  The Cincinnati Reds faced the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium for a Friday night
• 0:10
  game on June 11, 1982. The Reds entered this game in the cellar of the NL West, something
• 0:16
  they hadn't experienced in over a decade, having won the division in six of the past
• 0:20
  ten years and finished in second place in three others. They were managed by John McNamara,
• 0:25
  who had taken over the team in 1979 after the firing of Sparky Anderson. Los Angeles
• 0:30
  was the defending world champions and were managed by Tommy LaSorda in his sixth year
• 0:33
  as skipper, but they were off to a slow start in 1982 with a 27-31 record coming into this
• 0:39
  game. This audio recording is from the Los Angeles Radio broadcast featuring announcers
• 0:43
  Vince Scully and Ross Porter.
• 2:13
  The Dodgers having lost four straight and their home record, and of course you think
• 2:19
  he's going to have some problems on the road, the Dodgers are six games under 500 on the
• 2:24
  road. But the big shock is they're not doing well at home either. They're only two games
• 2:28
  over 500 here at Dodger Stadium. So put it all together and they're struggling. The Dodgers
• 2:33
  start tonight eight games behind Atlanta. There is Ron Oster, Oster batting right-handed.
• 2:40
  And Royce out of his stretch, a look at second, comes to the plate of front. Out to get it
• 2:46
  is Sochette, picks it up, fires to Garvey in time as Say comes all the way down the line
• 2:51
  to cover home plate. So Oster sacrifices, Milner going to third, and the battle will
• 2:58
  be Davey Concepcion with a 12-game hitting streak. In fact, Concepcion during the streak
• 3:05
  is hitting 360. So with one out, Concepcion coming out, hitting 306 for the year with
• 3:12
  25 runs batted in. Davey has three scoring fly balls, and the Reds would settle for that
• 3:23
  right now. The Dodger infield plays back, and Royce going after Concepcion. Jerry Reddy
• 3:30
  delivers a high chopper over the mound. The run will score, bare-handed by Russell who
• 3:34
  throws to Garvey for the out. Good play by Phil, but in comes Milner, and just like that,
• 3:40
  the Reds have to drop on the Dodgers, one to nothing. So Concepcion picks up a run batted
• 3:48
  in, Milner carries it over, and the battle will be Dan Dreeson. One of many things the
• 3:55
  Dodgers are not doing is coming from behind. That has been just one of many bleak moments
• 4:03
  for them, and the Dodgers at home this year have not been able to pull one out in the
• 4:09
  eighth or ninth inning. And here now, they've given up a run in the first inning, and with
• 4:14
  two down, Dan Dreeson up, and he takes a curve ball and a dirt ball, one and oh. Dan Dreeson,
• 4:19
  who has picked up over a thousand hits in his career, batting 318, having a big year
• 4:25
  with the bat. He punches one on the ground to say, Ron Gloves it, straightens up and
• 4:29
  gets him in the run at home because of the double. And at the end of half an inning,
• 4:34
  Reds 1, Dodgers coming up. We'll get to baseball rundowns in a few moments. Let's talk more
• 4:39
  about this Holmes Cooney fight coming up. We had that preview a while ago from Las Vegas.
• 4:45
  Larry Holmes, WBC heavyweight champ, says the fight is special.
• 4:49
  One thing, this is a different type fight than it was when we won the title. This is
• 4:55
  a fight that my kids have to live with for the rest of their lives, for my brothers,
• 5:02
  for my family. That's why this fight is so important to me. I'm fighting this fight
• 5:06
  for my family, for my people, for everybody who stands for what's right.
• 5:11
  And Holmes was asked, what's your fight strategy?
• 5:14
  No strategy. I'm a boxer. I'm 5 to 5. Left jab, left jab. 70, 80, punch it around. Count
• 5:21
  it. You can't take it. Not that many. 70, 80, punch it around. Just take 70. You'll
• 5:28
  be taking away a little away from me. 70 punches around. 50 on land. You can't take that.
• 5:35
  The Reds and Dodgers pose at the current home stand with games tomorrow night and Sunday
• 5:43
  afternoon. Tomorrow night it will be Bob Welch pitching for the Dodgers and Greg Harris
• 5:47
  for the Reds. And Sunday afternoon, Bert Horton will go against Cincinnati's Bruce Bruny.
• 5:52
  General emission seats on a guaranteed seat basis, available for both games at the Dodgers
• 5:56
  and the Reds ticket office, 1750 Stadium Wave, and at all tickets on in mutual office.
• 6:01
  Come out and be with us. The Dodgers and the Reds tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon.
• 6:12
  The bottom of the first inning, the Reds have a run. We'll set them defensively with Frank
• 6:17
  Pastore on the mound and Alex Trevino behind the plate. And an infield of Dan Griesen,
• 6:23
  Ron Oster, David Concepcion, and Johnny Fench. In the outfield, Mike Bale is in left. The
• 6:30
  counterfielder is Eddie Milner, and the right fielder is Paul Householder, and Steve Sacks
• 6:37
  will start it off. Frank Pastore, who would just as soon forget last year, he was four
• 6:44
  and nine after winning 13 the year before. The second half of last year, he won only
• 6:52
  one game in 11 starts, so he'd just as soon wipe it out. The pitch to Steve Sacks is low
• 6:58
  ball one, one and oh. John Lowe, the fine writer for the Valley News, who is our guest
• 7:03
  on the pregame show tonight, points out an interesting thing about Sacks. The youngster
• 7:08
  with 70 hits this year, he takes outside, hitting 299. He could be a rookie to get 200
• 7:16
  hits, and that's only happened a couple of times. The last time, Richie Allen. Here's
• 7:23
  a 2-0 pitch on the way, and Sacks takes inside, 4-3, 3-0. So Frank Pastore, leading 1-0, he
• 7:32
  is from Alhambra and lives in Upland, 6'3, 205 pounders. Frank into the wind up, now
• 7:41
  the 3-0 pitch on the way, high, 4-4. Sacks opens up with a walk, and of course, Steve
• 7:51
  Sacks leading the Dodgers in a lot of things, in hits, runs, stolen bases, and he was tied
• 7:57
  for fourth with walks, so Sacks has been very busy. He's at first, nobody out, and Kenny
• 8:03
  Landrow the batter. Landrow, a month ago, was hitting 358. Now he's hitting 275, a victim
• 8:10
  of whatever it is that chills him after a great start. It happened last year, and he's
• 8:15
  in the throes of another slide. On deck, Dusty Baker. Kenny waiting, Pastore goes to first,
• 8:21
  back in there is Steve Sacks. Frank Pastore, his middle name, Enrico. I'm sure his folks
• 8:28
  were fans of Caruso. Frank, a high step, up around the breastbone, and said to Landrow
• 8:35
  over for a strike and a count on one. Both the Dodgers bring their hands together and
• 8:39
  come to a complete stop at the felt. Pastore does it somewhere around the breastbone. A
• 8:46
  little bit tough, too, to exactly see just when and where, he says. And he's off the
• 8:51
  rubber, and Sacks back off the back again. Now a throw, and Steve back in standing up.
• 8:57
  Sacks, among other things, leading the Dodgers in stolen bases. He's stolen 17 out of 22.
• 9:05
  There he goes. The pitch is a strike. The throw is on a bounce. Alex Trevino has not
• 9:15
  had the thrill of throwing many people out. One reason, of course, as they always say,
• 9:21
  you steal a base on the pitcher, as Sacks picks up number 18. In stolen bases for the
• 9:28
  Reds, the opposition is better than two to one, 44 stolen bases, while they have been
• 9:34
  able to nail only 20 runners. So Sacks at second, oh and two to count to Landrow, however,
• 9:42
  and Pastore out of a stretch. Another look at Steve, the pitch to Landrow way inside,
• 9:48
  ball one, one and two. Kenny, of course, would love to get a pitch he can handle in full
• 9:53
  to at least get Sacks over to third. Lee Lacey hit a home run in the ninth inning, and
• 9:58
  Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia one to nothing, hence the call of the over, Larry Christianson.
• 10:06
  One and two to count. Landrow waiting, Sacks at second, conception on Berg dogging him
• 10:13
  a little bit, and the one-two pitch is low in the dirt. Landrow, with only 13 runs batted
• 10:20
  in. So Kenny has had a struggle. Two balls, two strikes to count. Baker, Guerrero, and
• 10:30
  Garvey after that. The Dodgers trying to snap a four-game losing streak tonight. Joliroyte
• 10:36
  against Frank Pastore. Now the two-two pitch to Kenny Landrow. Pastore delivers, pulled
• 10:42
  on the ground to Grieson. He has to throw to Pastore coming over, and Sacks takes third.
• 10:47
  So Landrow does his job. He got his man over, and it's appreciated. The aficionado is a
• 10:53
  little bit out of the way. Now Dusty Baker. Dusty Baker hitting 298. He has nine home
• 11:07
  runs, 32 runs batted in. Baker has been hitting over 300 for quite a stretch. It's like for
• 11:20
  a month there, he was hitting about 331. And the pitch to him is taken high and outside.
• 11:26
  Dusty with 32 runs batted in. Guerrero leads the club with 38. So Steve Sacks at third,
• 11:36
  one ball and no strikes. And Pastore delivers low, ball two, 2-0. Landrow Guerrero, waiting
• 11:46
  his turn on deck. Tomorrow night, Bob Welch and Greg Harris, and then Sunday afternoon,
• 11:51
  Burt Hooten and Bruce Berengy. Pastore hasn't won since a month ago when he beat St. Louis
• 12:00
  3-1. For a 2-0 pitch, Baker fouls it away, off to the right upstairs in the count two
• 12:05
  and one. In his next four starts, Pastore lost three and he had one no decision. Now
• 12:23
  the 2-1 pitch on the way. Pastore delivers inside, ball three. The Pastore's have a
• 12:29
  youngster, a son, Frank, who was born almost a year ago while Pastore was pitching here
• 12:35
  at Dodger Stadium. You might remember that day. It was the 29th of May and of course
• 12:39
  he was out there pitching and greatly concerned about his wife, Gina. 3-1 pitch, off speed
• 12:45
  and hit foul, outside of third and down the line. Three and two. So Frank Pastore, who
• 12:54
  has been with Cincinnati since 1979. Prior to this year, he was a break even pitcher,
• 13:03
  23 and 23 and right now he's one under 500. Pastore, out of a stretch to improve his control
• 13:10
  and the pitch to Baker is lined to right and thinking for the hit, Frank has gone back
• 13:15
  to third and now it comes in to score so just like that it's tied up. So Baker nudged one
• 13:30
  in the right field for a face hit to get the Dodgers even and that will bring up Pedro
• 13:34
  Guerrero and of course Steve Sacks making more contributions. First he walked a whole second
• 13:41
  and eventually came home on the hit. For Sacks, he has now scored 36 runs so he really has
• 13:48
  been a marvelous offensive weapon for the Dodgers. Pedro Guerrero checking in, Baker draws a
• 13:58
  throw and gets back. Final score, the Cardinals polished off the New York Mets tonight, 7-3
• 14:05
  and Duhar beating Randy Jones so Joaquin is 6-4. The pitch to Guerrero on the outside
• 14:13
  corner for a strike, going one. Guerrero has been hitting although he has not been tearing
• 14:22
  it up. He's hitting 13 of his last 15. Throw to first again Baker back to the back. Dusty
• 14:32
  is 6 out of 10 in stolen bases. On deck, Steve Garvey. 1-1 tie here in the first inning and
• 14:40
  Pastore delivers and what sounded like a cracked bat and the ball is hit foul in the lower
• 14:44
  deck off to the right and Guerrero looking at it but everything is okay. I think he hit
• 14:48
  it on the end of the bat and it had kind of a twang to it. 0-1-2 to Pedro Guerrero. 1-1
• 14:56
  tie. Milner doubled and came home later on as Concepcion grounded out and Baker singled
• 15:02
  home sacks. Guerrero fouls it back, second deck off to the right of the plate and they
• 15:07
  count 0-2. No balls and two strikes. Pedro Guerrero and Riesen holding the bag on Baker
• 15:20
  and Pastore. Squinting in to get a sign from Trevino. Now comes back to his hitter and
• 15:26
  that hit the right center field and is sinking and will fall for a hit. It's knocked down
• 15:31
  by Eddie Milner and by the time he recovers and gets it in there are dodges at second
• 15:36
  and third. So with Ren is at second and third and one out and a 1-1 tie, Dean Garvey coming
• 15:58
  up. Charlie Lee Brandt will get up in the Cincinnati bullpen and John McNamara goes
• 16:09
  walking out to the mound and he's walking in a hurry. But Charlie Lee Brandt throwing
• 16:14
  in the pen and the Dodgers here in the inning with a walk as single and a double trying
• 16:20
  to break the tie and chase Pastore and the ballgame has really just started. McNamara
• 16:25
  continues to talk to Pastore so time out for the moment. One of the glaring problems with
• 16:32
  the Dodgers this year, they get people on base but they don't get them home. For instance
• 16:37
  when you look at the team batting average it's a very respectable 261. But then when
• 16:43
  you look at the National League weekly averages it jumps out at you. The Los Angeles Dodgers
• 16:50
  lead the National League and you know what department? That's right, left on base. Here
• 16:57
  they are with Ren is at second and third and they lead by plenty. Here's Garvey. Garvey
• 17:04
  hitting 249 and Pastore delivers that get bowed on the right field line and feeling
• 17:11
  off and caught by the ball boy down by the top roller. Oh and one to count. So Sacks
• 17:17
  walks and stole second. Landrow got him over to third and Baker picked him up with a base
• 17:22
  hit and Guerrero has just doubled Baker to third. Garvey has always heard the Reds throughout
• 17:31
  his career. This time he left that fly ball into shallow right. Coming in for it is Householder
• 17:37
  tagging Baker and Baker's not coming. Householder's throw is cut off by Griesen. It would have
• 17:42
  gotten him. So Garvey can't get anybody home and it's up to Say. Boy I guess Sacks probably
• 17:50
  is the biggest indictment of any team to lead the league and then left on base. And now
• 17:58
  here's Say. Ron Say hitting 245. He has five home runs and 20 runs batted him. So Say trying
• 18:18
  to get squared away here with Pastore. Dodges at second and third. Two out, a one-one tie
• 18:24
  here in the first inning. That story will now go to a windup. Frank Reddy and his first
• 18:30
  pitch to Say. Fastball assists the hole. Backhand is by Concepcion. He's cranked up and throws
• 18:35
  him out and the Dodgers leave runners at second and third. And the stigma is still there.
• 18:41
  One-one tie. Young is a few minutes away from the first round at Las Vegas. The WBC Heavyweight
• 18:49
  Championship fight. Larry Holmes eager to show up Jerry Cooney as the glorified amateur
• 18:53
  remains a solid nine-five favorite to defeat the unbeaten number one contender. Cooney
• 18:59
  is ready to take the title he says. I've been away from home since November and I didn't
• 19:05
  come over here to Las Vegas to win this fight. I've been working with Victor Valle, the best
• 19:09
  player in the world and we've worked quite a long time for this fight. Jerry says he's
• 19:15
  not concerned with lack of a recent fight time. But they say they have 86 around. Well that's
• 19:21
  a fight if all I have is 87 that's okay with me. When I get to these fights and I say to
• 19:27
  ask those questions we're going to have to ask them what I want to do. Come in for the
• 19:31
  challenger. Holmes is 39 and 0 with 29 knockouts. Cooney was almost 6 foot 6 and nearly a 3
• 19:37
  inch height advantage and a 12 pound weight advantage after weighing in at 225 and a half
• 19:42
  on Thursday. One-one tie at the end of an inning. Meanwhile on the scoreboard the Chicago Cubs
• 19:50
  have failed 5 to nothing, then 5 to 3, then 7 to 3. They came up with 5 runs in the eighth
• 19:57
  inning to take an 8 to 7 lead. And remember the Cubs have lost 10 in a row and don't you
• 20:03
  know Montreal just scored twice in the bottom of the eighth inning? It is 9-8 Montreal and
• 20:09
  the Cubs are three outs away from stepping off the pier. John Stone, Moreland and Oliver
• 20:15
  home run. Santa Monica pier or in the lake. Holy mackerel. The Cardinals beat the Mets
• 20:22
  7-3 Pittsburgh on Lee Lacey's inning home run beat Philadelphia 1-0. Houston San Diego
• 20:28
  scoreless to the end of 2 and Atlanta picked up 2. Dale Murphy just did his 18th up in
• 20:33
  San Francisco with a man aboard. American League in a moment. Mike Vail will start it
• 20:39
  off the right hand hitting left fielder. He'll be followed by Johnny Bench and then Paul
• 20:43
  Householder and the pitch is flung on and fouled away on one. There in the bottom of
• 20:48
  the eighth inning California 6 and Chicago 1. Ruth Keaton had a perfect game for 6 and
• 20:54
  a third innings until Tony Bernisar tripled in the seventh with one out and that led to
• 20:59
  the White Shots run. Toronto beat Oakland 2-1 Baltimore 9 and the Yankees 4. Kurt Ball
• 21:05
  fouled away. Boston 6 and Cleveland 2. It is 6 to 5 Milwaukee leading Detroit at the
• 21:12
  end of 7. 2-2 Seattle Kansas City at the end of 8. Minnesota Texas rained out. Pitch fouled
• 21:23
  away so it's still 0-2. Mike Vail starting it off. Then Johnny Bench and Paul Householder.
• 21:40
  Royce looks in to get a sign. Socia wigwagon a couple of times out and Jerry into the windup.
• 21:45
  Strike two pitch on the way is flung on and missed that ball Johnny. Let's pause for station
• 21:50
  identification. This is the Los Angeles Dodgers radio network. And this is the American Forces
• 21:56
  radio and television service. Johnny Bench coming up. John hitting 220. The boy had a
• 22:09
  star to fall in. You see Bench hitting 220. Tom Seaver having his problems. Then Ron Say,
• 22:15
  Steve Garvey struggling. Royce into the windup. Jerry delivers. Fastball hit foul outside
• 22:21
  a third and the count on one. June the 11th. Kind of a big day in the Dodger family and
• 22:27
  particularly in the family of Ross and Lynn Porter with Wes and Mindy, the twins, celebrating
• 22:33
  a birthday today. And of course Ross Jr. graduating from high school today on his way to Pappy
• 22:40
  School at the University of Oklahoma. So what a day. June the 11th, 1969 for Wes and Mindy.
• 22:46
  The pitch fouled away. And from all of us, happy birthday to the kids and the heartiest
• 22:51
  congratulations to Ross Jr. Indeed, indeed. John waiting at the plate. Royce Reddy comes
• 23:00
  to him and it's grounded foul outside a third. Oh and two to the count. We mentioned it last
• 23:05
  night. Bench has had some trouble breathing this year. They found a polyp in his nasal
• 23:09
  passage and he'll probably have to have surgery after the season. Although medication is helping
• 23:14
  it right now. John tied with Ralph Keiner for 26th place on the all-time home run list.
• 23:26
  He is 369. Royce Reddy in the strike two pitch, low and inside. Ball one, one and two. The
• 23:32
  next one he hits with Ty Gill Hodges. He's also up there in the RBI list pursuing penis
• 23:41
  slaughter. Bench takes the low, ball two, two and two. One away here in the second inning,
• 23:49
  a one-one tie. The Reds have run on a hit, Milner's double. The Dodgers have run on two
• 23:54
  hits. But for the Dodgers, second and third and one out. They couldn't get anybody home.
• 23:58
  The two-two pitch is swung on and missed. Royce taking a lot off and Bench way out in front
• 24:04
  of it and down he goes. That is seven. Number two, Ralph Keiner for householder. So Royce
• 24:12
  strikes out two and now the right fielder, Paul Householder coming up. Of course not
• 24:17
  only the veterans like Bench and Siever and Faye and Darby who are having their troubles,
• 24:22
  the kids are too. Here's the case in point, a youngster they feel has a world of ability.
• 24:27
  After two big years in Indianapolis, Paul Householder, he takes the strike. The switch
• 24:32
  hitter is batting 170. Householder batting right-handed. The strike one pitch to him
• 24:41
  and a one-one tie. Royce going in to get a sign from Mike Sosha. The left-handed delivers
• 24:55
  a chopper down to short tough play for Russell. Oh, he short hopped on the run and got him.
• 25:00
  What a play. That's really do or die. If you miss it, it's going to go on out in the left
• 25:05
  center. But he came up with it and got him. And at the end of an inning and a half, a one-one
• 25:11
  tie. Let's update baseball now. Cincinnati and Chicago cubs at Montreal. After two and
• 25:16
  a half, the Expos two, the Cubs nothing. Al Oliver home run for Montreal, the first one
• 25:21
  on his sixth of the year. Doug Ford three and six for the Cubbies. Charlie Lee four
• 25:25
  and two for Montreal. Pittsburgh has defeated Philadelphia one-nothing. Pittsburgh one run
• 25:29
  nine hits no errors. Phillies no run four hits no errors. The Colby can release the winner
• 25:34
  four and two. Christensen the Roosier three and four. Attendant and veteran stadium 30,870.
• 25:40
  Houston and San Diego nothing in yet. Something for Houston. Roller for San Diego. St. Louis
• 25:46
  leads the New York Mets after one and a half, three nothing. As you are, five and four for
• 25:50
  the Cardinals. Jones six and four for the Mets. Corner home run for St. Louis, the second
• 25:55
  one on his fifth of the year starting later. Atlanta at San Francisco. The American League
• 26:01
  after four and a half at Oakland one, Toronto one. Kingman for Oakland, Clancy for Toronto.
• 26:06
  After three and a half the Red Sox lead the Indians four to two. Baltimore has just defeated
• 26:11
  New York nine to four. Home runs Renneke for the Orioles in the first with two on his 14th
• 26:17
  of the year. Back to back it is. Ripken for Baltimore in the first, nobody on his fifth
• 26:21
  of the year. And after seven and a half, California in front of Chicago six to one. Again we're
• 26:27
  going to give you highlights after each round of the home scooty fight as soon as we receive
• 26:32
  it in thanks to KNX radio in Los Angeles, also APR and UPI radio. Right now let's go
• 26:40
  to the home second. Dodgers coming up. Out of the second inning one, one time. Mike Socha
• 26:48
  will start it off followed by Bill Russell and then Jerry Royce. Socha back in the starting
• 26:54
  lineup. Yeager caught four in a row. And now Socha's turn. Mike hitting 236. He was in
• 27:02
  there last night and had one hit. He doubled inside first down the line and drove in a
• 27:06
  run. Socha at the plate and Frank Pastore looks in to get a sign. Right hander into
• 27:14
  the windup and delivers and the first one is right in the count of one, one. Johnny
• 27:23
  Bench about even with the bag at third but they're certainly not expecting Socha to try
• 27:27
  to front. And Mike tired of waiting backed out. Pastore into the windup and the strike
• 27:39
  one pitch three foul off to the left upstairs fourth level in the count of one, two. Well
• 27:45
  the Dodgers of course were knocked on their numbers by Atlanta losing three straight to
• 27:49
  them. The Reds haven't had much luck. They lost three in a row to the Braves at home
• 27:54
  and then lost two out of three in Atlanta. They're pitched to Socha low. So they've lost
• 27:59
  five out of six to the Braves. Of course the Dodgers will stop in Atlanta one of the stops
• 28:04
  on this upcoming road trip. June has been a traveling month for the Dodgers. 22 of the
• 28:10
  29 games played this month. There is a road. Socha comes one and it's just off the glove
• 28:15
  of Ron Oster. Oster diving to smother but all he did was deflect it on out into right.
• 28:22
  And that will bring up Bill Ruckel following the base hit by Socha. Bill Ruckel is having
• 28:36
  ailing back. Rosalind playing on the Astor serve in Pittsburgh and St. Louis. So that
• 28:42
  when he came home he just couldn't bend. His pain in the lower back but he said he's ready
• 28:47
  to play tonight and he's in there. The pitch to him over first light. It was too bad because
• 28:52
  for a while there he was the Dodgers hottest hitter. He had five hits against the Braves
• 28:58
  but then the back flared up. The Russell waiting for that story delivers and that's driven
• 29:04
  into right center so he hadn't lost the touch. Socha is on his way to third on a long single
• 29:13
  by Bill Ruckel. Charlie LeBrant was going in the first and the Dodgers left run is the
• 29:24
  second and third and Charlie's up again in the Cincinnati pen as the Dodgers go right
• 29:29
  after Pastore. First and third nobody out and you have Jerry Royce. Well we'll see how
• 29:34
  the Dodgers play it. They might have Royce bunt just to get Russell to second stay away
• 29:40
  from the double play and leave it up to sacks. We'll see. Royce this year has five hits.
• 29:47
  A double in one run batted in. He has a half a dozen sacrifices and he swings and hits
• 29:54
  one to bench but there's nobody covering second. Ron Oster couldn't get over to second base
• 30:00
  looking bunt and bench had to throw to first so it's a swinging bunt so to speak. Of course
• 30:06
  it is rule of the time at bat. So Royce grounds to third. Russell is at second. Socha holding
• 30:12
  at third and the Dodgers who left run is at second and third in the first hit. LeBrant
• 30:17
  is at second and third and one out in the second. Steve Sacks walked all second and
• 30:24
  eventually came home with a run in the first inning. One away. Sacks with Lando DiBallo.
• 30:33
  Pastore pitching out of his stretch again. Frank Seth looks at his runners. Now the
• 30:44
  Dodgers lead to Sacks. The comebackers fear there and the throw goes to first. They had
• 30:48
  Socha and Socha scores. Whoa did Pastore kick that one. Socha had committed himself
• 30:56
  and Pastore just went to first and Socha who was anything but fleet footed continued home
• 31:03
  to score but Pastore should have had him easily. So the Dodgers lead two to one and the batter
• 31:09
  now is Kenny Landro. So Sacks will get credit for a run batted in and the Dodgers leading
• 31:21
  two to one as Landro is grounded out in the first inning check in. Two runs four hits
• 31:26
  for the Dodgers. One run one hit for the Reds and of course Pastore reacted properly. The
• 31:32
  Dodgers would be faced with another bleak situation of leaving men on base. The pitch
• 31:37
  to Landro is low ball one one and oh. Pastore again out of his stretch. Looks at Russell
• 31:50
  at second. Right hander delivers and Landro hits a high drive in a right field. Back to
• 32:08
  the second. Kenny Landro hits his first home run of the year and in a somewhat bizarre
• 32:27
  inning the Dodgers lead four to one. Since it was his first of the year you're wondering
• 32:34
  about his last one. It was against Bob Nepper October the fourth last year. Nepper pitching
• 32:40
  with Houston. Baker takes in the third ball one. We send along a $50 book of union on
• 32:44
  autoscript to the Charoptimist Boys Club in Santa Paula. What an inning. Couple of base
• 32:54
  hits and then Royce swinging away hits the fence but he can't throw to second base because
• 33:01
  Oster is looking fun and he's racing to cover first and instead of what might have been
• 33:06
  a double play they only get an out at first. Then the comeback of the man and Pastore blew
• 33:12
  that play he could have had social. Line drive at Concepcion. So Baker hits it hard but an
• 33:17
  out and the Dodgers enjoy a three run inning and at the end of two the Dodgers four Reds
• 33:23
  one. Okay let's find out what's happening at Las Vegas they're underway and Tom Kelly
• 33:28
  of KNX Radio Los Angeles is at ringside to describe what happened in the first round
• 33:32
  of the Holmes-Cuney fight. It was an interesting first round it opened with Holmes sticking
• 33:36
  out the left hand and dancing away from Cooney who kept plotting after him trying to throw
• 33:40
  that same left hook which he landed about three times but with no great force or effect
• 33:45
  right toward the end of the first round Holmes landed a punch and it kind of startled Cooney
• 33:50
  a bit and because of that I had the round even although some of my fellow experts kind
• 33:56
  of gave it to Holmes I think it was an even round getting set for round number two and
• 34:00
  we'll be back with a progress report as the fight continues. Okay we'll keep you abreast
• 34:04
  of course between innings there's usually seven to ten minutes to team at bat so we
• 34:08
  may have to give you a real rehash of what happened and then go back to Tom Kelly. Earlier
• 34:14
  heavyweight James Quick-Killis scored a unanimous ten round decision over veteran Ernie Shavers
• 34:19
  followed with part of the undercard of course to the WBC Heavyweight title fight between
• 34:23
  champion Larry Holmes and challenger Jerry Cooney. Shavers knocked down Killis the ninth
• 34:27
  round but Killis came back to batter Shavers in the final two rounds and Trevor Burvick
• 34:32
  used a powerful right to hammer out a surprising ten round unanimous decision over previously
• 34:37
  unbeaten Greg Page in a battle of heavyweight contenders. Burvick avoided the long left
• 34:42
  jab of Page throughout the fight sliding to the side and landing dozens of crunching rights
• 34:48
  to his head. Page also dancing and jabbing landed few solid punches in the fight. Third
• 34:55
  inning Dodgers four Reds one and the ball play by play here's Jerry Dodgers. Okay Vinnie
• 35:01
  for the Reds it'll be Stravino, Pastore and Milner the first three to up here to face
• 35:05
  Jerry Royce. They now have a little lead to work with. Any Landro's homerun. Back ground
• 35:11
  out got the run in. Here's Stravino the catcher hitting 284 with no homers and 13 runs that
• 35:18
  it ends. Stravino came over to the Reds from the Mets in the trade that called George Foster
• 35:24
  go to New York. Now Royce to the wind up bandit. Pitch on the way to Stravino the fastball
• 35:30
  up high one ball and no strike. Royce at five and five on the year trying to square it away.
• 35:35
  Pitch well in his last game against the Cardinals. Here's the pitch fouled out of play. One ball
• 35:47
  one strike. Royce on Sunday worked six and he gave up two runs and six hits to the Cardinals.
• 35:53
  The Dodgers pulled that game out 25 to 3. Bouncing ball near second base. Russell makes
• 35:59
  the play and time for Vinno to retire. So one away and here's Pastore coming on. And
• 36:14
  Pastore will not bat. Wayne Krenzicki is going to bat for Pastore. Pastore is out early in
• 36:23
  the ball game. Wayne Krenzicki K-R-E-M-C-H-I-C-K-I. Krenzicki came over from Baltimore. That was
• 36:36
  a deal for Paul Moscow. Krenzicki bats here in the third inning. Pastore worked two innings
• 36:45
  allowed four runs five hits. No strikeouts in the walk and Frank Leeds no doubt a little
• 36:52
  bit upset about that. Pitching at home and coming back and having to leave early in the
• 36:56
  game. Frank's first game here in Dodger Stadium several years ago. The Dodgers told him for
• 37:01
  some home runs. That was a memory he just assumed to get. Last year he had that big
• 37:06
  night when he pitched on his life of giving birth to their baby. Now the 1-0 pitch on the
• 37:12
  way to Krenzicki. Left hand batter takes low for ball two. Two and 0 to count. So we'll
• 37:18
  see about a new pitcher. Charlie Lebrant was down there a little while ago and he's still
• 37:22
  warming up now. Next pitch is in for a strike and it's two and one. Two balls one strike.
• 37:34
  A third inning and a two and fifth. Chopped away foul out of play. Two and two. Two balls
• 37:41
  and two strikes and the on deck circle is Eddie Milner the center fielder. Dodgers even
• 37:48
  the score with one in the first inning and added three more in the second. Big Jerry
• 37:55
  Royce on the hill ready to go with it. Two two count and a fifth. Chuck him out. My heart
• 38:02
  on the down goes Krenzicki. The third strikeout for Royce and the batter will be Milner who
• 38:08
  opened the game with a double to left field and came around to score after a sacrifice
• 38:12
  and a ground out. Eddie Milner batting 257 to start of the game. Dodgers lead four to
• 38:18
  one trying to stamp a four game losing streak. So after a four and five road trip the Dodgers
• 38:24
  come home for seven and now they've got to sweep in order to make it a three four home
• 38:29
  stand. Breaking ball is down low. One ball on the strike and then on the road they go
• 38:33
  to San Diego three games in San Diego and a travel day and four more in Cincinnati three
• 38:39
  in Atlanta and three in Houston. Longest trip of the year. It's about to foul first base
• 38:45
  side and it'll be a one ball one strike count to Milner. One and one count. Next pitch is
• 39:04
  a strike and it's a one and two count out of Milner. One ball two strikes and the windup
• 39:15
  in six. Fly ball to the right field. Dorado coming up for it. A goes right there. Makes
• 39:20
  the catch to the side we tag. So they're gone one two three in the third and the score at
• 39:25
  the end of two and a half Dodgers four and the Reds one. Okay we'll go to Tom Kelly for
• 39:31
  the third and fourth round. A little later but round two here we go. Larry Holmes knocked
• 39:37
  down Jerry Cooney with a right about two minutes into that second round. Cooney took an eight
• 39:42
  count then got up. Holmes again dominated the round as Cooney again stayed mainly in
• 39:47
  mid-ring. Holmes circles and after the flooring again through the majority of those trying
• 39:52
  to stick the challenger with jazz. Cooney's main thrust was toward Holmes mid-section.
• 39:57
  There you have it the first round about even. That round of course has to go to home. We'll
• 40:02
  be back again with more on it a little bit later on. Sunny and warm in Las Vegas as the
• 40:07
  fight is now in the fourth round. Official national weather service temperature was 100
• 40:12
  degrees. Holmes Cooney fight being held outdoors at a makeshift temperature. And the first
• 40:19
  round as it started the temperature was in the mid-80s. Let's update the baseball scoreboard
• 40:24
  national leg again the Fitzbrick Pirates have beaten the Phillies 1-0. We'll check more
• 40:29
  later. There are three special attractions on the Dodgers home stands running from June
• 40:34
  28th through July the 4th. Monday night June 28th will be poster night. A free poster showing
• 40:39
  past World Series program coverage to all fans in attendance. Wednesday night June 30th
• 40:44
  will feature a 505 doubleheader between the Dodgers and the Padres. And Saturday night
• 40:48
  July 3rd is fireworks night. Only general admission tickets on a guaranteed seat basis
• 40:53
  are available for fireworks night. Make your ticket plans now. A lot going on at Dodgers
• 40:58
  Stadium. Be part of it. To the last half of the third Charlie Lebrant will come on now
• 41:04
  for the Reds. Lebrant making his 15th appearance. Two and one is his record on the year. With
• 41:12
  a 1.74 earned run average. Lebrant is on a sometimes charter. And last year with the
• 41:19
  Reds was one and one at Cincinnati and four and seven at Indianapolis. Lebrant on the
• 41:24
  verge of making with a big club but he has been up and down several times to Cincinnati
• 41:28
  and Indianapolis. Out of Chicago, Illinois six four 200 pound left hander Charlie Lebrant
• 41:35
  L-E-I-B-R-A-M-D-T. Lebrant will pick first to Guerrero, Bengali, and Trey here in the
• 41:43
  third inning. Guerrero doubled the right center his last first time up. Pedro hitting three
• 41:52
  13. He's been swapping a bit so he's trying to get it back together again. Okay standing
• 42:02
  in. Pete Guerrero batting fourth in the order and Lebrant down into the line. Good turn away.
• 42:08
  A little high for the ball as Pedro ran up to zip the front but he go by one and 0 to
• 42:13
  count. One ball and no strike. Now the pitch again. Bring it or miss. A speed pitch and
• 42:24
  it's one and one. Well Montreal hung around to beat the Chicago Cubs nine to eight and
• 42:31
  the Cubbies now have lost the 11 straight which is a seasonal high in the league. They
• 42:38
  haven't won a game since they beat the Dodgers in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Fernando started
• 42:43
  them on the skid and they're still going down. Simon was the winner and Campbell was the
• 42:49
  loser. Two on pitch on the way to Pedro. High on the way for ball. So the Cubs now have
• 42:59
  fallen to 14 games back and they trailed Pittsburgh by six. The Pittsburghs in fifth place so the
• 43:06
  Cubbies are really going downhill. Pedro takes time for ball. He's on with a walk. That's
• 43:14
  the first walk. First batter of the late man's base. Montreal has moved into a virtual tie
• 43:26
  with Philadelphia for a second. Three and a half games back. The Mets are five and a
• 43:31
  half. Pittsburgh remains eight back and Chicago now 14 back. One on, nobody out. Lee Brand
• 43:42
  ready to go. Hit and run play. Swing and a bouncing ball. Left field play fifth. Here's
• 43:47
  Guerrero around on his way to third. He will make it easy. On the hit and run play, the
• 43:52
  shot stop, broke the cover and Garvey hit it right through the hole. Perfect execution
• 43:58
  that time. As Garvey gets a base hit, bouncing one to left field. Guerrero winds up at third
• 44:04
  base and the batter now will be Ron Faye who's rounded the short his last time up. The Dodgers
• 44:10
  are trying to open this one up and what they really need is a fake lapper. They haven't
• 44:15
  had any of those for a long time. They've had a lot of tough ones. The way the trend is
• 44:20
  going right now, they have a chance to get one going. But they've got to keep the attack
• 44:25
  rolling here in the third inning. Runners at first and third with nobody out. Faye the
• 44:32
  hitter. And Lee Brand's six. Perky Jook, a high five ball to left field. Should be deep
• 44:37
  enough to get Guerrero home. As Faye makes the catch and left brings his throw to second
• 44:44
  base. Guerrero comes across the score and the Dodgers lead five to one on the sacrifice
• 44:51
  fly by Ron Faye. He makes the catch and left brings his throw to second base. Guerrero
• 44:56
  comes across the score and the Dodgers lead five to one on the sacrifice fly by Ron Faye.
• 45:02
  Ronny is 21st RBI. Here's Mike Sosa bat. He's one for one with a single to right field.
• 45:10
  Walk a single on the sacrifice fly for a run. Five-one Dodgers. We're in the third inning.
• 45:25
  Okay, Sosa waiting, hitting 236. Lee Brand ready. And the left-hander deals high for
• 45:32
  a one and oh the count. After Sosa will be Bill Russell. One oh the count. He's trying
• 45:43
  to move Milner over a little bit into his center field. He's in left center right now,
• 45:48
  slightly off the mark. Sosa takes a curve ball for second at one and one. Charlie Lee
• 45:55
  is in the second. Pitching to Mike Sosa here in the third inning. Five runs and six hits
• 46:02
  for the Dodgers. One-one for the Reds. Now the one-one fix. Fly ball to center field.
• 46:13
  He hit it deep. Milner has to go way back for it. Now near the track makes the catch
• 46:18
  for the odds. So Sosa fly ball to deep center field. Two down and the batter will be Russell.
• 46:23
  Russell has single and scored a run. Billy hitting 266 with two home runs and 19 RBI.
• 46:31
  So rather promising beginning a walk to Guerrero to hit and run single by Garvey but now two
• 46:36
  fly ball out. And the Dodgers about to settle for only one in the inning. Let's Russell
• 46:43
  to keep it going with Royce on deck. Pitch to Billy. In first strike at the knees. We're
• 46:49
  in the bottom of the third inning and it's five to one in favor of the Dodgers. Russell
• 46:56
  swings at a thinker and his bat goes flying all the way to third base. And it went beyond
• 47:04
  the bag and Danny Ozark there picks it up and gives it to the bat boy. So Russell lost
• 47:10
  the bat. And Billy now ready to go back in there again. Strike two count. Lucky one hit
• 47:20
  and his hand came right off the bat. Garvey on first. Two out. Lee Brand up with the arms.
• 47:30
  And the pitch to Russell. Off the glove of Carino all the way to the backstop and down
• 47:34
  to second base goes Garvey. A turn and holding there. Lee Brand really threw that one high
• 47:39
  and wide inside. A wild pitch for the Reds left hander. Garvey at second base and Russell
• 47:46
  trying to pick him up. Billy has 19 runs patted in on the year and is hitting 268. Final score
• 48:01
  in the American League. Milwaukee with two in the bottom of the eighth inning. Beat Detroit
• 48:05
  eight to six. Zuckovich over Lopez and fingers got his 12th phase. The one to pitch. Luke
• 48:15
  in the shallow center field. Miller coming up for it. He's there and makes the catch
• 48:20
  for retired at the side. One run, one hit, one left on. The score at the end of three
• 48:25
  innings to play. The Dodgers five and the Reds have one. They're turning out already in New
• 48:31
  York City to say no to the spread of nuclear weapons. Police figure that a half million
• 48:36
  people will turn out tomorrow in New York City for what would be the biggest anti-nuclear
• 48:40
  rally ever in the US. Hundreds of early arrivals are already in the city, including the one
• 48:44
  baby sees Martin Burshaw across from the United Nations. Those are homemade Tom Toms being
• 48:50
  beaten by young people from the Onondaga tribe of Indians. There are others here as well.
• 48:56
  A young man from Japan, a young lady from Canada, part of an international group, only
• 49:01
  about 10 sitting in Ralph Bunch Park, directly underneath. A sign cut into the stone that
• 49:07
  says they shall beat their swords into blouse years. They are here a day early for the huge
• 49:12
  demonstration and march against nuclear armament here in New York City. That's Martin Burshaw.
• 49:18
  The big rally will be held in Central Park. Argentina claims that British jets fired two
• 49:24
  missiles at an Argentine hospital ship in the South Atlantic today but missed. President
• 49:28
  Reagan's back in the White House after ending his European trip.
• 49:31
  Updeadly, Holmes, Cooney fight round three. Jerry Cooney became more aggressive in this
• 49:38
  round. Larry Holmes tried to set Cooney up with his jab landing often. Cooney missed
• 49:42
  a left. The punch he has left are led with throughout the bouts, but he connected with
• 49:47
  a left uppercut to the chest. He seemed to be working on Holmes' ribs. The two fighters
• 49:52
  did a lot of moving around in the late part of the round. Tom Kelly will report the next
• 49:57
  time around, see what's happening at Las Vegas. Right now, let's go back to baseball.
• 50:02
  Royce struck out pinch hitter Krenchicki who batted for Pastore in the top of the inning
• 50:08
  and then Lee Brack came on in to take over the pitching. So we're set to go now and
• 50:13
  Osters stepped in. There's a ball play. Let's go back to Vint.
• 50:16
  Okay, Jerry, Ron Osters sacrificed in the first inning, moving Milner to third where
• 50:22
  they picked him up. So Osters foot hitter batting right handed. Five to one Dodgers.
• 50:26
  The first pitch swung on and fouled away. So Jerry staked to a five to one lead.
• 50:34
  The end was wind up in the strike one pitch. His round is fouled outside of first and down
• 50:42
  the line. Bangs off the auxiliary scoreboard and the count O and two.
• 50:46
  So it's Charlie LeBrand battling Jerry Royce now. The Dodgers five run six hit. The Reds
• 50:57
  one run one hit. Royce delivers. Pastore fouled away into the crowd behind the Cincinnati
• 51:02
  dugout and the count O and two. No balls and two strikes to count Osters. Davy Concepcion
• 51:13
  waiting his turn on deck. Royce into the wind up and another foul ball upstairs off to the
• 51:19
  right of the plate. So Royce delivers and Osters keeps fouling him off. Final score
• 51:25
  Milwaukee beat Detroit eight to six and the final score Montreal beat Chicago nine eight
• 51:31
  and the Cubs have lost eleven in a row. That's the longest losing streak. Naturally the longest
• 51:39
  winning streak was Atlantis thirteen in a row. Royce Reddy delivers and it is swung on
• 51:48
  and missed and down goes Osters. Such pause for station identification. This is the Los
• 51:54
  Angeles Dodgers radio network. Jerry Royce with four strikeouts and Davy Concepcion on
• 52:12
  the batter. Concepcion grounded out in the first inning to pick up the run. Davy hitting
• 52:17
  three oh five. Royce into the wind up. Jerry delivers and is off speed and very high. Concepcion
• 52:23
  ran up and hit the front. One and O to count to Davy. Concepcion with a twelve game hitting
• 52:29
  streak. Now the next pitch is low ball two two and O. The longest hitting streak in the
• 52:43
  league Jason Thompson had a seventeen game streak. Let's set you over for strike two
• 52:48
  and one. Jason the first baseman for the Pirates hitting seventeen straight from the twenty
• 52:53
  first of April to the ninth of May. Concepcion now has hit in twelve. Here's a two one pitch
• 53:02
  to Concepcion. Royce delivers found away. With all of these foul balls you get the idea
• 53:08
  that Jerry's ball is moving a little more than it had been in a while. And with four
• 53:13
  strikeouts and Jerry is not particularly a strikeout pitcher, his two two pitch on the
• 53:19
  way. It's strike three called slow curve ball and Concepcion goes down not before muttering
• 53:26
  to the rookie umpire Bob Davidson. So five strikeouts for Jerry and Dan Brees in the
• 53:34
  vanity. The most strikeouts in a game this year by a pitcher. Eleven done twice by Mario
• 53:44
  Soto, Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton. But of course Carlton then the other night struck
• 53:50
  out sixteen. And here is Breeson and he hits a pop fly. Sacks angles out on the grass and
• 53:57
  it's an easy inning for Royce who is really pitching now. He's retired everybody since
• 54:02
  the leadoff double by Milner and at the end of three and a half Dodgers five Reds one.
• 54:14
  This is the American Fork. This is radio and television sir.
• 54:33
  Let's check on the fight again. Cooney was more aggressive in round four began landing
• 54:51
  a lot more. Holmes started the round off with a bunch of jams and landed. Holmes caught
• 54:55
  Cooney in the chin with a left hook in the first minute. Also in the first minute Cooney
• 54:59
  connected to Holmes' body. In round five the round was uneventful with the first minute
• 55:04
  and a half with the round pretty much even. Cooney sent Holmes back a bit with a right
• 55:07
  in the first minute. Late in the round Holmes caught Cooney on the left side of the head
• 55:11
  later connected with a right. Let's continue on and see what's happening as we go to Las
• 55:15
  Vegas. And again, Can-X radio sportsman on the scene Tom Kelly.
• 55:20
  This is a strange fight just for the looks as though Cooney is going to go down. Cooney
• 55:24
  comes back and whims around. He was down in round two, staggered in round six, came back
• 55:29
  and won round seven in the opinion of yours truly and the rest of the so-called experts
• 55:33
  gathered here. As I don't think Holmes really threw a punch in the seventh round. Cooney
• 55:38
  busy throwing lefts and rights and like most good fighters once you throw a left hand and
• 55:42
  keep throwing it right you seem to have the best of the round against no matter who you're
• 55:45
  fighting. Both of these men are putting on an excellent show. It's extremely warm in
• 55:49
  Vegas. They're expending a lot of energy and there is a slight abrasion around the nose
• 55:54
  and up around the left eye of Cooney but it has caused no problems so far in the fight.
• 55:59
  Right now I've got Cooney ahead by just a point. We're going into round number eight.
• 56:09
  Five runs on a half a dozen hits for the Dodgers. One run, one hit for Cincinnati. That was
• 56:15
  Milner's double and Royce has gotten everybody ten due to tie twelve in a row. The strike
• 56:20
  one pitch on the way is outside and high. One ball, one strike. So Frank Festori worked
• 56:27
  two innings. It was not his night. They hit for him and LeBrand now is one, one pitch.
• 56:33
  He's pulled into right field. Eight hits for Royce. So Jerry Royce comes up with his sixth
• 56:43
  hit of the year and the batter will be Steve Sacks. Steve Sacks has walked and hit back
• 56:58
  to the box. So Royce standing at first putting on a windbreaker and Sacks checking with Danny
• 57:05
  Ozark before he climbs in on deck Kenny Landrow who hit his first home run of the year tonight.
• 57:10
  LeBrand out of his stretch. The left hander delivers and there's a high bouncer over the
• 57:15
  mound over second in the center field and Royce is going to go to third and the throw
• 57:20
  to third hits in there as the strike by Ben gets backed up by LeBrand and in the second
• 57:26
  goes Sacks. I couldn't believe Royce was going to take the extra base and he just didn't
• 57:32
  get away with it. He's got to be feeling pretty chipper. Nobody out to go first to third on
• 57:38
  a single to center. Sacks was, Royce was nailed trying to score in St. Louis on a base hit
• 57:49
  thrown out of the plate. He just didn't make it to third and now second and third and here
• 57:55
  is Landrow. So the Dodgers leading five to one. Landrow is grounded out and homers and
• 58:03
  LeBrand delivers in the dirt. A good save by Trevino. Four one, one and oh. LeBrand
• 58:18
  checking. Now Charlie Sacks. The left hander comes back one oh and there's a line drive
• 58:24
  in the right field. Base hit. Royce will score. Sacks will stop and on the throw that gets
• 58:34
  through to catcher Trevino. In the second base goes Landrow and the Dodgers lead six
• 58:36
  to one. Dusty Baker. Nice field. So Dusty Baker will be coming up. The Dodgers lead
• 58:51
  six to one. The Dusty Baker will be coming up and in a moment the Reds will get somebody
• 58:56
  up in their bullpen. Six runs, nine hits for the Dodgers. One run, one hit for the Reds.
• 59:01
  And with Landrow at second and Sacks at third, still nobody out. And here is Baker. Singled
• 59:08
  and lined out to short. Left hander Bob Shirley begins to throw in the Cincinnati bullpen
• 59:14
  and the fastball is low to Baker ball one, one and oh. So the Dodgers scoring in every
• 59:23
  inning and leading six one here in the fourth. Now the one oh pitch on the way. LeBrand delivers
• 59:29
  and the big chopper to third then going at the Sacks and gets back to the back. Then
• 59:34
  he throws to first for the outs. So the run is holding as Baker grounds out. One away.
• 59:39
  And the batter is Guerrero. The Dodgers left second and third in the first inning. And
• 59:49
  with second and third and nobody out Baker can't pick anybody up and here is Guerrero.
• 59:53
  And Guerrero is going to get four. They're going to walk Guerrero intentionally and take
• 59:59
  their chances hoping to get a double play on Garvey or at least a fourth play. So there's
• 1:00:05
  the first to four line one. So in a moment the Dodgers will have the bases loaded. And
• 1:00:29
  Steve Garvey coming up. So the Dodgers leading six to one. They have a golden opportunity
• 1:00:36
  to break it wide open. Garvey has flying to right and then hits the run single to left
• 1:00:44
  in the third inning. So Guerrero at first. Landrow at second. Sacks to third. One out.
• 1:00:59
  Garvey hitting two forty eight. LeBrand will pitch out of a stretch. The left hander ready.
• 1:01:06
  Set at the belt. The pitch to Garvey is one on a miss. And LeBrand turned it over. It
• 1:01:11
  acted somewhat like a through ball. Bottom drop out of it. Oh and one. Here in the inning
• 1:01:17
  Royce single to right. Sacks single up the middle with Royce taking third. He just didn't
• 1:01:22
  make it. And Landrow single home Royce. Sacks took third and Landrow took second on the
• 1:01:28
  throw to the plate. And after Baker grounds out they walk Guerrero. Oh and one that counts
• 1:01:34
  to Garvey. LeBrand set at the belt. They strike one pitch and Garvey takes on one and one.
• 1:01:43
  The Chicago White Docks didn't win but they had to scare the Angels half to death. The
• 1:01:48
  Angels were leading six to nothing. And the White Docks got one in the seventh, two in
• 1:01:53
  the eighth, two in the ninth and fell a buck short. And the next one Garvey can't walk
• 1:01:58
  it. So Royce Keaton got the win. Docks has lost it. Jeff Corbett picks up a save. And
• 1:02:07
  now on a 2-1 count time called Bill Fisher going out the mound to talk to LeBrand. Fisher
• 1:02:13
  the pitching coach for John McNamara. So the base is loaded one out and the Dodgers leading
• 1:02:22
  six to one on deck on day. Fisher who holds a rather remarkable stat in his pitching days
• 1:02:34
  of consecutive innings without a walk being allowed trying to counsel his young pitcher.
• 1:02:44
  Fisher went 84 and a third consecutive innings without walking a batter when he pitched in
• 1:02:49
  the second. Garvey winds up wings and misses and they count two and two. LeBrand checking
• 1:02:59
  Trevino. The two fellows who for years have been the spark plug for the Dodgers in run
• 1:03:06
  production, Garvey and Say. Both men struggling a little bit. The 2-2 pitch just fell over
• 1:03:13
  the train into the back. Two and two. Garvey with 24 runs batted in and Say with 20. And
• 1:03:23
  of course the Dodgers as we mentioned leading the league in men left on. And you know that
• 1:03:30
  if they're leaving that many men on and the fact that Garvey and Say do not have a lot
• 1:03:35
  of RBIs when given the opportunities, you know that they're two of the culprits. The
• 1:03:40
  2-2 pitch is a little fly ball to right. That's going to be trouble. It's going to run.
• 1:03:46
  In comes Sack. In comes Landrow. Stopping his third to Rarrow on a blue single to right.
• 1:03:54
  Garvey and the Dodgers will take it. 8-1 Dodgers.
• 1:03:58
  1-0. 1-0.
• 1:04:13
  So the Dodgers leading 8-1 now. A little blooper by Garvey. It was hit in no man's land just
• 1:04:19
  inside the right field foul line and too far back and not high enough for Oslo or Greece
• 1:04:25
  in to get to it. So 8-1 Dodgers. And here is Ron Say. LeBrand checking. The left-hander
• 1:04:35
  delivers and Say is to drop all the bench. Yuggles and has to go to first and the run
• 1:04:40
  scores. John had an easy play at the plate but he couldn't handle the ball cleanly. So
• 1:04:46
  the Dodgers get another kill and they lead 9-1.
• 1:04:50
  9-1 Dodgers.
• 1:04:59
  So the Dodgers are not only leading, they are lucky tonight. If you go into the Dodger
• 1:05:05
  Club house after a couple of their tough defeats, the fellas would naturally take time to point
• 1:05:10
  out that this blue single and that ground ball that had eyes, well it is coming back
• 1:05:14
  the other way tonight. Everything they hit finds a hole, a blooper here and ground ball
• 1:05:18
  there. And a bad play by the Reds. Mike Sosia takes low, ball one, 1-0. The Reds defensively,
• 1:05:28
  it's not the number of errors they made and tonight they have not been charged with an
• 1:05:34
  error but they have made four plays. They have failed to execute. The 1-0 pitch, foul
• 1:05:40
  back, 1-1. The first length that story was guilty of that. In the second inning, the Dodgers
• 1:05:49
  scored one in the first, three in the second, one in the third and four in the fourth. So
• 1:05:55
  they are leading 9-1 here with two outs. Sosia single and fly it out and he looks at a pitch
• 1:06:01
  down and away. 2-1 to count Mike. On deck Bill Russell. It will be a big night for Greg.
• 1:06:18
  Born in Linwood, the 2-1 pitch inside ball three, three and one. Greg went to school
• 1:06:27
  at Long Beach City College. He'll be on the hill tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium for
• 1:06:33
  Cincinnati. He waited a while, 26. 3-1 pitch. Sosia pops it up into shallow right field.
• 1:06:42
  so they're coming in and the ball is high enough for him to get under it. Ball makes
• 1:06:47
  the catch and that's a four run inning for the Dodgers. At the end of four, Dodgers nine,
• 1:06:51
  Reds one. Let's check and see what's happening in the home of Cooney WBC Heavyweight Championship
• 1:06:56
  fight. Not much action until late in the eighth round. The two men exchanged blows. Holmes
• 1:07:02
  connected with a bunch of rights to the head causing Cooney to bleed again. Holmes continued
• 1:07:06
  working the jab on Cooney's left eye. Holmes started dancing again but Cooney again standing
• 1:07:12
  in mid-ring. Cooney threw a flurry in the second minute without doing much damage. Cooney
• 1:07:16
  relied on his left. Both fighters were sweating profusely in the 90 plus degree temperature.
• 1:07:22
  When the round ended, Cooney turned and looked at his mom at ringside. Now for round nine,
• 1:07:27
  let's go to Las Vegas. On the scene, Tom Kelly. The Nisonese went out of this fight about
• 1:07:32
  30 seconds left in round number nine when Cooney, the challenger, hit Holmes south of
• 1:07:38
  the border and so far south of the border the referee Mills Lane stepped in and gave the
• 1:07:43
  champion a respite of about 35 or 40 seconds in which to compose himself, catch his breath
• 1:07:49
  and get himself back in condition to continue the fight. Cooney had been the aggressor.
• 1:07:54
  I thought Cooney won the round but they're going to take the point away from him and
• 1:07:57
  so we'll put that round in Holmes' corner. The fight continues to go on. The experts
• 1:08:01
  say the longer it goes the better it will be for Larry Holmes but believe me both men
• 1:08:06
  are feeling the effects. Cooney remains the aggressor though he's been knocked down once
• 1:08:10
  and staggered on another occasion. He still seems to be the stronger of the two men. Holmes
• 1:08:15
  no longer up and dancing but flat footed as they approach and we're getting ready for
• 1:08:18
  round number 10. We're going to the fifth inning. The Dodgers nine runs, ten hits, no
• 1:08:23
  errors and the Reds one run, one hit. Mike Vail will start it off if he's followed by
• 1:08:33
  Johnny Bench and then all householders. Vail struck out in the second inning. So Jerry
• 1:08:40
  Royce sitting way up on top of a mountain leading nine one and looking down at Vail.
• 1:08:51
  Jerry Reddy delivers and the breaking ball is right. If you're up on top of a mountain
• 1:08:55
  looking down on Vail you've got to be in Colorado. Of course and he's in heaven anyway leading
• 1:09:00
  by eight. Jerry Reddy comes back all one and it's in the dirt. One ball and one strike.
• 1:09:10
  They're in round 11 of the Cooney-Holmes fight. Eleven of the schedule fifteen. I don't know
• 1:09:20
  I saw a couple of rounds and wasn't anything going on. 0-2 to count. Mike Vail he's hitting
• 1:09:31
  two eighty-nine at the start of the game with three home runs, seventeen runs batted in.
• 1:09:35
  Royce's fastball is high one and two. Jerry allowed the double the milner opening up the
• 1:09:43
  ballgame and he hasn't given up anything else since the one-two pitch is in the dirt. Vail
• 1:09:48
  starts the sling and holds up. They count two and two. Royce has retired twelve in a
• 1:09:54
  row. Of course in the fourth inning he was running the bases. We'll see how he reacts
• 1:09:59
  to that here in the fifth inning. Two-two pitch coming up. Royce delivers from all back.
• 1:10:07
  He had a little something on that one. Royce he has struck out five. He struck out Vail
• 1:10:13
  and Bench in the second inning. Then he got Trinchicki in the third and he struck out
• 1:10:19
  Ostrand Concepcion in the fourth. Here's the two-two pitch. Hanging on and hits the left
• 1:10:25
  deep but it is hooking down the line and going foul in the lower deck. They're in the twelfth
• 1:10:37
  round over in Las Vegas. From the looks of things I would guess it's been a pretty close
• 1:10:45
  fight. Royce into the windup and the two-two pitch on the way. A busted back-round ball
• 1:10:52
  to left and that's where Belanger is now for Russell and he throws the first for the outs.
• 1:10:57
  Another thing for the Dodgers tonight in filing up a nine-to-one lead they're able to let
• 1:11:02
  Russell sit it out the rest of the way. Johnny Bent is coming up. Bent struck out in the
• 1:11:11
  second inning. One out, top of the fifth, nine-to-one Dodgers. Royce delivers and is flung on and
• 1:11:22
  fouled away all in one. Dodgers scoring in every inning and the Reds having that lead
• 1:11:28
  off doubled by Eddie Milner and nothing else since. Royce is retired thirteen in a row.
• 1:11:33
  Royce comes back, oh one, and Bent shakes it low. One ball, one strike. John is hit
• 1:11:42
  and seven out of eight. Royce into the windup. The one-one pitch defense fouled away. One
• 1:11:52
  and two. Royce standing back of the rubber, thinking over his pitches. Now Jerry up on
• 1:12:06
  top. On deck is Paul Householder. Royce one-two pitch, then fouled it off again. So to repeat
• 1:12:17
  during the twelfth round over in Las Vegas if we get any news at all about it we'll pass
• 1:12:23
  it along to you. Here's the one-two pitch on the way. Fast ball, tap foul off to the
• 1:12:29
  left of the plate. One and two. The Dodgers score one in the first to tie the Reds and
• 1:12:40
  then three in the second, one in the third, and four in the fourth. Royce into the windup.
• 1:12:45
  Here's the one-two pitch on the way. Big chopper to save. Wrong glove, just steps for the
• 1:12:50
  throw and that'll do it for Bent. The Royce was still out in the fifth. Now has Paul Householder.
• 1:13:02
  So Jerry has retired fourteen in a row. Householder lost the hit on a good play by Bill Russell.
• 1:13:11
  Charging a high chopper, he had a short hopper, kind of a desperate measure type play and
• 1:13:16
  he came up with it to throw him out. Royce delivers and it's sliced to right center.
• 1:13:20
  Guerrero cruising over to handle it. Fifteen in a row retired by Jerry. He's allowed just
• 1:13:25
  to lead off double. And at the end of four and a half Dodgers nine and the Reds one.
• 1:13:30
  In round ten of the Holmes-Cuney fight, here's what happened. Jerry Cuney became more aggressive,
• 1:13:35
  landing a few blows. Holmes caught Cuney with a right in the first minute and Cuney landed
• 1:13:39
  a few blows in the first minute, mostly in the midsection. Holmes was trapped along the
• 1:13:43
  ropes until the referee broke the fighters out of the clutch. Late in that tenth round,
• 1:13:48
  the two fighters began flinging away. Cuney caught Holmes in the midsection. Holmes hit
• 1:13:54
  Cuney in the jaw. Cuney's left eye started to close up. Both fighters were tiring. Now
• 1:13:59
  for the eleventh round, let's go to ringside in Las Vegas and Tom Kelly. There's a slight
• 1:14:03
  cut in the eyebrow above the left eye of Jerry Cuney. His corner's working on it. I don't
• 1:14:08
  think it's going to be a factor by the time they decide who wins this fight. Another low
• 1:14:13
  blow in round eleven took that round away from Cuney. I don't know about Holmes, who
• 1:14:17
  suddenly looked very strong, might have won the round all by himself. But a low blow,
• 1:14:21
  and that cost Cuney a point, and a very valuable point it is, as we get into the late stages
• 1:14:26
  of this fight now, it is very close. Holmes now ahead by a point on my scorecard. He knocked
• 1:14:31
  Cuney down in the second just to recap for you. Staggered him again in the sixth, but
• 1:14:36
  in between, Cuney has been the aggressor throughout the fight. He's got Holmes now standing flat-footed
• 1:14:41
  in fighting, and Holmes looks very much every bit of his thirty-two years as the heat in
• 1:14:46
  Las Vegas is very oppressive and they get set for round twelve. I'll be back in a bit.
• 1:14:50
  We'll check in again with Tom Kelly in baseball. Darrell Porter drove in three runs tonight
• 1:14:54
  to help the St. Louis Cardinals rip the New York Mets seven to three.
• 1:14:59
  They go to the bottom of the fifth inning with the Dodgers leading a red nine to one.
• 1:15:04
  They're in the thirteenth round in Las Vegas. Both fighters appear to be pretty tired at
• 1:15:11
  this stage, and they're not really that much to report on it. The early feeling of those
• 1:15:16
  who have been watching it say that Holmes, although it is certainly unofficial, but the
• 1:15:21
  reports we seem to get that Holmes would be way out in front on points. Mark Blandger
• 1:15:27
  takes high ball one, one and oh. So Blandger, Royce, and Sacks, bottom of the fifth inning,
• 1:15:34
  nine to one in favor of the Dodgers. Schalke, the brand, and relief for Frank Pastore, and
• 1:15:38
  the pitch to Mark is high, ball two, two and oh. Blandger hitting two sixty-three. And
• 1:15:52
  Blandger hits it into center field for a base hit. So Mark Blandger opens up the fifth inning
• 1:15:58
  with the eleventh Dodger hit. In fact, everybody but Say has a base hit, and Say has a scoring
• 1:16:07
  five all, and he has two RBIs. So four runs and six hits on Charlie LeBrand and Jerry
• 1:16:15
  Royce making his way up to the plate. Royce grounded the third, and then single to right.
• 1:16:28
  When he grounded the third, he was around just a punt. He's around a punt now, and this
• 1:16:31
  time gets it down. Ben has to go to first base where Ron Oster is covering, so Royce
• 1:16:38
  makes it to first base. The style of Judges at emphasize. In round thirteen it would appear
• 1:16:45
  that Jerry Cooney has staggered and gone down. In the thirteenth round he held onto the rope
• 1:16:54
  with eleven seconds left, but he is a man in dire straits, and they have stopped the
• 1:17:03
  fight, and Holmes has just defeated Jerry Cooney. They have stopped the fight in the
• 1:17:06
  left but Cooney stumbled was almost out on his feet and they stopped it before he was seriously
• 1:17:12
  injured so that's the report. It is over in Las Vegas and Holmes the champion is the winner and
• 1:17:18
  the fish to see Saks is inside ball one. Cooney's face appeared bloodied and Holmes appeared to be
• 1:17:27
  pretty much in charge of the fight all the way. The one-oh fish to Saks is swung on and missed one and one. Saks
• 1:17:37
  walked, hit back to the box and strangled. Steve one for two. Kenny Landrow is on deck. Big night for Kenny
• 1:17:45
  not only with two hits but he hit his first home run of the year. LeBrandt out of his stretch.
• 1:17:51
  A one-one pitch to Steve Saks and that's taken low. So with Landrow hitting a home run it would mean
• 1:17:58
  that all of the regulars except Saks has a home run. Regular now.
• 1:18:10
  Two balls and one strike to Steve Saks. Dolly LeBrandt delivers a little nub of back to the
• 1:18:16
  mound. LeBrandt is able to look his man Belanger back and then throw his reason for the out.
• 1:18:22
  So two down and Kenny Landrow the batter.
• 1:18:29
  The official time of that TKO is 2 52 of the 13th round and I'm sure they will
• 1:18:35
  put the notice up on Diamond Vision at the end of this inning. So nine to one Dodgers fifth inning two out.
• 1:18:47
  LeBrandt looks in to get a sign and Landrow waiting. Charlie at the belt. Left-hander kicks, delivers
• 1:18:54
  and misses line outside. Ball one on deck Dusty Baker. The Dodgers had scored in every inning. They
• 1:19:00
  haven't scored here but they have a man in scoring position. Belanger at second base.
• 1:19:06
  One ball no strike. Charlie LeBrandt ready and the one-oh pitch is a breaking ball found away.
• 1:19:13
  Landrow hits a curve off the end of the bat. Hit it over near Dusty Baker. One and one.
• 1:19:24
  Kenny backs out for the moment now back up to the plate.
• 1:19:26
  And LeBrandt who is in relief for Frank Pastore comes back one one and the fast ball is in there.
• 1:19:31
  Strike two. One and two.
• 1:19:36
  Nine to one Dodgers in the fifth trying to snap a four game losing streak. Their longest losing streak of the year was six.
• 1:19:47
  And the one-two pitch on the way Landrow pulls it foul outside of first and down the line.
• 1:19:52
  Frank Pastore went two innings but Dodgers scored five times. Actually they four times and then they hit for him.
• 1:20:06
  The next pitch to Landrow missing ball two. Two and two to count.
• 1:20:09
  Nine to one Dodgers bottom of the fifth. LeBrandt looks in to get a sign from Alex Trevino and Charlie is ready.
• 1:20:18
  The two-two pitch to Landrow is taken outside ball three. Three and two.
• 1:20:25
  Nine runs to the count.
• 1:20:27
  And Charlie is ready. The two-two pitch to Landrow is taken outside ball three. Three and two.
• 1:20:33
  Nine runs to eleven hits including a home run by Landrow and a double by Guerrero.
• 1:20:43
  The three-two pitch on the way is flight to left down the field. Coming in a hurry is Milner but it not only lands it goes all the way to the fence.
• 1:20:51
  The Landrow will score. Landrow will be in the third standing and it is ten to one Dodgers. A triple for Kenny.
• 1:21:11
  The ten-one Dodgers will pause the station identification.
• 1:21:14
  This is the American Forces radio and television service.
• 1:21:24
  So the Dodgers really rolling it up now ten to one having been thumped the other night by Atlanta you remember.
• 1:21:30
  And Dusty Baker takes the strike so the Dodgers continue to make it look like a telephone number as they score in every inning.
• 1:21:38
  Here's the strike one pitch on the way and Baker drives it to right center and Milner on his horse for this one and makes the running catch for the outs.
• 1:21:47
  The Dodgers get a run on two hits and at the end of five Dodgers ten reds one.
• 1:21:52
  Let's have the final wrap up of that fight from Las Vegas and once again here's Tom Kelley.
• 1:22:01
  Well the man who claimed he got no respect as heavyweight champion of the world, Jerry, has just gained the respect I think of the entire boxing fraternity.
• 1:22:09
  When he knocked out Jerry Cooney the undefeated champion of the world, he was the only one left to fight.
• 1:22:16
  He has just gained the respect I think of the entire boxing fraternity when he knocked out Jerry Cooney the undefeated challenger.
• 1:22:23
  It will be down in the books about 253 of round number 13 as I'm sure a constant barrage of lefts and rights in the 13th round.
• 1:22:31
  The debilitating heat in Las Vegas and a champion bent on continuing as champion in the heavyweight division just refused to let the talented challenger take the crown away from him.
• 1:22:41
  It's kind of a madhouse scene in the ring in Las Vegas. We had Holmes ahead by three points 116 to 113.
• 1:22:48
  Going into this the 13th round it became very evident soon into the 13th round that Cooney had literally run out of gas.
• 1:22:55
  The heat, the distance, the toughness of the champion all those playing an important part.
• 1:22:59
  Not that Holmes will want to go to the dance tonight. Don't misunderstand me.
• 1:23:02
  He's had a very very tough evening under extreme boxing conditions but he was very much the best man here tonight.
• 1:23:08
  And he proved if nothing else that he is a champion worthy of being called that.
• 1:23:12
  He is now without a loss he has 30 knockouts and 40 victories and he retains his title with his 12th title defense.
• 1:23:21
  He has beaten everybody and in the 13th round carry he literally without stop battered Cooney into the ring ropes.
• 1:23:29
  Cooney a game tough kid went half way down pulled himself back up.
• 1:23:33
  And Victor Valley who is more like a father than a trainer with this young contender and challenger jumped into the ring, stopped Holmes and stopped the official and stopped the fight.
• 1:23:43
  Tom Kelly reporting from ringside again Larry Holland remains the World Boxing Council Heavyweight Champion stopping Jerry Cooney in the 13th round in Las Vegas.
• 1:23:53
  For the post fight items coming up perhaps a comment or two from Larry Holmes or the trainer.
• 1:23:58
  We'll keep you abreast of what's happening right now let's go back to the ball game in Las Vegas.
• 1:24:01
  Here's Ben Scully.
• 1:24:10
  Final score Kansas City with a run in the 12th inning beat Seattle 3 to 2 Quishenberry over Vandiver.
• 1:24:19
  We'll have a hitter now coming up for Charlie LeBrand so that means Bob Shirley will be coming in.
• 1:24:30
  Dwayne Walker will be batting Fort Lee Brand.
• 1:24:36
  Dwayne Walker.
• 1:24:47
  Walker hitting 200 he's only had 10 at bat.
• 1:24:53
  And he's 2 for 10.
• 1:24:55
  Quite a hurdle you might remember was the opening day outfielder for Cincinnati who failed to cut it.
• 1:25:05
  And when a hurdle was sent down they brought Dwayne Walker up.
• 1:25:09
  Left hand batter and Royce ready and bounces one in the dirt ball one.
• 1:25:16
  Dwayne Walker is from Pasadena Texas.
• 1:25:26
  He's been in the minors since 1976 swings and grounds one wide at first to Garvey.
• 1:25:31
  The one to hand to Royce coming over that's 17 in a row.
• 1:25:35
  Now that takes care of Dwayne Walker and it'll bring up Ed Milner.
• 1:25:40
  Milner opened up the ball game and doubled the left center field.
• 1:25:50
  That's the only hit and the only man to get a board for the Reds.
• 1:25:55
  Royce has gotten everybody since.
• 1:26:02
  Having retired 17 in a row with two out in the sixth inning he'll concentrate on Milner.
• 1:26:08
  Double and slide to right.
• 1:26:10
  Jerry delivers off speed for a strike in the count of one.
• 1:26:16
  Milner's the fellow who played winter ball in Valenzuela.
• 1:26:19
  And was recommended by Concepcion to bounce her down to Belanger who throws and got him on a good play.
• 1:26:27
  Mark Belanger nipping Eddie Milner at first base.
• 1:26:31
  And at the end of five and a half Jerry Royce is retired 18 in a row and the Dodgers lead 10 to one.
• 1:26:42
  Okay let's come back and check some baseball scores.
• 1:26:45
  Again as you heard a while ago and just joining us Larry Holmes remains the World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.
• 1:26:51
  Stopping Jerry Cooney in the 13th round.
• 1:26:54
  The fight was stopped about two minutes into the round as Holmes sent Cooney to the canvas for the second time in the ball.
• 1:27:00
  This is Niner and Cooney when the challenger went down.
• 1:27:03
  Again we're hoping to have some comments from the fighters or some of the people there at ringside and we'll be checking in in a few moments.
• 1:27:09
  Meanwhile baseball.
• 1:27:10
  Bruce Keeson retired the first 19 batters he faced for the California Angels who had to hang on to beat the Chicago White Sox 6 to 5.
• 1:27:18
  Keeson had a perfect game until Tony Bernisarge won out triples in the seventh inning.
• 1:27:23
  He was yanked after Bill Allman's two run double in the eighth.
• 1:27:26
  Corbett finally got the save after Harold Barnes had gotten a hit off of him.
• 1:27:32
  We'll go back to more scores right now let's go back to the Dodgers game.
• 1:27:41
  Tomorrow night it will be Bob Welk pitching for the Dodgers and Greg Harris for the Reds.
• 1:27:45
  And Sunday afternoon Burt Huston will go against Cincinnati's Bruce Bernis.
• 1:27:49
  He'll have a general admission seat on a guaranteed seat basis available for both games of the Dodgers advanced ticket office 1750 Stadium Way and a ball ticket run and mutual outlifts.
• 1:27:58
  We'll be with them.
• 1:27:59
  The Dodgers and Reds tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon.
• 1:28:06
  We're going to the bottom of the sixth inning.
• 1:28:08
  Ten runs, 12 hits.
• 1:28:10
  No errors for the Dodgers.
• 1:28:12
  One run, one hit.
• 1:28:13
  No errors for the Reds.
• 1:28:15
  The story denied it for us.
• 1:28:17
  Henry Royce pitching a gem and the Dodgers hitters having a field day.
• 1:28:23
  Jolly LeFranc went out for the 10 hitters so Bob surely will pick up.
• 1:28:28
  And in the sixth inning the Dodgers will have Pedro Guerrero who started off.
• 1:28:40
  Corbett Baranca is now at second base.
• 1:28:43
  Ron Oster takes over at shortstop.
• 1:28:47
  And Bob Shirley ready to pitch.
• 1:28:50
  Guerrero has doubled and warped twice.
• 1:28:54
  So they get some depth here on the Reds.
• 1:28:57
  And the pitcher Guerrero mounted sharply to Oster at shortstop and Ronan throws him out.
• 1:29:02
  The Dodgers get the first man and the hitter is Steve Garvey.
• 1:29:06
  They can put Baranca in the number three spot.
• 1:29:11
  And the new pitcher Bob Shirley.
• 1:29:17
  Ten to one Dodgers here in the sixth inning.
• 1:29:21
  Garvey tonight bides a right hander.
• 1:29:24
  And the Dodgers are in the sixth inning.
• 1:29:27
  And the Reds are in the sixth inning.
• 1:29:30
  Garvey tonight bides a right.
• 1:29:32
  Hitter on the single to left and a blue single to right.
• 1:29:35
  But it knocks in two runs.
• 1:29:43
  Shirley comes back with a pitch that's fouled away.
• 1:29:46
  And the count's one and one.
• 1:29:49
  The one-one pitch to Garvey.
• 1:29:54
  Shirley delivers low.
• 1:29:56
  Ball deep.
• 1:29:57
  Two and one.
• 1:29:58
  Bob Shirley of course.
• 1:29:59
  You remember when he pitched at San Diego.
• 1:30:01
  Two and one to count to Garvey.
• 1:30:04
  With one away in the sixth inning.
• 1:30:06
  Shirley delivers.
• 1:30:07
  Line outside.
• 1:30:08
  Ball three.
• 1:30:09
  Three and one.
• 1:30:10
  We need a strike on the scoreboard.
• 1:30:13
  And played up by Bob.
• 1:30:15
  Davidson is trying to correct the press box.
• 1:30:19
  Three-one pitch.
• 1:30:20
  Garvey's not ready.
• 1:30:21
  He backs out.
• 1:30:23
  Dodgers have scored in every inning tonight.
• 1:30:27
  Every time you get a game like that, which is rare, where you see a team score in every inning.
• 1:30:34
  Three-one pitch.
• 1:30:35
  Garvey takes his life.
• 1:30:37
  I always remember Charlie Feeney, the Pittsburgh writer, tongue in cheek saying,
• 1:30:42
  I don't know why, but they only let me cover one basketball game.
• 1:30:46
  Here's a three-two pitch to Garvey.
• 1:30:48
  He's felt it, but it kind of hooks out on the line out of play.
• 1:30:51
  Feeney said, I don't know why the deck was annoyed.
• 1:30:54
  He said, I thought my lead was a good one.
• 1:30:56
  He began it in covering a basketball game, scoring in every period.
• 1:31:00
  Meanwhile, the Dodgers scoring in every inning, leading ten to one.
• 1:31:05
  Ron Say on deck, and Bob Shirley, three-two pitch, a high drive in the deep left center field, and Garvey has hit it out.
• 1:31:16
  The field Garvey, in his sixth all-nighter of the year, his last all-nighter was against the Cardinals.
• 1:31:45
  And we send along a $50 book of Union All-Orders system, a carb home for boys in Los Angeles.
• 1:31:52
  One and all to counter Ron Say.
• 1:31:55
  So the Dodgers now are home run by Landrow and Garvey, continue to score in every inning, leading 11 to one.
• 1:32:02
  The pitch over for a strike, one and one.
• 1:32:05
  In checking Garvey, we told you the home run is St. Louis, and that means now that's the first home run he has hit here in Los Angeles.
• 1:32:13
  Here's the one-one pitch, and Say takes five, all-two.
• 1:32:17
  So Garvey with six home runs, and he reaches the deep left center.
• 1:32:26
  Shirley ready in the two-one pitch.
• 1:32:28
  Say hits it to the dead center, and that's where Milner is.
• 1:32:31
  So that means if Ron is still the only starter without a hit, but he does have a couple of runs batted in.
• 1:32:38
  And the batter is Mike Socha.
• 1:32:40
  For Shirley, it's only the second home run he's allowed.
• 1:32:45
  But Chodo and Sievers have allowed 18.
• 1:32:52
  And Pastore, when he gave up the home run, the Landrow is now allowed eight.
• 1:32:57
  Those you say five.
• 1:32:59
  So the Cincinnati pitchers have allowed 36 home runs.
• 1:33:04
  Dodgers pitchers have allowed 24.
• 1:33:11
  Now ball to the right side, and Germany Beranka picks it up and throws him out, and the Dodgers get a run.
• 1:33:17
  And at the end of six, Dodgers 11, Reds one.
• 1:33:21
  Now an update from ABC News. I'm John Deggans.
• 1:33:24
  A ceasefire between Israel and Syria appears to be holding in Lebanon tonight, and fighting between Israel and PLO forces is also reportedly stopped.
• 1:33:31
  U.S. intelligence sources, however, say Syria has massed some 20,000 troops near the Lebanese border.
• 1:33:37
  President Reagan arrived home from a 10-day European trip this evening, telling a huge crowd at Andrews Air Force Base his goals were accomplished and that America has the respect of its allies.
• 1:33:46
  America has a lot of friends in the world.
• 1:33:50
  Yes, there were demonstrators who didn't agree with some of our policies.
• 1:33:54
  But I can tell you that in every city, the streets were lined wherever they went with people cheering America and most of them waving American flags.
• 1:34:05
  President Reagan, Argentina clients, British war clients, flired air-to-ground missiles at an Argentine hospital ship anchored at Fort Stanley, but that neither missile hit its target.
• 1:34:13
  No reaction to that charge from the British government.
• 1:34:16
  I'm John Deggans, ABC News.
• 1:34:19
  Let's update the baseball scoreboard finals in the National League Pittsburgh. Shutout, Clenox, you're one to nothing.
• 1:34:24
  Montreal outscored the Chicago Cubs 9-8, and St. Louis down to New York Mets 7-3.
• 1:34:30
  After 5, San Diego is ahead of Houston 3-2, and after 3-1 half, it's Atlanta 5, San Francisco 1.
• 1:34:37
  Finals of the American League, Boston 6, Cleveland 2. Baltimore triumphed over New York 9-4.
• 1:34:43
  It was Toronto 2-0-1, Milwaukee 8, Detroit 6, and California beat Chicago 6-5. The next ratings after 11-1-2, Seattle 2, Kansas City 2.
• 1:34:53
  7-10 in a one-sided game. The Dodgers 11 and the Reds 1.
• 1:34:58
  And before play, here's Gary.
• 1:35:00
  2-10 for the Dodgers. Now Ron Runnickie goes to the left field, so Dusty Baker gets two rest of the night off.
• 1:35:05
  And here is Ron Oster, who's now playing a shortstop, what German Varancadou on deck, and then Dan Griesen.
• 1:35:13
  And Jerry Royce rocks into the windup, and his pick on the way is a bouncing ball to third, Sakeham's in, nice play, throws and gutting.
• 1:35:19
  And that is 19 in a row.
• 1:35:25
  Retired by Jerry Royce after the leadoff double by Milner. And here is Varancadou, German Varancadou, went into the ball, came for Concepcion in the batting order, and then moved over to second base.
• 1:35:37
  Varancadou coming on.
• 1:35:44
  And Royce after that initial leadoff double. Milner opened up with a double, took third on the sacrifice, and scored on the ground out. And that's been it for the Reds so far.
• 1:35:56
  Here's the windup and the pick on the way, there's a left-hand batter in there for a strike going one.
• 1:36:11
  Next pitch is a strike, going two.
• 1:36:25
  Going two counts of Varancas.
• 1:36:28
  The runner ball is a little high for a ball.
• 1:36:43
  It's about to pull foul off to the left out of play.
• 1:36:54
  Two counts still up there.
• 1:36:58
  We have one out in the seventh inning.
• 1:37:05
  There's a swing and a foul off his fifth right back into the screen.
• 1:37:19
  Wind drive is saved for the out. A lunging towards left the hall, that one down for the second out, two away.
• 1:37:29
  And out of the batter, Dan Griesen.
• 1:37:33
  Jerry Royce has already picked a one-hitter this year, and it was a first-inning double, given up to Artaud the Astros in a game at Dodger Stadium on the 21st of April.
• 1:37:47
  Here's the pitch on the way to Griesen, fast ball is in there.
• 1:37:52
  Second little low, one ball and no strikes.
• 1:37:56
  Royce trying to regain the form that he had earlier in the year, and the 1-0 pitch on the way.
• 1:38:00
  Griesen looks to that was a little low ball too, two balls and no strikes.
• 1:38:07
  Royce made four starts against the Reds last year, there's one and 0 against them.
• 1:38:11
  And he has a 4-1 record at home this year.
• 1:38:14
  He's trying to run that now up to five and one. Strikes on a fast ball, two and one.
• 1:38:20
  Two balls and one strike, we're in the top of the seventh inning, the Dodgers leading a breezy 11-1, they scored in every inning.
• 1:38:27
  A three-run second to the four-run fourth of the highlight inning.
• 1:38:31
  Now the two-one pitch. Griesen trying to punch misses, that is strike two, two and two.
• 1:38:37
  Griesen trying to do what he can to get on base and get something rolling, but the Reds are ten runs behind.
• 1:38:42
  The Dodgers are out of the field, they're drilled by a set number for Atlanta the other night.
• 1:38:46
  There's a breaking ball, a little bit low, ball free, and Royce is annoyed with the rookie umpire at the plate, Bob Davidson.
• 1:38:54
  He came a little side-armed to Griesen that time and thought that he had him struck out.
• 1:38:58
  A three-two pitch on the way, over the top, bouncing ball over the mound.
• 1:39:03
  And up with it is Solange, throws the first in time on the side of the side, and Royce is retired 21 in a row.
• 1:39:09
  And the score going to the bottom of the seventh inning, Dodgers 11 and the Reds 1.
• 1:39:14
  Good news here for our engineer, the old Kansas Flash Jeff Valdez.
• 1:39:20
  Mark Moorman and Dave Lucas knocked in two runs apiece, the sixth run Wichita State third inning today.
• 1:39:26
  The face of Shocker is an eight to four victory over the Longhorns of Texas,
• 1:39:30
  thus eliminating the Longhorns from the College World Series.
• 1:39:33
  The sixth run uprising came after the pre-tournament's favorite Longhorns had taken a two-to-one lead,
• 1:39:38
  and they're half of the first.
• 1:39:41
  Wichita State pitcher Brian Okers went the distance allowing nine hits and striking out seven.
• 1:39:46
  Three of those hits came on the first when Texas scored twice on Jeff Herman's single.
• 1:39:52
  Texas now 59-6, scored its final run on the fourth inning when Mike Livermore led off the inning with a single,
• 1:39:59
  later scored on Tracy Dover's single.
• 1:40:02
  So again, the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, Wichita State has eliminated the Texas Longhorns,
• 1:40:10
  eight to four will now meet the University of Miami Hurricanes.
• 1:40:14
  They're undefeated in the playoff.
• 1:40:17
  Jan Stevenson shot her second consecutive three under par 69 Friday,
• 1:40:21
  grabbed the second round lead from the $200,000 LPGA Championship at Kings Island, Ohio.
• 1:40:28
  Steven Zunou shared the first round lead with Therese Hezzen and Beth Daniel.
• 1:40:33
  Ranner's spring of bogeyed lip holes, a 29, grew to a 36-hole score of six under par 138,
• 1:40:40
  one shot better than Daniel.
• 1:40:44
  We'll have a baseball update when we come back.
• 1:40:46
  Right now, let's go back to Jerry Doggett.
• 1:40:48
  Here's Mark Belanger at bat now to play on the bottom of the seventh inning,
• 1:40:52
  and he takes the first pitch for the Shirley down low one ball on those strikes.
• 1:40:56
  He'll land it for his dad's first base for 690, and Johnny Bench is out for the rest of the evening.
• 1:41:02
  And Belanger tops one foul along the first base line, one ball, one strike.
• 1:41:06
  Mark came into the game in the fifth inning for Billy Russell.
• 1:41:10
  He's singled and scored on Landro's triple.
• 1:41:13
  Landro has a chance to hit for the cycle tonight.
• 1:41:16
  Here's the pitch outside football, and the count is two and one.
• 1:41:18
  Kenny has a home run, a single and a triple.
• 1:41:21
  He'll be up here one more turn.
• 1:41:23
  He's eliciting an extra day looking for a double.
• 1:41:25
  Belanger bounces a foul.
• 1:41:27
  Curveball was in on the fifth and Mark fouled it away.
• 1:41:30
  Two and two is the count.
• 1:41:33
  Two balls, two strikes.
• 1:41:35
  The game is in the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 1:41:37
  The Dodgers have scored in everything.
• 1:41:40
  And it's not that poor game losing streak.
• 1:41:49
  Next pitch.
• 1:41:51
  He's out of the way, count holding it two and two.
• 1:41:57
  Two balls, two strikes.
• 1:42:00
  Certainly delivers.
• 1:42:01
  Belanger fouls another one back in the count holding it two and two.
• 1:42:04
  Jerry Royce is out on deck.
• 1:42:08
  Royce has been absolutely magnificent tonight,
• 1:42:11
  and he pitched a good game in St. Louis last time out.
• 1:42:14
  So that brings smiles to the face of Tommy Lasorda,
• 1:42:16
  who's been a little bit beleaguered lately.
• 1:42:18
  The Dodgers have been down in the gold room.
• 1:42:20
  He can get Royce and Utsu spread away.
• 1:42:22
  That will really be a big help.
• 1:42:24
  Here's the free two-pitch.
• 1:42:25
  Mark lines one to left field.
• 1:42:27
  Coming up the veil makes the catch for the out.
• 1:42:29
  Belanger hit it hard but right to the left fielder.
• 1:42:31
  One down.
• 1:42:32
  And here's Jerry Royce.
• 1:42:33
  Royce and Wysi are 21 in a row after a leadoff double to Milner.
• 1:42:49
  Royce is at it, and Royce tonight has single score to run sacrifice.
• 1:42:53
  He had two hits in his last game at St. Louis, including an RBI.
• 1:42:57
  Backs away for fastball on the knuckles.
• 1:42:59
  One ball and no strikes.
• 1:43:01
  One-oh to count.
• 1:43:03
  Royce backing up.
• 1:43:06
  Bob Shirley out of Oklahoma into the windup.
• 1:43:09
  And the pitch to Royce in there for a strike and it's one and one.
• 1:43:13
  One ball, one strike.
• 1:43:14
  Dodgers 11 and the Reds have one.
• 1:43:17
  And we're in the bottom of the seventh inning.
• 1:43:20
  Royce swings at a fastball, one and two.
• 1:43:24
  Surely for a number of years with San Diego, then with St. Louis and now with the Reds.
• 1:43:30
  The one-two pitch on the way.
• 1:43:32
  Royce puts it one low inside ball, two-two and two.
• 1:43:35
  Two balls and two strikes.
• 1:43:38
  The Dodgers 13 hits on deck of Steve's back.
• 1:43:44
  Now the two-two pitch, line fouled into the lower stands behind the auxiliary scoreboard in left field.
• 1:43:51
  So Royce was around late into the two-and-two count still up there.
• 1:44:00
  Two-and-two to Jerry.
• 1:44:02
  Shirley ready in the pitch.
• 1:44:04
  Took him out on a high fastball.
• 1:44:07
  Shirley gets a strike out his first of the game.
• 1:44:10
  And as Royce goes back to the bench, a ripple of applause for the fans.
• 1:44:14
  And here's Steve's back.
• 1:44:16
  He's walked, rounded out for an RBI and single.
• 1:44:19
  Sacksy is one for three in the game.
• 1:44:22
  And his batting average is at 300.
• 1:44:28
  Sack's at 71-base-if.
• 1:44:34
  And that leads to the league.
• 1:44:38
  Here's the pitch for a strike going one.
• 1:44:43
  Meanwhile, Atlanta is winning easily at San Francisco.
• 1:44:46
  So the Dodgers not making up any ground on the Braves,
• 1:44:49
  but they're at least getting a lot of satisfaction of snapping their three.
• 1:44:52
  Fastball is a strike going two to the countdown.
• 1:44:57
  Sacksy, 20 RBIs on the year.
• 1:45:02
  And the pitch.
• 1:45:03
  Taken outside for ball.
• 1:45:05
  Landrell has four RBIs tonight.
• 1:45:09
  And that gives him 17 for the year.
• 1:45:12
  Bob Shirley working a one-and-two pitch on the way.
• 1:45:15
  Sack loops a foul into the fans behind home plate.
• 1:45:19
  And now the one-and-two.
• 1:45:27
  One ball, two strikes with two men out.
• 1:45:30
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:45:32
  Breaking ball right on his belt.
• 1:45:34
  And a two-and-two.
• 1:45:36
  Sacksy had to pull out of there on that one.
• 1:45:38
  That surely gave him a pretty good slider in sight.
• 1:45:42
  Two balls, two strikes, two outs.
• 1:45:50
  And the windup man, the pitch on the way.
• 1:45:53
  And it's George Stott's hot-file.
• 1:45:55
  It's turned aside as retired.
• 1:45:57
  So for the first time tonight, the Dodgers go out in order.
• 1:46:00
  And the score at the end of seven innings,
• 1:46:02
  the Reds have one.
• 1:46:04
  Again on the big fight at Las Vegas on Friday night,
• 1:46:06
  Larry Holmes scored a 13th round CKO over Jerry Cooney
• 1:46:10
  to retain the WBC Heavyweight crown.
• 1:46:13
  The moment in Las Vegas was stopped with eight seconds left
• 1:46:15
  in round 13 as the Holmes explored Cooney
• 1:46:18
  for the second time in the fight.
• 1:46:20
  Cooney got up, cut over his left eye and his nose
• 1:46:23
  were reopened by a barrage from Holmes.
• 1:46:26
  Referee Mills blamed and stopped the fight.
• 1:46:28
  Holmes had retained his crown.
• 1:46:31
  Holmes sent Cooney to the canvas in the second round
• 1:46:33
  with a right but thunder challenger.
• 1:46:35
  Holmes also opened the chest over Cooney's left eye and nose
• 1:46:38
  in round six and seven.
• 1:46:40
  The victory is the 40th of Holmes' professional career
• 1:46:42
  without a defeat, which is 30th by knockout.
• 1:46:46
  It's the 12th time a 32-year-old fighter from Eastern Pennsylvania
• 1:46:50
  has descended the crown with 11 of those wins by KO.
• 1:46:53
  For the 25-year-old Cooney from Huntington, New York,
• 1:46:56
  it was his first pro-loss in 26 bouts.
• 1:46:59
  The fight took place at the makeshift stadium
• 1:47:01
  at Caesar's Colous Hotel in Las Vegas.
• 1:47:04
  Well, we've played seven innings of the ball game.
• 1:47:08
  For the Dodgers now, we have a change in right field.
• 1:47:11
  Darrell Thomas will go in for Guerrero.
• 1:47:14
  Thomas in right field.
• 1:47:16
  That change will be made as we go to the eighth inning.
• 1:47:19
  And the attendance tonight is 37,586.
• 1:47:23
  And tomorrow night, it will be Greg Maris, local product,
• 1:47:27
  coming in to the Dodgers stadium to go against Bob Welk.
• 1:47:30
  And on Sunday, it will be Bruce Perenny
• 1:47:32
  for the Reds against Virgil.
• 1:47:35
  11 to 1 Dodgers lead.
• 1:47:36
  Ain't any more play.
• 1:47:37
  Let's go back to them.
• 1:47:38
  All right, Jerry, as some of the regulars being rested
• 1:47:41
  on each side in this runaway 11 to 1 Dodger game,
• 1:47:46
  Mike Vail, Ben Raphael Landisoy, and Paul Householder.
• 1:47:53
  So the Dodgers were scrambled by Atlanta 11 to 5,
• 1:47:56
  and now they come back to knock the wheels off the Reds 11 to 1.
• 1:48:02
  Mike Vail stuck it out and ground it out.
• 1:48:05
  Waves at a pitch and doesn't get it 0 and 1.
• 1:48:11
  The Cincinnati Reds came in here with 32 defeats.
• 1:48:16
  One reason why, of course, they're in the cellar in the west.
• 1:48:20
  Here's the Psych 1 fish on the way.
• 1:48:22
  Lifted to Darrell Thomas in right field.
• 1:48:24
  He is right there, puts it in the basket, runaway.
• 1:48:30
  And Raphael Landisoy coming up.
• 1:48:33
  The two great teams, the Reds had.
• 1:48:35
  I mean, they really did.
• 1:48:36
  They were back in 1975 and 76.
• 1:48:40
  In 1976, the Reds didn't lose their 32nd game until July 10th.
• 1:48:48
  And in 1975, the team had played that electrifying World Series
• 1:48:52
  with the Boston Reds on.
• 1:48:54
  They didn't lose their 32nd game that year until July the 20th.
• 1:49:00
  So they are very much off their feet, and you can understand why.
• 1:49:04
  The older players have gotten much older, and they lost their outfield.
• 1:49:09
  The fish to Landisoy a strike, an account on one.
• 1:49:13
  I mean, Foster and Griffey and Collins go.
• 1:49:16
  It's pretty tough to replace them right away.
• 1:49:19
  The Psych 1 fish on the way, Kirkball hit over the mound,
• 1:49:22
  charging it at Saks backhand, planks it up, and throws out Landisoy.
• 1:49:27
  So that's 23 in a row, grid fired by Jerry Royce.
• 1:49:31
  Twenty-three.
• 1:49:33
  Give it all up over.
• 1:49:36
  Boy, would there be some drama in this game tonight
• 1:49:38
  had Eddie Milner not opened up the game with a double.
• 1:49:41
  Royce has gotten everybody tense.
• 1:49:45
  Householder grounded out, fly to right.
• 1:49:47
  Ball is over two, hitting 167.
• 1:49:53
  And the fish to Paul, Kirkball for a strike.
• 1:49:57
  Householder weighs 180, so he's having one of those nightmare years
• 1:50:02
  where he is in truth not hitting his weight.
• 1:50:05
  For a strike, one fish on the way.
• 1:50:07
  He takes in the dirt, one ball, one strike.
• 1:50:09
  All part of the seasoning process, despite all your glistening credentials
• 1:50:14
  in the minor leagues, you finally come to the big leagues,
• 1:50:17
  and the act that is applied.
• 1:50:20
  Some hold up and some never do.
• 1:50:22
  One-one fish on the way, fouled off, one and two to count.
• 1:50:28
  We were talking at the very start of the game about how,
• 1:50:32
  despite how poorly the Dodgers have been playing,
• 1:50:36
  we're saying how quickly they could turn it around.
• 1:50:40
  Royce could come back and find the groove, the one-two fish
• 1:50:44
  is a ground foul outside of third.
• 1:50:46
  If Hooton is okay, the rest of them think it'll be okay.
• 1:50:49
  Ballums well and welts.
• 1:50:54
  Of course, the 11 runs, 13 hits tonight,
• 1:50:56
  that will really puff up the clubhouse.
• 1:50:59
  Now the one-two fish on the way.
• 1:51:01
  Royce delivers half-swing, strike three.
• 1:51:04
  24 in a row, retired by Jerry Royce.
• 1:51:07
  He has allowed the leadoff double.
• 1:51:09
  At the end of seven and a half, down into 11, red one.
• 1:51:13
  Royce Floyd is the leader.
• 1:51:15
  After Friday's second round of the Memphis Draw Classic,
• 1:51:18
  Floyd came up with a four under par 68 today,
• 1:51:21
  and is in at nine under par at 135 with 36 balls.
• 1:51:25
  That's three shots better than runner-up Mark Lyle,
• 1:51:28
  who started the day trying for the lead with Floyd,
• 1:51:31
  but could only come up with a 71.
• 1:51:33
  Jim Nelford, Hal Sutton, and Mike Pollan are third,
• 1:51:37
  and he's going to find Floyd.
• 1:51:39
  Nelford at a nine under par 63,
• 1:51:42
  including a record-trying six under par 30 on the back nine.
• 1:51:46
  And at Marlboro, Massachusetts,
• 1:51:48
  Art Wall fired a course record-trying five under par 66 Friday.
• 1:51:52
  The catcher, Arnold Palmer,
• 1:51:54
  was here as the lead at the two rounds
• 1:51:56
  of the $150,000 Marlboro Classic Senior Tournament.
• 1:52:00
  First round co-leader Sam Snead has qualified himself
• 1:52:04
  after signing an incorrect scorecard.
• 1:52:06
  Snead, who had turned in a 74,
• 1:52:08
  gave himself a par four in the 15 hole instead of a bogey five.
• 1:52:13
  Charlie Ones, a club pro from Santa Florida,
• 1:52:15
  and Billy Casper at 141.
• 1:52:18
  Even par 142, along with defending champion Bob Goldie,
• 1:52:21
  are Peter Thompson and Bill Johnson.
• 1:52:24
  The Watkins Glen Grind Free Association announced Friday
• 1:52:27
  that no summer auto races will be held this year
• 1:52:30
  at the world-famous Road Racing Circuit.
• 1:52:32
  The Association's executive director, Malcolm Carey,
• 1:52:35
  claimed the cancellation on continuing financial
• 1:52:38
  and legal problems for the circuit
• 1:52:40
  in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
• 1:52:45
  At the bottom of the eighth inning,
• 1:52:47
  the Dodgers are 11 and the Reds 1.
• 1:52:49
  And we'll pause the state identification.
• 1:52:51
  This is the Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network.
• 1:52:54
  And this is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.
• 1:53:06
  In the eighth inning, Kenny Landrow,
• 1:53:08
  having his first big game in quite a while,
• 1:53:11
  he has a single, a triple, and a home run.
• 1:53:16
  And not surely delivered in the first one-strike,
• 1:53:19
  on deck is Ron Renneke and Engel Comin.
• 1:53:25
  Now there's like one fish on the way.
• 1:53:27
  There's a five-holder right field.
• 1:53:29
  A householder is there, and that'll do it to Landrow.
• 1:53:32
  So one out in the eighth inning.
• 1:53:34
  And Ron Renneke will be coming up.
• 1:53:36
  Ron Renneke.
• 1:53:38
  A little cooler.
• 1:53:40
  Renneke hitting 263.
• 1:53:44
  Ron will hit right into the court against Curley.
• 1:53:48
  And his average of 263 is based primarily on his success
• 1:53:52
  at the left-handed batter.
• 1:53:54
  Right-handed, he's only hitting 150.
• 1:53:57
  The pitch join, a little high ball on it, one and all.
• 1:54:02
  The Dodgers, having a four-game losing streak.
• 1:54:06
  One old fish, Ron Renneke, is rounded up one third,
• 1:54:09
  right behind the badgers.
• 1:54:10
  Landis-Groyde, throwing out.
• 1:54:14
  Two out of the eighth inning.
• 1:54:16
  Engel Comin finishing up for Pedro Guerrero.
• 1:54:21
  Tonight, Sacks went one for four.
• 1:54:25
  Landrow had a single triple and home run.
• 1:54:28
  Dusty Baker had one hit.
• 1:54:31
  He went one for five.
• 1:54:33
  One for four.
• 1:54:35
  Guerrero had a double and a couple of walks.
• 1:54:38
  Barby, two singles and a home run.
• 1:54:42
  Say is the only man without a hit,
• 1:54:44
  but he has a couple of RBI's on an infield out
• 1:54:47
  and a scoring five-all.
• 1:54:49
  Sosha has one hit.
• 1:54:51
  Russell had a base hit and Blander had one.
• 1:54:55
  The pitch to Thomas Fishing, ball one, one and all.
• 1:54:57
  And Jerry Royce has a base hit.
• 1:55:00
  The one old fish on the way.
• 1:55:02
  And Darrell, 20 to hit the right field.
• 1:55:04
  Householder is there.
• 1:55:05
  So the Dodgers go quietly.
• 1:55:07
  And at the end of eighth, the Dodgers 11, red one.
• 1:55:10
  Final score in San Diego.
• 1:55:12
  The Dodgers have defeated Houston at final six to two.
• 1:55:15
  They did it with six runs, seven hits and three errors,
• 1:55:17
  while the Astros had two runs, six hits and no misuse.
• 1:55:20
  Lawler is the winner.
• 1:55:22
  He's now six and one.
• 1:55:24
  Sutton, a loser, seven and three.
• 1:55:27
  So a step for the Atlanta-San Francisco game.
• 1:55:29
  All finals are in.
• 1:55:30
  That ball game after six.
• 1:55:33
  It is Atlanta five and San Francisco three.
• 1:55:37
  We'll check the standings in a few minutes
• 1:55:39
  and see how things look at the moment.
• 1:55:42
  Again, through the other games played earlier,
• 1:55:45
  Jerry Martin's RBI single with 12th innings
• 1:55:48
  gave the Kansas City Royals a 3-2 victory
• 1:55:50
  over the Seattle Mariners.
• 1:55:52
  In Milwaukee, Paul Molotov scored the go-ahead run
• 1:55:55
  on Kirk Gibson's wild throw of the eighth
• 1:55:57
  to spark the Milwaukee Brewers
• 1:55:59
  to an eight to six victory over the Detroit Tigers.
• 1:56:02
  In the American League at Baltimore,
• 1:56:04
  Gary Runnick and Cal Ripken
• 1:56:05
  blasted first hitting homers back to back
• 1:56:08
  to the Baltimore Orioles
• 1:56:09
  down the New York Yankees nine to four.
• 1:56:12
  Well, we come to the ninth inning
• 1:56:14
  where the Dodgers leading the Reds 11 to one.
• 1:56:18
  Jerry Royce tuning up,
• 1:56:20
  and of course he's retired 24 in a row.
• 1:56:23
  But he is guy of the perfecto
• 1:56:25
  because he gave up the leadoff double to Eddie Milner.
• 1:56:28
  He's got everybody after the double.
• 1:56:30
  He'll be pitching to Alex Berlino,
• 1:56:34
  who will have a hitter for Bob Shirley.
• 1:56:40
  Larry Bittner is going to come out on deck,
• 1:56:42
  so Bittner will be hitting for Shirley.
• 1:56:46
  And then it will be Ed Milner.
• 1:56:48
  Trevino has grounded a short
• 1:56:50
  and fouled out to Royce.
• 1:56:52
  Right-hand-hitting catcher, 0 for 2,
• 1:56:54
  waves at a fastball in the count of 0 and 1.
• 1:56:59
  Royce with six strikeouts tonight
• 1:57:01
  and has not walked about it.
• 1:57:03
  Yeah, he ended up winding up now to strike one pitch,
• 1:57:06
  and that's popped in the air.
• 1:57:07
  Sacks going out to get it, calling that he has it,
• 1:57:10
  and he's true to his word.
• 1:57:12
  25 in a row, retired by Jerry Royce.
• 1:57:19
  Now Larry Bittner will be coming up to bat for Bob Shirley.
• 1:57:23
  And the second hitter for Cincinnati, batting for Shirley, number 23, Larry Bittner.
• 1:57:36
  Bittner is the first 10-hitter used by John McNamara.
• 1:57:40
  He's hitting 3.08.
• 1:57:41
  He is two home runs, 10 RBIs, better in left-hand batter.
• 1:57:48
  When Jickey struck out, Walker grounded out,
• 1:57:51
  and now here's Larry Bittner.
• 1:57:54
  So Royce with one out on the ninth inning and breezing 11 to 1.
• 1:57:58
  Jerry into the windup and delivers.
• 1:58:00
  Bittner takes the strike in the count of 0 and 1.
• 1:58:03
  Larry has played with the Washington Saniteus,
• 1:58:06
  Texas Rangers, Montreal, the Cubs, and Cincinnati.
• 1:58:10
  He takes inside.
• 1:58:12
  Bittner will be 35.
• 1:58:14
  He's from Iowa.
• 1:58:15
  He's from Pocahontas, Iowa.
• 1:58:23
  The pitch to Bittner is low ball two, two and one.
• 1:58:26
  Larry Bittner is the only free agent ever signed by the Reds
• 1:58:30
  through the re-increase draft system.
• 1:58:34
  And they got him after he left Chicago at the end of the 80s season.
• 1:58:43
  Bittner pitched in one game five years ago for the Cubs.
• 1:58:48
  Swing doesn't get it to him, too.
• 1:58:50
  Now to do, he worked an inning in the third.
• 1:58:53
  He walked one, struck out three, gave up five hits,
• 1:58:58
  and was charged with six earned runs.
• 1:59:00
  The 2-2 pitch strikes three, call.
• 1:59:03
  Twenty-six in a row, retired by Royce.
• 1:59:09
  But again, we don't have to repeat in case there's some folks just picking up the game.
• 1:59:15
  Eddie Millner opened up the game with a double to left,
• 1:59:19
  and Royce has gotten everybody since.
• 1:59:22
  Twenty-six consecutive batters.
• 1:59:25
  But Jerry's trying for his second one-hitter of the year.
• 1:59:30
  And he gave up a double in the first inning in that game to Art Howe of Houston.
• 1:59:35
  Royce is high, one ball and no strikes.
• 1:59:38
  It would also be the fifth one-hitter in the league this year, pitch outside.
• 1:59:43
  There would be two by Royce, and Noll, Hooten, and Eichelberger.
• 1:59:48
  And it would be the second time this year the Reds have been one-hitted.
• 1:59:52
  Dickie Noll's of the Cubs did that back in April.
• 1:59:55
  Here's the 2-0 pitch, and Millner drives it deep down the right field line, fouling out of play.
• 2:00:03
  2-1-1 to Ed Millner.
• 2:00:12
  Millner has had two four-hit games this year.
• 2:00:15
  He's doing pretty well, seeing limited service.
• 2:00:18
  And Royce comes to him 2-1, missed outside and high ball three.
• 2:00:22
  Ironically, Millner didn't figure to play tonight.
• 2:00:27
  But Cesar Cedeno injured his hand last night, and he couldn't use it tonight.
• 2:00:32
  And Millner got the hit.
• 2:00:34
  Ground ball to the right side.
• 2:00:36
  That passes over to Garvey.
• 2:00:38
  27 consecutive outs after the leadoff double.
• 2:00:43
  A magnificent one-hitter by Jerry Royce.
• 2:00:46
  We'll have the totals after this.
• 2:00:48
  Okay, let's look at the standings now before we go back for the wrap-up,
• 2:00:51
  a real slaughter for the Dodgers.
• 2:00:53
  You're still in the Reds tonight, as you earn 11-1.
• 2:00:56
  For Los Angeles, they go up to 28-31.
• 2:01:00
  The Braves are still winning their ball game.
• 2:01:02
  They lead it actually west, two games over San Diego, eight over the Dodgers.
• 2:01:06
  And the last thing we have learned from San Francisco's Calisic Park,
• 2:01:10
  middle of the seventh, that the Braves are winning over the Giants, 5-3.
• 2:01:15
  San Diego, in the meantime, defeated Houston 6-2.
• 2:01:19
  A lot of the winners, Sutton the loser.
• 2:01:21
  So the Fidres, at the moment, are 32-23,
• 2:01:24
  and they trail Atlanta by game and a half in the senior circuit west.
• 2:01:28
  The Cardinals beat the Mets 7-3.
• 2:01:30
  They went into the evening's action leading in the east by 2-1 half
• 2:01:34
  over the Philadelphia Phillies, who lost to Pittsburgh 1-0 to the Cardinals,
• 2:01:39
  a 3-1 half game lead over the Phillies.
• 2:01:42
  Montreal won 9-8, so they're tied for second with Philadelphia.
• 2:01:45
  Here's Dempsey again.
• 2:01:47
  The totals for the Dodgers, 11 runs, 13 hits.
• 2:01:51
  The Reds, one run, one hit.
• 2:01:53
  That was the leadoff double by Milner, and then Royce retired 27 to strike you the batter.
• 2:01:57
  Royce, naturally, the winner, and Frank Pastore, the loser.
• 2:02:00
  Tomorrow night at 7-0-5, Bob Welch and Greg Harris.
• 2:02:04
  Once again, the final score, Dodgers, 11, Reds, one.
• 2:02:08
  Now for Jerry Doggan and Ross Porter, this is Vince Cully inviting you to stay tuned for the Folk Team show coming right up.
• 2:02:16
  Let's check on some other news and sports before we wrap things up.
• 2:02:20
  Before we do that, details of the Montreal game.
• 2:02:23
  Jim Raines cracked a two-run double in the eighth inning to get Mark Riddall a 9-8 victory over Chicago,
• 2:02:29
  extending the Cubs' losing streak to 11 games.
• 2:02:33
  Keith Morland's free run, Homer, had highlighted a five-run pop of the eighth inning
• 2:02:37
  that put the Cubs in front 8-7.
• 2:02:40
  With the bases loaded, Raines doubled off the loser, Bill Campbell, scoring two runs.
• 2:02:45
  Woody Freiman, the victim of Morland-Homer, was the winner.
• 2:02:49
