of Merve Retton on brings out Paul Blair and Paul is all for four in the night cast he did reach one time on an error charged the third base from Dave Nelson.

1011
01:43:49,160 --> 01:44:05,160
Casey Cox wants now to have a word of fear with Paul Casanova so he walks three quarters of the way down to the plate and then it's joined by Casanova and they're just standing with her back to the plate having a bit of a conversation while mentor and Merve Retton on are doing a little

1012
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:20,160
talking down their first day play.

1013
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:40,160
The ball outside corner three right one to Blair nobody out rep money runner at first and a real temp talk battle here in game two between the old and the senator to pitch the Blair he bonds that is right back to all the bound grab by Casey Cox no throw the second the throw go for first base

1014
01:44:40,160 --> 01:45:06,160
the second base on the second one to the plate Frank Robinson little burger and Geneski are throwing in the Washington bullpen and Geneski started the first game tonight for Washington one away retman the runner at second base Frank Robinson at the plate first base

1015
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:14,160
the second game tonight is open and the senators are going to put him on he will be given an intentional walk.

1016
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:23,160
That'll bring up what's Robinson and books in the second game tonight is all for four.

1017
01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:34,160
And he was all for two in the first game but he did walk three times and even with three walks but still failed to score a run.

1018
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:50,160
I can have a moment and just get back to the comment about the argument that came off in first place between Nellie Fox for the senators and Dave Phillips quite a bit of the debris came out of the stands especially back of the Washington dugout and ironically enough some of that debris hit the couple of the

1019
01:45:50,160 --> 01:46:05,160
Kasim the commander is still in that call with Tacor M shack.

1020
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:15,160
Reed wood니까 gently premise Brown would also bring in the highLocks defense and I was hoping to be good to and third drunk robbery.

1021
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:19,240
He sent Howard right to the wall and the big man reached out and made the one-handed grab

1022
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:25,240
and in the first game tonight he chased Hunter up against the barrier in the right field corner to grab his fly ball.

1023
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,240
Two down in the top of the ninth.

1024
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:33,240
Now the second base from Dave Johnson, he is one for four here in the second game.

1025
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,240
Dave sat out the first one.

1026
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:43,240
Here's one hit, a two-base hit, back in the Oriole fourth inning.

1027
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:52,240
Cox is first offing to Dave Johnson, a ripping strike and a throw to second base back safely as the base runner,

1028
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:56,240
Reckon-Mund, with the cull and drop the ball after the tag.

1029
01:46:56,240 --> 01:47:06,240
He's one for four while trying to make the tag, one strike to Johnson.

1030
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:18,240
Look into the time by the right-handed Cox, he's ready, the one strike offering to Johnson swinging a foul to the screen two strikes.

1031
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:28,240
One for the left-handed Cox, one for the right-handed Cox, one for the right-handed Cox, one for the right-handed Cox.

1032
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,240
All in here are the counts of the Oriole second base from Johnson.

1033
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:44,240
Two down, Oriole runners, Frank Robinson is first, Merbretten is second.

1034
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:48,240
The pitch is blown away in a good space from Casanova, one ball, two strikes.

1035
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:01,240
Cox is ready to go again, the one-two-pitch to the waiting Johnson.

1036
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:07,240
Strike three is called, Johnson is called out of strike, and that's it for the Orioles in their half of the night.

1037
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:17,240
At the end of eight and a half, it's Baltimore two, Washington nothing.

1038
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:22,240
Well, the new batter to start the last half of the night, sending for the Washington Senators, is scheduled to be Paul Casanova.

1039
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,240
In his stead, however, comes Larry Bittner.

1040
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:30,240
Bittner will be the pinch-flinger for Casanova as Watt and Richard are ready in the bullpen.

1041
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:34,240
Up on the mound is Tommy Duce, and here is his first offering to left-hand swinging Bittner.

1042
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:40,240
Strike over the outside corner of the knee. Bittner hitting two-five-four on the year.

1043
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:47,240
And he had one for four in the opening game of the series.

1044
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:54,240
Buce is right back with a good fastball over the inner portion down around the knees, and Bittner is behind the Macau now, all in two.

1045
01:48:54,240 --> 01:49:05,240
Buce, all ready to go. He rocks to the motion. Here's the two-strike offering.

1046
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:08,240
Curveball flinging a ground ball off the first-base side. Dave Johnson is there.

1047
01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:12,240
The throw to the pitcher covering at first. It is in time to get Larry Bittner.

1048
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:16,240
Johnson got to the ground ball on the outfield grass and made a good throw.

1049
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:22,240
Made a good throw to the pitcher. Duce covering at first base for the first out in the bottom of the ninth inning.

1050
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:27,240
And we have Tommy McCraw now batting for K.C. Top.

1051
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:34,240
McCraw on the year. He is hitting two-thirty-eight, a left-handed flinger as with Bittner.

1052
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:38,240
And Duce, his first offering. Breaking ball low, ball one.

1053
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:54,240
Now the one-nothing to the left-hand flinging McCraw. Duce fires. He missed again down low. Two balls, no strike.

1054
01:49:54,240 --> 01:50:04,240
But two-nothing. Low again, ball three to McCraw.

1055
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:14,240
McCraw appeared at the pinch-hitter last night against Dobbsman when I arrived at Stryker.

1056
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:19,240
Now the three-nothing to the left-handed flinger. Duce fires. High ball four.

1057
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:29,240
And McCraw is on with a walk. And now we'll get Bernie Allen. And he will bat for Tim Cullen.

1058
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:44,240
Allen appeared in the first game tonight and delivered one hit and two trips to the plate.

1059
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:50,240
And he also appeared Friday night, or rather the first night, Monday night, last night, and flied the center field.

1060
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:52,240
Left-handed flinger to Allen.

1061
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:55,240
Strike is called. Right over the knee from the inside forward.

1062
01:50:55,240 --> 01:51:07,240
Cowell is not holding with McCraw at first base. The set by Duce, the one-strike hit.

1063
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:11,240
High fly ball right the away with Frank Robinson coming on. Back goes the second baseman, Johnson.

1064
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:16,240
It's Johnson the second baseman making the catch for the second out of the inning.

1065
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:27,240
Two down. And now Colby Harris. And Colby Harris only played appearance in the second game in the seventh inning, throwing single a header field.

1066
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:36,240
Here is Harris. Right-handed batsman.

1067
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:46,240
And Duce first offering to Colby.

1068
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:50,240
Swinging the ground ball hit toward third base from Duce Robinson. He's got it for the second there.

1069
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:52,240
It's the fourth and the final out of the ball game.

1070
01:51:52,240 --> 01:52:08,240
That's it. The Orioles win a two to nothing and they'll be back with tonight's game total right after this message.
