• 5:04
  prior batters that safely in the ball game and they scored six runs in the first inning.
• 5:09
  Easterly with the starting pitcher and losing pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. Pittsburgh
• 5:12
  now has won seven of their last eight ball games and the Mets will have to win here tonight
• 5:16
  to remain six games back. Going to the bottom of the 12-0 the Cardinals all tied up with
• 5:21
  Houston. Score of that ball game at 9-9. Houston at one point in the ball game leading by a
• 5:27
  large scorer. They were leading by a scorer of 6-1 and added two more to make it 8-1 when
• 5:34
  St. Louis scored six runs in the seventh inning to get back in the ball game. Houston got
• 5:39
  another run in the eighth inning and then the Cardinals sided up a two runs in the bottom
• 5:42
  of the eighth inning. That ball game in the bottom of the 12th the Cardinals tied up with
• 5:48
  Houston. It's also pitching for Houston now he came in the game in the ninth inning.
• 5:52
  Braveski also came in the ball game in the ninth inning he is still in for the St. Louis
• 5:57
  Cardinals. Cardinals have a twilight double header due to the fact that they ended up in
• 6:01
  a tie on a rain delay in the ball game last night. Philadelphia is scheduled against the
• 6:07
  Dodgers. The ladies are three games back at Pittsburgh at the start of the action. So with
• 6:12
  Pittsburgh winning they are now three and a half the Cardinals are four and a half and
• 6:15
  the Mets are six and a half. Montreal is scheduled against San Francisco. Cincinnati
• 6:20
  scores 6-5. Eastwick the winning pitcher and Relief his record now 3-2. Stoll in the
• 6:25
  loser his record 11-7. In the American league at the end of 6th at J Cityam it's the Yankees
• 6:31
  three Oakland one hundred and fifteen for the Yankees. Then Gladry placing Sonny Seabed
• 6:35
  for Oakland. And California leading Boston by a large score score of 8-2 at the end of
• 6:41
  7 and 1-1 half any. Now we're all set to go here at San Diego Stadium and coming in for
• 6:45
  coming in for the play by play Bob Murphy. Thank you very much Ralph and hi
• 6:49
  everybody. Del Ancer leading off against Dave Friesleven. Right-hander Dave Friesleven
• 6:56
  just 23 years old at Texan. He has won five and lost 13. After pitching very well for
• 7:02
  the Padres last year the year has been disappointing for him. And a foul ball back under our broadcasting
• 7:08
  booth. Strike one. Dave Friesleven with San Diego last year won nine and lost 14. He has
• 7:18
  been two and one at Hawaii when he was called up. Young right-hander Dave Friesleven missing
• 7:23
  one ball and one strike. That's one for nothing in the opener of the series last night Hank
• 7:30
  Webb getting his first major league shutout. It was a very impressive shutout. Now the
• 7:34
  pitch is over a strike call. Webb did not walk a single batter. Friesleven into his
• 7:42
  wind up the pitch on the way swinging at a missed strike three. Kerbal strikes out Del
• 7:47
  Ancer. Cookie Mike Vail had four for four and a walk in last night's game. So Roy Mcmillan
• 7:56
  keeps him in the lineup against the right-hander. Billy Smeon batting second. Mike Vail is hitting
• 8:01
  third. Dave Friesleven looking around now to check the defense. The infield is straight
• 8:13
  away. And the offfield straight away against Vion. Best ball high one ball and no strike.
• 8:19
  Felix sitting 295 the club leader in base hits 158. Vion takes a breaking ball low ball
• 8:28
  two. Defensively the Padres have William McCovey at first. He dope one day is the second.
• 8:34
  Inzo Hernandez short and Dave Roberts at third. Now it's high inside ball three three
• 8:40
  and oh. Bobby Tolan is the left fielder Johnny Grebbin center and Dave Wynfield in right.
• 8:45
  Bob Davis the catcher. Ball four beyond walks on four pitches. And it will bring up 23 year
• 8:54
  old outfielder Mike Vail. That's acquired Mike Vail in a trade last winter. The St.
• 9:00
  Teddy Martinez the St. Louis. That's got Jack Heidemann and Mike Vail and it may turn out
• 9:05
  to be a super sensational trade. This young man has been most impressive. And the pitch
• 9:14
  by Friesleven is in the strength one goal. Eddie Brissou who played with the New York
• 9:20
  Mets in 1966. Now the baseball coach at DeAnne's College in Neersan, Oze. Here's the pitch
• 9:27
  on the way of swinging on a mess in a high hardland. And after coming out of high school
• 9:32
  Mike Vail played for Ed Brissou. In college he was a shortstop his first year in pro ball
• 9:38
  the third baseman. The two strike delivery and he checked his swing the breaking ball
• 9:45
  outside one ball and two strikes. Mike says I guess they put me in the outfield because
• 9:50
  I made too many errors the third base. Now the one two delivery and a ground ball in
• 9:58
  the short should be a double play. Wednesdays on the McCuffey double play. Hernandez to
• 10:02
  Wednesdays to the Cuffey. So low line drive take it on one hop easily turned into a double
• 10:11
  play. No runs, no hits, no errors and none left. In the middle of the first inning it's
• 10:16
  the mess nothing and a ponder is coming to back. So the economy is good. Folks I'm about
• 10:22
  to tell you something about cottage cheese. You thought you knew everything there was
• 10:26
  to know about cottage cheese? Well could be. But if you don't know about Dairy Lee fruit
• 10:31
  top cottage cheese you're missing something very big. That's right. Fresh delicious Dairy
• 10:37
  Lee cottage cheese guaranteed fresh and now topped with strawberry, raspberry, pineapple
• 10:42
  or blueberry. Dairy Lee fruit top cottage cheese comes in a single serving container
• 10:47
  that couldn't be handier. Just the right sauce for a lunch or a snack or a dessert. Perfect
• 10:52
  to take along anywhere you go like to a ball game. What you do is you take your spoon and
• 10:58
  dig in and let that rich fruit topping swirl down into the creamy cottage cheese and you
• 11:03
  have yourself one great taste treat. Now is that cottage cheese news or is that cottage
• 11:09
  cheese news? Fruit top cottage cheese in four beautiful flavors guaranteed fresh from who
• 11:16
  else but Dairy Lee. In the first game of the double header in the St. Louis this evening
• 11:28
  the Cardinals won it. Getting a run in the last of the 12th inning to win 10-9. The Astros
• 11:33
  had 20 hits from the game and they lost it. Now Robosky came out on the ninth that is
• 11:38
  the winning pitcher. Robosky is now 11-3 and I believe has 18 saves. Jose Sosa was the
• 11:45
  loser. Inville Hernandez leading off against Randy Tate. The wind up in the pitch by Randy.
• 11:52
  He missed inside ball one. Crucial ball game for Randy Tate. He has such great stuff but
• 12:00
  has had to fight a lack of control throughout the year. The 1-0 delivery. Low ball two,
• 12:05
  two balls and no strikes. Last night Cliff Johnson had homered at the top of the 11th
• 12:11
  inning and Houston had gone ahead of the Cardinals four to three. Then with two outs in the last
• 12:16
  of the 11th inning it rains so hard they had to hold up. They waited two hours 15 minutes
• 12:21
  and stopped it. Inside ball three that meant the score had to revert back to the last completed
• 12:26
  inning the 10th and so the game had to be replayed as the first game of a double header
• 12:30
  tonight in St. Louis. And Cliff Johnson lost the home run he hit on the top of the 11th.
• 12:35
  Ball four and Tate quickly walked Hernandez on four pitches. Johnson had homered in sixth
• 12:45
  consecutive ball game counting the one he hit last night and then lost. He did not hit one
• 12:50
  in the first game in St. Louis tonight so the streak came to an end five officially.
• 12:55
  And so Hito Fuente stepping in now Randy Tate has walked Hernandez on four pitches. Now the
• 13:08
  young right-hander from Killing Alabama from the stretch delivers inside in low ball one.
• 13:13
  One ball no strikes. This year in 120 innings Randy has walked 72 hitters. He's allowed only
• 13:22
  108 hits. He's had major league stuff but not major league control. Here's the pitch on the way a
• 13:27
  strength call in the outside corner. He has such good stuff that anytime he doesn't give up over
• 13:35
  three or four walks he has a great chance to win. But many times he has walked more. The one-one
• 13:45
  delivery swinging on a move. Hito Fuente he went for a curve ball. One ball and two strikes.
• 13:51
  So two of the teams the Messer chasing and the Penetrates have already won tonight. The
• 14:01
  parents defeated Atlanta eight to two. They had an easy one. They scored six runs in the first
• 14:06
  and the Cardinals had to go 12 innings to beat Houston 10 to 9. St. Louis used four pitchers
• 14:12
  Ron Reed Harry Parker Mike Garmin and Al Robosky. And remember that's the first game of a double
• 14:17
  header. So the second game will start probably about 945 p.m. St. Louis time. The one-two
• 14:25
  delivery missed inside and low it is two and two. The Phillies are a Dodger Stadium. Montreal
• 14:33
  playing a night game at San Francisco. In a day game the Reds defeated Chicago six to five.
• 14:38
  Raleigh Eastwick won it in relief for Billingham. Steve Stone the loser. Now a throw to first done
• 14:44
  in time. The Yankees and Catfish lead Oakland 3-1 last of the seventh of shade. Now the pitch by
• 14:56
  Randy Tate breaks low and Tate goes three and two on Pito Fuente. California Angels well out in front
• 15:05
  of the Reds socks eight to two last of the ninth up in Boston. Chicago Cleveland rained out. Minnesota
• 15:10
  one-mill walking nothing in the fourth. Kansas City tripped Baltimore four to three in the first
• 15:15
  game of a double header. Throw to first not in time. Palmer missing out on his bid to become the
• 15:21
  first 20 game winner. And it's Detroit two Texas nothing in the fourth. Vern Ruel and Gaylord
• 15:26
  Perry. Now let's keep an eye on Inzo Hernandez and see if he is running. There he goes the pitch
• 15:38
  fouled up down the left field line and over into the crowd. Hernandez has been quite efficient at
• 15:45
  stealing bases. He has been successful 14 out of 17. Dave Wenfield leads the Padres and stolen bases
• 15:55
  with 17. 17 of 19 for Dave Wenfield. Now Randy Tate in the set position throws to first base. And the
• 16:02
  ball gets loose but does not roll very far away. So holding it first base in Inzo Hernandez. Two
• 16:16
  pitchers who have struggled are in the game tonight. Dave Fries Levin and Randy Tate. There goes the
• 16:21
  runner of the pitch fouled off no play. Randy Tate is four and 12 on the year and Dave Fries Levin
• 16:27
  is five and 13. Tomorrow night it will be time to see her bidding for his 19th. Dan Spilner will
• 16:35
  provide the opposition. See her has a lifetime record against San Diego of 17 wins and one loss.
• 16:41
  There goes the runner of the pitch. And a base hit to the opposite field. They get on a hop by Mike
• 16:50
  Veil. Runners at first and second. So one day is a single to left on free and two. Now the Padres
• 17:00
  have runners on first and second. Nobody out in the banners. Johnny Grubb the center fielder.
• 17:06
  Rebidding 274 left hand hitter. Willie McCovey on deck and then Dave Wenfield. So we'll see if John
• 17:15
  Macklin-Mera has his number three hitter. Bunt or swing away. Usually put your most consistent
• 17:20
  hitter in the number three spot in the batting order. Here's the pitch he's around the but takes
• 17:26
  the strike on the inside corner. First inning has been a problem all year long for Randy Tate.
• 17:34
  Usually if he gets bad the first two innings he pitches you a very good ball game. And a pickoff
• 17:45
  play at second not in time. Randy stepping off whirling and throwing to Mike Phillips.
• 17:50
  Randy Tate getting his sign from Grote. Now the pitch to Grubb he's around a bunt bunt and it's
• 18:01
  a foul ball no play. And now a two strike count on Johnny Grubb. And let's see if John Macklin-Mera
• 18:07
  the skipper of the Padres removes the but or leaves it on. Brother struck out 46 times this year so
• 18:24
  he is not what you call an easy man to strike out. The runner's lead from first to the second.
• 18:33
  The pitch by Randy Tate is low he was going to swing away. One ball and two strikes. Beautiful
• 18:42
  evening in San Diego the skies are clear throughout the day and they are clear now.
• 18:46
  The infield at double play-down. And the pitcher on the way lined foul down the left field line no play.
• 18:59
  He had that one late it was not close to the line. The gallery means a one ball and two strikes.
• 19:06
  You know if one day is fouled off three and then got a base hit on three and two.
• 19:11
  Jim Diamondport coaching third. Dick Sussler at first. High inside. Jubal's in two strikes. Now
• 19:29
  Randy Tate goes through the rosin bag and the San Diego crowd starts the rhythmic clapping. Good
• 19:34
  turnout tonight at San Diego Stadium and with the crowd here this evening they'll set their all time
• 19:39
  on the tennis record. The 2-2 pitch. And a pop fly into short left. Back goes Phillip. They
• 19:45
  invoke the infield fly-wheeling. Mike makes the catch. So Randy Tate jammed Johnny Grubb and he gets
• 19:51
  about. Willie McCovey. McCovey hitting 2-42. San Diego leader and home runs with 14 and he has 42 runs
• 20:07
  and that's about it. Second on the club and RBI's Dave Wendfield is the club leader. McCovey had one hit
• 20:15
  a single to right of the game last night. Randy Tate checking things out. Kicks the leg around
• 20:22
  because the arm wow pits. Runner's will move to second and third. Hernandez goes to third and
• 20:30
  Fuente is to second. Let's lose their chance for a double play. They're charging out a pass ball
• 20:36
  instead of a wow pitch. Pitch was low and inside into the feet of the hitter Willie McCovey.
• 20:49
  Padres with 2 and scoring position. Now Tate will go to the full wind-up for the extra leverage.
• 20:56
  And the pitch. High inside ball too. So again Randy is working behind the hitter. Jerry Grote providing
• 21:11
  the target. The 2-0 delivery. High outside ball three. Wachta McCovey would load the basis and
• 21:19
  bring up the Padres most productive hitter Dave Wendfield. Let's see if they give McCovey a green
• 21:31
  light here on 3-0. They might. Here's the pitch. Swung on. Ground ball hit the second base. Tate will
• 21:36
  have to hurry over to cover a run will score. Give it away and a runner's in and the Padres lead.
• 21:41
  Wounded nothing. McCovey hit 3-0. It was a slow roller. Kingman went for the ball. Could not get back
• 21:47
  to the bag. Mian fielded the ball and then threw the Randy Tate covering. RBI for McCovey. Wintes goes
• 21:56
  to third and the hitter is Dave Wendfield. So on the 3-0 delivery Tate had good stuff. He jammed
• 22:04
  the batter McCovey. With a slow roller produces a run and the San Diego leads. Wounded nothing. Now
• 22:11
  Dave Wendfield is batting. He's hitting 2-76. The club RBI leader with 70. Inside ball what? He jumps away.
• 22:18
  And the pitch by Randy Tate. A swing and a foul coming straight back. One ball and one strike.
• 22:33
  Randy Tate has 30 strikeouts in his last 25 innings. He has the seasonal high by Metcichor 13. At a
• 22:49
  ground bouncing ball hit the shortstop. Phillip grabs the throws. Close play he's out. And the side
• 22:55
  retired with one run in. Good play by Phillips. He had to hurry to throw on a high bouncer. One run
• 23:01
  with one hit. No errors in one lap. At the end of one the score San Diego one and New York nothing.
• 23:12

• 25:16
  Dave Kingman the batter, inside ball one.
• 25:19
  Dave hit the ball hard all night against the Padres last evening.
• 25:24
  Breaking ball outside in low, ball two, two and 0.
• 25:28
  Kingman wound up with one hit and five times at bat.
• 25:32
  At a grounder, that is foul.
• 25:34
  At the third base line, no play.
• 25:36
  Kingman double hit first damage bat.
• 25:38
  Get a ball all the way to the wall and hit the center that was caught.
• 25:43
  Get another ball to the fence that was caught in the seventh inning.
• 25:46
  So Dave hit the ball hard but got only one for five out of it.
• 25:50
  Right hander Dave Friesleven pitching for San Diego.
• 25:55
  He has one five lost 13 with a 4.0 eRA.
• 25:59
  High inside.
• 26:01
  Get 161 innings. Friesleven has allowed 181 hits.

  Outside ball four, Kingman works out a walk.
• 26:24
  That is the second walk by Friesleven and Garrett will be hitting.

  One out and one on, two out and one on.

  Two runs batted in. One out and one on, top of the second inning.

• 26:59
  Tom Gorman, I'm pairing the plate tonight.

  All right, Garrett lays off one ball and strikes.

  We pause for station identification. This is the New York Mets baseball network.
• 27:37
  This is the first time for the New York Mets.
• 27:39
  Through every inning of every Mets game, Holm and Araya W's IZR FM 105.
• 27:44
  You're home for the Mets and Colonials in 1975.
• 27:49
  Bob Murphy with Lindsay Nelson and Ralph Kinder were in the top of the second in San Diego
• 27:54
  and the Padres lead won nothing. Dave Kingman is on second and two away
• 27:58
  and Jerry Groty the batter. Jerry now is hitting over 300.
• 28:02
  Inside and low is ball one. Groty hitting at 301.
• 28:06
  Jerry had two for four last time, a single and a run scoring triple.
• 28:10
  He had the game winning RBI by driving in the very first run of the ball game.
• 28:17
  The 1-0 delivery. Strength called. A curve by a prized weapon on the outside corner.
• 28:22
  One ball and one strike.
• 28:30
  Eddie Yost coaching third, but Harrelson coaching first.
• 28:35
  The 1-1 delivery. Outside and low is ball two, two and one.
• 28:50
  Now, Friars Levin checks Kingman leading off second base.
• 28:53
  In comes the pitch to Groty and a ground ball to second.
• 28:56
  Bob will throw a moment left when Dave, but he throws the first in time for the Ock.
• 29:01
  And the side retired. No runs, no hits, no errors and one left on.
• 29:08
  And anything and a half gone in San Diego, the Padres won the Mestez.
• 29:13
  You can save money. That's right, I said you can save money by making sure your home is insulated properly.
• 29:21
  To find out just how much money you can save on your heating bills, stop it and hold the numbers.
• 29:26
  Dick's Unlaw Fendt and his staff will be glad to take the time to show you just how much you can save.
• 29:31
  Hold and Lumber also has aluminum combinations, storm windows and doors for everything.
• 29:36
  Inside, outside, all around the home. See, Hold and Lumber. Comparator Street Gloversville.
• 29:42
  This is Dick Van Dyke. We're talking about some ways to prevent fires and burns.
• 29:47
  If you got jumps in your basement, clean it up, get it outside the door.
• 29:51
  Don't put wires on the rocks.
• 29:53
  See, when people walk on the rock, they're walking on the wire, to the breaks.
• 29:57
  And your house could burn down. Some people plug a million plugs together. That can make a fire too.
• 30:03
  Remember these things, okay? We want you to learn not to burn.
• 30:07
  And you know what? Don't let anyone smoke in bed.
• 30:11
  Bobby Tolan, that faces Randy Tate in the last half of the second inning.
• 30:16
  The veteran Bobby Tolan and he get 247.
• 30:20
  For San Diego, it's Bobby Tolan, Dave Roberts and Bob Davis to hit in the last of the second.
• 30:26
  Randy Tate issued one walk. That was to lead off batter Inzo Hernandez.
• 30:31
  And Hernandez later scored as a result of a base hit, a pass ball and a ground-up.
• 30:44
  Randy Tate has the fan and the pitch to Bobby Tolan.
• 30:48
  It runs inside. A pass ball, one ball and another pass ball.
• 30:53
  Now Randy Tate has the fan and the pitch to Bobby Tolan. It runs inside. A pass ball, one ball and no strikes.
• 31:02
  Tolan wanting to get a look at Randy Tate and he was taking all away on the first pitch.
• 31:10
  Wayne Garrett playing in, even with a bag and wide of the line at third.
• 31:14
  That's a strike call. But he is one ball and strike.
• 31:17
  Mike Phillips cheated over towards second against the left-hand hitter.
• 31:22
  Bobby Tolan no longer runs with a great speed, but he still has good speed.
• 31:27
  And a foul ball to the left, no play. One ball, two strikes.
• 31:45
  Now Tate into his wind-up. The pitch to Bobby Tolan. He punched the ball up the third base line.
• 31:50
  He will roll fair and it's amazing. Tolan surprised everybody, running with a count of one ball and two strikes.
• 31:57
  Garrett knew he could not throw a toll at us. Let the ball roll, but it stayed fair.
• 32:02
  So Bobby Tolan bowls that one off. With a count of one and two, he caught everybody in the stadium, flat-footed.
• 32:09
  And a third one, a game over.
• 32:19
  Now the hitter is Dave Roberts, batting 235.
• 32:24
  Until very recently, Roberts had been playing at Hawaii in the Pacific Coast League.
• 32:29
  Two years ago, he made a big splash in the National League, getting 21 home runs.
• 32:33
  Kind of lost himself if he's been trying to get it put back together.
• 32:40
  Let's have the infield straight away looking for a double play.
• 32:44
  And the pitch on the way, swing and a miss, strike one.
• 32:48
  Bob Davis, the backstop is the undecided.
• 32:51
  Dave Kingman holding against Bobby Tolan. Tolan has stolen seven bases this year, seven out of 11.
• 33:01
  Now the pitch on the way, missed the inside corner, one ball and one strike.
• 33:21
  Randy Tate up in pitching position, turns and throws to first, not in time.
• 33:27
  Very important ball game with the York Mets. Parents have already won their game today.
• 33:36
  The 1-1 delivery, a little bit wide, ball two, two and one.
• 33:42
  Cardinals playing a double header after being rained out of the 11th inning last night.
• 33:46
  And they have won the first ball game, and at one point in that ball game, they were behind eight to one.
• 33:51
  Finally tied the game at nine all and won it 10-9.
• 33:55
  There goes the runner, swinging a miss, picked by Jerry Groty, and the ball gets loose from the on-rolls into short center.
• 34:01
  The throw was there in time, they would have had him.
• 34:04
  But it did not stay in the on-sled, it squirted out of his love and rolled into short center field.
• 34:09
  So Bobby Tolan gets a stolen base.
• 34:12
  Groty made a beautiful throw that was there in plenty of time, and they would have had him.
• 34:26
  The count is two and two on Dave Roberts.
• 34:34
  Now the pitch by Randy Tate, straight three calls.
• 34:37
  Groty plus the throw to second.
• 34:39
  So Tate has his first drag out of the game.
• 34:42
  The hitter coming up will be Bob Davis.
• 34:45
  Davis hitting 206, he's been in only 21 ball games.
• 34:49
  Freddie Kendall has done most of these, and Diego catching this year, along with the veteran Randy Hunley.
• 34:55
  Kendall has been in 87 games, and Randy Hunley is 68.
• 35:05
  Catching his one position, the Padres feel they must shore up before they can be a contender.
• 35:10
  And a high foul pop coming back into the crowd and out of play.
• 35:18
  Padres felt they were going to be all set at third base for a long time to come.
• 35:23
  When Dave Roberts first joins them off the University of Oregon campus in the following year,
• 35:28
  he's in the 21 on run, and then he suddenly saw his talents diminish.
• 35:36
  And a high pop fly down the right field line.
• 35:39
  Dave Kingman goes down the line, down the line, and the judges ball, and the schedule.
• 35:46
  Kingman thought he was under it, and at the last moment realized he wasn't.
• 35:50
  And the ball hit the ground and fouled territory.
• 35:57
  So the defensive play here on the first two innings has not been sharp for New York.
• 36:04
  No errors scored on the play. Kingman simply had it misjudged, never touched it.
• 36:10
  It was not an easy play. It was way down the line, almost to the bullpen.
• 36:14
  But over in foul territory, so far with a right hand hitter up, the staff could not get to it.
• 36:21
  A two strike out on Bob Davis. And Randy Tate in pitching position.
• 36:28
  Keeps an eye on the runner. Bobby Toland is second. Now he steps off, throws, got in time.
• 36:36
  Felix Meehan cut in to took the throw.
• 36:45
  Now Bob Davis calls time and gets out of the batter's box.
• 36:53
  Bobby Toland beat out of punt for a base hit.
• 36:56
  Pick off play throw to second, save, close.
• 36:59
  Bobby Toland sliding in, head first.
• 37:02
  Meehan and Phillips working on Bobby Toland.
• 37:06
  Randy Tate has a real good move on that pick off play as second base.
• 37:10
  Meehan runs him back. Crowd reacting, they're getting quite a kick out of it.
• 37:15
  As Meehan and Phillips work on Bobby Toland. The crowd, of course, encouraging Bobby Toland.
• 37:23
  Now Tate in the set position. Here's the pitcher on the way, swinging on a miss.
• 37:28
  He took him out with a high hard win.
• 37:32
  Second strike out of the row for Randy Tate. It brings up the pitcher, Dave Fry's limit.
• 37:37
  Number 14, Dave Fry's limit.
• 37:41
  Fry's limit.
• 37:44
  Four hits in 46 times at that.
• 37:49
  He's very stocky. 5'11", 195 pounds, he'll hit right-handed.
• 37:56
  San Diego leading, one nothing, we're in the second.
• 38:00
  Head of fastball high, one ball and no strikes.
• 38:05
  For manager John McNamara of San Diego, Jim Dablin, board former giant third baseman.
• 38:11
  Good big league ball player, coaches at third. Dick Sussler on the lines at first.
• 38:16
  In there for a strike call one-and-one.
• 38:23
  Inzo Hernandez, who bats lead off, is the on-deck-itter.
• 38:33
  The one-and-one delivery, low outside, two balls, one strike.
• 38:48
  Randy Tate's size again up.
• 38:53
  And the rookie right-hander kicks delivers, swinging at a foul ball back, it's two and two.
• 39:02
  Here are the warm-ups at Dodger's stadium for the Phillies left-hander Tom Underwood,
• 39:06
  with the Dodgers that will be Doug Rao. Montreal at San Francisco, rookie left-hander Dan Worthing,
• 39:12
  with the expose, and rookie left-hander Pete Falcone for the Giants.
• 39:17
  We in the side ball three, Tate has gone three and two on the opposing pitcher.
• 39:25
  Tomorrow night, the last game of this series, Don Siever and Dan Spilner are the pitchers.
• 39:30
  Siever became the first 18-game winner, now will try to become the first 19-game winner in the league.
• 39:36
  Three-two delivery, all four. Tate has walked the opposing pitcher.
• 39:46
  Second walk by Randy Tate, now lead off, and her inzo Hernandez will be coming up.
• 39:52
  Hernandez has a tough target at the plate, he's just five-eight.
• 40:05
  And he worked out a walk in the first inning.
• 40:16
  Tate with runners at first to second delivers, and a line drive, that's the base,
• 40:22
  going to the field, pulling around third, hitting home.
• 40:24
  The throw by Mike Vail, they make getting the ball, waiting, he's out at the plate.
• 40:28
  Mike Vail uncorking a beautiful throw, he threw it all the way in the air, it came in knee high,
• 40:34
  and he caught the ball, and they had Bobby told it out with flight as fair.
• 40:39
  So Hernandez finger the left, but the impressive young rookie, Mike Vail, threw the ball perfectly,
• 40:46
  and Bobby told it, he's cut down at the plate.
• 40:51
  No runs, there were two hits, no errors, two left.
• 40:54
  At the end of two, San Diego won New York nothing.
• 41:00
  Listen to the smooth slide and sound of a country steel guitar.
• 41:15
  See yourself on a fine summer evening doing what you please,
• 41:19
  pleasing yourself with the mellow flavor of some fine cold beer,
• 41:23
  not just any beer, Schaefer beer, because Schaefer's the one beer that goes all evening,
• 41:28
  still tasting like the night is young.
• 41:31
  The one beer with flavor that never fades glass after frosty glass.
• 41:35
  Schaefer stays so smooth, so first beer fine that every Schaefer plays like music to your thirst.
• 41:42
  Schaefer, it's the one beer to have when you're having more than one.
• 41:47
  Music
• 42:03
  Well, last night, rookie opulent Mike Vail had four for four and a walk.
• 42:09
  He has made his presence known already here this evening with a perfect throw,
• 42:14
  the Jerry Grody, the nail Bobby Tolin, could be a big one.
• 42:18
  Now we go to the third hand for the action, here's Ralph Kiner.
• 42:21
  Thank you Bob, thank you Bob Murphy and hi everyone.
• 42:24
  For the match it'll be Mike Phillips, go lead off, Mike Betty Ait in the betting order hitting 251.
• 42:29
  Mike Phillips, short side.
• 42:31
  That's if not had a base hit in the ball game, they've had two base runners, both on walks.
• 42:34
  Meon walks in the first, was erased at a double play, and Dave Kingman walks in the second.
• 42:41
  Phillips the left hand batter with one home run, 25 RBI.
• 42:45
  Dave Fryzeleven, 15 for the San Diego Padres, and the right handers first pitch.
• 42:53
  It is outside a ball.
• 42:55
  This is the 26th start for Fryzeleven.
• 42:59
  He has made 29 total appearances.
• 43:02
  Next delivery a call strike, a fast ball over the outside part of the plate down around the knees, one ball, one strike.
• 43:10
  Pitch back to Phillips, call the ball, two balls, one strike.
• 43:14
  Fryzeleven has a record of five and thirteen.
• 43:19
  And he quickly comes back and it pitches it out towards second base.
• 43:22
  Backhanded by Fuentes, a good play there, the first base for the out.
• 43:27
  DiDio Fuentes moving quickly to his right, backhanding the ball as it was on its way towards center field
• 43:34
  and turning what looked like it might be a base hit into an out.
• 43:38
  He will bring up Randy Tate. Dave looking for his first base hit. He's been up 37 times.
• 43:50
  Tate a right hand batter.
• 43:55
  And the first pitch is taking a little ball one.
• 43:59
  Fryzeleven has won 14 and lost 27 in his Major League career.
• 44:03
  That's four complete games this year, one shutout.
• 44:06
  Pitch back is called a strike, it's one ball and one strike.
• 44:14
  Hot rays leading one nothing, one man out at the top of the third.
• 44:18
  Next pitch a hard swing and a miss with no contact. One and two.
• 44:22
  The record for going an entire season without a base hit.
• 44:27
  0 for 72 by Bob Ewell. There's a drive to center, but right there is Johnny Grebb and he has...
• 44:32
  Two in a way and Del Hunter batting for the second time.
• 44:37
  Hunter will take some time getting to the plate to allow Randy Tate to get back to the bench
• 44:42
  and get a breath of air. Game number 134, the New York Met.
• 44:47
  The game in 32 more to go.
• 44:56
  Now Del Hunter is stepping up, he's struck out his first time up.
• 45:00
  Average at 283, 7 home runs, 40 RBI.
• 45:05
  And the right hand pitcher working to the left hand batting, the first pitch is taken for a ball.
• 45:14
  St. Louis outlasted Houston, 10 to 9.
• 45:17
  Houston losing, out of the fact they had 20 base hits.
• 45:20
  Robowski the winning pitcher, his record now 11 and 3.
• 45:23
  Ground ball down the first is knocked down by McAvy and now McAvy trying to reach Hunter
• 45:27
  as he comes up the line to field the ball but Hunter gets by him and is on with what could be a base hit.
• 45:33
  Hard chance for McAvy got over to backhanded and knocked the ball down.
• 45:37
  It rolled up the line in front of the back, McAvy went for it, got on the ground, thrown on the ground
• 45:43
  to pick it up and then tried to reach up and tag Hunter as he was going by but Hunter got by him
• 45:48
  and on to first base with a base hit.
• 45:50
  Grav didn't like to score him but it was a difficult chance.
• 45:53
  McAvy, another match gets their first hit of the ball game and it brings up Felix Mion who walked on four pitches his first time up.
• 46:05
  Mion batting 295, leads the club in base hits with 158.
• 46:09
  Right hand batter.
• 46:15
  Hunter with a short lead at first base, 5-7, checks him, here's the pitch
• 46:19
  and it's fouled back against the screen at strike one.
• 46:22
  It also was a losing pitcher in that Houston-St. Louis ball game.
• 46:27
  Watson had a home run at 17th, the game went 12 innings.
• 46:32
  There was a continuance or actually the replay of a game that was called because of rain in the 11th game
• 46:38
  with Houston leading by a run, the run washed out and the game had to be replayed.
• 46:43
  They waited over two hours but the rain did not stop.
• 46:46
  Here's a pitch for strike at strike two.
• 46:53
  Prize lemon sets up and his next delivery.
• 46:56
  Taken low on outside.
• 46:58
  One ball, two strikes.
• 47:01
  Pittsburgh won their ball game against Atlanta, scored six runs in the first inning.
• 47:06
  First eight men got base hits.
• 47:08
  Next pitch grounded out towards third, Dave Roberts has it, slips to Fuente,
• 47:12
  discovering it's second for the force play, every tire is a side.
• 47:18
  No runs, the Mets first base hit, no errors, one left and the score at the end of two and a half innings.
• 47:22

• 48:23
  The second base number 23, Deco Plainte.
• 48:30
  We're going to the bottom of the third, the pot raised one, nothing on the run in the first.
• 48:34
  And the laid-off batter will be Tito Plainte.
• 48:37
  Plainte single the left field for the first base hit of the ball game this first time up.
• 48:41
  Tito hitting a 280.
• 48:43
  And batting left-hander against the right-hand of Randy Tate in the first pitches of the ball.
• 48:47
  Tate has given up one run, about three hits, he has struck out two and walked two.
• 48:53
  And the pitch back is low on inside, two balls, no strikes.
• 48:58
  Plainte's with four home runs, 39 RBI's.
• 49:01
  And a total of 140 base hits, 17 of them have been doubled, three triples.
• 49:09
  And a 2-0 the pitch, taken down low on its ball three, three balls, no strikes.
• 49:17
  Badres will set an all-time record for pay-to-tenants here tonight.
• 49:23
  Pay-to-tenants for an entire season.
• 49:25
  Now a strike call, three and one.
• 49:28
  On deck batter, Johnny Grubb, the centerfielder.
• 49:33
  Tate has a sign and here's the pitch.
• 49:36
  Rounded right back to the middle and in the centerfield for a base hit.
• 49:40
  Plainte's making the turn to first base and holding there as Hunter gets the ball back into the infield.
• 49:46
  So Plainte's two for two.
• 49:49
  A single the left and a single the right, that will bring up Johnny Grubb.
• 49:54
  Grubb popped up the short his first time up, hitting a 274 for the year.
• 50:00
  Left hand batter with three home runs, 29 RBI's.
• 50:05
  Badres leading by a score of 1-0.
• 50:11
  Garrett even with a bag at third.
• 50:15
  That's really in for possible sacrifice.
• 50:18
  Here's the pitch the runner goes, the ball is looped down into shallow right field.
• 50:22
  In fact there's Mion in the outfield grass and he has the play.
• 50:25
  And Plainte's back to first base after the catch.
• 50:32
  In the bullpen for the men, Skip Lockwood is starting a throw.
• 50:39
  One away and Willie McGovey stepping up.
• 50:42
  Willie was out in the ground ball to Mion his first time up.
• 50:45
  Govvie brought a seven game hitting streak into the ball game, hitting 385 over that period.
• 50:50

• 50:55
  Like that, 14 home runs.
• 50:58
  There's a ground ball down to the second base, first baseman.
• 51:01
  Kingman a throw to the second base area where it's taken by Phillips as in time
• 51:05

• 51:09
  Govvie rounding into a double play in the side retire.

  A prenatal care message from the March of Dimes.
• 51:48
  Hello, this is Bobby Bonser with New York Yankees.
• 51:50
  We know how important the number nine is in the game of baseball.
• 51:53
  But the number nine also means something special to an expected mother
• 51:56
  because normally the mother's body serves as her baby's home for its first nine months.
• 52:01
  Proper nutrition is especially important at this time
• 52:04
  because what the mother eats is the only nutrition the unborn baby gets.
• 52:08
  Eat well for your baby's good health.
• 52:10
  The March of Dimes says be good to your baby before it is born.
• 52:22
  On Willie McAvy we gave you the wrong stats on his record for the year.
• 52:26
  He has 14 homeruns, 42 RBI's and hitting the 241.
• 52:29
  He granted him to the double play, 363, to end the inning.
• 52:33
  Now the Mets coming up in the top of the fourth and Mike Vail deleted off.
• 52:37
  Vail 4-4 last night.
• 52:40
  Granted into a double play his first time up today.
• 52:44
  Vail hitting at 4-38. He's had seven hits and 16 times up.
• 52:48
  A right hand batter and fries 11 with his first pitch.
• 52:52
  It's over the outside corner strike one.
• 52:54
  It'll be Mike Vail, Rusty Stubb and Dave Kingman for the Mets here in their inning.
• 52:59
  Pitch back is low on outside, one ball, one strike.
• 53:03
  Fries 11 has given up one base hit.
• 53:06
  Scratch it off the glove of Willie McAvy.
• 53:09
  Now Vail trying to run his way on a perfect run and he'll have it all the way.
• 53:13
  Ball fielded by Roberts, no chance for a play in Vail.
• 53:16
  Now he's coming up with a base hit on a bun.
• 53:18
  Vail has executed wonderfully for the New York Mets since his call up from Tidewater
• 53:24
  where he was leading the international league and hitting at a 3-42 base.
• 53:29
  So a runner on and Rusty Stubb's about it.
• 53:32
  Time runs at first base, no one out.
• 53:35
  And the first pitch to Rusty Stubb is low on outside of all.
• 53:46
  Rusty leading the club and runs about it in with 87, batting at 271.
• 53:56
  Vail a good size lead at first base, fries 11, checks him.
• 54:00
  And here's the pitch and Stubb lines at the right field of base hit.
• 54:03
  Vail goes to second and holds there against the strong arm of Dave Winfield.
• 54:08
  So the Mets have runners at first and second with no one out.
• 54:11
  And the batter coming up is Dave Kingman.
• 54:20
  Kingman was walked on a 3-2 pitch his first time up.
• 54:23
  A bun single by Mike Vail, a single to right field by Rusty Stubb and now Dave Kingman.
• 54:38
  Kingman leading the club and home runs with 26 at 69 RBI, batting at 245.
• 54:45
  Padres are not looking for a pun and here's the first pitch,
• 54:48
  lined at a left field line at base hit.
• 54:50
  Vail will score the time run going over to pick the ball up to left field or Tolen.
• 54:53
  He does a good job on that and holds Stubb at second base.
• 54:57
  That was a line shot right down the left field line, Tolen over playing Kingman as a dead-pull hitter.
• 55:03
  Got to it before he could get on by to the wall and Stubb could only go to second base.
• 55:07
  For Kingman his 7th run batted in and the ball game got up at 1-1.
• 55:15
  Wainey's preconceived he base hits and the batter coming up now is Wayne Garrett.
• 55:19
  Wayne grounded out to first base his first time up.
• 55:29
  Action is starting up on the bullpen for the San Diego Padres.
• 55:32
  Garrett hits the first pitch out to the second base on Fuentes and he catches it in the air.
• 55:36
  Fuentes was trying to let that ball bounce and pick it up on the short hop but the ball carried too far.
• 55:41
  He would have had a shot at a double play if the ball had hit into the dirt.
• 55:46
  Rich Fokers now throwing in the bullpen for the San Diego Padres.
• 55:50
  Garrett the first out of the inning and now the batter coming up Jerry Grody.
• 55:54
  Grody grounded out to the second base minutes first time up.
• 56:01
  Grody brought a 6th game hitting streak into the game as batting an even 300 for the year.
• 56:06
  Jerry also hit in 12 of his last 13 ball games.
• 56:12
  And the first pitch to Grody by Price Levin is taken at the knees are called strikes.
• 56:19
  Hits are all even as 4-1 of all game tied at 1 and one man out here in the top of the fourth.
• 56:29
  Stop the runner at second base.
• 56:31
  Kingman the runner at first to pitch back to Grody is taken outside breaking ball.
• 56:35
  Grody started this ring held up in time.
• 56:37
  One ball one strike.
• 56:39
  Jerry has driven in 34 runs this year with 95 base hits.
• 56:44
  Had a 3 base hit for a run battered in in last night's ball game one by the Mets 4-0.
• 56:50
  Mets argued that the ball was touched by a spectator and should have been a home run.
• 56:54
  One one pitch and Grody takes a call strike at the knees. One ball two strikes.
• 57:05
  Mike Bale got it started with a fun base hit.
• 57:07
  Stop followed with a single the right and Kingman quickly single down the left field line to drive in the time run.
• 57:13
  Hear it out and a soft liner to second and Grody now missing the pitch and he is struck out.
• 57:20
  Oh, Prize 11 gets his second strike out. It brings up Mike Phillips with two men away.
• 57:27
  Phillips was out of a good play by 20. The second baseman is first time up.
• 57:32
  Mike batting 250 with one home run and 25 RBI.
• 57:45
  Dave Prize 11 the pitcher for the Padres.
• 57:48
  Works very quickly. That is first pitch to Mike Phillips.
• 57:52
  Bale back into the stands and strike one.
• 57:57
  Tomorrow night it will be time for the Mets time of the record of 18 and 7.
• 58:03
  Padres will be countering with Dan Filner who has won five and lost 10.
• 58:08
  He'll be on the air at 9.55 with that one.
• 58:11
  That will be the final game between the Mets and Padres this year.
• 58:16
  That's the one sixth of the first 10.
• 58:21
  One strike pitch and it's taken for a ball. One ball, one strike.
• 58:26
  On this road trip the Mets have won four and lost four and they have this game and one more in San Diego and four in LA.
• 58:33
  The turning home on Labor Day against the Pittsburgh Pirates game time at 4.05.
• 58:38
  The next pitch is thrown on in mid and the count one and two.
• 58:42
  That's five games left with the Pirates. Three at home the first second and third of September.
• 58:49
  Then later on three in Pittsburgh.
• 58:54
  Pittsburgh on the tenth. Pardon me two in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh in the tenth and the eleventh.
• 58:59
  The next pitch is taken high and the count two balls and two strikes.
• 59:11
  Two balls, two strikes.
• 59:14
  Prize eleven with this next pitch.
• 59:16
  Phillip sits it on the line out into center field and Saab will come in to score.
• 59:21
  They sit by Mike Phillips scoring staff from the second base and the Mets take the lead by a score of two to one.
• 59:28
  Moving on down to second Dave Kingman and Phillip picking up the run batted in.
• 59:33
  It is his twenty sixth of the year and we pause for station identification.
• 59:37
  This is the New York Mets baseball network.
• 59:40
  This is it. Claim for the New York Mets.
• 59:43
  Every inning of every Mets game home and away on W's IZR FM 105.
• 59:48
  You're home for the Mets and Colonials in 1975.
• 59:52
  Ralph Kinder along with Bob Murphy and Lindsay Nelson from San Diego Stadium in San Diego, California.
• 59:58
  The Mets leading two to one and the batter coming up Randy Tate.
• 1:00:03
  The base hit by Phillips was actually deflected by the shortstop Hernandez and rolling out into shallow center field.
• 1:00:11
  Hernandez just did get a piece of his glove in the ball.
• 1:00:15
  First base to Tate is swinging a Mets strike one.
• 1:00:18
  Tate has not had a base hit in his major of career. He has been up 38 times.
• 1:00:23
  Wide out to center field his first time up.
• 1:00:27
  Prize eleven with his next pitch.
• 1:00:29
  And again strike two.
• 1:00:38
  Now the right hander for this next pitch.
• 1:00:41
  Tate has struck out of three pitches the swinging strike.
• 1:00:44
  Prize eleven getting his third strike out of the ball game with the Mets in the inning taking a lead by scoring two runs on four hits.
• 1:00:51
  No errors and two men left on base.
• 1:00:53
  Now at the end of three and a half any. The Mets two the Padres one.
• 1:01:03
  If you have to use your own two feet to get away on vacation this year we have a suggestion at HFC.
• 1:01:08
  Sit down and figure out some things you can do around the house or around town.
• 1:01:13
  For instance you might finish painting the woodwork.
• 1:01:15
  Repair the roof or add to your garden.
• 1:01:17
  Then head for the nearest amusement park.
• 1:01:19
  Go on the ride. Eat too much cotton candy and too many hot dogs.
• 1:01:23
  You might also think about visiting HFC for a vacation long before you start doing anything.
• 1:01:28
  Because with so much to do a little extra money always comes in handy.
• 1:01:33
  Ask about the stay at home vacation long at Household Finance. An equal opportunity lender.
• 1:01:38
  For a larger small loan call HFC in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut.

• 1:01:54
  The way to do the number 31. Dave Wynfield. Dave Wynfield will lead off with the Padres in the bottom half of the fourth.
• 1:02:09
  The Mets leading two to one. Wynfield grounded out into the shortstop his first time up.
• 1:02:14
  Batting the 276. 13 ohm run. 70 runs better than.
• 1:02:20
  On the mound Randy Tate and here's the pitch. Tate gets a call strike.
• 1:02:25
  Randy has given up one run on four hits. He has struck out two. And he has walked two.
• 1:02:32
  Came to the game with a record of four wins and twelve losses.
• 1:02:35
  Pitch back to Wynfield is inside. One ball, one strike.
• 1:02:41
  Wynfield will be followed by Bobby Tolan and Dave Roberts.
• 1:02:48
  And at one one the pitch back to the plate is hit off the hand foul back into the stands back of all play.
• 1:02:53
  One ball, two strikes.
• 1:02:57
  And the second ball game at St. Louis at the end of one and a half. And in Houston won. St. Louis nothing.
• 1:03:04
  Cardinals won the first game 10 to nine. The run in the bottom of the 12th inning.
• 1:03:09
  And that second ball game, Canizzi-Pizzi for Houston against Brazmus.
• 1:03:13
  There's a dive to deep center field that is over the head of Hunter up against the wall.
• 1:03:18
  And going in the second base with a stand-up double here's Dave Wynfield and that's all hitting the wall halfway up at the 4-10 mark.
• 1:03:26
  Wynfield is 15th double of the year. And the Padres have the dive run a second with no one else.
• 1:03:33
  So Wynfield with a long double to center field. Hunter had no time to get back to it.
• 1:03:44
  Plated off the wall perfectly. And Wynfield in with a stand-up double. That will bring up Bobby Tolan.
• 1:03:50
  Tolan beat out of Bunn his first time up.
• 1:03:53
  And he's got the field in the number 28. Left hand batter hitting the 2-49.
• 1:04:04
  Tolan a left hand batter. And Randy Tate with his first pitch. And it's called the ball.
• 1:04:17
  Tolan has hit five home runs this year and had 40 runs better this. Let's have their first baseman and third baseman in in case of a bun.
• 1:04:26
  Now the pitch. Tolan bundt it out toward the mound. The play will have to go to first base.
• 1:04:31
  Tate Fields of all he throws the Kingman at first base and on the sacrifice the time run moves to third.
• 1:04:39
  So a runner at third and one away and the batter will be the third baseman Dave Roberts. Roberts will fall down and strikes his first time up.
• 1:04:51
  Roberts sitting at 222 has been up 18 times since his recall from Hawaii. Right hand batter.
• 1:05:00
  The Mets are going to play their infield in. Roy McMillan the manager of the Mets pulling in the shortstop in second baseman as well as the first baseman and third baseman.
• 1:05:08
  And the first pitch won going to miss the curve ball strike one. Roberts was called out on strikes in a curve ball his first time up.
• 1:05:20
  Tate has struck out two both on curve balls. Here's the pitch back. And a line drives the left field of base in.
• 1:05:27
  When field comes in the store from third and the ball game tied up at 222 on the run battered by Roberts for second of the year.
• 1:05:45
  So Roberts is first base with the single left field. The batter coming up to catcher Bob Davis.
• 1:05:51
  Davis was struck out his first time up and now it's Roy McMillan talking to Tom Gorman at home plate.
• 1:05:58
  Something to do with the bat that Roberts was using. If the bat is illegal the hit will not count.
• 1:06:06
  Only this has to do with the fine guard Ralph looking through the glasses. Looks like the fine guard might be beyond the 18 inch limit.
• 1:06:13
  And if it would be the case the base that would not count Roberts would be out. But evidently Tom Gorman saying that the bat is illegal bat.
• 1:06:25
  Roy McMillan not agreeing still talking to Tom Gorman. If you have nails in the hitting service of the bat or grooves or fines are too far up towards the trademark the bat would be declared illegal.
• 1:06:40
  You cannot apply any foreign service to the bat in the hitting service.
• 1:06:48
  McMillan is still arguing with Tom Gorman. The argument continues and it's eating up.
• 1:07:11
  Now Roy finally departing. He loses the argument.
• 1:07:20
  That will bring up Bob Davis. Davis batting with one minute out the goal head run at first base.
• 1:07:30
  Davis batting at 203 is but up 69 times with 14 bases. Right hand batter to catch it for the bad reason this ball game.
• 1:07:48
  He's won for three in the series and here's the first pitch by Randy Tate. It is one on a miss.
• 1:07:56
  Tate has given up two runs on six hits and that's have two runs on five off price level.
• 1:08:07
  Roberts is short lead at first base. Fits back to the plate is taken over the inside corner of fastball for called strikes.
• 1:08:14
  Randy Tate to the set position and his next delivery.
• 1:08:26
  Top dot towards third. Garrett has to wait for it. He's too late for the throw and all hands are safe.
• 1:08:35
  Robert is going to stop for the third. Garrett waiting for the ball to come down.
• 1:08:45
  The pitch is the base hit. Now to go ahead run a second with one man out of the batter coming up the pitcher Dave Price Levin.
• 1:09:08
  The pitch is taken 46 times up and the Mets are looking for a sacrifice. The first pitch is taken inside to throw the second base and not in time.
• 1:09:16
  Roberts dies back in with a belly fly. Throw taken by Mike Phillips and a fine throw by Jerry Grody.
• 1:09:27
  The pitch was called of all by Tom Gorman so they counted one ball and no strikes.
• 1:09:33
  Kingman at first looking for the sacrifice and now Tate back to the plate. Price Levin squares, Buston misses a fake and a throw to second base and Thomas back to the bag.
• 1:09:43
  So they can one ball one strike.
• 1:09:54
  Now double by Winfield a sacrifice, a single by Robert for a run followed by a single by Bob Davis and runners at first and second and one man out.
• 1:10:04
  And the next pitch, Price Levin ducks under a pitch right over his head. So they can two balls and one strike.
• 1:10:17
  Now Kingman in to say something to Randy Tate. Now Kingman back to the bag at first or back near the bag at first. He's playing in looking for the sacrifice.
• 1:10:31
  Grody has the signs down and now the pitch and it's but it out towards. The pitch is now picked up by Tate. He goes over to Garrett in time and throw the first base not in time.
• 1:10:42
  Now Kingman pick up the fourth play at third on the attempted sacrifice.
• 1:10:50
  Play goes one five if you're scoring moving down to second is Bob Davis. Price Levin the runner at first just missing the double play as Garrett's throw over to me. I was just a shade late.
• 1:11:03
  Brings up until Hernandez who has Watson scored also has singles. Hernandez batting at 222 back in the lineup.
• 1:11:12
  Last night's ball game, Hector Torres played against the Mets.
• 1:11:19
  Torres went 0 for 3. And the first pitch to Hernandez one on a missed a breaking ball at strike one.
• 1:11:29
  High ball game 22 the Padres just runners at first and second two minutes bottom half of the fourth inning.
• 1:11:37
  Hernandez with a closed stance right hand batter knee duck the pitches inside a breaking ball one ball one strike.
• 1:11:49
  Padres led one nothing after the first inning. The Mets got the lead in the fourth when they scored two and now the Padres have tied it up in the bottom of the fourth inning.
• 1:12:00
  Here's the one one pitch. It is popped up. The ball is on third base side. Wayne Garrett is under and Wayne makes a catch and that retires the side.
• 1:12:10
  One run on three hits. No errors and two men left and the score at the end of four is Bob Murphy comes in for the play by play. The Mets do the Padres do.
• 1:12:23
  Have you tried on a pair of right slacks lately? Have you ever tried on a pair? Have you ever heard of right slacks?
• 1:12:30
  Well listen carefully because right slacks are great and it's time you found out how great. Find out about the fabulous field, the fantastic fit, the colors, the styles.

  Getting number five at San Diego Stadium and the top of the batting order for New York.
• 1:13:35
  Del Unser will be up against Dave Fry's 11. The game is tied 2-2. New York two runs on five hits. San Diego two runs on seven hits.
• 1:13:45
  The five rays have had five left in four innings. The Mets have had four left on in four innings.
• 1:13:51
  Del Unser one for two. Del had an infield hit on a ball knocked down by McCuvey. He has a third inning. McCuvey could not complete the play.
• 1:13:59
  Tomorrow night, Tom and Sleever and Dan Spillner are the pagers.
• 1:14:19
  Tom and Sleever is the only 18 game winner of the National League. Randy Jones of the Padres is one of the 17.
• 1:14:26
  Minnesota defeated Milwaukee tonight 2-1 with Dave Gold feeding Pete Broberg in the fishing duel.
• 1:14:34
  Friends are playing good ball. They've won 13 of their last 17.
• 1:14:38
  And a pass by Del Unser grabbed quickly by the catcher Davis. And the throw of Bernice is in time for the on.
• 1:14:44
  Unser never got that run away from the plate.
• 1:14:47
  One out and nobody on. Felix beyond coming up.
• 1:14:55
  Felix has drawn a walk and hit into a fourth play. Nothing for one.
• 1:15:04
  Baltimore and Kansas City tied 1-1 after three in their second ballgame.
• 1:15:10
  And a pitch to be out. A fast ball by Fries. Levin strike one call. The Tigers and Rangers 2-2 last of the seventh inning down in Arlington.
• 1:15:19
  The other dirt. One ball, one strike.

• 1:15:50
  Winfield the right fielder plays it back into Tito Fuentes.
• 1:15:56
  Sixth of the game off Dave Fries Levin. And Mike Vail comes up.
• 1:16:01
  Vail 4-4 on a walk last night. He loves to play. And he's very alert.
• 1:16:08
  He hit into a double play in the first inning and came up in the fourth inning and butted his way on to get the rally going.
• 1:16:14
  Perfect butt down the third base line. Here's the pitch on the way.
• 1:16:19
  Inside to Mike Vail. One ball and no strikes.
• 1:16:25
  Mike stands back from the plate. Withs the back foot on the restraining line. Crouches just slightly.
• 1:16:36
  The pitch by Fries Levin. And a drive of the year toward left center field going to be in for a base hit.
• 1:16:41
  Picking on a hop by Johnny Grubb. Mion will go around a third.
• 1:16:45
  And Vail is on with a long single of left center field.
• 1:16:48
  Runners on first and third and one out. And Rusty Stab coming up.
• 1:16:55
  So in the San Diego series Mike Vail has six hits in seven times of bat.
• 1:17:03
  The hitter is Rusty Stab and plowboy Tom Morgan goes to the mound.
• 1:17:08
  Rich Fulkers will start loosing up again. Fulkers warmed up in the last inning with a miss score.
• 1:17:14
  And the pitch ends on four hits. The game is tied. Two-two were in the fifth inning.
• 1:17:20
  And the pitching coach Tom Morgan walks to the mound.
• 1:17:24
  That's neat this one badly. The parents of one of the Cardinals won the first game of a double header.
• 1:17:33
  That was quite a game for the Cardinals. They were down eight to one after six and a half innings.
• 1:17:39
  They scored six runs in the seventh and pulled within one. Then the Astros got one more.
• 1:17:45
  And it was nine to seven. But the Cardinals tied the game in the last of the eighth inning.
• 1:17:51
  And they won the ball game in the last of the twelfth inning.
• 1:17:54
  The second game is tied two-two in the last of the second.
• 1:17:57
  And the Phillies and Dodgers are tied one-one in the third.
• 1:18:01
  Reds won their day game from Chicago.
• 1:18:04
  Pirates won eight to two behind Larry Dimmery.
• 1:18:08
  Rusty Stab is waiting. Here's the pitch on the way. Inside and low. One ball, no strikes.
• 1:18:19
  Neon is on third and Mike Vail on first.
• 1:18:23
  And the pitch on the way, a foul ball behind third back up into the crowd. One ball and one strike.
• 1:18:29
  Rusty helped to build a run in the fourth inning. He singled a right after the Bunt single by Mike Vail.
• 1:18:34
  Dave Kingman, the single, brought home the first run. That tied the game at one all.
• 1:18:39
  Then Mike Phillips, single to put New York ahead two to one.
• 1:18:43
  And the pitch at a line drive base hit going into center field. And that's what will take the lead.
• 1:18:48
  Neon is in the score and is three to two.
• 1:18:51
  For Rusty Stab, he has 88 run bad it is. Three hits in a row now of Dave Fry's 11.
• 1:19:02
  And the batter is Dave Kingman.
• 1:19:04
  Kingman has reached on a walk and he lined along the single down the left field.
• 1:19:09
  And bringing home, Mike Vail. And that was Kingman's 70th RBI of the year.
• 1:19:15
  Rich Fulker is a left hander, a loose thing in the Padre bullpen.
• 1:19:21
  Fry's 11 may be about one hit from being out of the game. I'm sure he knows it.
• 1:19:25
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:19:27
  Had a breaking ball, a strike call to Dave Kingman.
• 1:19:37
  Runners on first and second.
• 1:19:40
  One man away, here's the pitch on the way, swing at a miss. One ball, one strike to Dave Kingman.
• 1:19:49
  The midst of regain the lead, three to, we're in the top of the fifth inning.
• 1:19:53
  Now Kingman wants to get out and tighten up the batting glove on his left hand.
• 1:20:02
  Fry's 11 ready, the defense far around the left.
• 1:20:06
  Outside in low ball, two, ball one, one and two.
• 1:20:21
  Fry's 11 in the set list of positions. The one to pitch, swinging at a miss, he's struck him out.
• 1:20:28
  Biglin for Fry's 11. And he fans Dave Kingman with a curve ball. And Wayne Garrett comes up.
• 1:20:34
  Four strikeout for stocky right hander Dave Fry's 11.
• 1:20:39
  Garrett is hitless in two times at bat. Wayne is fast at first.
• 1:20:43
  In the soft line drive to the second baseman, Tito Fuentes.
• 1:20:48
  With one out, the midst fits together, three hits in a row to get a run.
• 1:20:55
  And the pitch to Wayne Garrett, fast ball high, one ball and no strikes.
• 1:21:07
  Fry's 11 checking the runners. And the pitch on the way, swing at a miss.
• 1:21:13
  One ball, one strike to Wayne Garrett, he jammed him at the letters.
• 1:21:21
  Mike Vale is on second and Rusty Stab on first, two men away.
• 1:21:27
  Jerry Grody, the on-deck batter.
• 1:21:32
  The one, one pitch, strike called. He worked the outside corner of the knees with a fast ball.
• 1:21:38
  He stopped pitch to make and he made it. One ball, two strikes.
• 1:21:44
  Fry's 11 working rapidly.
• 1:21:47
  And the pitch on the way, drive over second into short center field to base hit.
• 1:21:52
  Around third, coming in is Mike Vale. He will score and the Mets lead four to two.
• 1:21:59
  Swinking liner hit out over second into short center field. A run scoring hit for Wayne Garrett.
• 1:22:05
  And the third, run battered in.
• 1:22:18
  Mets lead four to two. The batter coming up is Jerry Grody.
• 1:22:27
  The Mets had four hits in the fourth inning and now they have four in the fifth inning.
• 1:22:32
  They have four runs on nine hits, no errors. San Diego two runs on seven hits, no errors.
• 1:22:39
  And Grody is the seventh man to batter the inning. Jerry is 0 for 2.
• 1:22:44
  Fry's 11 delivers and a half swing foul back against the screen.
• 1:22:51
  Fulkers has had plenty of time to be ready of John McNamara wants it.
• 1:22:58
  Phillips beyond deck batter.
• 1:23:06
  And the pitch on the way, fast ball a little bit inside, one ball, one strike to Grody.
• 1:23:12
  We're only in the fifth inning, he has seven of the nine starters for New York already have at least one hit.
• 1:23:17
  Grody is hitless and so is Randy Tate.
• 1:23:24
  The one one pitch, low outside handled by Bob Davis. It is two balls and a strike.
• 1:23:40
  Now Grody resetting himself in the batter's box. Stab is on second and Garrett on first two men away.
• 1:23:47
  The infield is tried to left, the op field straight away, here's the pitch.
• 1:23:51
  The half swing, he went through with that one. Two balls and two strikes.
• 1:24:08
  Two and two to Jerry Grody, Jerry hitting 2.99. Now the pitch by Fry's 11, outside ball breeze.
• 1:24:16
  The curve by Fry's 11, missed the outside corner. Rusty Stab on second and Wayne Garrett on first.
• 1:24:23
  They'll be underway with the next delivery by Dave Fry's 11 on three and two, two men away.
• 1:24:30
  Quintes the second baseman, shaded toward the middle of the diamond.
• 1:24:34
  And Hernandez the shortstop over in the hole. There go the runners, the pitch, ground ball it down to third.
• 1:24:41
  The runner by Dave Roberts, Stab around third trying to score, he's going to make it standing up.
• 1:24:47
  The mess lead, five to two. Hard ground ball to third, put it by third baseman Roberts.
• 1:24:53
  And he put it in over into foul territory. With the runners going on three and two, Stab around to third and just kept going.
• 1:25:01
  And the ball was put it fine up over into foul territory so that there was no play on Rusty Stab.
• 1:25:07
  That'll be an error all the way on Dave Roberts. The mess now lead five to two.
• 1:25:12
  McNamara goes to the mound. This will be all for Dave Fry's 11. And Rich Fulkers will be coming in the ball game.
• 1:25:19
  Fulkers in 38 appearances this year has won five and lost eight. I guess to York he has relieved on four different occasions.
• 1:25:28
  He was winning pitcher in relief against York on August 13th, but he worked two innings and an eight to five San Diego victory.
• 1:25:35
  So Rich Fulkers comes on in relief. And while the pitching change is being made here in San Diego, the mess now leading five to two.
• 1:25:44
  This is it for the New York Mets. Every inning or every Mets game home in the way on WIZR FM 105.
• 1:25:51
  We are home for the Mets and Colonials in 1975.
• 1:25:55
  Rich Fulkers who started out in professional baseball in the New York Met Organization.
• 1:26:01
  Last year he was with the Cardinals, had a successful year as a relief pitcher.
• 1:26:06
  He had gone back to the Miners and developed a screwball.
• 1:26:10
  Mike Phillips is the first pitch and he fouls it back into the crowd. No play.
• 1:26:15
  Three runs of score. It's out of the fifth inning. New York now leading five to two.
• 1:26:22
  Last run crossing the plate.
• 1:26:25
  Grotty's ground ball was put in by third baseman Dave Roberts.
• 1:26:35
  Forty York runners on first and third. Garrett is on third and Grotty on first.
• 1:26:40
  He went away. Here comes the pitch.
• 1:26:43
  Last ball a strike called. A two strike out on Mike Phillips.
• 1:26:47
  Dave Fry's leveled in four and two-thirds innings.
• 1:26:51
  He's given up five runs at the moment. A loud nine hits walked two and struck out four.
• 1:26:57
  Had a fly ball into the air to left center field.
• 1:27:00
  Bobby Tolan is standing under it waiting and he has it for the third out.
• 1:27:04
  So eight men came to bat and that scored three runs.
• 1:27:09
  Four hits, one error, two left off.
• 1:27:12
  So we have come halfway at the end of four and a half innings.
• 1:27:15
  The Mets five and the Padres two.
• 1:27:18
  Last of the fifth inning in San Diego.
• 1:27:22
  And it will be two, three and four at the Padres batting order.
• 1:27:26
  Keto Fuentes, Johnny Grubb and Willie McCovey.
• 1:27:29
  New York five runs on nine hits. San Diego two runs on seven hits.
• 1:27:34
  It has not been easy for Randy Tate.
• 1:27:43
  Wayne Garrett in close of third against Keto Fuentes batting left-handed.
• 1:27:47
  Fastball, strike one goal.
• 1:27:57
  They'll answer playing a couple of strides to the opposite field against Keto Fuentes.
• 1:28:01
  A little bit higher with a fastball, one ball, one strike.
• 1:28:13
  And the wind-up, here's the pitch by Randy Tate, poured right in for a strike call, one and two.
• 1:28:18
  Padre ball club is a left-handed hitting ball club.
• 1:28:22
  They have done better against right-handers, they have against left-handers this year.
• 1:28:28
  The one-two pitch hits too high and Fuentes takes that quick step back.
• 1:28:34
  When Keto isn't going to swing in a pitch, he moves that front foot back very quickly.
• 1:28:42
  The two-two delivery hit late a foul ball behind Jim Davenport coaching third.
• 1:28:53
  The Dodgers three and the Phillies one after three and a half. Cardinals two, Houston one at the end of three.
• 1:28:59
  Exposed in giants two to two in the second. High outside, it is three and two.
• 1:29:14
  Randy Tate checking it out now with Jerry Grody.
• 1:29:19
  And the pitch on the way, hit of the air to left field, Mike Vale easing back, easing back, he's under it, one man away.
• 1:29:27
  So Tate getting Keto Fuentes, Fuentes was two for two when he stepped in, and the hitter is Johnny Grubb batting third in the order.
• 1:29:34
  Grubb hitting two seventy-three as Pop the short end Pop the second.
• 1:29:40
  Johnny Grubb was rested last night by John McNamara. He's rather frail, he's a gifted hitter.
• 1:29:46
  But playing day in and day out sometimes his bat gets a little bit slow and when it does McNamara gives him a day off.
• 1:29:58
  The arrow at the end against the left hand hitter, and a strike called at the knees.
• 1:30:05
  Randy Tate trying to break a three game losing streak. Last victory was in Wrigley Field.
• 1:30:11
  And a swing and a strike two. Stretch McCovey waiting on deck.
• 1:30:23
  Tate working in front of the batter, the two strike delivery apply ball over toward the left field line.
• 1:30:28
  Vale running back, running back, slows up, and he makes the catch on the warning track over near the left field corner.
• 1:30:37
  So two outs and nobody on last of the fifth inning, and the hitter is Willie McCovey.
• 1:30:43
  McCovey with 14 home runs and 42 runs Vat of Death.
• 1:30:47
  Rating average of 241, and the outfielder's takeoff on the run. Now this move way over to right.
• 1:30:54
  And with the bases empty this time the Mets will put the shift on.
• 1:30:57
  Phillips moving over on the second base side of the infield, leaving only Garrett between second and third.
• 1:31:03
  So outside ball one. Garrett is actually closer to second than he is to third.
• 1:31:09
  And the left fielder Vale is over in the power alley in left center.
• 1:31:14
  Here's the pitch on the way, swinging and a miss. One ball and one strike.
• 1:31:18
  That big swing by McCovey as Tate challenged him with a fastball.
• 1:31:23
  Randy hasn't had a good strikeout pitch going today. When he breaks that good curve ball over he gets a lot of strikeouts.
• 1:31:30
  And a changeup, swung and missed one and two.
• 1:31:39
  Dave Wenfield waiting his turn at bat.
• 1:31:45
  The one-two delivery and a line shot foul down the right field line.
• 1:31:50
  No play of the counter remains, one and two on McCovey.
• 1:32:01
  The Mets five, the Padres two in the bottom half of the fifth inning.
• 1:32:05
  The Mets have the shift on against Willie McCovey. Pitching one and two.
• 1:32:09
  Inside, that big Mac takes the counters two and two.
• 1:32:20
  Randy Tate has walked two, struck out two and a swing and a foul. Just got a piece of it.
• 1:32:29
  Randy recently became a father for the first time, a baby girl, Tracy Dawn.
• 1:32:37
  A baby girl about two weeks old now.
• 1:32:47
  Willie McCovey knocks the bat to pitch on the way to highball three.
• 1:32:51
  And a full counter to McCovey three and two.
• 1:33:01
  Here's the wind-up by Tate, the payoff pitch, swinging on a messy, shruggy mat.
• 1:33:05
  He threw the curveball on three and two and struck out McCovey.
• 1:33:09
  Randy Tate is third strikeout and for the first time in the game, Randy has a one-two-three inning.
• 1:33:15
  At the end of five now at San Diego Stadium, the New York Mets five and the San Diego Padres two.
• 1:33:22

  The Wind Guard Agency now handles complete mobile home insurance.
• 1:34:27
  The Wind Guard Agency now handles complete mobile home insurance.
• 1:34:32
  It's exciting in San Diego and Randy Tate will lead off. Randy now has 0 for 39 on the year. In the game the 90's fly to center and struck out.
• 1:34:50
  Rich Fulkner is pitching in relief. Dave Fry's 11 gave up 5 runs, 9 hits in 4 and 2-thirds innings. But this to Randy Tate is inside in low ball 1.
• 1:35:05
  Yeah, one sir will be the next hitter. He missed the other side corner, ball 2, 2 balls and no strikes.
• 1:35:14
  Randy here tonight hoping to snag his tough pitching triumph of the year. The 2-0 delivery, low inside ball 3, 3-0.
• 1:35:24
  Tom Seaver will pitch tomorrow night and then Tom will open the homestand on Labor Day against the Pirates in the 4-0-5 B.M. Game of Chay.
• 1:35:32
  Strike call 3-1. Roy McMillan will have his big 3 going in that Pirate Series.
• 1:35:40
  Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman and John Madelack. The 3-1 pitch, that's over a strike call 3-2. And again Randy Tate was taking, they had him taking on 3-1.
• 1:35:56
  The 3-2 delivery, low ball 4 and Randy Tate is on base. He hasn't been there for a while.
• 1:36:08
  The first walk by Folgers and now Del Unser will be coming up at the top of the batting order. Del has 1 for 3 and Enfield hit in the 3rd inning.
• 1:36:20
  The next lead, 5-2, we're in the top of the 6th inning.
• 1:36:31
  If a miss can win here tonight, there'll be 5-4 on this long road trip. And the pitch to Del Unser and he bumps but bumps it foul.
• 1:36:40
  Game of the bat, straight back toward the backstop. Del tried to bump for a hit on the 5th inning but did not get the ball away from the plate.
• 1:36:48
  And the catcher, Bob Davis threw him out.
• 1:36:56
  McCubby holding against Randy Tate. It's left-hander against left-hander. And the pitch on the way, but it's back toward the mound, Folgers will throw the 2nd.
• 1:37:05
  They have a 4th play and on to 1st, not in time. Ball bunted a little too hard, it was high and inside.
• 1:37:12
  Unser was falling away from the plate when he bunted the ball back to Folgers.
• 1:37:23
  So 1 out and 1 on in the visiting 6th inning and Mian will hit. He looks single to right to start a 3-run rally in the last inning.
• 1:37:31
  Mian 1 for 2 and a 1.
• 1:37:35
  Felix Betting, Genetty 6.
• 1:37:42
  Mike Veil comes out on deck.
• 1:37:46
  And the pitch.
• 1:37:48
  High outside ball 1.
• 1:37:54
  Mike Veil has 2 for 3 in this game and he went 4 for 4 last night.
• 1:38:06
  Left-hander, Rich Folgers from the stretch. Here's the pitch. The runner goes, hit and run foul ball down the right field line.
• 1:38:13
  Trying to steer the ball behind the runner on the hit and run play. And it was foul by several yards.
• 1:38:29
  Now Folgers takes to Am to go to the Rosenbank.
• 1:38:37
  One ball and one strike. The cap to Felix Mian as he chokes way up on the bat. Here's the pitch.
• 1:38:44
  And a breaking ball on the inside corner of strike. Felix did not like the call by Tom Garmin and he walks out of the batter's box.
• 1:39:00
  And the quadres have the infield and the outfield set up straight away against Mian. The infield looking for a double play.
• 1:39:08
  One out and one on here at the top of the 6th inning.
• 1:39:16
  From the set position, Folgers steps up. He figures the hit and run play might be on again. He's trying to keep Dealinser close to first.
• 1:39:29
  And the one-two delivery. It's long on and foul back into the backstop.
• 1:39:33
  Fast ball by Rich Folgers.
• 1:39:38
  There was a time when Charlie Williams and Rich Folgers both were going to Parsons College in Iowa at the same time both wound up signing with the Mets.
• 1:39:50
  The one-two delivery. Foul off. Skid it off the bat handle back toward the visiting dugout.
• 1:39:56
  One ball to strikes.
• 1:40:10
  That's neat a victory. The parents won their ball game tonight defeating Atlanta 8-2.
• 1:40:16
  Jamie Easterly did not get out of the first inning.
• 1:40:25
  The pitch. Got a ground ball hit down to 3rd. Roberts has it. He goes to Wednesdays 1 and on to the Covey at double play.
• 1:40:32
  Round the infield for the double play that retires the fans.
• 1:40:37
  No runs, no hits, no errors and none left. 5 and a half innings gone. New York 5, San Diego 2.
• 1:40:44
  Some people save bits of strength. Some people save matchbooks and some people save pretty stones.
• 1:40:50
  When they get all done they have nothing more than a lot of string, loads of matchbooks and piles of stones.

• 1:41:51
  Last of the 6th inning, the Mets lead San Diego 5-2.
• 1:41:55
  Dave Winfield is the leadoff batter, and Winfield hit one over Dell answers head against the 410 foot mark.
• 1:42:02
  A 2-base hit is last time up.
• 1:42:05
  Well, Winfield, it was his 15th double of the year. He's hitting 278.
• 1:42:10
  Former University of Minnesota, all-American.
• 1:42:14
  Randy Tatewines has a pitch to Winfield at Nehigh Strike, a fastball.
• 1:42:21
  Randy had his first 1-2-3 inning in the 5th inning. He retired 1-2-3 Grubb and McCovey.
• 1:42:29
  Curve a strike call, and he gets a 2-strike edge on Dave Winfield.
• 1:42:34
  The on-deck hitter is Bobby Tolan, then the 3rd baseman Dave Roberts.
• 1:42:47
  Now Tate over the head, a round against the arm. He missed in the side, one ball, two strikes.
• 1:42:52
  With a crowd here tonight, the San Diego Padres achieve a new record in home attendance for a season.
• 1:43:02
  And the pitch on the way, ground ball hit the 3rd, big hop for Garrett.
• 1:43:07
  He strives to throw plenty of time for the off.
• 1:43:11
  We have warm-up action of the San Diego bullpen now, right-hander Bill Graves is throwing.
• 1:43:17
  Bobby Tolan on with a fun single at the 2nd inning, and he sacrificed successfully in the 4th inning.
• 1:43:27
  Bobby Tolan hitting 2-49, a left-hand hitter.
• 1:43:34
  And Tate's fighting in, and a five-all hit the center field, and Sir Easingback draws a beat on it.
• 1:43:40
  He has it in his glove to down.
• 1:43:43
  Two outs, nobody on, Dave Roberts comes up. 3rd baseman Roberts, one for two, the single to left field in the 4th inning.
• 1:43:56
  Crowd getting on Dave a little bit for an error he committed in the field, and a ball hit by Jerry Grody.
• 1:44:02
  On the air, the fifth run, scored for New York.
• 1:44:06
  And that's five runs, nine hits, San Diego two runs, and seven hits.
• 1:44:17
  That's had a shutout pitched by Hank Webb last night, he did not walk a batter.
• 1:44:22
  Where Hanky was, his first major league shutout, and his sixth win of the year against five losses.
• 1:44:28
  And it's over, the knees strike one call.
• 1:44:38
  Two outs, nobody on in the last of the 6th inning, and a looping fly that will drop in for a base hit, I believe, beyond the reach of Phillips, it drops for it.
• 1:44:46
  Roberts is on with the Texas Ligger.
• 1:44:49
  Phillips came very close to catching the ball, just beyond his reach.
• 1:44:57
  Roberts has his second hit of the game, and now Bob Davis comes up.
• 1:45:02
  The catcher, Bob Davis, was on on an infield hit in the 4th inning.
• 1:45:08
  After striking out in the 2nd inning.
• 1:45:11
  He has been used only sparingly by San Diego, he's been in just 21 ball games.
• 1:45:16
  Bob Davis, a right hand hitter.
• 1:45:20
  Davis, a young catcher, bats right handed, takes high inside ball one.
• 1:45:27
  Should Davis get on base, we will probably see a pinch hitter for Rich Folgers.
• 1:45:37
  Now the pitch by Randy Tate, a fastball at the knees, a strike call.
• 1:45:44
  Dave Kingman holding against Dave Roberts, he reached out to Texas Ligger, dropping into short left center.
• 1:45:53
  And the pitch on the way, swung on and fouled back. One ball, two strikes.
• 1:46:11
  Randy Tate checking it out, the runner leads it first, the pitch at a half swing, but he held in time.
• 1:46:16
  Breaking ball off the outside corner, so the count is 2-2 on Bob Davis.
• 1:46:25
  That's playing the infield deep against Davis, almost straight away.
• 1:46:29
  The 2-2 pitch, and it's high ball three.
• 1:46:33
  So a full count to Davis, 3-2.
• 1:46:38
  Jean Laclair is not playing tonight, would be the logical pinch hitter if Davis gets on base.
• 1:46:46
  The runner will be going. There he goes, the pitch, strike three call, he broke the curve ball over.
• 1:46:52
  Beautiful pitch by Randy Tate, his fourth strike out of the game.
• 1:46:56
  No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on.
• 1:46:59
  Lindsay Nelson will join you for the play by play in just a moment.
• 1:47:04
  At the end of 6, that'll be New York Mets 5, and the San Diego Padres too.
• 1:47:11
  Two hundred years, hundred years has given us something deep inside has given me reach.
• 1:47:21
  We're even more pride, pride in ourselves, pride in the core, pride in our own free and full.
• 1:47:35
  Looking for a few good men for two hundred years has taught us a lot about what you want.
• 1:47:40
  Good jobs, good pay, education, travel.
• 1:47:44
  But we Marines know any other service can offer you the same good benefits.
• 1:47:48
  So what's the difference? This, we are the Marines. There isn't another outfit like us in the world.
• 1:47:54
  We've been doing things differently for two hundred years now. We're proud of it. Go for pride. See a Marine recruiter.
• 1:48:01
  Two hundred years, two hundred years, two hundred years.
• 1:48:12
  Rich Fokers is still on the mound now for the Padres.
• 1:48:15
  As the Mets come up here in the top half of the 7th inning, and it'll be Mike Vale to lead it off.
• 1:48:20
  Mike Vale has gone two for three last night. He had four bases.
• 1:48:23
  He had one outfield assist in the ball game tonight.
• 1:48:26
  So Mike Vale is off to a tremendous start since coming up from the international league where he was leading the league in baddies at times.
• 1:48:35
  Number 31, Mike Vale.
• 1:48:44
  Vale is the right-hand batter. Here's Fokers.
• 1:48:47
  And the motion in the pitch is land into right field. It is in there for a base hit.
• 1:48:51
  One hopped out there by Dave Winsfield and played back in Vale.
• 1:48:54
  Turns and holds at first with a single. The right is third base of the ball game.
• 1:48:58
  Lead off single. That brings up Rusty Sob. Rusty's at two hits tonight.
• 1:49:04
  He's driven in one run and scored one.
• 1:49:06
  Sob for the years hitting 275. And he has batted in 88 runs.
• 1:49:16
  That third base, Dave Roberts moves up even with the edge of the grass now.
• 1:49:20
  And it is grass here in San Diego. No artificial turf here.
• 1:49:24
  Nor is there any in Los Angeles where the Mets go at the conclusion of this series.
• 1:49:29
  Fokers with a pitch that's low for a ball. It's one and off.
• 1:49:35
  Willie McCubby is holding against the runner at first base.
• 1:49:41
  Left-hand pitcher works to the left-hand batter with the outfield defense straight away.
• 1:49:45
  Pitch is thrown on and pops up back at first base.
• 1:49:48
  McCubby now looking for room is over near the stand.
• 1:49:51
  And he makes the gap. So Rusty Sob is fouled out to McCubby back at first with Mike Vale holding.
• 1:50:01
  Dave Kingman will be the batter.
• 1:50:03
  He had a single that's driving around in the poor attending. He has one for two and a walk.
• 1:50:09
  Kingman hitting 247 for the year. 26 home runs. And 70 runs batted in.
• 1:50:14
  Center fielder Johnny Grubb moved way around toward left now as they play.
• 1:50:19
  Kingman to pull up all the big gap is between Winfield and Wright and Grubb and Center.
• 1:50:24
  That pitches in for a call strike. Wayne Garrett's next in the med batting order.
• 1:50:30
  Eddie Yoast on the coaching lines at third.
• 1:50:34
  Here's a pitch. He's thrown on and it is foul back out of play.
• 1:50:39
  Eddie's son Mike is along on this trip and Eddie Yoast and Mike spent the day at the San Diego Zoo.
• 1:50:44
  So did but Harrison and one can spend a day there for the week or the month.
• 1:50:50
  The method leading in this game by a square of five to two is the batting order in the seventh inning.
• 1:50:54
  And St. Louis Houston and the Cardinals are going to the sixth inning in the Cardinals.
• 1:50:58
  The first inning in the game is the second inning in the game.
• 1:51:02
  And the second inning in the game is the second inning in the game.
• 1:51:05
  And St. Louis Houston and the Cardinals are going to the sixth inning and the Cardinals are still leading two to one.
• 1:51:10
  Doug Ganesney against Harry Rasmussen. Cardinals won the first game of that try nighter.
• 1:51:15
  I score a 10 to nine and 12 innings.
• 1:51:25
  Boker sets up and checks. The pitch is low for a ball. One and two.
• 1:51:31
  And a race such as we have going in the Eastern Division of the National League with the power toads on front.
• 1:51:31
  овойU
• 1:51:38
  Billy second, the Cardinals third and the Mets fourth.
• 1:51:42
  There's a big shine away.
• 1:51:44
  Here's a 2-2 pitch.
• 1:51:58
  and now Kingman turns and kicks the bat back into the center of the diamond.
• 1:52:08
  Kingman turns and kicks the bat out into the center of the diamond and Tom Gorman turns and points the finger.
• 1:52:15
  Kingman checked his swing and went down on his knee and Gorman started a swingy strike
• 1:52:23
  and he did. Kingman arose and kicks the bat out into the center of the diamond.
• 1:52:29
  Two away, Wayne Garrett's coming up. First strike out for Fokker.
• 1:52:37
  Here is the swing of the miss. Usually it's some other penalty attached.
• 1:52:43
  More kicking equipment like that. Ejection, a fine, that sort of thing.
• 1:52:50
  Now Fokker's with the pitch to Garrett. And it's low for all the paid attendance here tonight.
• 1:52:55
  14,779 runs for the total attendance for the season to 1,086,942
• 1:53:02
  and that's a new record for a season here in San Diego.
• 1:53:09
  Garrett back into the batting box. Two men out, McCona one and one.
• 1:53:16
  Mike Vale leading at first base. Fokker sets up. Here's the pitch. He's inside for a ball.
• 1:53:24
  Two and one. Gary Groty is waiting on deck. The Mets have five runs on tenets.
• 1:53:34
  And Padres two runs on eight. Here's the pitch. Stronghold and Fowler. We pass for station identification.
• 1:53:39
  This is the New York Mets baseball network. This is the headclaim for the New York Mets.
• 1:53:43
  The beginning of every Mets game home and away on W's IZR FM 105.
• 1:53:48
  The home for the Mets and Colonials in 1975.
• 1:53:52
  This is Lindsay Nelson with Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner here in San Diego stadium.
• 1:54:00
  Where the Mets are leading the Padres five to two. The Mets have a runner at first two men out.
• 1:54:04
  Two two pitch. He is high in tight and the counter on full and out of Garrett.
• 1:54:07
  It'll be an automatic start for Mike Vale, the runner at first. Mike Vale who had four base hits last night.
• 1:54:15
  And this had three tonight. He's batting over 500 since coming to the Major League.
• 1:54:19
  Theo takes his lead. He's running three two pitches low. It's a walk.
• 1:54:23
  Garrett gets rid of the bat. Goes down to first. Groty sheds the shin guard.
• 1:54:29
  Second walk. He should buy Rich Fokker. Groty has gone over three here tonight.
• 1:54:36
  And the second game hitting streak into tonight's game.
• 1:54:44
  When the PowerHats won their ball game tonight. That meant that they went three and a half games ahead of the Phillies.
• 1:54:51
  Phillies are in second place. They're playing up at Dodger Stadium tonight in their games in the bottom of the fifth inning with the Dodgers leading them by a score of three to one.
• 1:54:59
  Cardinals won the first game of the year to iron out of the key pace. Meaning that they stayed three and a half back.
• 1:55:07
  That's in for a call strike. But they can of course pick up a half game. The Cardinals are leading two to one in the sixth inning of their second game.
• 1:55:18
  The Mets must win here to stay six games back in fourth place.
• 1:55:23
  They're leading first and second. And the breaking pitch is low for all. That was the Scroogey. The extra pitch that Rich Fokker added after having left the pitching staff at the New York Mets.
• 1:55:32
  He went down to the Miners. He picked up the Scroogey and came back to the Cardinals. Bill Grive is up and throwing the bullpen because this figures to be focused last inning.
• 1:55:41
  They figured to go to a pinch hitter. Now the delivery that foul back and out of play. It's one and two.
• 1:55:48
  Mike Vale at second base and Wayne Garrett at first base. And that's that on the top of the seventh inning. San Diego Stadium.
• 1:55:58
  Willie Mays. Coach Willie Mays is here for this game tonight between the Mets and the Padres.
• 1:56:06
  Willie was participating in the pregame drills.
• 1:56:10
  The runners lead at first and second and Fokker steps off. Wastafiant all over again from young catcher Bob Davis who complies.
• 1:56:21
  Fokker doesn't read them either so Groty backs out of the batter's box.
• 1:56:25
  Tomorrow night Tom Seere goes for the Mets. His lifetime record against the Padres. 17 wins and one loss.
• 1:56:31
  Dan Filner for San Diego tomorrow night. He's won five and lost 10.
• 1:56:36
  Here's a one two pitch. He's going on it up the alley and right center field. Grubb is racing over and he cannot get to it.
• 1:56:42
  He's going to go all the way to the wall. Leo comes on to score. Garrett around 30. Coming on to score and Groty is on his way to third.
• 1:56:48
  There is no relay. He goes in standing with a triple and two runs batted in. And the Mets are leading by a score of seven to two.
• 1:56:57
  Groty had a triple last night high off the wall down in the left field corner that might have been a home run.
• 1:57:02
  It was called in play and with a triple and he is now triple to right center field in tonight's game.
• 1:57:08
  Groty batting better than 300 for the year. Driving in two runs there.
• 1:57:14
  They gave him 36 RBIs for the year and with two men out left hand batting shortstop Mike Phillips is coming up.
• 1:57:22
  Phillips is one for three. He batted in a run with a base hit and a fourth inning.
• 1:57:35
  There's a swing and a foul ball off and out of play at strike one. Groty is third with two men out. Randy Tate is on deck.
• 1:57:42
  Will Grive throwing in the San Diego bullpen. The Mets have seven runs on 11 hits in the podries. Have two runs on 80th.
• 1:57:50
  Swing and a Mets. Oh and two the countdown.
• 1:57:59
  Outfield defense straight away against Mike Phillips. Left hand pitcher to a left hand batter here.
• 1:58:07
  Here's a pitch high and tight as Fokker came over the top. It's one and two.
• 1:58:12
  Fokker kicks at the rubber at time of two.
• 1:58:21
  They live with the one and two and it's in the third. Two balls and two strikes.
• 1:58:30
  The Dodgers got three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning so going to the sixth. The Dodgers sixth in the Phillies once.
• 1:58:40
  It was really pen and fever in Philadelphia when the field earlier this month moved into a tie with the pirates in first place.
• 1:58:47
  Here's a foul ball backing out of play. But that fever has since subsided somewhat.
• 1:58:58
  Phillies are tough at home. They're tough on the carpet at Veteran Stadium. But they're not that tough when they leave home.
• 1:59:04
  Especially when they get to where the surface is natural grass. Here's a swing and a one-off Wednesday.
• 1:59:10
  Back into the second place over the McCovey in time. Phillips has downed it off.
• 1:59:14
  So there were two runs. Two hits and a walk and a one left.
• 1:59:19
  And the middle of the seventh inning the score is the Mets seven and the podries two.
• 1:59:24

  Hi this is Kurt Gowdy for the National Park Service.
• 2:00:01
  There's all kinds of critters living in our national parks. Everything from alligators and the swamps and glades.
• 2:00:06
  The bears and the forests and mountains. Sure some of them look cute. But remember they're wild animals and you're in their home.
• 2:00:12
  And those wild animals large or small can be dangerous when startled or frightened.
• 2:00:17
  For your family's safety be cautious around wild animals and have a happy vacation. Says the National Park Service.
• 2:00:24
  And so we hope the rest of our important park services to report the next 40 years.
• 2:00:30
  It'll be Dick Sharon coming up as a fish eater for Rich Fokker. Dick Sharon will be the batter.
• 2:00:36
  He is hitting 222 and 3.17 runs better than.
• 2:00:44
  Dick Sharon.
• 2:00:54
  Fokker's worked 2 and a 3. Charged with 2 runs on 2 hits he struck out 1 and walked 2.
• 2:01:03
  Tomlin have been throwing down in the bullpen. Now Tomlin left hand is throwing. Gryff had thrown earlier.
• 2:01:14
  Sharon in and waiting now as Randy takes the sign. Dipsons the motion kicks and fires and the pitch is down.
• 2:01:19
  The pipe for a call. Strike it on 1. Let's play Sharon straight away. We're in the bottom of the seventh inning in San Diego, California.
• 2:01:29
  Again the pitch. On and on the ground is shortstop. Mike Phillips is over up with it and drops it and has no play.
• 2:01:35
  It's going to be short as the base hit. Says the official score but on the scoreboard it says error shortstop.
• 2:01:45
  So he must have been E6 he said instead of base hit. Make that an error again. Mike Phillips at shortstop which is a logical call of the play.
• 2:01:56
  Enzo Hernandez is coming up. He walks out of base hit and popped out.
• 2:02:06
  Exit Torres has been playing shortstop most of the time of late having beaten Enzo Hernandez out of that post on the Padre team.
• 2:02:13
  Here's Tate's pitch and it's a fastball in for a call. Strike Randy Tate has struck out 4 and he's walked 2.
• 2:02:19
  Came in and this game having struck out 30 in the last 25 innings. Tate came in with a record of 4 wins and 12 losses and this is rookie year in the major league.
• 2:02:29
  Here's a swing and a looper. Andy Short and left field. Phillips is digging out. Getting over. Phillips makes the catch this time.
• 2:02:35
  Turns and throws. Moving back is Sharon. A moment ago Phillips went out there and almost made a catch of a ball just about like that.
• 2:02:43
  This time he went out, bearded over to his right and grabbed it with a one hand thrust to the glove. One away runner at first.
• 2:02:50
  Tito Flintes. Two for three. Which could he have? Adding left.
• 2:03:05
  Kingman is over to hold against the runner at first. That pitch is after a ball.
• 2:03:15
  Tate again looks to go to the side and looks back over to shoulder at Kingman now holding against the runner and here's the pitch.
• 2:03:24
  Now outside. Two and 0. Last year was the first time that the squad had ever gone over the one million mark in home plate attendance.
• 2:03:39
  Pitch is inside and now here tonight with a crowd of some 14,000 plus chains they have gone over the mark they set last year.
• 2:03:50
  That was a great change in attitude about the game of baseball here in San Diego last year. After the fans out it almost left town.
• 2:03:58
  Here's a three-hole pitch. Inside walk. Wednesday's get-thirty. The match goes down to first place. Third walk. It should be by Tate.
• 2:04:07
  That's a runner's first and second and ranks up Johnny Gras.
• 2:04:10
  Service. Popped out, popped out and flyed out over three. Change in attitude about the game is evidence five.
• 2:04:20
  The eagerness and exuberance with which the fans watched the proceedings. They were years and one could sit in almost silence here at San Diego Stadium.
• 2:04:31
  Gunners lead first and second. Fur ball in there for a call strike to the left hand batting Johnny Gras who is followed by Willie McCovey in the batting order.
• 2:04:41
  The Mets are leading by a score of 7-2. Randy Tate off the stretch. Delivers the pitch.
• 2:04:49
  Fastball it on the ground to first. Kingman has it. He turns, goes to fill it. Tate's one to throw back to Tate. He's safe.
• 2:04:55
  Moving over to Seared on the MZL out. Dick Sharon. They're runners at first and Seared two away.
• 2:05:02
  And the O2 pitch. Curve ball and it's placed in the center for a base set. Lead off single for Dave Wensfield. And that will bring up Bobby Solan.
• 2:05:25
  But it is way on first time up. Sacrifice the second time. He is one for two.
• 2:05:35
  The hit was number nine for the Padres in this game. The Mets are leading by a score of 7-2.
• 2:05:47
  Kingman is over the hole against the runners. Off the stretch. Tate delivers. Pitch is on away as Solan moved up and plus the bat.
• 2:05:58
  Gary's hanging around the edge of the grass. Not against the batting possibility but against the speed of the left hand batter.
• 2:06:09
  Here's the pitch. In there for a call site. It's one and one to Tola. Tate follows in the order by Dave Roberts.
• 2:06:18
  Tate's set. Here's the pitch swung on and it only rounds foul. Back up first it's turn coach Dick Susler around down there.
• 2:06:38
  Dick Susler back to the Major League this year as a coach for the Padres after having been out of baseball for four years.
• 2:06:44
  One time he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds after that a coach for the St. Louis Cardinals.
• 2:06:51
  Go to first and not in time. Wensfield back safely. Counted one and two to Tola and at the plate.
• 2:07:01
  He's been working with country musicians in National Tennessee this year. Swinging the ground ball a second. That could be two.
• 2:07:09
  Beyond the Phillips and on to Kingman. Two men out. Nobody on base. And Dave Roberts will be the batter. He's gone two for three.
• 2:07:20
  Dave Roberts who came off the campus of the University of Oregon to the San Diego Padres. Not Sammy Collegiate.
• 2:07:27
  He's been out all day. Not only had he been an All-American...
• 2:07:31
  He had also been college baseball player of the year.
• 2:07:38
  Ran into trouble however this early this year. Couldn't get things together.
• 2:07:42
  We're still not in Hawaii where he spent most of the year. That can't be all bad.
• 2:07:52
  Here's Tatemale working straight away.
• 2:07:54
  It's a fire, it's a fast fall in there for a call.
• 2:07:56
  Strike at the knees, it's Owen Wandser, Robert.
• 2:07:59
  They just struck out four walk three
• 2:08:01
  here tonight and making a bid for his fifth one of the year.
• 2:08:04
  Record four and twelve starting play tonight.
• 2:08:07
  Breaking picture in the air to send it to your lunch here,
• 2:08:09
  as it lined up, people.
• 2:08:11
  Makes the catch and the side is resized.
• 2:08:14
  So there was a hit but none left because of the double play
• 2:08:16
  and at the end of the inning, the score is...
• 2:08:19
  Let's drive on in the Padres too.
• 2:08:21

  A message in the public interest by the National Park Service
• 2:09:29
  Department of Interior and the station.
• 2:09:32
  And Rusty Sob will lead it off.
• 2:09:35
  Against Western division teams this year,
• 2:09:38
  the Mets have a record coming into the night game
• 2:09:40
  of 38 wins and 28 losses.
• 2:09:43
  So the Mets have stayed alive against the Western division this year.
• 2:09:50
  When they finish Sunday's game in Los Angeles,
• 2:09:52
  they will have completed their schedule
• 2:09:54
  for this year against Western division teams.
• 2:09:57
  Rusty Sob has grounded out, had a base hit,
• 2:09:59
  had a base hit to drive in a run and fouled out,
• 2:10:01
  two for four.
• 2:10:03
  Getting 275.
• 2:10:09
  Dave Kingman is waiting on deck.
• 2:10:11
  The pitcher record is Dave Friesleben who started.
• 2:10:14
  He worked four and two-thirds and then Rich Volcker
• 2:10:16
  worked two and a third.
• 2:10:18
  The pitch is in there for a call strike.
• 2:10:26
  The left-hander with the pitch.
• 2:10:28
  Side-armed and fouled off.
• 2:10:30
  O and two to Rusty Sob.
• 2:10:42
  The O2 pitch.
• 2:10:45
  Fouled off.
• 2:10:47
  He was checking back.
• 2:10:48
  He was not swinging.
• 2:10:49
  He just checked the bat back then he clicked off the handle.
• 2:10:52
  So the count holds at O and two.
• 2:11:01
  Pitch misses low on a weight.
• 2:11:03
  One and two is the count.
• 2:11:09
  Common takes a moment.
• 2:11:11
  The drugs is the bill of his cap.
• 2:11:14
  Gifts into the motion.
• 2:11:16
  The pitch is off the glove.
• 2:11:19
  Get your Bob Davis rolling back.
• 2:11:22
  Two and two now.
• 2:11:23
  The count is off.
• 2:11:24
  The Mets have had seven runs on 11 hits
• 2:11:26
  and the Padres two runs on nine hits.
• 2:11:30
  Two-two pitch.
• 2:11:32
  It's going on.
• 2:11:33
  It's on the ground to second.
• 2:11:34
  Wednesday is headed.
• 2:11:35
  Goes to McCovey at first.
• 2:11:37
  There's one away.
• 2:11:38
  That'll bring up Dave Kingman.
• 2:11:40
  Second cardinal game is in the eighth inning now
• 2:11:42
  and the cards are still leading Houston by a score of two to one.
• 2:11:45
  The Dodgers are batting the bottom of the seventh
• 2:11:47
  leading the Phillies by a score of six to one.
• 2:11:50
  Kingman is getting the business of the fans here in San Diego
• 2:11:56
  because of his having kicked the bat away last time
• 2:11:59
  when he struck out.
• 2:12:01
  That pitch is low for a ball.
• 2:12:04
  One and O of the count.
• 2:12:09
  One man on.
• 2:12:10
  Nobody on base.
• 2:12:11
  Common delivers the pitch.
• 2:12:12
  Inside for a ball.
• 2:12:16
  Two and O of Dave Kingman who is followed by Wayne Garrett.
• 2:12:25
  That ball is fouled often out of play.
• 2:12:27
  Two balls and a strike.
• 2:12:33
  There is a certain New York flavor to part of the operation of these Padres.
• 2:12:38
  The president of the team is Fleti Bovezi.
• 2:12:40
  Long time general man, Sula Dodgers,
• 2:12:42
  who lives in Westchester County for many years,
• 2:12:44
  playing in the ground ball to short,
• 2:12:46
  taking their deep iron end as a long throw and end time.
• 2:12:49
  That Kingman,
• 2:12:50
  struck down the first base.
• 2:12:55
  Two away and out of play up Wayne Garrett.
• 2:12:57
  We've lost the station identification.
• 2:12:59
  This is the New York Mets baseball network.
• 2:13:02
  This is Julius LaRosa with us today for the New York Mets.
• 2:13:06
  Every inning of every Mets game, home in the way,

  IZR FM 105, your home for the Mets and Colonials in 1975.
• 2:13:17
  This is Lindsay Nelson with Ralph Counter and Bob Murphy
• 2:13:19
  here in San Diego, California,
• 2:13:21
  where the Mets are leading the Padres 7-2 Garrett at the plate.
• 2:13:24
  Thomas pitches in for a call of strikes.
• 2:13:26
  The Mets are batting in the top of the night.
• 2:13:27
  Two men out and nobody on base.
• 2:13:30
  Vice President General Manager of the Padres,
• 2:13:32
  Peter Bovezi, who was born in Westchester County, New York.
• 2:13:35
  Here's a pitch low.
• 2:13:37
  Broadcaster is Jerry Coleman,
• 2:13:39
  who played for the Yankees and broadcast for the Yankees.
• 2:13:43
  One-one delivery.
• 2:13:45
  Swung on and fouled off to the left side out of play.
• 2:13:47
  It's one and two.
• 2:14:00
  Dave Tomlin with a pitch.
• 2:14:02
  Riding in high for a ball.
• 2:14:05
  One-one, two.
• 2:14:12
  And the two-two pitch.
• 2:14:14
  Swung on and fouled off.
• 2:14:19
  This is Clefhouse here.
• 2:14:21
  They have, of course, the coaches for their lockets in a row.
• 2:14:23
  And the first one after Willie May is Joe Torres.
• 2:14:27
  Willie was getting to her before the game
• 2:14:29
  and said, you know what the next move is.
• 2:14:34
  Here is the two-two pitch.
• 2:14:37
  Swung on.
• 2:14:38
  It in the air to right for Yilan.
• 2:14:39
  Moving up is Wensley as it lined up.
• 2:14:41
  And he makes the catch.
• 2:14:43
  So that is retired in order, nothing is lost.
• 2:14:47
  And in the middle of the night,
• 2:14:48
  ending the score is the next seven in the Padres too.
• 2:14:51

  Paul, you're the next for a tune-up.

  Sometimes when my baby doesn't sleep,
• 2:15:32
  I hold him and walk him and think how lucky I am.
• 2:15:36
  I remembered Margeau Dimes words,
• 2:15:38
  had good prenatal care,
• 2:15:40
  so I adopted early and often and did what he said.
• 2:15:43
  Please follow Margeau Dimes' advice if you're pregnant.
• 2:15:47
  Be good to your baby before it's born.
• 2:15:51
  Release.
• 2:16:01
  Randy Pace trying for a complete game of performance.
• 2:16:04
  Now we'll face the Pontus and say bad in the bottom of the ninth inning.
• 2:16:09
  And we're going to get a pinch hitter.
• 2:16:13
  The Kubiak has got a bat for Bob Davis.
• 2:16:17
  Kubiak.
• 2:16:28
  Kubiak batting for David.
• 2:16:31
  Kubiak is hitting 221 with 12 runs,
• 2:16:33
  but it's not there on deck, but...
• 2:16:38
  ...it means they have not sent out a pinch hitter yet to bat for him.
• 2:16:54
  Now here is a pick, and it's in there for a call strut.
• 2:16:59
  Now Locklear has come out on deck.
• 2:17:01
  Keen Locklear is out there on deck now.
• 2:17:04
  Locklear will bat for Tomlin.
• 2:17:07
  Here's a swing and a foul ball back and out of play.
• 2:17:10
  The game in St. Louis is now in the bottom of the eighth inning,
• 2:17:13
  and the Cardinals are still leading it by a score of 2-1 as they bat in the bottom of the eighth.
• 2:17:17
  The Cardinals trying for a sweep of a two game set,
• 2:17:20
  but Phillies are trailing the Dodgers who lead them by a score of 6-1.
• 2:17:23
  And if the Cardinals win that second game and the field is loose,
• 2:17:26
  the cards will move ahead of the field from the standing for the Eastern Division.
• 2:17:30
  Going to ground ball to Kingman, who can't find it, goes to first bad just in time.
• 2:17:35
  Kingman dropped it and could not find it for a moment,
• 2:17:37
  and then recovered in time to get it over to Randy Tate, the pitcher who covered it first,
• 2:17:41
  for a 3-1 putout.
• 2:17:43
  One away, Locklear is batting for Tomlin.
• 2:17:46
  And shooting for the Eastern Football, 32.
• 2:17:48
  The Kubiag grounded out.
• 2:17:50
  Locklear coming up with a batting average of 360 and four homers and 26 runs batted in.
• 2:17:56
  And the first pitch was from the Houston, the Dodgers, the Colombs, the Colombs, the two-breakouts, one miss batter.
• 2:18:06
  Randy Tate has had only one complete game performance in his major league career.
• 2:18:14
  He's fine for a second here tonight.
• 2:18:16
  Fire at the pitch a little high for a ball that's 1-0.
• 2:18:25
  One man out with nobody on base.
• 2:18:27
  Padre is batting in the bottom of the ninth inning.
• 2:18:29
  The Mets leading by a score of 7-2.
• 2:18:34
  Eight pitch in there, Breckholtz strikes.
• 2:18:37
  It's 1-1. Randy Tate has struck out four and he's walked three.
• 2:18:45
  Here's the 1-1.
• 2:18:47
  Funghorn and foul off to the left side out of play. It's 1-2.
• 2:18:59
  After this game, the Mets will have 32 games left on their schedule.
• 2:19:05
  13 at home and 19 on the road.
• 2:19:09
  One two pitch, Funghorn and miss.
• 2:19:11
  Shuck him out.
• 2:19:13
  This strikeout for Randy Tate, Laughley are swinging two away and in to Hernandez.
• 2:19:18
  It's coming up.
• 2:19:23
  Hernandez has walked out of base hit.
• 2:19:26
  Popped out and popped out. He has one for three and a walk.
• 2:19:32
  Hector Torres has been playing most of the shortstop recently.
• 2:19:36
  Having beaten in to out of that spot.
• 2:19:39
  It's a tie for a ball. It's one and all.
• 2:19:44
  Pirates won their game eight to two tonight from the Atlanta Braves.
• 2:19:51
  That fall down the five-call strike, it's one and one.
• 2:19:54
  So a Mets victory would leave them trailing the Pirates by six games in the Eastern Division with 32 games left to play.
• 2:20:01
  That's a lot of games.
• 2:20:04
  They're going in a high five all the way up.
• 2:20:09
  Mike Vail makes the catch and the ball game is over. Randy Tate gets a complete game victory.
• 2:20:15
  Only the second in his major league career.
• 2:20:17
  The Mets have made it two in a row with the Padres in the ninth inning, nothing across.
• 2:20:21
  We'll be back in a moment with a final summary in total.
• 2:20:23
  Right now the final score of the game is Mets seven and the Padres two.
• 2:20:27

• 2:20:53
  You also need the skill to turn roaches and bridges, ponchos into rats and personnel carriers on a dime.

• 2:21:37
  Here in San Diego, the New York Mets have defeated the Padres.
• 2:21:41
  I score a seven or two and tell you something of how they did it.
• 2:21:44
  The Padres have the early lead scoring in the bottom of the first to walk to Hernandez,
• 2:21:49

• 2:22:09
  Dave Gingman lined a single down in the left field line and the Mets had tied the ball game.
• 2:22:14
  Then with Mike Phillips at the plate and two men away,
• 2:22:18
  Phillips single the center field to put the Mets' front by a score of two to one.
• 2:22:22
  Padres got the run back and tied it up again with Dave Winfield
• 2:22:25
  that off with a double off the center field sent 410 feet away.
• 2:22:29
  Bobby Tolan sacrificing the third and Winfield scored in the base hit by Dave Roberts.
• 2:22:34
  Mets then got the label and they scored three runs in the fifth inning.
• 2:22:38
  Bill Hunter let off and was out on a ball, funded out in front of the plate.
• 2:22:42
  He was thrown out at first base, beatings me on single to right field.
• 2:22:45
  Mike Bale got the second of his three hits in the ball game.
• 2:22:48
  A single to left center field with me on going to third.
• 2:22:51
  Rusty's top single up the middle to put the Mets' front by a score of three to two.
• 2:22:55
  Wayne Gaird then came through with a base hit after an error and a lot of another run
• 2:22:59
  and the Mets had to leave by a score of five to two.
• 2:23:02
  They got two more runs in the seventh inning with Mike Bale single to right field
• 2:23:05
  and Jerry Grody came up with a double after a walk to Wayne Gaird
• 2:23:08
  to drive in the final two runs of the ball game.
• 2:23:11
  Randy Tate getting his second complete game of the season
• 2:23:14

  cabinet colonel Vicente de Masco resigned.
• 2:25:33
  Mrs. Perron rejected the resignation.
• 2:25:35
  That's the top story. I'm Dan Scanlon.
• 2:25:39
  In headlines worldwide, Agriculture Secretary Buck says
• 2:25:43
  the international long showman's boycott of Soviet grain ship mits is an attempt
• 2:25:46
  to ensure that domestic shipping gets a bigger share of the import-export business.
• 2:25:51
  Vice President Rockefeller has praised President Ford's recognition
• 2:25:54
  of what Rockefeller terms the urgent need to reform welfare and social programs
• 2:25:59
  so they don't harm the nation's economic strength.
• 2:26:02
  And lawyer Cliff Finch has won a victory in the gubernatorial runoff,
• 2:26:06
  Democratic gubernatorial runoff in Mississippi.
• 2:26:09
  48-year-old Finch scored big gains in areas considered to be strongholds
• 2:26:13
  of his opponent, Lieutenant Governor William Winter.
• 2:26:16
  More than 30 police officers armed with tear gas, riot shields and billy clubs

• 2:26:39
  In depth at this hour, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butts says Labor Leader George Meany
• 2:26:44
  is sincere in his grain boycott stance.
• 2:26:47
  However, Butts charges that other labor leaders are pushing the grain boycott
• 2:26:51
  in an attempt to get a bigger chunk of the import-export business for domestic shipping.
• 2:26:56
  The Russians have been sending their own ships or those of satellite nations
• 2:27:00
  to pick up the U.S. grain they've ordered.
• 2:27:02
  Butts says talk of higher food prices by the Maritime Union is a pretext.
• 2:27:07
  Labor Chief Meany went to the White House Tuesday afternoon,
• 2:27:10
  summoned by President Ford to talk about the grain dispute.
• 2:27:13
  If the president jaw-boned Meany, it didn't work,
• 2:27:16
  judging by Meany's comments after the session.
• 2:27:19
  We had a long extended discussion with the president's representative this morning
• 2:27:24
  and then a good long discussion with the president this afternoon.
• 2:27:27
  No decisions were made. The situation has not changed in any way
• 2:27:31
  with respect whatsoever except that we have a lot more information.
• 2:27:34
  And we expect to continue our discussions in the weeks ahead.
• 2:27:37
  The boycott continues? Yes, sir.
• 2:27:39
  The federal judge in Texas says he will decide Wednesday whether or not

  Officials say there were no injuries during the incident.
• 2:28:07
  Prison Superintendent John Whitcomb said the guards were seized by four inmates
• 2:28:10
  armed with makeshift weapons.
• 2:28:12
  An investigation is underway to determine exactly how many prisoners were involved.
• 2:28:16
  It is believed four prisoners were involved and all faced prosecution.
• 2:28:21
  Federal officials say the arrest of two people at the Miami International Airport
• 2:28:24

  Speaking at the conference of Lieutenant Governors in Alabama,
• 2:29:15
  Vice President Rockefeller says the federal social spending could soar to $300 billion a year
• 2:29:20
  by the end of the decade.
• 2:29:22
  And he prays President Ford, for having what he said was the courage to hold down government spending
• 2:29:27
  to cut back the rate of inflation and that the president recognizes the urgent need to reshape
• 2:29:31
  our welfare and social programs so they meet human need
• 2:29:34
  without undermining the nation's economic strength.
• 2:29:37
  Also appearing to speak at that conference was Alabama's George Wallace,
• 2:29:41
  who said he had something in common with Rockefeller.
• 2:29:43
  We have something in common, Mr. Vice President, you and myself,
• 2:29:48
  and that I understand that some of the hard-to-the-party doesn't get along too well with you.
• 2:29:55
  And I can tell you that much of the hard-to-the-party doesn't get along with me,
• 2:30:00
  so we do have something in common.
• 2:30:03
  And that's the news from the Associated Press Radio News Center in Washington.
• 2:30:07
  This is Dan Scanlon.
