• 0:08
  the Philadelphia Phillies went to Dodger Stadium
• 0:10
  to face the Los Angeles Dodgers for a Sunday
• 0:12
  afternoon game. The Phillies were a below 500
• 0:15
  team and were managed by George Myatt, who had
• 0:17
  taken over as interim manager after the firing
• 0:19
  of Bob Skinner. The Dodgers were led by veteran
• 0:21
  manager Walt Alston in his 16th season. The starting
• 0:25
  pitchers for this game involved 11 -game winner
• 0:27
  Rick Wise for the Phillies against Bill Singer,
• 0:29
  who entered the game with a 16 -8 record for
• 0:31
  the Dodgers. This audio recording is from the
• 0:33
  Los Angeles Radio Broadcast featuring announcers
• 0:35
  Vince Scully and Jerry Doggett. the Dodgers and
• 0:49
  the Phillies from beautiful Dodger Stadium. And
• 0:51
  now for the play -by -play, here's Vince Dilling.
• 0:53
  Thank you, Jerry. Hi, everybody. And a very pleasant
• 0:56
  Sunday to you, wherever you may be. It has come
• 0:58
  up bright and shiny at Dodger Stadium in the
• 1:00
  third and final game between the Dodgers and
• 1:03
  the Phillies with Terry Harmon to start it off
• 1:05
  at shortstop and leading it off, then Johnny
• 1:07
  Briggs and Richie Allen. Bill Singer looks in
• 1:11
  to get his first iron. Bill Sudeikis returning
• 1:13
  to the starting lineup today at third base. And
• 1:16
  the first pitch to Harmon, a ground ball to Wills.
• 1:18
  Morey is up with it. Clips the first in time
• 1:20
  for the hour. One pitch and one away. For the
• 1:24
  first time in a couple of days, that ground ball
• 1:28
  in the shortstop area took true house. The Dodgers
• 1:31
  have changed the infield a little bit. It had
• 1:33
  gotten just too hard, and the baseballs were
• 1:36
  taking erratic house. So they have softened it
• 1:38
  just a little. And that ball rolls straight and
• 1:41
  true to Wills. Here's Johnny Briggs. Singer into
• 1:44
  the windup, delivers, and the pitch high and
• 1:46
  away. Ball one. To the groundkeeper's credit,
• 1:48
  of course, they follow orders. They had it hardened,
• 1:51
  and then were told to loosen it just a dab. Here's
• 1:56
  the 1 -0 pitch to Johnny Briggs, left -hand batter.
• 1:58
  He takes the strike, and they count one and one.
• 2:06
  Bill Singer trying to win his 17th. Into the
• 2:09
  windup and a 1 -1 pitch on the way, a fastball
• 2:12
  outside, ball two, 2 -1. You don't think about
• 2:15
  it. Naturally, you come to the ballpark and see
• 2:17
  a game. But among other things, Bill Singer's
• 2:20
  right foot is heavily padded. It really fills
• 2:24
  up that shoe. Here's a 2 -1 pitch. Pops in the
• 2:27
  air, around the mound. Singer turns to direct
• 2:29
  traffic. Wills comes over near Sudeikis, but
• 2:32
  Sudeikis walks in front of Wills and makes the
• 2:34
  catch. So Briggs, a pop fly, two out, and the
• 2:40
  batter will be Richie Allen. Richie Allen, who
• 2:52
  wakes him up around the league when he comes
• 2:54
  up to the plate. Last night, Allen struck out
• 2:57
  four times, and the crowd really ate him up.
• 2:59
  Let's see how he goes today against Singer. Bill's
• 3:02
  first pitch, big curve. Swung on and missed,
• 3:05
  1 -1. Allen with 29 home runs, 66 RBIs. In 88
• 3:11
  games, he has struck out 110 times. Now the strike
• 3:15
  one pitch, the same breaking ball in there, strike
• 3:18
  two. Andy Olsen, the plate umpire, with Barlick,
• 3:22
  Vargo, and Kibler out on the line. 0 -2 to Richie
• 3:27
  Allen. Singer ready in the strike two pitch,
• 3:31
  way outside, ball one. When Bill Singer pushes
• 3:35
  off the rubber, he has a tendency to pinch his
• 3:37
  right toe. Sandy Koufax had that problem. Jim
• 3:41
  Bunning does. And unless that toe and foot is
• 3:43
  heavily padded, he can really hurt himself. The
• 3:46
  one -two breaking ball got him swinging. So Allen
• 3:49
  has struck out five consecutive times. Four last
• 3:54
  night and now today. Phillies are gone in order
• 3:56
  at the end of the half of the inning. The Phillies
• 3:58
  nothing and the Dodgers coming up. You know,
• 4:14
  it wasn't long ago when the Dodgers were known
• 4:16
  as the Bums and they went to some ridiculous
• 4:17
  extremes to earn that nickname. A Dodger outfielder
• 4:20
  was once hit on the head by a fly ball, they
• 4:22
  tell us, and oh, the shame when three Dodger
• 4:25
  runners ended up on third base at the same time.
• 4:27
  Yes, fans still remember that famous Dodger who
• 4:30
  obliged the crowd by tipping his hat and a bird
• 4:33
  flew out of it. Who was that? Sure, Casey Stengel.
• 4:36
  But today there's a new theme and there's a new
• 4:38
  way to enjoy Dodger excitement. Fans are discovering
• 4:41
  that a good time is more thrilling with the chilling
• 4:43
  refreshment of Schlitz Malt Liquor. You just
• 4:46
  can't outscore the bolder, brawnier performance
• 4:48
  of the drink inspired by a bowl. Schlitz Malt
• 4:52
  Liquor. Age longer with more hops and more. So
• 4:56
  anytime the action picks up, be sure to pick
• 4:59
  up a can of Schlitz Malt Liquor. There isn't
• 5:02
  a better way to beat a thirst. And believe us,
• 5:06
  the word is out. Nobody makes malt liquor like
• 5:09
  Schlitz. Nobody. Bottom of the first. The Phillies
• 5:19
  out on order. The Dodgers with Wills, Moda, and
• 5:21
  Davis against right -hander Rick Wise. Wise,
• 5:26
  11 -10 with the lead. Rick is 0 -1 with the Dodgers.
• 5:32
  The Dodgers piled up a lot of runs to beat the
• 5:36
  Phillies that day. He himself... Allowed only
• 5:39
  one earned run, but the Dodgers won the game
• 5:41
  12 -4. So at first glance, you'd think they really
• 5:45
  ripped him, but an error hurt him badly. So Rick
• 5:48
  Wise, 5 -3 lifetime, ready to pitch to Maury
• 5:51
  Wills. First one is low and inside, ball one.
• 5:56
  We'll be playing scoreboard all day today, the
• 5:59
  Giants and the Mets in a doubleheader. Cincinnati,
• 6:04
  as usual, out in front and trying to hang on.
• 6:07
  Boy, that ball club is really wearing out the
• 6:08
  people at Crosley Field. Will fouls it away,
• 6:12
  one and one. The Reds invariably pile up a big
• 6:16
  lead. And just as invariably, the starting pitcher
• 6:21
  is gone. They go to the bullpen, and it's a question
• 6:23
  of, can they make it? Well, it's the same story
• 6:26
  today at Crosley Field. Here's the 1 -1 pitch
• 6:29
  to Maury Wills. Inside, ball two, two and one.
• 6:37
  There was a delay up at San Francisco, and we
• 6:41
  get the report now Ron Hunt, the second baseman
• 6:43
  for the Giants, was beamed. There's a 2 -1 pitch
• 6:46
  to Wills, a strike. Fortunately, Hunt had the
• 6:50
  batting helmet on. As a safety precaution, he
• 6:53
  was taken off the field on a stretcher, but the
• 6:55
  report is that he is conscious and talking. And
• 6:59
  so hopefully... Little Muggsy will be all right.
• 7:03
  Here's a 2 -2 pitch to Maury Wills. Foul back.
• 7:08
  In that Cincinnati game, the Reds got five runs
• 7:10
  in the second inning. Made it 7 -2 at the end
• 7:14
  of five. The Cardinals added two in the sixth
• 7:17
  and one in the seventh. So they're now in the
• 7:20
  bottom of the seventh inning and Cincinnati hanging
• 7:22
  on to what is now a 7 -5 lead. 2 -2 pitch on
• 7:29
  the way to Maury Wills. Swung on and missed by
• 7:31
  three. In talking about Cincinnati, what a tremendous
• 7:36
  attraction when you realize that Dodgers have
• 7:38
  double headers with the Reds here on the 16th
• 7:42
  and on the 23rd in Crosley Field. Double headers
• 7:46
  with the Reds. Should be a wild one. Manny Mota
• 7:54
  the batter. Motor hitting .342 as the Dodgers,
• 7:58
  .334 overall. Rick Wise into the windup, and
• 8:05
  the right -hander's first one a little high,
• 8:07
  4 -1, 1 -0. Dodgers have won 7 of 11 from the
• 8:14
  Sills, 3 of the 5 played here. 1 -0 pitch to
• 8:20
  Motor, in there at the knees and on the edge
• 8:23
  for a strike in the count 1 -1. Now the 1 -1
• 8:34
  pitch on the way. Moda takes a half swing and
• 8:37
  hits it out in front of the plate. Down to get
• 8:39
  it is Wise, and he throws him out. So Moda thrown
• 8:42
  out by Rick Wise. Two down, and here he comes.
• 8:45
  The talk of the town, Willie Davis. Willie Davis.
• 9:00
  He's two games away from the all -time Dodger
• 9:03
  streak of 29 set by Zach Weed. His 27 -game hitting
• 9:08
  streak that he brings up to the plate right now
• 9:10
  ties him with Duke Snyder for the second longest
• 9:13
  streak in Dodger history. Duke had a 27 -game
• 9:18
  streak in 1963. I think it was 53. 1953. The
• 9:24
  pitch to Willie Davis over for a strike on one.
• 9:33
  Tomorrow, 1 o 'clock ballgame, the Dodgers and
• 9:35
  the New York Mets, and the Mets have become cover
• 9:37
  boys. They'll be on the cover of Time magazine.
• 9:40
  However, that story might be a little late, depending
• 9:44
  upon what happens today. The Cubs are winning.
• 9:47
  The Mets are playing a doubleheader with the
• 9:49
  Giants. The Mets started the day three and a
• 9:51
  half back of the Cubs, and I'm sure that Time
• 9:53
  got the idea when the Mets crawled it within
• 9:56
  two. Strike one pitch on the way. Willie skies
• 10:03
  away from the fastball up and in. One ball, one
• 10:06
  strike. There's a great quote in the paper, and
• 10:12
  it just shows you how confident a ball player
• 10:14
  can get after he's been around, and it is not
• 10:16
  misplaced confidence when you've been playing
• 10:18
  in the big leagues for eight years. Willie says
• 10:20
  he just feels he can hit .330. But one one pitch.
• 10:24
  Outside ball two, two and one. Well, he's hitting
• 10:26
  .317 right now. He also thinks, according to
• 10:32
  the quote in the paper, he might even be able
• 10:35
  to hit 400 before he's through. Needless to say,
• 10:40
  he's feeling chipper. 2 -1 pitch on the corner,
• 10:47
  strike two. 2 -2 to Willie. Wes Parker on deck.
• 10:51
  Two out in the first inning, no score. Rick Wise
• 11:09
  ready in the pitch to Davis. Ground ball to the
• 11:11
  hole. It's short. Up with it is Terry Harmon
• 11:13
  and throws him out by a stride. So the young
• 11:17
  shortstop nails Willie. He's gone. So are the
• 11:20
  Dodgers in order. And at the end of one, no score.
• 11:24
  Say, when you think of baseball, you just naturally
• 11:26
  think of hot dogs. They're go -togethers. But
• 11:28
  have you ever thought what it takes to make the
• 11:30
  perfect hot dog or wiener, as Farmer John calls
• 11:32
  them? Well, first of all, there's the quality
• 11:34
  of the meat. Farmer John wieners are not only
• 11:37
  all meat, but the best meat. U .S. inspected
• 11:40
  fresh eastern corn -fed pork and fresh, lean,
• 11:43
  juicy, homegrown beef. Then there's the matter
• 11:45
  of grinding the meat. Farmer John grinds it so
• 11:48
  finely his wieners are the smoothest you've ever
• 11:50
  tasted. Finally, of course, the flavor. Farmer
• 11:54
  John smokes his wieners just like he smokes his
• 11:57
  famous bacon over native western wood. That's
• 12:00
  why they have a wild and wonderful western flavor
• 12:02
  like no other. So if you're looking for the perfect
• 12:05
  wieners or perfect hot dogs, if you wish, look
• 12:08
  no further than Farmer John All Meat Wieners.
• 12:11
  Gold medal winners at the California State Fair.
• 12:13
  And if you don't see them in your store, ask
• 12:15
  for them. Why in the world settle for anything
• 12:17
  less than the perfect wieners? Farmer John. They're
• 12:27
  one inning, no score in the ballgame. The Dodgers
• 12:29
  and the Bills. While Bill Singer loosens up,
• 12:32
  we can duck in some scores for you. 6 -2, the
• 12:35
  Cubs leading Atlanta. Kenny Holtzman not only
• 12:37
  pitching, he hit a two -run home run. That's
• 12:40
  at the end of six. The Mets and the Giants scoreless
• 12:42
  at the end of three. Ron Hunt was beamed by Tom
• 12:45
  Seaver in that game and had to leave the game.
• 12:47
  Houston leading Pittsburgh 1 -0 at the end of
• 12:49
  four. Cincinnati 7 and the Cardinals 5 at the
• 12:53
  end of seven. The American League, Minnesota
• 12:56
  4, Boston nothing at the end of seven. 2 -2 Cleveland
• 12:59
  -Chicago at the end of 5. Detroit 4, Seattle
• 13:02
  2 at the end of 5. Washington beat Oakland 8
• 13:06
  -3. Frank Howard hit his 42nd home run, among
• 13:09
  other things, in the nation's capital. Hit, swung
• 13:12
  on, and missed by Johnny Callison. The end of
• 13:15
  7, 5 -3, the Yankees leading Kansas City. Callison
• 13:20
  hitting 263, 14 home runs, 44 RBIs. He's a good
• 13:26
  one that the White Sox had get away. Strike one
• 13:29
  pitch to John is swung on and missed strike two.
• 13:35
  On deck, the quiet man from San Diego, Darren
• 13:38
  Johnson. Second inning, no score. Bright, sunshiny
• 13:47
  day at the ballpark, and Singer comes back 0
• 13:49
  -2 in the fastball away. Ball one, one and two.
• 13:55
  History was said last night at Dodger Stadium
• 13:58
  when the Dodger Mighty Mites played their fathers,
• 14:01
  and for the first time in history, in the Dodger
• 14:04
  dressing room, a diaper was changed. The pitch
• 14:07
  to Callison, foul back. One and two, the count
• 14:20
  of Johnny Callison. It was Ted Sizemore. who's
• 14:25
  a brand new happy for the second time, who changed
• 14:27
  the diaper in the dressing room. Johnny Callison
• 14:30
  is a high foul off to the left of the play. That'll
• 14:33
  carry out a play and go deep in the lower deck.
• 14:36
  And the count remains one and two. So Callison
• 14:47
  keeping everybody up, fouling them back, fouling
• 14:50
  them off to the left. One and two. Finger into
• 14:56
  the windup in the one -two pitch. It's a drive
• 14:58
  to right center field. Willie Davis and Willie
• 15:01
  Carver. And it is who? I'm not sure who. It's
• 15:05
  Davis. Willie Davis caught the ball. And Willie
• 15:08
  Carver twisted and went falling away. They almost
• 15:11
  collided on that one. So Callison flies to Davis.
• 15:18
  One away. And here is Darren Johnson. Darren
• 15:21
  with 16 home runs, 65 RBIs, 263 average. Second
• 15:30
  inning, no score. Bill Singer delivers, and the
• 15:34
  first one chases Johnson out of there, ball one.
• 15:38
  The New York Mets hit tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday
• 15:40
  and Wednesday night. Tomorrow, 1 p .m., Jim Bunning
• 15:44
  and Jerry Kuzman. The 1 -0 pitch, Johnson takes
• 15:47
  inside, ball two. Dodgers have a lot of work
• 15:50
  to do at the Mets. The Mets really have shaken
• 15:52
  them up. Sweeping all six games played at Shea
• 15:55
  Stadium in New York. Here's the 2 -0 pitch to
• 16:00
  Johnson. A high pop foul to the right of the
• 16:02
  plate. And coming after it is Haller, but it's
• 16:04
  questionable. And Tommy will not have a play.
• 16:07
  This is a dugout roof. Back into the stands.
• 16:09
  They have a good -natured scramble for that one.
• 16:13
  2 -1. The Dodgers will take a look at the same
• 16:20
  three pitchers who gave them a bad time at New
• 16:23
  York, Kuzmin, Gentry, Cardwell. The last time
• 16:27
  they faced the Mets, they were relieved that
• 16:30
  they were not going to see Seaver, and they still
• 16:31
  lost. Johnson hits a line drive, face it to center
• 16:35
  field. Willie Davis up to get it. Sedan, a solid
• 16:38
  single with one out, and the batter will be Ron
• 16:41
  Stone. Ron Stone is from Corning, California,
• 16:54
  makes his home in Stockton. 6 '2", 195 pounders,
• 16:59
  27 years old. Stone, as he comes to the plate
• 17:05
  today, hitting .242. Throw to first place, Johnson
• 17:14
  back to the bag. Stone left -hand batter. So
• 17:19
  manager George Meyer trying to get some left
• 17:21
  -handed sticks in the lineup. Singer another
• 17:28
  throw to first base, and again Johnson back.
• 17:30
  Dern is not a base -stealing threat. What the
• 17:32
  Dodgers are worrying about is the hit -and -run
• 17:34
  play. The pitch to Stone taken for sight. That's
• 17:39
  an open invitation to have a left -hand hitter
• 17:41
  up and the runner at first, with the first baseman
• 17:43
  holding the runner on. That's a pretty good gap.
• 17:46
  Wills and Sizemore are trying to... Figure out
• 17:49
  who's going to cover. 0 -1 to Darren Johnson.
• 17:54
  The pitch is outside. He ran up as if to bunt.
• 17:57
  One ball, one strike. Cubs added a run. They
• 18:00
  now lead 7 -2 over Atlanta at the end of the
• 18:02
  6 .5. Will's talking to Singer. Perhaps wants
• 18:07
  Bill to make sure to know who's covering in the
• 18:11
  event of a hit -and -run play. 1 -1 to Ron Stone.
• 18:19
  Another throw to first, not in time. The Dodgers
• 18:21
  play Stone to go the other way. Willie Davis
• 18:25
  shading in the left center. Motor deep and near
• 18:27
  the line and left. 1 -1 pitch. Stone hits the
• 18:30
  ground ball to Wills. He feeds to Sizemore. He
• 18:33
  goes to Parker. So the double play, 6 -4 -3.
• 18:41
  No runs, one hit, nobody left. And at the end
• 18:44
  of an inning and a half, no score. Chris Town
• 18:47
  TV and the Chris Town Shopping Center, 19th Avenue
• 18:49
  and West Bethany Home Road presents From Magnavox,
• 18:52
  a new color television set that will be as important
• 18:54
  to viewers as new supersonic airplanes are to
• 18:56
  air travelers. From Magnavox comes a revolutionary
• 18:59
  achievement that solves the problem of annoying
• 19:01
  color variations in color TV. It's Total Automatic
• 19:04
  Color TV. Total Automatic Color from Magnavox
• 19:07
  makes tuning of color TV so simple a child can
• 19:10
  tune it perfectly. Total automatic color for
• 19:12
  Magnavox eliminates annoying color variations
• 19:14
  and the need for bothersome picture adjustments
• 19:16
  or tuning. Magnavox now lets you select the flesh
• 19:19
  tone colors most pleasing to you and keeps them
• 19:22
  that way in every picture from every program
• 19:24
  on any channel or network. Just set it once and
• 19:27
  forget it. No variance of colors from program
• 19:29
  to commercial, from program to program, or from
• 19:31
  channel to channel. Be the complete line of Magnavox
• 19:34
  Color TV. Now with total automatic color at Crishtown
• 19:38
  TV in the Crishtown Shopping Center, 19th Avenue
• 19:41
  and West Bethany Home Road. Crishtown TV and
• 19:43
  Magnavox, a colorful competition. Bottom of the
• 19:49
  second inning, no score in the ballgame. Wes
• 19:52
  Parker, Willie Crawford, and Bill Sudeikis coming
• 19:55
  up in that order against right -hander Rick Wise.
• 20:01
  On the message board, happy birthday to John
• 20:03
  Van Osdale, celebrating his 80th birthday. But
• 20:06
  I just want to celebrate today. So Parker will
• 20:09
  start it off. No score. Up at Candlestick Park,
• 20:14
  scoreless in the fourth inning, but Mike McCormick
• 20:17
  has been relieved by Ron Herbal. So apparently
• 20:20
  the Mets are up to something. So here's Parker.
• 20:28
  West has a modest six -game hitting streak. But
• 20:32
  it's better to project and show that he has hit
• 20:34
  safely in 19 of his last 24 games. Wise delivers.
• 20:40
  Fastball for a strike at the knees. On one. When
• 20:48
  Parker came back from the hospital, he really
• 20:49
  came roaring back. He's played in 14 games. He
• 20:54
  has 10 RBIs over that span. Strike one pitch
• 20:57
  to West. Ground ball to the left is short. Tricky
• 20:59
  hop, but Harmon stays with it and throws him
• 21:01
  out. So Parker rolls to short, one away, and
• 21:04
  Willie Crawford the batter. All we get is an
• 21:08
  old pro in the pork business. Farmer John knows
• 21:09
  that what counts most in pork products is freshness.
• 21:12
  The fresher, the better. That's why Farmer John
• 21:14
  brings you pork products that are as fresh as
• 21:16
  you can buy. Willie Crawford, who had to act
• 21:21
  more like an Indian rubber man in right field
• 21:23
  on the drive by Johnny Callison to avoid a collision
• 21:26
  with Willie Davis. Now coming up. Requires delivers,
• 21:33
  and Crawford takes the strike. Going on. Willie
• 21:37
  hitting .260. The next one to Crawford makes
• 21:49
  him pull away. One and one. Time called now.
• 21:58
  There is some fool. In fact, it's more than a
• 22:01
  fool. Somebody is throwing things down on the
• 22:07
  field and time is called. You know, you can't
• 22:14
  believe people in this world. There's just no
• 22:16
  way to believe people. How could anybody in his
• 22:20
  right mind come to a ballpark with thousands
• 22:23
  of ladies and children and people out to enjoy
• 22:25
  themselves and do something like that? And they
• 22:31
  are bottles that were thrown out on the field,
• 22:33
  glass bottles. Unbelievable. Friends, if you
• 22:38
  see anybody sitting next to you, and someone
• 22:40
  must have been next to the guy who did it. Just
• 22:42
  quietly excuse yourself and go over and pinpoint
• 22:45
  him, won't you, for the safety of all of us?
• 22:49
  Please? Thank you. So, time is called. That's
• 22:55
  outrageous. You know, in this day and age, we
• 23:03
  are getting so, we hear so much about people
• 23:06
  flaunting rules, flaunting authority. And I will
• 23:09
  say one thing. This is one of the better police
• 23:12
  parks in the league. And we're happy to say that
• 23:15
  whenever a kid runs out on the field, we notice
• 23:18
  the reaction here is less favorable to a youngster
• 23:22
  breaking the rules than it is in most any other
• 23:24
  park. And that's where it starts. I don't know
• 23:27
  how many times we've seen a kid run on the field,
• 23:29
  then a policeman go after him. And again, the
• 23:35
  announcement being made that if you have spotted
• 23:38
  the guy, the girl, the character, the mindless
• 23:42
  soul who did it, to please report him for the
• 23:46
  safety of everybody in the ballpark. Because
• 23:49
  whoever did that is not well, not well at all.
• 23:53
  Time called while they are cleaning up the broken
• 23:57
  bottles. So Jim Gilliam helping with a broom,
• 24:04
  helping the kids pick it up. But boy, it's shocking,
• 24:07
  isn't it? Well, it's like you try to explain
• 24:12
  to your children there are people in this world
• 24:15
  who are like that. And the best we can do is
• 24:19
  try and find them and put them someplace for
• 24:23
  their own benefit as well as all the society.
• 24:26
  Well, we're just about ready. But that's about
• 24:29
  as... I've seen it happen before, but not to
• 24:34
  the extent of that where a sack came out on the
• 24:36
  field. Okay. Boy, oh boy. Willie Crawford at
• 24:41
  the plate, one out in the second inning, no score.
• 24:43
  And Rick Wise into the windup and delivers, and
• 24:46
  it's swung on and fouled tip. One and two. Rick
• 24:57
  Wise checking. Outfield playing Crawford straight
• 25:00
  away. One out, second inning, no score. Right
• 25:03
  -handers fastball is down and away. Ball two.
• 25:05
  Two and two. Dodgers and Phillies concluding
• 25:12
  their season's work. The Mets will be here tomorrow.
• 25:16
  Now the 2 -2 pitch on the way, fouled back by
• 25:19
  Crawford, so he's still there, two balls, two
• 25:21
  strikes. Willie is slowly maturing to become
• 25:24
  a good Major League ball player, and he can only
• 25:27
  get better. He is just starting to learn his
• 25:30
  trade. A 260 average shows that he has learned
• 25:33
  quite a few lessons. Willie waiting. Wise checking.
• 25:38
  Now Rick into the windup. 2 -2 pitch on the way.
• 25:42
  Outside ball three. On deck, marking his return
• 25:49
  to the lineup today, Bill Sudeikis. Wise reading
• 26:00
  Watkins. Now the right -hander's 3 -2 pitch on
• 26:02
  the way. Crawford, it's a drive to right field.
• 26:04
  Callison goes back, and this ball is gone. Crawford.
• 26:33
  It's a low line drive that was just taken off
• 26:36
  as it went into the right field bleachers and
• 26:38
  the Dodgers lead one to nothing. And for Crawford,
• 26:41
  his ninth home run and his 37th RBI. One of the
• 26:44
  most dramatic improvements with Willie Crawford,
• 26:47
  he doesn't strike out as he used to. Here's Sudeikis.
• 26:50
  He takes high ball one. Up until about three
• 26:55
  weeks ago, Willie Crawford had a very bad strikeout
• 26:58
  ratio, but no longer. He's done a fine job. Sudeikis
• 27:02
  takes a breaking ball for a strike in a count
• 27:04
  one and one, and Davey Watkins wants to talk
• 27:06
  to his pitcher, so let's pause for the station
• 27:08
  identification. This is the Los Angeles Dodgers
• 27:10
  radio network. You can charge your purchases
• 27:12
  and take many months to pay at Paul Johnson Distributing
• 27:15
  Company, 7144 North 23rd Avenue, Phoenix, where
• 27:18
  you can use your Arizona Bank Bank AmeriCard.
• 27:20
  This is KTAR in Phoenix. Bill Sudeikis at the
• 27:26
  plate. Now the 1 -1 pitch on the way. Fastball
• 27:30
  outside. Ball two. 2 -1. 1 -0 Dodgers. Second
• 27:42
  inning. Crawford is just homered. Rick Wise into
• 27:46
  the windup. Sudeikis hits one on the ground to
• 27:49
  the shortstop Harmon who stays with him. Terry
• 27:52
  flicks across to Allen for the out. Two down.
• 27:55
  That'll bring up Tommy Haller. Tom Haller batting
• 28:04
  .266. Five home runs, 35 runs batted in. Rick
• 28:17
  Wise has allowed his 15th home run on that ball
• 28:21
  that Crawford hit out. The Dodgers, as a team,
• 28:27
  have hit 83 home runs now. Here's a pitch to
• 28:30
  Tom Haller, taken for a strike. On one. No further
• 28:38
  report out of Candlestick. We told you that Ron
• 28:40
  Herbel relieved Mike McCormick. The scoreless
• 28:43
  through three. The strike one pitch. In there.
• 28:48
  Strike two. 0 -2. For Cincinnati, again, the
• 28:53
  same story. They led 7 -2, 7 -4, 7 -5. Merritt,
• 28:58
  the starter, relieved by Carroll. Now Granger
• 29:01
  has to relieve Carroll in the eighth. Strike
• 29:04
  two -fifths to Haller. A high pop fly, back of
• 29:07
  third and down the line. A trio of fills in pursuit,
• 29:10
  and it's the middleman, Terry Harmon, the shortstop,
• 29:13
  who makes the catch. So the Dodgers get a run
• 29:16
  on ahead, a home run by Willie Crawford, and
• 29:18
  at the end of two, Dodgers 1, Phillies nothing.
• 29:21
  Hey, Hobie Alter, who do you look up to when
• 29:23
  everyone around you is being wiped out by some
• 29:25
  wild surf at Waimea Bay? I look up to the Holly
• 29:28
  Eva life -saving team. But usually all I see
• 29:30
  when I look up is another 25 -foot wave. Hey,
• 29:33
  Hobie Alter, who do you look up to when your
• 29:35
  car isn't taking the big hills like it should?
• 29:37
  I look up to 76. Those guys can really spot the
• 29:40
  trouble fast. They really know cars. They're
• 29:42
  trained that way. Look up to 76 to pinpoint your
• 30:00
  car's problems. And look up to 76 to keep it
• 30:03
  from happening again. With the finest in auto
• 30:05
  care products, like our Union Super Motor Oil.
• 30:08
  The oil designed for today's super cars. Through
• 30:22
  two innings here at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers
• 30:24
  one run, one hit. A home run by Willie Crawford.
• 30:27
  The Phillies no runs, one hit. Bill Singer and
• 30:30
  Rick Wise. Nothing new on the scoreboard, so
• 30:32
  we'll just wait until we get further reports.
• 30:34
  Let's go to the third. And for more play -by
• 30:36
  -play, here's Gary Dodgers. All right, Billy,
• 30:37
  and it'll be Dave Watkins, the catcher, followed
• 30:39
  by Rojas and Wise. Bill Singer with a run to
• 30:42
  work on now as we get set to play. Watkins batting
• 30:46
  184, has three home runs and eight runs batted
• 30:49
  in. The Phillies move on to San Diego after this
• 30:53
  game. They're trying to snap a losing streak,
• 30:57
  which began in San Francisco. All right, Watkins
• 31:05
  now waits as Singer delivers. Bunt try, missed,
• 31:08
  strike one. Sudeikis at third, Wills at short,
• 31:11
  Sizemore at second, Parker at first. Crawford
• 31:14
  in right, Davis in center, Mota in left for the
• 31:16
  Dodgers. Haller catching, Bill Singer trying
• 31:18
  to get his sixth. 17th win. He's won 16 and lost
• 31:21
  8. Now the 0 -1 pitch. Watkins takes a curved
• 31:24
  strike. He ducked under the pitch and it was
• 31:26
  in there for a strike and he couldn't believe
• 31:28
  it. So Dave Watkins was ducking under a breaking
• 31:31
  ball and it caught the inside corner. 0 -2 the
• 31:36
  count. Now the windup and the pitch on the way.
• 31:40
  Fastball just outside. One ball and two strikes.
• 31:44
  Several players trying for 19 today. is 18. Necro
• 31:50
  was tying for 19. He will not get it. He had
• 31:53
  to go out, and the Cubs are winning that game
• 31:55
  from Atlanta. A swing and a miss, and down goes
• 31:57
  Watson. Strikeout number two for Bill Singer.
• 32:04
  The Necro, 18 and 11, has been knocked out. Seaver
• 32:07
  apparently enjoying some runs by the Mets. At
• 32:09
  least the Giants have made a pitching change.
• 32:14
  And the Mets came up with five. Oh, that gives
• 32:18
  Seaver a little cushion, trying for his 19th.
• 32:22
  Here today, Bill Singer trying for his 17th.
• 32:28
  Claude Osteen got his 18th last night. That's
• 32:32
  the first game of a doubleheader at San Francisco,
• 32:33
  by the way. The pitch to Rojas' strike. Here's
• 32:36
  the windup and the pitch down. Swing and a fly
• 32:38
  ball to left center field. Willie Davis moving
• 32:39
  over. He's there and makes the catch for the
• 32:42
  out. For Rojas, guys to Davis in left center
• 32:45
  field. Two up and two down, and here's Wise coming
• 32:48
  on. Rick Wise. The pitcher has 16 hits, one home
• 32:56
  run. Not a bad hitting pitcher, 16 for 55. So
• 33:07
  Rick Wise comes on now. The Cubs have added another
• 33:11
  run and lead Atlanta now 8 -2 playing in the
• 33:14
  bottom of the eighth inning at Atlanta. Pitch
• 33:17
  comes high for Ball. One ball and no strike.
• 33:29
  Now the 1 -0 pitch. Curve is a strike 1 -1. 1
• 33:41
  -1 pitch. Swung on and foul tipped out of Haller's
• 33:44
  mask. And it is 1 -2. Tom takes the mask off.
• 33:50
  Walks back toward Singer, gets a new ball. One
• 33:53
  ball, two strikes. A ball and two strikes to
• 34:13
  Rick Wise with two outs, third inning. The Dodgers
• 34:17
  lead 1 -0 on Willie Crawford's home run. Pitch
• 34:22
  is swung on and missed strike three, and down
• 34:24
  goes Wise to retire the side. Three strikeouts
• 34:27
  for Singer, and the Phillies out on order, and
• 34:29
  the score at the end of two and a half innings
• 34:30
  of play. Dodgers 1, Philadelphia nothing. But
• 34:36
  everybody in Bakersfield, Berkey wholesaler Ellery
• 34:39
  Mulock, asked us to say hello for him. Ellery
• 34:41
  hopes to enjoy every game during the 1969 season,
• 34:44
  along with Berkey, the comfortable bear. On the
• 34:53
  message board, they have the score, New York
• 34:55
  5, Giants nothing for three and a half innings.
• 34:58
  And underneath it says, Mets, we love you. Tomorrow,
• 35:01
  grr. That's pretty good. The Mets are here tomorrow,
• 35:05
  of course, to open up a three -game series with
• 35:07
  Kuzma, Gentry, and Cardwell due to pitch for
• 35:09
  the Mets against Bunning, Sutton, and Osteen.
• 35:12
  Teddy Sizemore coming to bat now here in the
• 35:16
  bottom of third, and Ted has been one of the
• 35:17
  Dodger hot hitters of late. His average up to
• 35:20
  .270 as he steps into the batter's box. He's
• 35:24
  gone 6 for 10, and during the past 18 games back
• 35:27
  to August the 10th, he's had 27 hits for a .403
• 35:30
  average. And he's at safe in 16 of the 18 games
• 35:33
  during that streak. Picks one and fouled away.
• 35:36
  Strike one, 0 -1. Another note on Sizemore, he's
• 35:39
  never hit less than .296 in professional ball.
• 35:43
  And he's played on three teams, and they've all
• 35:45
  won pennants. So in addition to being a good
• 35:48
  player, he might be a good luck charm. So Sizemore
• 35:51
  waiting. Strike one count. Wise into the windup
• 35:56
  and the pitch on the way to Teddy. Slider for
• 35:57
  strike, and it's 0 -2. Sizemore hit .330 his
• 36:03
  first year at Tri -City, .295 at Albuquerque,
• 36:05
  which was a glow, and .314 for Spokane last year.
• 36:09
  And he's moving up now, up to .270, the pitch
• 36:12
  on the way. Too high with a breaking pitch, one
• 36:15
  and two. One ball, two strikes. It's Ted Sizemore,
• 36:20
  the Dodgers' Rookie of the Year candidate. Sudeikis,
• 36:26
  of course, would be classified as the rookie
• 36:27
  of the year also, but Bill has not played as
• 36:29
  much as Sizemore. The 1 -2 pitch. Taken low.
• 36:33
  Watkins started to throw it around. Pitched a
• 36:36
  little low inside. Ball two into the 2 -2 count.
• 36:39
  Another reminder, tomorrow's game, a day game.
• 36:42
  Labor Day, 1 o 'clock. Bunning and Koosman. Tuesday
• 36:45
  and Wednesday, night game with the Mets. Now
• 36:48
  Wise ready, the 2 -2 pitch. And he plays a line
• 36:50
  drive, base hit to left center field. That one
• 36:52
  might get through. He's around first pitch for
• 36:55
  second. Cut off by Stone. The floor to second
• 36:57
  base. He's safe. The blazing bat of Teddy Sizemore
• 37:05
  continues to sizzle as he lines one to left center
• 37:08
  field. Stone got over to cut it off on the grass,
• 37:11
  and by that time, Sizemore was in the second
• 37:13
  base. A two -base hit for Ted. So he's been really
• 37:19
  going. Here's Finger at bat now. We'll try to
• 37:21
  move him along. Allen moves up a step or two
• 37:23
  at first base in case the bunt is on. Johnson
• 37:25
  plays in at third. Sizemore on second. Singer
• 37:29
  waiting. And wise pitches. It's bunt, missed,
• 37:32
  and strike one. Popped out of the glove of Watkins,
• 37:35
  but no advance. So Singer trying to bunt, missed
• 37:38
  it completely. 0 -1. So for Sizemore, 17 of 19.
• 37:46
  It all began when Teddy went, I think, 0 for
• 37:49
  20. And they had a little session with... batting
• 37:52
  instructor Dixie Walker. That got him straightened
• 37:54
  away. Strike one count. Singer waiting. Sizemore
• 38:00
  off second. Here comes Rojas charging the plate
• 38:03
  and the pitch is too low. That's a new one. Instead
• 38:06
  of Allen coming in, Rojas, the second baseman,
• 38:08
  was coming in. So that's a new wrinkle on the
• 38:11
  bunt defense. Allen stayed at first. Rojas, the
• 38:14
  second, charged the plate. The other infielders...
• 38:17
  Johnson stayed near the bag, and the shortstop
• 38:20
  Harmon moved towards second. Now Allen moves
• 38:24
  up a step or two on the grass, and looks as if
• 38:26
  they have the same maneuver. Here's the pitch
• 38:29
  to Singer, and he swings away, hits it by Allen,
• 38:30
  and up with it will be Rojas, who runs to the
• 38:32
  bag, and on the play, five more goes to third.
• 38:37
  So Singer had a full swing, and Allen that time
• 38:39
  was charging the plate, with Rojas laying back,
• 38:42
  and it's a good thing. Had they both been charging,
• 38:45
  that would have been through them. But as it
• 38:47
  was, Rojas picked the ball up on the grass and
• 38:49
  carried it to the bag in time for the out. It
• 38:52
  was not a sacrifice, a full swing for Singer,
• 38:54
  but he got his man over. So he grounds it by
• 38:57
  Allen, retrieved by Rojas, and made the put out
• 39:00
  on assistance. Dives more to third on the ground
• 39:02
  out. And here's Maury Wills, who struck out his
• 39:05
  first time up. And now the Phillies bring the
• 39:06
  infield up. Wills trying to get the RBI. He's
• 39:13
  driven in 38th of the year. Wise with the pitch.
• 39:16
  Morey hits a foul over the backstop. Strike one.
• 39:23
  On one. Five more. Good speed at third. Wills
• 39:31
  on at first. Rick Wise catching signs. Here's
• 39:35
  the look now. And the pitch on the way to Morey.
• 39:39
  Taken high for the ball. One and one. Johnson
• 39:41
  edging in at third just in case the bunch would
• 39:43
  be on. Allen playing up at first base. 1 -1.
• 39:55
  Morey waiting in the pitch. Taking high after
• 39:57
  the ball, and it is 2 -1. 2 -1. Wyatt's working
• 40:11
  again. Ties Moore shortly away from third. Johnson
• 40:14
  tried to hold him on. And now a wide set again.
• 40:17
  The 1 -1 pitch. Moore, he takes high. Ball three.
• 40:19
  3 -1. Three balls and a strike to Wills. We're
• 40:25
  in the third inning. Cardinals fail to score
• 40:31
  in the eighth inning, and the Reds lead them
• 40:32
  by a score of 7 -5. 3 -1 pitch now to Wills.
• 40:38
  On the way. Boy, it's a line drive pace at the
• 40:40
  right center field. The run is in. 2 -0 Dodgers.
• 40:49
  So, Maury lines a single over the drawn -in infield.
• 40:55
  Strasburg scores, and Moda now will be the batter.
• 40:58
  2 -0 Dodgers. Moda grounded out to the pitcher
• 41:03
  his first time up. Will's on it first, and we'll
• 41:10
  see if Morey tries to steal in this spot. He
• 41:14
  has stolen 35. 19 is a Dodger. All right, Morey
• 41:21
  on first to throw over there, and he's back easily.
• 41:23
  The throw was high. Wise has turned quickly to
• 41:26
  throw it. Morey again sneaks off. About a two,
• 41:31
  three -step lead. They pick out, and he's not
• 41:34
  going. So Watkins... Call for the pitch out.
• 41:39
  Maury holding up. One in, one on, one out. Dodgers
• 41:46
  lead 2 -0. We're in the third inning. Sizemore
• 41:49
  doubles. Tore it on the base hit by Wills after
• 41:51
  he went to third on the ground out. Here's a
• 41:53
  play to first again and Maury back easily. That
• 41:55
  was just a lob throw by Wise that time. Mets
• 42:01
  lead the Giants 5 -0 in the fourth inning. There
• 42:04
  he goes. Here's the throw by Watkins. And it
• 42:06
  is. It is in time. Morey is out. I think Watkins
• 42:10
  wanted the pitch out, but the pitch was in the
• 42:13
  strike zone for a strike, and he still made the
• 42:15
  throw in time to get Morey. Shortstop handled
• 42:20
  the throw. So Morey, who had stolen eight bases
• 42:24
  in his last six games, had a string going of
• 42:28
  nine consecutive preps, and that's snapped by
• 42:30
  Watkins here. The 1 -1 picks the motor. Foul.
• 42:33
  Out of play down the right field line. Tamori,
• 42:36
  who was running well, is thrown out by the Philadelphia
• 42:39
  catcher. One and two to Manny Mota. Two outs.
• 42:50
  Rick Wise checking signs. Mota waiting. On deck,
• 42:54
  Willie Davis. Now Rick's cut again into the windup
• 42:59
  and the pitch on the way to Mota. Line drive
• 43:01
  along the right field line is going to be just
• 43:04
  fouled by about three or four feet. Bounces into
• 43:06
  the lower stand. The motor shot to right field,
• 43:09
  but he fouled it away. The Phillies play him
• 43:11
  over that way. Callison was not too far off the
• 43:13
  line. One ball, two strikes. Motor goes back
• 43:17
  to try it again. Manning hitting .334 with three
• 43:19
  home runs, 25 runs batted in. Motor up, waiting.
• 43:31
  and wise with the wind up in the pit pulling
• 43:32
  a ground ball to shortstop harman big hop crow
• 43:35
  is in time and the side is retired the motor
• 43:38
  grounds out but the dodgers pick up a run on
• 43:40
  two hits and none left on the score through three
• 43:42
  innings dodgers two and the phillies nothing
• 43:46
  Well, Clay, you baseball fans with young children
• 43:48
  know how important it is for youngsters to eat
• 43:50
  a hearty breakfast. Farmer John would like to
• 43:51
  suggest his lean, luscious Farmer John sausage.
• 43:54
  Farmer John makes his sausage with all the best
• 43:56
  meat, not just the simmings, and he makes it
• 43:58
  to an old -time Western recipe with only natural
• 44:01
  herbs and spices. So there's a wonderful Western
• 44:03
  flavor in every marvelous meaty morsel. And Farmer
• 44:06
  John's sausage is as fresh as you can buy. It's
• 44:09
  made from fresh Eastern corn -fed pork, brought
• 44:11
  out here live, then U .S. inspected and dressed
• 44:13
  fresh right here in the West. Well, that's why
• 44:15
  Farmer John's Sausage always has a rosy, fresh
• 44:18
  complexion. It never looks gray like sausage
• 44:21
  shipped in frozen or cold storage. So be sure
• 44:25
  to pick up a package of Farmer John's Fresh Country
• 44:27
  Sausage next time you shop. It's the sausage
• 44:30
  that won the gold medal at the California State
• 44:32
  Fair. And you'll agree, it's the easternmost
• 44:35
  in quality and the westernmost in flavor. That's
• 44:39
  Farmer John's Luscious Farmer John's Sausage.
• 44:44
  For three innings, it is 2 -0 Dodgers on three
• 44:47
  hits. Phillies no runs in one hit. Bill Singer
• 44:49
  now warming up with Tom Haller, all set to go.
• 44:52
  Into the fourth, Phillies coming up back to play
• 44:54
  in their fifth. So far, the Dodgers doing it
• 44:56
  with dispatch, a home run by Willie Crawford,
• 44:58
  and a double followed by a clutch single. The
• 45:01
  Phillies trying to get some back. We'll have
• 45:03
  Terry Harmon in the shortstop, followed by Johnny
• 45:05
  Briggs, and then Richie Allen. Bill Singer has
• 45:08
  allowed one hit through three innings, a line
• 45:11
  single to center by Darren Johnson. who was then
• 45:13
  doubled up as Ron Stone hit into a double play.
• 45:16
  Bill has six at the minimum, nine batters in
• 45:19
  three innings. Breaking ball over first strike
• 45:21
  to Harmon, 0 -1. Harmon playing for Don Money.
• 45:27
  Carry 25. He's from Toledo. Strike one pitch
• 45:33
  is hit down the right field line. Crawford racing
• 45:35
  across the line in foul ground. It drops untouched
• 45:38
  and bounces into the sand. Willie picks it up
• 45:42
  and flips it back in after it had come out and
• 45:45
  receives this water to the town. 0 -2 to town.
• 46:02
  Final. And Bob Gibson lost his tenth. Jimmy Merritt
• 46:06
  won his sixteenth. Harmon fouls a pitch away
• 46:10
  upstairs, and a young girl in a print dress held
• 46:14
  onto that one. Now, Scalzo, she juggled a little
• 46:19
  bit, but it was a very difficult chance. Harmon
• 46:25
  hits one over the mound, slanting in front of
• 46:27
  the bag as well to throw him out. So Harmon grounds
• 46:33
  to short. The batter, Johnny Briggs. Johnny Briggs,
• 46:46
  left -hand hitting center fielder, popped up
• 46:47
  to third baseman Bill Sudeikis in the first inning.
• 46:53
  Briggs takes outside, ball one, 1 -0. 2 -0 Dodgers,
• 47:02
  fourth inning. Singer comes back, breaking ball
• 47:05
  away, ball two. On deck, Richie Allen. The next
• 47:18
  one is driven to right center field. The Corbett
• 47:20
  going back and up and makes the catch to the
• 47:22
  out. Got a good jump on that line drive. So Briggs
• 47:28
  lines to Crawford and here's Richie Allen. The
• 47:36
  last time Richie Allen hit the ball was his last
• 47:40
  at -bat Friday night. And when he hit it, he
• 47:43
  hit it. He hit it into the bleachers in right
• 47:46
  field. But last night, he struck out four times,
• 47:49
  and Singer struck him out in the first inning
• 47:51
  today. Bill DeLeris, fastball for a strike. He
• 47:56
  got him on breaking ball the first time, and
• 48:01
  he shoots one over for a strike. Now the strike
• 48:05
  one pitch, breaking ball fouled away, and so
• 48:07
  Richie's in a hole, 0 -2. Allen is a remarkable
• 48:14
  player. in the sense that he has struck out 111
• 48:18
  times and is still hitting 311. You realize the
• 48:23
  percentages when he does make contact. Fastball,
• 48:26
  got him, strike three, called. He has struck
• 48:28
  out six consecutive times. They're gone in the
• 48:32
  fourth, and at the end of three and a half innings,
• 48:34
  the Dodgers two and the Phillies nothing. Kemper

  volume camper dealer. As we go to the fourth
• 49:42
  inning, the Dodgers leading the Phillies 2 -0.
• 49:44
  And I'm sure that your mind works somewhat like
• 49:47
  ours. You start talking about Richie Allen and
• 49:50
  the fact that he has struck out consecutively
• 49:53
  now in his last six at -bats. Willie Davis coming
• 49:57
  up, so let's wait until Willie has had his at
• 49:59
  -bats with that 27 -game hitting figure. And
• 50:01
  then we'll talk about the record for most consecutive
• 50:05
  strikeouts. That's not as a pitcher as a hitter.
• 50:09
  Willie waiting. He was thrown out by Terry Harmon,
• 50:12
  the shortstop. Right -hander Wise delivers a
• 50:19
  drive down the left field line, slicing foul,
• 50:22
  and it goes into the seat, out of play. 0 -1.
• 50:26
  0 -1 to Willie. the strike one pitch on the way.
• 50:47
  Wise delivers. High and inside. One and one.
• 50:53
  Dodgers leading two to nothing in the fourth
• 50:55
  inning. Atlanta must be doing something in the
• 50:58
  bottom of the eighth inning. How much we don't
• 51:00
  know. Holtzman was relieved by Abernathy. Abernathy
• 51:04
  was relieved by Aguirre. The one -one pitch away.
• 51:08
  Ball two. In that game, it would appear the Cubs
• 51:12
  have a commanding lead of eight to two. Though
• 51:15
  it remains to be seen what they've done in the
• 51:17
  bottom of the eighth, that they've changed pitches
• 51:19
  twice. Here's a 2 -1 pitch to Willie Davis. Fastball
• 51:25
  hit right through the middle, hits the bag, and
• 51:28
  it's a base hit to center. Willie is hit safely
• 51:32
  in 28 straight. Willie Davis hits his shot up
• 51:47
  the middle. He is now second on the all -time
• 51:50
  Dodger list of the longest hitting streak. Zach
• 51:52
  Wheat has hit in 29. And Willie will challenge
• 51:55
  the master tomorrow. Willie Davis, 28th straight.
• 52:02
  Here's Wes Parker. Why is it the barrel has a
• 52:06
  look at Davis? He goes, didn't get a good jump.
• 52:08
  The throw down. He's in there. Comes off the
• 52:11
  bag and they get him. He was safe and then called
• 52:18
  out. As Terry Harmon tried to get him and couldn't,
• 52:23
  but as he eluded Harmon's tag, he apparently
• 52:26
  came off the bag, and then Harmon got him a second
• 52:29
  time. Willie stumbled in getting his break at
• 52:32
  first base. He did not get a jump at all. So
• 52:35
  he's out 2 -6. And receives the applaud of the
• 52:40
  crowd as he goes walking off the field. Well,
• 52:45
  we can tell you a little bit more about that
• 52:47
  consecutive strikeout by a batter. First of all,
• 52:50
  the hits to it, naturally. Who would be the worst
• 52:53
  hitter? Who would be the guy who would strike
• 52:54
  out consecutively the most times? The answer
• 52:57
  would have to be a pitcher. The pitch to Parker
• 53:06
  Loeb, all two. Most consecutive at -bats striking
• 53:10
  out. Bill Hands of the Cubs did it last year.
• 53:14
  He struck out 14 times in a row. Here's the 2
• 53:19
  -0 pitch. Bow back. In the American League, pitcher
• 53:22
  George Brunette of the Angels in 67 struck out
• 53:26
  8 times in a row. But to a pitcher, that wouldn't
• 53:30
  be news. What would be the disturbing record,
• 53:33
  and he is in the books, would be a non -pitcher
• 53:35
  striking out consecutive at -bats. Here's the
• 53:39
  2 -1 pitch on the way. taken for a strike. That
• 53:42
  would be held by Adolfo Phillips, formerly of
• 53:46
  the Cubs, now with Montreal. Adolfo Phillips,
• 53:50
  three years ago, struck out nine straight times,
• 53:53
  and he's a center fielder. Here's the 2 -2 pitch
• 53:59
  on the way. Parker takes strike three calls.
• 54:02
  As far as the station identification, this is
• 54:05
  the Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network. You can
• 54:07
  charge your purchase of red -pink metal and superior
• 54:09
  at the Fox Pounder Incorporated, 2308 North 15th
• 54:12
  Avenue, Phoenix, where you can use your Arizona
• 54:13
  Bank Bank America card. This is KTAR in Phoenix,
• 54:17
  Arizona. Willie Crawford is at the plate. Homer
• 54:27
  in the second inning. He's one for one. Wise
• 54:29
  delivers and it's swung on and missed him. Boy,
• 54:31
  he had a rip at that. 0 -1. One other thing,
• 54:35
  and we'll close the book on strikeouts. The most
• 54:37
  strikeouts in a nine -inning game five times
• 54:40
  by many players. In fact, so many they don't
• 54:44
  bother to listen. Here's the strike one pitch
• 54:47
  to Willie Crawford. Outside, 1 -1. By the way,
• 54:51
  with all the fuss and feathers down there in
• 54:52
  Atlanta, the Braves came up with two. So it is
• 54:56
  8 -4. Favor of Chicago at the end of 8, and it's
• 54:59
  raining in Georgia. Here's the 1 -1 pitch on
• 55:07
  the way to Willie Crawford. Poked down to shortstop.
• 55:10
  Harmon gloves it, straightens up, flips across
• 55:12
  to Allen in time. Didn't get much on his throw.
• 55:16
  Made it a close play. No runs ahead. Nobody left
• 55:18
  at the end of 4. Dodgers 2, Phillies nothing.
• 55:22
  Hey, Johnny Weismiller. Who did you look up to
• 55:24
  in all those Tarzan epics? I usually looked up
• 55:27
  to the monkeys. They were always a few lines
• 55:28
  ahead of me. And I looked up to my elocution
• 55:31
  teacher. He taught me how to say... Hey, Johnny
• 55:37
  Weismuller, who do you look up to when your car
• 55:39
  starts getting ahead of you? That's when I look
• 55:41
  up to 76. Those guys are real swingers when it
• 55:44
  comes to keeping my car on a beaten path. Union
• 56:02
  76 dealers know about cars. They live with them
• 56:05
  all day. Plus, they've got the best gasolines
• 56:07
  around and 76 revolving credits to help you pay
• 56:11
  the bill. Drop in. Don't get caught out on the
• 56:13
  limp. Through four innings at Dodgers, leading
• 56:36
  Philadelphia 2 -0, and so he would not be forgotten,
• 56:39
  the crowd here at the ballpark applauding Jim
• 56:41
  Brewer, who is back at Centinella Hospital. We
• 56:45
  all wish him well and hope he'll join the ball
• 56:47
  club shortly. Johnny Callison, the batter. Johnny
• 57:00
  Callison, fly to center in the second inning.
• 57:02
  Bill Singer delivers. Breaking ball. Over for
• 57:05
  a strike. 0 -1. Singer straightens up into the
• 57:17
  windup. He struck out four. His next ball high
• 57:20
  and away. 1 -1. His pitch is just three men per
• 57:25
  inning, so he's faced only 12. He's allowed just
• 57:30
  one hit. Single by Darren Johnson. Callison takes
• 57:33
  good breaking ball. Strike two. One and two.
• 57:39
  New York really chewing up the Giants. Well,
• 57:42
  it figures. They have given the California team
• 57:44
  such a bad time this year. They're leading the
• 57:47
  Giants eight to nothing now. The end of four
• 57:49
  and a half. There's a one -hopper backhanded
• 57:52
  by the Golden Glove. Oh, what a play. Parker
• 57:55
  just calmly walks over and steps on the bag.
• 58:01
  Boy, the Dodgers are so fortunate over the years.
• 58:04
  They had as fine a fielding first baseman as
• 58:08
  you could imagine in Gil Hodges. And they come
• 58:11
  right back with a Ron Fairley and come right
• 58:13
  back with a Wes Parker. So Parker, the Golden
• 58:17
  Glove, just sucked that one up easily. Darren
• 58:21
  Johnson fouls it away, 0 -1. Final score, Minnesota
• 58:27
  beat Boston 6 -2, and Jim Perry picked up his
• 58:31
  17th. He beat Vicente Romo. Johnson fouls another
• 58:34
  one away, 0 -2. 0 -2 the count to Darren Johnson.
• 58:47
  Now the strike two pitch on the way, pass ball
• 58:49
  low, ball one, 1 -2. Hands on his knees, checking
• 59:04
  signs. Now the one -two pitch, breaking ball.
• 59:07
  Got him swinging, and boy, he's throwing hard
• 59:09
  -breaking stuff. Well, the Dodgers -Phillies
• 59:12
  game broadcast coming to you from Los Angeles.
• 59:14
  If you're planning a shopping trip, here's a
• 59:16
  shopping hint. Save time, save steps. Look in
• 59:19
  the yellow pages first. You'll find it's a handy
• 59:21
  buying guide. Five strikeouts, two down in the
• 59:29
  fifth inning, and Rhyme stoned the batter. Stone
• 59:33
  left -hand hitting outfielder, hit into a double
• 59:35
  play, going the other way to shortstop. He takes
• 59:38
  the strike. Singer throwing hard, particularly
• 59:41
  a hard curve. Owen won the count. Singer back
• 59:48
  overhand and bounced it in the dirt. One ball
• 59:51
  and one strike. Houston getting magnificent pitching
• 59:58
  and not much hitting in the last week. Houston
• 1:00:02
  might very well have been right up there at the
• 1:00:04
  top if they had hit at all. But they have not.
• 1:00:07
  And today they're tied up 2 -2 in the bottom
• 1:00:10
  of the seventh. Stone takes outside. Ball two,
• 1:00:13
  two and one. Denny LeMaster and Luke Walker in
• 1:00:16
  that game at Pittsburgh. With Pittsburgh. The
• 1:00:21
  Cincinnati's home in the barn. They've beaten
• 1:00:23
  the Cardinals 7 -5. Now they sit back and wait.
• 1:00:26
  2 -1 pitch. Ground ball to the hole. Right side.
• 1:00:29
  Through into right field for the Baysheds. So
• 1:00:32
  Ron Stone singles to right, and with two out,
• 1:00:35
  Dave Watkins, the catcher, coming up. Watkins
• 1:00:44
  struck out in the third inning, right -hand hitting
• 1:00:46
  catcher, 0 for 1. He's done the catching in this
• 1:00:50
  series. Mike Ryan, who normally plays against
• 1:00:53
  the Dodgers, has a bruised rib cage. Now Watkins
• 1:00:57
  going all the way behind the plate. Watkins hit
• 1:01:03
  a home run the other night into the bleachers
• 1:01:05
  just to the right of the 400 sign. So he's got
• 1:01:07
  a little power. He takes the strike. Two runs,
• 1:01:12
  four hits for the Dodgers. No runs, two hits
• 1:01:15
  for the Phillies. Fifth inning, Ron Stone at
• 1:01:18
  first base. The next one inside. One ball, one
• 1:01:23
  strike. Singer, a backward glance at Stone, who
• 1:01:36
  is a cautious lead. The pitch to Watkins, he
• 1:01:38
  jammed him. A foul ball to the right of the plate,
• 1:01:40
  and Haller has a play. He comes over and makes
• 1:01:42
  the catch. No runs, one hit, a man left. That's
• 1:01:48
  the first man left on by the Pills, and at the
• 1:01:50
  end of four and a half innings, Dodgers 2, Phillies
• 1:01:52
  nothing. Despite the fact that we stay pretty
• 1:01:55
  much in one place for about three hours when
• 1:01:57
  we're doing a ball game, we do get around a little.
• 1:01:59
  About 6 ,000 miles worth on the average road
• 1:02:02
  trip, and on the really long ones, it's really
• 1:02:03
  too long. And when you're in the middle of one
• 1:02:05
  of those trips, say in Chicago in August, and
• 1:02:08
  it's around 100 degrees, boy, there are times
• 1:02:10
  when you're not averse to dipping your bill in
• 1:02:13
  a glass of beer. And I'll tell you one thing
• 1:02:14
  you'll discover in New York or Chicago or Atlanta
• 1:02:17
  or Houston. There is no better beer than that
• 1:02:20
  comfortable Bergie you get back home. No beer
• 1:02:22
  tastes better or is colder or wetter or more
• 1:02:25
  refreshing than Bergie. And Bergie is the comfortable
• 1:02:28
  beer. Comfortable beer. Easy to drink and still
• 1:02:31
  good tasting. Glass after comfortable glass because
• 1:02:34
  it's brewed with soft water. There's no other
• 1:02:37
  beer like it. And there's no other place you
• 1:02:39
  can get it except right around home. Well, I
• 1:02:41
  hope you take some home today. Take home six
• 1:02:43
  cold cans or bottles of Bergie and taste it.
• 1:02:46
  Got it right there, and you don't have to travel
• 1:02:48
  6 ,000 miles to find out about the comfortable
• 1:02:50
  beer, Bergie. On the message board, happy birthday
• 1:02:55
  to Mrs. Clara West of West Covina. She was among
• 1:02:57
  those who were at the groundbreaking ceremonies
• 1:02:59
  at Dodger Stadium. Great Dodger fan at the age
• 1:03:02
  of 94. Bottom of the fifth inning, 2 -0 Dodgers.
• 1:03:08
  Bill Sudeikis will start, then Tom Haller and
• 1:03:11
  Ted Sizemore. Rick Wise delivers, and the first
• 1:03:23
  one to Sudeikis, low, ball one, 1 -0. Bill taking
• 1:03:26
  a bunt. Wise reading Watkins. Right hander's
• 1:03:38
  1 -0 pitch to Sudeikis, chased and missed. He's
• 1:03:40
  fooled by that one, 1 -1. Rick Wise, 11 -10.
• 1:03:48
  Wise is only 24. He figures to be quite a pitcher
• 1:03:52
  for many years for Philadelphia. The next one
• 1:03:53
  is swung on and missed. He got him outside and
• 1:03:56
  now inside in the count one and two. Wise into
• 1:04:08
  the windup and the one -two pitch on the way.
• 1:04:10
  Chased and missed and Sudeikis was guessing he
• 1:04:13
  was going to get another pitch inside and instead
• 1:04:15
  Wise outflicked him, came outside and he looked
• 1:04:18
  bad striking out. One away and Tom Haller the
• 1:04:22
  batter. The third strikeout for Rick Wise. Haller
• 1:04:30
  fouled out to shortstop Terry Harmon. He's 0
• 1:04:33
  for 1. Right hander's pitch is taken for a strike
• 1:04:39
  on the corner. 1 -1. Mets are here tomorrow afternoon.
• 1:04:51
  Strike one pitch is hit to center fielder Johnny
• 1:04:53
  Briggs. He's right there. John makes the catch
• 1:04:56
  for the second out. That'll bring up Ted Sizemore.
• 1:04:59
  Ted has figured prominently in the series. He
• 1:05:03
  drove in one run and scored the other in last
• 1:05:07
  night's 2 -0 victory. In the first game of the
• 1:05:11
  series, it was Sizemore's base hit, his third
• 1:05:13
  of the night, that tied up the game, and the
• 1:05:15
  Dodgers went on to win. And today, he doubled
• 1:05:18
  and scored a run. So Ted, figuring prominently
• 1:05:22
  in the Dodger victories against Philadelphia.
• 1:05:24
  The pitch to Sizemore. Breaking ball low, ball
• 1:05:27
  one, 1 -0. Here's a 1 -0 pitch. Sizemore waiting,
• 1:05:38
  and Wise delivers, and it's outside, ball two.
• 1:05:41
  Good ballplayers play until it is just impossible
• 1:05:44
  not to play, and Sizemore fits into that category.
• 1:05:48
  He played the other night against Montreal with
• 1:05:51
  a blinding headache. He said he could hardly
• 1:05:54
  see straight, but he still wanted to play. Fits
• 1:05:57
  inside. Naturally, he did not have a good night.
• 1:06:03
  But it didn't bother him. He just checked in
• 1:06:05
  anyway. Fortunately for Ted... That one headache
• 1:06:09
  has since gone. Here's the 3 -0 pitch. Over for
• 1:06:12
  a strike. 3 -1. Size more winning with two out
• 1:06:21
  in the fifth inning. 2 -0 Dodgers. Wise ready.
• 1:06:24
  Rick delivers. And the pitch is low. Ball four.
• 1:06:28
  So Ted's aboard with a walk. That's the first
• 1:06:32
  pass issued by Wise. Sizemore sure has been on
• 1:06:38
  base a lot against Philadelphia. Seven times
• 1:06:45
  in the three games, Sizemore's been on base.
• 1:06:49
  They've kept him off base only twice. So seven
• 1:06:52
  out of nine at bat, Ted has gotten to first base.
• 1:06:54
  He draws the throw and gets back. Sizemore started
• 1:07:01
  the day at 270. He's stolen four bases. Singer
• 1:07:04
  fouled the first one away on one. Two outs, fifth
• 1:07:15
  inning. Dodgers two, Phillies nothing. The Phillies
• 1:07:18
  are not going to worry very much about Sizemore
• 1:07:20
  trying to steal. It is certainly not a percentage
• 1:07:22
  play for him to go. Pitch high, one and one.
• 1:07:25
  Singer is not considered that good a hitter.
• 1:07:30
  So if Sizemore steals, the odds still are that
• 1:07:33
  Singer's not going to pick him up. And if Sizemore's
• 1:07:35
  thrown out, then you have the pitchers starting
• 1:07:37
  the next inning. So it doesn't figure he'd go.
• 1:07:40
  Pitch foul back in the count, one and two. Singer
• 1:07:42
  with the bat. has seven hits, two RBIs. The two
• 1:07:49
  hitting pitchers on the Dodgers staff, Osteen
• 1:07:51
  with 22 hits, and Sutton with 14. One and two,
• 1:07:57
  the count. The pitch is popped in the air, fouled
• 1:08:00
  back of the plate, and out of play in the second
• 1:08:02
  deck, directly behind Holmes. Nothing new on
• 1:08:06
  the scoreboard. We told you it's raining in Atlanta.
• 1:08:08
  It's 8 -4 Chicago, and the Cubs waiting their
• 1:08:11
  turn to come to the plate in the ninth inning.
• 1:08:14
  The Mets, eight, and the Giants, nothing in the
• 1:08:16
  bottom of the sixth of their first game. Pittsburgh,
• 1:08:19
  Houston, 2 -2 at the end of seven. Montreal,
• 1:08:22
  two. San Diego, nothing at the end of three and
• 1:08:25
  a half. Cincinnati beat the Cardinals, 7 -5.
• 1:08:27
  Singer fouls another one away. And hold it. There
• 1:08:32
  was a balk on that last pitch. The second base
• 1:08:35
  umpire, Vargo. George Myatt goes after the mound.
• 1:08:39
  But Wise accused of balking. So Ted Sizemore
• 1:08:43
  goes to second base. And Myatt goes out there
• 1:08:46
  to talk to the second base umpire. Most of the
• 1:08:50
  time, you'll see a balk call by the first base
• 1:08:52
  umpire or the plate umpire. Not too often by
• 1:08:55
  the second base umpire, but after Myatt finds
• 1:08:58
  out why, he apparently is placated and goes back
• 1:09:01
  to the dugout. Final score, Detroit beats Seattle,
• 1:09:05
  7 -2. Wilson, the winner, Braybender, the loser.
• 1:09:10
  Minnesota beat Boston 6 -2. Washington over Oakland
• 1:09:13
  8 -3. New York over Kansas City 5 -3. The pitch
• 1:09:18
  to Singer flung out and missed, and down he goes.
• 1:09:20
  No runs, no hits, a man left. And at the end
• 1:09:23
  of five, Dodgers 2, Phillies nothing. You know,
• 1:09:27
  more and more companies today play a lot of different
• 1:09:30
  positions in the business world. They're in this
• 1:09:32
  and that and about everything. Well, our friend
• 1:09:34
  Farmer John continues to stick to the one business
• 1:09:37
  he knows best, and that business is sports. Well,
• 1:09:40
  maybe that's the reason Farmer John's fresh pork
• 1:09:41
  roasts, pork chops, and spare ribs are the finest
• 1:09:44
  you can buy. Farmer John goes all the way back
• 1:09:46
  to the famous corn country for his pork. Then
• 1:09:49
  he ships this fine, fresh, eastern corn -fed
• 1:09:51
  pork out here live. And it's U .S. inspected
• 1:09:54
  and dressed fresh right here in the West. Most
• 1:09:56
  other packers, you know, ship their pork in frozen
• 1:09:59
  or cold storage. Well, that's why Farmer John
• 1:10:01
  pork is so fresh and so fresh tasting. Enjoy
• 1:10:04
  a lean, luscious Farmer John pork roast soon.
• 1:10:07
  Or how about some sweet succulent Farmer John
• 1:10:09
  pork cut? Or pick up a batch of marvelous meaty
• 1:10:13
  Farmer John spare ribs. So just be sure to ask
• 1:10:16
  the butcher for Farmer John pork, gold medal
• 1:10:19
  winner at the California State Fair. Don't forget
• 1:10:21
  it, Farmer John. Two to five innings, the Dodgers
• 1:10:28
  leading the Phillies 2 -0. And today's centennial
• 1:10:30
  celebrity just took his bow, Alex Ferguson. A
• 1:10:33
  rookie pitcher in 1921, with the New York Yankees'
• 1:10:36
  first pennant -winning team, he spent 17 years
• 1:10:39
  in pro ball. Finished his career playing for
• 1:10:41
  Casey Sengal at Toledo. Alex Ferguson, now retired,
• 1:10:46
  lives in Camarillo for the past five years, and
• 1:10:48
  we're happy to honor him today as our centennial
• 1:10:50
  celebrity. Alex Ferguson. Sixth inning, 2 -0
• 1:10:57
  Dodgers. Cookie Rojas. Rick Wise and Terry Harmon.
• 1:11:07
  The Dodgers will have a new face here tomorrow.
• 1:11:10
  And with Jim Brewer sidelined, he might very
• 1:11:14
  well be dropped right into the fire. That would
• 1:11:16
  be pitcher Warren Jenkins. Rojas takes high ball
• 1:11:19
  one. Jenkins was purchased by the Dodgers from
• 1:11:22
  the Washington Senators organization. And he
• 1:11:26
  is eligible to play. tomorrow. The 1 -0 pitch
• 1:11:29
  is popped in the air. Sizemore and Wills go out.
• 1:11:32
  Davis comes in. It's Sizemore for the catch.
• 1:11:35
  There will also be several other youngsters who
• 1:11:38
  will arrive here tomorrow. Steve Garvey, a third
• 1:11:43
  baseman and first baseman with a lot of power.
• 1:11:46
  And the Dodgers have him as a star of the near
• 1:11:48
  future. Garvey will come from the Albuquerque
• 1:11:51
  club. And then Tuesday, a half a dozen players.
• 1:11:57
  Bob Stinson, Tommy Hutton, Bob Valentine, John
• 1:11:59
  Miller, Von Joshua, and Billy Buckner. So some
• 1:12:02
  of the new blood will be here by Tuesday. Pitch
• 1:12:04
  to Wise, missing, ball one. The next one is swung
• 1:12:10
  on and missed, one and one. In Atlanta, it has
• 1:12:15
  stopped raining now, so the Cubs will come to
• 1:12:17
  the plate, leading eight to four in the ninth
• 1:12:18
  inning. Singers, one -one pitch, breaking ball,
• 1:12:23
  foul tipped, one and two. Bill has struck out
• 1:12:27
  five. Wise has struck out four. Singer is allowed
• 1:12:32
  just two hits. A single to center by Darren Johnson.
• 1:12:35
  A single to right by Ron Stone. Half swing on
• 1:12:37
  a breaking ball that Wise held up in the count
• 1:12:40
  two and two. Bill ready in the 2 -2 pitch. Pass
• 1:12:52
  ball, hit off first, down the line, slicing foul,
• 1:12:55
  out of play. Still 2 -2. On deck, leadoff man,
• 1:13:11
  Terry Harmon. 2 -2 pitch to Wise. The fly ball
• 1:13:17
  to left field and Motta was playing him over
• 1:13:19
  towards left center. It's going to drop inside
• 1:13:21
  the line for a hit. And Rick holds on with a
• 1:13:24
  long single. Nice throw by Motta to keep the
• 1:13:27
  pitcher at first base. For Rick Wise, a good
• 1:13:30
  hitting pitcher. That's his 17th hit. He's no
• 1:13:32
  slouch with the bat. And the batter will be Terry
• 1:13:35
  Harmon. The only thing that would surprise the
• 1:13:41
  Dodgers on that. They didn't think that Wise
• 1:13:44
  could pull Singer quite that much. Here's Harmon,
• 1:13:48
  twice grounded to Will. Singer looking wise and
• 1:13:56
  not holding him on, and the pitch to Harmon is
• 1:13:57
  low. Ball one. On deck, Johnny Briggs. Callow
• 1:14:06
  walks the ball out to the mound to talk to Singer.
• 1:14:16
  One ball and no strikes for Terry Harmon. Now
• 1:14:27
  the 1 -0 pitch is lifted to right center field.
• 1:14:30
  Davis is there, backed up by Crawford. Will he
• 1:14:32
  make the catch? Wise holding. Johnny Briggs coming
• 1:14:38
  up. Say when it comes to winning, Union 76 Racing
• 1:14:41
  Gasoline has won more races in the West than
• 1:14:43
  any other brand. Royal 76 Premium is the street
• 1:14:46
  version of the same winning blend. Your chance
• 1:14:48
  to ride with a winner. Briggs left -hand batter
• 1:14:56
  waiting. Takes a breaking ball for a strike.
• 1:14:59
  0 -1. John straightened one out in the fourth
• 1:15:02
  inning in a line drive at Willie Crawford in
• 1:15:04
  right center. He hit the ball hard. And on deck,
• 1:15:09
  Richie Allen. A pitch outside. 1 -1 the count.
• 1:15:13
  Dodgers two. Phillies nothing. Two out in the
• 1:15:16
  sixth inning. Dodgers won last night's ballgame
• 1:15:18
  two to nothing. 1 -1 pitch. Fastball. Low. Ball
• 1:15:25
  two. Soon one. Chicago failed to score in the
• 1:15:33
  ninth, so Atlanta now at bat. It's last at bat.
• 1:15:36
  Trailing 8 -4. Briggs fouls the next one away,
• 1:15:39
  and they count two and two. They're in the bottom
• 1:15:53
  of the eighth inning at Houston. The Astros 2
• 1:15:56
  -2 with Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh has made a
• 1:15:58
  change. Houston, certainly not out of it, although
• 1:16:02
  they are starting today, trailing by four. 2
• 1:16:08
  -2 pitch to Briggs. Fastball popped in the air
• 1:16:10
  to shallow left. Wills out and looking for help,
• 1:16:12
  and he's got it. Moda and Manny will make the
• 1:16:14
  catch. No runs ahead a man left at the end of
• 1:16:20
  five and a half Dodgers to Phillies nothing Two
• 1:16:29
  runs four hits for the Dodgers no runs three
• 1:16:31
  hits for the Phillies And Maury Wilson started
• 1:16:36
  off he struck out and singled his base hit picked
• 1:16:38
  up the second Dodger run in the third inning
• 1:16:40
  Then he was thrown out stealing But Maury Wills
• 1:16:49
  starting it off. Wills hitting left -handed.
• 1:16:59
  Darren Johnson plays him in on the grass and
• 1:17:01
  close to the line at third. And the outfield
• 1:17:04
  shading him to left field. Wise reading Watkins'
• 1:17:09
  signs. Rick into the windup. And the first pitch
• 1:17:12
  to Maury Wills. He fakes a bunt, takes low. Ball
• 1:17:14
  one. 1 -0. Now the 1 -0 pitch on the way. Wills
• 1:17:29
  runs to bunt, but it's in on the hands. Ball
• 1:17:31
  two. Tommy Seaver has the Giants by the scruff
• 1:17:35
  of the neck. In the bottom of the seventh inning,
• 1:17:36
  the Mets leading the Giants 8 -0. And, of course,
• 1:17:40
  Clyde King will be very careful about burning
• 1:17:42
  up pitches in that first game with a second game
• 1:17:44
  due up. Here's the 2 -0 pitch on the way. Low
• 1:17:49
  ball three. The probable pitcher in the second
• 1:17:51
  game for the Giants is Don Bryant. Jim McAndrew
• 1:17:59
  figures to go for the Mets in the second game.
• 1:18:02
  3 -0 pitch to Wills. A strike. Green one. Allen,
• 1:18:07
  Callison, and Johnson when the Phillies come
• 1:18:09
  up in the seventh inning. So they're stirring
• 1:18:12
  around in the bullpen. The pitch to Wills. A
• 1:18:16
  strike. Down in the bullpen. Al Raffo gets up.
• 1:18:25
  And he's going to start the warm -up. Right -hander.
• 1:18:29
  3 -2 pitch to Maury Wills. Ground ball. Up the
• 1:18:33
  middle. Base hit. So Wills chimes in with his
• 1:18:38
  second hit. He's 2 for 3. And the batter will
• 1:18:41
  be Manny Moda. Here's Manny Mota. Hit back to
• 1:19:08
  the box and grounded to short. Mota around to
• 1:19:12
  Bond, takes a breaking ball outside. Ball one.
• 1:19:15
  Mota has not had a hot bat lately. In fact, against
• 1:19:18
  Philadelphia, he is 0 for 6. He is 0 for 10.
• 1:19:24
  He has not had a hit in a series. And over the
• 1:19:30
  last few days, let's see, he's 0 for 11. 12,
• 1:19:34
  13, 14, 15, 16. He tries to punt, but the pitch
• 1:19:39
  is over his head to the backstop. And down to
• 1:19:42
  second goes Wills and holds on. We'll see if
• 1:19:44
  it's a wild pitch or not. It's a fastball. Just
• 1:19:53
  to give you an idea of Mota, he has one hit in
• 1:19:55
  his last 20 at -bats. So many has fallen upon
• 1:19:58
  lean times. And in the Dodger dugout, his last
• 1:20:02
  at -bat in the third inning, trainer Bill Bulow
• 1:20:05
  is in the corner taking motion pictures of Moda.
• 1:20:08
  They'll be developed and studied to find out
• 1:20:10
  why the slump. Why one for 20. Al Raffo continues
• 1:20:15
  to throw back of pitcher Rick Wise. And Moda
• 1:20:20
  waiting. Now Manny will try to go away, of course,
• 1:20:23
  to get Wills at least to third. And Morrie dancing
• 1:20:26
  away, and Wise has to get off the bag. 2 -0 the
• 1:20:32
  count of Manny Moda. Final score, White Sox 7
• 1:20:36
  with 3 in the 9th, Cleveland 6. The 2 -0 pitch,
• 1:20:40
  a pushed bunt up along first base. Down to get
• 1:20:42
  it is Wise, throws Moda out, and on the sacrifice,
• 1:20:45
  will take third. So Manny in a slump, bunts his
• 1:20:49
  man over, and they'll leave it up to Willie Davis.
• 1:21:03
  In case you aren't Willis, Willie has done it.
• 1:21:05
  He grounded out in the first inning and hit a
• 1:21:08
  shot up the middle for a base hit in the fourth.
• 1:21:10
  So he sits safely in 28 straight. Infield up
• 1:21:19
  as Willie tries to pick up Wills now. The pitch
• 1:21:25
  to him is on the outside corner. Davis. If he
• 1:21:31
  gets Wills home, he'll have picked up his 50th
• 1:21:33
  run batted in. It's raining again in Atlanta,
• 1:21:38
  so time out down there. It's the sticky time
• 1:21:41
  of the year in August in Atlanta. Lots of humidity.
• 1:21:46
  0 -1 to Willie Davis. Wise set delivers. Willie
• 1:21:51
  hits a fly ball to center field. Not very far.
• 1:21:56
  Briggs for the catch. Wills is going to come
• 1:21:57
  anyway. The throw to the plate. He's going to
• 1:21:59
  make it. It was not a very good throw by Johnny
• 1:22:12
  Briggs. I'm sure he can make much better throws
• 1:22:15
  than that one. And Wills scores. Willie Davis
• 1:22:18
  picks up his 50th RBI. And the Dodgers lead 3
• 1:22:22
  -0. So the Dodgers have done it with a home run
• 1:22:28
  in the second inning. Sizemore doubled and Will
• 1:22:32
  singled him home in the third. And here in the
• 1:22:35
  sixth, the pass ball turns out to be the big
• 1:22:37
  play, just as a pass ball was the biggest single
• 1:22:40
  play last night. Gave the Dodgers a 2 -0 victory.
• 1:22:45
  Parker takes a strike. 0 -1 to counter West.
• 1:22:54
  Grounded a short and struck out 0 for 2. Tomorrow
• 1:23:04
  afternoon, the Dodgers and the Mets. The Mets
• 1:23:08
  who are just tearing up California teams. Here's
• 1:23:14
  the strike one pitch on the way. High. One and
• 1:23:17
  one. The Mets won. 16 out of 18 from California
• 1:23:22
  teams at Shea Stadium. And the Dodgers, who lost
• 1:23:26
  all six back there, feel they owe them a couple
• 1:23:28
  of lumps. The 1 -1 pitch to Parker outside. Ball
• 1:23:33
  two. Pitches, head back to the right of the mound.
• 1:23:50
  Down to get it is Wise, and he throws to first
• 1:23:52
  of the out. So one run, one hit, and the pass
• 1:24:01
  ball gives the Dodgers the run, and at the end
• 1:24:03
  of six, Dodgers leave till he's nothing. Hey,
• 1:24:06
  Stan Kenton, who do you look up to when you want
• 1:24:08
  to give a new tune your own personal style? I
• 1:24:10
  look to our Rangers. They know our approach and
• 1:24:13
  the way we look at things musically and can almost
• 1:24:14
  make any tune work. Hey, Stan Kenton. Who do
• 1:24:17
  you look up to when your car is out of tune?
• 1:24:19
  I look up to 76. The maestro of my Union 76 station
• 1:24:23
  and his band of certified servicemen have what
• 1:24:25
  it takes to make an engine sing. Look up to 76
• 1:24:42
  for products and services to keep your car in
• 1:24:45
  perfect tune. The people at Union 76 have even
• 1:24:48
  worked up an arrangement to help you pay your
• 1:24:49
  bill. It's called 76 Revolving Credit. That sounds
• 1:24:53
  like a helpful note. When you're looking for
• 1:24:55
  someone to look after you, you're up in 76. Through
• 1:25:08
  six innings, a Dodgers three runs, five hits
• 1:25:10
  and no errors. The Phillies, no runs, three hits
• 1:25:13
  and no errors. with Bill Singer just breezing
• 1:25:18
  along so far. In fact, he has faced two over
• 1:25:20
  the minimum. He's pitched only 20 batters in
• 1:25:22
  six innings while striking out five. So as they
• 1:25:26
  go to the seven, three -nothing Dodgers. For
• 1:25:28
  more play -by -play, here's Jerry. All right,
• 1:25:30
  Vinny, and here's Richie Allen at bat. Richie
• 1:25:31
  has struck out twice. He has struck out six consecutive
• 1:25:34
  times now. And Bill Singer ready to work for
• 1:25:38
  him. Richie Allen stepping in. It is 3 -0, and
• 1:25:45
  here's the pitcher on the way. Curve is in for
• 1:25:47
  a strike on the inside corner. Allen waiting,
• 1:25:55
  0 -1. Now the windup again on the pitch by Singer.
• 1:25:57
  Curve is in high. Ball one, 1 -1. The Dodgers
• 1:26:01
  leading 3 -0. They scored one at a time in the
• 1:26:03
  second, third, and sixth inning. Now it's a wind
• 1:26:10
  -up and a 1 -1 pitch on the way to Richie. A
• 1:26:12
  swing and a drive to center field. Willie Davis
• 1:26:14
  there, backs up and makes a leaping catch as
• 1:26:16
  the ball almost went over him. Willie had to
• 1:26:19
  retreat quickly on a line drive that was really
• 1:26:21
  knuckling out towards center field. He was in
• 1:26:25
  a step or two and then lunged backwards to handle
• 1:26:28
  it for the out. So a line drive out by Allen
• 1:26:30
  to center. He hit it hard. Here's Johnny Callison
• 1:26:34
  at bat. And we'll pause for station identification.
• 1:26:37
  This is the Los Angeles Dodgers radio network.
• 1:26:40
  You can charge your purchases and take many months
• 1:26:42
  to pay at Baptist Hospital of Phoenix, 6025 North
• 1:26:45
  20th Avenue, Phoenix, where you can use your
• 1:26:47
  Arizona Bank Bank AmeriCard. This is KTAR in
• 1:26:51
  Phoenix. Callison at bat has grounded out and
• 1:26:53
  flied out. And Singer now ready to work to him.
• 1:26:58
  The wind up in the pitch on the way. Breaking
• 1:27:00
  ball that's low. One ball and no strike. Still
• 1:27:03
  trying to get his 17th win. Has a free run lead
• 1:27:05
  now as he goes into the 7th inning. Raining again
• 1:27:09
  in Atlanta. Bottom of the 9th inning with the
• 1:27:10
  Braves coming to bat in an 8 -4 ball game. Here's
• 1:27:14
  the 1 -0 pitch. Callison grounds a foul off to
• 1:27:16
  the right. 1 -1. The Pirates make a pitching
• 1:27:25
  change in the 8th inning at Houston. Maroney
• 1:27:28
  under relief. Hartenstein. Pitch to Callison.
• 1:27:36
  A little high with the breaking ball. Two and
• 1:27:38
  one. The Giants and the Mets have played seven
• 1:27:43
  now, and the Mets still lead eight to nothing.
• 1:27:46
  Tom Seaver trying for his 19th, going all the
• 1:27:48
  way on that one. Here's a swing and a drive to
• 1:27:52
  left field. Well hit. Going in the corner for
• 1:27:53
  it is Manny Mota, and this ball is going to be
• 1:27:55
  up against the box seat railing and bounces back
• 1:27:57
  toward the infield. Callison is at second. Mota
• 1:28:00
  still chasing the ball. Callison goes into third
• 1:28:02
  base with a stand -up triple. The ball hit the
• 1:28:05
  box seat railing and must have rebounded 100
• 1:28:07
  feet away from Modoc. So Manny went to the railing
• 1:28:12
  for the ball and then had to retreat back into
• 1:28:16
  medium left field to pick it up. So a triple
• 1:28:19
  for Callison. So a three -base hit for Callison
• 1:28:30
  against the box feet railing in the left field
• 1:28:32
  corner as Callison goes the opposite way. And
• 1:28:35
  here is Darren Johnson at bat. He has strangled
• 1:28:37
  and struck out. Grounded foul at the plate. Strike
• 1:28:40
  one. Well, then he ran as far as he could right
• 1:28:45
  to the railing. Then the ball hit on the rail
• 1:28:47
  about four feet from him. Then it rebounded all
• 1:28:50
  the way back into left field. And he had to turn
• 1:28:53
  around and go back just as hard as he had gone
• 1:28:54
  to the railing. He was all alone on the play.
• 1:29:00
  One strike. Johnson waiting. The infield back.
• 1:29:02
  Dodgers lead by three. They'll go for the out
• 1:29:04
  and give up a run. Singer, of course, would like
• 1:29:07
  to get the shutout, but he's worrying about winning
• 1:29:10
  the ball game more important. Here's the windup
• 1:29:12
  and the pitch to Johnson. Swung on and missed.
• 1:29:15
  Strike two. Singer has struck out five, has not
• 1:29:17
  walked a batter. The bill ahead of the count.
• 1:29:29
  Now the pitch on the way. Johnson's the ground
• 1:29:31
  ball to the right side. Parker up with it. Will
• 1:29:33
  throw to first base. The singer coming as the
• 1:29:35
  run scores. So Johnson grounds out as Callison
• 1:29:40
  comes in with the first Philadelphia run. And
• 1:29:43
  here's Ron Stone coming up. He has singled and
• 1:29:47
  grounded into a double play. So a triple by Johnny
• 1:29:51
  Callison and a ground out by Johnson to get the
• 1:29:54
  run in. Stone. hitting .242. They're playing
• 1:30:00
  again in Atlanta. And Regan is pitching now for
• 1:30:06
  Chicago. So they just hold from the start. Abernathy,
• 1:30:09
  Aguirre, and now Regan. Here's the ground ball
• 1:30:12
  to Wills. It's sort of first in time, and the
• 1:30:14
  inning is over. The Phillies show one run on
• 1:30:16
  one hit, and none left. The score at the end
• 1:30:20
  of six of the happenings, Dodgers 3, Philadelphia
• 1:30:22
  1. Well, we're celebrating baseball's 100th anniversary
• 1:30:26
  this year, as you've probably heard. And there's
• 1:30:29
  another little celebration going on, too. The
• 1:30:31
  Burgermeister Brewery's 101st anniversary. 101
• 1:30:35
  years ago, right there where it is today at Tencent
• 1:30:38
  Bryant in San Francisco, the first brewery that
• 1:30:40
  makes the comfortable beer opened its doors.
• 1:30:42
  By way of congratulations, you might lift a glass
• 1:30:45
  of that soft water brew and say, Burgie, you
• 1:30:47
  old son of a gun, happy 101, and have a good
• 1:30:50
  day. It's the comfortable time of year. Now the
• 1:31:23
  last of the seventh inning. Good crowd. to the
• 1:31:53
  seventh inning. Good crowd on hand today, standing
• 1:31:55
  for the seventh inning stretch with Crawford,
• 1:31:57
  Sudeikis, and Haller. They'll appear against
• 1:32:00
  right -hander Rick Wise. Wise and Singer locked
• 1:32:02
  up in a ballgame today, and it's 3 -1 the Dodgers
• 1:32:05
  lead, scoring one at a time in the second, third,
• 1:32:08
  and sixth inning, with Philadelphia getting a
• 1:32:10
  run in the seventh. They're playing again in
• 1:32:13
  Atlanta, the rain of seats, as we told you, and
• 1:32:16
  Regan now will try to retire the Braves and get
• 1:32:18
  the Cubs a win in Atlanta. The Cubs move to Cincinnati
• 1:32:24
  tomorrow. Here's Willie Crawford at bat. The
• 1:32:36
  Cubs and the Reds have a suspended game to complete.
• 1:32:38
  They played seven innings in the game earlier,
• 1:32:40
  and they had to call it because of a curfew.
• 1:32:44
  Crawford fouls one away and it's strike one.
• 1:32:46
  And in that game, the Cubs are leading 5 -4.
• 1:32:49
  They will finish that game on Tuesday. So the
• 1:32:53
  Reds are one run down with a couple innings to
• 1:32:55
  go against the Cubs at home. And that game has
• 1:32:58
  not, of course, been put into the standings as
• 1:33:00
  yet. Here's the pitch on the way. Inside low
• 1:33:07
  for a ball, one and one. If the Cubs win that
• 1:33:10
  game, then the Reds actually would have their
• 1:33:13
  58th loss as of now. They have 57, and the Giants
• 1:33:17
  and the Dodgers each have 58. So they'd be all
• 1:33:19
  even on that loss side. The 1 -1 pitch. Outside.
• 1:33:23
  Ball two. Two and one. Of course, they will not
• 1:33:24
  put that in the standings until Wednesday morning.
• 1:33:28
  So it does not come up until Tuesday night. Houston
• 1:33:30
  scored twice in the eighth and now leads Pittsburgh
• 1:33:32
  four to two. Going to the ninth. Two -one pitch
• 1:33:36
  to Crawford. Pop to the short center field. Waiting
• 1:33:39
  for it. It's Briggs and makes the catch for the
• 1:33:42
  out. Crawford lost his bat on that one. Fly ball
• 1:33:45
  to center. One down and the batter will be Bill
• 1:33:47
  Sudeikis. Bill back in the lineup after about
• 1:33:49
  ten days off with illness. Has grounded out and
• 1:33:53
  struck out batting 241. 13 homers and 50 runs
• 1:33:56
  batted in. Well, Chicago beat Atlanta 8 -4 as
• 1:34:09
  Regan got them out in the ninth inning. So Chicago
• 1:34:12
  wins that one and Atlanta losing in a wild one
• 1:34:17
  in Georgia. Now the pitch to Sudeikis. Inside
• 1:34:20
  for a ball. One ball and no strike. Before today
• 1:34:23
  started, the Dodgers were a half a game ahead
• 1:34:26
  of Atlanta. And now they're trying to pick up
• 1:34:29
  another full game on the Atlanta team. Pitch,
• 1:34:34
  slow ball, two. Two and oh. Two nothing count.
• 1:34:47
  Wise delivers to Sudeikis, a bouncing ball to
• 1:34:49
  the right side of the mound. Wise up with it,
• 1:34:51
  underhand toss to Allen, and in time, two outs.
• 1:34:53
  Sudeikis bouncing out, pitch to the first. Post
• 1:34:56
  from the winner, he is now 16 -8, and Nico, they
• 1:35:00
  lose their 18 -12. They have 33 ,000 in Atlanta
• 1:35:04
  today. Into the ninth inning, New York leads
• 1:35:07
  San Francisco 8 -0. Al Oliver, home run for the
• 1:35:15
  Pirates in the ninth. That leaves them one run
• 1:35:17
  shy. Houston leading 4 -3 playing in the ninth.
• 1:35:22
  Here's Howler. 0 -2. Wise ready to pitch. Line
• 1:35:26
  foul off third base and down to the lower stand.
• 1:35:28
  Strike one to Tom Howler. Tommy Seaver on the
• 1:35:40
  way to his 19th, and he would be first in the
• 1:35:42
  league to reach 19 as Necro has failed today.
• 1:35:46
  Haller hits a liner into left field near the
• 1:35:48
  line. Coming on to Stone, makes a sliding catch
• 1:35:50
  for the odd. Nice play. Stone, who carries the
• 1:35:54
  glove on the right hand as he throws left, came
• 1:35:56
  skidding along to catch that ball and take a
• 1:35:59
  base hit away from Haller. Side out on the seventh,
• 1:36:02
  and the score at the end of seven innings of
• 1:36:05
  play, the Dodgers three and Philadelphia one.
• 1:36:09
  For friends in his own way, Farmer John's a lot
• 1:36:11
  like a good switch hitter. Batting on the meat
• 1:36:13
  department side of your market, he's sure to
• 1:36:15
  make a hit with his Farmer John ham, bacon, sausage,
• 1:36:18
  and fresh pork. And when he moves over to the
• 1:36:21
  delicatessen side, he's just as much at home.
• 1:36:23
  There you'll find Farmer John's plump, juicy,
• 1:36:26
  all -meat wieners. And his fresher -than -fresh
• 1:36:28
  Farmer John luncheon meat. Farmer John luncheon
• 1:36:31
  meats are the finest you can buy. Made with fresh
• 1:36:33
  eastern corn -fed pork and fresh, lean, juicy,
• 1:36:36
  homegrown beef. And Farmer John uses only natural
• 1:36:39
  herbs and spices, never any artificial flavorings
• 1:36:42
  or seasonings. There's a wide variety of Farmer
• 1:36:45
  John luncheon meats, including Farmer John all
• 1:36:47
  -meat bologna, Farmer John sliced pork ham, liverwurst,
• 1:36:50
  salami, and more. All your favorites and all
• 1:36:53
  strictly fresh. And all gold medal winners at
• 1:36:56
  the California State Fair. So look for Farmer
• 1:36:59
  John luncheon meats in the delicatessen section
• 1:37:01
  of your market. And if you don't see them, don't
• 1:37:04
  be shy. Ask for them all together. Farmer John.
• 1:37:11
  First seven innings, the Dodgers leading three
• 1:37:13
  runs, five hits, no errors. The Phillies one
• 1:37:15
  run, four hits, no errors. Bill Singer against
• 1:37:17
  Rick Wise. And the Phillies come to bat now in
• 1:37:19
  the eighth inning. Singer warming up with catcher
• 1:37:23
  Tommy Haller. Let's go back to the action. And
• 1:37:24
  here's Finn. All right, Jerry. Eighth inning,
• 1:37:27
  three to one, Dodgers. We'll have Larry Heisel.
• 1:37:35
  Heisel will come up and bat for catcher Dave
• 1:37:38
  Watkins with Rojas on deck. The Phillies trying
• 1:37:43
  to make a move here in the eighth inning, and
• 1:37:44
  Bill Singer ready and delivers. And a fastball,
• 1:37:46
  a strike to Heisel, 0 -1. Larry is Philadelphia's
• 1:37:50
  nominee for candidate of the year. Heisel hitting
• 1:37:54
  .266, has 20 home runs, 56 runs batted in. Strike
• 1:37:59
  one pitch, inside, 1 -1. Heisel has a lot of
• 1:38:02
  power. But as a rookie, he pays for it. He strikes
• 1:38:05
  out a great deal. It is conceivable that Heisel
• 1:38:10
  could break the strikeout record. He takes low
• 1:38:14
  ball, too. He has played in 125 games. He has
• 1:38:19
  struck out 143 times. 2 -1 pitch to Heisel. Swung
• 1:38:27
  on and missed. Strike two. 2 -2. Paid attendance
• 1:38:33
  19 ,357. 19 ,357. Sure hope you'll spend Labor
• 1:38:39
  Day with us. The Mets will be here. Pitch filed
• 1:38:42
  away by Heisel. Here's a two -two pitch to Heisel.
• 1:39:02
  Breaking ball got him looking. Now that's 144
• 1:39:05
  times the young fella has gone down on strike.
• 1:39:09
  That'll bring up Cookie Rojas. Another fella
• 1:39:13
  who has struck out a great deal. We don't have
• 1:39:15
  the numbers handy, but he's right around Heisel.
• 1:39:17
  In fact, he might have struck out even more than
• 1:39:19
  Heisel. He's a great kid player with the Giants,
• 1:39:22
  Bobby Barnes. He strikes out a lot. Sookie Rojas
• 1:39:29
  takes the strike. Going one. On deck is Mike
• 1:39:32
  Ryan, who will bat for Wise. One out on the eighth.
• 1:39:40
  Three to one Dodgers. Singers breaking ball state
• 1:39:42
  inside. One and one. Here's the 1 -1 pitch on
• 1:39:56
  the way. Line drive off Singer's glove, and he
• 1:39:59
  deflected it back towards the third base foul
• 1:40:01
  line. Throws it through Parker, but it's backed
• 1:40:04
  up by Willie Crawford. Boy, was that thing hit
• 1:40:07
  like a shot, and it was like hitting a line drive
• 1:40:10
  into a revolving door. It went in, spun Singer
• 1:40:13
  around, and came flying out of his glove back
• 1:40:16
  towards the third base foul line. So that is
• 1:40:19
  indeed a hit. For Cookie Ross, he almost took
• 1:40:23
  the webbing right out of Singer's glove. So the
• 1:40:31
  batter will be not Mike Ryan because Ryan, as
• 1:40:34
  soon as there's somebody on base, there's a chance
• 1:40:36
  to hit him to a double play. So they switch and
• 1:40:39
  now bring up Rick Joseph. And Ryan has not yet
• 1:40:42
  been in the game. So make it Rick Joseph hitting.
• 1:40:49
  Ryan can still be used later on if necessary.
• 1:40:54
  Ray Lamb and Pete Mickelson moving around in
• 1:40:56
  the Dodger bullpen. One out on the eighth, three
• 1:40:59
  to one Dodgers. There's still a lot of baseball
• 1:41:02
  left in this one. Joseph right -hand batter hits
• 1:41:06
  the first one foul off first back into the crowd
• 1:41:09
  on one. They have almost 25 ,000 in the park
• 1:41:16
  today. with 19 -3, 57 pays. The next one is low.
• 1:41:27
  One ball, one strike. One and one to Rick Joseph.
• 1:41:39
  Kerry Harmon, the shortstop on deck. Singers,
• 1:41:44
  one -one pitch. Joseph takes in the third ball,
• 1:41:46
  too. One -one. I think the first time the Dodgers
• 1:41:48
  ever saw Rick Joseph was in Philadelphia. He
• 1:41:52
  came up as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded
• 1:41:53
  against Ron Paranoski and hit a grand slam home
• 1:41:56
  run, so they marked him well. He's hitting .283.
• 1:42:07
  Joseph waiting. The 2 -1 pitch way inside. Ball
• 1:42:11
  three. 3 -1. So Singer... Struck out of high
• 1:42:17
  school. Got Rojas a smash off Singer's glove
• 1:42:22
  for a base hit, and he's fallen behind to Rick
• 1:42:25
  Joseph, 3 -1. Terry Harmon on deck. 3 -1 pitch.
• 1:42:30
  Swung on and missed, strike two. He might have
• 1:42:33
  chased ball four. It was a questionable pitch.
• 1:42:38
  3 -2. Big pitch for Singer. He certainly doesn't
• 1:42:45
  want to put the tying runs aboard. And he comes
• 1:42:47
  3 -2. The runner goes. Swung on and missed. Throw
• 1:42:50
  down to Sizemore. They double up Rojas. So the
• 1:43:01
  double play, K -2 -4. Bill Singer gets his seventh
• 1:43:06
  strikeout for the Phillies and the A's. No runs
• 1:43:08
  are hit. Nobody left. And at the end of seven
• 1:43:10
  and a half. Dodgers 3, Phillies 1. Camp West
• 1:43:14

  that's... Camp West Industries, 2802 Grand Avenue
• 1:44:11
  in Phoenix. Bottom of the eighth inning, the
• 1:44:19
  Dodgers 3, the Phillies 1. It's all over at candlestick
• 1:44:23
  as the Mets beat the Giants 8 -0. That's the
• 1:44:27
  first of two games. Jim McAndrew and Don Bryant,
• 1:44:31
  the probables in the second game. And remember,
• 1:44:33
  the Mets will be here tomorrow afternoon. Jim
• 1:44:35
  Bunning will draw. Jerry Kuzman is his opposite
• 1:44:39
  number. Mike Ryan is the new catcher. And Al
• 1:44:44
  Raffo is the new pitcher. The pitcher is batting
• 1:44:50
  seventh. And the catcher batting ninth. So Ryan
• 1:44:55
  hits ninth. And Raffo hits seventh. Rick Wise
• 1:45:17
  went seven innings, allowed three runs and five
• 1:45:19
  hits. He walked only one, struck out three, and
• 1:45:26
  he leaves trailing. Here's Sizemore. Takes Raffo's
• 1:45:29
  first pitch and is missing. Ball one. 1 -0. Sizemore
• 1:45:35
  has doubled and walked. Raffo comes back with
• 1:45:39
  a pitch outside. Rappel pitches like an extension
• 1:45:45
  ladder. He starts to deliver and deliver and
• 1:45:48
  still deliver before he finally gets there. He's
• 1:45:50
  a big fella. The 2 -0 pitch. Low ball three.
• 1:46:05
  So Sizemore, who's been on base seven out of
• 1:46:07
  nine times in this series, trying to make it
• 1:46:10
  eight out of ten. Phillies have been unable to
• 1:46:12
  keep more of the base pass. The 3 -0 pitch is
• 1:46:18
  high. He's on again. Eight out of ten. Teddy
• 1:46:20
  has gotten to first base. He has really been
• 1:46:23
  a thorn in the side of the Phillies. And Bill
• 1:46:25
  Singer coming up. Bill Singer. Bill Singer. Has
• 1:46:37
  allowed one run, five hits. Gets a well -deserved
• 1:46:40
  round of applause. Singer. Got a little ground
• 1:46:45
  ball by Richie Allen. He got his man over to
• 1:46:48
  third. And then struck out in the fifth inning.
• 1:46:51
  He's over two. Raffle off the rubber. There's
• 1:47:01
  a bunt to Raffo. The right -hander throws down
• 1:47:04
  to Harmon for one. Back to Rojas. Double play.
• 1:47:07
  So the double play goes 1 -6 -4. Raffo to Harmon
• 1:47:12
  to Rojas. Just like that, two out in the eighth
• 1:47:15
  inning. Raffo talking to Harmon, and Maury Wills
• 1:47:27
  consuming a little time. Allowing Singer to get
• 1:47:30
  back to the dugout. Al Rappo was born in San
• 1:47:42
  Francisco. He's 6 '5", 210 pounders. He attended
• 1:47:47
  LA City College. He graduated from Los Angeles
• 1:47:53
  High. Al Rappo. Line drive, base hit, and Willis
• 1:47:58
  is three for four. So Morris struck out his first
• 1:48:04
  at bat, and he has consecutive singles since
• 1:48:06
  then. That'll bring up Manny Moda. In case you
• 1:48:10
  have not been with us until just a moment or
• 1:48:12
  so ago, Willie Davis singled up the middle in
• 1:48:15
  the fourth inning. So he has hit safely in 28
• 1:48:18
  consecutive games. So tomorrow, Willie will be
• 1:48:22
  going after the all -time Dodger record. That's
• 1:48:24
  just one bit of spice to what should be a great
• 1:48:27
  Labor Day afternoon here. The Dodgers and the
• 1:48:29
  Mets. Jim Bunning and Jerry Kuzma. The pitch
• 1:48:36
  to Mota. Low and inside, ball one. Mota fighting
• 1:48:42
  a slump. Bill Buehler is taking more pictures
• 1:48:45
  of Manny right now from the far corner of the
• 1:48:48
  Dodger dugout. and they'll study and see what's
• 1:48:51
  brought it about. He's one for 20. Throw to first,
• 1:48:55
  Wills back to the bag. Boy, it is so tough in
• 1:49:00
  the big leagues. One little thing can wreck everything.
• 1:49:04
  And the Dodgers will try and take Moda's swing
• 1:49:06
  apart and figure out just what. Raffo is watching
• 1:49:10
  Wills at first base. 3 -1 Dodgers, bottom of
• 1:49:13
  the eighth. It's getting to be standing room
• 1:49:17
  only again in the Wild West. Wills goes. The
• 1:49:20
  pitch swung on and missed. The throw down. He's
• 1:49:23
  in there. And he actually kicked the ball away
• 1:49:26
  from Terry Harmon who tried to whirl and tag.
• 1:49:33
  So Maury who had a streak of nine consecutive
• 1:49:36
  steals and it was snapped in the third inning
• 1:49:39
  starts the news. It also means he has stolen
• 1:49:42
  nine bases in his last seven games. So Maury
• 1:49:47
  is running at just the right time. He's stolen
• 1:49:50
  20 bases as a Dodger, 36 for the year. Here's
• 1:49:55
  the 1 -1 pitch, and instead Rappel backs off
• 1:49:57
  the rubber. The next one to Motive, missing ball
• 1:50:07
  two, 2 -1. Houston leading 4 -2, going into the
• 1:50:13
  ninth inning. And Al Oliver hit a home run in
• 1:50:16
  the ninth. And the Pirates are still at bat.
• 1:50:20
  So Houston is hurting in the ninth inning. Blazing
• 1:50:25
  Game and Billingham have both come in. Raffo
• 1:50:28
  delivers. Motor takes low and inside ball two.
• 1:50:32
  Gladding also came in after the home run, we
• 1:50:34
  believe. The Masters start at the ninth. Gladding,
• 1:50:42
  Blasingame, and Billingham. So Houston struggling.
• 1:50:45
  3 -1 the count. So Atlanta lost. The Giants lost.
• 1:50:50
  But Cincinnati won. The pitch. A one -hopper
• 1:50:54
  banged into right field for a hit. Well coming.
• 1:50:57
  Callison's throw is cut off by Allen. Ritchie
• 1:51:00
  running after Moda now. Gives to Terry Harmon.
• 1:51:04
  Harmon running Moda to Rojas. And Cookie tags
• 1:51:07
  him out. So it's 9 -3 -6 -4 if you're scoring,
• 1:51:11
  but the run is over. One run, two hits, nobody
• 1:51:17
  left. And at the end of eight, Dodgers 4, Phillies
• 1:51:20
  1. Hey, Mickey Rooney, who do you look up to
• 1:51:27
  when... Look up to? I look up to everybody. No,
• 1:51:31
  no. I mean, who do you look up to when you're
• 1:51:34
  looking for a motor oil that's made for your
• 1:51:35
  high -powered car? Oh, that's entirely different.
• 1:51:39
  You see, in that case, I look up to 76. You see,
• 1:51:41
  they got this new Union Super Motor Oil. It sort
• 1:51:44
  of looks down its nose at engine trouble. And
• 1:51:46
  it keeps all my cars running like cats. Union
• 1:51:54
  Super Motor Oil is new. Made for today's cars,
• 1:52:07
  the ones that run hotter and harder than ever.
• 1:52:10
  Yesterday's motor oils aren't making it, so Union
• 1:52:12
  Super is tougher than it has to be. For a minute
• 1:52:15
  there, I thought you were trying to make trouble.
• 1:52:17
  When you're looking for someone to listen to
• 1:52:20
  you, you're up in the air. Now let's force the
• 1:52:25
  station identification. This is the Los Angeles
• 1:52:27
  Dodgers Radio Network. Quiet rooms and a tasteful
• 1:52:30
  atmosphere, and you can make advanced reservations
• 1:52:32
  at reasonable rates at the Coconut Grove Motel,
• 1:52:34
  2012 West Van Buren, Phoenix, where you can use
• 1:52:36
  your Arizona Bank Bank AmeriCard. This is KTRI,
• 1:52:39
  Phoenix. 9th inning, 4 -1 Dodgers as they bid
• 1:52:49
  to sweep Philadelphia and then prepare for the
• 1:52:52
  Mets. Gee, that sounds strange, doesn't it? For
• 1:52:57
  so many years, you'd talk about, well, a battle
• 1:52:59
  with the Phil's and then hope to get rich with
• 1:53:01
  the Mets. But not anymore. Terry Harmon takes
• 1:53:05
  a strike. The Mets ripped up the Giants 8 -0
• 1:53:08
  in the first game today. They still have another
• 1:53:12
  to go at Candlestick. Here's the strike one pitch
• 1:53:15
  to Harmon. A ground ball speared by Sudeikis.
• 1:53:18
  Phil throws him out. One out in the ninth inning.
• 1:53:25
  Johnny Briggs, the batter, and Richie Allen on
• 1:53:28
  deck. Johnny Briggs has popped up, lined out,
• 1:53:37
  and flied out. He's 0 -3. Bill Singer, good hard
• 1:53:42
  stuff. He has struck out seven today. Bill delivers,
• 1:53:46
  fastball away, ball one. He's had a particularly
• 1:53:48
  hard breaking ball. 1 -0. The next one to break
• 1:53:58
  the strike. The New York Mets, who will be here
• 1:54:05
  tomorrow, enjoyed the best month of August of
• 1:54:09
  anybody in the National League. The 1 -1 pitch
• 1:54:11
  is grounded foul into the Philly dugout in the
• 1:54:14
  count 1 and 2. As of the moment, counting the
• 1:54:16
  victory in the first game, the Mets won 21 out
• 1:54:20
  of 30 in August, and they still have a second
• 1:54:22
  game to go. They have played great ball and they're
• 1:54:26
  here for three starting at 1 p .m. tomorrow.
• 1:54:33
  One and two to Johnny Briggs. Singer into the
• 1:54:38
  windup and the one -two pitch outside ball two.
• 1:54:41
  Two and two. Singer trying to win his 17th. Osteen
• 1:54:48
  won his 18th. Bunning will try and win his 12th
• 1:54:51
  tomorrow. Here's the 2 -2 pitch. Outside with
• 1:54:56
  a fastball. Ball free. Thing popped out of Haller's
• 1:54:59
  mitt, rolled over his shoulder, and went right
• 1:55:02
  behind the umpire. 3 -2. 3 -2 pitch. Fastball
• 1:55:16
  line drive inside the right field foul line and
• 1:55:19
  down the line. Briggs hits the bag and moves
• 1:55:22
  on to second base with a line drive double. So
• 1:55:26
  a one -out double by Johnny Briggs, and that
• 1:55:29
  will bring up Richie Allen. struck out the first
• 1:55:49
  two at -bats. That gave him six consecutive strikeouts,
• 1:55:52
  but in the seventh inning, he lined out to Willie
• 1:55:54
  Davis. He takes inside, ball one. By the way,
• 1:55:59
  we told you the Pirates were giving Houston a
• 1:56:01
  bad time, and they sure were. It was 4 -2 Houston
• 1:56:03
  going into the ninth, and Pittsburgh came up
• 1:56:05
  with four. So the Pirates are leading Houston
• 1:56:09
  6 -4, and the Astros now come to bat in the bottom
• 1:56:12
  of the ninth against Steve Blass. 4 -1 Dodgers.
• 1:56:20
  One out. The pitch to Allen. Fouled away. Upstairs
• 1:56:23
  off to the right. 1 -1. Johnny Briggs away from
• 1:56:36
  second base. Allen closed stands. Waiting. 1
• 1:56:45
  -1 pitch. Sidearm curve low. Ball two. 2 -1.
• 1:56:52
  Richly overly closed, kind of peeps out from
• 1:56:54
  around his left shoulder. Singer's fastball is
• 1:57:02
  inside and high ball three. On deck, the fine
• 1:57:07
  hitting Johnny Callison, who represents the tying
• 1:57:10
  run. So Singer might be tiring. And the Dodgers
• 1:57:14
  watching him carefully. 3 -1 pitch to Allen.
• 1:57:19
  On the hands, foul back as he tried to get out
• 1:57:22
  of the way of it. Richie was not swinging. It
• 1:57:24
  hit the bat and Haller out to talk to Singer.
• 1:57:26
  Pete Mickelson and Ray Lamb were down in the
• 1:57:33
  Dodger bullpen. 3 -2 to Rich. Haller behind the
• 1:57:48
  plate. Singer's 3 -2 pitch on the way. Ground
• 1:57:55
  ball to Will. Big hop. Morey stays with it. Throws
• 1:57:58
  him out. Big holding a second. Nice play by Will.
• 1:58:02
  That thing almost kangarooed over his head. He
• 1:58:05
  went down to get it, and suddenly he caught it
• 1:58:07
  off the bill of the hat. Here's Johnny Callison.
• 1:58:15
  Callison flied to center, grounded out, and tripled
• 1:58:18
  to left when his drive struck them. Box seat
• 1:58:21
  railing and Karam back towards left center field.
• 1:58:29
  Darren Johnson on deck. Pass ball high. Ball
• 1:58:33
  one. Looked like Singer was forcing himself a
• 1:58:35
  little bit on that pitch. As if he was trying
• 1:58:37
  to rear back and get a little extra. So he decides
• 1:58:40
  to take a breather for the moment. One and all
• 1:58:45
  to count. Singer looks at Briggs. Bill to the
• 1:58:53
  plate. Callison hits a high fly ball into center
• 1:58:56
  field. Davis fighting a glare. There's not a
• 1:58:58
  cloud up there, and he makes the catch for the
• 1:59:01
  out. No run to hit a man left, and it's all over
• 1:59:07
  as the Dodgers and Bill Singer beat Philadelphia
• 1:59:10
  4 -1. We'll have the totals, the winning and
• 1:59:13
  losing pictures, right after this message. You
• 1:59:16
  know, ever since man crawled out of his cave,
• 1:59:18
  I guess he's been trying to forecast the future
• 1:59:20
  of medicine men and star -charged crystal balls
• 1:59:23
  and gypsy fortune tellers. A lot of people still
• 1:59:25
  use those methods, along with weather forecasts
• 1:59:27
  and space satellites, market predictions from
• 1:59:30
  computers, political forecasts from poll takers,
• 1:59:33
  and still, you just can't always tell what's
• 1:59:35
  coming up. A lot of times you get fooled. Ah,
• 1:59:37
  but take heart, though. I know one small, very
• 1:59:40
  comfortable pleasure you can predict every time.
• 1:59:43
  That's the comfortable taste of Burgermeister
• 1:59:45
  beer. You see that blue, white, and gold label?
• 1:59:47
  Pop off the cap, watch that sparkling amber blue
• 1:59:50
  fill a glass. It's clear, bright, and capped
• 1:59:53
  by a snow -white head. If it's Bergie, it's going
• 1:59:56
  to roll over your tongue so smooth, so cold and
• 1:59:58
  refreshing, the only word that really describes
• 2:00:00
  it is comfortable, comfortable beer. Even though
• 2:00:02
  we still have trouble forecasting the major events,
• 2:00:05
  when it comes to light, small pleasures, I want
• 2:00:07
  you to know exactly what's in store. So pick
• 2:00:10
  up some Bergie, and you'll never go wrong. Boogie's
• 2:00:13
  a comfortable kind of beer. Checking the scores
• 2:00:19
  for the Dodgers, four runs, seven hits, and no
• 2:00:21
  errors. The Phillies, one run, six hits, and
• 2:00:24
  no errors. Bill Singer all the way. He's now
• 2:00:27
  17 -8, 2 -1 with the Phillies, 4 -2 lifetime.
• 2:00:31
  Rick Wise, the loser, is 11 -11. The Dodgers
• 2:00:34
  have now concluded their year's work with the
• 2:00:37
  Phillies, and they won eight out of 12 from Philadelphia,
• 2:00:39
  four of the six. played here at Dodger Stadium.
• 2:00:42
  The Western Division of the National League is
• 2:00:45
  still very much up in the air. One of the big
• 2:00:48
  reasons being the Giants, the front -running
• 2:00:50
  ball club, still has a second game to go. But
• 2:00:53
  the best the Giants could do would be to win
• 2:00:56
  their second game and the Dodgers would then
• 2:00:58
  still pick up a half a game and be a half a game
• 2:01:00
  out. Cincinnati has already won their game. So
• 2:01:04
  technically... The Reds are tied with the Giants
• 2:01:07
  as of the moment, depending upon the outcome
• 2:01:09
  of the second game. So it is still a mess, and
• 2:01:11
  it's going to be a wild one right down to the
• 2:01:13
  wire for sure. Bill Singer will be our guest
• 2:01:17
  on the postgame show, and don't forget, those
• 2:01:19
  Mets will be in here tomorrow. Jerry Kuzman and
• 2:01:22
  Jim Bunnings will spend Labor Day with us, a
• 2:01:24
  1 o 'clock ballgame, the Dodgers and the New
• 2:01:27
  York Mets, and we get underway on the air at
• 2:01:29
  1240. Once again, the final score of the day,
• 2:01:31
  the Dodgers 4 and the Phillies 1. Now this is
• 2:01:35
  Ben Scully along with Jerry Doggett inviting
• 2:01:37
  you to stay tuned for the fourth game show coming
• 2:01:39
  right up.
