  The Baltimore Orioles faced the Washington Senators at RFK Stadium for the first game of a make-up
• 0:12
  twinite doubleheader on Tuesday, June 22nd, 1971.
• 0:17
  The Orioles were in first place in the AL East with a six-game lead over the Tigers and a 41-22 record
• 0:22
  under manager Earl Weaver. The Orioles went to the World Series the last two seasons, beating the Reds in 1970
• 0:28
  for their second championship in five years.
• 0:31
  The Senators had been a struggling team for nearly a decade.
• 0:34
  They were an expansion team in 1961 that replaced the original Senators that moved to Minnesota to become the twins,
• 0:40
  but they only had one winning season in the past 11 years.
• 0:43
  They were managed by Ted Williams, who gave them the only winning season in his first year's manager in 1969.
• 0:49
  But they were once again struggling, finishing in last place with 92 losses in 1970.
• 0:54
  They were still in the cellar entering this game with a 23 and 40 record.
• 0:58
  This audio recording is from the Baltimore Radio broadcast featuring announcers Chuck Thompson and Bill O'Donnell.
• 1:04
  In this battle of South Park, Jim Schellenback for the Senators and Grant Jackson for the Orioles,
• 1:08
  the Senators will bat in the following order.
• 1:10
  Unser will lead off, play right field.
• 1:12
  Batting number two, the third baseman, Dave Nelson.
• 1:15
  Another three-hitter will be five-powered, and he's out in left field.
• 1:18
  Batting four, the center fielder, and that is Elliott Maddox.
• 1:22
  The number five-hitter, first baseman, Don Nincure.
• 1:25
  Number six-hitter in the Washington order will be Paul Casanova.
• 1:29
  Batting seven at second base, Lenny Randall.
• 1:32
  The number eight-hitter is the shortstop, Tim Cullen, and the pitcher is Jim Schellenback.
• 1:37
  Just yet, will be the ball and strike down fire, and game number two with Dave Cullen at the first base, Larry Nasset second base, and Jerry Needekker at third.
• 1:45
  Well, Merv Retman stands in to lead off with the Orioles, who will be battling now to get a split here tonight in Washington.
• 1:50
  Now it's a pleasure to turn things over to our partner, Bill O'Donnell.
• 1:53
  Thank you, Chuck N. Good evening again, everybody.
• 1:55
  Let's get started now with game two in the left-hander, Schellenback, with a low-fast ball and winner away.
• 2:00
  One ball, no strikes, you're Retman.
• 2:02
  Dependently now in this second game with Schellenback, the Senators are using Nelson, third, Cullen, short, Randall, second, Minsher, first, and the outfield, how it Maddox pronounced it.
• 2:12
  Line drive, right field, and Retman starts quickly the second game with a line, base, shot, to right.
• 2:19
  And the reason why we shouldn't have a base hit this type of second game after 24 base hits in the first game.
• 2:26
  As a matter of fact, Chuck, in the last six ball games, the Orioles have had now 52 base hits.
• 2:35
  That's the four games of the anti-series, and the game last night here, and he's first to first game tonight.
• 2:41
  Here's Paul Blair, five hits in this series, and he swings and he fouls it off strike one.
• 2:46
  Retman with a lead off base, not against the South Pole Washington, Schellenback.
• 2:54
  Schellenback has started and also relieved this year.
• 3:00
  The slider can flow, one ball and one strike.
• 3:04
  Now Schellenback is what you would call primarily a junk man.
• 3:09
  He's got off speed breaking stuff, also throws a palm ball, and throws sneaky sliders.
• 3:17
  He's got a one-one counter work player.
• 3:19
  Here's a ground foul by third base coach, another one ball and two strikes.
• 3:24
  Going through this sixth game barrage of Oriole base hits.
• 3:29
  16 base hits last night, 15 base hits in the first game tonight.
• 3:34
  Then go back to the anti-series, he's got six hits in game one, 11 hits on Friday, 11 hits on Saturday, and nine hits on Sunday.
• 3:41
  Blair with a looping fly ball to right field, uncere coming on.
• 3:45
  Makes a one-handed grab, and Blair has been retired.
• 3:51
  Let's say a natural way the Oriole hitters are, you know, they're just hit happy about what has happened since the anti-series began.
• 3:58
  Here's Frank Robinson, he appeared in the opening ball game as the finch hitter.
• 4:04
  Frank came on with two runners on in an eight to six ball game, and they chop their knife and then they ground it into a fourth play for the final out of the opener.
• 4:14
  In the series, Frank is two for six.
• 4:17
  He hits a high pop of foul to the Washington dugout on the first base side, Mincher's there, Casanova there, and Mincher reaches in
• 4:25
  and then loses the ball as it drops into the Washington dugout.
• 4:29
  Mincher came right to the top step and reached in.
• 4:40
  And that's the first of two at Boston, they're now in the eighth inning, and the Indians enjoy a nine to three lead.
• 4:45
  Indians nine, Boston three.
• 4:47
  Again, they double-headed play the Saturday in the New York side, there's one the first game, seven to four,
• 4:51
  they get five on the ninth, the Yankees one the second, and two to one for Bunson.
• 4:55
  The next pitch to Frank, Robinson is outside.
• 4:59
  Frank Robinson flying first base in this night gap.
• 5:03
  Brooks Robinson is on down.
• 5:06
  Mincher at first base is holding on rettenmunt's lead.
• 5:09
  Shell and back, Gays in the first and delivers.
• 5:12
  He's on the inside corner, he gets strike two calls.
• 5:15
  Russ Getz is calling balls and strikes in the night gap with Jay Phillips at first, Larry Naff at second, and Jerry Newbetcher at third.
• 5:26
  One and two, that's the count we have right now to Frank Robinson.
• 5:29
  Shell and back, setting and dealing.
• 5:31
  Here's a ground ball foul down third.
• 5:34
  James Phillips, Shell and back.
• 5:37
  Born in Riverside, California, he is now a Floridian, resides in Fort Myers, and he's been around quite a while since 1962.
• 5:51
  Although he's been around since 62, he did not become a Major Leicester actually until 1966.
• 5:57
  One to the front, low inside, two balls and two strikes.
• 6:10
  In the opening ball game, in case you missed it, Washington used Geneseo Rizendo, Lin-Blad, came your little bird and chocked against the Orioles.
• 6:17
  There's an easy shot to first base and rettenmunt's back to the bag.
• 6:21
  Countering against at Washington staff, the bird's used play are Boswell, Holland, Rick, and Lin-Blad wanted.
• 6:27
  Boswell lost it.
• 6:29
  Load of Frank Robinson, three balls and two strikes.
• 6:39
  Frank batting 309, goes nine homers, 42 runs batted in.
• 6:44
  Rettenmunt short late against the Southfall look of Skillingback. He's a high fly ball in the shallow center, ranging back second base and Randall on the outfield grass.
• 6:54
  He keeps it in the glove and Frank Robinson he goes.
• 6:57
  Two away in the top of the first inning of game one, of game two.
• 7:01
  First game went to Washington, eighth to sixth.
• 7:04
  Here's Frank Robinson, he is two through seven in this series. He heard the playing five games as the total of the visit over here at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium.
• 7:15
  Then they continue their heavy schedule with four games in three days at Fenway Park beginning Friday night.
• 7:21
  There's a high drive in Sutterfield, Maddox, pacing in a couple of steps and Maddox puts it away.
• 7:28
  No runs, one hit, one left. In the middle of the first inning of the night, Orioles nothing and Washington is coming to bat.
• 7:38
  Well, we also are meeting with San Luis in the second game of the double header here, playing again Wednesday night, Thursday night.
• 7:43
  Then we get into Boston, but we'll be back home next Monday and Tuesday night when we host the second play of Detroit Tigers at the stadium.
• 7:50
  The game time will be eight o'clock, so please get into the game to be purchased from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the birds advanced sale window at Memorial Stadium Monday through Saturday.
• 7:59
  Grant Jackson making his first start for the Orioles.
• 8:02
  They'll answer the foul ball swinging outfield. It will step in against Jackson and we'll get right back to Bill.
• 8:07
  Alright, answer left hand batter against the fast-falling left arm of Grant Jackson.
• 8:12
  There's a high foul ball drifting behind the Oriole dugout.
• 8:16
  Ed Cabaran is masterminding Jackson the night gap with Brooks III, Belanger Short, Johnson at second base and Frank Robinson at first.
• 8:23
  And the night gap outfield has Mouten and left, Laren Center and Rettenund and right field.
• 8:33
  Jackson making his first American leg start and naturally his first start in the bird uniform.
• 8:38
  He's blown away from the left hand batting under one ball and one strike.
• 8:42
  And it has been rare this season in relief appearances that Jackson has not looked good.
• 8:47
  He's looked good just about every time now.
• 8:49
  One one now to answer. He runs up the bunch, changes his mind, but strike two is called on the outside corner.
• 8:55
  One and two to answer. He'll push the ball all around the outfield.
• 9:00
  On to be followed by Nelson and Howard in the Washington first inning. One and two by Jackson. And that's the outside. Two and two.
• 9:13
  On to batting two, 88. He had a hitting streak after the opener.
• 9:17
  On to the line foul over the Oriole dugout.
• 9:31
  Jackson to his motion, lines and throws. Outside corner, Spectre is called. He picked the corner with a good knee high fastball.
• 9:39
  So Jackson has a good start. A fan's under looking. And here's Nelson now, the third baseman.
• 9:47
  Nelson's got a good series four for nine.
• 9:54
  Nelson bats on the right side. Not too big a fellow. He'll be followed by a big man however, Mr. Howard. Strike one, belt high.
• 10:05
  Jackson, lean forward, now he'll rock back. He has a 0-1 delivery. Grounded to third, looked right on top of it.
• 10:12
  Looked Robinson over to Frank Robinson and two are gone in the Washington first inning.
• 10:17
  Hunter has kicked to strike three. Nelson has bounced to third. And now Frank Howard throws nine homers, 29 runs.
• 10:24
  He's batted in. Has three hits in the series, batting a 3-0-5.
• 10:34
  Howard bouncing back and forth now, waiting for Jackson's first six.
• 10:38
  Fastball line, right center field, and that's a Howard base six.
• 10:44
  But now both clubs begin the ball game with base knock from the first inning. One on, two down for Washington. Here's Elliott Maddox.
• 10:52
  Nelson a nice gap in center field, batting at 1-77.
• 11:05
  In the leading, Frank Robinson holds. Jackson looking and firing at foul the way at a play.
• 11:30
  Jackson not okay like Betzbarn's time. His next delivery is in the dirt. Betzbarn gives us a good save, digging it out of the dirt.
• 11:37
  One ball and one strike.
• 11:48
  Paul Frank Howard, battling as Frank Robinson holds in the first base. The 1-1 on the way. Bounce to fuel it. There's Vellanger with it. Grows to second.
• 12:00
  The 1-1 in the play. Orioles nothing and Washington nothing.
• 12:18
  Now, we're going to play in California and Milwaukee later on tonight and we may have a little information on that before we leave the air.
• 12:31
  Johnson, Curt Moten, Mark Vellanger, Rappel to second tonight. Showing back a one game winner. He has lost three this season with his 0-1 offering. Here's the ground ball back at third backhanded by Nelson. Long crawl.
• 12:46
  Here's the first half of the game. He played by the Washington third baseman, Nelson. Johnson retired and here's Moten. He played on the opening ball game as a pinch hitter during that Oriole ninth inning rally when he drew a walk.
• 13:00
  Moten batting at 1-11. Moten, the batter with the blade, Vellanger to follow. The winding shell and back and he closed. He closed low ball one.
• 13:21
  Shelling back as we told you has relieved. He's also started. He has started four ball games this year. High, two balls in this site.
• 13:40
  Shelling back goes to the puck and goes low. Three balls in this site. I'll tell you this Washington left hander, Shelling back, has had his share of misfortunes and injuries during his career.
• 13:54
  Moten way ahead on the scoreboard counted three balls in this site. One away, nobody on. That's low ball four. So Moten's been up twice now in the double header. Walked in the ninth inning of the opening and now walks in game two with one out in the top of the second inning.
• 14:10
  One on and one man out and here's Vellanger. He's got four hits in this series. Vellanger fourth and on. Began the double header batting at 2-94.
• 14:20
  Mint you to the bag and Moten leading. Low outside ball one.
• 14:32
  Against Vellanger both the shortstop Cullen and the second baseman Randall are playing half way. Now Cullen backs up a little bit more short.
• 14:40
  Vellanger one and oh. It's the strike at his latest. One ball and one strike.
• 14:46
  Orioles naturally saw their share of left handers in the first game. They look at Grisenda, Lynn Blad and Littlebird are all south course.
• 14:54
  And now this is Shelling back as the left hander started in the ninth half.
• 14:58
  Dealing one and one. Shelling back off the set. Ticks and fires in its fouls in the netting. One ball and two strikes.
• 15:12
  Vellanger trying to advance Moten. One gone top of the second inning. He'll be followed by Andy Etchibarren and then down to Jackson who's still back in the dugout.
• 15:18
  Moten extensively. There's a high pop up in the Washington infield right around the mouth. Charging first baseman Mintcher. In far the mouth Mintcher for out number two.
• 15:29
  Vellanger has popped up and here's Andy Etchibarren.
• 15:36
  Hendricks was the first game starter back of the plate. Etchibarren came on later in the ballgame as a pinch hitter and then stayed on the ballgame back of the plate.
• 15:46
  Andy batting 233. He's got a home run plus six runs at an end.
• 15:54
  Jackson has yet to come out on deck. Moten pretty good lead against the left hander. Just a foul right back.
• 16:06
  Don't forget now the next time you'll see the Orioles in person next Monday night and those Tigers coming down for two ballgames Monday at eight and Tuesday at eight.
• 16:19
  The one tracker to Andy. He fouled it again to the screen so he's down and suited to Schellenbach.
• 16:31
  Schellenbach really is not a power pitcher as we mentioned he's more of a junk variety. He'll give you the fastball once in a while but he likes to throw sliders and curves and then his changeup will be with that pawn ball.
• 16:45
  And he does. And I'm going to miss a breaking ball. That's the first strikeout for Schellenbach and number three at the end of an inning and a half in Game 2.
• 16:56
  Orioles nothing. Senators nothing.
• 17:06
  Phil and I are hopeful of being able to report on some national games tonight,
• 17:09
  such as for Mets and Pittsburgh, Montreal and McLeod,
• 17:12
  Asclelebelty and Cincinnati.
• 17:14
  However, Houston will be out in San Diego,
• 17:16
  and then there are two other West Coast games with the Cardinals in Los Angeles
• 17:19
  and the Clubs in San Francisco.
• 17:21
  In the bottom of the second, Dom Ninture fouling off Jacks and first,
• 17:25
  Fitzsill are underway in the bottom of the second,
• 17:26
  and then Ninture, Casanova and Reimers.
• 17:29
  We'll be the first three batters.
• 17:31
  Coralus in the bottom of inning two, left-hander against left-hander, breaking stuff low outside.
• 17:38
  One ball, one strike to Ninture.
• 17:40
  Ninture had a big towering home run while up in the first game.
• 17:43
  He's got the five homers, 16 runs batted in.
• 17:46
  Next hit by Jackson is low.
• 17:49
  Two balls and one strike.
• 17:58
  Two-one on the way by Jackson to Ninture.
• 18:00
  Check the swing and the pitch is low.
• 18:02
  Three balls and one strike.
• 18:09
  Now, Jackson likes to work rapidly.
• 18:11
  He doesn't work as fast to stay upon her, but he does work quickly,
• 18:14
  so Ninture slowed him down and moved out of the batter's box.
• 18:17
  Three-and-one strike that came buzzing and nipping on the outside corner.
• 18:22
  So, Jackson and Ninture have Jockey beat out the three-and-two.
• 18:26
  Here it is.
• 18:27
  High pop-up into shallow left-sector.
• 18:30
  Here's Belanger back-taddling right there.
• 18:32
  Belanger for the put-out.
• 18:34
  And, okay, we'd like to pause for station identification.
• 18:38
  This is the Baltimore Oriole baseball network.
• 18:40
  This is Bob Jones saying that if you want to keep in form, Don Berry will do it.
• 18:45
  He downs the fourth regularly on radio 11, WBAL in Baltimore.
• 18:51
  With Charles Kent-Solike-Bill, Paul Casanova, the Washington Chastain,
• 18:55
  he set out the first game, Billings did the job back at a plate.
• 18:59
  Inside low, and Casanova has to jump up with that rear foot.
• 19:03
  Casanova played last night.
• 19:05
  He went once for four.
• 19:07
  Against the late, he's batting 225.
• 19:09
  Casanova three-homers, 16-rims out and in.
• 19:11
  He's played the pull over to West.
• 19:13
  Kings and doesn't get an outside fastball.
• 19:17
  One ball and one strike.
• 19:30
  One-on-one, coming into Paul Casanova.
• 19:32
  Change up, line foul, way out to left field.
• 19:36
  Casanova in one sense was pulled.
• 19:38
  He was pulled by Jackson's motion.
• 19:40
  He was lunging, but just controlled the bat enough,
• 19:43
  and he pulled a shot deep to left on the foul ball.
• 19:46
  One into the Casanova, Randall will follow.
• 19:50
  Jackson ahead and dealing.
• 19:53
  Clinging a miss, he got him on a knee-high fastball.
• 19:55
  So two strikeouts by Grant Jackson,
• 19:58
  and two away in the Washington half of the second inning.
• 20:00
  Here's Lenny Randall, the second baseman.
• 20:04
  Now Randall, a little fellow, he's built around the,
• 20:06
  no, around the same size as the Dell Unsee.
• 20:10
  He might be even a little bit smaller than Don Buford.
• 20:14
  But not built, however, as strongly as Buford.
• 20:19
  He flings, fouls it off, loses the bat.
• 20:21
  It's right over the Oriole dugout, and back about four rows,
• 20:25
  and a box-tie patron has the brand-new bat.
• 20:29
  Now normally what they'll do is return the bat to the field,
• 20:32
  back to Randall, bring a bat out of the Washington dugout,
• 20:35
  and give the customer a new bat.
• 20:40
  Randall just completely lost the grip on the bat
• 20:42
  when he fouled off that pitch.
• 20:45
  A fellow you see that do that quite often,
• 20:48
  and you've seen it, I'm sure, in Baltimore,
• 20:50
  maybe seen it on television.
• 20:52
  You see a Sonya Levin do that quite often.
• 20:56
  Well, the young fellow doesn't want to give up the bat.
• 20:58
  Matter of fact, he's going to start to run out of the ballpark.
• 21:03
  Now normally, normally, and he's being stopped,
• 21:08
  and I'm sure the youngster's going to get a bat some way.
• 21:12
  He'll try to get the bat back to the dugout
• 21:14
  and bring another one out.
• 21:16
  With a fling in the mix.
• 21:19
  He's a little bit...
• 21:22
  0-2, that's the counter-randall.
• 21:25
  And the next delivery.
• 21:26
  Line to center field, here's player coming on.
• 21:28
  He can't get to it, and Randall with a line single.
• 21:37
  Went on two-way, that's tip number two against Jackson.
• 21:40
  Both Washington base dots have come after two or gone.
• 21:43
  Howard got his last hit, and now Randall is in it.
• 21:47
  Here's Tim Cullen, a shortstop in the eighth-bathroom yard.
• 21:53
  Chuck got been watching Jackson and Cullen.
• 21:56
  What's gone on?
• 21:57
  Apparently the problem was the youngster who grabbed the bat
• 21:59
  did not have a ticket for that seat,
• 22:01
  and the spectator who did have the ticket
• 22:03
  has been given the bat.
• 22:04
  The runner is breaking, and here's a high fly.
• 22:06
  Left center field, Blair is right there,
• 22:09
  and he radars it and makes the foot out of the side as we say.
• 22:12
  No run to base hit, and one left at the end of two.
• 22:15
  It's the Orioles nothing, and Washington nothing.
• 22:20
  Well, Bill, another first in Oriole broadcast.
• 22:23
  This will be the first time in 71 that we've seen
• 22:25
  Grant Jackson swing the bat.
• 22:27
  He's been in nine ball games, has never been to the plate,
• 22:29
  but he has scheduled to be the leadoff hitter
• 22:31
  here in this top of the third inning
• 22:33
  to be followed by Merz Rettenman,
• 22:35
  and then Paul Blair.
• 22:37
  Well, Chuck, Grant Jackson like a McNally,
• 22:40
  who throws left handed but bat right handed.
• 22:42
  Jackson against the Schillin back,
• 22:44
  and we've got an unusual start to this second game,
• 22:47
  where Scorla's after two innings.
• 22:49
  Here's a ground ball to the club side of the shortstop.
• 22:51
  Cullen digs it out and throws out Grant Jackson.
• 22:54
  One pitch begins at the top of the third.
• 22:56
  Jackson grabbing up Cullen to venture,
• 22:58
  and now the Merz Rettenman.
• 23:01
  Merz single to begin the ball game.
• 23:11
  In the first few innings of the first game,
• 23:15
  we had a total of six.
• 23:17
  We have nine base hits.
• 23:19
  Production is way down here in the second game.
• 23:21
  Only three base hits.
• 23:24
  Bass is empty in one away.
• 23:26
  Cullen backs the south ball to Merz.
• 23:28
  He's high off speed curve at ball one.
• 23:31
  Nelson, the third baseman,
• 23:33
  kind of smelling something.
• 23:35
  He was charging up the third base foul line into the grass.
• 23:38
  Merz moved out of the batter's box
• 23:40
  and glanced for another sign from third base coach.
• 23:43
  Inside, two balls in those strikes.
• 23:47
  Together with Chuck Johnson,
• 23:49
  Bill O'Donnell, very delighted to be with you
• 23:51
  from the nation's capital tonight,
• 23:53
  all along the Oriole Radio Network.
• 23:55
  The first player down the middle strike is called
• 23:58
  two balls in one strike.
• 24:07
  Cullen back, working Merz.
• 24:09
  Two-in-one right now,
• 24:11
  fouled off the chef's protector of play-dump player Russ Kess.
• 24:16
  I guess this gentleman is no longer around,
• 24:19
  but maybe somebody on our radio audience would know,
• 24:23
  he was the man years ago who invented his chef's protector.
• 24:26
  Whomever he was, he saved a lot of people.
• 24:29
  Off speed curve, chop to short.
• 24:31
  Cullen must hurry his throw.
• 24:33
  He gets it there just in time.
• 24:35
  Because of the throw chopper and the quick seed of Redmond,
• 24:39
  Cullen had a hurry his throw and got it there to mentor.
• 24:42
  So two are out.
• 24:44
  Here's Paul Blair.
• 24:46
  Here's Paul Blair, five for eleven in the series.
• 24:49
  He's flying to right field in the first inning.
• 24:52
  Blair's been on a pretty good hitting pair since early in June.
• 24:59
  Swings and foul tips it off the chef's protector of the catcher this time.
• 25:11
  One strike to Blair,
• 25:13
  swinging away here on the top of the third with two men out.
• 25:16
  Off speed curve, foul straight back.
• 25:21
  Cullen's back doing a lot of mixing with his pitches.
• 25:23
  As we said, he doesn't have the overpowering fastball,
• 25:26
  but he'll use that fastball and mix it between sliders and curves
• 25:30
  and off speed curves.
• 25:32
  On to with two guys, low fastball inside.
• 25:36
  One ball, two strikes.
• 25:38
  Blair the batter and Frank Robinson is on deck.
• 25:45
  One two by Cullen back.
• 25:47
  Ground foul to the Oriole dugout.
• 25:51
  Well in case you missed a slam bang,
• 25:53
  freeze swinging first ball game,
• 25:55
  it went away of the Senators eight to six.
• 25:58
  And as you so often heard and it was true in the first ball game,
• 26:01
  the game was not decided until the final out
• 26:04
  because the birds had to tie around the board.
• 26:06
  Another foul, this one back of the plate.
• 26:09
  Blair hanging tough at one ball, two strikes against Cullen back.
• 26:16
  Cullen back just fingers up the Ryzen back quickly.
• 26:23
  He's ready to deal.
• 26:25
  Wines and works one and two.
• 26:27
  Ground ball deep at third and off the glove of Nelson.
• 26:29
  From fair ground, it rolls into foul ground
• 26:31
  and Blair has a base hit off the glove of Nelson.
• 26:35
  No, he doesn't have a base hit, it's an error.
• 26:38
  Nelson charged with an error on a ground smash,
• 26:41
  back a third, he back handed it, got the glove on it,
• 26:44
  bounced off the glove, then rolled across the foul line.
• 26:47
  So Blair's safe on an error with two outs
• 26:49
  and Frank Robinson coming up.
• 26:59
  With two away, Minsher does the holding job on Blair's lead.
• 27:04
  Off feed outside ball one,
• 27:06
  Frank flies the center in the first inning.
• 27:14
  Cullen back now, flows down, relaxes,
• 27:16
  thinks, reaches down, picks up the Ryzen back.
• 27:21
  He's one of those picks.
• 27:23
  Low two balls and no strikes.
• 27:36
  Two men out, one man aboard and no score on the top of the third.
• 27:39
  Frank Robinson, ground ball right back to the mound.
• 27:42
  Stabbed by Cullen back, throws out Frank Robinson.
• 27:45
  In the middle of the third inning of the night,
• 27:47
  the Orioles nothing, watching to nothing.
• 27:53
  Well the annual Independence Day fireworks display,
• 27:55
  sponsored by the Greater Northeast Baltimore Association,
• 27:57
  will be held in Memorial City on Monday, July the 5th.
• 28:00
  Gates open on the 5th at 6.30 p.m.
• 28:03
  Admission is a dollar for adults and 50 cents for children.
• 28:06
  Chuck we're breathing right along in a snappy second game.
• 28:09
  Here's Cullen back starting an off he's worked low by Jackson.
• 28:13
  Jackson gets the strike down the middle, one ball and one strike.
• 28:17
  Jim Cullen back, then the top of the order that means uncereplous Nelson.
• 28:21
  Jackson with his one one, swinging in a miss, one ball and two strikes.
• 28:28
  Cullen back, cuts just as he froze, back from the left side.
• 28:32
  Jackson has moved ahead one and two, kicking and dealing.
• 28:35
  In the best two balls and two strikes.
• 28:43
  Jackson coming back quickly to Cullen back, swing and a strikeout.
• 28:48
  And that's the third strikeout for Grant Jackson tonight.
• 28:53
  One away on the bottom of the third, now to the top of the order and uncereplous.
• 28:57
  Uncereplous looked at strike three to begin the bottom of the first inning.
• 29:04
  Coming into the double header, Uncere was enjoying a seven game hitting streak.
• 29:09
  And he had been on quite a hitting tear the last six to seven ball game.
• 29:14
  Breaking ball though outside ball one.
• 29:20
  One ball, no strikes to the left hand swinging, Uncereplous, Nelson beyond deckman.
• 29:25
  Uncere sends a line foul out to a left, one ball and one strike.
• 29:38
  Mowson does not play back at all deep and left nor does Blair and DeLet's center.
• 29:42
  Matter of fact they play uncereplous shallow.
• 29:44
  Ground ball to the short stuff, Bellanger on top of it and a good Bellanger arm attires Uncere.
• 29:52
  Two away in the bottom of the third and here's Dave Nelson.
• 29:59
  Nelson bounced out, Brooks from third to Frank Robinson in the opening inning.
• 30:12
  Jackson begins his wind-up and works the outside corner for strike one call.
• 30:19
  Jackson working right from the third base out of the rubber.
• 30:22
  He started to wind, Nelson wasn't ready and thought he might be quick fit.
• 30:26
  All right, Owen Warren.
• 30:28
  Line drive, they hit right field, a two out single by Nelson.
• 30:33
  So Washington has had the same pattern now for the first three innings against Jackson.
• 30:37
  All bases have come after two are gone.
• 30:39
  Howard had a two out single in the first, Randall a two out base hit in the second,
• 30:44
  and now Nelson a two out base hit here in the third.
• 30:47
  Frank Howard turn again and the Orioles will jam the left side of the infield.
• 30:52
  They'll play Johnson the second baseman to the short shot side of the bag and back deep.
• 30:57
  Frank Robinson in first base and holding on Nelson.
• 31:02
  So there's all the room now between second and first.
• 31:07
  Two gone on a board, inside in low ball one.
• 31:12
  Howard rarely goes to right field and he's played the pull by the outfielders in left and center.
• 31:19
  Deleted first by Nelson, back he goes on Jackson's move that way.
• 31:28
  Howard on Grant Jackson's one-oh.
• 31:31
  It's a fly ball to right field, here's Retton on giving it a long run,
• 31:34
  he's coming to the foul line and makes the catch just about two feet inside the right field foul line on the warning track.
• 31:41
  Howard the third out and three innings are now in the books in the nice catch,
• 31:44
  the score, all the more nothing and Washington nothing.
• 31:47
  Final just in from Boston and the Indians defeated the Red Sox nine to three in the first to two.
• 31:52
  National League scores, Met's Pirates no score at the end of two, Montreal, Atlanta no score after many and a half,
• 31:57
  Philadelphia Cincinnati no score inning and a half.
• 32:00
  And no score after three, here's Brooke Robinson sending a showering fly left center field.
• 32:05
  And the center field are Maddox and the left center for the put out.
• 32:09
  One gone in the top of the fourth inning.
• 32:15
  Believe it or not, Robert Ripley said many years ago, scoreless in the top of the fourth inning.
• 32:22
  Dave Johnson is up, he was robbed of what might have been abased on a fine fielding fly on a ground ball by third baseman Nelson in the second inning.
• 32:36
  Dave Johnson batting in 293, sent out game one, he is hitless in the series.
• 32:41
  Inside ball one.
• 32:50
  Motten to bat after Johnson and the 1-0.
• 32:53
  Fly ball, well tagged, deep left center, Maddox on a long run, still going, he won't get to it.
• 32:57
  It hops off the fence.
• 32:59
  Here's Johnson going to second base and he stays there with a long double, one hopping off the fence in left center.
• 33:05
  For Johnson who incidentally leads the club in two baggers, that's his 13th double of the year.
• 33:13
  So Johnson halfway home in a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning.
• 33:18
  And the batter is Curt Motten.
• 33:26
  The Orioles the second base hit and the first hit since Rettenman delivered to begin the ball game.
• 33:36
  Johnson looking right through the middle of the infield from second base, looking right into Motten saying, I'm sure to himself pick me up guys.
• 33:43
  One on, one gone, Blanches beyond deck man.
• 33:47
  Here is a strike to Motten.
• 33:58
  Shelling back, setting up, set to the belt.
• 34:01
  He's in a dirt and inside, one ball and one strike.
• 34:05
  No run, two hits for the birds in the top of the fourth inning, no runs and three hits for Washington.
• 34:11
  Left handers dueling scoreless at the end of three innings.
• 34:16
  Handle the second baseman trying to drive Johnson closer to the bag as he leads away.
• 34:20
  Low to charge again, two balls and one strike.
• 34:42
  He's in the dirt again, three and one.
• 34:49
  Motten now finding out from third base coach, should I swing, should I take on three and one?
• 34:58
  Johnson's lead at second base.
• 35:00
  Now three and one, it's five, two calls, bell time. Three balls, two strikes to Motten, one aboard, one out.
• 35:16
  Shelling back, straightens up, set, delivers three and two.
• 35:20
  Ground ball over the mound near second base, Johnson goes to third.
• 35:23
  Randall feels and the second baseman throws out Motten.
• 35:26
  The ground ball is a hit too high over Shelling back, said for the pitcher to grab, but Randall got to it in front of second base.
• 35:33
  On the infield ground ball, Johnson moves to third and that'll bring up the land here.
• 35:51
  Chuck and I have talked for years and we're mighty happy to have talked in these terms about the stellar, outstanding and almost unbelievable fielding plays of the Brookford-Albenton.
• 36:00
  But here's the young man who's done an equally good job here in 1971.
• 36:05
  Bellanger thrown low, ball won.
• 36:07
  And Bellanger of course also doing the outstanding job thus far with the back.
• 36:11
  Bellanger's at 294.
• 36:16
  One-oh-by Shelling back out of a full wind-up. It's popped up into shallow right center, on comes Uncet.
• 36:22
  And Uncet, a shallow right center, makes the put-out.
• 36:25
  In the top of the fourth inning, no runs, one hit, Johnson stranded to third base.
• 36:29
  At the end of three and a half, it's kill the Orioles, nothing, and Washington, nothing.
• 36:34
  For the cooperation of the science staff at WBAL Radio, here's the latest score we have in the National League.
• 36:39
  Third inning, Mets and Pirates scoreless, second inning, Montreal, Atlanta scoreless,
• 36:44
  second inning, Philadelphia and Cincinnati are scoreless.
• 36:48
  As we are in Washington in the bottom of the fourth inning, Elliott Matic, butting to the mound.
• 36:52
  Jackson field, hurries to throw and save at first base is Matic.
• 36:58
  Matic who has burning speed just beats the throw off his front by pitcher Jackson who was about 10 feet in front of the mound.
• 37:06
  I saw Palms down at first base and now Phillips has called out on Matic.
• 37:13
  Phillips put the Palms down and he must have come up, so Matic has been thrown out by Jackson.
• 37:23
  Matic's retired one away and here is Menscher.
• 37:26
  A breaking ball is outside.
• 37:30
  One ball, no strike to Menscher who's five to center in the second inning.
• 37:36
  Strike is on the outside corner.
• 37:38
  So the bang bang play between Matic and Jackson, Jackson has thrown out Matic.
• 37:44
  So one one delivery, sidearm, low fastball outside, two balls and one strike.
• 37:52
  Two and one by the winding Jackson, strike on the outside corner, two balls and two strikes.
• 38:04
  Two to around the way. Ground ball wide a third in the hole.
• 38:08
  Belanger, long throw, it is knocked in time.
• 38:14
  Menscher hit a ground ball to the opposite side.
• 38:17
  It was past the glove side of Brooks Robinson.
• 38:19
  Belanger was coming behind Brooks, was right back deep in the hole in front of the outfield grass.
• 38:24
  Got his throw to Frank Robinson, but late as Menscher beats the throw.
• 38:31
  So the infield base hit to short by Menscher has him at first base with one away.
• 38:36
  Senators have had a base hit in every inning.
• 38:39
  The other hit call came with two out and now Menscher gets his with one away in the bottom of the fourth inning.
• 38:44
  Ball Casanova is up, a line drive to right field, hits a base hit to the corner.
• 38:48
  Here's Menscher turning second, he's on his way to third.
• 38:51
  Menscher's held up a third and Casanova pulls in with a two-bagger.
• 38:56
  So the Senators were their first rally of the night, they have runners stationed at second and third.
• 39:01
  Menscher's third on Casanova's two-bagger and they'll bring up Lenny Randall.
• 39:09
  The last two Washington batters here on the fourth inning have just gone to the opposite field for base hit.
• 39:15
  Menscher the left-hander, a ground hit to the left side, and now Casanova a right-hand batter, a double out to right field.
• 39:23
  Frank Robinson has case to the mound, Etcheveron has also walked to the mound to talk with Grant Jackson.
• 39:31
  So Jackson in his first struggling test of the night, he has Menscher a third.
• 39:36
  Casanova back at him at second with first base open, Randall will be intentionally lost.
• 39:42
  That'll bring up Cullen.
• 39:44
  Here's Ball too wide to Lenny Randall.
• 39:52
  Cuenot and the third wide one.
• 39:58
  Three balls, no strike. Randall in the process of being intentionally passed and there is Ball four.
• 40:09
  That is Jackson's first walk of the night.
• 40:12
  Matter of fact, all season long while we're talking about walks, Jackson in release has had outstanding control.
• 40:19
  Here's Cullen now batting and with Washington loading the bases against Jackson in the bottom of the fourth inning,
• 40:26
  the bird bullpen gets busy with Tom Duke.
• 40:30
  Jackson's longest release since this season was two in a plus back in late May against the Indians with the bases loaded.
• 40:39
  He's pitching to Tim Cullen.
• 40:41
  So it's an infield pop up and the infield and the infield flyer was in effect as Johnson makes the catch behind the mound.
• 40:50
  Outnumber two recorded as Cullen skies to Johnson.
• 40:57
  That'll bring up pictures.
• 40:58
  Shelling back.
• 40:59
  Menscher a third, Casanova at second and Randall at first base and two men out.
• 41:08
  Cullen back was struck out by Jackson last inning.
• 41:12
  Jackson winding, delivers, loads of Cullen back ball one.
• 41:16
  Washington runners at every spot.
• 41:18
  Menscher third, Casanova second, Randall first.
• 41:21
  Menscher had the one out single, Casanova double and the intentional pass to Randall.
• 41:26
  The one and only two men out.
• 41:28
  Strike is called at the knees of Cullen back.
• 41:33
  Jackson wasting no time, he wants to get out of this fourth inning without any damage.
• 41:38
  He's winding the Cullen back one and one.
• 41:41
  Strike outside corner at the knees.
• 41:48
  Cullen back has stepped out.
• 41:49
  Jackson is ready to fire.
• 41:51
  Now Cullen back is back inside.
• 41:53
  Bases loaded, two men out.
• 41:55
  Strollers ball game bottom of the fourth inning.
• 41:57
  A round with his left arm and coming in one and two.
• 42:00
  Jackson is low outside.
• 42:02
  Two balls and two strikes.
• 42:07
  Jackson taking a deep breath.
• 42:09
  Now he leans forward to get Etch-a-Darn to weight wagging.
• 42:11
  Andy is sitting to the outside corner on the two-two at a Cullen back.
• 42:14
  It's low, three balls, two strikes, bases loaded and two men out and everybody will start to move.
• 42:22
  Now Etch-a-Darn is reminding Jackson, look you've been taking the full wind up,
• 42:26
  but now with three balls and two strikes and two out on the bases loaded,
• 42:30
  he has killed Jackson to go to a strike motion.
• 42:35
  Jackson does that.
• 42:37
  Here's his three-two pitch.
• 42:38
  Strike three, he gets out of it.
• 42:40
  He burned the fastball right by Cullen back who gave it the three.
• 42:44
  At the end of four and in.
• 42:46
  Baltimore nothing, Washington nothing.
• 42:51
  Well a courageous fit of pitching in the part of Grant Jackson to get him out of a nasty mess
• 42:54
  in the bottom of the fourth inning.
• 42:56
  The Orioles ready to come out on the side of the fifth.
• 42:58
  When they step in, we step out for a station break.
• 43:00
  This is the Baltimore Orioles baseball network.
• 43:03
  Grandside speaking, urging you to be fully informed on what's going on in the world.
• 43:07
  Here comes Jackson's new cast on Radio 11 WDAL Baltimore.
• 43:14
  To do batter against the South Park Cullen back, as the Orioles come out of the eighth inning,
• 43:18
  in the top of the fifth inning will be Andy Etch-a-Darn and Cullen back has held the Orioles to the two-base fifth.
• 43:24
  The double by Johnson, the leadoff single by Reppemann and here we go to the top of the fifth and back to Bill.
• 43:28
  And we go with Andy Etch-a-Darn, Chuck then Grant Jackson and Merv Reppemann.
• 43:33
  Now we haven't had a ball game like this for quite a few days.
• 43:36
  Scorlist on the top of the fifth inning.
• 43:38
  Load Andy Etch-a-Darn.
• 43:40
  We did have a ball game somewhat like this to begin the Yankee series.
• 43:45
  We had a one-one tie until a tie-breaking home run by L. Rod Henry.
• 43:50
  And a missed tie at the back. One ball and one strike.
• 43:55
  That was the third the opener to the Yankee series when the ball game was tied one-one
• 43:59
  and then Hendricks sang the two-run homer in the sixth inning.
• 44:04
  Two hits for the bird, five hits for the Senators and Scorlist in the fifth inning.
• 44:08
  Here's the ground ball back to the mound, fielded by Cullen back.
• 44:11
  His throw in plenty of time to venture and there's one gone in the top of the fifth inning.
• 44:17
  Here's Grant Jackson now. He was up in the third and grounded out, short to first.
• 44:24
  The Orioles hit thus far, have been by Reppemann to the first inning and by Johnson in the fourth.
• 44:29
  Johnson's base knock with a deep two-bagger descent.
• 44:34
  Jackson runs up to Bunt and doesn't get it, strike one.
• 44:45
  Cullen back, winding and fires, swinging and a miss and a low-breaking ball.
• 44:49
  0-2 to Grant Jackson.
• 44:55
  Jackson stands right to the front of the box.
• 44:58
  Jackson now is showing his bat to play dump-fire Russ Getz and Jackson may be asking for a new piece of lumber.
• 45:05
  He is. He's taken a bat from Merv Reppemann.
• 45:08
  Merv was waving a bat on deck. Jackson was just not satisfied with the bat he was using.
• 45:14
  And he walked over to Merv and took Merv's bat.
• 45:17
  0-2.
• 45:19
  Low, one ball and two strikes.
• 45:27
  Cullen back, uncorking his 1-2 delivery in the dirt and inside. Two balls, two strikes.
• 45:33
  Jackson batting in the top of the fifth inning. Senators won the first game, 8-6.
• 45:38
  And this ball game, the second one is scoreless with one down in the top of the fifth.
• 45:43
  2-2 coming in.
• 45:45
  Outside, three balls, two strikes.
• 45:55
  Cullen back as he's done quite a bit in this ball game as Rates back, singered up on the Rosenberg.
• 46:01
  His money deal right here to Jackson.
• 46:03
  Plain strikeout.
• 46:05
  That's the second strikeout tonight by Jim Cullen back.
• 46:09
  And the leadoff man Reppemann with a base hit and he's round to the shore.
• 46:25
  Cullen back working to Merv. Low inside, ball one.
• 46:33
  Orioles in Washington, here tomorrow night. Here Thursday night, both single games.
• 46:37
  And then we move on to Beantown Friday night.
• 46:41
  Saturday night, double header Saturday, single game, Sunday. Strike one, call to Merv.
• 46:46
  One ball and one strike.
• 46:48
  Cullen back, back again. Here he comes, one and one. He goes off speed and outside.
• 46:59
  Three balls and one strike.
• 47:10
  Cullen back into his motion. He's inside low. Three balls and one strike.
• 47:16
  Reppemann batting 272. Merv's got two homers, 22 runs batted in.
• 47:24
  Three balls and one strike. Cullen back.
• 47:29
  Sealivers. Bow ball back out of play.
• 47:35
  3 and 2 to Reppemann. That's the cow with the bases empty in the top of the fifth inning and two men out.
• 47:43
  In the single game here tomorrow night, it will be Jim Palmer against Dick Bosman.
• 47:48
  A doula right-hander as Palmer goes after his chance win. Then McNally against Brown Thursday night.
• 47:55
  3 and 2. Fly ball well tagged. Keeps to left field and this is going to be a Merv Reppemann homerun.
• 48:03
  Number three for Reppemann and that puts the Orioles ahead. One to nothing.
• 48:14
  Third that free base hit down a nice gap and that's number two for Reppemann.
• 48:20
  The first inning single and now the solo four-bagger with two gone here in the top of the sixth inning.
• 48:25
  They'll get the Orioles out of hit now. One to nothing and bring up Paul Blair.
• 48:30
  Blair slides to right and safe on an infield error.
• 48:33
  Swings and doesn't get a high set ball. So one striker by the South Park.
• 48:45
  He goes off speed and plate. One ball in one strike.
• 48:57
  To the wind up, Shellenback against Blair. One and one off speed and outside. Two balls in one strike.
• 49:08
  Shellenback scuffing a bit at the rubber again reaching back to that Rousenbag.
• 49:12
  He's in his wind up. Two and one. South break back. Two balls, two strikes and two men out.
• 49:20
  After four scoreless innings, the long home run wallop deep to left by Reppemann has snapped the scoreless side.
• 49:33
  Blair on the Shellenback, two to pitch. Bows it back behind the plate.
• 49:39
  Blair now has requested time. He's looking at his left hand. He might have,
• 49:45
  it's kind of tough to figure what might have happened. He might have maybe split a nail on the left hand.
• 49:51
  He's being looked at right around the Oriole Batrack. Although we are screened from the actual location,
• 49:57
  I would assume he's being looked at by both manager Earl Weaver and trainer Ralph Salvon.
• 50:05
  Blair is holding the bat in his right hand and whatever is bothering him is on his left hand.
• 50:12
  Blair has been worked on now by Ralph Salvon and Blair now ready to go again against Shellenback.
• 50:25
  Two to pitch coming right in. Sal to the screen.
• 50:29
  As Blair just fouled off that pitch, he was holding the bat again in his left hand and shaking his right hand.
• 50:43
  Two to her once again to Blair. Ground ball back of third, backhanded neatly by Nelson.
• 50:48
  Grills out Blair. Another nifty fielding play by the Washington third baseman, Retires of the Star.
• 50:54
  But the Orioles' Gill ahead on the two on home run by Merv Ratanon and in the middle of the ball game, the score,
• 50:59
  the Orioles won and Washington nothing.
• 51:12
  Well we're ready to go to the bottom of the fifth inning and Chuck Thompson is ready.
• 51:16
  Thank you very much Bill. Good evening again everybody. Here is a strike call to Dell Hunters.
• 51:20
  We start the last half of the fifth inning. Unser 0-2 against Grant Jackson.
• 51:24
  Pilepsy deals right over the outside corner of the letters and two strikes now to the left hand swinging.
• 51:28
  Unser, this is the first start of 71 for Grant Jackson.
• 51:33
  He was supposed to have started a couple of games earlier this year.
• 51:36
  Got rained out every time. Strike three call. Three of them right about in the same area over the outer edge of the plate.
• 51:42
  One of them might have been about bell hide. The last one looked like it was up around the letters and Jackson knocked his strike out.
• 51:47
  Number five.
• 51:53
  One down and here now Dave Nelson. He's been out on the ground ball to Brooks III and then drilled a single to right field in the third inning.
• 51:59
  Right handed swingers straight away stance cut in a foul up the screen. Strike one today and he also contributed a couple of fine defensive plays down there at the hot corner.
• 52:11
  What a difference between two ball games. The first game was a wide open freeze swinging free scoring affair.
• 52:18
  Senators one at eight to six. Strike two call. Mr. Jackson is full of strikes right now.
• 52:24
  0-2 to the right hand batting Nelson.
• 52:28
  Jackson to his move the two strike pitch. Breaking ball hit on a line toward the second base from Johnson.
• 52:33
  He grubs his right off the shoe top and Nelson is the second out of the inning on the line drive to second base from Johnson.
• 52:40
  And here's the huge man. Mr. Frank Howard.
• 52:43
  Single the right center of the first inning. Slide to the right field of retina who made a cross country job to catch up with us live off in the third.
• 52:51
  And again the Orioles will jam the third base side of the infield with three infielders.
• 52:56
  That leaves Frank Robinson all along on the first base side.
• 53:01
  Jackson's move is pitch to Frank Howard. A fastball is outside and low ball on.
• 53:08
  What kind of thought run through a pitcher's mind when he stands out there 60 feet six inches away from the man this guy.
• 53:14
  The pitch. High fly ball deep right center. Retman and Blair are coming over out of the ball.
• 53:19
  Retman and Blair are there and Blair makes the catch.
• 53:27
  Here is Frank Robinson against Jim Schellenback. I'm the southpaw's first offering is low inside ball one.
• 53:32
  Frank's guide to center field will not pitch you to first. Oh for two and six for two coming in tonight's game against Washington.
• 53:39
  A line drive on the alley in left center field is going to be in for the base.
• 53:42
  Rushing over to cut it off is Elliott Maddox and Frank Robinson starts the Orioles sixth inning with a line shot on the alley in left center.
• 53:49
  That'll bring out Brooks Robinson. He has twice hit the ball of center fielder Elliott Maddox.
• 53:56
  These two clubs have played two games now on the third of the five game series and in the first two games they scored 23 runs and that 49 base hit.
• 54:05
  I don't know what happened to this ball game. It's one to nothing Baltimore and only nine hits. The pitch.
• 54:10
  High fly ball right field way racing over the second baseman Randall in foul ground now Randall is staying with him and makes the catch.
• 54:17
  Looks Robinson first ball hitting fouls to the second baseman Randall down behind the first base.
• 54:35
  And about an hour will be Dave Johnson with one out and Frank Robinson at first base. Johnson was retired in a good play by third baseman Dave Nelson in the second inning
• 54:45
  and then he drilled a double in the alley in left center. Dave says Mr. Empire take a look at that baseball gets looked at it.
• 54:51
  It's OK and returns it to Schellenbach as Bill has told you in the baseball terminology. Here's a quick throw to first base.
• 55:00
  Schellenbach is sometimes referred to as a junk baller but he also will use the fastball and he stops it occasionally and does not try to throw it really for strikes.
• 55:09
  He just tries to get you to chase it. The pitch today is low with a fastball ball one but he has a pretty good assortment of breaking stuff.
• 55:19
  Not too many years ago this fellow was in a terrible automobile accident made felt that he would never play baseball again.
• 55:26
  But he fooled him. Though one nothing today. Swing and a miss at the off speed pitch.
• 55:35
  Give you an idea of the injuries this fellow sustained. He had suffered a compound fracture of the right leg rib fracture sprained left wrist tongue lacerations and internal injuries and made it back.
• 55:46
  The one one pitch today Johnson inside and low ball to Frank Robinson open the inning with a single left center. He's there at first base with one away.
• 55:59
  Frank walks out a pretty good lead against the left hand looks of Jim Schellenbach. The stuff by the South ball the pitch today breaking ball outside on the count is three balls and one strike.
• 56:10
  Well I know a lot of you who listen rather intently to Oriole broadcast and know a little bit about the way manager Earl Weaver Weaver runs a ball club.
• 56:19
  You have Johnson hitting or taking on the free two on the free one excuse me the pitch he swings I fly ball third base side.
• 56:26
  Third baseman Nelson is waiting for it and foul ground and he makes the catch right down near the back of the second out of the inning.
• 56:36
  Two down.
• 56:38
  And I hear is Kurt Moten who has walked and grounded the second base.
• 56:43
  In two trips to the plate.
• 56:45
  Because appeared as a pinch hitter in the first game of the season and rule walk.
• 56:54
  Schellenbach first offering to cut swing a foul out of play strike one.
• 57:00
  Here's a young man who last year suddenly decided he'd like to try the great old sport of funding.
• 57:07
  And he has become the most rabid hunter you've ever run into.
• 57:15
  Now the one strike pitch to cut change up popped up third base side here comes Nelson the third baseman of the catcher Casanova it'll be Nelson the third baseman.
• 57:23
  Making the catch and foul ground at the end of five and a half innings the Orioles one and the center is nothing.
• 57:30
  Okay there's Grant Jackson ready to take on Elliott Maddox the right hand swinging Washington center fielder he looks at the first offering outside ball one.
• 57:38
  Maddox hitting to a fourth in the first inning tried to put his way on and the fourth inning was thrown out by Jackson one of those.
• 57:44
  Bing Bing type plays and the one that he kept coming high popped out first base side made the out of play racing over his extra bound to give it a look in its back in the.
• 57:53
  One ball one try here Elliott Maddox.
• 58:02
  It'll be Maddox Mincer and Paul Casanova in that order against Grant Jackson who tonight is making that long awaited first start for the Orioles.
• 58:11
  The first time he lost the chance to start a couple of times earlier this year from the birds were rained out.
• 58:17
  Here is another high foul in the same area.
• 58:20
  Birds have been rained out eight times this year and unfortunately five of those rainouts have been at home.
• 58:28
  That's just about enough rain to last for a few seasons.
• 58:31
  One and two the counts of the batter Elliott Maddox.
• 58:34
  Jackson has a time flashed by at the bottom and the Husty left center brings the arm down a systematic line drive well hit deep right field.
• 58:41
  Retman going hard to the right field going he is there and let one hold it in that it hit the ball very well to do right center and Retman was able to get in front of it and make the.
• 58:53
  That away and about an hour John Mincer had a fine first game with three for four and in the second game so far he has popped the short and had an infield hit to short and there will not be too many infield hit in the career of the likes of John Mincer.
• 59:08
  Big strong very likeable Alabama.
• 59:15
  And yet the down is gone to the mound and talked a little bit with Grant Jackson about the mentor.
• 59:24
  And Jackson's first offering is too low to be less than about some ball one.
• 59:31
  No store Cleveland Boston at the end of two in the second game the Indians won the first one nine to three.
• 59:36
  I called a black and forward over the outside corner of the news one ball one strike.
• 59:45
  Now the one one offering.
• 59:46
  We're going to miss the ball and keep right talking about the unfortunate action of pitcher Jim Scalindac well this young man down mentor to train an unfortunate baseball action he was struck in the face by a family foul fastball.
• 59:59
  Jackson missed with a curve outside of two balls and two strikes.
• 1:00:07
  What's the weather.
• 1:00:08
  The two to the mentor outside again ball three.
• 1:00:12
  All cap ran through the mentor.
• 1:00:17
  Jackson rocked over the rubber the pitch ground ball shot the hitters by the second base and out of the right center field for another mentor.
• 1:00:29
  One out single the right center off the bat of mentor brings in Paul captain over captain over stuck out in the second inning and in the fourth inning.
• 1:00:37
  He had a line drive right down the right field line into the opposite corner good for two bases as the senators loaded the bases with only one out from the bottom of the fourth against Jackson but could not break through.
• 1:00:49
  Jackson's pitch is to try to catch an over ball one time after that is going up to cross again the grand Jackson.
• 1:01:15
  Now the one of the kids to catch an over the left handed deal is a mighty swing and a miss from captain over and account even to the ball in the strike mentor the runner at first base he's had a very fine series he had a hit in the opening game.
• 1:01:27
  He had three in the first game he's got two in this game a total of six hit in the three games played so far.
• 1:01:33
  And we just a little more than halfway through this one.
• 1:01:36
  The one one pitch to captain over swinging the ground power right at the place.
• 1:01:41
  The only thing that's up and throwing in the Oriole bullpen and they've got a little activity out on the senator bullpen.
• 1:01:50
  The Oriole bullpen is stuck away in the left field corner the senator bullpen is in the left center field back to back out there.
• 1:01:57
  A ball two strikes the captain over Jackson ready to go.
• 1:02:00
  He checks the runner at first base field just inside.
• 1:02:03
  Two balls two strikes.
• 1:02:05
  Casey Cox is the right hander throwing in the Washington bullpen.
• 1:02:15
  Now the two to captain over swing and a miss he struck him out and for that he might be strikeout number six.
• 1:02:21
  Two away in the Washington half of the six and about an hour will be Lenny Randall Lenny a single a center field in the second inning and he was given the intentional walk in the fourth inning.
• 1:02:34
  And it really paid off it loaded the bases with one out and then Jackson got telling him to pop up and telling back on a strikeout strike over the inside corner.
• 1:02:50
  Mentor leads first base with two down Jackson is inside with a single even a count at one ball and one strike.
• 1:03:00
  Robinson at first base here in the second game for the Orioles.
• 1:03:04
  Jackson controls and there's a long foul ball down the left field side and out of play.
• 1:03:10
  And it bounced out of the seats and back out of the playing field.
• 1:03:13
  Kurt Moten has to go over to retrieve it.
• 1:03:17
  A count of a ball and two strikes to Lenny Randall.
• 1:03:22
  There's all and he's a former baseball or a pretty good baseball school Arizona State University.
• 1:03:30
  Mentor just gone out to talk to his first base coach.
• 1:03:32
  Nellie Fox now he's back on the bag and we're ready to do business again.
• 1:03:36
  The count of all and two strikes.
• 1:03:37
  Jackson set fire.
• 1:03:39
  A curve ball on the screen behind the plate.
• 1:03:55
  Now the one to put to Lenny Randall.
• 1:03:57
  Ground ball shot me hit it.
• 1:03:59
  He's got a control the second base before submitters who end the inning and at the end of sixth complete it's Baltimore one Washington nothing.
• 1:04:10
  The first report on the second game in the Indian Red Sox double headed Boston.
• 1:04:14
  It's called us between the Indians and the Red Sox going to the top of the third with Rick Hand against Sonny's fever.
• 1:04:19
  The Indians won the first game by a score of nine to three.
• 1:04:23
  Mark Valangelo leads off against Schellenbach and here's a strike call to Mark.
• 1:04:28
  Valangelo tonight has popped the short slide to right field in two previous turns.
• 1:04:33
  He shows a four hit here in the series.
• 1:04:35
  The fifth coming to Valangelo in the first and that level of count of the ball and the strike.
• 1:04:41
  Valangelo will be followed by Andy Etcheverne and then pitcher Grant Jackson.
• 1:04:45
  We owe you a station break up and down the Oriole network and we'll get it for you as soon as possible.
• 1:04:50
  Six playing in a looping five all the channel center field Maddox coming on will not get there and it's not for the base.
• 1:04:58
  And on that base it we're going to take a station break.
• 1:05:00
  This is the Baltimore Oriole baseball network.
• 1:05:03
  This is Dick Steffen advising you to hear John Sedlin first wire broadcast at 715 mornings on radio 11 WB Allen Baltimore.
• 1:05:13
  Etcheverne steps in and the station break reminded us the fact we had a visitor from down in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight.
• 1:05:20
  Rayford Hill came by our booth to say hello came up to watch the Orioles.
• 1:05:23
  He listened to him out of WS LS in Roanoke, Virginia.
• 1:05:27
  First a swing and a foul ball out of play on the mezzanine behind the plate strike one to Andy Etcheverne.
• 1:05:33
  He has banned and put a pampered of them out.
• 1:05:38
  He talks is throwing again in the Washington bullpen.
• 1:05:47
  Shunnenbach has the fine is one strike hit to Andy curveball to get foul out of play behind the plate 0 and 2.
• 1:05:54
  This is the fifth start of the year for Shunnenbach.
• 1:05:56
  He's thrown one complete ball game.
• 1:05:58
  His record on the year one win and three defeats.
• 1:06:04
  The home run that retten on here against the Shunnenbach is count for the Orioles one and nothing lead is only the sixth home run thrown by Shunnenbach this year.
• 1:06:12
  The two strike pitch for the waiting Andy Etcheverne gets a bit high.
• 1:06:16
  One ball two strikes.
• 1:06:19
  Again Shunnenbach kind of wasting that fastball up high and Etcheverne refused to chase it.
• 1:06:24
  The lander at first nobody else.
• 1:06:30
  The second one is thrown by Shunnenbach the one to get to Etcheverne ground ball off the third day side to steal the whole out of the left field for a base knock.
• 1:06:37
  The lander looks down the second base and Etcheverne has his first hit of the series a single in the whole of a field.
• 1:06:45
  That brings up the pitcher Grant Jackson and the senator in field now defensively will set up to handle a Grant Jackson bun.
• 1:06:54
  The left hand is in order and Washington defensively is setting up the playoff.
• 1:07:00
  Jackson the left handed thrower but a right handed batter been to the plate twice been to the plate twice tonight is grounded the short and struck out.
• 1:07:07
  Shunnenbach ready to go to set and the pitcher Jackson the bun is on he gets a foul pitch strike.
• 1:07:14
  Try to bunch the ball and just stick the foul into the middle of the half and over.
• 1:07:24
  Behind Grant Jackson comes lead off to the Merve Rettenmond.
• 1:07:30
  One strike to Jackson if the pitcher bun is still in order Shunnenbach is ready.
• 1:07:35
  Jackson the swings and fouls just went down the right field side and out of play so they have the bun on and the first pitch took it off on the second pitch.
• 1:07:43
  Now looks the third base coach Billy Hunter to determine whether he'll be swinging or bunting on the strike set.
• 1:07:53
  Birds and the senators are here again tomorrow night and again on Thursday night games or single games here in Washington started 730.
• 1:08:00
  Two strikes it's the Jack.
• 1:08:03
  He bunched foul and that'll be a strikeout.
• 1:08:06
  Number three in the strikeout column for Jim Shunnenbach.
• 1:08:11
  Tom of the batting order Merve Rettenmond he's two for three.
• 1:08:15
  I guess lefty Jim Shunnenbach he had a first inning single to right field and a full home run in the fifth inning and it was a pretty good shot at that.
• 1:08:23
  Well a familiar side in game number one is on the scene again in game two pitching coach.
• 1:08:30
  Hudson is making his way to the mound and he'll talk a little bit with Casanova and Shunnenbach.
• 1:08:35
  They have the right handed Casey Cox ready in the Washington bullpen.
• 1:08:41
  The Orioles leading at one to nothing have won out and runners at first and second here in this top of the seventh inning of game number two.
• 1:08:49
  Hudson delivered the message and is on his way back to the dugout on the dead run and Shunnenbach will stay in the ball game.
• 1:09:10
  Waiting for Shunnenbach first pitch now to Merve Rettenmond.
• 1:09:15
  The left hander throws he's outside and low ball one.
• 1:09:31
  One ball no strikes for Rettenmond one away runners at first and second base pitch is a high breaking ball and the countdown to an old Merve.
• 1:09:46
  Jim Palmer will shoot for victory number 10 tomorrow night here against the Senators and Dave McNally for number 12 on Thursday night.
• 1:09:56
  To an old account to Rettenmond the land to its second extra bar in at first and one away.
• 1:10:01
  The left hander kicks and fires breaking ball low and it's three balls no strikes for Rettenmond.
• 1:10:22
  Shunnenbach ready with a three nothing pitch to Rettenmond he deals low ball four and they are loaded for Paul Blair.
• 1:10:30
  And now here comes Hudson again and this apparently is going to be it for Shunnenbach.
• 1:10:34
  It's the second visit if Hudson goes to the mound.
• 1:10:37
  He is not going to the mound.
• 1:10:38
  However he is coming over to talk to the plate umpire Russ Getz.
• 1:10:43
  And now he is going to go out of the mound because they will make more than just a pitching change.
• 1:10:49
  So Shunnenbach is going to be listed and while the new pitcher makes his way to the mound let's pause for a moment.
• 1:10:58
  Well these Senators are not only making a change at the mound.
• 1:11:01
  Listing starter Jim Shunnenbach and bringing on the right hander Ray Pertasey shot.
• 1:11:06
  They are also making an infield change as a matter of fact changes both short and second.
• 1:11:10
  Tim Cullen the shortstop remains in the ballgame but moves over to second base in place of Lenny Randall.
• 1:11:17
  And then Hara comes out of the Washington dugout and Hara will be the new shortstop.
• 1:11:21
  So Hara to short and Cullen moves from short to second.
• 1:11:25
  As far as their spots in the batting order are concerned Cox will bat seventh that's where Randall had been and Hara will bat ninth.
• 1:11:33
  And nationally that's where the starter Shunnenbach had been.
• 1:11:37
  Shunnenbach gives up a hit to Belanger and Etterberg in the center.
• 1:11:40
  He did get Jackson Bunningfowl on a third strike.
• 1:11:43
  And he has just walked wreck and run and he has been yanked in favor of Casey Cox.
• 1:11:48
  So Shunnenbach were six and one through to ninth.
• 1:11:51
  He has given up a total of six base hits.
• 1:11:54
  He has walked two and he has spanned three.
• 1:11:58
  And it was Casey Cox who was the really picture with the tie run aboard in the top of the ninth inning of game one.
• 1:12:05
  As a matter of fact Casey Cox came on with only one man out and he got to Brooks Robinson on a fly ball
• 1:12:11
  and he got to Pinchinger Frank Robinson on a ground ball and an eventual fielders choice to wrap up the ball game.
• 1:12:17
  So Casey Cox has replaced Shunnenbach with a bird continuing his retina here in the top of the seventh inning.
• 1:12:23
  They are leading one to nothing.
• 1:12:25
  They've got the bases loaded.
• 1:12:27
  They've got retina on the first.
• 1:12:29
  They've got Etterberg in second and Belanger at third and now they bat Paul Blair.
• 1:12:33
  Here comes Paul.
• 1:12:35
  He's reached one time tonight in the second game on an error.
• 1:12:38
  And the third inning has fly to right and grounded to the third base from Nelson again.
• 1:12:44
  Bases loaded one away and the big ball right handed Casey Cox ready to go to Paul Blair.
• 1:12:51
  With a look toward third Cox goes to the move and delivers.
• 1:12:54
  Blair swings here the high pop fly to shallow right back to second base and on the right fielder
• 1:12:58
  and it is the second base from making the catch.
• 1:13:01
  As Cullen raised back under a looping pop up into shallow right and made a fine running over the shoulder catch
• 1:13:07
  to retire Paul Blair.
• 1:13:10
  Good move and a part of the new second baseman Cullen he has moved from short to second as Bill told you.
• 1:13:15
  And with two down now on the bases loaded the batter is Frank Robinson.
• 1:13:21
  Frank fly to center, bounce to the mound and then drill the single in the alley in left center field last time on in the sixth inning.
• 1:13:27
  And in the first game of the double header as Bill told you it was Frank batting against Casey Cox in the top of the ninth inning
• 1:13:33
  that hit into a fourth play that ended the ballgame.
• 1:13:54
  Frank stands in, we're ready to go.
• 1:13:56
  Everywhere you look there's an Oreo, the lander at third base, here's the first one to Frank,
• 1:14:00
  sets his swing and takes it inside for the ball, the lander at third,
• 1:14:04
  extra bar in a second and Merv Retman the runner at first base.
• 1:14:09
  One ball, no strike to Frank Robinson.
• 1:14:12
  Silly hunter base-hate for third base coaching boss, he gets on the outfield side of it against Frank who has hit some rather mean foul balls down that way.
• 1:14:24
  Now the one-hutting pitch to Frank, Cox the relieving right-handed delivers, ground ball hit off the third base side, the shortstop power is there, the throw goes to second base, not in time.
• 1:14:32
  And the run scores, a hustling Merv Retman beats the throw to second base and the Orioles pick up another run.
• 1:14:46
  Frank Robinson reaches on the fielders' choice, he is also credited with a run batted in and the Orioles lead the Senators now by a score of 2-0.
• 1:14:56
  Kara took the ground ball and drilled a throw to second base and Cullen, but Retman on sheer hustle, beats the throw.
• 1:15:03
  Bases remain loaded and here is Brooks.
• 1:15:10
  The thing and a foul ball out of play behind the plate, strike one, the run is charged to the now departed Jim Cullen back and the Orioles have a 2-0 lead over the Senators here in this top half of the seventh inning.
• 1:15:26
  The runs and base hits are a lot tougher come by here in the night-cap than they were in the first game as the Senators pounded out 15 hits in the first game and beat the Orioles 8-6.
• 1:15:41
  This is all for three in game number two the season, twice fly to center and top to the second base in the pitch. Lowell and a ball, one ball once strike to Brooks Robinson.
• 1:16:02
  Frank at first, Retman at second, Etzter barring a third, two down and Cox ready to go now with a 1-1 offering to Brooks Robinson.
• 1:16:11
  He's got a strike over the outer corner of the knees, good hard breaking pitch from Casey. One ball, two strikes.
• 1:16:24
  Frank Robinson has not been four runs in the series so far and we've got two more games to go, a single tomorrow night, a single Thursday night.
• 1:16:37
  Now the 1-2 pitch for the waiting Brooks Robinson, now Casey Cox broke contact with the rubberies, not quite ready to go.
• 1:16:45
  And on a big right hander seems all set to look to third to move in the 1-2 to Brooks. With a looping fly ball down the first base side and foul ground and under it is first base from Minter for the final out.
• 1:16:55
  Actually it was kind of a stacked swing and Brooks fouls for the first base from Minter for the final out. At the end of 6-1-1, Baltimore 2, Washington nothing.
• 1:17:06
  Well a little late at 2-0 behind Grant Jackson as we move to the bottom of the seventh inning, the birds have made quite a few defense and switches. Frank Robinson, the first baseman stays in the ball game, Frank Robinson goes to right field.
• 1:17:18
  The new first baseman will be Boobs Powell and Merv Retman who had been playing right field also remains in the ball game. Retman moves to left field replacing Kurt Moten.
• 1:17:29
  So Powell as far as the Oriole batting order is concerned, Powell will bat in Moten's spot between Johnson and Blank.
• 1:17:37
  Okay, Chuck, here's the ball one inside of the right hand swinging Cullen as we go to the last half of the seventh inning.
• 1:17:47
  One ball, no strike to Cullen. And behind Cullen will come Toby Hara.
• 1:17:53
  A strike call over the inside portion right at the hands and Cullen ran the hands up the bat and leaned in over the base, took it all the way.
• 1:17:59
  A ball and a strike. Toby Hara behind Cullen.
• 1:18:04
  Jack controls, strike to Cullen. Again he worked it inside right at the hands for Cullen.
• 1:18:18
  Now the one two pitch coming, low and inside, two ball, two strike.
• 1:18:31
  Jackson's two-two offering to Cullen, a swing and a foul on the netting behind the plate, not a full swing.
• 1:18:36
  It was the first time he tried to stop it and didn't get the bat out of the way.
• 1:18:42
  The right-handed Tommy Deuce is staying loose in the Oriole bullpen. Jackson in his first start of the year for the Orioles, now working in the bottom of the seventh inning, with a two-to-nothing lead.
• 1:18:52
  The two-two to Cullen. Strike three on a foul tip of a check swing.
• 1:18:57
  Cullen stops the swing and the ball just nips the bat and etch-a-bar and squeezes it. And Jackson notches strikeout number seven.
• 1:19:06
  Now here comes Toby Hara in last night's Oriole victory in a losing toss. This young man had two hits in four trips.
• 1:19:18
  And on the season Toby Hara is hitting two fifty-four. Right-handed batsman of Toby.
• 1:19:28
  Jackson waits for him to get in. He's already and now the Lessie's pitch is cut out and fouled out of play behind the plate. Strike one to Toby Hara.
• 1:19:39
  The Oriole outfield is set to play Hara as a full hitter as Blair is pretty well around in the alley in the left center.
• 1:19:45
  Well drive down the Lessie's side, it's a foul ball and it's going to be out of play. Two strikes to Toby Hara.
• 1:19:56
  0-2 the count. Jackson looking at the sign flashed by etch-a-bar and starts the motion control. Here's a line drive base hit into center field.
• 1:20:07
  And Toby Hara has a one-out single to get the center to start in here on the bottom of the seventh inning. And that'll bring on the top of the batting order.
• 1:20:16
  There's a line drive base hit into center field. And the etch-a-bar is making some signs to manager Earl Weaver.
• 1:20:27
  And if I read the signs correctly it's indicating the fact that Jackson has come up with some kind of a blister perhaps on his throwing hand.
• 1:20:35
  And etch-a-bar wants manager Earl Weaver to go out there and take a look at it. And Weaver and plate umpire, Russ Getzer there doing just exactly that.
• 1:20:45
  I don't know whether this can be ruled an injury visit or whether it's going to be a charge visit for manager Earl Weaver.
• 1:20:53
  Weaver has looked at it. Jackson a little bit of the nodding of the head. Is it to say yes, I think I'm okay.
• 1:20:59
  And it apparently has something to do with the throwing hand and the guess would be not to leave it a blister.
• 1:21:06
  But etch-a-bar and wanted his manager to get out there and take a look at this thing.
• 1:21:12
  They are now apprised to the situation. Tony Duce is going pretty good in the Oriole bullpen.
• 1:21:17
  And the left hand swinging Del Unfors on a first base Toby Harrop.
• 1:21:21
  Jackson's pitch punted off the third base side. It's going to be in foul ground and etch-a-bar and picks it off quickly.
• 1:21:28
  Unfors' front attempts to just foul down the third base side and etch-a-bar and pounced on it.
• 1:21:34
  One strike to counter Del Unfors.
• 1:21:38
  Unfors had one hit and nine trips coming into this ball game.
• 1:21:42
  And now stands there with a total of one and twelve. He had a seven game hitting streak stopped by the Orioles in the first game tonight.
• 1:21:52
  One away, Harrop, a runner at first, booed Powell is holding it in and Jackson eyeing the signs from etch-a-bar and collects his one strike offering.
• 1:22:00
  He's going outside in a good save by Andy Etch-a-bar. One ball, one strike.
• 1:22:12
  Now a pretty good crowd of 11,072 now begin to jump into the ball game here in Washington.
• 1:22:17
  So one, one to one third. Strike two called as Jackson again for it over the outside portion right around the hand.
• 1:22:26
  Jackson got the un-sure looking at a third strike in the fifth inning and it was about in the same area over the outer portion of the plate, maybe up around the letter.
• 1:22:34
  Now the one to the leading Del Unfors. Here it is.
• 1:22:37
  Pointing a foul right behind the plate.
• 1:22:40
  Count rides of all two strikes. Well the Yankees and the Tigers put a pair this afternoon.
• 1:22:45
  The first one went to Detroit seven or four but I count for the Yankees two to one.
• 1:22:49
  Indians found the Red Sox nine to three in the first game and there's no score in the second game.
• 1:22:55
  The Red Sox the runner to put the second for all to throw the second base is much too high.
• 1:22:59
  But Andy went leaping up to save the throw and in with the throw and base is Toby Harris.
• 1:23:08
  That'll be his second seal of the year.
• 1:23:12
  So Toby Harris, seal second and the count now to all two strikes the Bel Unfors.
• 1:23:24
  And the pitch. Jackson's throw.
• 1:23:27
  Low on outside and now it's three and two.
• 1:23:30
  Throw counts to un-sure.
• 1:23:36
  This is ready in the Oriole bullpen. This is quite a sin for Grant Jackson.
• 1:23:42
  He's been strictly a reliever this year and his payoff three to the un-sure.
• 1:23:47
  Swinging the ground ball at the second base from Johnson's almost bad hopped over his head. He's loved it firing the power for the second out of the inning.
• 1:23:54
  And on the play down to third base goes Toby Harris.
• 1:23:57
  Two down and about an hour will be Dave Nelson.
• 1:24:11
  Jackson's longest since this year has been two and a third innings. That's quite a while ago against Cleveland on the 27th of May.
• 1:24:21
  The pitch to Nelson inside right up around the letters and Dave spins back out of the way. They're all one.
• 1:24:30
  I'm called manager Earl Weaver figures that this might be the time to go get Grant Jackson and the problem appears to be some sort of a hurt to the pitching hand.
• 1:24:42
  Whether it's a blister or what it might be I'm not too sure but manager Earl Weaver has gone to the mound and the extra down is also out there with him.
• 1:24:51
  These are tough moments for a manager and for a pitcher and actually any pitcher worth his salt just will you know fight to stay in the ball game.
• 1:25:00
  He'll say anything to his manager in an effort to get the manager to change the mind but Weaver does not change his mind and Grant Jackson heads for the dugout with a very fine stand against the senator tonight in his first start as an Oleo.
• 1:25:15
  I'll check if I may add your comments. I think there are quite a few remarkable things about what Grant Jackson has accomplished tonight.
• 1:25:22
  Number one as you just pointed out a couple of moments ago his longest relief since this season two and one third innings back in late May against the Indians in the ball game back in Baltimore.
• 1:25:35
  Additionally with this thing his first shot. Jackson has not even worked in the game in relief since the 15th of this month that was back home against Milwaukee or just a week ago tonight.
• 1:25:47
  So he had done no pitching on the mound even as a releaser in one week's time.
• 1:25:53
  Despite the fact that he has not worked a lot despite the fact that most of his relief appearances have all been very short.
• 1:25:59
  Tonight making his first oil start of the year and a week away from his last pitching appearance as well.
• 1:26:05
  Jackson's control are just simply outstanding. He did walk a man.
• 1:26:09
  So that was Randall in the fourth inning but Randall was intentionally more when Washington had runners that second and third and just one out.
• 1:26:17
  And it was there that perhaps Jackson was at his very best because when he walked Randall to load him up with only one out he got Cullen on a pop up and then also retired the side to get out of the damage.
• 1:26:28
  And leave the mound with the bases loaded and keep the ball game scoreless at nothing nothing.
• 1:26:34
  Since that time and running through now in the bottom of the seventh inning Jackson has recorded seven strikeouts.
• 1:26:41
  So the count of one ball and no strikes to Dave Nelson for a couple of reasons I'm sure weaver has brought on to replace Grant Jackson.
• 1:26:50
  But one thing among others that weaver would like to avoid since there are two men out and since Dave Nelson is the batter and since they've got a runner a third base pair up.
• 1:27:01
  Because I've all been very short tonight making his first oil start of the year and a week away from his last pitching appearance as well.
• 1:27:11
  And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.
• 1:27:21
  And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.
• 1:27:31
  And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.
• 1:27:41
  And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.
• 1:27:51
  And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.
• 1:28:01
  And I think that's the first time that weaver has been a very short time.
• 1:28:11
  Because if Nelson gets the board that's exactly what would happen.
• 1:28:21
  Trying to retire Nelson trying to get out of the beginning trying to keep the two nothing lead and trying additionally to avoid facing Howard.
• 1:28:31
  Still that's extremely well put and here is Tommy Duke with a thing in the middle from Dave Nelson and he talks about not getting Nelson the board to get Howard to the plate.
• 1:28:42
  This is now making his 14th appearance of the year and he's only walked three batters that he throws strikes.
• 1:28:49
  But this thing in the middle two strikes as a matter of fact the last time Tommy crossed the line and got in the ball game he came in with one out in the base is loaded against Milwaukee and struck out Kenya.
• 1:28:59
  Well we have two down the runner at third base of Hera and a ball and two strikes the counts and Nelson.
• 1:29:05
  The right hand of Duke fires swinging in this and he struck him out a foul tip evidently but that's the bar and squeezes in and how's that for really fitting.
• 1:29:13
  At the end of seven it's Baltimore two watching them nothing.
• 1:29:17
  And those of you who have been listening to our second game broadcast from the very beginning you may remember comments that we made earlier tonight about some severe foul tips that were taken on the test protectors that both the plate umplired get some catchers chasin over real early in the ball game
• 1:29:31
  and we were wondering and thinking out loud.
• 1:29:33
  I wonder who was the first one ever to wear a test protector.
• 1:29:36
  Well thanks to Mr. Tom Gibbs of Pikeville, Maryland.
• 1:29:40
  We have found out first man to ever wear a test protector with Charles Bennett of the Detroit Wolverine and the year 1885.
• 1:29:51
  I could have remembered that.
• 1:29:53
  You normally do.
• 1:29:54
  Here we go with Dave Johnson and the ball one is down.
• 1:29:59
  Dave tonight has been up three times delivered with a base hitter double in the fourth inning and the right handed caught fire again and breaking to cut on and follow behind the plate of all in the strike today.
• 1:30:09
  Dave leads the ball club in double he hit his 13th level in that fourth inning.
• 1:30:15
  Casey Cox wants another baseball and Russ gets a very fine plate on fire provides him with one.
• 1:30:22
  He missed the first game final it was Washington eight Baltimore six and the center's something Oriole for 15 hits the one one high ball two two balls in strike today.
• 1:30:34
  We're a Macabre eight thing on the nightcap.
• 1:30:40
  But who wants it high fly ball right to your way cutting over comes down on sir coming on now toward the foul line on sir there makes the catch one away.
• 1:30:53
  Now we got to power was batting in the box normally occupied by Curt Houghton and we got a fine first game he knocked in a pair of runs and he had two hits in four trips and a total of six in the series with five runs batted in ball one to find outside the booth.
• 1:31:22
  It's a little time to retire to late and now we're ready to go again.
• 1:31:28
  Big Casey Cox round the mound he is pitching a relief of starter Jim Schumann back the one nothing that's coming to power high ball two both starters Schumann back and Grant Jackson did an outstanding job for their respective managers tonight the Orioles lead by a score of two to nothing.
• 1:31:46
  The senators have out hit the Orioles seven to six the two nothing to power he looked at the strike two and one.
• 1:32:04
  And the breaking ball going inside run the count up now three balls and strike.
• 1:32:20
  And the first game was a double and he scored a run.
• 1:32:49
  Well we had a little conference out there and around the mound between the captain over and his sister Casey Cox.
• 1:32:55
  Venture is not going to hold the power to serve face one away and the set by the Washington right handed a fixable Andrew is psyched right across the letters.
• 1:33:11
  And that's one of the newer American League umpires and he's a highly respected young umpire is left yet.
• 1:33:19
  And the American League is acquiring quite a few good new umpires to pitch.
• 1:33:23
  Loan outside all one one ball and one strike lead power with a false start the second base.
• 1:33:30
  I guess he's remembering the stolen base he had in the first game we follow you that station break and they get it momentarily.
• 1:33:37
  Now the one wonder waiting mark the land here fly ball right the away coming up with a ball is on sir and he's in position to make the chance and that's all for the second out and we take a station break.
• 1:33:46
  This is the bottom or only old baseball.
• 1:33:50
  And the extra bar and in the face Casey Cox now and Andy has won the three tonight in the second game.
• 1:33:58
  He was a pinch hitter in the first game and failed to hit.
• 1:34:03
  The power of the first base the Orioles to the Senate is nothing to pitch to act about and line drive into right field and coming on as I can't get there it drops to the base.
• 1:34:11
  Holding second is blue cowl at at the bar and flat the single in the right field and that will bring out the new Orioles reliefers Tommy Duke.
• 1:34:23
  The year has been to the plate five times with a base and he has two runs that they fit with a double.
• 1:34:34
  Casting over and Casey Cox again had a little bit of a meeting before pitching to shoot.
• 1:34:50
  Now the first off into Tommy Duke and a miss me at a good healthy cut at that.
• 1:35:02
  And the one strike offering to Tommy a right handed swing or a.
• 1:35:07
  Talks for the long intent look to cast them over now ready to go and his one strike that fly ball into shallow right back goes the second base from colonies there to make the cash and that'll be the final out of the end.
• 1:35:19
  At the end of seven and a half Baltimore to Washington nothing.
• 1:35:25
  Well with the Orioles leading to the nothing before we go to the bottom of the eighth inning let's run the American League scoreboard first to see what Boston the Indians whack the Red Sox nine to three the second game in the last scoreless the Indians nothing in the Red Sox nothing in the fourth inning with Rick hand against
• 1:35:39
  funny fever at Chicago Kansas City took a two run lead in the top of the first inning the White Sox now betting with victory go against Tom Bradley Oakland at Minnesota scoreless at the end of 100 against Perry California at Milwaukee scoreless in the second inning with last year against
• 1:35:55
  Lockwood and we're indebted again to WBAL under Fred Schneider tonight.
• 1:36:00
  All right Bill here is the big one Frank Howard and Tommy Duke's first offering cut on a miss strike one.
• 1:36:06
  Good hard breaking stuff and Duke's again the Orioles jam the third base out of the infield with three infielders.
• 1:36:13
  That's about it hangs out the target Duke's fires.
• 1:36:16
  Fastball state high it's a ball and a strike.
• 1:36:25
  Right back with the one wonder Howard swing and he didn't get it a ball and two strikes.
• 1:36:35
  Tommy Duke picking a relief of starter Grant Jackson into the mood the one who offering to Howard.
• 1:36:44
  All the way to ball two strikes.
• 1:36:54
  And the one two pitch the Frank swing and a foul tip out of the middle of the catcher and the extra balance for Howard.
• 1:37:04
  One ball two strikes.
• 1:37:13
  Duke is ready to go again the rocking right hander brings the on down his pitch struck him out swinging him in the Howard goes down.
• 1:37:22
  Now Mr. Duke's face to batter since he entered the ball game and he's saying both of them.
• 1:37:29
  Now Elliott Maddox hit into a fourth play in the first inning tried to bond his way on in the fourth was thrown out and then lying to the right fielder.
• 1:37:40
  First offering to Maddox much too high with a fastball ball one starter Grant Jackson fans seven of these senators.
• 1:37:52
  And two one nothing to Maddox low and a ball to know now.
• 1:37:59
  Last half of the eighth inning the only old to the senator's nothing second game of the doubleheader the first game won by Washington eight to six.
• 1:38:07
  And the second inning look out almost to the inside ball three three and all.
• 1:38:24
  Three nothing to strike his call and Duke kind of took a little off it and never to get it in and Maddox is taking all the way.
• 1:38:38
  And do the three one offering to the right hand swinging Maddox drive to call the blazing fastball over the inner force and the letter.
• 1:38:49
  Maddox is stepped out of the box momentarily to think things over and now he is back in again we're ready to go.
• 1:38:55
  This will be a payoff three to two to Elliott Maddox.
• 1:38:59
  To the moon.
• 1:39:01
  Ball four is too high Maddox is armed with a one out walk and that'll bring in the hot hitting down mentor mentor two for three in this second game.
• 1:39:13
  And he had three hits in four trips in the first game including a double and his fifth home run.
• 1:39:24
  The submarine Tina is throwing in the Washington bullpen here is mentor stepping in and Duke's first offering is a breaking ball low ball one.
• 1:39:36
  Time is up and runs for the mound out of word of two to say to Tommy Duke. Meantime Eddie Watt begins to throw in the Oriole bullpen along with Pete Rickard.
• 1:39:49
  One away in the Washington half of the eighth inning Maddox the runner at first base and mentor at the plate with a count ball one.
• 1:40:00
  The first Duke to the set position and the right hander pitches outside to all no strikes from in here.
• 1:40:08
  Fine here comes George Sandburger he's going to go out and have a word of few to say to Tony Duke this will also give a lot and Rickard a little more time to get warm in the Oriole bullpen mentor.
• 1:40:20
  The first one of the ball game to walk over and talk to the on deck hitter Paul Casanova.
• 1:40:31
  Well the Orioles and the senators will go out again tomorrow night here at our stadium and tomorrow night it'll be Jim Palmer for the Orioles.
• 1:40:38
  The getaway game the final game the fifth one of the series on Thursday night will feature Dave McNally.
• 1:40:54
  Dick Bosman is the starter for the senator tomorrow night against Palmer.
• 1:40:59
  Now the two nothing to Don Ninters.
• 1:41:02
  Two balls must write good hard breaking just driving down and in on the left hand swinging mentor.
• 1:41:08
  Then against McNally Thursday night it'll be Jackie Brown for two one offering Duke's fire swinging a foul behind the plate and so Duke's is brought back to leave him a count of two balls two strikes with one out and Maddox the runner at first.
• 1:41:24
  Both clubs are dead even in the hip column the Orioles seven the senators seven and the Orioles lead by a count of two to nothing and one that's just as nipping tough as you could get.
• 1:41:37
  But to two to the waiting mentor line drive caught by the second base and back to first in time for the double play.
• 1:41:43
  A line drive shared by constantly with the quick fill the power and the runner at first Maddox has been doubled off and a pretty good little bar this building Williams is coming on field.
• 1:41:54
  Nelly Fox is all over the first base umpire Dave Phillips and likewise Maddox and we will have a little bit of a discussion right now and Larry Knapp the senior member of the Cure was coming down from second base to see if he can settle the situation.
• 1:42:07
  As of May it is a line drive double play and that'll be it for Washington to be a fitting at the end of a complete it is Baltimore to Washington nothing.
• 1:42:19
  Well these senators just finished yelling loud and we might say long especially at first base umpire Dave Phillips Nelson Fox the first base coach really barked at Phillips after they double play put out first base was moved by Dave Johnson to boot tower against
• 1:42:35
  the Elliott Maddox to the third and final out Wiggins also came out Larry Knapp the boss of the crew had to move away Nelson Fox from first base umpire Dave Phillips.
• 1:42:46
  Now before we go to the top of the ninth inning on the National League Skull Board they mentally the plan to nothing in the sixth inning at Atlanta the bravely Montreal for nothing in the fifth inning at Cincinnati the red set of two nothing lead on the Phillies in the fifth inning
• 1:43:00
  and there are three later at National League games tonight all on the West Coast. Well we look at Merve Retton on and he ran a hand drop of that took a pitch inside ball one.
• 1:43:09
  Merve having a fine second game he singled in the first inning bounced the short in the third homer to the fifth inning and walked in the seventh.
• 1:43:16
  He took the three on the ninth in game number two the one nothing talks to Retton on swing and a line drive set of the away it's going to drop in front of Maddox and Retton on his own with his third hit here in the second game.
• 1:43:29
  The leadoff single center off the bat of Merve Retton on brings out Paul Blair and Paul is all for four in the night cast he did reach one time on an error charged the third base from Dave Nelson.
• 1:43:49
  Casey Cox wants now to have a word of fear with Paul Casanova so he walks three quarters of the way down to the plate and then it's joined by Casanova and they're just standing with her back to the plate having a bit of a conversation while mentor and Merve Retton on are doing a little
• 1:44:05
  talking down their first day play.
• 1:44:20
  The ball outside corner three right one to Blair nobody out rep money runner at first and a real temp talk battle here in game two between the old and the senator to pitch the Blair he bonds that is right back to all the bound grab by Casey Cox no throw the second the throw go for first base
• 1:44:40
  the second base on the second one to the plate Frank Robinson little burger and Geneski are throwing in the Washington bullpen and Geneski started the first game tonight for Washington one away retman the runner at second base Frank Robinson at the plate first base
• 1:45:06
  the second game tonight is open and the senators are going to put him on he will be given an intentional walk.
• 1:45:14
  That'll bring up what's Robinson and books in the second game tonight is all for four.
• 1:45:23
  And he was all for two in the first game but he did walk three times and even with three walks but still failed to score a run.
• 1:45:34
  I can have a moment and just get back to the comment about the argument that came off in first place between Nellie Fox for the senators and Dave Phillips quite a bit of the debris came out of the stands especially back of the Washington dugout and ironically enough some of that debris hit the couple of the
• 1:45:50
  Kasim the commander is still in that call with Tacor M shack.
• 1:46:05
  Reed wood니까 gently premise Brown would also bring in the highLocks defense and I was hoping to be good to and third drunk robbery.
• 1:46:15
  He sent Howard right to the wall and the big man reached out and made the one-handed grab
• 1:46:19
  and in the first game tonight he chased Hunter up against the barrier in the right field corner to grab his fly ball.
• 1:46:25
  Two down in the top of the ninth.
• 1:46:29
  Now the second base from Dave Johnson, he is one for four here in the second game.
• 1:46:33
  Dave sat out the first one.
• 1:46:35
  Here's one hit, a two-base hit, back in the Oriole fourth inning.
• 1:46:47
  Cox is first offing to Dave Johnson, a ripping strike and a throw to second base back safely as the base runner,
• 1:46:52
  Reckon-Mund, with the cull and drop the ball after the tag.
• 1:46:56
  He's one for four while trying to make the tag, one strike to Johnson.
• 1:47:06
  Look into the time by the right-handed Cox, he's ready, the one strike offering to Johnson swinging a foul to the screen two strikes.
• 1:47:18
  One for the left-handed Cox, one for the right-handed Cox, one for the right-handed Cox, one for the right-handed Cox.
• 1:47:38
  All in here are the counts of the Oriole second base from Johnson.
• 1:47:40
  Two down, Oriole runners, Frank Robinson is first, Merbretten is second.
• 1:47:44
  The pitch is blown away in a good space from Casanova, one ball, two strikes.
• 1:47:58
  Cox is ready to go again, the one-two-pitch to the waiting Johnson.
• 1:48:01
  Strike three is called, Johnson is called out of strike, and that's it for the Orioles in their half of the night.
• 1:48:07
  At the end of eight and a half, it's Baltimore two, Washington nothing.
• 1:48:17
  Well, the new batter to start the last half of the night, sending for the Washington Senators, is scheduled to be Paul Casanova.
• 1:48:22
  In his stead, however, comes Larry Bittner.
• 1:48:25
  Bittner will be the pinch-flinger for Casanova as Watt and Richard are ready in the bullpen.
• 1:48:30
  Up on the mound is Tommy Duce, and here is his first offering to left-hand swinging Bittner.
• 1:48:34
  Strike over the outside corner of the knee. Bittner hitting two-five-four on the year.
• 1:48:43
  And he had one for four in the opening game of the series.
• 1:48:47
  Buce is right back with a good fastball over the inner portion down around the knees, and Bittner is behind the Macau now, all in two.
• 1:48:54
  Buce, all ready to go. He rocks to the motion. Here's the two-strike offering.
• 1:49:05
  Curveball flinging a ground ball off the first-base side. Dave Johnson is there.
• 1:49:08
  The throw to the pitcher covering at first. It is in time to get Larry Bittner.
• 1:49:12
  Johnson got to the ground ball on the outfield grass and made a good throw.
• 1:49:16
  Made a good throw to the pitcher. Duce covering at first base for the first out in the bottom of the ninth inning.
• 1:49:22
  And we have Tommy McCraw now batting for K.C. Top.
• 1:49:27
  McCraw on the year. He is hitting two-thirty-eight, a left-handed flinger as with Bittner.
• 1:49:34
  And Duce, his first offering. Breaking ball low, ball one.
• 1:49:38
  Now the one-nothing to the left-hand flinging McCraw. Duce fires. He missed again down low. Two balls, no strike.
• 1:49:54
  But two-nothing. Low again, ball three to McCraw.
• 1:50:04
  McCraw appeared at the pinch-hitter last night against Dobbsman when I arrived at Stryker.
• 1:50:14
  Now the three-nothing to the left-handed flinger. Duce fires. High ball four.
• 1:50:19
  And McCraw is on with a walk. And now we'll get Bernie Allen. And he will bat for Tim Cullen.
• 1:50:33
  Allen appeared in the first game tonight and delivered one hit and two trips to the plate.
• 1:50:44
  And he also appeared Friday night, or rather the first night, Monday night, last night, and flied the center field.
• 1:50:50
  Left-handed flinger to Allen.
• 1:50:52
  Strike is called. Right over the knee from the inside forward.
• 1:50:55
  Cowell is not holding with McCraw at first base. The set by Duce, the one-strike hit.
• 1:51:07
  High fly ball right the away with Frank Robinson coming on. Back goes the second baseman, Johnson.
• 1:51:11
  It's Johnson the second baseman making the catch for the second out of the inning.
• 1:51:16
  Two down. And now Colby Harris. And Colby Harris only played appearance in the second game in the seventh inning, throwing single a header field.
• 1:51:31
  Here is Harris. Right-handed batsman.
• 1:51:36
  And Duce first offering to Colby.
• 1:51:46
  Swinging the ground ball hit toward third base from Duce Robinson. He's got it for the second there.
• 1:51:50
  It's the fourth and the final out of the ball game.
• 1:51:52
  That's it. The Orioles win a two to nothing and they'll be back with tonight's game total right after this message.
