• 4:33
  Milton May giving the sign two strikes to count on alou who has seen a lot of off-speed pitches in this series
• 4:40
  Here it comes off-speed pitch fouled back onto the screen keeping it strike two
• 4:45
  It'll be alou's size Warren Cruz here in the Cardinal first
• 4:50
  Sure, you're aware of the fact that the Cardinals have won both games of this series
• 4:56
  And are now within six of the Pirates trying to make it five
• 4:59
  Here it comes Matty swings and drills that foul into the seats look out
• 5:05
  It's still strike two
• 5:11
  The early starting time here of
• 5:14
  705 on a Saturday night a good crowd on hand and a sellout for tomorrow here at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh
• 5:22
  Cardinals won three to two the night before last and two to nothing last night
• 5:26
  Johnson looks in gets the sign he's thrown nothing but strikes to alou ball one is outside
• 5:35
  And another off-speed pitch
• 5:39
  Harry Wendell step the plate umpire
• 5:42
  Olsen at first Gorman at second base and Pellicudis third the pitch and it's low inside that makes it two and two
• 5:50
  Bob Gibson will be the Cardinal pitcher in this ballgame Bob Johnson on the mound for the Pirates
• 5:56
  His record is seven and seven
• 6:00
  He fires fastball fouled back and out of play
• 6:04
  And it's still two and two
• 6:07
  Johnson has pitched one shutout. He has six complete games
• 6:11
  An earned run average of four and a half
• 6:13
  2.21 he's been tagged for 14 homers more than anybody else on the pirate staff
• 6:20
  His two two delivery to Mattie alou
• 6:23
  Is on the way low for ball three
• 6:28
  Low inside breaking ball on a full count of three and two
• 6:33
  Be great if the Cardinals could get out in front again early to
• 6:36
  Sort of give the Pirates the idea that it could happen again tonight
• 6:42
  the pitch
• 6:45
  fastball
• 6:47
  Low ball four and the catcher may thought they had him struck out
• 6:50
  He threw the ball down to third
• 6:53
  And he and the plate umpire get into it and the pitcher Bob Johnson comes down off the mound
• 6:59
  a
• 7:00
  highly
• 7:02
  A highly
• 7:07
  Debatable ball four call puts alou on and we're talking from a pirate player viewpoint
• 7:14
  They thought the pitch had the strike zone at the knees the batter is Sizemore with their lou on base
• 7:21
  That's the way the ballgame starts
• 7:23
  Sizemore hitting 267 has an eight game hitting streak going
• 7:30
  The pitch to him is over but low ball one
• 7:35
  Johnson was way out ahead of alou no balls two strikes ended up losing him
• 7:40
  And that gives Sizemore hitting room through the right side Robertson is holding against the runner
• 7:45
  A lead by Matty i'll throw over there and he's back
• 7:54
  Milton may is doing the catching he's a left-handed batter
• 8:00
  The backup man for sanguine alou with the lead
• 8:04
  The pitch to sizemore and a foul trying to go to right field off to the right it goes one ball one strike
• 8:10
  The on deck batter is jose cruz
• 8:16
  Some of our left-handed hitters like cruz and haig are due to pop the ball
• 8:23
  It's been a long time since we've seen the long ball off their bats maybe tonight will be the night
• 8:28
  They're playing straight away in the pirate outfield the one one pitch
• 8:31
  Coming to sizemore and it's inside it almost hit him ball two
• 8:35
  Spun him out of there
• 8:41
  Johnson is not a real control artist
• 8:44
  Although his base on balls total is not very high. He's walked 40 now and 126 innings
• 8:52
  Alou with the lead
• 8:54
  There he goes and a fly ball into the right field corner chased by the right fielder dolliver leo makes a running catch
• 8:59
  Throws the first alou gets back. Oh, he made a good play on that ball
• 9:06
  With the right-handed batter up there sizemore
• 9:11
  The ball was hit right down the right field line about five feet off the line and double leo on the run
• 9:18
  Caught up with the ball and made the catch
• 9:21
  Alou had to scramble to get back and had that the leo missed that ball. It would have been big big trouble for pittsburgh
• 9:27
  That ball would have gone down into the corner a run would have scored and sizemore probably would have ended up at third
• 9:34
  But davalio made the catch
• 9:37
  The hitter is cruz with the runner at first and one out
• 9:41
  Tossed to first the runner back
• 9:43
  Sizemore got a bad break on his ball. It just hung up long enough for davalio to get there
• 9:49
  There cruz has four home runs the pitch
• 9:57
  Low inside ball one and johnson thought he had a strike again
• 10:01
  He's uh again at odds with the plate umpire wendell stuc
• 10:08
  Cruz average is 248 alou at first one out
• 10:12
  He's a little bit better than the other one
• 10:16
  Maddie takes his lead the pitch swing and a foul trying to go to left that evens the count one and one
• 10:25
  Well, the pirates have their big man back in the lineup tonight willy starjewel who sat out last evening's encounter
• 10:33
  They're not playing clementi and sanguine this evening
• 10:35
  The
• 10:40
  Cruz waiting
• 10:43
  I'll throw the first and alou gets back
• 10:47
  Johnson doesn't appear to have a
• 10:51
  Real good motion toward first
• 10:54
  Looks like they might be able to run on him alou leads away not going cruz takes it outside ball two two and one
• 11:01
  Johnson is not missing by a very large margin two balls in a strike
• 11:14
  Cardinals hit and run on this couch with size more at the plate
• 11:20
  Alou is not going and the pitch is a strike call that the letters outside edge two and two
• 11:25
  Two down deck batter is tori
• 11:32
  Gibson will be the cardinal hurler tonight trying for his 11th win
• 11:42
  Maddie alou leads away
• 11:46
  He's going a swing and a pop flying in a short left field down the line chased by cash
• 11:51
  And he dropped the ball. It's fair and both runners are safe. He dropped the ball with his back to the plate and it's a base hit
• 12:00
  Alou stopped at second. He had no chance to go to third because the ball was smack in cash's glove
• 12:07
  And then popped out
• 12:09
  The left fielder starjewel couldn't get there in time to help him out and tori is up with two men on base and one out
• 12:15
  With a left-handed batter up there star joe was playing off the line somewhat
• 12:22
  He couldn't get in quickly enough to make the catch
• 12:26
  And went off cash his glove and it's a base hit now alou's at second
• 12:31
  Cruz at first and tori the batter. He's leading the league again by one point over glenn beckert batting 355
• 12:40
  They play him to pull
• 12:42
  Johnson is set
• 12:44
  his pitch
• 12:46
  Steer right call at the knees
• 12:51
  Tori 17 homers 94 runs batted in
• 12:57
  Pirate infield a double play depth
• 13:00
  Mazurowski trying to keep alou close at second base
• 13:03
  It wouldn't be surprising to see maddie run the pitch sidearm curve low outside one and one
• 13:09
  We'll have another side armor going tomorrow bruce keason
• 13:18
  Reggie cleveland will work for the cards
• 13:23
  Tori up there with two men on base and one man out here in the first inning
• 13:28
  Alou leads away. There's a ground ball base hitter to right field and alou will score
• 13:32
  He rounds third heads for the plate. There goes cruz to third. He's safe and the cardinals lead one to nothing
• 13:41
  Tori slapped it through the right side and the cardinals have jumped out in front in this ballgame
• 13:47
  Alou scored cruz raced to third
• 13:51
  Tori gets his 95th run batted in of the year
• 13:54
  The cardinals lead one to nothing and the batter is ted simons
• 13:58
  And there goes a pitcher turning down to the pirate bullpen
• 14:05
  Bob moose gets up and starts to throw
• 14:10
  Ted simons can add to the lead. He's hitting 306. He has three home runs
• 14:16
  The infield back with cruz at third and tori at first
• 14:20
  They lead off
• 14:22
  The pitch to simons a swing and a shot to right. That's a base hit that makes it two to nothing and tori stops at second
• 14:29
  An rbi single for simons his 56th run batted in the cardinals and gibson are out in front by two
• 14:38
  Cruz scored
• 14:41
  Three hits in a row by cruz tori and simons
• 14:44
  It's a two to nothing ballgame and the batter is joe hay boy would we like to see joe get a hold of one
• 14:53
  He had really do joe's average is down to 209 10 home runs most of which he gathered very early in the season
• 15:02
  And the truth about it is he got those home runs
• 15:06
  Early before the pitchers were real sharp and started to get that off-speed stuff over to him
• 15:10
  Oh if he could rip one now there are two men on with one man out
• 15:17
  Tori at second and simons at first
• 15:20
  Bob johnson of the pirates is on the ropes
• 15:25
  A look in by the big right hander
• 15:28
  The first pitch to joe hay a change up is low ball one and that helps they when the pitcher cannot get that slow stuff over
• 15:35
  all one
• 15:37
  One
• 15:42
  Two to nothing the cardinals lead in the first on a walk in three singles
• 15:49
  Johnson ready to pitch to haig here it is and it's low for ball to the undecider is kubiak
• 15:57
  Johnson looks in at the umpire again
• 16:00
  Pauses out there on the mound
• 16:02
  The second pitch to joe hay
• 16:06
  Now steps on and looks in the count is two balls no strikes they play haig to pull the ball
• 16:14
  Here it comes
• 16:16
  Oh
• 16:30
  Well, I tried to talk him into that one
• 16:33
  And with a count of two balls and no strikes haig homers with two on
• 16:38
  And mix it a five run cardinal first you forget to worry me when you do things like that. You got est or something
• 16:44
  I believe might head for vegas
• 16:49
  Here comes danny murtaugh out of the dugout
• 16:52
  Hey with a count of two balls and no strikes drilled one a line drive over the fence and right
• 16:58
  Driving in tori driving in seven
• 17:01
  Giving joe 11 home runs for the year
• 17:04
  37 runs batted in
• 17:08
  And it's five to nothing here in the first
• 17:10
  The only put out was on the fine play but navali oh
• 17:14
  Yeah, you look back on that and think how many runs we might have in the bank
• 17:17
  I'm delighted with the five but uh not devilio come on to make that circus robbery on the ball hit by ted sizemore
• 17:25
  We might have six or seven in the bank
• 17:27
  Danny murtaugh made an awfully slow walk to the mound
• 17:31
  Luz has been warming up very long
• 17:33
  But it may be that the smiling arishman from chester, pennsylvania has seen enough of big
• 17:38
  Bob johnson on this evening and that's what harry wendell said has gone out to find out
• 17:43
  We've got a long way to go on this ball game and against a tough pirate hitting ball club
• 17:47
  But the cardinals have bob gibson on the mound
• 17:50
  He's been staked to a five run lead on four hits
• 17:54
  And as I said if the cardinals can score early the pirates might get the idea that it could happen again
• 17:59
  Well, they surely do have that idea
• 18:02
  right now
• 18:04
  Murtaugh leaves the mound without making a pitching chain
• 18:06
  And bob moose continues to throw down in the bullpen
• 18:10
  What's the story on moose?
• 18:12
  Jim he's out of their rotation isn't he?
• 18:14
  He was away for two weeks of marine duty as I understand it jack and then he came back and he had one start and he was very ineffective in it
• 18:22
  And I think uh possibly danny just has him down there to try to get him back in shape and we full well know about all the military duty and how it's affected some of our men
• 18:32
  Well now we're going to have a pitching change and we might have a little discussion here because
• 18:37
  Danny murtaugh had left the mound and walked off the playing field that is beyond the foul lines
• 18:46
  I was under the impression jim that once the manager did that without making a pitching change
• 18:50
  The pitcher had to work to an additional batter
• 18:53
  That was my understanding too but
• 18:55
  It's like the umpires are going to allow this because moose has got his jacket and he's headed on the long walk in here
• 19:02
  So the pirates are making a pitching change here in the first stunning and they are bringing in the right-hander bob moose
• 19:10
  Moose has the same record as the gentleman whom he replaces on the mound
• 19:16
  Johnson leaves with a mark of seven and seven and moose is the same
• 19:21
  Well this isn't going to help johnson's earned run average any
• 19:25
  He pitched a third of an inning
• 19:27
  He allowed five runs four hits he struck out none and he walked one and it worked him for a walk sizemore line to right
• 19:35
  Cruz got the pop single that went off the glove actually out of the glove of the third baseman cash out in short left field
• 19:45
  Tori's single homerun simon's single homerun and haig hit a three run homer in the cardinals lead five to nothing
• 19:53
  And moose comes into the ball game and kubiak will be at the plate against him
• 19:59
  Murtagh and Wendelstedt the manager and the plate umpire got into a discussion out there in the mound
• 20:07
  And it started to get heated then the pirates made the pitching change
• 20:11
  Actually the plate umpire here did not call for the pitcher out of the bullpen nor did it appear that Murtagh called for the pitcher out of the bullpen
• 20:23
  So I guess I must be mistaken about my interpretation of that rule
• 20:29
  Just as when a manager makes two trips to the mound in one inning the pitcher has to come out
• 20:35
  If he visits the mound at any time and then leaves I thought that the pitcher had to work to another batter but I guess I'm wrong
• 20:47
  How the Giants do today Jim?
• 20:51
  They're in the 10th inning they're tied up 5-5 with McGraw going against Don Mcmahon now
• 20:57
  Donno who started the game for New York Brian started for the Giants but it's 5-5 last of the season
• 21:01
  Donno who started the game for New York Brian started for the Giants but it's 5-5 last of the 10th
• 21:07
  We continue now with the right-hander Bob Moose on the mound and Ted Kubiak at the plate hitting 2-29 with four homers
• 21:15
  He takes a ball inside
• 21:19
  I'll bet the Johnson the pirate starter will blame the umpire for part of his troubles because he didn't agree with about four or five calls
• 21:29
  And Kubiak swings grounds it to the right of Robertson off his glove he picks it up and he throws too late
• 21:35
  And that'll be a base hit
• 21:37
  The ball was hit to the right of Robertson and went off his glove he made one grab at the ball but it had rolled away
• 21:43
  And Kubiak is safely on with a hit the Cardinals fifth hit of the inning
• 21:48
  The batter is Maxwell
• 21:52
  I don't know if last night when we were describing the game the disappointment showed in my voice with regard to Maxville's accomplishments or lack of accomplishments
• 22:03
  I should point out that Maxi with that sore side is playing with his chest all taped up
• 22:09
  He injured his ribs in a belly flopper down at second base the other night
• 22:14
  And he's just having a lot of trouble swinging the bat there's a throw to first and Kubiak gets back
• 22:19
  So if I was a little harsh on Maxville it was because primarily of our disappointment more than anything else
• 22:27
  The pitch to Dow and he takes it low for a ball
• 22:35
  He's the eighth man to bat for the Cardinals in the inning
• 22:38
  Robertson is holding against Kubiak and the outfield plays Maxville around to the right
• 22:44
  The runner is on with one man out the pitch is made by Bob Moose Maxville takes it low outside ball two
• 22:54
  Cardinals trying to move within five you remember they were 14 out at one time
• 23:05
  Two balls no strikes the count to Maxville he's hitting 220
• 23:10
  The pitch to him swing and a foul trying to go to right field two and one
• 23:17
  Gibson kneeling in the on deck circle and he must be feeling pretty good about the situation at the moment
• 23:24
  He has a five run lead
• 23:32
  We've been underway here for about 25 minutes and the Pirates haven't swung a bat yet
• 23:36
  There's a throw to first and Kubiak got back was pretty close
• 23:41
  Two balls and a strike to Maxville the runner might be going here with one man out
• 23:46
  The runner is not going and there's a foul out of play two and two the ball down in the right field
• 23:54
  A walk to Elu Sizemore lined out Cruz a scratch single an RBI single by Torrey
• 24:01
  An RBI single by Simmons a three run homer by Joe Hague five nothing Cardinals
• 24:10
  Two and two on Maxville Moose is ready
• 24:16
  Pitches swing and a miss he struck him out with a high delivery
• 24:20
  Another second out of the inning
• 24:22
  A pause for identification with Bob Gibson coming up the ninth man to bat here in the Cardinal first
• 24:27
  This is the Cardinals baseball network
• 24:44
  Gibson with two home runs five runs batted in is batting 200
• 24:48
  There's a wild throw to first base Kubiak will go to second
• 24:52
  That's all he can advance the ball got stuck underneath the grandstand and a throwing error is charged
• 24:59
  To the pitcher on the pickoff play Kubiak moves to second as Moose threw badly to first base
• 25:08
  These are the kind of signs that show up when teams are jittery
• 25:15
  Plays they don't make not saying the Pirates are jittery but some of the signs are there
• 25:23
  Gibson could drive home a run now the pitch swings and bounces it to short cut off by cash
• 25:29
  He throws to first for the out
• 25:37
  Gibson is out five three to hand the Cardinal first five runs five hits one error one left
• 25:46
  Gibson goes to the mound and the Cardinals lead five nothing
• 25:52

  Gibson delivers and pumps one down the middle for a called strike one two and one
• 27:56
  Two balls and a strike to Dave Cash
• 28:01
  You know the wind up the cardinal right hander fires and a foul out of play back to the right two and two
• 28:09
  And our best wishes to the Cardinal Football Club
• 28:14
  Another new coach Bob Hallways he makes his debut tonight ball three to cash three and two of the pitch was high inside
• 28:27
  There's a line drive into right field Hague is right there comes in as one of the three to pitch and
• 28:33
  Gibson working with his usual rapidity brought it home cash fly to right there's one out the batter is Davalio
• 28:43
  Former Cardinal longtime American Laker Davalio is batting 286 with one home run
• 28:50
  Clever little hitter this guy moves the ball around they play him to pull
• 28:57
  Franco Siak coaching a third for Pittsburgh and Don Leppard at first
• 29:04
  The pitch on the way Davalio takes it low for a ball
• 29:10
  Simmons the catcher and then field of Torrey Maxville Kubiak and Alou
• 29:19
  Ball outside ball to Gibson's been behind the first two hitters here he came back and got cash
• 29:26
  He's two and two and on Davalio with Al Oliver in the on deck circle
• 29:33
  Stewart called two and one Davalio taking all the way and that's a problem of being behind by five
• 29:43
  Gibson fires stir right to two and two another called strike two balls two strikes
• 29:57
  Outfield to the right the pitch is made and a fly ball to center cruises their two out
• 30:07
  Bob Gibson after being defeated the other evening
• 30:13
  That was the Monday night game against the Dodgers was really crushed
• 30:17
  I mean he was crushed he's a fellow doesn't show his feelings much but that defeat really hurt him
• 30:25
  And when the Cardinals won these first two in Pittsburgh he said I better crank myself up a pretty good ballgame
• 30:30
  Had not the pitch to Al Oliver inside ball one Oliver usually hits Gibson quite well
• 30:36
  Remember some game winning blows that the pirate outfielder has delivered against the Cardinal pitcher
• 30:44
  He has power to left center field Oliver batting 274 with six homers
• 30:49
  Gibson has retired the first two there's a fly ball to left
• 30:53
  Each outfielder will handle a ball Sizemore had trouble but made the catch he didn't see that ball right away
• 31:00
  Hey got one Cruz caught one Sizemore caught one at the end of one the Cardinals lead five to nothing
• 31:09
  Ice cold Bush, Bush does it like no other beer
• 31:13
  Hey Barney come here give me one of your ice cold beers
• 31:16
  Not ice cold beer ice cold Bush
• 31:22
  Best thing that ever happened with thirst almost sells itself you know I just go along for the walk
• 31:27
  You're quite a promoter Barney
• 31:29
  Oh no a promoter is a guy who will furnish the ocean if you'll buy the ships
• 31:34
  Now me I render my thirsty fans a service
• 31:36
  Right with the best beer in the ballpark
• 31:39
  I'm almost a public servant you might say
• 31:41
  I do say I can't imagine a ballgame without you Barney without beer
• 31:46
  Without Bush you mean there's as much difference as between lightning and a lightning bug
• 31:51
  Go get them tiger you got a lot of thirsty people waiting for you
• 31:54
  Tell the game good Jim I'll see you later
• 31:57
  Ice cold Bush, Bush does it like no other beer
• 32:02
  Barney the Bush man say hi next time you see him
• 32:08
  We go on to the second inning the Cardinals lead five nothing sent nine men to the plate in the first
• 32:13
  As they routed Bob Johnson and they're hitting against Bob Moose with Manny Allu leading off
• 32:20
  Manny walked to start the first inning merry-go-round faces Moose for the first time
• 32:26
  The pitch is made and it's a ball outside Moose pitching for the Bucks
• 32:36
  The division leading Pirates here's the pitch to Manny and it's a strike call at the letter as he looks back at the umpire
• 32:43
  It's one and one it'll be a loose Sizemore and Cruz here in the second
• 32:51
  Next pitch Brown foul rip past first base down into the corner that makes it one and two
• 32:59
  Benson is coaching at third for the Cardinals with Ken Boyer at first
• 33:04
  Pirates are playing Hernandez it's short again tonight with Gene Alley limping a bit on a bad knee
• 33:14
  Allu to just missed with that one two and two Allu acted like he thought he was struck out
• 33:22
  The Pirates were ready to throw that ball around two and two the count
• 33:26
  Giants won their ballgame today we'll tell you about it in a moment the pitch now is called out on strikes Moose gets him
• 33:36
  Moose gets his second strikeout
• 33:39
  There was a slider that stayed on the inside corner as Allu pulled back one out in the batter's Sizemore
• 33:46
  Like to see the Cardinals mount another attack because you never have too many runs here's the pitch to Ted
• 33:54
  Sizemore hits one a diving try by the third baseman he can't get it and Sizemore has another hit
• 34:00
  Sizemore singles with one man out that ball was in on the third base
• 34:05
  Moose gets his second strikeout
• 34:07
  Sizemore hits one a diving try by the third baseman he can't get it and Sizemore has another hit Sizemore singles with one man out that ball was in on him and he got around in the ball
• 34:18
  He's now hit safely in nine straight ballgames
• 34:25
  Batters Jose Cruz
• 34:27
  Cardinals came here with a four game losing streak riding
• 34:36
  Two against the Dodgers two against the Braves they could have won some of those games everybody on the ball club has agreed but that's history
• 34:45
  The pitch to Cruz swing and a miss he was going for the long ball
• 34:49
  Not just because he missed the last ball Jack but somehow Cash doesn't look comfortable at third base to me with these moves and everything
• 34:56
  He's an outstanding young second baseman but it's not that easy to move from position to position
• 35:02
  A ball in the dirt to Cruz blocked by Milton May the catcher and it's one and one
• 35:07
  That ball was hit to his left
• 35:12
  Talking about the base hit by Sizemore passed Cash went off his glove
• 35:18
  Throw to first the runner back
• 35:20
  Some infielders who can cover ground don't have that initial quickness that you need at certain positions
• 35:28
  Another throw to first and Sizemore is back again Cruz single his first time up on a ball that Cash couldn't handle a pop fly into short left
• 35:39
  Moose checks the runner
• 35:41
  Fires to the plate Cruz fouled it back and had his best cut one ball two strikes
• 35:50
  Jose had a good rip at that one but just couldn't handle it one ball two strikes five to nothing the Cardinals lead here in the second
• 35:57
  Gibson set the pirates down in order in the first
• 36:02
  Redbirds batting in the second Sizemore at first one out Cruz at the plate and Torrey up next
• 36:09
  Throw to first nothing doing
• 36:19
  Lead by the runner the pitch swing and a high fly ball to deep center field way back on the track Oliver way back he's got it
• 36:28
  Four hundred and ten feet away
• 36:30
  Back to first Sizemore and he had to hustle to get back that ball just kept going and going and going and Oliver could have gone no further
• 36:40
  He was back to the wall alright if Cruz pulls that ball even a little bit little more over toward the power alley instead of straight away
• 36:47
  This score is seven nothing in a hurry
• 36:49
  He really hit that ball hard but almost straight away into center field must have gone about four hundred and five feet the batters Torrey single and runners first time
• 37:02
  Takes a strike call a good fastball from Moose up and in in the strike zone strike one
• 37:10
  Five to nothing here in the second for the Cardinals Sizemore at first two out
• 37:14
  Torrey swings and fouls it back and two quick strikes on Joe
• 37:22
  Then Becker in the Cubs play at Cincinnati tonight Torrey started the day at three fifty five one point ahead of Becker who was over for last night
• 37:33
  Moose delivers with the runner going in a fly ball base hit in the right field Sizemore around second heads for third and he's got it
• 37:42
  Sizemore around second heads for third Dabalio comes up with the ball they hold the runners at first and third
• 37:49
  Torrey gets his second hit a line single into the right field corner and Dabalio did another good job of outfielding
• 37:56
  Sure does he gets over that corner pretty well but been around a while but he's still got that fine speed and a sense of where the ball is going to go
• 38:04
  Sizemore I think when he left the bag I think he was surprised when Benson threw the stop sign up at him
• 38:09
  The relay was perfectly handled however and there was no chance for Sizemore to come home on that long single by Torrey
• 38:18
  It's up to Simmons with two men out the Cardinals with a chance to score against Bob Moose Torrey is two for two
• 38:28
  Simmons single his first time up drove in a run and he could hurt the Pirates again
• 38:35
  The pitch swing and a bouncer to second a big hop to Mazurowski throws close out
• 38:42
  Mazurowski had to wait for a big hop and then he got Simmons five out of step and the Cardinals lead two
• 38:51
  No runs two hits there were no errors and two men left the Cardinals have left three
• 38:57
  The Pirates come to bat in their second the Cardinals lead five to nothing
• 39:01
  Nice and cold foot, Bush does it like no other man
• 39:06
  Hiya Barney
• 39:07
  Hi Jack
• 39:08
  Give me a bush to sit down for a while
• 39:09
  Oh here's stay long Jack gotta push the bush
• 39:11
  Those pretty girls out there make walking a pleasure
• 39:14
  Better not let Mrs. Barney hear that she's quite pretty herself
• 39:17
  And that's odd too because she's got a sister who's really ugly
• 39:20
  A dog huh?
• 39:21
  We used to figure she put her face up in curlers enough wrinkles to store a three day rain
• 39:27
  Every time she raised her eyebrows pulled up her stockings
• 39:31
  I'm sure it did
• 39:32
  Told a policeman once there's a man following me and I'm afraid he's crazy
• 39:36
  Cop took one look and said lady he's gotta be
• 39:39
  Bet you're glad it didn't run in the family
• 39:41
  Oh my yes I don't know what I'd do if they were like this Bush here
• 39:44
  Like Bush?
• 39:45
  Well you know every bottle is same
• 39:47
  John Tory has raised his batting average a couple of points to 357
• 39:52
  During the Pirates second Willie Stardew leads off and it's always nice to pitch to this big guy with the bases empty
• 39:58
  Stardew hitting 304 with 39 home runs
• 40:03
  Strike called Gibson drilled one across at the knees
• 40:09
  Stardew has driven in 101 runs
• 40:13
  There's a foul out of play and that's strike two
• 40:18
  Stardew didn't play last night
• 40:20
  Steve Carleton handled him beautifully the other evening
• 40:24
  Stardew sat it out against Royce
• 40:27
  Gibson fires and it's up and in
• 40:30
  Ball in
• 40:31
  Bob set Pittsburgh down in order in the first
• 40:34
  On three fly balls he's working rapidly
• 40:38
  Fire strike called
• 40:41
  He let it up and he got him
• 40:46
  First strike out for Gibson
• 40:49
  The batter is Milton May
• 40:59
  Gibson working with a five run lead
• 41:01
  Has retired four in a row
• 41:03
  May is a left handed batter hitting 243
• 41:06
  He has power he's hit four home runs
• 41:08
  He swings and misses chased a bad ball up and in
• 41:12
  I think his first major league run batted in was against Bob Gibson in the ball game last year
• 41:18
  It's from Gary Indiana
• 41:21
  Swings and fouls at back that's strike two
• 41:25
  Fan made a good play on the ball
• 41:30
  May is a six footer 175 a fine catching prospect
• 41:36
  The pitch on the way to him and a change up and he swings and strikes out but he'll go to first as
• 41:42
  Simmons couldn't handle the ball in the dirt
• 41:46
  The ball went back to the screen
• 41:49
  It's a strike out and a wild pitch
• 41:52
  Gibson is credited with a second strike out but a wild pitch
• 41:57
  Puts Milton May at first with one out
• 42:04
  So if Gibby gets a bad break there as Simmons was unable to
• 42:08
  Prevent the ball from going back to the screen
• 42:14
  Bob Robertson the batter is hitting 268 right handed hitter takes a ball gets away the runner does not advance
• 42:22
  In the way Simmons is struggling behind the plate
• 42:26
  You suspect that Gibson has a good breaking ball he goes out to talk with the pitcher
• 42:36
  Robertson is the second leading home run hitter on the Pirate Ball Club
• 42:42
  He's blasted 23
• 42:44
  The outfield deep to the left for him
• 42:48
  May at first one out the pitch swing and a foul and he had a home run cut it came back to the screen
• 43:01
  Two strike outs in the setting for Gibson but there's a runner at first with one out
• 43:08
  Robertson swinging late missed it one and two
• 43:12
  Gibson's fastball appears to be a good one
• 43:19
  Robertson looked over into the Cardinal dugout for some reason
• 43:23
  One ball two strikes to count
• 43:26
  The pitch struck him out with a good low breaking ball and that's three strike outs in a row for Gibson
• 43:33
  Now the runners at first with two out
• 43:36
  The batter is Mazurowski
• 43:38
  There was a guy strike out four and one hit
• 43:41
  It could happen
• 43:43
  Mazurowski playing second base tonight hitting 262
• 43:52
  First pitch to him
• 43:54
  A fly ball behind first foul ball a play for Alou he's got it
• 43:59
  Mazurowski fouled out the Pirates do nothing in the second they put a runner on and leave him on
• 44:07
  No runs no hits no errors a wild pitch one left at the end of two the Cardinals five Pittsburgh nothing
• 44:17
  Sure is warm today
• 44:19
  Yes ma'am that'll be ten cents total please
• 44:21
  I got it here somewhere in my purse
• 44:24
  Oh my the car stalled again
• 44:27
  Come on car not here please
• 44:30
  That's ten cents ma'am and you'll have to move your car
• 44:33
  How can I move it when it won't listen to me
• 44:36
  Now there's a solution to help prevent summer stalling new STP keep cool radiator treatment
• 44:42
  STP keep cool helps take the heat off your engine
• 44:45
  Oh Andy it seems like only yesterday that Billy was just a baby
• 44:49
  And now he's ready for his driver's test
• 44:51
  Billy sure you remember the rules
• 44:53
  Sure Mr. Granatelli I drive to the service station for STP oil treatment
• 44:57
  I'll tell the driving examiner that STP is especially important in hot summer driving
• 45:02
  Because it protects and lubricates better than ordinary motor oil alone
• 45:05
  Did you learn that in driver's education class
• 45:08
  No ma'am by living next door to the Granatellis
• 45:10
  STP is the racers' edge
• 45:16
  We're going to the third inning here the Cardinals lead 5-0
• 45:19
  And here for the play-by-play of the ball game is Jim Woods
• 45:23
  Thank you very much Jack and Joe Hague who struck the big blow in the first inning
• 45:27
  The Cardinals looking at Moose's first pitch
• 45:29
  It's over the outside corner for a call strike 0-1
• 45:32
  Hague popped his 11th home run of the year
• 45:36
  His first in quite a while but he picked a great spot for it I'll tell you that
• 45:40
  Off-speed pitch by Bob Moose and it's a ball and a strike
• 45:45
  Moose has not been the big winner that they hoped he would be this year
• 45:52
  Ball outside two balls and a strike
• 45:56
  He's pitched a no-hitter in the majors threw it against the Mets
• 46:00
  Three years ago at Shea Stadium
• 46:04
  2-1 pitch coming from Moose and a swing by Hague and a miss strike too to enter the count
• 46:12
  Been seven hits in the ball game and the Cardinals have all of them
• 46:18
  They ride high, wide and handsome here in game three but a long ways to go
• 46:26
  Ball two is just a little low
• 46:31
  Scoreboard for ball three rather, three and two
• 46:34
  Not on and out
• 46:37
  Kubiak will be next and then Maxwell
• 46:42
  Pay off pitch from Bob Moose, swing on and miss strike three
• 46:46
  Moose gets his third strike out
• 46:48
  Puts one away and brings up Kubiak
• 46:51
  If you're looking at this game from a pirate viewpoint it might be valuable for them to be able to bring a fellow like Bob Moose through in this game
• 46:58
  Although he has given up three hits in the time that he has worked
• 47:02
  The time to get back into the pitching rotation almost seems to be a must for Pittsburgh
• 47:08
  I would think perhaps if he would work around, here's Kubiak waiting for the first pitch
• 47:13
  Sends a high fly ball out toward rather deep right but D'Avilio is on the move and he gets to it and he has it to the eye
• 47:21
  I think maybe he might replace Johnson in the pitching rotation because Johnson has got to be a disappointment
• 47:27
  He gets to get him from the Kansas City club, gave up Freddy Patek and a good catcher in Jerry May and a pretty fair hurler in Bruce Dalkanton
• 47:36
  And he's just not lived up to expectations
• 47:39
  Two men out, here's Maxwell, Maxey strike out victim his first time up
• 47:44
  Facing Moose
• 47:46
  Sends the foul back out of play
• 47:49
  Way, way into the upper deck
• 47:52
  Cubs have gone out ahead of the Reds now, 3-1 at the end of two and one half innings
• 47:59
  Houston and Atlanta play later, Montreal and LA later
• 48:04
  Maxwell takes a ball down low, Phil's in San Diego not scheduled tonight
• 48:10
  Minnesota drove the Tigers today, 9-4
• 48:14
  Oakland beat the Yankees 1-0
• 48:17
  The ball hit down to Mazurowski
• 48:19
  The Golden Glove is up and on the first, that retires the side
• 48:23
  No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left
• 48:26
  We go to the bottom of the third and it's 5-0 St. Louis
• 48:29
  Music
• 48:58
  The good times don't come easy
• 49:02
  Those times when a man can sit down with his fear and get back into things
• 49:07
  Bush makes the best of times like these because the mellow flavor of Bush
• 49:11
  Goes along with the good times without getting in the way
• 49:15
  With a long day behind you and pleasure on your mind
• 49:19
  Bush does it like no other be
• 49:22
  Visit our St. Louis brewery and we will prove it
• 49:26
  Music
• 49:31
  Jackie Hernandez playing a shortstop tonight in place of the Aileen Jean Alley
• 49:35
  Leads it off here, he's at 2-12, three home runs, 13 batted in
• 49:39
  Gibson moves the strike right by him, 0-1 the count
• 49:43
  Mr. Gibson has the plate pretty well zeroed in as he usually does
• 49:50
  Swing and a miss by Hernandez and 0-2
• 50:02
  A ball outside, a moving pitch that was outside, a little low, one ball, two strikes
• 50:08
  Pirates have had the one baserunner on the strikeout wild pitch
• 50:12
  And the delivery is ball two outside, 2-2 the count
• 50:18
  Frank Osiak the coach at third, Don Leppard at first
• 50:26
  Old Missouri and Bill Burton, Murtagh's first lieutenant
• 50:31
  Possibly the heir apparent if Danny steps down after this year because of health reasons, there's ball three
• 50:37
  Has not made any appearance on the field during this entire series
• 50:41
  Full count three and two, Gibson got ahead of Hernandez and now has got him out to the full count
• 50:47
  Here's the payoff pitch, he walked him, for Gibson lost Hernandez
• 50:54
  And Bob Moose will bat for himself
• 50:58
  Another great hitting pitcher, but he's going to base hit every now and then
• 51:01
  He's been up 33 times, he's had four hits
• 51:12
  Moose bounce here in the number nine spot, Alou laying in behind Hernandez and Moose fouls off the first pitch for a strike, 0-1
• 51:22
  Cardinals with a five run out burst, driving Bob Johnson out in the first inning
• 51:27
  Lead five nothing, Moose another foul straight back, 0-2 the count
• 51:33
  Gibby has another 0-2 count on his second hitter in a row
• 51:40
  He works in a hurry and Moose swings and misses strike three
• 51:44
  That is Gibson's fourth strikeout
• 51:47
  Puts one away and the top of the order comes up now, Dave Cash
• 51:50
  Flied out to Hague in his first effort
• 51:56
  We won't be back until the 27th of August
• 52:02
  The Cincinnati Reds will be there
• 52:04
  We'll be playing the Reds, the Mets, and the Cubs in the homestand coming up
• 52:12
  Fly ball rather deep right field, drifting back goes Hague, getting a beat on it and he makes the catch
• 52:18
  Two men out and Hernandez returns to first and we'll pause for station identification on the Cardinals baseball network
• 52:38
  Vic Devalio bats now, fly ball to Cruz, what happened to him the first time up?
• 52:44
  Little Vic who did the tremendous pinch hitting job for the Cardinals in the year of 1970
• 52:51
  Been a fine player for the Pirates, big swing and a miss, 0-1
• 52:56
  Came over here in the Mattie Alou deal
• 53:01
  He really chased a bad ball that time, it was way up and in
• 53:06
  Hernandez long lead, Devalio takes over low, ball one, one and one the count
• 53:15
  End of three and a half, Cubs three, Reds one, fine Pappas
• 53:22
  Gibson ready to pitch, jumped off the mound, Hernandez returns to first and Devalio gets out of the batter's box in a hurry
• 53:28
  Two men out here in the third inning
• 53:30
  Pirates are still looking for their first hit
• 53:33
  Foul out of play, one ball two strikes
• 53:41
  Big day here tomorrow, ball day of Pirate Father and Son game
• 53:48
  And a sellout crowd expected, there's a tap out to Maxwell, he's up with it, goes on to second just in time for the force out of Hernandez to retire the side
• 53:58
  No runs, no hits, no errors, one left, the end of three innings, five nothing St. Louis
• 54:03
  I'm sitting here thinking, trying to decide If I should go back to the town and the things I've left behind
• 54:30
  You can spend so much time trying to get ahead that you forget where you really are
• 54:39
  Take time to get back to the good and natural things of life and do it with a cold bush
• 54:45
  The good flavor of bush comes from the finest natural ingredients brewed the old world way
• 54:51
  Nothing artificial added, nothing changed, for a beer that does it like no other, naturally
• 54:59
  Bob Gibson just now striding out of the Cardinal dugout to come up and take his wax
• 55:09
  Bounced out to third in his first effort
• 55:12
  Facing Bob Moose who is all in relief for Bob Johnson who gave up all the Cardinal runs in the first inning
• 55:18
  And Gibson takes the ball, it is just outside, one ball no strikes
• 55:25
  Moose brings it in, took a little bit off of it and Gibson didn't get it, one ball, one strike
• 55:35
  Outside of the first inning this ball game has moved right along
• 55:40
  Usually does when Mr. Gibson goes about his business out there
• 55:47
  Swings again, he didn't get it, one ball, two strikes
• 55:53
  Bob's batting just under 200
• 55:58
  Not been his most productive year with the bat and he's had some good ones
• 56:05
  He swings, a delayed swing and a delayed call on the part of Wendelstadt and it's a strikeout
• 56:12
  So that is four strikeouts for Moose
• 56:16
  One out, top of the order up, Maddie Lou walked and struck out
• 56:27
  Lou Brock's hand still causing him quite a problem and it's just a day to day thing when Lou is going to be back in left field and leading off
• 56:36
  Moose throws a curve, it got Lou right down the middle, no balls and a strike
• 56:45
  Little bit low, one and one to count
• 56:51
  Fine as this new stadium is, they have problems around there, they have bottlenecks, they have a big crowd or even a small crowd
• 57:00
  There's only two ways to get in and out of this place
• 57:03
  And you should see the traffic pile up around here after a ball game
• 57:07
  No longer a smoke problem in the city as there was many, many years ago but the Mellon family spent I don't know how many millions of dollars to do away with that
• 57:17
  Moose delivers, fly ball, center field, back goes Oliver, in position, waiting and has it
• 57:25
  Two men out for the Cardinals in the fourth inning and Sizemore who is lined out and singled as the batter
• 57:36
  Ted's been doing a good job in left field filling in for Brock
• 57:41
  He hasn't been the most graceful outfielder going after one or two balls in out there but he's gotten the job done and that's what they pay off on
• 57:50
  Fast strike for Moose, outside corner, knee high, one and one to count
• 57:59
  Cash, a deep third base, eight feet off the line, here's Sizemore drilling one down the short, hops up Fernandez, the throw, that's it
• 58:08
  No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left
• 58:11
  We move into the last half of the fourth inning, St. Louis five, pirates nothing
• 58:16
  Andy Granatelli, it's three in the morning, you still writing commercials?
• 58:21
  It's tough going darling, how can we change the STP approach for summer?
• 58:25
  Why should we? STP oil treatment still helps cars engines run smoother, cooler, quieter, longer
• 58:31
  And with all the extra summer driving, people really need the extra protection of STP
• 58:36
  What are you writing?
• 58:38
  Just keep talking darling, keep talking
• 58:40
  STP is a racer's engine
• 58:46
  Leaning off here in the last half of the fourth inning, Al Oliver stands in
• 58:50
  He's skied one out in mid left field, it's first time up
• 58:54
  And he'll see what he can do with Gibson
• 58:57
  Pirates looking for their first hit, a strike call to the knees, one and one to count
• 59:04
  In Atlanta, Cook goes for Houston, Pat Jarvis for the Atlanta Braves
• 59:10
  Ball down low, one and one to count
• 59:15
  Giants one in extra inning over the melt, six to five, there's a ball bounced in behind Don Leppard at first base foul, one ball, two strikes
• 59:23
  Oliver, Stargell and Milt May
• 59:33
  Here's Gibson with rapidity working again, there's a little flipper out behind second base, Maxwell runs back, he's got it
• 59:39
  Oliver hit that ball on the fifths, and I mean Gibson really sawed him off
• 59:46
  Oh what a way, here's Stargell, took a call, third strike, and he gets a big hand every time he comes up
• 59:57
  Willie is so well liked around this town
• 1:00:00
  Ball down into the dirt, one ball, no strikes
• 1:00:03
  Does a lot of work with children
• 1:00:06
  Also has the chicken business here
• 1:00:14
  Hails from the Compton, California area, where so many fine athletes came from
• 1:00:19
  Inside to Stargell, two balls, no strikes
• 1:00:27
  One man out here and nobody on, with the Redbirds in front, five nothing, trying to make it three in a row, there's ball three to Stargell
• 1:00:36
  Gibson, behind on the count, three and nothing
• 1:00:42
  Fires in the next, Stargell went after it, he bangs it foul, he had the green light, five runs behind
• 1:00:48
  Had the green light on a three nothing pitch, Myrtol let him go
• 1:00:55
  Hoping I guess he could pop one out of here and try to get a little inspiration going on the part of the Pirates who just not hit at all
• 1:01:03
  Ball four, way up high
• 1:01:09
  Second walk given up by Gibson, puts the runner at first, brings up Milton May who struck out but reached first base
• 1:01:15
  When what was ruled a wild pitch got past Simmons
• 1:01:23
  Pirates have lost 13 out of their last 16
• 1:01:27
  Gibson getting adjusted and waiting for the young left hand hitting catcher
• 1:01:32
  To get fixed at the plate, and he jammed him, no foul, tip they say now, strike
• 1:01:38
  Pitch was way inside and just barely kicked the bat, and it's all in one
• 1:01:50
  The old Cardinal Nellie Briles is up and throwing in the Pirate bullpen, Milton May takes the ball down low, one and one
• 1:02:02
  Had one run now in 21 innings since the Cardinals have been in town, high pop up left field
• 1:02:09
  Sizemore goes drifting over toward left center, weaves around, got it
• 1:02:16
  Sizemore likes to run to the spot, gets a pretty good beat on the ball, runs to the spot and then he looks for it
• 1:02:23
  Two men out to Bob Robertson, struck out his first time up
• 1:02:28
  Starjol the runner at first, two away, and Gibson and the Cardinals leading 5-0 in the fourth
• 1:02:41
  Fastball, strike call to the letters of the big muscle man from Mount Savage, Maryland
• 1:02:50
  Talk about some of the strong men of the game, this guy ranks right up there with them
• 1:02:55
  Check swing, a foul, strike, and it's all in two, he did not get a cut that time
• 1:03:05
  Briles has warmed up a couple of times, we're hoping that they can get something started here and get down into the bottom end of their batting order
• 1:03:13
  Where he'd be forced to hit for Moose, but Mr. Gibson is not about to let that happen it would seem
• 1:03:20
  Two strikes on Robertson, and the pitch foul, back out of play, he had a cut that time
• 1:03:27
  0-2
• 1:03:32
  Gibson has given up two walks and one runner reached on the wild pitch and that's all the Pirates have had so far tonight
• 1:03:39
  Through the first three and two-thirds innings
• 1:03:42
  Gibson brings it in, wide of the mark, one and two the count
• 1:03:54
  Bob Robertson pounds the plate, Gibson gets quickly ready, sends it in and strikes Robinson out again
• 1:04:01
  Robertson took a big healthy cut, got nothing, and Gibson has five strikeouts in the book
• 1:04:06
  No runs, no hits, no errors, one left, the end of four innings, Cardinals five, Pirates nothing
• 1:04:13
  0-2
• 1:04:34
  Wherever it's going, part of you goes too, heading for open spaces and places you've never seen
• 1:04:48
  Bush goes there too, travels to the best bobbin hops wherever they're grown, brings them back and brews them slowly into a full mellow beer
• 1:05:03
  Only the best for Bush, because Bush does it like no other beer
• 1:05:13
  Fifth inning now, the Cardinals have out hit the Pirates, seven to nothing, lead in the ballgame five to nothing
• 1:05:20
  with Jose Cruz leading off against Bob Moose who has pitched scoreless baseball over three and two-third innings
• 1:05:28
  Moose has registered four strikeouts since we're leaving Bob Johnson
• 1:05:33
  He's a hard-throwing right-hander and he pitches to Cruz who is singled and lined out very deep to center field
• 1:05:39
  Left-handed batter in the first pitch, strike called, he kept it away, caught the corner, strike one
• 1:05:48
  Cubs lead Cincinnati three to one in the bottom of the fifth at Cincinnati
• 1:05:53
  Fly ball fouled out of the left field corner by Cruz, nice catch mister
• 1:06:00
  Philadelphia and San Diego have the day off because of a San Diego football game, Giants beat the Mets today six to five
• 1:06:09
  Houston and Atlanta later, Montreal and Los Angeles later, and that's the National League
• 1:06:16
  With a count of own two, Cruz grounds one hard to second, Maseroski has it, throws him out, Cruz hustling all the way, was up by a step
• 1:06:27
  As he was retired by Maseroski, one, four, seven, eight in a row retired by Bob Moose
• 1:06:38
  Cardinals lead five nothing and here's Joe Torre who drove in the first run of the ballgame
• 1:06:44
  He has two singles and he's batting three fifty eight so he's picked up three points tonight
• 1:06:50
  Leading the league again, swings and misses the breaking ball, he got a base hit against Johnson, he's singled against Moose
• 1:07:03
  The right-hander pitches, misses, low outside, one and one
• 1:07:13
  Outfield playing Torre to pull the ball, he leans back from ball two inside, two and one
• 1:07:20
  Torre is a fearless hitter at the plate, they move him off the plate, they hit him with pitches, they don't move him away
• 1:07:31
  Two balls and a strike to count
• 1:07:35
  And the pitch on the way, low outside, ball three, three and one
• 1:07:43
  With Ted Simmons the next batter
• 1:07:47
  We're in the Cardinal fifth and the Cardinals lead five nothing
• 1:07:50
  We play the Pirates again tomorrow afternoon, Reggie Cleveland against Bruce Keeson
• 1:07:56
  Torre takes a strike, a breaking ball
• 1:08:00
  The ballgame here starts at one thirty five local time
• 1:08:05
  Our dugout broadcast time tomorrow, St. Louis time will be twelve twenty and twelve thirty for the ballgame
• 1:08:13
  If the Cardinals can win this one they'll be going for the sweep
• 1:08:17
  Three two pitch to Torre, swing and a foul, rolling back into the Cardinal dugout
• 1:08:25
  Cardinal scored five in the first, that's all the scoring in this game to this point
• 1:08:39
  Bob Moose pitching to Joe Torre, swings and a base hit to left and he's three for three
• 1:08:47
  That ball was up and in and Torre ripped it into left field
• 1:08:51
  He is three for three in the ballgame tonight
• 1:08:56
  And all three of his hits have been screamers
• 1:08:59
  One a hard hit ground ball through the right side
• 1:09:04
  The other a line drive single into right, this one he pulled into left
• 1:09:08
  The batter is Simmons, Ted has won for two
• 1:09:17
  Drove in a run with a first inning single and then against Bob Moose he grounded out, he's up there batting left handed
• 1:09:22
  The pitch, swing and a line drive into left and the left fielder coming hard, Stardell he fumbled the ball
• 1:09:29
  Torre rounds second and heads for third, Simmons going for second, they're both safe
• 1:09:35
  It's a double, Stardell came hard in left field and he's a pretty good outfielder
• 1:09:43
  He almost caught the ball at shoot-top level, it popped out of his glove, rolled behind him
• 1:09:48
  And Torre scooted on to third and Simmons went down to second base with his second hit of the night
• 1:09:54
  The batter is Haig and they might put him on
• 1:10:00
  They'll walk Haig and load the bases
• 1:10:05
  An intentional walk is being affected to Joe Haig
• 1:10:10
  It's the first pass issued by Bob Moose
• 1:10:14
  Cardinals with a chance to score their first runs off of this fellow will have the bases loaded one out
• 1:10:19
  And Ted Kubiak up there batting left handed, nothing doing in the pirate bullpen
• 1:10:24
  Haig hit a three run homer in the first and then struck out in the third
• 1:10:30
  There's ball four, Joe's three run homer in the first inning
• 1:10:35
  Made it five to nothing, was his eleventh homerun of the year giving him 37 runs batted in
• 1:10:41
  Kubiak couldn't help the Redbirds here, he got a base hit in the first
• 1:10:49
  Was a wasted single as it turned out then hit the ball deep to right, so he's one for two
• 1:10:57
  Pirates looking for the double play and they have one of the great pivot men ever
• 1:11:03
  Down at second base and the person of Maserowski
• 1:11:06
  Robertson is playing in at first even with the bag, that's surprising
• 1:11:11
  Swing and a smash, pissed him down into the right field corner, one run score, two runs score
• 1:11:16
  Haig goes out of third base, they bring him around and now they hold him up
• 1:11:20
  He tries to get back to third and he does and it's seven to nothing
• 1:11:26
  Why Robertson was playing where he was playing I do not know
• 1:11:32
  He was playing even with the bag at first and Kubiak doubled to his left
• 1:11:39
  Robertson's left, down into the corner, driving in two, making it seven to nothing
• 1:11:45
  Kubiak's second hit of the night, a two run double
• 1:11:50
  And the runners are on at second and third with one out and Maxfield is up, he's 0 for 2 and the infield is in
• 1:11:58
  Robertson and the others are playing up and there's a ball to Maxfield, ball one
• 1:12:03
  Now Max he doesn't have to extend himself to the point of swinging a bad ball
• 1:12:09
  Because the pitcher is coming up next because the next batter is Gibson and he can help himself
• 1:12:14
  It's seven to nothing, second and third, one out and a ball a little bit high, ball two
• 1:12:19
  They walked Haig but they lost Kubiak
• 1:12:23
  Nelson Brails is warming up in the pirate bullpen
• 1:12:27
  Now they're going to walk Maxfield and pitch to Gibson with the bases loaded
• 1:12:34
  When the bases were loaded and Kubiak at the plate, the pirates looking for the double play
• 1:12:40
  They had Robertson, or he did it on his own, playing exactly parallel with the first base bag
• 1:12:49
  He had no chance to get the ball, it was hit to his left, had he been deeper he might have flagged it down
• 1:12:54
  And he's a right handed thrower with a glove on that side and things like that make a difference
• 1:13:01
  Bases loaded, one out, Gibson at the plate, the Cardinals leading seven to nothing, Gibson is 0 for 2
• 1:13:08
  Wants a fly ball if he can get it
• 1:13:12
  Here is the pitch to Bob Gibson, swing and a fly ball to right, that'll get a run home
• 1:13:17
  Both runners tag up, D'Avilio makes the catch, here comes Haig and he scores
• 1:13:23
  Maxfield the second, he's safe
• 1:13:26
  Everybody advanced on the fly ball by Gibson making it 8 to nothing
• 1:13:32
  And Maxfield had to do that belly flopper again on those sore ribs on his second base
• 1:13:40
  Gibson's sacrifice fly makes it 8 to nothing
• 1:13:45
  His fly ball to right field
• 1:13:47
  Now they're going to walk Helleu
• 1:13:51
  Will be the third intentional walk of the inning, will load the bases again and they'll pitch to Sizemore
• 1:13:57
  Helleu is being walked
• 1:14:06
  The bases will be loaded with two men out
• 1:14:09
  Helleu is cleaning his fingernails while Moose walks in
• 1:14:16
  Just standing there
• 1:14:20
  There's ball four, Sizemore up with the bases loaded, it's been a three run inning and the Cardinals lead 8 to nothing
• 1:14:27
  They have Kubiak out at third, Maxfield down at second base
• 1:14:33
  And Sizemore is up, he's 1 for 3
• 1:14:38
  Gibson and the Cardinals now have an 8 to nothing lead
• 1:14:43
  Sizemore can add to the lead, he's the ninth man to bat in the inning
• 1:14:51
  Moose goes into a full windup and delivers to Ted Sizemore and it's high, ball one
• 1:15:01
  Two run double in this inning by Kubiak, a big blow
• 1:15:05
  After base hits by Torian Simmons with one man out
• 1:15:09
  Next pitch to Sizemore with the bases loaded, a fly ball to right, should end the inning
• 1:15:14
  Everybody running with two men out, Dabali onto the ball
• 1:15:17
  He has it and the Cardinals score three
• 1:15:20
  Sizemore flying to right, he's 1 for 4
• 1:15:23
  The Cardinals score three times on three hits
• 1:15:28
  No errors, three left, they have stranded six
• 1:15:33
  They go into the bottom of the fifth inning, Gibby and the Cardinals lead 8 to nothing
• 1:15:38
  Going to the Pirate fifth inning, Nelson Brials continues to throw in their bullpen
• 1:15:43
  For the pitcher is due to bat
• 1:15:47
  Here in the fifth, the batter is Mazarski, he is looking for his 2000th major league hit
• 1:15:54
  He swings and misses, the first pitch was a strike call, this one's strike two
• 1:16:00
  Now Bob Veale joins Brials in the bullpen
• 1:16:03
  There's a ground ball, back to Gibson on one hop, Gibby flips it to Alou, one hop
• 1:16:10
  Pirates have no hits in the game
• 1:16:16
  The batter is Jackie Hernandez, the right handed hitting shortstop from Panama
• 1:16:21
  He walked his first time, was left out
• 1:16:25
  Pirates have had three baserunners, two on walks and the other on a missed third strike
• 1:16:31
  Hernandez takes the ball way outside
• 1:16:37
  The score is 8 to nothing, Cardinals
• 1:16:45
  Charlie Sands, a catcher, is on deck for Pittsburgh to pinch hit
• 1:16:52
  Hernandez takes the strike to even the count of one and one
• 1:16:56
  The Cardinals have made eight runs on ten hits
• 1:17:02
  Stewart called a Gibson fastball and Hernandez took it, he's in the hole one and two
• 1:17:12
  Bob started to work again, stopped, pumps once more and fires and it's low
• 1:17:19
  Two balls, two strikes
• 1:17:24
  Gibson slows it down a little bit, turns around, checks the outfield, they're around to the right for Hernandez
• 1:17:29
  This fella has some power
• 1:17:31
  The pitch to him, high, all three
• 1:17:36
  Here with one out, Gibson is in danger of walking Hernandez for the second time
• 1:17:43
  The 3-2 pitch struck him out
• 1:17:47
  A letter high fastball picks him up, six strikeouts for Gibson
• 1:17:51
  Two on in the inning and the batter is Charlie Sands
• 1:17:59
  Sands, a left-handed hitter, used to belong to the Yankees, we saw him in spring training with the Pirates
• 1:18:12
  He's a big guy, about 6'4
• 1:18:16
  They're two men out, base is empty, Sands batting for Moose
• 1:18:22
  Here in the fifth
• 1:18:26
  First pitch is swinging a miss and he took a home run cut
• 1:18:31
  Moose pitched four and two thirds, he's charged with three runs and six hits
• 1:18:39
  Next pitch to Sands and it hits his bat and goes foul, that strike two, he was ducking an inside pitch
• 1:18:45
  Moose walked three men, they were all intentional walks
• 1:18:50
  And while he was in there, he had four strikeouts
• 1:18:53
  Either Veal or Brials will be their new pitcher
• 1:18:57
  Sands takes the ball low inside, a breaking ball
• 1:19:02
  He had to do everything in his power to keep from swinging at that one
• 1:19:12
  Sands is up there with two men out, the pitch to him and a swing and a miss, the breaking ball got him
• 1:19:19
  Gibson now has seven strikeouts and has not allowed a hit over the first five innings
• 1:19:25
  And at the end of five, the Cardinals lead Pittsburgh 8-0
• 1:19:31
  That's the call to action and the place to answer it is Sunoco, only Sunoco has the action of 260, highest octane gasoline at any station, anywhere
• 1:19:44
  Sunoco, Sunoco
• 1:19:49
  It's the call to action for your machine, if you're a man of action make it happen
• 1:19:54
  At the sign of the action gasoline, Sunoco
• 1:19:59
  Get next to Sunoco's custom blending pump and help get all the power out of your engine
• 1:20:04
  Sunoco blends 260 into premium, middle premiums, even regular
• 1:20:08
  That's 260 action and you can't get it anywhere else
• 1:20:11
  Sunoco, Sunoco
• 1:20:16
  It's the call to action for your machine, if you're a man of action make it happen
• 1:20:21
  At the sign of the action gasoline, Sunoco
• 1:20:27
  Sunoco, Sunoco
• 1:20:32
  The ground crew is out smoothing out the base pass
• 1:20:37
  We're going into the sixth inning, the Pirates will use a new hurler
• 1:20:44
  Looks like Bob Veale is going to make the leisurely walk into the ballgame
• 1:20:49
  We're going to pause for identification here in just a moment
• 1:20:53
  Want to check and make sure that it is Veale, both he and Braille's were warming up
• 1:20:58
  Down in the bullpen
• 1:21:05
  And it's Mr. Beale
• 1:21:07
  We'll tell you about his pitching statistics when we come back
• 1:21:11
  This is the Cardinals baseball network
• 1:21:20
  Can you see that?
• 1:21:23
  Stand by
• 1:21:29
  Jim Woods, if I were to tell you that Veale is 6-0 for the year, 6 wins, no losses
• 1:21:35
  And you were to tell me his earned run average was 7.26
• 1:21:41
  You'd say that's not right, you're wrong
• 1:21:44
  It's a misprint on this thing
• 1:21:46
  He's got the only innings pitch that he's had for 6 wins
• 1:21:50
  He's pitched a total of 31 innings
• 1:21:53
  And in that time he's given up 25 earned runs
• 1:21:57
  He hasn't had, well he's had two saves too
• 1:22:03
  He was talking the other day about this, he said I know I haven't pitched well
• 1:22:07
  But he said you've got to go with the record book, I'm 6-0
• 1:22:15
  Well to score 8-0, Beale takes over here in the 6th
• 1:22:19
  And Jose Cruz will be the first man up against him
• 1:22:23
  Cruz is 1-3, delivered a key hit in the first when the Cardinals scored 5 times
• 1:22:28
  They came back to get 3 more in the 5th
• 1:22:31
  Cruz had been retired in the 5th inning and Moose had set down 8 in a row
• 1:22:38
  Then things started to happen
• 1:22:41
  The Cardinals scored 3 runs off of Moose after getting 5 off of Johnson
• 1:22:48
  The pitch is on the way and Cruz takes a strike from big Bob Beale
• 1:22:54
  And I mean this fella's big
• 1:22:57
  6-6, 2-15, pitches, low for a ball
• 1:23:04
  If Beale were a rent collector, you'd pay in advance
• 1:23:10
  Big fella brings it home and a swing and a miss by Cruz makes it 1 ball 2 strikes
• 1:23:16
  Jose will be followed by Torrey who will be up there looking for his 4th hit of the night
• 1:23:26
  Beale pitches in the dirt, bounces back to the screen, makes the count 2-2
• 1:23:33
  I've done that in room with Beale all the time, there were teammates over here
• 1:23:37
  And Dylans told me there's just no way of telling how strong Beale is
• 1:23:41
  He doesn't know himself, but he tears up phone books and things like that
• 1:23:45
  And he can throw the ball
• 1:23:47
  It's 2-2 delivery, swing and a foul out of play
• 1:23:52
  Beale confesses that he has difficulty regimenting himself with regard to his weight
• 1:23:59
  And he knows that he has hurt his career
• 1:24:02
  He said I just can't make myself do it during the off season
• 1:24:05
  2-2 pitch and a bouncer to second and a big hop to Mazurowski
• 1:24:08
  He'll throw the first and Cruz is out
• 1:24:11
  Cruz does get down that line
• 1:24:14
  He's out and he's 1 for 4, here's Torrey trying to make it 4 for 4
• 1:24:25
  Jim Woods and Torrey have a little something going with regard to a superstition
• 1:24:31
  When we ride the bus to the ballpark, Torrey wants Jim to sit with him
• 1:24:39
  Because he's had good success in the ballgame whenever that's occurred and happened tonight
• 1:24:46
  The pitch to Joe, a ball outside, ball one
• 1:24:53
  Torrey is 3 for 3, they're all singles, he has scored twice, he's driven in a run
• 1:24:58
  And he swings and hits it slowly foul down the third base line to even the count 1-1
• 1:25:04
  Alright Jim, you were seated elsewhere and he said get back here and sit with me
• 1:25:08
  Started that night in the doubleheader in Montreal and he had the 7 hits
• 1:25:11
  So when he gets on the bus now he looks around and sees where I am and makes me move
• 1:25:15
  Swing and a foul, one ball, two strikes
• 1:25:20
  Not that he's not a pleasant fellow to sit with anyway
• 1:25:24
  One ball, two strikes to Torrey, one man out, 6th inning, 8-0 Cardinals
• 1:25:29
  A pitch from Veal and it's a strike call
• 1:25:35
  And Torrey says nothing but I don't believe he thought much of the call
• 1:25:40
  He's out on strikes
• 1:25:48
  That's Veal's first strike out, he's retired the first two and Torrey is 3 for 4
• 1:25:53
  Here's Simmons who turns around to bat right handed, Ted is 2 for 3 tonight with 2 runs scored
• 1:25:59
  And a run batted in
• 1:26:03
  Swing and a miss and Veal can pump that ball
• 1:26:07
  He kept that one away from Simmons
• 1:26:14
  Cash at third, deep behind the bag, the pitch is made and a fly ball into right center field
• 1:26:19
  And that is another hit for Simmons, his third hit of the night
• 1:26:23
  Ted is on with 2 men out, Simmons is 3 for 4
• 1:26:30
  Started the night at 3-0-6, he's up around 3-10 now
• 1:26:38
  As we mentioned before, Lou Brock might be back in the Cardinal lineup tomorrow
• 1:26:43
  A right hander, Keeson will be pitching against the Redbirds, here's Haig hitting against Veal
• 1:26:49
  Joe with a 3 run homer in the first, then he struck out and was given a walk
• 1:26:55
  A strike swinging, breaking ball fooled him
• 1:27:03
  The Pirates will have the top of their order up in the 6th inning
• 1:27:07
  Haig missed again, swinging hard, strike 2
• 1:27:17
  On to the count, in the 0-2 pitch, misses outside
• 1:27:23
  Veal is the third pitcher, Bob Johnson started it for the Pirates, gave up 5 runs in one third of an inning
• 1:27:31
  And Bob Moose, allowed 3 runs
• 1:27:35
  Pitch to Haig, low, we mentioned earlier this could prove to be a profitable night for the Pirates
• 1:27:43
  Even if they lose, if they brought Bob Moose through, but he wasn't too impressive
• 1:27:51
  2-2 delivery, and Haig takes it way high, ball 3
• 1:27:55
  This Veal can hit a wild streak, the likes of which you've never seen
• 1:28:05
  A full count of 3-2 on Haig, and the runners, Simmons at first, will go with 2 men out
• 1:28:11
  As the Cardinals try to add to their 8-0 lead
• 1:28:15
  Veal is ready, Simmons is running, and there's a ball drilled foul into the right field corner
• 1:28:22
  The paid attendance tonight, 30,678
• 1:28:28
  They had 31,000 last night, and they're going to be sold out tomorrow
• 1:28:33
  They hold about 47 or so here, I believe
• 1:28:37
  Ball 4, Haig walks
• 1:28:46
  For the 3 dates the Cardinals have played here, the Pirates have drawn 83,000
• 1:28:51
  Now Kubiak turns around and bats right-handed, and comes up with 2-on-2-out
• 1:28:58
  Ted delivered a 2-run double in the 5th, also had a hit in the 1st, he's 2-for-3
• 1:29:06
  2-on-2-out
• 1:29:09
  Veal in his first inning of work, brings it home, breaking ball in there, and a called strike
• 1:29:18
  I don't imagine Kubiak has ever faced Veal before
• 1:29:24
  That's what they had in the press room tonight
• 1:29:28
  Veal, not Kubiak, a strike call at the knees, strike 2
• 1:29:35
  On to the count
• 1:29:40
  2-on-2-out on the Cardinals' 6th inning
• 1:29:44
  The pitch, high outside, way outside
• 1:29:48
  1-2
• 1:29:51
  Football, a first-quarter score, Baltimore 7, Chicago Bears 3
• 1:30:00
  Here's the pitch to Kubiak, swings and fouls it back
• 1:30:06
  1-2
• 1:30:09
  Cardinals scored 5 in the first, 3 in the 5th, have 2 men out in the 6th
• 1:30:20
  Veal slows it down, takes the handkerchief out of his pocket to mop his brow
• 1:30:30
  And then gets back on
• 1:30:34
  Simmons at second, Hague at first
• 1:30:40
  The 1-2 delivery coming, swinging a foul on a fastball, trying to go to right
• 1:30:50
  Ball back up on the screen and then down to the field
• 1:30:55
  Kubiak hanging in there, looking for his third hit
• 1:31:02
  Strike call, a fastball, forward in at the knees and Veal gets his second strike out of the inning
• 1:31:08
  The Cardinals lead 2 and they have stranded 8 while scoring 8
• 1:31:12
  No runs, one hit, no errors, a walk, two left
• 1:31:16
  In the Pirate's 6th inning, the top of the order will come up, the Cardinals lead 8 to nothing
• 1:31:21
  Do do do do do do
• 1:31:25
  Sit down, rest your mind, you've got lots of time, call a friend, talk about the day you had
• 1:31:31
  Pull up a chair, keep your shoes off there, get your troubles caused, friend, it ain't that bad
• 1:31:38
  With a life to lead, friend, there ain't no need to haggle, overnight time, entertainment
• 1:31:45
  You can sit at home when you're all alone and still have fun with the right arrangement
• 1:31:52
  That's the way Bush does it, with the right arrangement
• 1:31:56
  6-row barley and virgin hops, the best money can buy
• 1:32:01
  Lots of time to let the inbrewed carbonation happen naturally
• 1:32:06
  Rest your mind with a cold Bush, Bush does it like no other beer
• 1:32:12
  Visit our St. Louis Brewery and we will prove it
• 1:32:15
  Bush does it like no other beer
• 1:32:23
  In another baseball game, the Cubs hang on to their lead over Cincinnati 3-1 at the end of 7
• 1:32:31
  And in football, the Cardinals and Houston scoreless after one period
• 1:32:37
  Dave Cash leads off against Gibson and has held the Pirates Hitlers through the first five innings
• 1:32:44
  Ball one high from Bob who has struck out seven
• 1:32:49
  Walked two, Cardinals lead 8-0
• 1:32:53
  Next delivery, swing and a foul out of play, 1-1 will be Cash, Dabaliol and Oliver
• 1:32:59
  A lot of left-handed batters for Gibson to work on tonight
• 1:33:03
  Crowd whoops it up and Cash swings and a fly ball to right
• 1:33:10
  Hague is there, he's got it
• 1:33:12
  Hard hit ball but Hague had him played well, drifted back and made the catch
• 1:33:18
  Reaching above his head for the out
• 1:33:23
  Dabaliol is 0-2
• 1:33:26
  I know sometimes when we talk about a pitcher having a no hitter, people say we put the hex on
• 1:33:31
  Well, maybe in Salem, Massachusetts but not in 1971
• 1:33:41
  Dabaliol is 0-2
• 1:33:46
  He'll glide to center and bounce to short
• 1:33:48
  His first pitch is made and it is a ball high
• 1:33:52
  And if something like that were to happen, we'd want you to share all of the excitement and be aware of the fact that
• 1:33:57
  Such a game was in progress
• 1:33:59
  The next pitch and a fly ball to the shortstop, he got him on a change up
• 1:34:06
  A little pop fly to Maxwell, you couldn't really call it a line drive, it was hit so softly and that's the second out of the inning
• 1:34:13
  Now Oliver is up
• 1:34:15
  He's flied to left, popped to short, he usually hits the ball the opposite field, he's a left-handed batter
• 1:34:20
  Gibson's first one to him and it's a ball outside
• 1:34:24
  Cardinals trying to move within five of Pittsburgh, lead eight to nothing
• 1:34:30
  Swing and a bouncer to first, Gibson comes over to cover, Alou makes the out himself
• 1:34:35
  And at the end of six, Gibson still has not allowed a hit
• 1:34:40
  No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left
• 1:34:45
  You can start getting a little bit excited about this situation now
• 1:34:48
  Gibson has never had a hit before
• 1:34:51
  At the end of six, the Cardinals lead eight to nothing
• 1:34:55
  Nice home court, Bush does it like no other beer
• 1:35:00
  Hiya Barney
• 1:35:01
  Hi Jack, mind if I sit down, I'm getting to the age it takes me longer to rest than it does to get tired
• 1:35:06
  Oh you're not old Barney
• 1:35:08
  Well now that I know my way around I don't feel like going
• 1:35:11
  Exciting night is just to turn up the electric blanket a bit
• 1:35:14
  Yeah I'm still better than a ball player we had down home
• 1:35:17
  So slow he couldn't beat out a walk Now that is slow
• 1:35:21
  Took him an hour to make minute rice and lazy, nobody ever knew how tall he was
• 1:35:25
  Never saw him completely standing up
• 1:35:27
  I guess there are worse things than aging
• 1:35:29
  Oh aging can be a good thing Jack, like with this Bush here
• 1:35:33
  It's the extra time we take to smooth it out
• 1:35:35
  Alive like it is Barney
• 1:35:37
  That's just one of the things that makes Bush the best beer in the ballpark
• 1:35:40
  I better get moving
• 1:35:41
  Got fans waiting in our range
• 1:35:43
  So soon you just got here
• 1:35:44
  Yeah but a man stretches his legs according to the length of his blanket
• 1:35:48
  See ya Jack
• 1:35:49
  Ice cold Bush, Bush doesn't like no other beer
• 1:35:53
  Barney the Bush man, say hi next time you see him
• 1:35:58
  We're into the summer venting here, Maxville is the lead off
• 1:36:01
  Batter and Veal slams a fastball passing for a strike
• 1:36:04
  Max he is 0 for 2 on the night
• 1:36:09
  Big left tender
• 1:36:11
  Lays another one in and it's a foul ball out of play
• 1:36:15
  Two quick strikes
• 1:36:18
  Two weeks from tonight we'll be home with the Reds
• 1:36:20
  And that's going to be Jerseyville Illinois night
• 1:36:22
  Hope you'll be there, Menard County Illinois day on Sunday
• 1:36:25
  And Vandalia Illinois Monday August 30th when the Mets come in
• 1:36:31
  Pitch down low 1 and 2
• 1:36:33
  You folks from Vandalia can secure your ticket information from Mr. Lamar Wiss
• 1:36:38
  At 283-2282 the phone number
• 1:36:42
  Ball 2 is outside
• 1:36:44
  2 and 2
• 1:36:48
  None on none out and the Cardinals comfortably in front
• 1:36:51
  8 to nothing in the 7
• 1:36:53
  Here's the pitch, it's wide, ball 3
• 1:36:58
  Veal has been plagued with a lot of wildness during his career
• 1:37:02
  Never was the great winner that they expected him to be off his minor league record
• 1:37:06
  Another foul out of play
• 1:37:08
  Full count 3 and 2
• 1:37:17
  Outfield straight away for Maxville and Veal readies now for the payoff pitch
• 1:37:22
  Drilling shot out towards center, here comes Oliver on the move, he got there
• 1:37:29
  Maxville's good for a base hit
• 1:37:31
  Taken away from him by Al Oliver and Bob Gibson will bat
• 1:37:34
  Nothing for 2, he's driven in one of the 8 runs with a fly ball
• 1:37:39
  The Pittsburgh fans are giving him a big hand as he comes up
• 1:37:52
  He bats against Veal for the first time tonight
• 1:37:55
  Fast ball right down the middle, 0-1
• 1:37:58
  Robert Veal from Birmingham, Alabama
• 1:38:01
  The overpowered Gibson with a fast ball as he swung and missed 2 strikes
• 1:38:09
  And the next delivery, he just did get a piece of it and nicked it back onto the screen
• 1:38:13
  And it runs back down, still no balls, 2 strikes
• 1:38:21
  1 out here in the 7
• 1:38:23
  Veal into the motion, here's the pitch to Gibby and it's a ball
• 1:38:27
  Didn't miss by much, 1 and 2
• 1:38:36
  Left hander delivers again and again he's wide
• 1:38:39
  2 balls, 2 strikes
• 1:38:42
  Johnson on the hook for the ball game, he gave up the first 5 runs after retiring
• 1:38:46
  Only 1 run left, he's in the 7th
• 1:38:48
  Johnson on the hook for the ball game, he gave up the first 5 runs after retiring
• 1:38:53
  Only 1 man in the first inning before Murtaugh removed him
• 1:38:56
  2-2 pitch, fly ball toward right
• 1:38:59
  Davalillo drifting 2 or 3 steps to his left, grabs it off, 2 outs
• 1:39:06
  2 and out of Manny Allou
• 1:39:08
  Allou is hitless on the night, although he's walked twice
• 1:39:11
  And he's going to be taking his time about getting up there with Gibson having run down the first baseline on the high fly ball
• 1:39:21
  It was obviously going to be caught, Gibby didn't run all out
• 1:39:29
  Final game of this series tomorrow and then on to the Rhineland, the Riverfront Stadium
• 1:39:35
  For 3 with the Reds, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights
• 1:39:40
  Working veal to Allou, bouncing ball up the middle, Mazurowski goes over, short hops and does not come up with it
• 1:39:52
  It's an error, charge to Bill Mazurowski
• 1:39:57
  And Allou gets a line, that's the second pirate error of the night
• 1:40:05
  And Sizemore has a chance, 1 for 4
• 1:40:08
  Maz got to the ball and couldn't handle the tricky in between hops, he played every hop well except the last one
• 1:40:19
  Fastball over for a strike, going 1
• 1:40:26
  Houston and Atlanta are scoreless at the end of 3 in their night game down at Lannaway
• 1:40:31
  Veal's next pitch, fastball low, relying almost entirely on his fastball, which is still pretty zingy
• 1:40:39
  Although it does not quite have the velocity as a young Bob Veal did several years ago
• 1:40:45
  One ball, one strike, a pitch on the corner, 1 and 2
• 1:40:53
  Cardinals got them in bunches tonight, 5 in the first and 3 in the fifth
• 1:40:57
  They've had 11 hits overall, Sizemore taps one down to Bob Robertson
• 1:41:03
  He's up on all over to Veal, safe!
• 1:41:06
  A good hustling slide by Sizemore, just absolutely out-hustled Veal to the bank, is the only way you can call it
• 1:41:12
  He went in there sliding, and that slide got him in ahead of Veal, and it'll be a base hit for Sizemore
• 1:41:19
  And that is hustle all the way, my friends
• 1:41:22
  On the play, Alou moved into second, and now Cruz will bat with 2 on and 2 out
• 1:41:32
  Veal was extremely slow coming to cover
• 1:41:38
  Cruz on the night, singled his first time up, has gone out the next 3 times, 1 for 4
• 1:41:44
  They're in the ninth inning at Cincinnati, Cubs 3, Reds 1
• 1:41:52
  The Cubs are hanging right on the coattails of the Cardinals
• 1:41:58
  Looking at the score and saying they've got a pretty good chance to pick up a full game on the Pirates 2
• 1:42:03
  Curve ball over, strike call
• 1:42:06
  Alou leads off second, Sizemore off first
• 1:42:09
  Real wicked fastball outside, 1 and 1 the count
• 1:42:19
  This has been the only wide open game of this series, the other two were real tight-knit pitching battles
• 1:42:26
  High to Cruz, and he's got a good shot
• 1:42:29
  And Gibson has just been magnificent so far, he has a no-hitter going to the seventh inning
• 1:42:40
  He gets through the seventh, the tension will be building up around here
• 1:42:43
  And I'll tell you one reason why, or a lot of reasons, of course
• 1:42:47
  People get excited about any no-hitter, and they get excited about the fact that they're going to be able to get a good shot
• 1:42:56
  Of course, people get excited about any no-hitter, whether it's pitched against them or for them
• 1:43:03
  Little pop foul, down, out of play
• 1:43:07
  There has never been a no-hit game pitched in the city of Pittsburgh
• 1:43:13
  In the old ballpark, Forbes Field, which was built in 1909, there was never a no-hitter thrown there
• 1:43:18
  There's never been one thrown here
• 1:43:21
  As close as anybody came was this year when Luke Walker took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Dodgers
• 1:43:27
  And the first man up, Joe Ferguson, hit a home run to ruin it for him
• 1:43:34
  Two balls, two strikes
• 1:43:36
  Vio Works strike three called, and Cruz is out of there
• 1:43:40
  No runs, one hit, one error, two left, and the Cardinals have stranded ten
• 1:43:46
  But nonetheless, going to the bottom of the seventh, they lead
• 1:44:16
  Whether you're working, relaxing, or just making friendly conversation, Red Fox Chewing Tobacco makes things go a little smoother
• 1:44:39
  So keep some handy, it's got flavor with life in it
• 1:44:50
  So here we go, and looky who's up
• 1:44:53
  Willie Starjil, struck out and walked
• 1:44:55
  Gibson has walked a pair in the ballgame
• 1:44:58
  Big swing by Starjil and a foul ball out of play
• 1:45:01
  No balls and a strike
• 1:45:04
  And this big crowd now is starting to roar
• 1:45:10
  30,000 plus in here
• 1:45:12
  Gibson brings it in to Willie, it's high
• 1:45:14
  A blazing fastball from Gibson, one and one they count
• 1:45:22
  Outfield, deep for Starjil, around toward right
• 1:45:24
  Check swing, a drive down the left field line, it's foul
• 1:45:29
  One and two
• 1:45:36
  Milton A. is next and then Bob Robertson
• 1:45:39
  Here's the pitch to Starjil, just off the corner, two and two they count
• 1:45:49
  Gibson ready quickly, brings in the delivery, strike, three, swinging, Starjil goes down on strikes
• 1:45:55
  That's now eight for Gibson, and there's one away in the seventh
• 1:46:00
  Milton A. bats now, he's nothing for two
• 1:46:04
  One of the three base runners that the Pirates have had all night
• 1:46:09
  He struck out in the second inning and the pitch got away from Simmons
• 1:46:12
  That was eventually ruled a wild pitch
• 1:46:14
  And the two walks, the only men that the Pirates have have aboard
• 1:46:19
  Gibson pops a fastball, just a little high, one ball no strikes
• 1:46:24
  Works again to the left hand, inning catcher, there's a drilling shot
• 1:46:31
  Deep left center field, Cruz on the move, way back, way back, and he got there
• 1:46:36
  Cruz up the wall, saved it
• 1:46:38
  Jose Cruz had to run a country mile, believe me my friends, and he got there
• 1:46:43
  Ran out from under his cap and staggered at the base of the wall
• 1:46:46
  And dragged it down, there are two men out
• 1:46:50
  And here is Bob Robertson, up twice, struck out twice
• 1:46:56
  Gibson has eight K's hung up in the book tonight
• 1:47:04
  And he's had everything going for him
• 1:47:08
  Robertson checks off the first pitch, he did everything but swing at it, one ball no strikes
• 1:47:15
  Robbie out of the batter's box right now, I don't know what's the matter with him
• 1:47:26
  Gibson doesn't wait very long for him, brings it in, strike call
• 1:47:31
  You can just see the smoke pouring off some of Gibson's deliveries
• 1:47:36
  Two men out, seven theny, nobody on, one one count
• 1:47:39
  On the buck, first baseman, the delivery ripped down, he got a cut
• 1:47:42
  Foul back into the screen, strike two, one ball, two strikes
• 1:47:53
  Gibson again has to wait as Robertson tries to break his concentration and rhythm
• 1:47:57
  Here's the delivery, a ball, breaking ball wide, two balls, two strikes
• 1:48:05
  Mazeroski on deck
• 1:48:08
  Here's Gibson, into the two-two movement, and a swing and a miss, no foul ball
• 1:48:13
  The crowd roared but the ball just did roll out of the glove of Ted Simmons and was just barely tipped
• 1:48:18
  Still two and two
• 1:48:25
  Get a little apprehensive when you get that close to getting it out, here's the pitch outside
• 1:48:30
  Full count now, three and two
• 1:48:34
  And again Robertson backs away
• 1:48:39
  He squeezes that bat, you can almost see the sawdust come running out of it
• 1:48:43
  Three balls, two strikes, and the pitch, bouncing ball just foul past Torrey
• 1:48:49
  Oh man, that was less than a foot, Torrey lunged for it, couldn't get a glove on it
• 1:48:54
  And it was just outside the line, Gibson has had two close calls in this inning
• 1:49:00
  The long drive hit by May and that one hit right there by Robertson
• 1:49:04
  Three balls, two strikes, big right hander into the motion, here's the delivery, foul back and out of play
• 1:49:16
  Oh Robertson is giving him a battle and staying alive here and Gibson is trying to put him away
• 1:49:23
  Into the dugout, three-two pitch comes in again, let up delivery, he lost him, ball four
• 1:49:29
  Third walk given up by Gibby, and now the batter will be Bill Mazurowski
• 1:49:34
  Who has popped up, grounded out, and will pause for station identification on the Cardinals baseball network
• 1:49:41
  Man has a drilling line drive and Maxey's got it, Maxville right at his knees
• 1:49:59
  Took a scorching line drive off the bat of Bill Mazurowski and Gibson is safely through the seven
• 1:50:05
  No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left, at the end of seven innings the Cardinals eight runs on twelve hits
• 1:50:12
  The Pirates no runs and no hits
• 1:50:42
  In beer, there's only one way to make it, and that's the way Butch does it, with the best ingredients and brewing skills
• 1:51:04
  Visit our brewery and see why
• 1:51:18
  Ville fires the first pitch into touring, it's down low, one ball no strikes, Joe has three hits on the night
• 1:51:23
  Three for four and it's wide, two and 0 the count, struck out his last time up or rather was called out on strikes
• 1:51:30
  Ville didn't think it was, but Wendelstadt did, two nothing pitch from the king size left hander and a rip by Torrey and a foul
• 1:51:37
  Two and one, Seidman has kind of died down here with the Cardinals batting, but it will build up and Gibson takes that no hitter to the mound in the eighth inning
• 1:51:45
  There's a ball high to Torrey, up around the peak of the cap, here's Ville ready to move the delivery in again and a high pop up
• 1:52:01
  Coming back, let's see, Milt May got it right at the screen, and he had a chance
• 1:52:09
  Well Torrey has a three for five night as he fouls out to Milt May, Ted Simmons bats now and he's had a double and two singles in four trips to the plate
• 1:52:26
  One out here in the top of the eighth inning, Cardinals have out hit the Pirates 12 to nothing
• 1:52:32
  Here's a line drive by Simmons and I do believe he's got another hit, he has, Simmons hangs out his fourth hit of the night, he's four for five
• 1:52:42
  This could be a night that Mr. Simmons will long remember, one on one out and Joe Hague, one hit and two official trips to the plate
• 1:52:51
  It left the ballpark to cap off the five run first inning when the Cardinals clobbered Bob Johnson and drove him to an early shower
• 1:53:00
  A ball outside, one and 0 the count, at Chicago, Cuellar for Baltimore, Bradley for the White Sox
• 1:53:10
  Cuellar had been going very good, bouncing ball up the middle, center field, Simmons down to second and he's going to stop right there
• 1:53:17
  As Joe Hague gets his second hit of the night and the Cardinals 14th base ball off pirate pitching
• 1:53:27
  Kubiak the batter now, he had a big hit back in the fifth inning, a double down into the right field corner that drove in a couple and overall he's two for four
• 1:53:40
  Cardinals came to play when they arrived in Pittsburgh early Thursday morning, fastball low from Veele, one ball no strikes
• 1:53:51
  Simmons at second, Hague at first, only one man out and the Redbirds in front, eight nothing, eight inning
• 1:53:58
  Big cut by Kubiak and he tried to go down that right field corner again, I'll tell you, one and one they count
• 1:54:10
  Veele brings in his next pitch, it's nowhere near the plate, two balls and a strike
• 1:54:17
  Johnson, Moose and Veele have been the three hurlers tonight for Danny Martell
• 1:54:27
  Veele again has his handkerchief out, he has a lot of trouble with his eyeglasses that fog up on him and I can understand why, as smoggy as it is around here tonight
• 1:54:38
  Here's the 2-1 pitch, foul back out of play, 2-2
• 1:54:51
  Two balls, two strikes, two on, the Cardinals trying to get some more
• 1:55:00
  Trying to get even with their frustrations against the Pirates last year and in the early part of this season
• 1:55:07
  Wide ball three, full count three and two
• 1:55:14
  Kubiak takes a look at Benson, another three-two count, not much Vern can help him with, we'll see if Red starts the runners here
• 1:55:23
  He doesn't and the three-two pitch is high, he walked him and the Cardinals have the bases fall
• 1:55:29
  And Maxey will bat, he's hitless on the night, he's 0-3, hit the ball hard last time up but Oliver made a fine running catch to deprive him of a base hit
• 1:55:41
  Simmons on at third, Haig the runner at second and now Kubiak is at first with one out
• 1:55:47
  And the Bucks keep their infield at double play depth
• 1:55:54
  They are down by eight at this late stage of the ball game
• 1:55:59
  Up high to Maxville, one ball no strikes, Veale who has a tendency to go wild, may be headed that direction
• 1:56:12
  Big guy brings it down again, ball two is up high, two balls no strikes
• 1:56:19
  And it is Veale forever, there's nobody warming up in the Pirate Bowl panel
• 1:56:25
  You know you really don't like to see Gibson on the bench this long Jim
• 1:56:30
  That's right, not with the rhythm that he's got going for him, there's ball three outside, three and all the count
• 1:56:36
  And Veale is on the verge of walking in another Cardinal run
• 1:56:42
  And this crowd is hooting and hollering even though they got a first place ball club here, they're really letting them have it in this slump
• 1:56:48
  3-0 pitch, strike call, 3-1
• 1:56:55
  Three runners lead away for the Cardinals, Veale gets ready in a hurry, fires it high, ball four and a run is forced in
• 1:57:01
  That makes it nine to nothing
• 1:57:05
  Maxville will receive credit for a run batted in and Veale's ERA may be creeping up a little higher
• 1:57:14
  The base is still loaded to Bob Gibson, listen to the hands for him
• 1:57:19
  Bob nothing for three, he drove in a run with a fly ball as the opportunity is the same here
• 1:57:32
  And Veale is nowhere near the plate, he's gone wild, wild, one ball no strikes
• 1:57:43
  Cardinal runners at every base, Robertson up a little bit at first, a strike poured right down the middle, one and one
• 1:57:53
  Now Brials does come up in the parent bullpen
• 1:57:59
  1-1 pitch from Big Bob, a throw down to first and back in plenty of time as Maxville pitch with the ball, two and one they count
• 1:58:08
  Veale is only one batter away from the top of the batting order, Mattie Allou
• 1:58:16
  Nine nothing, St. Louis, Veale wiping his glasses once more
• 1:58:29
  He's a white handkerchief now, he used to always carry a big red bandana out there
• 1:58:34
  With a trademark of his for a number of years, two balls one strike
• 1:58:43
  Working to Gibson, swing by Bob and a miss two to the count, came right over the top with a fastball
• 1:59:00
  Delivery is a shot to left field, the base hit, Hague is in the score
• 1:59:04
  Here comes Kubiak and Stargell's throw is not in time, he scores, it's 11-0
• 1:59:12
  Bob Gibson drives in his second and third runs of the night, he's got eight overall
• 1:59:18
  And the Cardinals now have an 11-0 lead, Maxville stopped at second, still only one man out and Allou will be the batter
• 1:59:26
  I guess I would see Gibson not run the bases in this spot, Jim, but that's a little additional effort he's going to have to put out this evening
• 1:59:36
  Bring a jacket down to him, yeah I'm like you, it's a long inning for Gibby not to be on that mound
• 1:59:42
  With the fasts he likes to pitch and his rhythm, but we'll just have to see how it works out
• 1:59:48
  Cardinals 11 runs, 15 hits, Pirates no runs, no hits, and they're taking a jacket down to Gibson
• 1:59:55
  Five runs in the first setting, three more in the fifth, three more in the eighth
• 2:00:02
  And the Cardinals are giving the Pirates a real old fashioned thrashing
• 2:00:09
  Pitch to Allou, wide and low, one ball no strikes
• 2:00:16
  Sizemore will be next, still only one man out in the inning
• 2:00:22
  Maddie a foul over the screen, one and one
• 2:00:30
  Tomorrow afternoon, Bruce Keeson and Reggie Cleveland in the windup of this big, big four game set
• 2:00:39
  And a packed house will be here, one-one delivery, swing by Allou, he got nothing, one and two
• 2:00:51
  Most of the big crowd sticking around, and you know why, with this thing that Gibson's got going
• 2:00:58
  There's a pitch foul back out of play, otherwise with an 11-0 score, I think many of them would have departed homeward
• 2:01:06
  They're going to stick around to see if this, perhaps, is the night that the city of Pittsburgh will see its first no-hitter in baseball history
• 2:01:21
  Swing and a miss, night three
• 2:01:30
  Chuck points out, in the olden days, they discount their baseball history here from Forbes Field
• 2:01:36
  There was one pitched here by somebody in 1907, but they never really counted that as modern-day baseball
• 2:01:43
  They did everything from Forbes Field, which was built in 1909
• 2:01:46
  Sizemore bats here with two outs and two on
• 2:01:51
  Fouls off the first pitch for a strike, 0-1 the count
• 2:01:59
  11-0, Redbirds, top of the eighth inning
• 2:02:09
  Neal trying to put Sizemore away, and he almost threw that pitch away, one ball, one strike
• 2:02:15
  At the end of four innings, Atlanta holds a 1-0 lead over Houston
• 2:02:19
  Giants lost today, or won today, 6-5, the Dodgers are playing tonight
• 2:02:25
  With the pressure on them
• 2:02:32
  Neal works and Sizemore bangs it right down to Cash, who steps on third for the force-out of Maxwell to retire the side
• 2:02:39
  Three more runs on three hits, no errors, two more left
• 2:02:45
  Cardinals have left 12-1, but going to the bottom of the eighth, they lead 11-0
• 2:02:50
  The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence
• 2:02:59
  That's what he told me, and I haven't seen the guy that I love since
• 2:03:07
  He told me he was through for greener pastures, he had found
• 2:03:12
  That he was tired of playing, old man was leaving his hip-hand
• 2:03:16
  I said, okay, be on your way, someday you'll know
• 2:03:23
  Without love, green grass won't grow
• 2:03:26
  Take a good look before you change anything, especially your beer
• 2:03:31
  Bush is brewed with all the time it takes to let the fine ingredients mellow
• 2:03:35
  And we wait even longer while our beer builds its own natural bubbles
• 2:03:39
  Worth the extra time? Well, beer drinkers all over will tell you
• 2:03:44
  Bush has been like no other beer
• 2:04:14
  And they're applauding Gibson on every out now
• 2:04:21
  The batter is going to be Klienz, he'll pinch hit for Bob Veale, Gene Klienz
• 2:04:27
  A right-hand hitter, batting at 3-0-3, a home run, 18-ban it in
• 2:04:38
  And he's taking his time about getting up there
• 2:04:42
  So this is the number 9 hitter coming up, Klienz to bat for Veale
• 2:04:49
  You know, that walk that Gibson issued in the 7th is going to ensure the fact that Stargill is going to come up again
• 2:04:54
  Yeah, sure is, you look back on it now, Jack
• 2:04:58
  Torrey stays in tight, Klienz has got great speed
• 2:05:03
  And has displayed it in this series so far
• 2:05:08
  Gibby ready to work, Klienz takes the ball, down low, one ball, no strikes
• 2:05:18
  Gibson has to wait for him, all these pirate hitters seem to be trying to break Gibson's rhythm and concentration
• 2:05:23
  Here's the delivery, a swing and a miss, strike one, one and one the count
• 2:05:32
  One out, nobody on, Gibson has issued three walks, here's the delivery, moved outside, ball two, two and one
• 2:05:42
  And the strike out and the wild pitch that allowed Milton A. to get on, that's been the only four pirate baserunners tonight
• 2:05:50
  Two balls and a strike, pitch coming, strike, two, call, right down the middle
• 2:05:56
  And the count goes to two and two
• 2:06:01
  And again, Gene Klienz steps out
• 2:06:06
  Gibson just waits for him, pumps immediately, delivers, high ball three, full count three and two
• 2:06:14
  Gibson looks around behind him, check the scoreboard, check his outfield, which is a little bit around toward right
• 2:06:21
  And a big three-two pitch coming up here to the pinch hitter Klienz, here's the delivery and it's a foul out of play
• 2:06:32
  I think Brooke Lawrence is feeling the pressure over there a little bit, Jack
• 2:06:35
  I tell you, his hands are just as sweaty as mine, dude
• 2:06:38
  Three balls, two strikes, Gibson works, got him, strike three, swinging
• 2:06:44
  Number nine goes into the books for Gibson and now he has two men out in the last half of the eighth inning
• 2:06:50
  And the top of the batting order, Dave Cash
• 2:06:53
  I fear this fellow as much as anybody in the pirate lineup, Jim
• 2:06:58
  Three times tonight, he has gone the right field
• 2:07:01
  The last time it was a line drive that Hague caught
• 2:07:07
  Gibson works to him, pops it through, strike call, low and one, the count
• 2:07:14
  Torrey has deepened about a step, he's still up on the astroturf, here's the delivery
• 2:07:18
  Ground ball, hit down to Torrey, leaps up high, gets it, throws and turns
• 2:07:22
  Gibson's got a no-hitter through eight
• 2:07:25
  At the end of eight, inning to play, 11 to nothing, St. Louis
• 2:07:33
  You want action? Sanoco's the call to action
• 2:07:36
  The action of Sanoco 260, highest octane gasoline at any station
• 2:07:41
  There just isn't a station that can beat it
• 2:07:44
  Sanoco, Sanoco
• 2:07:49
  It's the call to action for your machine
• 2:07:52
  If you're a man of action, make it happen
• 2:07:54
  At the sign of the action gasoline, Sanoco
• 2:07:59
  Sanoco makes it happen for your car
• 2:08:02
  The custom blending pump blends 260 into Sanoco Premium, middle premiums, even regular
• 2:08:07
  Get 260 action, it'll mean real action for your car
• 2:08:11
  Sanoco, Sanoco
• 2:08:16
  It's the call to action for your machine
• 2:08:19
  If you're a man of action, make it happen
• 2:08:21
  At the sign of the action gasoline, Sanoco
• 2:08:26
  Sanoco, Sanoco
• 2:08:31
  In the football game in St. Louis at the half, the Cardinals 7, Houston 7
• 2:08:37
  Here in the ninth inning, the Cardinals lead 11 to nothing
• 2:08:42
  And face Nelson Braus in the top of the ninth
• 2:08:52
  Braus is the fourth, Clarence Hurler
• 2:08:57
  But the heck with the top of the ninth
• 2:09:00
  Let's play the bottom of the ninth right now
• 2:09:03
  I wonder if you can wave your outs
• 2:09:08
  Braus into the game with a record of 5-2, an earned run average of 3.90
• 2:09:13
  Cardinals scored 5 off of Johnson, the starter
• 2:09:17
  3 off of Moose, 3 against Veal
• 2:09:22
  And will send up Cruz to start the ninth inning
• 2:09:25
  The Cardinals have out hit Pittsburgh 15 to nothing
• 2:09:29
  And lead 11 to nothing
• 2:09:31
  And in the pirate ninth, folks, Davalio, Oliver, and Starjol
• 2:09:37
  3 left-handed batters against Gibson who will have a no-hitter going into that ninth inning
• 2:10:01
  We get the information that Nicholas Medics pitched a no-hitter in 1907
• 2:10:08
  In the ballpark the pirates used before they were into Forbes Field
• 2:10:15
  Jose Cruz leads off in the Cardinal ninth inning
• 2:10:21
  And don't think, folks, that the plate umpire, who in this case is Harry Wendelstedt
• 2:10:26
  Is not anticipating the bottom of the ninth
• 2:10:29
  The pitch on the way to Cruz, a swing and a high pop foul
• 2:10:33
  Coming back near the screen, on the screen, strike one to Cruz
• 2:10:38
  Jose is 1 for 5 tonight
• 2:10:45
  He got a base hit in the first inning off the glove of the third baseman
• 2:10:49
  Which turned out to be a key hit in the first when the Cardinals scored 5
• 2:10:58
  Torrey will be up next
• 2:11:00
  Cruz takes a ball in the dirt
• 2:11:03
  Torrey is 3 for 5 in the ball game tonight
• 2:11:07
  No matter what he does in the last at bat, his average will increase
• 2:11:15
  Riles pitches, Cruz a fly ball to center field, Oliver drifts back to make the catch
• 2:11:20
  He's there and he has it for the out
• 2:11:24
  Cruz fly to center
• 2:11:28
  The batter is Joe Torrey
• 2:11:35
  Joe single his first three times and struck out and fouled up
• 2:11:45
  Outfield deep around to the left
• 2:11:50
  Nelson Briles in his first inning of work pitches and Torrey takes a ball outside
• 2:11:54
  He goes back to the screen
• 2:11:56
  Reggie Cleveland against Bruce Keeson tomorrow
• 2:12:04
  Outfield deep to the left is Torrey waits, Briles brings it home
• 2:12:07
  And there's a ground ball to the left of the third baseman, another hit for Torrey
• 2:12:12
  Torrey is 4 for 6 on the night
• 2:12:17
  Torrey gets a single with one out here
• 2:12:23
  And the batter is Simmons who already has 4 hits in the ball game
• 2:12:28
  Torrey now has 169 hits for the year
• 2:12:41
  Simmons at the plate
• 2:12:45
  Benning left handed against Briles, swings and hits it back to the pitcher
• 2:12:49
  Great play, throws to second out, throws to first out
• 2:12:52
  A tremendous play by Briles who grabbed that ball just off his left ear
• 2:12:58
  Throw to the shortstop, on to first base
• 2:13:02
  A 1-6-3 double play, no runs, one hit, no errors and nobody left
• 2:13:11
  And here we go folks, into the bottom of the ninth
• 2:13:17
  With Bob Gibson owning a no-hitter
• 2:13:21
  It will be D'Avalio, Oliver and Stardale
• 2:13:26
  And the Cardinals lead 11-0
• 2:13:31
  Gibson has struck out 9
• 2:13:35
  He has walked 3
• 2:13:37
  One other batter reached as a result of a dropped third strike
• 2:13:41
  4 base runners therefore allowed and 4 men left on base
• 2:13:58
  Gibson taking his warm-up tosses
• 2:14:01
  D'Avalio's flying to center, bounce to short and pop to short
• 2:14:04
  Gibson got him on an off-speed breaking ball the last time
• 2:14:11
  Last Cardinal no-hitter was by Ray Washburn against San Francisco a couple of years ago
• 2:14:20
  Oh here's a dangerous hitter in this spot
• 2:14:24
  Nick D'Avalio, left handed batter
• 2:14:27
  For whom they play straight away
• 2:14:31
  Torrey has to play in because D'Avalio likes to bunt
• 2:14:38
  Kubiak is deep at second
• 2:14:40
  Gibson on the mound
• 2:14:43
  The wind-up, his first pitch and a swing and a pop foul out of play
• 2:14:47
  Strike one
• 2:14:51
  Well Torrey has picked up 4 points tonight, he's batting 359
• 2:14:59
  Next pitch to D'Avalio coming
• 2:15:02
  Strike called on the outside corner
• 2:15:06
  Gibson really powdered one and he's got some fire left
• 2:15:11
  0-2 to D'Avalio
• 2:15:14
  Leading off in the ninth
• 2:15:16
  Gibson pitches, a ground ball to short, Maxwell has it
• 2:15:20
  The throw to first he's out and Gibson needs 2 more
• 2:15:27
  Gibson needs 2 more, Oliver and Stargell
• 2:15:31
  D'Avalio is out 6-3 to start it
• 2:15:34
  Gibson in the last couple of innings has been helped
• 2:15:38
  When a couple of line drives were caught and some good fielding plays were made behind him
• 2:15:45
  Al Oliver is 0-3, left handed hitter, first pitch, inside ball one
• 2:15:52
  Oliver flied to left, popped to short, grounded out to first
• 2:15:56
  They play him to hit a little bit to left
• 2:15:59
  Torrey is even with the bag at third and here's the pitch and a swing and a miss
• 2:16:03
  And a letter high fastball and Gibson has this pirate crowd rooting for the no hitter
• 2:16:08
  What will the score, 11 to nothing?
• 2:16:11
  There's one out in the bottom of the ninth
• 2:16:14
  1-1 the count and the pitch from Gibson is on the way and a swing and a ground ball to second
• 2:16:19
  He's got it, Kubiak throws him out
• 2:16:22
  One more to go
• 2:16:25
  Oliver was jammed with a pitch on the fist and he grounded to Kubiak for the second out
• 2:16:31
  And here is the biggest power hitter in the National League at the plate, Willie Stargell
• 2:16:37
  With two men out and the crowd is roaring
• 2:16:41
  Gibson into the windup, the pitch, a swing and a miss, strike one
• 2:16:46
  Gibson is two strikes away from a no hitter
• 2:16:49
  It'll be the first of a tremendously illustrious career
• 2:16:53
  One strike on Stargell
• 2:16:56
  The windup, the pitch, inside for a ball to even the count at one and one
• 2:17:02
  As Gibson, jammed him with a breaking ball, two men out, nobody on, bottom of the ninth
• 2:17:07
  11 to nothing Cardinals
• 2:17:09
  1-1 on Stargell, the pitch on the way and a swing and a miss, strike two
• 2:17:14
  A good ball breaking ball
• 2:17:16
  And Gibson is one strike away from the no hitter
• 2:17:20
  He takes off his cap, he mops his brow, he looks in and gets the side
• 2:17:26
  He starts to windup, here's the pitch and it's a strike called
• 2:17:31
  A no hitter for Gibson
• 2:17:33
  Simmons roars to the mound
• 2:17:36
  His race is Gibson losing, Gulp Feist is late
• 2:17:39
  And the Cardinals win the game 11 to nothing
• 2:17:43
  25 player pound Bob Gibson
• 2:17:46
  For a tremendous effort here tonight
• 2:17:50
  A called third strike
• 2:17:53
  To Willie Stargell ended it
• 2:17:56
  And Gibson, who has done everything else in the book
• 2:18:00
  Except a no hitter
• 2:18:02
  Got it here tonight
• 2:18:04
  11 to nothing, the Cardinals win it
• 2:18:07
  He set them down in order
• 2:18:09
  He got D'Avalio, he got Oliver
• 2:18:12
  And he struck out Stargell and a little foot shot coming out there pounding Gibson on the back
• 2:18:17
  Woods had to jump over the air to get to him
• 2:18:19
  And jump up he did and Gibson grabbed him
• 2:18:21
  Everybody just all over him and a tremendous thrill for everybody
• 2:18:24
  In the history of modern Pittsburgh baseball
• 2:18:27
  The first no hitter thrown in this town and Jackson earlier
• 2:18:30
  Won in 1907 and Bob Gibson did it in just magnificent fashion tonight
• 2:18:35
  If you were here, it would have made you cry
• 2:18:39
  The Cardinals win 11 to nothing, we'll have the totals and highlights in a minute
• 2:18:43
  Goodbye woman, goodbye girl
• 2:18:49
  You've hurt me one too many times
• 2:18:54
  You gave me nothing but a hard way to go
• 2:18:59
  You brought no comfort to my mind
• 2:19:03
  Goodbye trouble, goodbye pain
• 2:19:08
  I don't want no more of what you give
• 2:19:13
  I'll find myself a bunch of good, good times
• 2:19:17
  I'll find a brand new way to live
• 2:19:21
  Goodbye is not the end
• 2:19:23
  It's the chance to move on up and find something better
• 2:19:26
  A better life, a beer like Bush
• 2:19:29
  Brewed with only the finest natural ingredients and over a century of Anheuser-Busch gill
• 2:19:34

  Visit our St. Louis brewery and we will prove it
• 2:19:43
  Before we go into any wrap up here, we're going to pause for station identification on the St. Louis Cardinals baseball network
• 2:20:07
  I think that Jack and this announcer have used up about every adjudy we can think of tonight
• 2:20:13
  describing what was just a superb, unbeatable pitching performance by Bob Gibson
• 2:20:19
  and a heartwarming thing for this guy who all throughout his tremendous career, and that's what it has been, has never thrown one
• 2:20:27
  He came close last year in San Diego, Ivan Morrell broke that one up in the eighth inning
• 2:20:32
  but tonight he was not to be denied and he had 30,678 bug-eyed Pittsburghers rooting for him on every pitch
• 2:20:41
  From the eighth inning on, every out recorded by the Cardinals was greeted with a wild roar from the crowd here
• 2:20:47
  because they've always been pretty fair-minded here
• 2:20:50
  Jack has already headed downstairs, there's going to be something to get Gibson out of what has got to be a mad scene down in our dressing room
• 2:20:58
  Not only the no-hitter, but three straight now from the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cardinals closed over five lengths of the Eastern Division leaders
• 2:21:07
  The Redbirds picked up five runs in the first inning here tonight, highlighted on Joe Haig's 11th home run of the year
• 2:21:14
  Then they tacked on, three more in the fifth on three base hits and three more in the eighth inning
• 2:21:20
  Haig drove in three runs, Gibson himself, the top-off his performance, drove in three runs
• 2:21:25
  Torrey had a great night, he had four for six, Ted Simmons had four hits
• 2:21:30
  and overall it was a Cardinal victory that just completely crushed the Pirates tonight
• 2:21:36
  The only man to reach base off Gibson in the second inning, he struck out in May on a very bad ball that got away from Simmons
• 2:21:43
  that was ruled a wild pitch, he walked Hernandez in the third, he walked Stargell in the fourth
• 2:21:50
  and in the seventh inning he walked Bob Robertson and those were the only men that the Pirates got on base all night long
• 2:21:59
  Cardinals 11 runs, 16 hits no errors, Pittsburgh no runs, no hits and two errors
• 2:22:06
  The winner is Gibson, 11 and 10 and his first no-hitter ever, the loser is Bob Johnson and he is seven and eight
• 2:22:14
  We're going to get this down, Jack, where's the disclaimer Al?
• 2:22:21
  So we're going to wrap things up here and see if we can get Mr. Gibson on
• 2:22:26
  Some of the crowd still sticking around here and just looking out at the field where this momentous thing occurred
• 2:22:35
  Our producer tonight has been Al Chance, our engineer Bob Tolar, John Tolar rather

  The 201st win of Bob Gibson's illustrious career was a no-hitter here tonight
• 2:24:32
  Bob, what a thrilling moment. I know that it had to be for you because I cried up in the booth
• 2:24:38
  Yeah, it certainly was, Jack. It really did seem like we had won the 7th game of the World Series. I really enjoyed it
• 2:24:46
  It almost seemed during your career, Bob, that you've accomplished everything there is for a pitcher to accomplish
• 2:24:52
  but you were never going to get one of these because you came so close a couple of times
• 2:24:56
  Well, I honestly didn't believe that I ever would basically because I'm a highball pitcher and most hitters are highball hitters
• 2:25:04
  Usually you make pitches up there and if they don't hit it hard, they usually hit it over the infill or in the holes
• 2:25:10
  And you had some tough hitters in that 9th inning. They're tough throughout the entire ballgame
• 2:25:14
  but with the pressure on the line and everybody knew that you had a no-hitter going from the 4th inning on
• 2:25:20
  to the 7th inning is when I first took note of it and I kept talking about it on the broadcast
• 2:25:24
  Well, there's no doubt I was aware of it from the first inning on and after I got past the 7th inning
• 2:25:30
  or at least when I got into the 7th inning is when I really started pitching like I wanted to pitch a no-hitter
• 2:25:38
  Joe Torrey, you said that you told them before the game you were going to throw one
• 2:25:41
  Yeah, I did, but we always say that
• 2:25:43
  Bob, the last game I know I had to crush you knowing you and the way you hate to lose and you did lose that ballgame
• 2:25:51
  but what a way to bounce back and not only you're a no-hitter Bob, but that makes three in a row from the Pirates
• 2:25:56
  and moves us closer and that's what it's all about
• 2:25:58
  That's right. You always say that you got to take them one at a time and of course we were looking forward to this
• 2:26:04
  four-game series here in Pittsburgh and if we can possibly win that ballgame tomorrow, I think we're on our way
• 2:26:11
  Bob, I didn't want to see you get that hit the last time you were up and run the bases
• 2:26:16
  Oh, I don't mind running the bases. I'm in pretty good shape and I don't think that it really takes that much out of you
• 2:26:22
  unless the weather is pretty hot and say you get two or three hits and you're running doubles and triples
• 2:26:27
  but just for a pitcher to run down to first or maybe stand on first and run a second or third, I don't think that's going to worry him out
• 2:26:34
  Bob, any particular ball off the bat that made your heart go pitty patter?
• 2:26:38
  Well, the only one that really did bother me was a ball that was hit to Cash that bounced and Torrey had to jump to get it
• 2:26:46
  I thought it was going to bounce over his head
• 2:26:47
  Had him in the webbing of his glove
• 2:26:49
  That's right. Just Torrey was in in case he bun it and the ball just about got over his head
• 2:26:54
  Someone had a line drive at Maxville also
• 2:26:56
  Yeah, a Mazuraskan, but it wasn't quite the way it looked. It was a slider that was away and he tried to pull it
• 2:27:02
  When he hit it, I turned around and looked and I could tell pretty well that it was going right to Maxie
• 2:27:07
  The young catcher hit a ball deep to left center. The crews stayed with all the way
• 2:27:12
  Yeah, I wasn't worried about that at all. The ball was high enough
• 2:27:15
  I wasn't worried about a hit. The only thing that I could possibly do is go out of the ballpark and I'm sure he didn't hit it that hard
• 2:27:21
  The only thing he could do is go out of the ballpark
• 2:27:23
  Well, that's right. I mean, as far as if the ball comes out, I know it's high enough for him to catch
• 2:27:27
  Bob, congratulations on the win. We don't want to detain you any longer
• 2:27:31
  Congratulations to get back on the winning track and you just gave all of us a thrill in the ball club, a big lift along with it
• 2:27:38
  And now in the record book, it'll say Robert Gibson on this night, August 14th, no hitter against the Pirates. Nice going
• 2:27:44
  Thank you, Jack
