  Good evening everybody from Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C.
• 0:11
  It's time again for Yankee baseball and tonight's game between the New York Yankees and the Washington Senators.
• 0:16
  The Senators have given the Yankees more trouble this year than any other team in the American League.
• 0:21
  The Yankees have won but five while losing 11 to Washington, including last night's 4-2 defeat
• 0:28
  to the combined pitching of Bill Gagalewski and Joe Grisenda,
• 0:32
  with Grisenda getting the win when Gagalewski had to leave the ballgame raising a blister on his throwing hand.
• 0:38
  And Stan Bonson was the starter and loser in the ballgame for the Yankees.
• 0:42
  Tonight Mel Stottlemeyer will try to slow down the Senators
• 0:47
  and he'll be opposed by left-hander Jim Schellenbach, the only team in the American League.
• 0:51
  Schellenbach has been able to beat this year is the Yankees.
• 0:54
  He has won three, he has lost ten on the season against the New York Yankees, he has won three and he has lost two.
• 1:01
  And it's amazing how one pitcher can sometimes get a grip on a ball club.
• 1:05
  The Yankees have been able though to defeat Schellenbach.
• 1:08
  In fact, they put it to him the last time that he pitched against him.
• 1:12
  It's a good evening for baseball here in Washington.
• 1:14
  The crowd looks like it may be just about the same as it was last night.
• 1:18
  And there's a big drive on here right now in the Washington Daily News
• 1:22
  to fill this ballpark for the final game the Senators will play here against the Yankees tomorrow night.
• 1:28
  And that human cry has been taken up by several of the radio stations and a couple of TV stations.
• 1:34
  Bill White, it's going to be interesting to see just what does happen tomorrow night.
• 1:37
  The whole theme of the thing is to get the ballpark as full as possible.
• 1:42
  And then at the end of the seventh inning, or at the middle of the seventh inning I guess,
• 1:46
  get up for the seventh inning stretch and the fans are going to be asked to boo
• 1:49
  owner Bob Short so loud that he'll hear it wherever he is.
• 1:53
  I'll tell you one thing, Short is not going to be here in this ballpark.
• 1:56
  I don't know where he's going to be. He might be down in Arlington, Texas.
• 1:59
  But he isn't going to be here. But they do want to show,
• 2:02
  the Washington people want to show that they can support Mesa Lake baseball.
• 2:05
  And they're being asked to come out tomorrow.
• 2:07
  I personally don't think too many of them will be out here.
• 2:09
  I don't think it's going to be that big a crowd.
• 2:11
  They're probably a larger crowd than we had at first start.
• 2:14
  Well, the umpires have come out for the home plate meeting with the managers.
• 2:17
  And Bill White will be back with the starting lineups in just one minute.
• 2:31
  One day in 1840, a three-masted schooner sailed into New York.
• 2:37
  On board was a young man from Wetzlar, Germany.
• 2:41
  He'd set sail with just a dollar in his pocket,
• 2:44
  and an old family recipe for a new kind of beer.
• 2:47
  His name was Maximilian Schaeffer.
• 2:50
  And the beer he introduced to America was Schaeffer Lager beer.
• 2:54
  It was aged or lagered for many weeks, to give it a unique lightness and quality.
• 3:01
  Today, Schaeffer is still unique, with flavor that never fades,
• 3:05
  first frosty glass to last.
• 3:07
  It's the one beer to have when you're having more than one.
• 3:37
  It's the one beer to have when you're having more than one.
• 4:07
  Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
• 4:17
  O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
• 4:37
  Well, looking at the lineup,
• 4:38
  Torres Clark will lead off with the Yankees and play second base.
• 4:41
  Rusty Torres will play right field and he'll back second.
• 4:44
  Bobby Mercer returns in his fight for Tony Oliva.

  For the American League batting title, Bobby will bat third and play center field.
• 4:52
  Royal White in left field will bat fourth.

  And the shortstop and batting eighth, Gene Michael in pitching,
• 5:04
  and batting ninth, Mel Stottlemeyer.
• 5:06
  I'll be back with the Washington Senator lineup after this.
• 5:10
  Let's pause now. This is the New York Yankee baseball network.
• 5:13
  This is your station identification.
• 5:16
  This is your guy, Hi Agents.
• 5:18
  Join me for your kind of music weekdays, 3 to 7,
• 5:21

• 5:52
  Tom Ragland will be at second base, batting eighth and batting ninth
• 5:55
  and pitching the left-hander, Jim Schellenbach.
• 6:00
  As Forrest Clark steps in, stepping in here behind the mic, Frank Besser.
• 6:05
  Okay, thank you very much.
• 6:11
  Forrest Clark steps in, he'll be batting right-handed against Schellenbach.
• 6:16
  Schellenbach big left-hander into the lineup, the first pitch of the ball game.
• 6:19
  Curbball is over for a called strike and this game is underway.
• 6:25
  Bill Faye, whom we have not seen before, behind the plate tonight for the Senators.
• 6:28
  Clark is batting 2-48.
• 6:30
  He swings and he misses. No balls, two strikes.
• 6:37
  Bobby Mercer has his work cut out for him as he will try to nip Oliva for the batting title.
• 6:43
  The 0-2 pitch. Curbball is over, strike three is called.
• 6:46
  Clark on three pitches is out on strikes.
• 6:51
  Played on by tonight is Lou DiMuro at first base, Jim Odom.
• 6:54
  At second base, Jake O'Donnell and at third base, Jim Honachin.
• 6:59
  Here comes Rusty Torres.
• 7:03
  Torres has switched it or batting right against Schellenbach.
• 7:06
  Torres had 2-4 last night.
• 7:10
  Batting 4-12.
• 7:12
  He's done 7-17. His first pitch on the ground is short.
• 7:15
  Flag down by Mason.
• 7:17
  Over to first base where Larry Bickner takes the throw and there are two down.
• 7:21
  Jim Mason throws out Rusty Torres and here comes Bobby.
• 7:27
  Mercer is hitting 3-31.
• 7:32
  He went 1-4 last night.
• 7:35
  Prior to last night, what was it Bill Cain? 7-12 he needed so that leaves 6-8 he must have.
• 7:45
  4-4.
• 7:48
  Bobby has had one 4-hit game this year. He went 4-5 once.
• 7:51
  He bluffs a bunt and takes a strike.
• 7:58
  There have been 18 times this year when Bobby Mercer has had as many as 3 base hits in a ball game.
• 8:03
  Once 4. He hits this one on the ground left side, deep short.
• 8:07
  Up with it, Mason again. Bobby running hard. He's out and a close play at first base.
• 8:11
  And the side is retired. They just got him by half a step down at first.
• 8:15
  As Mercer was digging for all he's worth.
• 8:18
  The Yankees go down 1-2-3 nothing across.
• 8:21
  And at the end of the top half of the first inning the score, the Yankees nothing and the Senators coming to bat.
• 8:27
  Here's good news for folks who use rental trucks or trailers to move their household furnishings or for miscellaneous hauling jobs.
• 8:34
  U-Haul dealers now honor Bank Americard and Master Charge Cards for local and one-way rentals.
• 8:40
  No cash deposit is required and you can include furniture pads, tow bars and other moving aids too.
• 8:47
  You can also use cargo insurance included on trucks and trailers.
• 8:50
  And if you're planning a move soon, stop in at U-Haul for a free copy of the U-Haul Moving Guide.
• 8:56
  It shows how to plan your move, how to pack and how you can save money.
• 9:01
  Remember with U-Haul, you can move now and pay later.
• 9:04
  Just use your Bank Americard or Master Charge Card at your nearest U-Haul dealers.
• 9:10
  Ripples Golf, 640 Pauling Avenue, Troy, O'Brien's Atlantic, 112 Broad Street, Waterford, McCabe Shell Service, 670 Husick Road, Troy
• 9:19
  or consult the yellow pages for the U-Haul dealer nearest you.
• 9:23
  Music
• 9:51
  He gives with one more game left before hanging up that number 41 after 10 years in the Yankee organization.
• 10:00
  He'll go down, he'll be number one I guess in Mississippi at least for his baseball club.
• 10:06
  Jake I think is pretty much looking forward to that Frank Messer.
• 10:10
  Yes he is and Jake says there's a lot of work involved.
• 10:14
  He is behind a little bit right now in his football program. He'll get there late.
• 10:18
  It could take him two or three weeks of work. He's 18 maybe 20 hours a day just to catch up with his paperwork in there.
• 10:27
  But he said once he gets organized things will settle down.
• 10:32
  And of course he won't be in actual coaching until next spring when it's time to start working out the baseball team.
• 10:39
  They do work out in the fall down there but they don't play a fall schedule.
• 10:42
  He said they would work out without him this fall because he has to devote all his time to the football recruiting when he gets there.
• 10:48
  Del Unser leads off playing center field left hand batter.
• 10:52
  Mel Stottlemeyer winds and deals and Unser takes inside ball one.
• 10:57
  Unser is hitting 256.
• 11:00
  He went one for four last night.
• 11:03
  Good speed, good arm.
• 11:06
  He runs up to Budd and takes a strike.
• 11:09
  Count evens up at one and one.
• 11:13
  I saw this kid Unser in batting practice practice that little stroke he had last night.
• 11:17
  Some way he can hold the bat that he can pop the ball over the pitcher's head.
• 11:21
  Now of course that's in batting practice and with Stottlemeyer throwing a sinker it might be a little harder to do.
• 11:26
  He did pop one like that last night for his base hit.
• 11:30
  Swings away and pops this one up foul down the third base line. Hanson is calling for it.
• 11:35
  Hanson is there and he makes the catch.
• 11:37
  Hanson better than half way down to the plate when he pulled that one in and very well over in foul territory.
• 11:44
  Unser is out one down and it brings up the third baseman, Clubby Hara.
• 11:50
  Hara is hitting two for four in this series and on the year 224 he's been up a hundred and
• 11:59
  he's been in 125 games. He's been up 375 times with 84 hits.
• 12:04
  He's a right hand batter. Stottlemeyer winds and deals and he is just a bit high I guess.
• 12:11
  Looked like he had the plate.
• 12:18
  Lou Demuro the plate umpire holds his hand up signifying time is out.
• 12:23
  Nots back in as Hara is set.
• 12:25
  Stottlemeyer's next pitch swung on and fouled back into the upper deck.
• 12:30
  One ball one strike. Speaking of the upper deck I noticed Frank Howard was asked about the baseball
• 12:36
  operation here and he said well if I owned the ball Clubby said I think I can make it work.
• 12:40
  He said I'd close the upper deck and save those cleaning costs.
• 12:43
  Put a fence up in center field and raise the fences in right and left.
• 12:47
  Pitch is lined out of the right center field and Torres has to play it on a bounce.
• 12:51
  It's in there for the base set and Hara's on.
• 12:56
  Frank Howard said that he would also shorten the distance between the plate and the stands bring the
• 13:00
  people closer to the ball game and concentrate on trying to get 20,000 people a game to sit in here
• 13:05
  where they could see it.
• 13:09
  That's food for thought.
• 13:12
  Well you know you look out there people out there in those center field upper deck I'm told pay $2 for
• 13:17
  those seats and they are well away from the action in this ball game.
• 13:23
  It's a big ballpark and the fans are not that close to the action.
• 13:27
  They don't want to sit right on top of it.
• 13:29
  I'm sure they'd like to be a little closer than they are here.
• 13:33
  Hara at first base and Larry Bittner left hand hitter steps in.
• 13:36
  Throw to first base Hara gets back.
• 13:38
  Fully failed to play first tonight for the Yankees.
• 13:41
  Larry Bittner is batting 257.
• 13:43
  He has 43 base hits.
• 13:47
  15 runs batted in the runner goes the pitch is taken the throw to second base is high and he's safe.
• 13:52
  Jake Gibbs forces Michael into the air to take the throw and it's a stolen base.
• 13:58
  By Toby Ha and the pitch was taken for a strike by the left hand swinging Larry Bittner.
• 14:04
  So the Senators go to a running game early here and they have a runner in scoring position now with one away.
• 14:12
  Stolen base number 10 for Hara.
• 14:16
  One strike pitch swung on and missed by Bittner.
• 14:31
  The outfield is spread out on Bittner deep and right, deep and center.
• 14:35
  Quite straight away and left.
• 14:38
  Infield shaves him just a step or two to the first base side.
• 14:43
  Stretch by Stottlemyre checks the runner over the right shoulder and delivers.
• 14:46
  Pitch is popped up foul outside of third.
• 14:48
  Hanson in pursuit.
• 14:49
  He will not have a play.
• 14:51
  Ball comes down in the seats.
• 14:58
  No balls two strikes on Larry Bittner.
• 15:03
  Did Frank Howard say anything about getting some major league ballplayers when he mentioned his other ideas?
• 15:09
  He said there were some major league ballplayers he didn't think should go to Texas including himself.
• 15:14
  He'd like to stay here.
• 15:16
  He doesn't want to stay here but he wants to go to another ball.
• 15:18
  A one-two pitch.
• 15:19
  Hit in the air out of the left field.
• 15:21
  Coming hard for it is White.
• 15:22
  Still coming, still coming.
• 15:23
  On the dead run can he get a one-hand catch just in fair territory and he runs it all the way into third base.
• 15:29
  Roy White had to come a long way for it and got it just before he crossed the foul line and a one-hand grab.
• 15:36
  Frank Howard said he'd like to be treated.
• 15:38
  He doesn't want to go to Texas.
• 15:40
  He wants to play ball.
• 15:41
  He said he thinks he has another two or three years.
• 15:43
  Anyway, he wants to play with an established club and he would prefer to play with a club closer to his home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
• 15:52
  But his feeling on this is he said let him take a young ball club down to Texas.
• 15:55
  Let it grow up with a new territory.
• 15:57
  He said don't take us.
• 15:59
  He said don't take me.
• 16:01
  Take some of the younger players down there.
• 16:03
  Let me go somewhere else.
• 16:07
  He's up here right now.
• 16:09
  Big man hitting 277.
• 16:11
  Lines the first pitch to left.
• 16:12
  Roy White makes a diving trap of it.
• 16:15
  The run scores.
• 16:16
  White came up rolling, holding the ball up.
• 16:19
  But he does not argue the call by second base umpire Jake O'Donnell who raced out there to take a look.
• 16:25
  White's all for it.
• 16:27
  Trapped it on a very short hop.
• 16:30
  It's a single for Howard, a run about it in.
• 16:33
  It's a single for Frank Howard, his 81st RBI.
• 16:37
  He has hit 25 home runs.
• 16:39
  He says he doesn't think he's had that bad a year.
• 16:41
  He said of course I've had better years.
• 16:43
  But he said a lot of people have had worse.
• 16:47
  Senators break on top, one to nothing as Howard drives in the run from second base with a line single to left.
• 16:52
  And here is Jeff Burrows, the right fielder.
• 16:54
  He's a right hand batter.
• 16:56
  Takes a pitch low, ball one.
• 16:58
  Burrows is hitting 237.
• 17:00
  Five home runs, 25 RBI's.
• 17:04
  He's been in only 57 ball games for the Senators.
• 17:10
  Alou holding on Frank Howard at first base.
• 17:13
  Big man takes it shortly.
• 17:14
  Now Alou jumps back and the pitch is swung on and missed for a strike, one and one.
• 17:19
  You know they're going to like Hondo down there in Texas.
• 17:24
  Frank Lester.
• 17:25
  He's Texas sized, I'll say that.
• 17:27
  Yeah, he's called Hondo, isn't that a Texas name?
• 17:29
  So.
• 17:34
  Next pitch here, check swing and it's over for a strike.
• 17:37
  Breaking ball from Stoudelmeyer, one and two.
• 17:40
  Senators leading one to nothing.
• 17:43
  The running game cashed in for the run.
• 17:46
  Hara single stole second and scored on Frank Howard's line single to left that was just off the glove of Roy White.
• 17:54
  This pitch is bounced foul down the third base line.
• 17:57
  In between Felipe Alou and Nellie Fox, both of them bent down, neither one came up with it.
• 18:03
  Now Nellie's saying that was your ball Felipe and Alou's saying, oh no, that was your ball.
• 18:16
  A ball and two strikes, two outs, Howard at first base.
• 18:20
  Stoudelmeyer comes set at the belt, kicks and deals, pitches in there for a called strike three and the side is out.
• 18:26
  But the Senators take the lead with one run on two base hits.
• 18:30
  There were no Yankees and a man left at the end of one.
• 18:33
  The score, Washington one and New York nothing.
• 18:37

  But do it now. Once in a season like this isn't going to last forever.
• 19:40
  Well, Roy White will lead off with the Yankees here in the top of the second.
• 19:44
  Washington has jumped off again to a lead, early lead, which they have done it seems against the Yankees
• 19:49
  every game that played them Frank Messer.
• 19:52
  It seems like they have it on the scoreboard off the early bill.
• 19:55
  Roy White established a new American League record when he hit his 17th sacrifice fly in this ballpark last night.
• 20:02
  He's up there right handed against the Southpaw Schellenbach in the first pitch to Roy.
• 20:05
  Curve his foul back, strike one.
• 20:07
  Roy White hitting 290, 18 home runs, 83 runs batted in.
• 20:12
  He is second to Bobby Mercer in most offensive categories.
• 20:15
  Leads him in one and that's in triples.
• 20:17
  White has seven, Bobby has six.
• 20:23
  Next pitch to him, another breaking pitch, hit in the air to shallow center field.
• 20:26
  Coming hard is Unser and the ball falls in for the base hit.
• 20:30
  Unser couldn't get it through to first base and he is safe in a close play.
• 20:35
  Roy White made a big turnaround first base and he was almost thrown out by Jeff Burrows, the right fielder.
• 20:41
  It was Burrows who picked the ball up after it fell in between Unser coming in
• 20:46
  and Ragland going back.
• 20:48
  Ragland gave way to Unser and Unser just couldn't get to it.
• 20:52
  It's a base hit for Roy White.
• 20:55
  Burrows grabbed that ball and fired it into first base where Bittner got it.
• 21:00
  Swept for the tag and White slid back just under it.
• 21:03
  Fully pay a little now.
• 21:05
  Over one last night as a pinch hitter.
• 21:07
  Drills one in the air foul down the right side and it is just into the seats in the first roll.
• 21:12
  Fully pay a little, got off to a slow start this year with the Yankees but now he's hitting 283.
• 21:19
  131 base hits.
• 21:21
  Eight home runs, 67 runs putted in.
• 21:28
  Fully pay his wife Beverly and the two youngsters will be leaving for their home in Atlanta.
• 21:34
  He bounces this one to third and it is over the head of Toby Howe.
• 21:37
  Out in the left field for a base hit Roy White digging for third, the throw goes into second base
• 21:42
  and the Yankees have runners on the corners.
• 21:46
  Fully pay a little, chopped that ball to the left side.
• 21:49
  He bounced it over Howe's head.
• 21:51
  He shuts up Tommy Mason going in behind Howe.
• 21:55
  Couldn't get it either.
• 21:56
  The ball bounce through into left field and Roy White running hard goes into third.
• 22:07
  Runners at the corners, Ron Hanson now.
• 22:10
  Ronnie went over four last night.
• 22:13
  Veteran playing for the injured Jerry Kenny.
• 22:15
  Swings on the first pitch, pops it up on the right side of the infield.
• 22:18
  This will not get the run in.
• 22:19
  Ragland the second baseman makes the catch.
• 22:22
  Back about three steps in the right field grass.
• 22:24
  Hanson is out and there's one away.
• 22:27
  At seven, the catcher for 41, Jake Gibbs.
• 22:36
  Jake Gibbs now.
• 22:43
  Jake could be playing his last game for the Yankees tonight.
• 22:49
  Gibbs is hitting 218 and the first pitch from the left hander is swung on and missed.
• 22:55
  Breaking ball, sharp breaking pitch from Schellendag.
• 23:00
  What the heck of a farewell present for Jake Gibbs in here against the left hander Schellendag.
• 23:04
  You know I saw him usual with his last at bat against Maloney.
• 23:07
  Maloney struck him out a couple of times.
• 23:09
  This pitch is lined back up the middle and it is smothered by Ragland.
• 23:13
  He flips to Jim Mason.
• 23:14
  They've got a fourth at second.
• 23:16
  White scores and the Yankees tie it up.
• 23:18
  But a fine play by Johnny Ragland as he dove to his right, smothered the ball, he came up hurt.
• 23:26
  The trainer running out there, he came up with the ball and flipped it to Jim Mason at second base to force Felipe Alou.
• 23:35
  Roy White dashed across the plate and the Yankees have tied it up.
• 23:38
  Ragland appears to be okay.
• 23:40
  He came down very hard it seems on his right shoulder.
• 23:45
  They're checking him over and he appears to be okay.
• 23:48
  Gibbs is cutted with a run batted in.
• 23:52
  Bill White that was quite a play by Ragland.
• 23:54
  That ball looked like it was going to get through on the center field.
• 23:56
  He went a long way behind the bag.
• 23:58
  Goal that and he grabbed it.
• 24:00
  Although he evidently hurt himself, he had enough wits about him to get the ball to Mason and he got the force out.
• 24:06
  That possibly saved the run because the guy would have gone on to third base.
• 24:11
  Okay, Gibbs is on, two are down and Gene Michael the batter hitting right handed, swings on the first pitch and drills it through it on that field base hit.
• 24:19
  Jake Gibbs takes second and holds on as Frank Howard throws into third.
• 24:24
  Gene Michael wasting no time jumping on the first base.
• 24:28
  And that was base hit number 101 on the season for Gene Michael.
• 24:34
  Talking about Gibbs getting that curve ball in the farewell.
• 24:37
  I remember unusual with Maloney. Maloney told all the reporters about how much he admired unusual.
• 24:43
  You know as a kid and seen him in high school he throws him a spitball, strikes him up first time up.
• 24:48
  Oh no.
• 24:49
  First pitch to Mel Stottlemeyer hitting the end of left field coming hard, Howard lumbering after it in foul territory, can't reach it.
• 24:57
  The shortstop Jim Mason was as close to the ball as was Frank Howard.
• 25:02
  Deep down the left field line in foul territory neither one could quite reach it and Mel Stottlemeyer is still alive.
• 25:09
  No balls and a strike. Gibbs goes back to second, Michael back to first.
• 25:14
  Stottlemeyer with a 178 batting average shows 16 base hits.
• 25:18
  One home run, 11 runs batted in.
• 25:28
  Stottlemeyer after saves the Yankees best hitting pitcher.
• 25:33
  Pitch time is low for a ball, one and one.
• 25:39
  Stottlemeyer with 16 base hits, Dan Bonson has 12.
• 25:44
  Nobody is close to Mel and runs batted in as far as the pitchers are concerned.
• 25:48
  He gets another pitch down, low ball to it's two and one.
• 25:54
  Scores tied one to one, Jake Gibbs at second, Gene Michael at first.
• 26:02
  Two balls and a strike to Mel Stottlemeyer right hand batter.
• 26:07
  He swings on a bad pitch.
• 26:10
  And the count is two and two. Stottlemeyer was fooled on that one, swung on a pitch down in the derrick. Two balls, two strikes.
• 26:20
  The ball actually hit almost between the mound and own plate. Mel really was going to get that one.
• 26:27
  And that is mine made up. Now the two-two. Swing and a missed strike three. Stottlemeyer strikes out and that retires the side.
• 26:34
  The Yankees tie the ball game with one run on three hits. There were no Washington Errors and two men are left.
• 26:39
  At the end of one and a half the score, the Yankees won and the Senators won.
• 26:47
  You know how it is with that first cold beer. It goes down so easy and it tastes so good.
• 26:54
  Now wouldn't it be great if your second beer tasted just the same. Just as smooth and just as bright.
• 27:01
  And imagine getting all that first beer pleasure every beer through. Man that would be some kind of beer. And Schaefer beer is.
• 27:13
  Schaefer is the one beer you have when you're having more than one. Schaefer pleasure doesn't fade when your first is done.
• 27:27
  The most rewarding flavor in this man's world for people who are having fun. Schaefer is the one beer you have when you're having more than one.
• 27:43
  It's a brand new ball game here in Washington and that's the slogan here. Wasn't that the one Mr. Schaefer established when he brought Ted Williams in to manage this ball club?
• 28:01
  It's a brand new ball game somewhere in Arlington, Texas.
• 28:10
  Here is Fahey the catcher. First time I've ever seen this young man.
• 28:15
  He's looking for his first major league base hit and he looks at a strike right here.
• 28:22
  Bill Fahey about at 285 at Pitchfield in the Eastern League. Swings on the next pitch, bounces it slowly and foul down the first baseline. Strike two.
• 28:45
  No balls, two strikes. Fahey's been up four times. Swings on this pitch, ground ball deep and hold it short, backhanded by Michael to throw the first base to stretch.
• 28:59
  He's out. Gene Michael throws him out to a stretching Felipe Alou. One down and it brings up the shortstop Jim Mason.
• 29:09
  Mason went one for three last night. The base hit was his first in the major leagues. Left hand batter.
• 29:23
  They play him pretty much up the middle. Outfield is spread. The first pitch to him, taking low ball one, started to swing and checked it.
• 29:38
  Mason has good speed, good arm. Hits this pitch on the ground, through the hole on the left side out of the left field base hit.
• 29:46
  Hanson to his left, Michael to his right. Neither one could get to it. Ball just skipped through and that is base hit number three for the Senators.
• 29:53
  Mason is on with one gun and it brings up Tom Ragland, the second baseman. Ragland the right hand batter.
• 30:02
  He went one for three last night. He's been up 16 times with three base hits.
• 30:11
  The pitcher Jim Schellenbach will be on deck. He has not yet come out.
• 30:23
  First pitch to Ragland. Hits slowly on the ground right side. Alou is up with his flips to Stottlemeyer in time. They got him at first base.
• 30:31
  Quick reflexes by Stottlemeyer made that play. Felipe Alou came up, flipped the ball all in the same motion and almost threw it over Mel's head.
• 30:39
  Stottlemeyer had to reach high for it and not break stride going over to first base. Pulled the ball in and they made the play.
• 30:47
  That's a tough play both for Alou and for Stottlemeyer because he got the ball just as they were passing. Alou going in toward the mound. Stottlemeyer going toward first base.
• 30:56
  That's a pretty good ball. That's a pretty good play there.
• 30:59
  Jim Schellenbach steps in with a runner at second and a chance to help his own cause. Takes a pitch low and inside. He's a left hand batter.
• 31:08
  That's also one play a left handed first baseman I don't think could have made.
• 31:13
  He would have to try to go to second base because he'd have to turn completely around and then find Stottlemeyer and throw it to him. By that time the runner would have been by the bag.
• 31:21
  Especially a runner as fast as Ragland. Schellenbach swings and misses for a strike and the count is one and one.
• 31:27
  Let's see what Schellenbach has done with the bat this year. He's been up 30 times with five base hits. One run butted in.
• 31:38
  You say the Yankees sort of keeping Schellenbach in the league. His three wins this year have all been against New York. Three and ten is his record. One one pitch.
• 31:48
  Low and inside. Ball two. Two balls and one strike. They tell me really in all fairness to Schellenbach that he has pitched well against other clubs.
• 31:58
  He either got into no decision, lost a tough decision. It amazes me that they don't bunt much on him.
• 32:10
  He bounces this one off the plate. It's going to come down in foul territory. So he's still up there with a two and two count.
• 32:16
  Why do you say that Bill? Well because he this is professional baseball and he had a you should say well you should feel sorry for somebody.
• 32:23
  But he did have an accident in Puerto Rico and his left leg has been busted up and he can't move.
• 32:28
  And over in the other league they butted on him quite a bit and just simply can't get to the ball.
• 32:38
  His mobility isn't as much as it should be.
• 32:43
  Alright Stottlemeyer will work down again. And he hits this one slowly toward the second baseman Clark.
• 32:49
  He cannot run at all as he goes down to first base. Clark makes the play easily and he is out.
• 32:54
  Schellenbach retired. So are the Senators. No runs, a base hit, no errors and a man left.
• 32:59
  And at the end of two the score is New York one and Washington one.
• 33:03
  If you're going to move why not do it yourself with U-Haul as more than six million families do every year.
• 33:09
  Save as much as 50 percent or more of the usual cost and move at your convenience not someone else's.
• 33:15
  U-Haul trucks and trailers are available in a full range of sizes.
• 33:19
  There's one that's just right for your move.
• 33:21
  You can rent equipment from your nearest U-Haul dealer and leave it with a dealer in your new neighborhood.
• 33:26
  Even if you're going clear across the country.
• 33:29
  U-Haul has low one-way rental rates, insurance, guaranteed tires and free road service.
• 33:35
  And cargo insurance is included on trucks and trailers.
• 33:38
  U-Haul has a moving guide that helps plan your move and makes the job a lot easier.
• 33:43
  Stop in at your nearest U-Haul dealers.
• 33:46
  Mendetta's Arco 109 South Main Street Gloversville, Olson's Rotary Service, 24 Lower Warren Street, Glens Falls,
• 33:53
  Bellevue Motors, Inc., 1902 Broadway Schenectady, or consult the yellow pages for the U-Haul dealer nearest you.
• 34:02
  This is the New York Yankee baseball network. Let's file authorization identification.
• 34:07
  This is Steve Fitz, your contact host.
• 34:09
  Follow us weeknights from eight to midnight.
• 34:11
  Hear on the fresh air sound of Radio 81, WGY Schenectady.
• 34:16
  Checking base for Horace Clark.
• 34:23
  The Yankees present the top of the batting order as we go to the third inning.
• 34:26
  Horace Clark called out on strikes on three pitches in the first inning.
• 34:30
  Van Torey's and Mercer's.
• 34:32
  First pitch to Clark. Her ball is fouled back.
• 34:39
  Jim Schellenbach.
• 34:42
  Bill mentioned him being in the other league. He pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates over in the National League.
• 34:53
  He's upstairs, one-on-one.
• 34:55
  You know, Frank, talking about Schellenbach, he's made an amazing recovery.
• 34:58
  They didn't think over there he'd ever be able to play baseball again. His leg was so badly mangled.
• 35:06
  He delivers high and away to Clark, and the count is two balls and one strike.
• 35:12
  Automobile accident after the 67th season, I believe it was.
• 35:17
  Who's that left-hander you pitched for the A's that had Fulio?
• 35:21
  Pitch is inside, ball three.
• 35:23
  Lou Brissy. Lou Brissy pitched with a brace on blue.
• 35:30
  Not too bad a pitcher.
• 35:35
  Three balls and a strike here to Clark.
• 35:37
  And this pitch is lined to center. Got it up around eye-high and out over the plate, and Horace Clark drilled it.
• 35:45
  That will be base set number four for the Yankees.
• 35:59
  Just talking about Lou Brissy, I believe it was a wound, a gunshot wound.
• 36:02
  That's what Phil Rizzuto said, and Phil said they used to bully him because Phil was fun on him. But that's baseball.
• 36:10
  Rusty Torres swings on the first pitch and fouls it back. Strike one.
• 36:15
  Hey, that's what I'd have to do against that left-hander. I'd have to buddy.
• 36:21
  They're not going to apologize after I got my first base, you know. So I'm sorry. You wouldn't do it, Phil? Don't apologize. All right.
• 36:30
  No balls and a strike on Torres. Rusty granted after the shortstop his first time up. Bobby Mercer is on deck. Clark takes his lead.
• 36:37
  The look by Schell and back in the pitch. Lined out toward left field, and Frank Hard will never get to it. It's in for the base set.
• 36:43
  Horace Clark trots down to second base as Howard wheels and deals at the third.
• 36:48
  So Torres continues his hot-hitting. Four hits in five at bat Sunday off Lowlitch in Detroit. He went two for four here last night, and now he has a base hit in two trips in this ballgame.
• 37:00
  Runners at first and second, and Bobby Mercer grounded out to the shortstop Mace at his first time up.
• 37:09
  He's done the bulk of that hitting right-handed, hasn't he, Frank? The bulk of his hitting has been done right-handed, hasn't it?
• 37:14
  Torres, yes.
• 37:15
  Yeah. Switch hitter. It's like he hits for a high average right-handed. Power left-handed.
• 37:20
  That's what Torres told me. He said he felt he was a better hitter right-handed, but he had more power left-handed.
• 37:26
  All right, Schellenbach deals here. Mercer swings on the first one, fouls it back toward the seats down the left side, deep into the lower deck.
• 37:32
  Frank won.
• 37:43
  You've got to say now, Bobby Mercer needs a base hit.
• 37:48
  He wants to catch Tony Olavi. He wants it the worst way in the world.
• 37:54
  Schellenbach's on one time. Here it comes. He squares to butt and takes the bat away from a high pitch, a ball, one and one.
• 38:03
  Down at third base, Toby Hauer plays him about a step back from the infield grass and wide of the line.
• 38:08
  The shortstop Mason and the second baseman Ragland are up the middle, hoping for the double play.
• 38:14
  Over at first base, Bittner is deep. The runner's edge away in the pitch.
• 38:19
  Her ball is wide right at Bittner. He throws to second safe.
• 38:24
  Clark got back. Larry Bittner grabs Mercer's line drive. And there's one down.
• 38:32
  Bittner didn't waste an instant. He fired that ball across to Mason, the shortstop at second.
• 38:36
  But Morris Clark alertly got back. And there's one away. Mercer hit the ball right on the nose, but right at Bittner.
• 38:48
  Bobby now hitting 330. Roy White steps in, single at center field leading off the second.
• 38:54
  He hit a fly ball that fell in. And he takes a fast ball, low ball one.
• 39:00
  White popped one that dropped in between Unser and Ragland.
• 39:04
  He went to third base on Felipe Alou's base hit and scored as Jake Gibbs rounded into a fourth.
• 39:13
  The pitch time. Strike, runner high on the inside part of the plate, one and one.
• 39:22
  Roy White, one of the Yankees, will be spending the offseason and winter months in the New York area.
• 39:27
  Will soon be moving into a new home in Wayne, New Jersey.
• 39:31
  One-one delivery. Curve ball is hit high and deep out toward left center field.
• 39:35
  Cruising over there is Unser. He is under it. Clark is tagged at second base, makes Unser's throw.
• 39:40
  And the throw would have been right on the money, cut off by the shortstop Mason and Clark goes back.
• 39:46
  First baseman, Felipe Alou.
• 39:48
  Two down. Runners at first and second and Felipe Alou the batter.
• 39:53
  Alou chops one over the head of Harrod third in the second inning.
• 39:59
  Schumann back once another baseball and gets it.
• 40:07
  This is only the 15th strike for Jim Schumann back this year.
• 40:11
  It's been used as both a starter and reliever.
• 40:17
  Come set at the bow and deals, Alou takes low. Fastball, ball one.
• 40:26
  Baltimore now leads Boston one to nothing at the end of five innings.
• 40:34
  1-0 pitch. Low again, ball two.
• 40:39
  Right here the score is tied. Yankees one and the Senators one in the top half of the third.
• 40:44
  Two on with two gone. Clark at second, Torrey's at first.
• 40:54
  Schumann back, shakes off a sign given by Bill Fahey, gets another one and delivers.
• 40:59
  Foul back and the count will be two balls and one strike.
• 41:08
  Scoreboard has it one and one. Played on by Lou DiMuro trying to get him to direct it.
• 41:19
  Two and one pitch will be coming to Felipe Alou. Schumann back into the belt.
• 41:24
  Kicks and deals, fastball is bounced this time to the shortstop. Mason's got it, goes to Ragland.
• 41:29
  They have the force on Torrey's and the side is retired.
• 41:33
  Mason to Ragland to force Torrey's and for the Yankees no runs, two hits.
• 41:37
  There were no Senator errors and two men left.
• 41:39
  At the end of the top half of the third inning it's still the Yankees one and the Washington Senators one.
• 41:46
  I close the room, close the room. You think I forget that this is a mighty fight.
• 41:56
  But sometimes I really, really don't give a fuck. I close the room, close the room. I close the room, close the room.
• 42:10
  Busy man on the go, busy man high and low. Busy man on the job, busy man to show. Busy man on the way, busy man running low.
• 42:24
  Arco Supreme, great gasoline. You may only get a little more mileage on it, but sometimes a little more is enough. Arco Supreme, great gasoline. Arco Supreme.
• 42:44
  The Washington Senators have the common airbounding order coming up here in the lower half of the third.
• 42:55
  Del Unser, Toby Howard and Larry Bittner.
• 42:58
  Unser popped up in foul territory to Ron Hanson his first time up and Hanson comes in on the grass to play the left hand hitter tight.
• 43:10
  Stottlemyre Wines in his first pitch. Swung on and missed strike one.
• 43:18
  Yankees with one run on five hits. The Senators one run on three hits.
• 43:25
  Upfield plays him just a step to the left side. He lines this one right at Clark. He's got it.
• 43:31
  Morris Clark moved a step to his right, pulled in the line drive and there's one away.
• 43:39
  And now the third baseman, Toby Harris. Harris played most of the season at shortstop for the Senators.
• 43:47
  Well now they're giving him a look at third base.
• 43:51
  I think Frankie looks a lot more aggressive with the bat than he has at any time that I've seen him this year.
• 43:57
  He's getting ahead of that bat out real good for Washington.
• 44:02
  Alright he drilled a base hit to right field in the first inning. Takes high and away ball one. Then he stole second and came in to score the run on Frank Howard's base hit to left.
• 44:14
  He hasn't, he isn't hitting much for average but he's stinging the ball now.
• 44:20
  He takes the stride but not the swing and it's called ball two. Stottlemyre and Gibbs both wonder why.
• 44:29
  Two balls and no strikes. One out, nobody on. Stottlemyre working again. Here's a pitch, bunted down the third baseline.
• 44:34
  It's going to be trouble. Stottlemyre's up with it.
• 44:36
  It goes past the loop. The ball bounces up and the fan is after it. He can't get to it.
• 44:41
  Now Torres in from right field grabs the ball over behind first base.
• 44:47
  And out into second base.
• 44:50
  Toby Harris. He'll get a base hit and an error will be charged to Stottlemyre.
• 44:57
  Melwood off the mound to the third baseline. Picked the ball up barehanded.
• 45:01
  Hurryed his throw to first base and threw it past Felipe Alou.
• 45:07
  Rusty Torres really hustled on that play. That ball was nowhere near right field territory.
• 45:12
  It was just up the line from the first base dugout and Torres was the first man to get to the ball.
• 45:18
  Eric could have gone on to third base but he really slid into second base and by the time he got up he had no chance to move over to third.
• 45:28
  All the Senators have a runner in scoring position.
• 45:31
  And Larry Bittner the batter flied out the left his first time up. He's a left hand hitter.
• 45:36
  White comes in a few steps in left field.
• 45:40
  Swings on the first pitch line, drive base hit into left center. That will get the run home.
• 45:45
  The ball gets past Bobby Mercer all the way to the fence. Bittner running hard around second.
• 45:50
  On his way to third, Mercer's throw in to Dean Michael the juxtap raced out to meet it.
• 45:55
  And Larry Bittner is in at third base.
• 45:59
  We'll see how they score it. The ball went right through Bobby Mercer in left center field and rolled to the fence.
• 46:08
  It will be a single, a run batted in and Bobby Mercer will be charged with a two base error in center field allowing Bittner to go to third.
• 46:19
  The Washington Senators now lead 2-1 and the batter is Frank Holler.
• 46:30
  The error charged to Mercer is his fifth of the year.
• 46:36
  Holler drove home a run in the first inning with a single to left.
• 46:40
  The pitch gone, swung out in line to left field. That's going to be in for the base hit.
• 46:44
  On from third base comes Bittner and the Senators now lead 3-1. Holler has his second run batted in.
• 46:58
  A 3-1 ball game.
• 47:02
  Hard on at first base with one out and the batter is Jeff Burrows who was called out on strikes in the first inning.
• 47:15
  Burrows the right hand batter.
• 47:18
  The Yankees will get the ball bound up.
• 47:24
  Frank is called on the inside corner.
• 47:29
  The Yankees need a win tonight to assure themselves that no work is on a 500 season.
• 47:35
  They have 180 and lost 80.
• 47:40
  That's pick the Burrows, swing and a miss on a fastball strike two.
• 47:44
  Left hander Alan Foster is up in the Yankee bullpen.
• 47:54
  You hear the fans here, a noisy group as they start kicking their feet, clapping their hands.
• 48:01
  They want more runs across the plate for their Senators.
• 48:05
  0-2 pitches inside. A ball and two strikes.
• 48:13
  Big sign out here last night proclaim the new ball club should be called the Dallas Ducks.
• 48:20
  They're calling them the lame duck ball club right now.
• 48:24
  1-2 pitch. It's deep to left center field. Roy White is there now, makes the catch.
• 48:31
  And Frank Howard thought there were two outs. He's going to be doubled up.
• 48:34
  Gene Michael has the ball, throws over to first base and Frank Howard thinking there were two outs running all the way is easily doubled up at first.
• 48:43
  That retires the side but the Senators have taken the lead. Score that play on the double play incidentally.
• 48:50
  White to Michael to Alou or 7-6-3.
• 48:55
  The Senators come up with two runs on three hits. There were two Yankee errors and nobody left on base.
• 49:00
  At the end of three the score, the Washington Senators three runs, six hits and no errors.
• 49:05
  The New York Yankees one run, five hits and two errors.
• 49:11
  We'll take a look at other scores for you right now.
• 49:17
  Milwaukee and Chicago not yet underway.
• 49:20
  This afternoon Oakland beat Kansas City 8-7 so the Oakland A's have won their 101st ball game.
• 49:27
  The winning pitcher Bob Locker's 7-2 working in relief. The loser Ted Abernathy 4-6.
• 49:34
  Home runs in the ball game Bob Oliver had two for Kansas City and Paul Schall had one but Oakland won it 8-7.
• 49:43
  Tonight Baltimore leads Boston 1-0 at the end of 5-1-1 on a home run by Brooks Robinson his 20th.
• 49:49
  Mike Garman pitching for the Red Sox. Jackson started for Baltimore Tom Dukes relieved in the sixth inning.
• 49:56
  Minnesota shutout California 1-0 as the young hard-throwing Burt Blyron climbed above the 500 mark 16-15.
• 50:04
  Right the loser 16-17 the only run a homer by Rick Renick his first of the year.
• 50:10
  And we'll cover other scores for you as we go along but right now we're ready for the fourth inning and to tell you all about it here's Phil Rizzuto.
• 50:17
  Hi Frank Metsa thank you very much.
• 50:21
  Ronnie Hanson who popped his second base his first time up is up for the Yankees they trail 3-1.
• 50:27
  Schellenbach's pitch is high and outside.
• 50:32
  One ball one strike.
• 50:34
  Phil at the end of one and a half it's Cleveland 1 and Detroit nothing.
• 50:37
  Mickey Lowlich going for his 26th win and Vince Colbert pitching for Cleveland.
• 50:42
  There's a line drive foul ball down the left field line off the wall.
• 50:46
  Well the Yankees made sure Lowlich didn't win his 26 when they beat him 3-2 out there in Detroit behind Fritz Peterson.
• 50:54
  Clubs now like to knock off those top pitches and top clubs.
• 51:03
  A ball and two strikes on Ronnie Hanson a left-handed Jim Schellenbach delivers a line drive one-handed by the shortstop.
• 51:12
  Mason Yankees hitting that ball on the nose but not having very good direction one away.
• 51:18
  Jake Gibbs who was robbed of a base hit his first time up on a diving sliding backhand grab by the youngster at second base Tom Ragland.
• 51:26
  He flipped it to the shortstop for a force play saved a big inning that the Yankees might have had.
• 51:37
  Jim Schellenbach who's staying in the big leagues because he can beat the Yankees sends in a strike on the first pitch to Jake Gibbs.
• 51:47
  A lot of ball players have stayed in the big leagues because they can hit maybe one pitcher or one club very well or a pitcher pitches very well against just one club.
• 51:55
  There's strike two nothing in two.
• 52:05
  Schellenbach back in a hurry curve bounce down the first base line through and out to right field.
• 52:11
  Gibbs is around first base and then comes back as Burroughs fires the ball in and that'll be a base hit for Jake Gibbs right under the glove of the first baseman Larry Bittner.
• 52:24
  That brings up Gene Michael who lined a single left field his first time up.
• 52:30
  And it is leading three to one. Boy they have really had the Yankees number this year.
• 52:39
  One out in a third is Toby Harrah the pitch to Michael is a curve hit in the air to center field on to digging hard coming in he's under and now one hands the ball bluffs the throw to first and Gibbs goes back.
• 52:50
  Hunter a fine defensive center fielder. Two men out here is Mel Staudelmeyer Mel struck out his first time up.
• 53:07
  Gibbs at first with two men out. Normally Mel hits very well down here in the nation's capital as a foul off the plate hit Mel in the hip strike one.
• 53:20
  I realize I was going to say if I could didn't realize how upset Big Frank Howard is and the idea of the senators moving out of here.
• 53:26
  We're talking about that earlier he wants to be traded. He doesn't want to go to Texas.
• 53:31
  He wants to be traded to a contender to go out on top.
• 53:37
  Schellenbach's curve is on the inside corner strike to call.
• 53:47
  He could be a big hero down there I don't know the dimensions of the fences in the ballpark down there.
• 53:54
  I've pitched just outside a ball and two strikes but normally when they build a team in the minor leagues they don't make them to be there have been a couple of exceptions.
• 54:03
  I remember the one the old Baltimore club used to play in before they moved into the new park.
• 54:09
  I don't think it had any fence change up is in their strike three called Staudelmeyer called out second time Mel has been struck out.
• 54:18
  The Yankees no runs ahead no errors and a man left and if you end up three and a half it's Washington three and the Yankees one.
• 54:36
  The village blacksmith was one of the men who built America.
• 54:40
  He shot many a horse forged many a plow and built many a mighty thirst a more than one beer thirst.
• 54:47
  The kind of thirst that took more than one cold beer to satisfy and that's where Schaeffer came in.
• 54:54
  We built a beer for the men who built America.
• 54:58
  We started practicing on more than one beer thirst back before most brewers even started brewing and practice makes perfect.
• 55:08
  Today Schaeffer has the unmatched quality of flavor that never fades.
• 55:12
  Schaeffer is made for the more than one beer man.
• 55:15
  Always has been always will be.
• 55:18
  Schaeffer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.
• 55:32
  I understand fellas the new ballpark or the ballpark down in Arlington Texas is a fairly new ballpark.
• 55:38
  Yes absolutely.
• 55:41
  And they have worked together all three mayors from Dallas Fort Worth and Arlington.
• 55:48
  And it's been a real community project.
• 55:51
  There go getters down there.
• 55:54
  Bill Fahey bounced the shortest first time up.
• 55:56
  Michael made an exceptionally fine play on the left hand.
• 55:59
  There's a swing and a miss strike one.
• 56:08
  He had some interesting comments.
• 56:10
  He wondered why the fans and the big shots in the Washington area didn't start this long ago.
• 56:15
  They drive to keep the senators here.
• 56:19
  They waited until short decided to leave and then all the complaints started coming in.
• 56:25
  One on one the count.
• 56:28
  Kurt bounce slowly to second base clock comes in short hops it throws the first in time and there's one away.
• 56:35
  You know all the noise in the background tonight is pop luck night here at our stadium in the nation's capital and everything that's left over there giving away I saw them give away order grab baseball bat panty hose.
• 56:50
  Cap helmet. Good night for the kids almost every kid here is going to walk away with something. Jim Mason single left his first time up takes a curve inside strike one.
• 57:08
  You hear that pounding with a bat. Mel's next pitch on the inside corner strike to call.
• 57:23
  So Mel quickly ahead of Jim Mason that's the sign from Jake it and his pitch swing and a miss and he swung when the ball was in gives his glove he was looking for something didn't get it and was completely full.
• 57:38
  Second strike out Jim in a round and now the better time raglan that'll my head him right off the hands is bad splitting half and it is soft roller to fully bail who flipped him out.
• 57:54
  Two out nobody on three to one the senators lead we're in the bottom of the fourth that'll my pitch is a little low ball one.
• 58:11
  Mel Rocks back Kirby checked it and it's a little bit low ball to do another. We got another pretty good crowd here tonight surprising me and tomorrow radio and television and newspapers are clamoring to fill this ballpark
• 58:28
  and they might just do it a grounded a third Hanson has it on one hop fires over to first and so for Raglan and the senators in the bottom of the fourth three up three down and at the end of four full innings it's Washington three the Yankees one.

  Well I'm with Bobby all the way I'm the kind of guy that would like to try anything once, but not drugs.
• 59:54
  No sir.
• 59:57
  Clock has struck out single a center as the Yankees try to tie this ballgame up a trail three to one Toby Harrah way in at third base.
• 1:00:04
  First pitch is a change up law ball one.
• 1:00:09
  How are really playing clock shallow.
• 1:00:12
  Are it the ball fairly well down there and he has himself a base hit bounces on the plate and all the way back on the screen. Two balls no strikes
• 1:00:30
  on deck rusty Torres
• 1:00:34
  showing backs pitches right down the middle strike call to a month play clock straight away in the outfield.
• 1:00:47
  The two one delivery on the outside corner two balls two strikes are his steps out of the batter's box.
• 1:00:56
  Now back in count is even
• 1:01:08
  to delivery ground ball the fair at our back up as it fires the first he's got a good arm and there's one of
• 1:01:16
  the best in the world and now rusty Torres bounce the short and line the single left field. He is red hot with that bat.
• 1:01:31
  Young man thought he was going to get an early vacation they called him up to play in the mayor's trophy game and Ralph I did not expect to use him anymore
• 1:01:38
  Bobby Mercer was injured they call him up he looks so good he's going to look and give him a good look takes a pitch outside ball one
• 1:01:54
  the pitch is a curve low ball to
• 1:02:10
  the two delivery change a bounce high a big hop to the shortstop the throw to first and it gets off the glove a bit no nonchalant at it.
• 1:02:19
  He takes Torres but rusty did not make the turn that's an error charge to bit now an easy play and he was stretching a little too far as the ball took off
• 1:02:30
  and nonchalant at that catch and went right off the tip of his glove bouncing back. So Bittner is charged with an error and a bad enough Bobby Mercer Bobby has just
• 1:02:39
  missed two base hits thrown out on a very close play by the shortstop in the first inning lined hard to the first baseman in the third one out.
• 1:02:56
  Torres at first stretch by Schellenbach curve just misses outside ball one on deck Roy White Schellenbach comes to the belt curve is low ball to to another.
• 1:03:25
  Bittner now moves in back a rusty Torres down at first base got to protect against the line drive hit by Bobby Mercer the two delivery curve low ball three three and nothing.
• 1:03:45
  I told you Bobby now 0 for 2 Bobby now hitting 330.
• 1:03:56
  He cannot afford to make out any more times at bat if he wants to catch a lever that's a strike right down the middle.
• 1:04:06
  Trails Tony Oliver by seven points a race for the batting crown in the American League three balls to strike one out senators lead three to one top of the fifth left hander sets pitch to Mercer
• 1:04:21
  low ball four and Bobby's on Torres moves to second Mercer to first. That's the first walk by Schellenbach and it's the New York Yankee baseball network report for station identification.
• 1:04:35
  This is W.G.Y. radio 81 Schenectady New York.
• 1:04:46
  You have some karate experts in the next group.
• 1:04:52
  And boy that's a tough sport.
• 1:04:54
  I was messing around with one.
• 1:04:57
  Boy he almost broke my arm. They are strong strong fingers.
• 1:05:10
  The pitch is low and the count is even at one a month.
• 1:05:16
  People are not always what they appear. No, that's right.
• 1:05:20
  I mean you can be very fragile looking and if you take that karate muscles of steel.
• 1:05:29
  The pitch is inside two balls and a strike so the Yankees threatening now.
• 1:05:34
  What is that person second while they trail by two runs here in the top of the fifth.
• 1:05:39
  Roy White the batter and Felipe Lou on deck.
• 1:05:51
  Torres leads off second Mercer off first.
• 1:05:55
  The stretch and the curve low and inside ball three.
• 1:05:59
  So Schellenbach who's had perfect control up to this inning just walk Mercer has a 3-1 count on Roy White.
• 1:06:08
  Yankees would love to finish over 500. They've got to win the next two games to do that.
• 1:06:15
  The pitch on the outside corner Roy had started for first base thought it was ball four.
• 1:06:20
  Lifts his head high in the air.
• 1:06:23
  Now has a little chat with the playdump fire.
• 1:06:26
  But it's a full count three and two.
• 1:06:33
  A karate expert just came in here and I thought he was going to give me a shot in the back of the neck.
• 1:06:41
  The runners go and the pitch is low.
• 1:06:44
  Ball four and the bases are loaded.
• 1:06:55
  The bases are loaded.
• 1:07:00
  White at first, Mercer at second, Torres at third and Felipe Lou who's single left and bounce the short will be the batter.
• 1:07:14
  Well the Yankees with a good chance now.
• 1:07:20
  Schellenbach gets the sign.
• 1:07:24
  Lindblad and Pena loosening up for the Senators a left hander and a right hander. A curve is bounced right into the Yankee dugout.
• 1:07:30
  Strike one.
• 1:07:43
  All three runners leading away Yankees with good speed on the bases.
• 1:07:49
  Curve line back the middle of base hit. This will tie it up. Torres scores. Here comes Mercer. He'll score.
• 1:07:54
  The throw to second and White just does get back in time.
• 1:07:58
  So Felipe Lou coming through with another clutch base hit.
• 1:08:03
  Two more RBIs for Felipe.
• 1:08:06
  As Torres and Mercer score in the ball game it's time three three.
• 1:08:15
  Well fill back early in the year when Felipe Lou was not hitting the ball that well and hitting a lot of shots that were being caught.
• 1:08:21
  A lot of folks were beginning to wonder but now he has 69 runs about it in.
• 1:08:26
  He'll be up around 286.
• 1:08:30
  That he will and he'll be right up to his lifetime average close to 290.
• 1:08:38
  Ron Hanson has popped a second in line hard to short. Roy White at second. Felipe Lou at first. Only one out.
• 1:08:45
  Yankees have bounced back with two runs in the top of the fifth to tie the score.
• 1:08:51
  Schellenbach sets. White's going. He had a delayed start and the ball is fouled off.
• 1:08:55
  Roy started then stopped as Raglin started a run over from second base and then took off again.
• 1:09:01
  Felipe Lou is not running.
• 1:09:06
  Well the count is one and one. Hanson swung at the pitch and just did nub it foul.
• 1:09:10
  Would have been a good pitch for White to steal on it with an off speed pitch.
• 1:09:16
  Felipe right now batting 285.
• 1:09:21
  Now Felipe gets a big lead at first. White off second. Foul back off the screen.
• 1:09:27
  Ball and two strikes. On deck Jake Gibbs.
• 1:09:38
  Yankees have three runs on seven hits. Senators three runs on six hits. Yankees have made two errors and Washington one.
• 1:09:52
  Schellenbach gets the sign. The one two pitch change up outside and the count is evened at two and two.
• 1:10:17
  Schellenbach checks Roy White. His curve line drive just foul outside of third and Hanson split the bat on that one.
• 1:10:24
  The curve in on his hand. Count holds at two and two but Ronnie has to go back for a new bat.
• 1:10:36
  Hanson walking all the way back to the dugout.
• 1:10:40
  Now running back to the batter's box. Yankees three, Senators three, top of the fifth.
• 1:10:49
  Only one out. Yankees have run at that first and second.
• 1:11:00
  Schellenbach gets the sign from Fahey. Comes to the belt. Delivers he held up on a change up and Schellenbach said where was the pitch?
• 1:11:12
  On fire set inside and it's a full count three and two and I will watch for Alou and White. See if they'll be running on a three two count.
• 1:11:30
  Now both runners leading away. They're going and the ball is lined up. Base hit for left. White will score easily. Alou will go to third easily and the Yankees now lead four to three.
• 1:11:46
  Sid Hudson the pitching coach is coming out of the center of the dugout. Going a three two pitch and the runners going Hanson hit a bullet between third and short out the left field.
• 1:12:01
  Yes he wants the left hander Paul Lindblad to come in and pitch to Jake Gibbs. So that will be all for Jim Schellenbach.
• 1:12:16
  The error by the first baseman certainly did not help him here in the fifth inning. But the balls have been hit pretty well. He's walked a couple of men and two sharp singles by Alou and Hanson have put the Yankees out in front.
• 1:12:29
  So Jim Schellenbach in pitching four and one third innings has allowed four runs eight hits. Walked only let's see. Walked two men and he struck out three.
• 1:12:50
  So as Lindblad the left hander comes in let's take a look at some other scores for you quickly. Still nothing out of Sox Park in Chicago where the Brewers are visiting.
• 1:13:00
  This afternoon Oakland beat Kansas City eight to seven. The Oakland A's have now won one hundred and one ball games.
• 1:13:07
  The Baltimore Orioles if they can hold on to a one to nothing lead will win their one hundred and first I believe Bill King.
• 1:13:17
  So the two winners in the American League will not go into the American League Championship Series with identical records however because Baltimore has four games that were rained out that will not be made up.
• 1:13:32
  Oakland has I believe only one and that was against Baltimore.
• 1:13:38
  But nonetheless that should be a very very interesting series. The National League has not yet been determined. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in but who's it going to be the Dodgers or the Giants.
• 1:13:48
  We'll know probably after tonight. Minnesota blank California one to nothing. Minnesota got only three base hits of Clyde Wright of California but one was a home run by Rick Renick his first of the year and that was the only scoring in that ballgame.
• 1:14:05
  Bert Blylevin got the win. Cleveland leads Detroit two to nothing at the end of three innings as Mickey Lowlitz pitching for Detroit is trying to win number 26 is opposed by Vince Colbert.
• 1:14:21
  Mickey Lowlitz tonight has a chance to win the strikeout title in the American League as he invited a blue both had three hundred and one before Lowlitz started that ballgame tonight I got a bet that Lowlitz will get at least one.
• 1:14:37
  Baltimore one to nothing over Boston at the end of seven and a half playing over in Baltimore Mike Garmin a good looking youngster pitching that ballgame for Boston.
• 1:14:45
  Jackson Dukes and now what for Baltimore the only run so far Brooks Robinson's 20th home run in the National League the Cubs and Montreal scoreless at the end of one and a half and the games on the West Coast not yet underway.
• 1:14:57
  All right. Linblad is ready to pitch to Jake Gibbs and back to Phil Rizzuto.
• 1:15:01
  All right Frank and there's still only one out. Yankees have a little third and Hanson at first.
• 1:15:07
  They lead four to three stretch by Linblad pitch to Jake as a curve is swinging a missed strike one.
• 1:15:14
  Linblad has won seven lost for good earned run average two point eight eight.
• 1:15:19
  This is his 50th game.
• 1:15:26
  All right Linblad and it's up jam here the infields back and double play depth.
• 1:15:31
  It's the Jake occur bounce to first base throw to second for one back to first no double play and another run score.
• 1:15:39
  So that's a second run batted into the night for Jake Gibbs and both on ground balls that he bounced in a fourth place.
• 1:15:46
  Jake does have a single in between. He's one for three.
• 1:15:49
  That run is charged to shell and back for the Yankees are now out in front five to three and the batter Jean Michael a single left and fly to center.
• 1:16:00
  I thought that was going to come to the plate the ball was not hit hard enough actually to double a left hand batter.
• 1:16:15
  Stretch by Linblad pitches a little bit high ball one.
• 1:16:20
  So Felipe Lou is driven into runs and one and Jake Gibbs to the Yankees.
• 1:16:30
  Now there are two men out.
• 1:16:34
  Curve is in their good curve ball by Linblad one on one the count.
• 1:16:49
  Gibbs leads away another curve it is bad strike to one ball two strikes.
• 1:16:55
  Jean was trying to get his bat out of the way and it just ticked it.
• 1:17:04
  One ball two strikes two up.
• 1:17:15
  The left hander stretches fastball line to left center for a base hit.
• 1:17:20
  Gibbs is around second base he'll go to third answer Bob was the ball how it up with it goes underhand into the shortstop who cuts it off.
• 1:17:28
  And Jean Michael comes up with his second base hit for the Yankees.
• 1:17:33
  Their ninth base hit gives us a third Michael at first and now Mel Salomar Mel's been up twice struck out both times.
• 1:17:47
  The Yankees have their hitting shoes on here in the fifth inning.
• 1:17:54
  Well with a chance to pick up another run.
• 1:17:58
  Two out runners at first and third pitch by Linblad swing and a miss at a curve strike one.
• 1:18:18
  Michael leads off first Gibbs off third.
• 1:18:22
  Here bounce slowly to third base Harrah has to wait for it.
• 1:18:28
  Fires to first in time.
• 1:18:31
  They come up with four runs on three bases there was one error and two men left.
• 1:18:37
  And at the end of four and a half is the Yankees five the Senators three.

• 1:19:44
  Paul Linblad had a brief tenure in this ballgame two thirds of an inning because Bernie Allen now will come out and pinch hit for him to lead off the bottom half of the fifth inning against Mel Stuttenmeyer and now with a five to three lead.
• 1:19:57
  This stage of the ballgame still can be pretty tough.
• 1:20:00
  It could be and of course this Bernie Allen.
• 1:20:03
  Then exceptionally well against the Yankees when he's playing and when he's pinch hitting.
• 1:20:11
  Well it took a little time to get a pebble out of his shoe.
• 1:20:14
  Still warming up with Jake.
• 1:20:19
  They still Mel Stuttenmeyer and Jake Gibbs have developed a very close friendship over the years.
• 1:20:24
  Their careers are paralleled greatly.
• 1:20:26
  They were together two years I believe in Richmond came up to the Yankees have been together here and have become close personal friends a friendship that I'm sure will hold even though Jake goes down to Mississippi gives up professional baseball and
• 1:20:39
  Mel Stuttenmeyer of course will stay around and continue to be one of the better right handers in the American League.
• 1:20:44
  No doubt about that.
• 1:20:45
  I'm sure Mel will get down and visit Jake probably on his way to Florida for next spring.
• 1:20:51
  The first pitch to Bernie Allen is low.
• 1:20:54
  The Yankees banded around last inning and our Bernie Allen batting for Linblad takes another curve inside ball two to an up.
• 1:21:09
  It'll be Allen on Sir and Howard Bernie Allen sitting to 68 he's always tough against the Yankees.
• 1:21:14
  And as a curve over strike one two and one.
• 1:21:18
  And he is outstanding football player in his college days quarterback he fouls one back upstairs and out of play.
• 1:21:28
  Even the counter to and to regular second baseman for the Minnesota Twins.
• 1:21:38
  Before coming to Washington.
• 1:21:44
  Two balls two strikes.
• 1:21:48
  Pitch by Stuttenmeyer low and inside ball three and it's a full count three and two.
• 1:22:00
  And not have an easy game with these senators.
• 1:22:05
  The pay off pitch.
• 1:22:07
  Swing and a miss and he went after a bad pitch.
• 1:22:10
  And knew it after he swung he really reached for a sinker down and away way out of the strike zone.
• 1:22:15
  Third strike out for Stuttenmeyer.
• 1:22:20
  And now Dell answer pop the third and line to second base.
• 1:22:28
  Hanson moves way in at third.
• 1:22:30
  Felipe shortens up at first base.
• 1:22:33
  Even Michael and Clark shorten up a couple of steps with the left hand hitting on two is very fast.
• 1:22:38
  Stuttenmeyer pitches over the corner strike one call.
• 1:22:52
  The one strike delivery foul back and out of play in the seats down and back of third base.
• 1:23:03
  Nothing into the count.
• 1:23:13
  One out nobody on Yankees five senators three bottom of the fifth.
• 1:23:19
  Curve lined up base hitter right field on to out in front of that curve ball.
• 1:23:23
  Torrey's up with it.
• 1:23:27
  And so the senators come up with their seventh base hit off Stuttenmeyer brings up Toby Harrow who has two of those seven hits.
• 1:23:34
  Single right in the first stole the base and scored on Howard single beat out a bunt went to second on Stuttenmeyer's bad throw Mel was charged with an error.
• 1:23:43
  Scored on a single by Bittner in the third and he's two for two.
• 1:23:55
  Hunter leads off first.
• 1:23:58
  Stuttenmeyer's pitch swing and a miss and he was trying to go to right field.
• 1:24:12
  Well slowing the pace down just a bit.
• 1:24:15
  A little holes first against Hunter.
• 1:24:25
  Already he throw to first answer is back.
• 1:24:38
  Bounced up the middle and Clark has a throw but not in time.
• 1:24:47
  He said very late and Toby Harrow is now three for three and a high bouncing ball over Stuttenmeyer's head.
• 1:24:54
  That clock came up with going to his right.
• 1:24:56
  He made a good throw to Michael but Hunter split and he slid very late.
• 1:25:00
  Almost hurt his leg almost jumped in a second base.
• 1:25:07
  Back now for the Senators and here is Larry Bitten flying the left single at center.
• 1:25:11
  He scored a run and driven in a run.
• 1:25:20
  Yankees out in front five to three but these Senators have been tough on the Yankees all year.
• 1:25:26
  Bittner a left hand batter.
• 1:25:30
  Mel's pitch swing and a miss strike one.
• 1:25:34
  He was trying to jerk one over that fence in right field.
• 1:25:37
  On deck big Frank Howard.
• 1:25:49
  Run his lead off first and second.
• 1:25:53
  Mel takes a long look in for the sign.
• 1:25:55
  Now he's got it.
• 1:25:57
  Check sensor delivers ground ball up the middle clock to his right backhand to go to Michael one back to first double play and a beautiful double play for the Yankees.
• 1:26:07
  Iris Clark turned in two sparkling defensive plays there and on that one he got the double play four six three.
• 1:26:15
  No runs two hits no errors and a man left and at the end of five full innings it's the Yankees five the Senators three.
• 1:26:24
  Did you know your car breathes well it does and there's a new gasoline at your Arco station that helps your car breathe easy.
• 1:26:31
  It's called Arco Supreme by helping your car breathe easy it helps solve a problem that's caused by a lot of other gasoline.
• 1:26:39
  Arco Supreme keeps deposits from building up in your engines breathing tubes.
• 1:26:43
  That's the carburetor the intake manifold and the intake valve and that's important because on valves machine to millimeters.
• 1:26:51
  It doesn't take much deposit to interfere with your car's breathing even a little deposit can keep valves from closing properly and cause you power loss and gas waste.
• 1:27:01
  A lot of deposits can mean expensive repairs like a one hundred and twenty five dollar valve job by keeping the breathing tubes of your car open.
• 1:27:09
  Arco Supreme keeps your car breathing easy and the easier your car breathes the more power it has and the less gas it uses.
• 1:27:17
  Arco Supreme is at your Arco station now it's a good thing to know about because knowing your car breathes easy should make you breathe easy too.
• 1:27:26
  Denny Rittleberger another left hander comes on to pitch for the Washington Senators.
• 1:27:34
  So Paul Lindblad pitched to three batters gave up one base hit no runs and now Rittleberger.
• 1:27:44
  And many more left handers as Ted Williams got out there that bullpen.
• 1:27:48
  Rittleberger's won three and lost one shows an earned run average of three eighteen he's had one save working out of the bullpen and this is his fifty seventh appearance of the season.
• 1:27:59
  So Horace Clark rusty Tories and Bobby Mercer will be up here in the sixth inning and Mercer will have to look again at a left hand pitcher.
• 1:28:08
  Right on a park who led off the top of the fifth inning actually Horace has led off four times now in the ballgame in the first inning in the third inning and in the fifth inning and again here in the sixth inning.
• 1:28:22
  Horace is one for three struck out single center and bounce the third.
• 1:28:30
  And he's out in front five three in the top of the sixth.
• 1:28:40
  Rittleberger kicks delivers high and tight ball one comes a little bit side on this left hander.
• 1:28:49
  And glad was straight over the top.
• 1:28:56
  Curve hit on the ground pass third base and let's say Clark will go for two I'm sure.
• 1:29:01
  Yep he's around first digging for second how it's thrown not nearly in time and Horace Clark is in there with a stand up double.
• 1:29:12
  Big hundo and left hander.
• 1:29:14
  He tries to run very hard he gives a hundred and ten percent but he just does not move too quick.
• 1:29:22
  That's the Yankees tenth base hit on the ball game in their first extra base hit and for Horace Clark is twenty second to bagger.
• 1:29:29
  All right and his rusty Torres bounce the short single left reached on an error.
• 1:29:34
  How was the error that started the Yankees beginning.
• 1:29:38
  It's too rusty hit to the right side and rusty gave himself up and Ragland froze to first they get Torrey's Torrey's went with that pitch to advance clock to third base.
• 1:29:48
  And I'm sure Ralph Hawkins pleased with that Frank.
• 1:29:51
  Yes he is that goes down and Ralph's metal bus of buses for rusty Torres and you'd have to think Bill that Torres would have an excellent chance of making this ballclub next year.
• 1:30:01
  Well I would say so.
• 1:30:02
  All right Bobby Mercer Bobby's open to thrown out on a very close play when he bounced the short in the first inning lined up first in the third and walked and scored in the fifth.
• 1:30:16
  Bobby's chances of leading the American League in batting slowly glimmering away dimming away the pitch to Bobby is a curve outside ball one the infield is in for the senators trying to cut off a run at the plate Yankees lead five three Bobby has ninety two runs batted in and he has scored ninety three runs this year.
• 1:30:43
  Well because an RBI here you're leaving it up ninety three a piece.
• 1:30:55
  Park leads off there little bit pitch low and outside ball to do nothing.
• 1:31:14
  One out clock and third left hander winds curve hit deep to right but foul Bobby way out in front of.
• 1:31:23
  All the things said about Bobby Mercer is certainly one of the big things Bill over the last two years Bobby struck out two hundred and three times this year he has struck out with fifty nine and that is certainly a mark of improvement.
• 1:31:36
  That's a big plus.
• 1:31:39
  To have that real outstanding year when you're striking out so often some players are able to do it.
• 1:31:54
  Well who struck out a lot but had such a fantastic record the late great Babe Ruth.
• 1:32:09
  Three and one on Mercer Bobby will be hitting away if it's near the plate.
• 1:32:13
  He takes it low ball for so Mercer walks for the second time.
• 1:32:19
  The Yankee baseball network we pause for station identification.
• 1:32:27
  This is W.G.Y. radio 81 Schenectady New York.
• 1:32:38
  I'd run right now with runners at first and third and Roy who broke the American League record last night for sacrifice flies getting his 17th has a chance for another one here the pitch but he hits the ground at a second Raglan flips to the shortstop one back to first.
• 1:32:52
  Dave had first and the Yankees get another run that time Ragman could have stepped on second base and thrown a first he elected to go to the shortstop where I had come quite a ways playing white in the hole.
• 1:33:08
  He decided for a run batted in Clark scored and the Yankees now lead six to three.
• 1:33:19
  The way a loop single twice and bounce the short. Well he pays driven into tonight. Well why did first Mr. Felipe foul over toward the center to dug out and in the dugout strike one.
• 1:33:40
  Ronnie Hanson on deck.
• 1:33:48
  He's got his eyes on tape one on one.
• 1:33:56
  That Baltimore they shut out the Red Sox one and up.
• 1:34:08
  Pitch to Felipe swing and a miss on a weird looking pitch that time.
• 1:34:18
  They way out in front of all in two strikes.
• 1:34:30
  And it sets curve just inside two and two.
• 1:34:44
  Two balls two strikes two out.
• 1:34:50
  He's going good job the pitchers filed at the plate though Felipe had to protect the plate with two strikes on him.
• 1:35:00
  So white has to come back.
• 1:35:06
  Frank that Alex Johnson won a big case against the California Angels going to get all that back pay less the fines he has to pay.
• 1:35:16
  You know what I you know what was funny to me.
• 1:35:20
  The way it is the pitch to Felipe line drive one hopper to the shortstop he flips to the second base. Have to talk about a little later on when we come back.
• 1:35:28
  But the Yankees pick up another big run on just one base it nowhere is in a man left.
• 1:35:34
  And the score now at the end of five and a half Yankee six senators three.
• 1:35:50
  One day in 1840 a three master schooner sailed into New York.
• 1:35:56
  On board was a young man from what's large Germany.
• 1:36:01
  He set sail with just a dollar in his pocket and an old family recipe for a new kind of beer.
• 1:36:07
  His name was Maximilian Schaefer and the beer he introduced to America was Schaefer lager beer.
• 1:36:13
  It was aged or lager for many weeks to give it a unique lightness and quality.
• 1:36:20
  Today Schaefer is still unique with flavor that never fades first frosty glass to last.
• 1:36:27
  The one beer to have when you're having more than one.
• 1:36:41
  Well Alex Johnson in addition to getting his money Bill says he wants to play baseball again.
• 1:36:45
  I was happy to hear that Frank.
• 1:36:47
  But what I was saying that in the article when Alex Johnson said that he was ready to play again.
• 1:36:54
  He said he had gone to the psychiatrist and he also said I could teach those psychiatrists a thing or two.
• 1:37:00
  They try to read my mind and nobody can read my mind.
• 1:37:03
  I know what I want to do and I do it.
• 1:37:05
  But he said that before after they made their decision.
• 1:37:08
  After they made the decision.
• 1:37:12
  That's what leads me to believe he knows what he wants to do and does it.
• 1:37:15
  His big Frank Howard he's single twice and driven in two runs takes a pitch outside ball one.
• 1:37:22
  We all know that Alex Johnson has a talent.
• 1:37:24
  He certainly has a talent for baseball and I hope that he puts it all to use and plays for a ball.
• 1:37:29
  I would like to see that there's a ground ball down the first base line.
• 1:37:32
  Lotta English Felipe picks it up and steps on first for the out.
• 1:37:39
  It was strange that lefty Phillips said he only gave 65 percent the year he won the batting crowd.
• 1:37:46
  If he only gave 65 percent led the American League in batting imagine if he did give out 100 percent.
• 1:37:56
  I Jeff Burrows has struck out and fly it into a double play.
• 1:38:03
  Donald Myers curve a little low ball one Yankees six senators three bottom of the six curve outside ball two to nothing.
• 1:38:30
  The two delivery inside ball three three nothing.
• 1:38:44
  The three delivery is right in there Mel Lated right in there three and one.
• 1:38:59
  Strike two call so Burrows was taking all the way.
• 1:39:09
  Full count one out nobody on.
• 1:39:17
  Saddle my with the payoff pitch high fly right field rusty Torrey moving in under and rusty makes the catch.
• 1:39:30
  There are two men out.
• 1:39:31
  Saddle my has not walked a man and that time he was behind three and oh and still came in with three strikes.
• 1:39:37
  Michael making a fine play to throw him out and then bounce the second.
• 1:39:51
  Two men out Mel pitches on the inside corner strike one call.
• 1:40:03
  One strike delivery just outside one of my.
• 1:40:11
  They have done in four thousand and three four oh oh three.
• 1:40:18
  One one pitch slow curve is high to a month.
• 1:40:26
  Well that Hurricane Ginger has finally made up a mind and is bearing down now on the North Carolina coast and Cape Hatteras.
• 1:40:35
  They're going to have torrential rains tomorrow.
• 1:40:38
  There's a strike on the inside corner two and two.
• 1:40:42
  And it will affect the nation's capital on Friday and probably move up to Jersey for a little more rain.
• 1:40:48
  They are waterlogged already up there.
• 1:40:50
  The two to pitch it in the air to right field rusty Torrey digs in he's there now makes the catch up.
• 1:40:57
  Kid gets a quick jump on fly ball three up three down and at the end of six full innings it's Yankees six the senators three and now Frank with some scores.
• 1:41:08
  All right Bill Milwaukee at Chicago just underway the Brewers failed to score in the top half of the first Jimmy Slayton is pitching for Milwaukee and Wilbur Wood going for Chicago.
• 1:41:17
  Oakland defeated Kansas City this afternoon eight to seven.
• 1:41:20
  Bob Locker got the win seven and two and Ted Abernathy the loser four and six Kansas City had three home runs a pair by Bob Oliver his seventh and eighth and Paul Shaw number 11.
• 1:41:30
  Baltimore shutout Boston one to nothing on a five hitter by Jackson Dukes and what with Grant Jackson the starter getting the win.
• 1:41:38
  Mike Garman was the loser for Boston and he pitched a five hitter.
• 1:41:42
  Minnesota shutout California one to nothing Burt Blylevin getting his 16th win and Rick Lenick providing the game's only run with his first homer of the year.
• 1:41:50
  Cleveland leads Detroit two to one at the end of four lowly to get Colbert in the National League Montreal three in Chicago two at the end of three innings Billy Williams has homered for the Cubs his 27th.
• 1:42:00
  Milk Pappa supposing Steve Ranko Houston at Los Angeles and San Francisco at San Diego will be later starts.
• 1:42:08
  So that's a rundown another scores right here the Yankees have six runs 10 hits with two hours and Washington three runs eight hits and one error.
• 1:42:18
  And ready to step in right now with the play by play through the last three innings of this ballgame ladies and gentlemen here is Bill White.
• 1:42:26
  Hi Frank Ronnie had some lead off with the Yankees Ronnie's one for three.
• 1:42:31
  With an RBI he's popped a second line the shortstop and single left driving in a run in the fifth inning.
• 1:42:42
  Curveball driven foul that feel way back there.
• 1:42:47
  The mezzanine bounces out.
• 1:42:51
  Riddle burger ahead now no balls in a strike.
• 1:42:54
  Yankees lead six three we're in the seventh.
• 1:42:59
  On deck Jake Gibbs little burger looks in and just catch your face pumps and deals curveball Hanson lines at the right center field after it is the right fielder Burrows he catches up with it.
• 1:43:14
  One away.
• 1:43:18
  Hanson hit the ball hard. I can't get the ball hard as last three times up he's lying to the shortstop single left and he hit that ball hard in the right center field but Burrows caught up with it.
• 1:43:30
  One out here's Gibbs.
• 1:43:33
  Jake's only one for three but he's driven into runs.
• 1:43:40
  Big batting left handed against left hander left hander riddle burger then he's ready.
• 1:43:48
  That's Paul's high on deck Gene Michael.
• 1:43:56
  A play Gibbs to pull one old pitch curveball swung on and missed all the other strike zone.
• 1:44:04
  Burrows hugging the line in right field Hunter straight away in center.
• 1:44:11
  So is Howard and left.
• 1:44:13
  Here's the one one pitch to give sidearm fastballs line the left field Frank Howard's after it he has a room now backs up a bit and grabs it for the second out.
• 1:44:22
  Gibbs lines the Howard and left field and that'll bring in the stick gene Mike. He's two for three to single both the left field.
• 1:44:34
  He'll bat right handed against the riddle burger.
• 1:44:38
  For a while as though the senator Jinx would continue the Yankees picked up four runs in the fifth.
• 1:44:45
  Michael takes a ball inside take a five to three lead they added one more last inning and they lead six three here top of the seventh.
• 1:44:56
  One old pitch to Michael change up gets the inside corner call strike one and one else.
• 1:45:01
  Al Stollmeyer kneeling on the on deck circle. I'll show shortens up just a bit for Michael gene chokes on the bat one one pitch to him curveball pop the first base right there is Bittner.
• 1:45:15
  Let's see and foul territory. He grabs it.
• 1:45:18
  We had to wait for Jim Odom.
• 1:45:21
  So Michael fouls out to the first baseman Larry Bittner and that's it for the Yankees here in the seventh three men up and three men down at the end of six and a half innings of play.
• 1:45:30
  The Yankees six the Washington Redskins.
• 1:45:33
  So why do I call them Washington Redskins Washington Senators three.
• 1:45:38

• 1:46:41
  All right let's see here.
• 1:46:43
  Last of the seven Washington Nelson then Jim Mason the shortstop Tom Ragland the second baseman and probably a pinch hitter for Denny Rittleberger.
• 1:46:58
  Stottle Myer looking for victory number 16 Mason's one for two single and he struck out that's left handed lines a base hit the right field fast Clark.
• 1:47:07
  Torres boxes and Mason holds the first base the kids now two for three.
• 1:47:14
  Cut on Stottle Myer's first pitch and aligned it in the hole between a Lou and Clark.
• 1:47:20
  Face it number nine for Washington and Tom Ragland steps in he's over to he's bounced to the first baseman he's bounced the third ragland that's right handed.
• 1:47:30
  Everybody down here talking so much about the Washington Redskins I say Redskins all the time and this town is alive with Redskin Tom.
• 1:47:40
  Stottle Myer comes to the belt he checks Mason deals bounce the shortstop should be to Michael in over the clock for one back to first off the bag but alone picks it up and stays on the bag and a double play 64 to 32 outs now here in the seven.
• 1:47:55
  And Don Mincher has been announced as a battler for Rittleberger.
• 1:48:05
  Stottle Myer out of trouble as he gets ragland to bounce into two and we're looking now at Don Mincher a big left handed hitting first baseman of course remember I think that last time he pinched it against the Yankees with the bases loaded in the Yankee Stadium.
• 1:48:20
  Grand Slam Yes sir.
• 1:48:25
  A chance at a Grand Slam right here though.

• 1:50:13
  So like Casey Cox is going to be the new pitcher for Washington.
• 1:50:19
  He will be the fourth pitcher on the mound for the Senator selling back started.
• 1:50:24
  Lynn glad I came on Danny Rittle burger and Fox and glad and Rittle burger to left handers they got Mercer.
• 1:50:31
  They came on and face Bobby Mercer. Now Bobby will be the fourth hitter in this inning.
• 1:50:36
  And tomorrow we'll lead it off the eighth and Clark Taurus and then Mercer so Mercer will get to see a left hander for the first time a right hander you'll get to see a right hander for the first time tonight.
• 1:50:49
  Bobby let's see so far is over to these bounces short line to the first base and he's walked twice.
• 1:50:56
  He needs a base hit. Yes he does. This would be kind of a night if Bobby had had a hot night coming up five times possibly six in the ballgame.
• 1:51:06
  But as we said coming into the series he had to get seven for twelve to beat out Oliva.
• 1:51:12
  Well he needs a hit here at least to be what two for six and then he'll have to depend on jumping on somebody tomorrow for four or five.
• 1:51:19
  And there's a possibility that if the right hander would pitch out how they're just might lead off with him off. Yes they've done it with Willie Mays.
• 1:51:26
  They've done it with other ballplayers who had a shot.
• 1:51:33
  And Dick Boseman is scheduled to pitch he's a right hander. He's pretty tough though.
• 1:51:38
  Right now though it's Mel Sotomayor leading off for the Yankees as we go into the eighth Mel and the Yankees have a 6-3 lead.
• 1:51:48
  You see Bill for some reason Harry Walker did not pitch that kid against the Dodgers last night.
• 1:51:54
  He went with Wilson. Wilson right. Just a three hitter. Strong game.
• 1:51:59
  Pitch to Sotomayor is a called strike. Mel has been up three times. He's struck out twice. He's bounced a third.
• 1:52:06
  Cox a new pitcher is making his 54th appearance on the mound for Washington.
• 1:52:11
  Curve balls cut on a miss no balls and two strikes. Casey a big tall right hander.
• 1:52:17
  He's won five games and lost seven. He has seven saves.
• 1:52:23
  Down low a ball and two strikes on Sotomayor on deck Horace Clark.
• 1:52:34
  Cox does not like the sign. Now he's ready. Over the head pumps deals. Outside two and two. Two balls and two strikes.
• 1:52:46
  A few shortens up for Mel. Here's a two-two pitch. Last ball foul straight back out of play. Still two and two.
• 1:52:57
  Sotomayor has 11 runs batted in with one home run. See that's seven for his career right. Seven career home runs.
• 1:53:07
  Fine athlete. Here's a two-two pitch to Mel. Curve ball cut on and miss. Struck him out. One away in the eighth.
• 1:53:16
  Cox picks up his first strikeout. The first man he's faced. Here's Horace Clark. Clark's two for four with a run score.
• 1:53:23
  He's struck out single to center bounce a third and doubled to left field. He scored that run in the sixth.
• 1:53:32
  Front is the first and third. White had a chance to pick up his 18th sacrifice fly of the year. He bounced into a four-stop.
• 1:53:40
  Got the run in. And Roy picked up his 84th RBI of the year. Hart-Fats left-handed now.
• 1:53:48
  Takes a fastball on the inside corner. Call strike. Here's where the third baseman shortens up.
• 1:53:55
  Now Unser the center fielder moves toward left center. Howard straight away and left.
• 1:54:00
  Oh one pitch. Line. Basehead. Right center field. Just over Ragland's head.
• 1:54:06
  Halt around first. He's going to try for two. The throw. The slide. He's out.
• 1:54:11
  That burrow is showing a fine army. He threw that ball right on the bag and the shortstop.
• 1:54:18
  Mason put it on a sliding Horace Clark. That from nine to six.
• 1:54:25
  Give Clark a single to right field. He's thrown out nine to six. They're two outs now.
• 1:54:30
  Right hander Rusty Torres.
• 1:54:37
  Halt is let's see three for five though. That'll bring in Rusty Torres.
• 1:54:42
  Torres for the first time tonight will bat left-handed against Cox.
• 1:54:48
  Rusty's one for four. See what he does here against Casey Cox. Outfield plays him straight away.
• 1:54:55
  Inside a ball. They're going to try to keep the ball in on him.
• 1:54:59
  Rusty's bounce the shorty. Single to left. Got on on an error and scored overrun in the fifth.
• 1:55:04
  And he's bounced the second.
• 1:55:08
  One-oh pitch. Slow curve misses outside. Two balls and no strikes. Two outs. Nobody on.
• 1:55:14
  We're in the eighth. The Yankees lead six-three.
• 1:55:19
  Yankees with six runs on 11 hits. Washington three-oh-one-nine.
• 1:55:23
  This is bounce the short on one hop. The Mason throws the first. They've got him.
• 1:55:31
  So with the Yankees in the eighth, no runs on one hit. No errors and nobody left on base.
• 1:55:37
  At the end of seven and a half, the New York Yankees six, the Washington Senators three.
• 1:55:45

  Center fielder, Della Unsure will lead off for Washington.
• 1:56:48
  And the last of the eighth, Unsure, is one for three. He's fouled out to Hanson at third.
• 1:56:53
  He's lined Clark at second. And he's single to right field. He bats left handed.
• 1:56:58
  Hanson shortens up on him at third. So does Alouette first.
• 1:57:01
  First pitch is bounced toward shortstop. Michael after hurrying on the grass, quick flip, got him by a step.
• 1:57:08
  I believe Michael. Michael can throw off balance as well as any shortstop in the American League.
• 1:57:14
  And make accurate throws.
• 1:57:18
  So Unsure, a fast runner is out by a step six to three.
• 1:57:22
  And Toby Harrell will step in.
• 1:57:24
  Harris three for three. This young fella has been swinging the bat extremely well for Washington over the last few days.
• 1:57:32
  In this ball game he's three for three. All singles.
• 1:57:35
  Scored two runs. And he's stolen the base. Stottlemeyer deals to him.
• 1:57:39
  Gets the outside corner with a sidearm fastball.
• 1:57:43
  Hanson even with the bag at third base. Upfield straight away. So is the infield.
• 1:57:49
  Mel looking at it gives. Humpson deals the O-1 pitch. Misses outside a slider. One and one.
• 1:57:56
  Larry Bittner on deck. Yankees lead six-three. We're in the last of the eight.
• 1:58:04
  There's a one-one pitch down here. Sidearm fastball swung on and missed.
• 1:58:09
  One and two. That ball's sunk.
• 1:58:15
  Now Hanson backs up at third.
• 1:58:21
  Harris stands away from the plate. He has to go in on the ball. Chokes up.
• 1:58:26
  One-two pitch. Sidearm fouled off.
• 1:58:29
  Sidearm curveball. Harrell just got a piece of it that was on the outside corner he had to reach for.
• 1:58:35
  Still a ball and two strikes.
• 1:58:51
  Mel takes a long look at Gibbs now. Over the head. Down.
• 1:58:55
  Sidearm slider. Rod bounced right back at Stottlemeyer. He gloves it.
• 1:58:58
  Goes to a Luit first base and they're two outs.
• 1:59:05
  Stottlemeyer has taken control of this ballgame after the third inning.
• 1:59:10
  Washington picked up two runs in the third to take a three-to-one lead.
• 1:59:14
  Yankees picked up four in the fifth and add another one in the sixth. They lead six-three.
• 1:59:18
  Stottlemeyer has blanked the Senators since the third inning.
• 1:59:22
  Here's Bittner. He bats left-handed. Takes on the outside corner. Called strike.
• 1:59:28
  Bittner is one for three with an RBI and he scored a run.
• 1:59:34
  Next pitch is down low. One and one. Two outs, nobody on. We're the last of the eight.
• 1:59:40
  Sellers fly to left field. Bittner has. He's single. He's also bounced into a double play.
• 1:59:45
  They play him straight away.
• 1:59:48
  One-one pitch. Bounced right back to Stottlemeyer. He knocks it down.
• 1:59:52
  Grabs it. Throws to Alou and that's it.
• 1:59:56
  For Larry Bittner and that's it for the Senators.
• 1:59:58
  In the eighth, three men up and three men down. They didn't get a ball out of the infield.
• 2:00:02
  And at the end of eighth, the New York Yankees sixth, the Washington Senators three.
• 2:00:08
  them band.
• 2:00:18
  The
• 2:00:33
  When they say Schaefer has flavor that never fades,
• 2:00:35
  have a couple of tall frosty cold glasses
• 2:00:38
  and see for yourself.
• 2:00:39
  You'll find that first cold Schaefer tastes great,
• 2:00:42
  but it's the second glass and the third
• 2:00:44
  that'll really make you a believer.
• 2:00:46
  They'll show you how Schaefer stays consistently bright
• 2:00:48
  and rewarding glass after glass.
• 2:00:50
  And that's when you'll want to switch to Schaefer.
• 2:00:55
  Schaefer is the one that'll help
• 2:00:58
  when you're having more than one.
• 2:01:01
  The one that'll make you a believer.
• 2:01:03
  The one that'll make you a believer.
• 2:01:08
  Center fielder Bobby Mercer.
• 2:01:17
  Bobby Mercer now will be the batter for the Yankees.
• 2:01:21
  Bobby, for the first time tonight,
• 2:01:23
  gets a chance to hit against a right-hander.
• 2:01:25
  Jim Schellenbach started.
• 2:01:28
  Paul Lindblad came on,
• 2:01:29
  and Denny Riedelberger, all left-handers.
• 2:01:31
  Now it's Casey Cox.
• 2:01:32
  Cox came on last, Denny.
• 2:01:36
  Mercer is 0 for 2.
• 2:01:39
  Spouts the short, a line to the first baseman,
• 2:01:41
  a walk twice.
• 2:01:43
  Pitch to him, outside of ball.
• 2:01:45
  Cox knows that Bobby's trying to get this batting title,
• 2:01:50
  and he isn't going to give him much of anything good to hit.
• 2:01:53
  One old pitch now.
• 2:01:55
  Line drive, base hits, center field.
• 2:01:57
  Mercer, 1 for 3, and he keeps his hopes alive.
• 2:02:00
  A 4 for 4 or a 5 for 5 tomorrow might do it.
• 2:02:03
  Bobby on at first base with his first base
• 2:02:05
  at the end of the afternoon, or the evening.
• 2:02:07
  And Bobby now at 3.31.
• 2:02:12
  That'll bring in Roy White.
• 2:02:15
  White's added a couple of put-outs tonight,
• 2:02:18
  so he now has 307 without an error.
• 2:02:23
  Roy batting left-handed against Cox.
• 2:02:25
  Roy 1 for 3 with a run score.
• 2:02:27
  Mercer leads.
• 2:02:28
  Ball's down low.
• 2:02:32
  Roy singled and scored a run in the second inning.
• 2:02:35
  He flied to center, walked, bounced into a foresot,
• 2:02:38
  but drove in a run in the sixth.
• 2:02:40
  Cox comes to the belt.
• 2:02:42
  Pitch to White.
• 2:02:43
  He's doing down the right field line.
• 2:02:45
  It's curving foul.
• 2:02:46
  Just missed.
• 2:02:48
  Mercer all the way over third.
• 2:02:50
  He'll have to go back.
• 2:02:51
  White all the way down the first baseline will come back.
• 2:02:54
  That ball hook at the last moment.
• 2:02:56
  Missed the foul line down right field by about two feet.
• 2:02:59
  Jim Odom and I'm far hustling all the way down there.
• 2:03:01
  Had a good look at it.
• 2:03:03
  Wave the ball foul.
• 2:03:07
  Mercer just getting back to first.
• 2:03:09
  Yankees lead 6-3.
• 2:03:10
  We're in the last, top of the ninth, last inning.
• 2:03:14
  White chokes up just a little bit on a U-1.
• 2:03:16
  That's a thick-handled bat.
• 2:03:18
  Cox checks it. Sets.
• 2:03:20
  Feels a 1-1 pitch.
• 2:03:21
  Bounces short.
• 2:03:22
  Over as Mason goes, a second for one throw back.
• 2:03:24
  The first won't be in time.
• 2:03:27
  Mason shows a lot of range for young fellow Phil Rosito.
• 2:03:30
  He sure does.
• 2:03:31
  He got over there in a hurry because he was playing Roy White over near the back.
• 2:03:35
  And that kid, Ragland, turned that ball over real well.
• 2:03:40
  So with one out, White at first.
• 2:03:41
  And Philippe Ballou steps in.
• 2:03:43
  Ballou is 2-4 with two runs batted in.
• 2:03:46
  Philippe Joldo's two runs back in the fifth with a single.
• 2:03:53
  Ballou batting right-handed against Cox.
• 2:03:55
  White leads from first.
• 2:03:56
  Pitch to Ballou.
• 2:03:57
  Almost hits him inside.
• 2:04:01
  So it looks like if Solomire gets the Senators out here in the ninth,
• 2:04:06
  Mercer will be 1-3.
• 2:04:09
  And he'll still be...
• 2:04:11
  Oh, five and some percentage points behind Tony Oliva.
• 2:04:15
  Cox stretches.
• 2:04:16
  Pitch to Allou.
• 2:04:18
  Loop the right field after it is Burroughs.
• 2:04:20
  He's not going to get it.
• 2:04:21
  White will stop at second base.
• 2:04:23
  And Philippe now picks up his third base hit.
• 2:04:26
  And this is the New York Yankee baseball network.
• 2:04:29
  Let's pause for station identification.
• 2:04:33
  This is WGY.
• 2:04:35
  The WGY is the first team to play in the New York Yankees.
• 2:04:38
  This is WGY.
• 2:04:41
  Radio 81, Schenectady, New York.
• 2:04:51
  So Philippe Allou with his third base hit.
• 2:04:53
  He's three for five tonight.
• 2:04:55
  And Ron Hanson steps in.
• 2:04:58
  Three for five with two RBIs.
• 2:05:00
  Hanson has a run batted in.
• 2:05:02
  He is one for four.
• 2:05:06
  Allou now hitting 286.
• 2:05:07
  So he's gained three points.
• 2:05:12
  Philippe also has 69 runs batted in.
• 2:05:17
  White leads from second.
• 2:05:18
  Allou from first.
• 2:05:19
  We're in the ninth.
• 2:05:20
  Yankees have the lead, 6-3.
• 2:05:22
  Cox comes to the belt.
• 2:05:24
  Sets, deals, and sides.
• 2:05:28
  Fastball.
• 2:05:33
  Bednar is at first for Washington.
• 2:05:35
  Bagland at second.
• 2:05:37
  Mason at short.
• 2:05:38
  Carra down at third.
• 2:05:40
  1-0 pitch to Hanson.
• 2:05:42
  Bounce is short.
• 2:05:43
  This might be two.
• 2:05:44
  Mason will take himself, touch a second for one.
• 2:05:46
  Back to first, double play.
• 2:05:47
  Hanson bounces into a double play.
• 2:05:50
  6-6 to three.
• 2:05:52
  That's it for the Yankees in the ninth inning.
• 2:05:54
  No runs.
• 2:05:55
  Two hits.
• 2:05:56
  No errors.
• 2:05:57
  The man left on base.
• 2:05:59
  At the end of eight and a half, the New York Yankees sixth.
• 2:06:03
  Washington Senators, three.
• 2:06:05
  One of the nice things about owning a car is that you can travel whenever you get the urge.
• 2:06:10
  To the beach, the mountains, or just to the store for the daily necessities.
• 2:06:15
  Wherever you drive, you'll be burning gasoline.
• 2:06:18
  And you may be burning more than you should.
• 2:06:20
  One reason is that your carburetor may not be clean enough.
• 2:06:24
  There may be deposits that can cause your car to waste gas and cost you mileage.
• 2:06:28
  If this seems to be happening to you, in other words,
• 2:06:31
  if you're not satisfied with the performance you're getting,
• 2:06:33
  then you should know about Arco Supreme gasoline.
• 2:06:36
  Arco Supreme helps keep deposits from clogging the air passages of your engine.
• 2:06:41
  Deposits that can cause your car to waste gasoline and cause you, of course, to lose mileage.
• 2:06:46
  So if you think you're not getting the mileage you should, try a tank full of Arco Supreme.
• 2:06:51
  You'll find Arco Supreme gasoline at any Arco station.
• 2:06:55
  Now you may not get that much more mileage on it, but sometimes a little more is enough.
• 2:07:05
  Well, hundo, Frank Howard will lead off for Washington in the last of the night.
• 2:07:13
  Howard is two for three with two runs batted in.
• 2:07:16
  Stained with a left and drove in a run in the first inning.
• 2:07:19
  And the same thing in the third.
• 2:07:21
  Bounced the first baseman in the sixth.
• 2:07:24
  And he gets quite a hand.
• 2:07:26
  He gets a standing ovation here.
• 2:07:28
  Howard, one of the few Washington players, quoted in the papers.
• 2:07:32
  And Frank has said that he would stay here.
• 2:07:35
  He wants to stay here. They should keep the team here.
• 2:07:38
  He came up with several suggestions as to what he would do if he had this ball club.
• 2:07:45
  First pitch to Howard's outside of ball.
• 2:07:48
  Now some fans are around here with a banner. What's that banner say?
• 2:07:51
  Oh, man's running around the banner that says San Diego Padres.
• 2:07:56
  So that's part of the cheering.
• 2:07:58
  Howard takes too low.
• 2:08:03
  He gets over on our left to try to tear the stadium down.
• 2:08:05
  He doesn't want anybody to come here.
• 2:08:09
  This is hit in the air in the center field.
• 2:08:11
  Mercer's after it. He calls white off.
• 2:08:13
  Underton has it for the first half.
• 2:08:15
  So Howard flies the Mercer in the center field for the first time tonight.
• 2:08:21
  And Jeff Borrows is the hitter.
• 2:08:23
  Young right fielder is 0 for 3.
• 2:08:25
  He's struck out, flies to left and flies to right field.
• 2:08:28
  That's right handed.
• 2:08:36
  And a fan standing up on the right side behind the center to dugout.
• 2:08:40
  San Diego Padres.
• 2:08:42
  Padres banner.
• 2:08:46
  Sotomayor misses outside to Borrows.
• 2:08:51
  Melnod's agreement like the sign.
• 2:08:53
  One old pitch.
• 2:08:54
  And on the ground a shortstop.
• 2:08:55
  Michael takes a long hop.
• 2:08:56
  He goes to a Lue at first and there are two outs.
• 2:09:04
  That's the 12th put out.
• 2:09:06
  For the 12th ball that's been hit on the ground against Sotomayor.
• 2:09:09
  He's got a little bit of a lead.
• 2:09:11
  He's got a little bit of a lead against Sotomayor.
• 2:09:13
  He's as I said he's controlled this ballgame since the fourth inning.
• 2:09:17
  He has blanked Washington.
• 2:09:19
  Ever since the third.
• 2:09:23
  And he has two outs.
• 2:09:25
  He's a man away.
• 2:09:26
  Phil Fay the catcher.
• 2:09:27
  0 for 3.
• 2:09:29
  He bats left handed.
• 2:09:31
  Lines one foul on the left side.
• 2:09:33
  That'll be out of play.
• 2:09:35
  Fay is bouncing short.
• 2:09:37
  Bounce a second.
• 2:09:38
  He flies to right field.
• 2:09:40
  Yankees lead 6 3.
• 2:09:44
  Washington has been tough on the Yankees all year.
• 2:09:46
  There's one.
• 2:09:48
  This ball's line fouled again on the right side.
• 2:09:59
  Senators have beaten the Yankees.
• 2:10:02
  11 of 16 ballgames.
• 2:10:04
  Here's the 0-2 pitch now.
• 2:10:06
  High.
• 2:10:07
  1 and 2.
• 2:10:08
  Too high.
• 2:10:09
  Sotomayor's looking for his 23rd victory.
• 2:10:12
  A lifetime against Washington.
• 2:10:14
  And his 128th career win overall.
• 2:10:17
  That was 1-1-27 in the last 98.
• 2:10:19
  One pitch away now.
• 2:10:20
  The 1-2 pitch to Fay.
• 2:10:22
  Bounce right back to Sotomayor.
• 2:10:23
  This should be it.
• 2:10:24
  Now it goes to Alou and that's it.
• 2:10:26
  On a comebacker.
• 2:10:28
  No runs.
• 2:10:30
  No hits.
• 2:10:34
  No errors and no men left on base in the night for Washington.
• 2:10:36
  The New York Yankees win this ballgame.
• 2:10:38
  6-3.
• 2:10:40
  And they did it.
• 2:10:42
  On six runs on 13 hits and two errors.
• 2:10:44
  Washington three runs on nine hits and one error.
• 2:10:46
  The winner is Sotomayor here in the background.
• 2:10:48
  Saw Mel was 116 games in the last 12.
• 2:10:50
  The loser is the Yankees.
• 2:10:52
  The Yankees are the Yankees.
• 2:10:54
  The Yankees are the Yankees.
• 2:10:56
  The Yankees are the Yankees.
• 2:10:58
  The Yankees are the Yankees.
• 2:11:00
  The Yankees won three games in the last 12.
• 2:11:02
  The loser, the left-hander, Frank Schellenbach.
• 2:11:04
  Who is now three and 11.
• 2:11:06
  So the Yankees break that Schellenbach, Jinkx.
• 2:11:08
  And let's see.
• 2:11:10
  They go now three and three against the left-hander.
• 2:11:12
  The backers won three ballgames all against the Yankees.
• 2:11:14
  Oh, he may be in trouble next year.
• 2:11:16
  He can't beat the Yankees.
• 2:11:18
  He ends up three and three.
• 2:11:20
  If Mel Sotomayor wins in 16.
• 2:11:22
  So the Yankees win this ballgame down in
• 2:11:24
  Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.
• 2:11:26
  DC. I'm Bill White along with Frank Messer and Phil Rizzuto for our broadcast coordinator
• 2:11:34
