  Kansas City Royals faced the Milwaukee Brewers at County Stadium in Milwaukee for a Friday night game on June 15, 1979.
• 0:15
  Kansas City entered the 1979 campaign with a lot of hope, having gone to the ALCS in each of the past three seasons, but losing to the Yankees each time.
• 0:23
  They were managed by Whitey Herzog, who took over as manager in 1976 from Jack McKeon, and finished in first place in the AL West every year since.
• 0:31
  Milwaukee had a lot of optimism in 1979 as well, under manager George Bamberger, who had led the team to a 93-win season in 1978, the first time in 10 years the franchise ever finished over 500.
• 0:43
  This audio recording is from the Kansas City Radio broadcast, featuring announcers Denny Matthews and Fred White.
• 0:49
  Hi everybody and a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you happen to be around the globe.
• 0:54
  The Royals and the Brewers set the square off in game one of the three game series.
• 0:58
  And Mike Caldwell, the left-hander with a record of six and five, sets the face Willie Wilson, George Brett, and Amos Otis.
• 1:05
  Willie comes into the game batting 342 with two home runs and 10 RBI.
• 1:10
  He's hitting 455 against the Brewers this year, five out of 11 and one RBI.
• 1:16
  Willie will be up there right-handed against the spinker baller Mike Caldwell.
• 1:22
  Now we're set to go. Charlie Moore drops down a sign for Mike Caldwell.
• 1:26
  Here's the lineup in the first pitch of the ball game. It's a breaking pitch outside.
• 1:31
  Mike Caldwell making his 14th start, his first start against the Royals this year.
• 1:37
  He was two and one against the Royals last year.
• 1:40
  Willie Belk went into left field, Odovay the left fielder coming in makes the catch, and there's one away.
• 1:46
  Willie Wilson flies to left and now George Brett.
• 1:49
  The Royals third baseman carries an average of 330 into the contest.
• 1:54
  Seven home runs, 36 RBI's.
• 1:58
  George has just one out of ten with an RBI against Milwaukee.
• 2:04
  Mike Caldwell beat the Royals twice last year.
• 2:09
  He shut them out here in Milwaukee in May, nine to nothing.
• 2:13
  And then he beat Paul Splendorf in mid-July here, 13 to two.
• 2:19
  He lost to the Royals in Kansas City when the Brewers were shut out.
• 2:22
  The pitch to George Brett is a bit outside, ball one.
• 2:25
  Bill Howler is a play-dumb player tonight, one of the very best.
• 2:31
  All three games that Mike Caldwell pitched against the Royals last year were complete games.
• 2:36
  George after a breaking ball didn't get it.
• 2:39
  One ball and one strike on George Brett.
• 2:42
  Base is empty, one away, just the start of things.
• 2:45
  Bill, make yourself comfortable and spend the evening with us.
• 2:50
  One ball, one strike on Brett.
• 2:52
  Amos Otis will be next and here's Caldwell's pitch.
• 2:54
  Breaking ball is lined to right field.
• 2:56
  As Cano to his left he makes the catch.
• 2:59
  George's got a breaking ball lined at straight atlas Cano.
• 3:03
  Two Royals gone and here's Amos Otis.
• 3:05
  Amos hitting 298, five homers, 34 RBI.
• 3:11
  He is six out of ten against Milwaukee this year.
• 3:15
  So he's a 600 hitter against the Brewers.
• 3:18
  One home run, two RBI's and he's scored four runs.
• 3:22
  He batted 300 against Milwaukee last year.
• 3:31
  Amos fourth in the American League and runs scored.
• 3:35
  The pitch to Amos is a bit outside, ball one.
• 3:39
  George Brett by the way leads the American League and runs scored at bats.
• 3:45
  He leads in hits with 86.
• 3:47
  He leads in triples and in total bases.
• 3:51
  Outside and high, two balls and no strikes on Amos Otis.
• 3:59
  Nobody on, two outs, top half of the first inning.
• 4:04
  Mike Caldwell behind Amos Otis, two balls, no strikes.
• 4:09
  Here's the pitch.
• 4:10
  A little tap, Caldwell off the mound for his first base,
• 4:13
  underhand toss, in time, side to tire.
• 4:16
  Two fly balls and a tap back to the pitcher and that tells the Royals
• 4:20
  throwing in the top half of the first.
• 4:22
  After half an inning, Royals nothing, Brewers coming up.
• 4:25
  Let's look at the tales of the baseball games played in the American League last night.
• 4:30
  Ben Ogilvy smacked a two-run homer as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Texas Rangers 6-2.
• 4:35
  Bill Travers went the distance in getting the win for Milwaukee.
• 4:38
  The losing pitcher was the Rangers' Doyle Alexander.
• 4:41
  Elsewhere, Willie Hickens did his second grand slam homer in as many games
• 4:45
  as the California Angels with the Toronto Blue Jays 10-2.
• 4:49
  Hickens became a ninth player to hit bases for homers in consecutive games.
• 4:54
  The Seattle Mariners spoiled Bucky Anderson's debut as manager of the Detroit Tigers.
• 4:59
  The Mariners edged a bingo 3-2 when Detroit's Arulio Rodriguez booted an infield grounder
• 5:04
  in the ninth, allowing Leon Roberts the score from first.
• 5:08
  John Raleigh got the win for the Seattle.
• 5:10
  Detroit's John Hiller was the loser.
• 5:12
  Butch Warniger's double scored three runs during a fourth run, fourth inning uprising
• 5:17
  to taste the Minnesota Twins to a 42-win over the New York Yankees.
• 5:22
  Zan worked the first six innings while giving up five hits,
• 5:25
  and super reliever Mike Marshall earned his 15th save in his 37th appearance
• 5:30
  by scattering two hits over the final three innings.
• 5:34
  In the other American late game, Jim Norris' two-run triple in the bottom of the ninth
• 5:38
  gave the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 squeaker over the Oakland A's.
• 5:42
  And Monge got the win in relief of starter Len Barker.
• 5:46
  Jim Todd took the loss for Oakland.
• 5:49
  Oakland, Toronto by the way after five tonight, it's Toronto leading the A's 2-0.
• 5:55
  The Milwaukee Brewers come to bat in the bottom of the first inning.
• 6:00
  Paul Splitorf on the mound for the Royals.
• 6:03
  Paul hasn't pitched in nine days.
• 6:05
  He missed his turn against the Yankees on Sunday in Kansas City because of the flu.
• 6:10
  He's making his 15th start his second against the Brewers.
• 6:13
  Paul Hollacher leading off, Paul hitting 303 with four home runs.
• 6:18
  23 RVIs, he has a five-game hitting streak.
• 6:21
  Paul starts him off with a breaking pitch and it's inside in low ball one.
• 6:26
  Paul Hollacher, four out of 13 against the Royals this year.
• 6:30
  He's got eight for 23 in his five-game hitting streak.
• 6:33
  Fast ball, good cut, he fouled it back to the screen, and the count is one and one.
• 6:39
  Paul Hollacher in his last 25 games has been a 370 hitter.
• 6:48
  Sixty-nine hits now for Paul, right-hand batter, Splitorf fits off speed and low and outside.
• 6:54
  Two balls and a strike.
• 6:59
  Splitorf has won seven of his last ten decisions.
• 7:05
  Right up his low, three balls and a strike.
• 7:10
  The Brewers lead the American League and walks drawn.
• 7:13
  They've drawn 253 walks.
• 7:16
  So you better throw strikes to this team.
• 7:18
  Hounston's all-based at the left.
• 7:20
  Hollacher opens the bottom of the first with a ground ball single between Brett and Pacha.
• 7:27
  So what happened is Splitorf ran the count three-one.
• 7:29
  He got behind Hollacher, then he did throw a strike and Hollacher promptly single.
• 7:34
  Here's Leesville Cooper throwing his first baseman.
• 7:38
  Two-pitting 295, 11 home runs, 45 RBI.
• 7:47
  Leesville is 0 for 9 against the Royals this year.
• 7:55
  Paul Hollacher at first will bear watching.
• 7:57
  He has 13 steals.
• 8:01
  George Scott wearing a Royal uniform.
• 8:04
  He's holding the runner on.
• 8:05
  Paul pitches up too high to the left-hand batter.
• 8:07
  Ball one.
• 8:10
  Splitorf is tied for a third in the American League with eight victories.
• 8:15
  He has five complete games and complete games in his last two outings.
• 8:19
  Good breaking ball for a strike.
• 8:21
  And it's evened out one-and-one on Leesville Cooper.
• 8:25
  His most recent outing came on June the 6th in Baltimore.
• 8:29
  He lost three to nothing.
• 8:30
  He went the distance with a amount of two eight innings, allowed three runs, seven hits, two walks, and a strikeout.
• 8:37
  Here's the one-one pitch to Cooper.
• 8:38
  Coop had an ocean and laid off.
• 8:40
  It was just outside.
• 8:42
  Two balls and a strike.
• 8:46
  Paul is three and four against the Eastern Division team, five and one against the West.
• 8:52
  He's pitched very well at the Royal Stadium, winning six of seven.
• 8:55
  He's won two of six on the road.
• 8:58
  He's played high ball three and is three and one.
• 9:02
  Paul has been behind three and one to the first two hitters.
• 9:05
  Well, as we said, he hasn't pitched in nine days.
• 9:08
  And as he put it before the game, I really don't know what to expect.
• 9:13
  The runner goes and the pitch is fouled away.
• 9:15
  The ball was here.
• 9:16
  The runner at first was running with the three-one pitch.
• 9:19
  He'll go back to first and now the count is three and two and we'll check him out again.
• 9:25
  Waiting his turn in the on deck circle, Sal Bando.
• 9:29
  Three balls, two strikes on Cecil Cooper.
• 9:37
  Signal given by Gerald Porter.
• 9:38
  Here's the stretch by Paul.
• 9:40
  Over to first he goes, thinking that Molitor will be on the move.
• 9:46
  But they just start against the Brewers in Kansas City on June the 2nd.
• 9:49
  Went the distance for a four to three win.
• 9:51
  The runner does go and a ground ball based at the right field.
• 9:55
  Molitor on his way to third.
• 9:56
  And the Brewers have first and third, nobody else.
• 9:59
  And those Thomas Rhodes will be coming up.
• 10:09
  Boy, that's a perfect example of how tough it is to pitch behind big league hitters.
• 10:16
  Even with Paul's selection of pitches.
• 10:18
  The fast ball, the curve ball, slider.
• 10:21
  He changes off the curve.
• 10:23
  He'll throw it.
• 10:24
  It's a great change.
• 10:26
  It's tough when you're behind.
• 10:28
  And the Brewers have runners in first and third to prove it.
• 10:30
  Here's Sal Bando.
• 10:32
  Bando hitting.28.
• 10:33
  Four homers, 16 RBI.
• 10:36
  He has always did well against the Royals.
• 10:40
  He was tough against the Royals as a member of the A's.
• 10:43
  Then he changed uniforms.
• 10:45
  But that didn't change.
• 10:47
  The ball is a breaking ball.
• 10:49
  Lewin inside, all one.
• 10:55
  Sal, right hand batter.
• 10:57
  Dockley-Bill chokes the bat.
• 10:58
  He chokes about three inches.
• 11:00
  Runners at the corner, the 1-0 pitch.
• 11:02
  Curve ball, a strike at the letter.
• 11:04
  One and one.
• 11:08
  Cleveland just pasting Seattle.
• 11:10
  It's now nine to nothing.
• 11:12
  Bobby Barnes, home in the third inning with nobody on his eighth.
• 11:16
  Here's the 1-1 pitch to Bando.
• 11:18
  Ball did not get the corner.
• 11:20
  Two balls and a strike.
• 11:22
  Meanwhile in Toronto, it's Toronto two.
• 11:24
  The Oakland A's nothing.
• 11:25
  They play four.
• 11:26
  The Mets have a 1-0 lead over Atlanta after two at Shea.
• 11:30
  Two balls and a strike on Bando.
• 11:32
  Runners at first and third.
• 11:33
  Hot shot foul outside third.
• 11:36
  And the county evens out at two balls and two strikes.
• 11:40
  Detroit one, California nothing.
• 11:42
  They have played two in Detroit.
• 11:44
  Marky Anderson now at the helm of the Tigers.
• 11:50
  When Slidoff beat the Brewers in Kansas City on June the 2nd,
• 11:54
  he allowed nine hits, three runs, walk five, strikeout three.
• 11:59
  The 2-2 pitch to Bando, felt as a deep left field.
• 12:02
  The Brewers were very welcome, and a wall five.
• 12:32
  One swing of the bat and Sal Bando makes it to Milwaukee three,
• 12:38
  the Royals nothing.
• 12:40
  For Sal, a three run homer, his fifth home run of the year.
• 12:43
  Two singles and a home run by Bando.
• 12:47
  A very unpromising start for the Royals.
• 12:51
  Here is Gorman Thomas, a 2-35 hitter.
• 12:53
  Big curve ball, one and missed, 0-1.
• 12:56
  For Gorman Thomas, 13 home runs, 38 RBIs.
• 13:07
  Thomas is third in the league in three passes.
• 13:10
  He's walked 43 times.
• 13:12
  Curve ball, strike call, 0-2.
• 13:21
  Thomas is tied for third in the American league, in home run.
• 13:27
  No balls, two strikes, right hand batter.
• 13:30
  Breaking stuff is low, one ball, two strikes on Gorman Thomas.
• 13:35
  That was the eighth home run that Paul Slidoff has yielded this year.
• 13:42
  It was good for three, singles by Molitor and Cooper preceded Bando's blast into the left field seat.
• 13:48
  The Royals one-two change to Thomas and sit on one off the pot deck.
• 13:52
  Freddy fires to first in time.
• 13:54
  Gorman Thomas retired, one away and here is Ben Oldenly.
• 14:07
  The base is empty, one out, the batter is Ben Oldenly.
• 14:10
  And a 2-32 hitter, a dozen homers, 36 RBIs.
• 14:15
  He's had his last 12 games as the 3-11, 14-4-45.
• 14:22
  He's two out of seven against the Royals.
• 14:26
  Paul Slidoff pitched to the tall, thin left hand batters, low and outside, ball one.
• 14:31
  Well, the Royals are winding down a stretch of 19 consecutive games against the top four teams in the Eastern Division.
• 14:38
  This three game set with the Brewers will end that.
• 14:41
  The Royals strike on the outside corner, overly not so sure, turns and looks at Bill Haller, the plate umpire.
• 14:48
  The Royals in this stretch of games have won seven, they've lost nine.
• 14:52
  They beat the Brewers two out of three in Kansas City last week.
• 14:55
  There's a drive to deep center, back goes Amazotas to the center field.
• 14:59
  Whoa, he leaps up and makes a catch.
• 15:04
  Fine, fine play by Royals center fielder Amazotas.
• 15:08
  He timed his leap perfectly and the only reason that Ben Ogilvy didn't hit a home run, he picked on the deepest part of the ballpark.
• 15:15
  4-0-2 to straightaway center.
• 15:17
  That's what Otis was when he hauled down that long drive.
• 15:24
  Here is 6th to Liscano, Milwaukee right fielder.
• 15:27
  Liscano batting 3-20 with eight homers, 38 batted in.
• 15:31
  He is hit safely in fourth straight.
• 15:37
  So Paul Splendorf getting rocked here in the first inning.
• 15:41
  Three to nothing Brewers, two singles and then Vandos free run homer.
• 15:45
  Curve to Liscano, right end batters, low ball one.
• 15:57
  Foot ready and he comes with a fast ball that's down low, two balls and no strikes.
• 16:03
  Royals still reeling from playing the Boston Red Sox two nights ago, the Red Sox getting 18 hits including four homers.
• 16:11
  One of them a grand slam, there's ball free to Liscano.
• 16:20
  Liscano will quite likely swing if he likes his pitch.
• 16:24
  He took a strike and it's 3-1.
• 16:29
  He has more power than you would think just to look at it.
• 16:35
  Fast ball, he chopped it up along third foul, three balls and two strikes.
• 16:41
  Tomorrow either Marty Patton or Steve Busby for the Royals, Jim Slayton pitching for the Brewers.
• 16:47
  And on Sunday Rich Gale and Larry Sorensen.
• 16:54
  And you'd say either Marty Patton or Steve Busby.
• 16:59
  You can see what kind of shape the Royals staff is in.
• 17:02
  High ball four and Liscano walks.
• 17:10
  The batter is shortstop Robin Yowd. Yowd hitting 231, four homers and 17 RBI.
• 17:17
  Al Robosky is the only pitcher on the staff who hasn't started a game this season.
• 17:22
  Dennis Leonard hasn't worked since the 24th of May because of inflammation in his right elbow.
• 17:28
  Steve Busby was forced out of Monday night's game after nine and a third innings because of a full groin muscle.
• 17:34
  The out of right hand batter takes inside ball one.
• 17:37
  Paul Splendorf as we mentioned making his first start in nine days.
• 17:43
  Steven Gore had to start a game against the Yankees, his first start in four years.
• 17:48
  Breaking ball hit up the middle, takes it.
• 17:52
  Liscano around second on his way to third on Robin Yowd's single.
• 17:59
  Out comes pitching coach Galen Sisco.
• 18:05
  The last thing the manager, Whitey Herzog, wanted tonight was to pull his starting pitcher in the first two or three innings.
• 18:14
  So I'm sure just because of the physical state of the royal pitching staff, he'll go much longer than he normally would with Paul.
• 18:22
  But the Brewers are certainly taking liberties here in the first unless Paul can find himself and get his good stuff.
• 18:31
  It's going to be a long night.
• 18:33
  The runners at first and third, two down.
• 18:37
  Three singles, a three run home running a walk here in the inning.
• 18:41
  The Brewers aren't through yet.
• 18:42
  Dick Davis, the D8, coming to the plate.
• 18:45
  Davis in a 266, four homers, a dozen RBI.
• 18:56
  Darrell Porter out to visit with Paul.
• 19:06
  Dick Davis right hand batter.
• 19:09
  Normally when Galen Sisco comes out, that means the bullpen will start.
• 19:13
  But like we said, the Royals can't afford to have their starting pitcher leave in the first few innings so the bullpen is quiet.
• 19:20
  The pitch to Dick Davis, bouncing ball deep third.
• 19:23
  Brett will have a long throw to make and it's on target.
• 19:26
  Good play by George.
• 19:28
  George Brett to George Scott by George.
• 19:30
  The Brewers are up.
• 19:32
  But they come up with three runs, four hits from the Big Bull.
• 19:35
  Bando's three run homer.
• 19:37
  The end of one, Milwaukee three and the Royals nothing.
• 19:40
  Looking at the National League results from last night, Mick Kelliger, last two out, two runs single off reliever Gary LaValle in the top of the ninth inning to get the Chicago Cubs an 8-6 win over the San Francisco Giants.
• 19:52
  The hits followed a wild pitch that moved Cubs runners in the scoring position.
• 19:55
  LaValle took the loss.
• 19:57
  Cubs reliever Dick Tidro got the victory.
• 19:59
  Willie McCovey of the Giants.
• 20:00
  Homer in the third, his 513th lifetime, moving him into ninth place on the all-time list.
• 20:07
  Another action, Gary Carter's two run double in the eighth inning helped the Montreal Expos beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3.
• 20:13
  Reliever Elias Sosa pitched two innings of hitless balls and knocked the victory.
• 20:18
  Atlanta's Gene Garber was the loser.
• 20:20
  On the West Coast at San Diego, pinch hitter Barry Evans lined a two out single to right center in the bottom of the 14th inning to score Ozzie Smith from second base.
• 20:30
  He gives the San Diego Pirates a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in a sweep of the three game series from the buttons.
• 20:38
  After John Candelara making a rare relief appearance, retired the first two batters in the bottom of the 14th, Smith reached first when shortstop Tim Foley booted his grounder for an error.
• 20:48
  Dave Winfield then drew a walk before Evans smacked his game-winning hit.
• 20:52
  John DiAquisto now three and four, pitched the final inning to gain the victory and Candelara took the loss, his record falls to four and six.
• 21:00
  We'll be checking the American and National League scoreboard.
• 21:03
  A lot of games underway now in a few moments.
• 21:05
  In fact, there are all the games underway in the American League and there are three in the Nationals.
• 21:10
  The Drillers leading three to nothing and for the Royals, Al Cowans, George Scott and Darrell Porter will be coming up against Mike Caldwell.
• 21:17
  Before the Royals bat, let's pause for station identification.
• 21:21
  This is the Kansas City Royals Radio Network.
• 21:24
  This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.
• 21:34
  This is Denny Matthews at Milwaukee's County Stadium.
• 21:37
  Three runs, four hits for the Milwaukee Drillers.
• 21:39
  The Royals went down one, two, three against Mike Caldwell in the first.
• 21:43
  The batter Al Cowans, Al hitting 323, five homers, 31 RBI.
• 21:48
  Al is three out of eight with two runs batted in against the Brewers this year.
• 21:53
  Cowans has been coming off the disabled list 14 games ago on May the 30th.
• 21:59
  At bat at 353, that's 18-4-51 with seven RBI's and five run scores.
• 22:06
  Al in his five-game hitting streak has gone nine for 21.
• 22:11
  And he's driven in at least one run in five of his last seven games.
• 22:16
  Mike Caldwell's pitch is a curve ball low and inside.
• 22:20
  Al had to be quick with his feet to avoid being spunked in the ankle.
• 22:24
  One and oh.
• 22:26
  Mike Caldwell, one and one this month.
• 22:29
  He lost his last outing to the White Sox, six to two.
• 22:32
  That was here at County Stadium on the ninth.
• 22:35
  Mike allowed five runs and eight innings.
• 22:38
  Six hits, didn't walk anybody, struck out four.
• 22:41
  He beat the White Sox on June the 4th.
• 22:44
  That was in Chicago and he shut them out six to nothing.
• 22:47
  He started the season with wins over the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Orioles.
• 22:51
  Nice shot into center field, they sit for talent.
• 22:55
  So Al the Royals first base runner and now George Scott making his first appearance at the plate in a Royal uniform.
• 23:01
  And Scottie a former Brewer and he hears the fans.
• 23:04
  He's a favorite here at O'Holme.
• 23:07
  George must feel right at home in the sense that this was the kind of reception he was getting in Boston.
• 23:19
  He was traded to the Royals two days ago for outfielder Tom Pochette.
• 23:25
  So here's Scottie wearing number zero.
• 23:29
  Al Oliver of the Rangers also wears zero.
• 23:32
  And a fitch is on the outside corner for Mike Caldwell.
• 23:41
  Mike Caldwell, 30 years old, just had a tremendous season in 1978.
• 23:46
  A 22 game winner, George Scott, hits a high pop foul into the seats down the right field line.
• 23:51
  No balls and two strikes.
• 23:54
  Only the Yankees, Ron Guidry, had a better season than Milwaukee Brewer's left-hander Mike Caldwell last year.
• 24:05
  Mike throws a sinker, a slider, a curve, and a change.
• 24:09
  And he will keep everything down.
• 24:13
  He can be a very tough pitcher on a right-hand batter even though he's a left-hander because that sinker will kind of break down and away from the right-hand batter.
• 24:22
  So he'll get a number of double plays out of that pitch, especially if they try to pull it.
• 24:26
  Scottie, after a breaking ball, shot the foul right at the feet of the catcher Charlie Moore from the Cattleman 2.
• 24:36
  Mike Caldwell, a tough competitor.
• 24:39
  Time was when he would fuss around in the mound and take all kinds of time.
• 24:44
  But not anymore. He's become more aggressive.
• 24:46
  He's speeded things up and he's a better pitcher.
• 24:49
  A five-ball rather deep center. Gorman Thomas back into his left of the warning track to one-handed.
• 24:55
  And Fowlens almost down the second half to retreat to first.
• 25:00
  So Mike Caldwell kept Scottie in the ballpark even though George St. Sinterfield and Gorman Thomas back to the wall.
• 25:06
  One away, here comes catcher Darrell Porter, a Darrell, a former Milwaukee Brewer.
• 25:11
  Darrell batting 296, seven home runs, 48 RBI.
• 25:27
  Darrell against his old team this year, three out of seven.
• 25:31
  Two runs scored, two batted in.
• 25:34
  Mike Caldwell goes to first. Al Fowlens is back.
• 25:40
  Nothing special at all about Mike Caldwell's move to first.
• 25:46
  The Royals feel that they can run on Caldwell.
• 25:49
  Although now down three to nothing, well that's a different story perhaps.
• 25:53
  Outside to Darrell Porter, one ball, no strikes.
• 25:57
  The Royals, maybe more than any team in baseball, will run when they are behind in the score.
• 26:06
  Darrell gets the pitch in too tight, and they count two and oh.
• 26:11
  The reason for that, the Royals are not a power team. They don't play in a power ballpark.
• 26:18
  So even though they trail two nothing, three nothing, six nothing, they'll still play their running game.
• 26:24
  That's their offense, bouncing ball to second baseman Molliger.
• 26:27
  Over to Yelp for the force of second and Al Fowlens and that's all they get.
• 26:30
  Darrell is first with two down and John Loppen coming up.
• 26:34
  Duke to DH tonight, he's hitting 244 with 14 RVIs and one home run.
• 26:50
  Milwaukee three, Royals nothing. We're in the top of the second.
• 27:01
  Beautiful night, rather strong breeze blowing toward left.
• 27:06
  The temperature at game time was 84.
• 27:10
  Loppen takes down low, one ball, no strikes.
• 27:16
  Duke over four against the Brewers.
• 27:20
  Darrell Porter a very safe lead at first, Mike Caldwell's pitch.
• 27:23
  What after a breaking ball and this in the count of one and one?
• 27:30
  He's currently tied with teammate Larry Sorensen for the league's top spot in complete game.
• 27:37
  Both Milwaukee pitchers have nine complete games.
• 27:40
  Bouncing ball off the tip of the pitcher's glove.
• 27:42
  Second baseman Molliger shovels for the church stop Yelp for the force on Darrell Porter.
• 27:46
  And that retires the side. The Royals in the top of the second, one hit, no runs.
• 27:51
  One man left. We move to the bottom of the second inning.
• 27:53
  The Brewers three and the Royals nothing.
• 27:55
  Okay, let's check the baseball scoreboard now.
• 27:57
  Other American league action after four innings of play.
• 28:00
  Cleveland pouring it on Seattle nine to two.
• 28:03
  They had one in the first, seven in the second, and one in the third.
• 28:06
  Two runs to Seattle in the fourth.
• 28:08
  Jones, Seattle is 14th of the year in the fourth with nobody on.
• 28:12
  California Detroit after three.
• 28:14
  The Angels lead the Tigers three to two.
• 28:16
  Bobby Gritch a home run for the Angels in the fourth with nobody on.
• 28:19
  He is 14th of the year.
• 28:21
  Five innings of play. Toronto ahead of Oakland three to nothing.
• 28:25
  Boston and Chicago first inning, White Sox two, Red Sox one.
• 28:30
  After two, Baltimore leads Minnesota one nothing on a John Loewenstein.
• 28:34
  Home run into the center field seat.
• 28:36
  It's sixth of the year.
• 28:38
  In the second, nobody on. New York and Texas no score after two and a half innings of play.
• 28:44
  Checking the National League scoreboard now after four.
• 28:47
  Houston one. Montreal one. Four and a half.
• 28:50
  The Mets lead Atlanta one nothing.
• 28:52
  The Mets lead the Mets to play. The Philadelphia Phillies three.
• 28:56
  And the Cincinnati Reds one.
• 28:58
  Three late games on the West Coast in the National League.
• 29:02
  St. Louis to San Francisco. Pete Vukovich six and three.
• 29:05
  The probable pitcher for the Cardinals for San Francisco.
• 29:07
  Phil Nassau two and four.
• 29:09
  Pittsburgh at Los Angeles for the Pirates.
• 29:11
  Burt Lylev in two and two.
• 29:12
  For the Dodgers, Don Sutton six and six.
• 29:14
  Chicago Cubs at San Diego.
• 29:16
  For the Cubs, Rick Ruschel five and five.
• 29:19
  For the Padres, it's expected to be Eric Rasmussen.
• 29:22
  His record so far three and six.
• 29:25
  In Milwaukee, it's three nothing Brewers.
• 29:27
  Three runs on four hits for Milwaukee as they sent eight men to the plate in the first inning.
• 29:31
  Val Vando a three run home run following singles by Molitor and Cooper.
• 29:35
  Here's Charlie Moore the catcher, the number nine hitter, and Charlie takes the strike.
• 29:40
  Charlie Moore batting three sixty two with a home run and fifteen RVIs.
• 29:46
  Right hand batter, split or curveball of beauty, strike two.
• 29:50
  Charlie Moore in his last twenty eight games has twenty nine hits and seventy five at bat.
• 29:57
  That figures out to a three eighty seven average.
• 30:01
  Inside a fastball, got his attention.
• 30:05
  One and two.
• 30:08
  John Lowenstein has Fomers for Baltimore in Minnesota.
• 30:12
  And the Orioles have taken a one to nothing lead over the twins, Lowenstein Fomer his six.
• 30:16
  Lowen outside is ball two and two now to Charlie Moore.
• 30:20
  Lowenstein Fomer run came in the second inning.
• 30:23
  Rupert Jones, a former Royal has Fomer for Seattle.
• 30:27
  Curved strike three call. Charlie Moore fooled by a breaking pitch.
• 30:33
  For ball split off his first strike out.
• 30:36
  And the second baseman Paul Molitor who extended his hitting three to six with his first hitting single.
• 30:42
  Rupert Jones home run in the fourth inning with nobody on was his fourteenth.
• 30:47
  But Cleveland way out in front of the Mariners nine to two.
• 30:51
  The Angels have tied the Tigers in a home run by Bob Gritch.
• 30:56
  That came in the fourth inning with nobody on.
• 30:59
  Gritch is a ball. One ball no strikes on Paul Molitor.
• 31:06
  The left hander deals. Off speed breaking pitch out of the strike zone.
• 31:10
  Ball two, two and oh.
• 31:17
  Signal given the two oh pitch.
• 31:19
  Ball three.
• 31:21
  Paul walked a man in the first inning. He walked Liz Cano.
• 31:26
  The problem started working behind the hitters.
• 31:30
  There's a strike three and one.
• 31:32
  He fell behind both Molitor and Cooper. They both singled.
• 31:36
  He was two and two on Sal Bando and Sal Homer into the seats and left.
• 31:40
  Molitor a wicked swing and a fast ball and he fouled it back to the screen.
• 31:44
  Full count three and two.
• 31:49
  The Brewers started the night tied with the Boston Red Sox for the American League lead in home run.
• 31:55
  Now 68 team home run.
• 31:57
  Bouncing ball passed the mound. Backhanded by White.
• 31:59
  Frank will have no play. It'll be an infield single for Molitor.
• 32:04
  Frank made a nice play just to get to the ball.
• 32:08
  Once he came up with it in short center field on the backhand he had nowhere to go with it.
• 32:12
  Molitor had already crossed the base.
• 32:16
  Hit number five for Milwaukee here in Cecil Cooper who like Molitor singled and scored his first time up.
• 32:22
  What to the Rasmus bag now doing a little landscaping down in front of the pitching rudder.
• 32:39
  The Royals team are on average as the rudder runs slightly 4.53.
• 32:48
  One ball no strikes on left hand hitting Cecil Cooper.
• 32:58
  One on one out three to nothing Milwaukee. Here's the pitch.
• 33:02
  Power ball backing out of play.
• 33:07
  Cecil Cooper had a good cut of that pitch.
• 33:20
  One ball and one strike on the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman.
• 33:26
  Cooper now has 73 hits for the year.
• 33:31
  He checks the runner. Here's the pitch. That ball is high. Two balls and a strike.
• 33:40
  Cecil Cooper had a fine year in 78. He batted 312 with 13 home runs.
• 33:45
  54 RBI.
• 33:48
  High fly ball right field.
• 33:50
  Howins to his right. Still drifting to his right.
• 33:52
  Calling for the ball and makes the catch.
• 33:55
  And Molitor back to first.
• 33:57
  Cecil Cooper is just two home runs behind his output of the 1978 season.
• 34:05
  Here in the second he's gone on a fly ball to right and here is Sal Bando.
• 34:11
  Sal hit his sixth home run of the year in the first inning with two men on.
• 34:14
  And that's the ball game at this point.
• 34:16
  Three nothing Brewers. Bottom of the second.
• 34:18
  Runner in first. Two down.
• 34:20
  All split off. Checking in with Darrell Porter.
• 34:25
  Darrell drops down a sign. Paul Splittor set up the belt.
• 34:28
  There goes the runner. Bando takes inside and no throw as the ball is blowing inside.
• 34:34
  Darrell could not come up with it.
• 34:35
  And Molitor has his 14th still in base.
• 34:45
  So a chance for Sal Bando to get his fourth RBI of the game and his 20th of the year.
• 34:53
  There goes Molitor towards third and no throw.
• 34:57
  Ahead for his fly.
• 35:01
  15th still in base. Molitor got a tremendous jump.
• 35:05
  Neither Potjeg nor Frank White very close to second base.
• 35:09
  Paul didn't pay that much attention to Molitor.
• 35:14
  And even though with two outies not that much better off at third than at second, Molitor figures what the heck.
• 35:21
  If they don't care, I'm going.
• 35:25
  So an infield hit. Wild pitch, pass ball and air could get the Brewers their fourth run.
• 35:33
  Two balls, no strikes. The ball is behind Sal Bando.
• 35:38
  Eyeball free.
• 35:47
  Bando checking with Bob Rogers his third base coach.
• 35:50
  Let's see if they have the cuffs on Sal.
• 35:52
  The 3-0 pitch. Now he's swinging and what a cut he had. He fouled it back.
• 35:58
  It figures that Bando is swinging. Here's your number three hitter. You're leading three to nothing.
• 36:03
  There are two out and runner in third. Why not?
• 36:09
  Already the 3-1 pitch.
• 36:11
  Breaking ball well-prone and the best Bando could do with that pitch was to top a foul right at the feet of Darrell Porter.
• 36:16
  Three and two.
• 36:25
  All-spin on his lifetime against Milwaukee.
• 36:28
  Eleven wins and six losses. Bando takes out five all-for.
• 36:39
  Batter Dorman Thomas. Thomas bounced out to Patek his first time up.
• 36:53
  Big strong right hand batter. Dorman Thomas 6'3, 2'05.
• 37:02
  Dorman is 32 home runs last year. Thirteen so far this season. Runners in first and third, two down.
• 37:11
  After a breaking ball he topped a foul. No balls and a strike.
• 37:18
  Dorman Thomas will see a lot of breaking stuff, off-speed pitches.
• 37:24
  All through both that time and off-speed turf.
• 37:30
  Molitor third, Bando at first, two down, bottom of the second.
• 37:34
  The Brewers by three and threatening. The one strike pitch to Thomas.
• 37:39
  Curve ball missed. One and one.
• 37:45
  The start of a ten game trip for the Royals. Three here in Milwaukee, then four in Oakland, and three in Anaheim against the Angels.
• 37:52
  Back home to play the A's and the Angels.
• 37:55
  One one pitch to Thomas. Bounced up along third foul. One and two.
• 38:03
  The meetings of the A's and the Angels will be the first of the year between the Royals and those two ball clubs.
• 38:15
  One ball, two strikes on Dorman Thomas.
• 38:18
  Three runs, five hits for the Brewers. No runs, one hit for the Royals. The Royals hit a single by Al Collins.
• 38:27
  Paul has the advantage in the count.
• 38:31
  The left-hander at the belt, and the one two pitch.
• 38:34
  Fast ball just missed the inside corner.
• 38:40
  He talked about the guessing game between pitcher and hitter. Paul had thrown him a lot of off-speed stuff.
• 38:45
  He got a few curve balls, and then falls together with Darrell Porter, feeling that Thomas would be looking that way.
• 38:51
  Tried to sneak the fast ball on the inside edge, but barely missed. Now the two two pitch.
• 38:56
  Back to the curve, and a wide drive into right field. They miss.
• 38:59
  Hollister scores. Bando checks in his second, and it's four to nothing Brewers.
• 39:06
  I'll say this about Dorman Thomas. He didn't try to pull the pitch or fight it.
• 39:11
  He just curved it ever so gently over Frank White out in the right field.
• 39:15
  Thomas drives in his thirty-ninth run of the year. Four to nothing Brewers on a half a dozen hits.
• 39:20
  There's Ben Ogilvie. Ogilvie sends center fielder Amos Otis back to the wall for his long drive in the first.
• 39:38
  And here's our stretch, a curve into the dirt. Ball one.
• 39:45
  Well, the Royal Bullpen can wait no longer. Eduardo Rodriguez begins to throw.
• 39:50
  Eddie, a former Brewer, two on, two out. One ball, no strikes.
• 39:58
  Huge power off the end of the bat. It rolls into the Royal dugout.
• 40:01
  One and one to count on Ben Ogilvie.
• 40:09
  It has been a long and tough two innings for Paul Slidov.
• 40:15
  He has struggled. A ball and a strike. Here's the pitch.
• 40:20
  Curve ball is pulled down the right field line, hooking foul into the seat.
• 40:24
  Ogilvie did not have a good swing at all. In fact, he's hooked the bat.
• 40:28
  He was so far out in front of that slow curve, he hit it right off the end of the bat and tacked it.
• 40:36
  One ball, two strikes on Ogilvie. Ben, a former Red Sox outfielder, first baseman. He also played with the Tigers.
• 40:48
  Ben had a fine season in 78, hitting 303 with 18 home runs. 71 RBIs.
• 40:54
  He raised fifth in the American League with that 303 average.
• 40:58
  He was ranked ninth in the league in slugging percentage.
• 41:05
  One ball, two strikes. Slidov checking the runners. Here's the pitch.
• 41:09
  Into the dirt, knocked down by Darrell Porter, no advance.
• 41:14
  Darrell couldn't find it for a second, but then he heard the ball hit behind him and to the left.
• 41:23
  He made a good play to keep the ball that close to him.
• 41:26
  It was a tough pitch to handle, a breaking ball into the dirt.
• 41:29
  A breaking ball in the dirt, much tougher for the catcher than a fast ball in the dirt.
• 41:33
  Here's the 2-2 pitch. Fast ball missed outside, 3-2.
• 41:38
  Now the Brewers will have the additional offense of the day of having the runners move.
• 41:42
  Vando with slightly below average speed at first, Gorman Thomas, about average speed.
• 41:48
  Back into a second, Thomas the first. Frank Howard, the first base coach, marking some instructions.
• 41:53
  There go the runners. Bouncing ball up the first base line, foul.
• 41:59
  Paul made a great pitch that time. He had Ben Ogilvy hopelessly tied up with a pitch right in on the hand.
• 42:06
  And Ogilvy, a half swing, almost a check swing, just dribbled one up along the first base line.
• 42:13
  Unfortunately for Ben Ogilvy, the ball just veered off foul.
• 42:18
  So once again the runners will be on the move. Vando from second, Gorman Thomas from first.
• 42:24
  Foot are ready and now the 3-2 pitch to Ben Ogilvy.
• 42:27
  Sharply hit ground ball, but right at Frank White who bobbles, recovers and throws out first.
• 42:32
  Ben Ogilvy to refire the side.
• 42:34
  So the Brewers, out of all that, get one run on two hits.
• 42:38
  They lead two, they stranded four, and after two innings in Milwaukee the Brewers four, and the Royals nothing.
• 42:44
  Let's recheck the scoreboard now. The American League, Bobby Gritch having quite a night.
• 42:49
  He's got two home runs so far, the ex-Oreo has, for the California Angels.
• 42:53
  First one in the fourth, nobody on his 14th. Again Gritch in the fourth with one on for the Angels.
• 42:58
  His 15th of the year. So California leading Detroit five to two.
• 43:02
  And three of the runs responsible for the big bat of Bobby Gritch.
• 43:06
  Seattle and Cleveland five innings, the Indians pouring it on the Mariners nine to two.
• 43:10
  Six and a half, Toronto four, Oakland nothing.
• 43:12
  Nothing further on Boston, Chicago one inning of play.
• 43:15
  The White Sox lead the Bull Sox by a score of two to one.
• 43:18
  National League scoreboard four innings, Houston one, Montreal one.
• 43:21
  Four and a half, Mets one, Braves nothing.
• 43:24
  Three and a half, Cincinnati leading Philadelphia four to three.
• 43:27
  And of course later starts, as we mentioned, Chicago at San Diego, Pittsburgh at Los Angeles, and St. Louis at San Francisco.
• 43:34
  The Minnesota Twins today reactivated third baseman Mike Kovach.
• 43:37
  We've been on the disabled list for the bad backs since May 28.
• 43:40
  Kovach resides in offseason in Charlottesville, Virginia.
• 43:45
  He played the high school ball in Charlottesville, which is not too far from Washington, D.C., and was also quite a football player.
• 43:53
  To make room for Kovach on the roster, infielder Dan Graham was optioned to Toledo of the AAA International League.
• 43:59
  Graham had only four bats with the Twins.
• 44:02
  And the Milwaukee Brewers announced tonight they're sending relief pitcher Lance Rossum to their AAA Farm Club in Vancouver.
• 44:08
  The Brewers reduced the roster to 24, leaving one spot open in anticipation of the return of Don Money, who's out with a poor hamstring.
• 44:15
  We play two innings at County Stadium, Milwaukee.
• 44:17
  The Brewers lead the Royals four to nothing. Four runs, six hits, no errors for Milwaukee.
• 44:22
  The Royals, no runs, one hit, and no errors.
• 44:25
  Frank Leifert, Fred Patek, Willie Wilson coming up against Mike Caldwell, and here's Fred.
• 44:30
  All right, thank you, Danny. The Royals are going to have to get some offense if they're going to stay in it.
• 44:33
  Paul Spiddler, having been rocked the first two innings, still in the ballgame, trying to find himself.
• 44:40
  But the Royals need to produce something.
• 44:43
  Frank White, a 284 hitter.
• 44:53
  Light-headed batter in.
• 45:02
  First pick two, and misses ball one.
• 45:04
  Frank Savage, who's up 284, three homers, a dozen RBIs.
• 45:12
  He's a high-pop foul back to the plate.
• 45:15
  Show me more to take a look, but he doesn't have a play.
• 45:17
  And it counts even one ball, one strike.
• 45:19
  Frank just back in action after missing 32 games with a broken hand.
• 45:36
  A couple of games against Boston under his belt. It was first thought that this would be the first time he had played.
• 45:43
  So the Royals' injuries are healing up now. Al McCrae could return.
• 45:50
  So if they can get their pitching load straightened out, maybe they can get everything all turned around.
• 45:54
  They've struggled a plate. The Royals have won the two of their last ten ballgames.
• 45:58
  The pitch, Frank's in front of the bunt, takes a pitch outside, ball two, two and one.
• 46:03
  Well, it's really an improvement, we'll see.
• 46:10
  Now Cowan's got the Royals' only hit off Mike Caldwell in the first two innings.
• 46:16
  A pick to Frank White, a sharp shot down to the third baseman, Sal Bando throws him out.
• 46:20
  Bando to his left a step or two, throws out Frank White.
• 46:24
  Now here's Fred Pockett, a 236 hitter.
• 46:41
  Pockett missed a couple of ballgames with a sore leg, he's back in action.
• 46:45
  Pitch to him, ball high, ball wide.
• 46:54
  Mike Caldwell doesn't walk many minutes, he's around the plate all the time.
• 46:59
  The pitch is the outside corner, now two and O to Buddy.
• 47:03
  One of the few times Caldwell's only been behind a hitter.
• 47:07
  Willie Wilson next if anybody gets on, George Brett.
• 47:11
  Two O pitch, Mike Caldwell is two and one, Buddy taking.
• 47:18
  A three run first inning home run by Sal Bando, the big blow in the ballgame.
• 47:24
  Here's the pitch, hot shot headed from left, Robin Young can't get there, base hit.
• 47:29
  So funny Pockett singles.
• 47:33
  And now Willie Wilson, who has got on a five ball to the left his first time up.
• 47:37
  The way those have their second hit of the ballgame.
• 47:42
  Willie taking a look down at Chuck Giller, his third base coach before he steps in.
• 47:53
  Willie and Chuck can't get together every time Willie looks, Chuck looking the other way, Chuck gives signs and Willie's not looking.
• 48:00
  Bando shortened up a third, the outfield playing Willie straight away.
• 48:08
  You can see the outfields in the American League starting to show Willie a little bit more respect, the pitch to him, long and this.
• 48:14
  Early in the year they all played him very, very shallow but now they've retreated to normal depth.
• 48:23
  One strike to Wilson, Charlie Moore put down a sign, Caldwell's ready, left-hander pitch.
• 48:29
  It's low and the count evens out 1-1.
• 48:39
  Caldwell, Pregnadier's cap, picks up the sign, here's the stretch and the pitch.
• 48:45
  Ball inside, breaking stuff in this, two balls and a strike to Willie.
• 48:52
  The beginning of a ten-game road trip for the Royal Three here in Milwaukee, four in Oakland, three in Anaheim.
• 48:58
  Well you realize this will be the first meeting this year between the Royals and the A's and the Royals and the Angels.
• 49:04
  Ground ball, pass third, two to the cap now.
• 49:11
  Willie got one fouled off.
• 49:13
  Well you would think that the Royals, the A's and the Angels weren't even in the same league let alone the same division.
• 49:22
  They will have played 65 games by the time they see the A's, 69 by the time they see the Angels.
• 49:34
  And 69 games is only a dozen shy of being half a season.
• 49:47
  Up by a Ron Lucey, Adilard's first sibling around is now done and we're ready to play again.
• 49:52
  Here's the stretch, two-two pitch.
• 49:55
  Ball outside and a ball count, three and two to Willie Wilson.
• 50:02
  And Caldwell, very consistent at throwing strikes, three and two now with Willie.
• 50:09
  He doesn't want to walk, he needs to get breath to the plate.
• 50:12
  It's four to nothing Brewers, here's the stretch, now the pitch.
• 50:15
  There goes Potech, the pitch fouled off.
• 50:17
  Still a full count, three and two.
• 50:25
  The Royals had Buddy Potech on the move.
• 50:28
  Now Caldwell walks off the mound, goes to his mouth for a moment, steps right back up.
• 50:36
  Cooper trying to hold Potech at first.
• 50:39
  He's aboard with one out, we're in the top of the third.
• 50:41
  Here's the stretch, the pitch again, Potech not running and a high fly ball.
• 50:45
  Well hit the left center, the Gorman-Thomas is over there, brings it down and they're two men gone.
• 50:51
  Willie hit it well but he's out.
• 50:54
  Potech at first with two out now for George Brett.
• 51:00
  George hit the ball hard but lying to right his first time up.
• 51:08
  George a 330 hitter, he was but one for 10 against Milwaukee and Kansas City in the three game series.
• 51:13
  So he's just one for 11 against the Brewers right now.
• 51:19
  He undoubtedly feels his FBOs in a few hits.
• 51:23
  Left hander against left hander, Caldwell and Brett.
• 51:26
  Potech elated first, the stretch and the pitch.
• 51:29
  Chopped foul by Brett, one strike to count.
• 51:34
  After three, the Phillies leading Cincinnati three to one.
• 51:38
  After five, Houston one, Monterey all one.
• 51:42
  California leading Detroit five to three after four in Detroit.
• 51:46
  Toronto five, Oakland nothing after seven.
• 51:49
  Cleveland nine, Seattle two after five innings.
• 51:53
  White Sox in front of Boston two to one after an inning.
• 51:56
  The pitch here to Brett, breaking ball for a strike and George in the hole, O and two.
• 52:02
  The Yankees and the Rangers are tied one one after four.
• 52:05
  And Baltimore leading Minnesota one to nothing after three.
• 52:12
  Caldwell with working room now.
• 52:15
  O and two to count, here's the stretch and the pitch.
• 52:18
  Way low on outside, the count's one ball two strikes to George.
• 52:25
  Since the first of May, George Brett has been one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball.
• 52:33
  Oh, he just came to life.
• 52:36
  One two pitch on the way.
• 52:38
  Line and left field, it's a foul ball, just barely.
• 52:42
  George had a twisting line drive over third that looked like it was going to drop in fair territory.
• 52:48
  But at the last moment it twisted foul.
• 52:52
  So it cost Brett extra bases, it might have cost the Royals a run.
• 52:57
  Zero one and two and George.
• 52:59
  A long walk back to the plate to try it again.
• 53:03
  Amos Otis in the on deck circle, hopeful of hitting if Brett gets the board.
• 53:11
  George talking to the play down by Bill Haller taking a look at where the ball landed.
• 53:19
  Now Brett back in and Caldwell again looks to Charlie Moore for a sign.
• 53:23
  Potek will eat it first, here's the stretch, the one two pitch.
• 53:27
  Ball outside and the count evens out two two.
• 53:36
  Caldwell in no hurry with a man on base, he has slowed down considerably.
• 53:42
  Now he's ready, here's the stretch and the two two pitch to George Brett.
• 53:45
  He breaks contact instead.
• 53:51
  Potek does not have a big lead at the moment.
• 53:56
  Dick to Brett, ground ball to second.
• 53:58
  Bobbiter has it on the big hop, goes to first and the inning's over.
• 54:01
  Brett out second to first, the Royals unite in the top of the third, no runs or hits.
• 54:05
  They leave a man and we go to the bottom of the third, it's still the Brewers four and the Royals coming.
• 54:10
  Slow game so far at Milwaukee County Stadium, how about this score now?
• 54:15
  We just got something in on the Western Union ticker in the AAA international leg.
• 54:19
  The Rockets, the Red Wings and the Toledo Mudhands.
• 54:23
  They played sevenings and we're trying to figure out on the computer the score.
• 54:27
  Rochester had nine in the first, nine in the second, nine in the third, two in the fourth, nine in the fifth, nine in the sixth, nine in the seventh.
• 54:33
  And the old Rochester Red Wing, our engineer, Chief Bartlett going wild in the control room, hold it Ralph, hold it, sit down.
• 54:41
  Toledo nine in the first, nine in the second, nine in the third, two in the fourth, nine in the fifth, one in the sixth, nine in the seventh.
• 54:48
  So it's Rochester 56, Toledo 48.
• 54:54
  So now Chief Bartlett is kind of a little concerned now about whether they can hold them off or not.
• 55:00
  Chief Bartlett is the honorary mayor of the city of Rochester and he's winging it of course there in the control room for AFRTS tonight.
• 55:06
  Let's check some more scores and we'll check back in that wild ball game, 56, 48 and see if I'm sure.
• 55:13
  I'd type a traffic alert somewhere over either that, they've got the Little League pitchers in there.
• 55:18
  California, Detroit, four and a half innings to play.
• 55:20
  The Angels five, the Tigers three, New York and Texas after four and a half.
• 55:24
  It's all tied up. The Yankees won, the Rangers won.
• 55:27
  Baltimore, Minnesota, they set his home run in the fifth inning.
• 55:31
  The Orioles now lead Minnesota by a score of two to nothing.
• 55:38
  Bottom of the third, four to nothing Milwaukee.
• 55:40
  We owe you a station break. We'll get through it as quickly as we can here.
• 55:43
  The first six to six to Lescano now back out of play and we'll take a right here.
• 55:47
  We'll pause ten seconds for station identification on the Royal Baseball Network.
• 55:54
  This is the American Forces radio and television service.
• 56:01
  The Bluehorns have Lescano, Yelp and Dick Davis scheduled to hear here in the bottom of the third.
• 56:05
  Pick low into the dirt one and one.
• 56:08
  They have great ball footwork for four runs and six hits over the first two innings.
• 56:13
  Foot babbling to get things turned around.
• 56:15
  Close the one-one pitch.
• 56:17
  Breaking ball for a strike.
• 56:19
  Curve well thrown and it's one and two.
• 56:22
  Lescano walked his first time up.
• 56:24
  A three-twenty hitter with eight home runs.
• 56:27
  Pitch to him.
• 56:28
  That ball outside, two and two.
• 56:35
  The outfield.
• 56:37
  Sheet of torch left against the right-handed hitting Lescano.
• 56:39
  Off-speed pitch misses away in a full count three and two.
• 56:42
  And Paul Spindorf continues to throw a lot of pitches.
• 56:48
  He missed his last start because of the flu.
• 56:51
  He's having problems with control here tonight.
• 56:53
  Three-two pitch.
• 56:54
  High foul ball back and out of play.
• 56:57
  Porter and George Scott chasing it, but it's well into the seat.
• 57:00
  They've had an incident at Shea Stadium in New York.
• 57:04
  Atlanta pitcher Phil Necro was hit in the head with a pitch ball, was forced to leave the game.
• 57:09
  No action has been taken against Mets pitcher Craig Swan, but Atlanta manager Bobby Cox charged the mound and had to be restrained.
• 57:16
  He was not ejected from the game.
• 57:18
  Mets are leading Atlanta 1-0 and Phil Necro hit in the head with a pitch and left that ball game.
• 57:25
  Three-two pitch to Lescano is low ball four.
• 57:32
  So Paul Spindorf makes his third walk.
• 57:34
  He has walked the leadoff man here in the bottom of the third.
• 57:37
  Now here comes Robin Yandu to single his first time up.
• 57:43
  You know Pabst's beer is going to leg all by itself because Pabst is rude naturally.
• 57:48
  You can taste it.
• 57:51
  George Scott paying a visit to the mound to talk to Paul Spindorf.
• 58:00
  So the Brewers up for it and up and get their leadoff man aboard here in the third.
• 58:04
  Now Robin Yandu in the batter's box.
• 58:06
  Paul Spindorf picks up the sign from Porter.
• 58:09
  Check Lescano at first.
• 58:10
  Here's the pitch.
• 58:12
  High foul ball on the play down the right field side.
• 58:15
  One strike to count.
• 58:31
  Spindorf ready again.
• 58:34
  Now the pitch. Yandu takes inside. The count evens out one-one.
• 58:45
  Well the White Sox pounding Boston.
• 58:47
  It's now seven to two in the bottom of the third.
• 58:49
  Jim Rice at his 13th home run.
• 58:52
  Well the Red Sox in the third with nobody on but Chicago scores five in a second.
• 58:55
  There's a little tap back to the mound. Spindorf looks at second but he's only played a first.
• 58:59
  In time on a close play they get Robin Yandu.
• 59:02
  The play goes one-three. Lescano moves to second.
• 59:07
  And now Dick Davis, the designated hitter, the number eight hitter in the lineup.
• 59:11
  He's grounded his third his first time up.
• 59:13
  They're in the bottom of the fifth in Detroit, California leading Detroit five to two.
• 59:18
  Bottom of the fifth in Texas. Yankees one, Texas one.
• 59:23
  Top of the fifth in Minnesota, the Orioles one. Gwyns nothing.
• 59:32
  Dick Davis the right-handed batter in. Spindorf set. Here's the pitch.
• 59:36
  Strike on the inside corner. Davis giving ground.
• 59:39
  But Spindorf picks up the inside corner. Four-nothing Brewers the bottom of the third.
• 59:44
  Lescano at second with one out.
• 59:49
  Here's the pitch. All inside one-on-one.
• 59:56
  Dennis Leonard throwing in the bullpen again tonight.
• 1:00:00
  Now Rodriguez is up throwing. Dennis Leonard is pin throwing along with Paul Spindorf.
• 1:00:05
  When Spindorf is pitching, Leonard gets up and throws in the bullpen.
• 1:00:08
  He did that when Steve Busby pitched against Boston.
• 1:00:10
  He's hopeful of getting a start in Oakland but he's not sure right now.
• 1:00:13
  Two-and-one to count to Davis now. Porter puts down his time. Paul Spindorf is set.
• 1:00:23
  Here's the stretch and the pitch. High fly ball center field.
• 1:00:27
  Amos Nunes drifting in. 100 now makes the catch and there are two men gone.
• 1:00:33
  So Davis out on a fly ball to center.
• 1:00:36
  And now Clinton will work to the number nine hitter, Charlie Morris.
• 1:00:41
  He was called out on strikes his first time up.
• 1:00:45
  His average win of game began 362.
• 1:00:50
  Over and 15 RBI.
• 1:00:57
  So Charlie Morris has been swinging a hot bat all year for Milwaukee.
• 1:01:03
  Lescano deleted second. Spindorf off the stretch.
• 1:01:06
  First pitch to Charlie Morris on the way.
• 1:01:08
  High fly ball to deep left field.
• 1:01:11
  Back goes Willie Wilson to the corner. He leaps and it is time. All right.
• 1:01:15
  And it's six to nothing, Milwaukee.
• 1:01:31
  Charlie Morris hits his second home run of the year.
• 1:01:35
  Second of the ball game. And Whitey Herzog very reluctantly out of the dugout.
• 1:01:40
  Points to the bullpen and he's going to bring in Eduardo Rodriguez.
• 1:01:44
  So the last thing on earth that Whitey Herzog wanted tonight, a quick exit for his starting pitcher is happening.
• 1:01:50
  Paul Spindorf battled but he never could find his stuff.
• 1:01:53
  And he leaves in the bottom of the third down six to nothing. There are two out and nobody on.
• 1:01:58
  The man ball monitor will hit Rodriguez from the bullpen with a score against Milwaukee 6 to Royal 7.
• 1:02:05
  Well, vacation or close to it in a game tonight at Montreal between the Astros and the Montreal Expos.
• 1:02:15
  Nickro Pitcher was hit. Bill Nickro was hit in the head with a pitch ball.
• 1:02:19
  Was forced to leave the game on the sixth inning. No action was taken against Mets pitcher Crick Swann.
• 1:02:24
  Atlanta manager Bobby Cox charged the mound, had to be restrained but was not ejected.
• 1:02:30
  Out of action, not much hitting but a little extracurricular activity out there at the Expos Stadium.
• 1:02:36
  It's one to one after five innings play.
• 1:02:39
  Latest National League figures show the first of the Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates hold all the top spots in the All-Star voting.
• 1:02:47
  Three of the leading infield both getters are Phillies Pete Rose at first, Larry Bowe at chart top and Mike Schmidt at third.
• 1:02:53
  Johnny Bench of the Reds has moved into the number one position among catchers.
• 1:02:56
  11,000 votes ahead of Ted Simmons at the Cardinals.
• 1:02:59
  Bench has started every All-Star game since Van Baliding returned in 1970.
• 1:03:04
  Davey Lopes at the Los Angeles Dodgers has a 30,000 vote lead over Cincinnati's Joe Morgan at second base.
• 1:03:12
  The three leading vote getters in the outfield are Philadelphia's Greg Lozinski, Pittsburgh's Dave Parker and Cincinnati's George Foster.
• 1:03:21
  Mark Rial in Houston are in first place in the Eastern and Western divisions of the league but neither has a player higher than fifth in the voting.
• 1:03:31
  Eduardo Rodriguez out of the bullpen. It is six to nothing Milwaukee.
• 1:03:37
  We're just in the bottom of the third and trying to give you an idea why.
• 1:03:41
  Why the Erzogs fill the left in to give an idea why.
• 1:03:44
  How well kind of shaped the Royal Fishing Staff is in.
• 1:03:47
  Here comes Ed Rodriguez. And just two nights ago, Eduardo Rodriguez was five and a third innings against the Red Sox.
• 1:03:54
  The two days before that he had pitched two and two-thirds innings against the Yankees and just two days before that he had gone three and a third.
• 1:04:02
  So why the Erzogs, very reluctant to use him earlier tonight, is forced to do exactly that.
• 1:04:13
  And I guess you'd have to say that the Royal bullpen is pretty well-candored right now and Paul Fudorf just couldn't give him very much here this evening.
• 1:04:19
  He admits his last start with the flu and it's pretty obvious from the onset that he did not have his stuff tonight.
• 1:04:26
  The Brewers got two in for seven hits, six runs, a three-run homer by Bando, a two-run homer by Charlie Moore.
• 1:04:33
  And the Royals are buried in the third inning here and they're going to have to crawl out of the D.C. poll if they're going to do any good here tonight.
• 1:04:40
  And then you really have to wonder where the answer is. It's obviously going to be from the starting pitchers getting a couple of good turns and giving the bullpen some rest.
• 1:04:49
  And pitchers being like hitters go into slumps, but you have to hope they get it turned around pretty soon, huh?
• 1:04:55
  There's very little that Whitey can do. There's very little that we can say. It's just a dumb trice to battle your way out of it.
• 1:05:02
  There are no answers. You just have to go out there and throw strikes so if your defense can get the job done for you.
• 1:05:07
  If you can't, then you don't win. It's just that simple.
• 1:05:10
  There is another item that hasn't been talked about very much, the Bears.
• 1:05:14
  The Royals defense is next to last in the American League.
• 1:05:17
  But you also have to stop and think that George Redfield injured.
• 1:05:20
  Frank White was out for a number of games. Freddie Potek missed a lot of ball games.
• 1:05:23
  Al Cowan missed a lot of ball games.
• 1:05:25
  So there was not really the pure Royals defense out there and that statistic could be a little bit misleading.
• 1:05:31
  At any rate, Ed Rodriguez in a ball game now and he may be a bit weary.
• 1:05:37
  Again, just two days ago he went five in a third inning.
• 1:05:41
  And you have to wonder how much he can give the Royals here tonight.
• 1:05:45
  Monitor steps in. He has single-slice and scored twice.
• 1:05:48
  Golden two bases. Rodriguez to Monitor.
• 1:05:50
  Goes a right on by to reporter ball one.
• 1:05:53
  Eduardo, a former Brewer, working against his old teammate to pitch to ball Monitor.
• 1:06:08
  Ball misses to and oh.
• 1:06:14
  Pitch to nothing, Milwaukee, and we're just in the bottom of the third.
• 1:06:17
  Here's the two-oh delivering. Ball three-oh. Rodriguez misses with his first three-pitch.
• 1:06:26
  Now to reporter walking them out. He wants to talk to Eduardo Rodriguez.
• 1:06:36
  Whitey Herzog still with Fletcher.
• 1:06:38
  Marches about tomorrow with still lifting either Marty Patton or Steve Busby against Jim Clayton.
• 1:06:42
  But as you know, Paul the groin muscle is in that tremendous outing against the Red Sox.
• 1:06:47
  Three-oh pitch to Monitor here.
• 1:06:49
  Right call to three-and-one.
• 1:06:58
  Here's the pitch. Mother fouls one back out of play. Full count three-and-two.
• 1:07:03
  Goodness, this game's been going for an hour and fifteen minutes and we're only in the bottom of the third.
• 1:07:11
  How much offense the Brewers have had.
• 1:07:20
  Three-two pitch foul back again.
• 1:07:22
  Now the ticker is in Atlanta's direction. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox was ejected from the ball game
• 1:07:28
  because of his confrontation with Fletcher's Craig Swan after one hit. Phil Negril in the head with a pitch.
• 1:07:36
  Now Jeff Brewers is homer for the Braves and the seventh with Bill Bodie on and they're tied one-one.
• 1:07:40
  Pitch to Monitor again. A slow rollover up long third. George Brett charging.
• 1:07:44
  Rolls it out of his left leg. Can't get it. Monitor's safe.
• 1:07:50
  Face-hit for Paul Monitor as a slow bouncer up third. George may not have been able to get him anyway,
• 1:07:55
  but he had trouble getting the ball out of his glove and it cost him whatever chance he might have had.
• 1:08:02
  Johnny Vance is homer for the Reds in the fifth inning with a man on his fifth home run of the year.
• 1:08:06
  Cincinnati six, Philadelphia three now in the fifth.
• 1:08:09
  James Summers is homer for Detroit in the fifth with Bill Bodie on his third.
• 1:08:13
  The Tigers have gone in front of the Angels six to five in Detroit.
• 1:08:28
  Rodriguez running. First pitch in to Cecil Cooper misses Paul White. Eight hits now for Milwaukee.
• 1:08:46
  Eduardo Rodriguez off his stretch to pitch. Strike on the outside corner. One ball, one strike.
• 1:09:00
  Cooper is single. He's down on a five-ball to right. A 295 hitter with 11 home runs.
• 1:09:07
  So the first runner back. Milwaukee with a lot of bombers on his ball club.
• 1:09:16
  They're tied with the Boston Reds off for the league leadership in home runs.
• 1:09:19
  Pitch outside. Misses two and one. The Brewers have hit 67 home runs this year.
• 1:09:27
  The Loyals by contrast, 41.
• 1:09:33
  Mom and her edging away at first very safely. The pitch swung and missed.
• 1:09:37
  Two balls, two strikes to Cecil Cooper.
• 1:09:48
  Well, the early indications that the Loyals ran for a long night here at County Stadium.
• 1:09:53
  Still a long, long way to go. They face the toughie and Mike Caldwell.
• 1:09:58
  Pitch grounded foul, pass first. But remember back just a few short days ago when Tommy John and the Yankees had the Loyals down five to nothing in the middle of a ball game.
• 1:10:09
  The Loyals came back and won that one.
• 1:10:17
  Two balls, two strikes. Cooper waiting. Rodriguez fits. Shots fouled again. The count remains 2-2.
• 1:10:36
  Zero Porter through the signs and Rodriguez at the belt to pitch again. Fouled back out of play again.
• 1:10:53
  So now Cooper and Rodriguez in quite a battle here. Still two balls, two strikes.
• 1:10:59
  Again, Muller at first with two outs. Here's the pitch. Fouled it off again.
• 1:11:07
  So Cooper won't give, neither will Ed Rodriguez.
• 1:11:14
  Phil Honner, the plate umpire, chased that ball halfway to the Loyals dugout and gave it back to Rodriguez.
• 1:11:25
  Now Ed's set to work again. Rodriguez at the belt. Again the 2-2 pitch. Again it's fouled back.
• 1:11:37
  That ball came rolling up the screen and hit somewhere under our booth.
• 1:11:43
  Something's going to have to give pretty soon.
• 1:11:50
  Now Cooper steps out of it. He might be getting arm-wary. He's had a lot of swings up there this time.
• 1:12:05
  Now the pitch. There's a drive at deep center field back to his Amazonas with room.
• 1:12:11
  He's there, he's got it, and the inning is over. But the Brewers' short few more runs.
• 1:12:16
  Two hits, they left the match. And after three, the Milwaukee six, the Royals coming.
• 1:12:22
  Game over in the American League at Toronto. Tom Underwood hurled a five-hitter to snap a personal 15-game losing streak.
• 1:12:28
  Enrico Cardi doubled up one run and scored two others, the sparks at Toronto Blue Jays, to a 6-0 victory over the Oakland A's.
• 1:12:36
  Underwood now 1-9, struck out one, walked one, while not allowing an Oakland runner past second base.
• 1:12:42
  The left-hander's last victory came on August 8, 1978, against the Baltimore Orioles.
• 1:12:49
  Atlanta knuckleballer Phil Negros was removed from Friday night's game against the New York Mets after being hit in the head by Craig Swann fastball.
• 1:12:57
  The incident precipitated a bench and bullpen clearing altercation between home plate and the pitcher's mound when Atlanta manager Bobby Cox had words with Swann.
• 1:13:07
  Negros went to the ground after the pitch, but seconds later was up and walking around.
• 1:13:12
  Pitcher Buddy Solomon was inserted as a pinch runner after a 10-minute delay until Maloflan took over on the mound for Negros in the sixth.
• 1:13:21
  The pitch may have been in retaliation of a Negros brushback of Swann in the fifth when the New York pitcher squared the punt with one out and runners at first and second.
• 1:13:31
  Negros' first pitch was a high fastball to hit Swann's bat as the Mets pitcher tried to avoid being hit by the pitch.
• 1:13:38
  And Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Roy Howell is in place on the 15-day disabled list.
• 1:13:43
  He cut his right-hand face running the other night when he tried to break up a double play in a game against the California Angels.
• 1:13:51
  To the fourth we go, Milwaukee 6, the Royal Tuckings.
• 1:13:55
  It'll be Amos Oduz, Al Cowans, and George Scott for the Royals.
• 1:14:01
  Amos has been struggling at the plate lately. He has but seven hits in his last 43 at bat.
• 1:14:06
  His average just dipped under 300. He was 298 when the game began.
• 1:14:11
  Got it after the pitcher his first time up tonight. He hit Mike Caldwell extremely well last year.
• 1:14:16
  Oduz last season, 5 for 9 with a home run against Mike Caldwell.
• 1:14:20
  First pitch, Amos. That's a pretty good cut, Amos. One strike to count.
• 1:14:29
  Oduz knocks some dirt out of his spikes.
• 1:14:37
  Caldwell looks to Moore for a sign. The left-hander whining and here comes the pitch.
• 1:14:41
  Strike called, 0-2 to Oduz.
• 1:14:44
  Well, one of the problems what he has right now is they don't hand out magic wands anymore.
• 1:14:49
  If so, he could just wave the magic wand and all the pitching woes and all the other woes would be cured.
• 1:14:56
  Injured players would be well. It just doesn't work like that.
• 1:15:01
  Pitch outside, 1-2.
• 1:15:05
  So all they can do is hope that his pitchers can pitch their way out of it.
• 1:15:09
  His hitters can produce, the defense plays, and Royals get it going again.
• 1:15:15
  Ground ball headed for left. Robin Yacht backhand, keeping the hole. Long throw. Oduz beat it. He's safe.
• 1:15:22
  A base hit for Amos Oduz to start the Royals half of the fourth.
• 1:15:27
  The one thing you have to look at, two things, really.
• 1:15:30
  Number one, Royals are very much in a race. There's only four games left.
• 1:15:34
  Number two, after tonight there are 99 games left in this season.
• 1:15:41
  The one thing they cannot do is hit the panic button.
• 1:15:47
  This is the same pitching staff that pitched the Royals to three divisional titles in a row.
• 1:15:52
  Basically the same ball club that won them.
• 1:15:55
  So it was a foolish to panic.
• 1:15:59
  Rick Dow Cowans now. All low.
• 1:16:04
  About all they can do is be patient with themselves, ask their fans to be patient.
• 1:16:08
  Who knows, maybe when the Royals come off this road trip, maybe things will have begun to turn around.
• 1:16:13
  Maybe not. The time will tell.
• 1:16:19
  Stretched by Caldwell to pitch. High fly ball, shallow right.
• 1:16:23
  Out goes Bonner, the second baseman calling for it.
• 1:16:25
  Back pedaling to make the catch.
• 1:16:29
  Cowans pops the second.
• 1:16:32
  Otis holds his first. And here now George Scott who drove Gorman Thomas to the wall in center field his first time up.
• 1:16:39
  The Texas Rangers have dropped a big inning on the Yankees.
• 1:16:44
  Texas scores eight times in the fifth.
• 1:16:49
  And the Rangers are now leading the Yankees nine to one after five.
• 1:16:55
  It should be noted that George Steinbrenner joined the Yankees in Minnesota.
• 1:16:59
  He is making that trip to Texas with the ball club.
• 1:17:02
  They have not been doing it all well of late.
• 1:17:05
  First the pitch to Scott.
• 1:17:07
  Lined in the right field, it's going to drop for a base hit.
• 1:17:10
  Otis holds his second and George Scott is the ball with his first hit in the Royal Uniform.
• 1:17:15
  So the boomer's in a play tonight, he's hit it hard two times.
• 1:17:19
  But noteworthy that George Steinbrenner is with the Yankees in Texas.
• 1:17:24
  You have to wonder about the future.
• 1:17:31
  And specifically the future of Bob Lemon to be quite frank about it as the manager of New York.
• 1:17:35
  How long has it been since George had his name in the newspaper?
• 1:17:38
  It's been a while so something might get there.
• 1:17:44
  Porter now to hit her.
• 1:17:46
  The Royals down six to nothing.
• 1:17:51
  If somebody could yank one out of here they'd be back in the ball game.
• 1:17:58
  Darrell ground it into a fourth out his first time up.
• 1:18:00
  Two-ninet-six with seven home runs.
• 1:18:02
  The numbers for Darrell Porter, the pitch.
• 1:18:04
  Ground ball, shot foul, pass first.
• 1:18:06
  One strike to Porter.
• 1:18:08
  The Royals now with four hits.
• 1:18:16
  John Lawson in the on-deck circle will be next barring to double play.
• 1:18:26
  Probably one thing the Royals were very glad to see right there was George Scott going the other way.
• 1:18:32
  There are those who will tell you that the stroke he was using because of Fenway was what was keeping his average down.
• 1:18:38
  So conscious of that wall in Fenway with Scott that he was trying to pull the ball consistently.
• 1:18:43
  That time he went the other way and hit a Wickenbein drive.
• 1:18:46
  Ball on the strike now to Porter.
• 1:18:47
  Call well with a sign from Charlie Moore.
• 1:18:52
  Left hander is ready.
• 1:18:53
  Here's the one-one pitch.
• 1:18:54
  Breaking ball inside, two-and-one.
• 1:18:59
  Douglas Sinsley is homing for Baltimore in the fifth with nobody on his fifth.
• 1:19:02
  The Orioles waiting Minnesota to do nothing.
• 1:19:09
  Toronto's sixth, Oakland nothing after eight.
• 1:19:14
  Cleveland continues to wail on Seattle.
• 1:19:17
  Eleven to two in the bottom of the sixth in Cleveland.
• 1:19:19
  The Indians lead the Mariners.
• 1:19:26
  Now to stretch the two-one pitch to Darryl Porter.
• 1:19:29
  Bouncer foul pass bird.
• 1:19:33
  What's past ten seconds here?
• 1:19:35
  Station identification on the Royals baseball network.
• 1:19:51
  We're back to count two-two on Darryl Porter.
• 1:19:54
  Otis at second, Scott at first with one out.
• 1:19:57
  We're in the top of the fourth, Milwaukee leading six to nothing.
• 1:20:02
  Mike Callwell fidgeting around on the mound.
• 1:20:09
  Now getting set.
• 1:20:12
  Here's the stretch, the two-two pitch on the way.
• 1:20:15
  Porter swings and lines one up the middle, base in center field.
• 1:20:18
  Otis around third, headed for home.
• 1:20:19
  Scott stops at second.
• 1:20:20
  Porter holds at first with a single.
• 1:20:22
  And Darryl is giving in his 49th run of the year.
• 1:20:25
  And the Royals are on the scoreboard here at County Stadium.
• 1:20:27
  It's now six to one, Milwaukee.
• 1:20:31
  And John Wampen now headed for the plate.
• 1:20:37
  Wampen in now, Callwell breaking contact.
• 1:20:59
  Three hits in the inning, the Royals now have five hits in the ballgame.
• 1:21:02
  Callwell again breaks contact.
• 1:21:09
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:21:11
  Ball outside, ball one.
• 1:21:13
  Frank White next.
• 1:21:16
  If Wampen can get a base in here, he could set up what could be a pretty beginning for the Royals.
• 1:21:22
  Duke set.
• 1:21:23
  Callwell ready, here's the pitch.
• 1:21:25
  Swung and fouled off, and the count evens out a ball and a strike.
• 1:21:48
  Wampen waiting while Callwell reads signs.
• 1:21:50
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:21:51
  Ball inside and low, two and one.
• 1:21:58
  The Royals trying to get their offense cranked up here.
• 1:22:00
  Down by five runs at the moment.
• 1:22:05
  Charlie Moore puts down a sign.
• 1:22:08
  Left hander Mike Callwell sets a 2-1 pitch.
• 1:22:11
  Wampen swings at the ground ball to second, might be two.
• 1:22:13
  Second base one, back to first, double.
• 1:22:15
  Wild throw, here comes Shaka score, Wampen headed for second base to throw in into Milwaukee dugout.
• 1:22:23
  And it's now a six to two ballgame.
• 1:22:25
  I said ground ball to second, I meant ground ball to third.
• 1:22:27
  Sal Bando came up with it, made the throw to second, the Mothers relay went on into the Milwaukee dugout.
• 1:22:36
  So the play goes five-four.
• 1:22:40
  And error four, Wampen at second base now.
• 1:22:42
  Another run home, it's now a six to two ballgame, and here's Frank White.
• 1:22:49
  Scott scores, zero border out on the fourth out.
• 1:22:54
  John Watson does not get an RBI on the play.
• 1:22:58
  And now here's Frank.
• 1:23:01
  White grounded to third his first time up, and if he hit here it would cut the Brewer lead in half.
• 1:23:05
  Two runs home in the inning, the pitch.
• 1:23:08
  Line down the left field, line, but it's hooking and foul.
• 1:23:11
  Well White hit it hard, but foul.
• 1:23:16
  That was with extra bases.
• 1:23:19
  And all of a sudden the Royal Bats starting to make some noise.
• 1:23:25
  Now he gets a board, Fred Pockek will hit the inning.
• 1:23:47
  White waiting, Caldwell reading the signs again.
• 1:23:51
  Now the stretch, here's the pitch.
• 1:23:53
  Ground ball to second base.
• 1:23:55
  Bobbiter has it, flips to first and the inning's over.
• 1:23:58
  So White out second to first within the inning.
• 1:24:00
  Royal score two, three hits, an error, and a man left.
• 1:24:05
  And we go now to the bottom of the fourth, Milwaukee sixth, and the Royal two.
• 1:24:10
  We have a correction now on the ticker on that game that we mentioned a while ago.
• 1:24:14
  And the triple A Rochester and Toledo, they score 56 to 48 after seven, the Red Wings.
• 1:24:21
  And the final score, Toledo defeated Rochester by a score of six to four.
• 1:24:28
  Late finishing Larry Nelson equaled the best round of the tournament today with a three under par 68
• 1:24:33
  to share the second round lead with Tom Perger at the U.S. Open Golf Championship.
• 1:24:37
  But Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus played themselves out of contention.
• 1:24:41
  Nelson moved into the lead by himself with a birdie in the 16th hole,
• 1:24:45
  but he bogeyed number 17 to fall back into a tie with Perger at three under par 139.
• 1:24:51
  Perger started early and shot a fine 69.
• 1:24:54
  Though he claimed he didn't deserve his position,
• 1:24:56
  his name stood alone on the leaderboard for some six hours before Nelson caught him.
• 1:25:00
  Former Open champ Hale Irwin matched Nelson's round at 68 to move into third place at 142,
• 1:25:06
  making himself the only other player in the field of 153 to match par for 36 holes.
• 1:25:12
  Bill Rogers is one more stroke back at 143 following a 72.
• 1:25:17
  Watson opened his round with a triple bogey and never did recover.
• 1:25:21
  He added a double bogey and five bogeys to wind up with a six over par 77 and a two round score of 152.
• 1:25:27
  Nicklaus didn't fare any better with four bogeys and a double bogey on his first seven holes.
• 1:25:32
  The Golden Bear settled for 77. That left him at 151.
• 1:25:37
  The final round of the fourth county stadium Milwaukee. The Brewers lead the Royals 6-2.
• 1:25:42
  It'll be Sal Bando, Gorman Thomas, and Ben Ogilvie.
• 1:25:45
  The heart of the order is the number three, four, and five hitters.
• 1:25:48
  Four Milwaukee. Ed Rodriguez back to the mound.
• 1:25:55
  Milwaukee six runs, eight hits. The Royals two runs on five hits.
• 1:25:59
  Rodriguez to Bando, this is high, ball one.
• 1:26:03
  Bando opened and his third gave up a single to Paul Molliter, then got Cecil Cooper on a fly ball to end the inning.
• 1:26:08
  And he's back now for round four.
• 1:26:10
  The line, the pitch to Sal Bando on the way. Swung and missed. County wins out one-one.
• 1:26:15
  Bando hit a three-run homer in the first and then Watson a second.
• 1:26:22
  He has a big blow in the ball game so far. Charlie Mora, two-run homer for Milwaukee.
• 1:26:26
  From Rodriguez, now two balls and a strike.
• 1:26:40
  Here's the two-one pitch. Strike on the inside corner. The county wins out two-two.
• 1:26:51
  Rodriguez trying to retire the leadoff man here in the bottom of the fourth. The pitch.
• 1:26:56
  Shifts missed outside of ball count three and two. Bando had a notion but checked his swing.
• 1:27:04
  Sal's average winner night began, two-twenty-eight.
• 1:27:08
  Ground ball hit it for left, eight hits.
• 1:27:12
  Sal Bando aboard with a single.
• 1:27:14
  The Brewer hit for eight continues. Their ninth base hit tonight.
• 1:27:22
  Now in three of the four things we played, the Brewers have had their leadoff man aboard and they've been catching him.
• 1:27:27
  Here's Torm and Thomas. He's grounded out in single driven inner run.
• 1:27:33
  Thomas, the center fielder hitting in the number four spot in the lineup tonight.
• 1:28:33
  A strike in outside six-six after six-hitting. Strike on the outside corner. One strike to Gorman Thomas.
• 1:28:46
  Ed Rodriguez has been used a lot lately. Fishing was very little there.
• 1:28:51
  He's trying to hold things together for the Royals.
• 1:28:54
  Swing and a miss by Thomas, two strikes to count.
• 1:29:00
  He would be very doubtful at this point that Ed Rodriguez could finish the ballgame.
• 1:29:07
  Having gone five and a third just two days ago.
• 1:29:13
  His stance right now, just keep the Royals in the middle part of the ballgame. See what the offense can produce.
• 1:29:18
  The pitch by Rodriguez. High cowering fly to left. Willie Wilson coming in, still moving in under it. Now makes the catch and there's one away.
• 1:29:30
  Thomas out on the fly ball to the left. Bando holds it first. He's there with one out of it.
• 1:29:35
  Now Ben Ogilvy who's been out on the fly ball deep to center and grounded his second.
• 1:29:41
  Thomas here tonight. Robert and Leanne Stavonic from Atchison, Canada who are on a bicycling trip to Canada.
• 1:29:51
  Want to say hello to their friends back in Atchison. They have yet to figure out if they're on a bicycle trip to Canada.
• 1:29:56
  How they have to begin Milwaukee, Wisconsin tonight.
• 1:30:01
  Unless they have moved Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the heartland of Canada somehow. Maybe they're on their way up there.
• 1:30:09
  Faisal Cooper takes one and misses. Ball one.
• 1:30:23
  The pitch again to Faisal Cooper misses outside.
• 1:30:31
  Two balls, no strikes.
• 1:30:36
  The final, Serrano's sixth, Oakland nothing.
• 1:30:39
  Tom Underwood got his first run of the year. He broke the losing streak. He's now one to nine. Hamilton the loser, two and one.
• 1:30:46
  Bobby Bader got the game-winning RBI.
• 1:30:49
  Dan Landrow is over for the twins in the sixth with nobody on his sixth home run of the year.
• 1:30:54
  It's Baltimore two, Minnesota one now.
• 1:30:58
  Ball four to Faisal Cooper.
• 1:31:01
  A letter from Ogilvie. Ogilvie draws the base on balls. The first ball is given by Rod Rekers.
• 1:31:07
  So now runners at first and second just one out.
• 1:31:10
  The Brewers who have scored in every inning threaten to score again.
• 1:31:16
  They got three on Sal Bando's home run in the first. They scored one in the second.
• 1:31:20
  Then two on Charlie Morse's home run in the third.
• 1:31:23
  And now runners at first and second just one out and here's Faisal Oskano who has lost quite tonight.
• 1:31:31
  Oskano with three-twenty hitters.
• 1:31:34
  Rod Rekers ready to pitch.
• 1:31:37
  Ball one.
• 1:31:39
  And Ed Rod Rekers having trouble locating home plate now.
• 1:31:49
  Rod Rekers pitch. Right call and it's out evens out one-one.
• 1:32:03
  Pitch Oskano out of the batter's box a moment, steps back in.
• 1:32:07
  Oskano with a sign to pitch. Swing and a miss. Oskano after the breaking ball at one and two.
• 1:32:21
  Rod Rekers trying to keep the Royals afloat here. They're down six-two in the bottom of the fourth.
• 1:32:25
  And the Brewers threatening again here.
• 1:32:28
  Here's the one-two pitch.
• 1:32:30
  Line in the right field. It's going to fall for a base hit.
• 1:32:33
  Down third is going to score. Al Callen bobbles the ball and now overleaves a third base.
• 1:32:38
  Oskano holds it first and it's seven to two in the long run.
• 1:32:46
  Oskano a little ruber to the right.
• 1:32:51
  He drives in his thirty-ninth run of the year. No air is charged out. Callen's going to play.
• 1:32:57
  Cooper was headed for third so now runners at first and third.
• 1:33:00
  And the Brewers keep alive that string of having scored in every inning.
• 1:33:04
  Now Robin Yalow is singled and grounded after the pitcher.
• 1:33:11
  This game is an hour and forty minutes old and we are only in the bottom of the fourth.
• 1:33:35
  It is seven to two Brewers. They have ten hits. The Royals have five.
• 1:33:39
  Still just one half in the bottom of the fourth. The pitch.
• 1:33:42
  This is inside. Ball one.
• 1:33:48
  Steven Goehring now throwing in the Royal Ball pen.
• 1:33:56
  Oder puts down a sign.
• 1:33:59
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:34:01
  Strike on the inside corner. The count evens out one-one.
• 1:34:09
  Nick Davis in the on deck circle.
• 1:34:16
  Here's the one-one pitch. Inside gets away from Porter. The runners can't advance.
• 1:34:22
  Now two balls and a strike.
• 1:34:38
  Rodriguez is understandable.
• 1:34:42
  Now beginning to struggle.
• 1:34:45
  Now the two-one pitch. Ball inside. Three and one.
• 1:34:54
  Eduardo having problems with his control.
• 1:34:59
  Two singles and a walk can produce one run.
• 1:35:06
  Now three balls and a strike for Robin Yalow. The danger is thinner. The pitch.
• 1:35:11
  Long and missed. Full count three and two.
• 1:35:17
  And we'll see if the Brewers have a mind to send Sisco Vascano.
• 1:35:21
  Also be a third Vascano at first with one out.
• 1:35:25
  Here's the three-two pitch. The runner is going. It's ball four inside. The bases will notice.
• 1:35:32
  Now Galen Sisco headed for the mound to talk to his pitcher.
• 1:35:46
  Well you talk about a fellow that's not enjoying life at all these days.
• 1:35:51
  Along with Whitey Herzog, the left-hander, and the left-hander, Galen Sisco is suffering as much as anyone.
• 1:36:00
  He's like a father to the Royal Fishing staff.
• 1:36:04
  Well when they hurt, he hurts. And right now they're hurting, so he's hurting too.
• 1:36:08
  Bases loaded, one out.
• 1:36:10
  Nick Davis, the header, he's grounded out. He's been out on a fly ball.
• 1:36:15
  Brewers in front, seven and two.
• 1:36:26
  They were in front six and nothing. The Royals got two of them back, but now one more is short. Here's the pitch.
• 1:36:31
  Foul on a play, one strike.
• 1:36:36
  The Royals have hit Nick Davis extremely well. He's one for fourteen against Royal Fishing this year.
• 1:36:50
  One ball, one strike to Nick Davis now as Rodriguez misses.
• 1:37:02
  Rodriguez pitch, high fly ball, deep left field, back goes Woolley, grand slam, long run.
• 1:37:11
  It is 11-0-1.
• 1:37:41
  That's Galen Moore in Rodriguez. This is the first pitch, ball one.
• 1:37:57
  Full run number five for Dick Davis.
• 1:38:00
  Boy, are you talking about getting whacked.
• 1:38:02
  Royal Fishing has been doing exactly that the last few ball games.
• 1:38:06
  Strike called and it's one and one.
• 1:38:10
  The Royals came up three home runs, one of them a grand slam.
• 1:38:13
  The same thing here tonight.
• 1:38:16
  The pitch, ground ball up the middle.
• 1:38:19
  Knocked down by Frank White. Plotek picked it up, throws and they got him.
• 1:38:25
  Oh, a tremendous play by the middle defense of the Royals.
• 1:38:29
  Frank White got a glove on the ball, de-fluttered it toward the shortstop Fred Plotek.
• 1:38:33
  Plotek was moving to second, toward second.
• 1:38:36
  And he came up with it and throws out Tony Moore.
• 1:38:41
  It'll be four and six three the way the play is scored.
• 1:38:48
  So now two men out.
• 1:38:51
  And here's Paul Modu, who is already three for three in this game.
• 1:38:55
  We're only in the fourth inning.
• 1:38:57
  Pitch to him, lined right field. Out goes Frank White, Modu is four for four.
• 1:39:09
  A dozen hits now for Milwaukee. They have a two run homer, a three run homer, a grand slam home run.
• 1:39:20
  They're still batting in the fourth and they already have 11 runs on 12 hits.
• 1:39:31
  The Brewers have had 17 base runners in four innings.
• 1:39:39
  Good foul back.
• 1:39:54
  Beasel, Cooper, the hitter, the pitch.
• 1:39:58
  Ball high, one and one. Modu is four for four, Cooper tonight one for three.
• 1:40:09
  Eleven to two, Milwaukee in the bottom of the fourth.
• 1:40:12
  Here's the pitch.
• 1:40:15
  Ball outside, two and one.
• 1:40:31
  Rodriguez-Buddy delivers the can and gets a strike on the outside corner. The count evens out to two.
• 1:40:39
  Cleveland beats Seattle 13 to three tonight.
• 1:40:43
  The Mets have gone in front of Atlanta two to one. Atlanta batting the top of the ninth in New York.
• 1:40:50
  Swing and a foul tipped held by Porter and the inning is over as Cooper strikes out.
• 1:40:55
  But the Brewers get five runs.
• 1:40:58
  There were four hits, a man left. After the fourth, Milwaukee 11 to Royals two.
• 1:41:08
  Texas scoreboard, lots of games going. And the games on the West Coast about to start.
• 1:41:14
  One is already underway. That's Chicago and San Diego, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, and St. Louis and San Francisco up on the set.
• 1:41:21
  Nationally, games underway after eight. Houston won, Montreal won, Atlanta and New York after eight.
• 1:41:27
  The Mets lead the Braves two to one. Cincinnati after, Cincinnati after Philadelphia after seven.
• 1:41:32
  Six facilities, three. Bench home run is fifth of the year for the Reds and the Fives with one on.
• 1:41:38
  American League scoreboard, final. Toronto beat Oakland six nothing. We mentioned that a while ago.
• 1:41:44
  Six twelve zero for the Blue Jays, oh five two for the A's. Underwood the winner, his first win of the year.
• 1:41:49
  He's one to nine. Hamilton the loser two and one attendance at Toronto, Canada. 13,124.
• 1:41:56
  Cleveland is just beating Seattle 13 to three. Indians line score 13, 19, one. Mariners three, eight and two.
• 1:42:02
  Jones a home run for Seattle in the fourth, none on his fourteenth of the year.
• 1:42:06
  California, Detroit after six and a half. The Angels have a score to run the top of the seventh.
• 1:42:10
  They lead Sparky Anderson Tigers seven to six. Loss of homers in the game.
• 1:42:14
  Gritch has two for the Angels, his fourteenth and fifteenth of the year.
• 1:42:18
  Thompson Tigers fifth, one on his sixth of the year. Summer Detroit fifth, nobody on his third.
• 1:42:23
  And Lansford just hit one for California in the seventh, nobody on his seventh of the year.
• 1:42:27
  Five and a half innings to play, Chicago seven, Boston two. After six, Baltimore leads Minnesota two to one.
• 1:42:33
  And after six and a half, Texas nine, New York one. Eight runs for the Rangers against the Yankees.
• 1:42:39
  Home bet, good bye Louis Tion.
• 1:42:41
  We have played four at County Stadium, Milwaukee eleven, the Royals two. Buddy Potec will beat it off.
• 1:42:46
  And Peeva Tock has hit it for the Royals both end and we may see something here before this night's over that we haven't seen before.
• 1:42:52
  Tell you about the ball game and perhaps a bit more about that who's in it.
• 1:42:56
  Hi Fred. Buddy Potec leading off. Fred has a single in the game. He's one out of one.
• 1:43:02
  Peeva Tock, unbeknownst to most, has one of, and I'm serious about this, one of the very fine knuckleballs I have ever seen a baseball player throw on the sideline.
• 1:43:15
  Mike Caldwell's pitch to Potec is inside bowl one.
• 1:43:19
  A lot of players more or less play around on the sideline.
• 1:43:24
  You know all, all everyday players want to be pitchers.
• 1:43:28
  Outside all pitchers want to be everyday players. Just like all actors and singers want to be ball players. All ball players would like to be singers and actors.
• 1:43:37
  Well Peeva Tock is going to the bullpen and if need be I think we'll see him pitch.
• 1:43:43
  And he might show us some knuckleball because I've seen Bruce Dowd-Canton throw on the side.
• 1:43:48
  I've stood alongside one. Wilbur Wood watched his knuckleball.
• 1:43:53
  And Pete, if he could get it in the strike zone, it would be the equal to Bruce Dowd-Canton.
• 1:43:58
  Fly ball right field. Potec retired, one away.
• 1:44:02
  Well Freddy went on it too. Here's Willie Wilson. Willie fly to left in the first, fly to center in the third. 0 for 2.
• 1:44:09
  If he went out and said, how many is not throwing right now, there would be one little hit. He would have to be designated to pitch.
• 1:44:15
  And he probably has been. I don't know that he hasn't been but there is that one little technicality.
• 1:44:20
  Well just this year Wayne Nordagen has pitched for the Chicago White Sox and they got into a pinch.
• 1:44:27
  Willie takes the strike from Mike Caldwell, 0 and 1.
• 1:44:31
  Remember last year when Baltimore manager Earl Weaver used catcher Elrod Hendricks.
• 1:44:38
  There's a swing and a miss. He used him in Toronto.
• 1:44:45
  No balls, two strikes on Willie Wilson. Final score from Shays Stadium, New York.
• 1:44:51
  The New Yorker match 2, the Atlanta Braves won. A rather stormy game which saw manager Bobby Cox eject a bouncing ball.
• 1:44:58
  Molacher to his left, can't get it. Wilson singles into right with one out.
• 1:45:03
  And the batter, George Brady, 11 to 2 Milwaukee.
• 1:45:08
  Was it last year that Jeff Newman of the A's pitched against the Royals?
• 1:45:13
  Yes, last year Newman, a catcher did.
• 1:45:17
  Elrod Hendricks we mentioned did some pitching. He was a catcher.
• 1:45:22
  Nordagen who pitched, a catcher.
• 1:45:26
  The piece of southpaw in the first basement outfielder.
• 1:45:30
  I don't think we're likely to see Darryl Porter throwing the old slab tonight.
• 1:45:34
  Well, I doubt it. Mike Caldwell delivers and George a pretty good catch and he fouled it back to the base of the screen, 0 and 1.
• 1:45:45
  We talk about the ball players, the everyday players, the position players, wanting to pitch and every once in a while fooling around in the mound.
• 1:45:52
  If you're out at the ballpark early some night, take a look at George Brad. He'll do imitations of pitchers.
• 1:45:58
  I think he did the best Joe Horner I've ever seen and only Joe Horner, he did better than Joe Horner.
• 1:46:05
  As a matter of fact, that funny little motion that Joe used to have.
• 1:46:08
  We might even see George out there but I doubt it.
• 1:46:11
  Line shot, base hit center field. Berman Thomas plays it and went up.
• 1:46:16
  So back to back singles by Wilson and Brett.
• 1:46:20
  And here's Amos Oden.
• 1:46:22
  And I say we're not likely to see Brett out there in the mound. It's the simple fact that the batter is only 60 feet, 6 inches away from the pitcher.
• 1:46:31
  And George is much more valuable to third base and certainly more valuable in the batter's box.
• 1:46:37
  That base hit by George is 87th hit of the year.
• 1:46:43
  In the Atlanta Mets game, New York to win a two runs eight hit, Atlanta to lose one run just two hits.
• 1:46:53
  Two on one out, Amos Oden is the plate, Mike Caldwell's pitch is Nick Powell, the mcdonnell in one.
• 1:46:59
  Let me check one thing. I said he had to be designated.
• 1:47:03
  Team Vogelar came in and told me that and I told him I'd never heard of it. Now he came back and said he's not sure that he has to be.
• 1:47:12
  I don't know why you would have to be.
• 1:47:16
  Now the signal given, here's the stretch by Mike Caldwell.
• 1:47:20
  Pitch to Otis is drilled into left field for a base hit. Willie Wilson makes the turn at third and he'll score. Brett stops at second.
• 1:47:28
  That makes it 11 to 3 Milwaukee. Otis has his 35th RBI, his second hit of the ballgame.
• 1:47:35
  On the batter is Al Collins. Al, single in the second, pops the second in the fourth.
• 1:47:48
  A number of years ago it wasn't uncommon to have a manager have his pitcher play first base or third base for a hitter.
• 1:47:59
  And perhaps have another man come in to pitch and then take the man off first base and put him back on the mound.
• 1:48:09
  I have never seen that done in the big leagues. It has been done in the big leagues.
• 1:48:14
  Collins takes a little bit high, one ball and no strikes.
• 1:48:23
  11 to 3 Milwaukee, runners at first and second. Mike Caldwell then quests for his seventh win.
• 1:48:30
  His biggest problem right now is just paying attention. He leads 11 to 3, the Brewers have a dozen hits.
• 1:48:37
  One ball, one strike and Collins. Al has hit safely in six straight games.
• 1:48:45
  The pitch is made and Al is swinging the miss, one and two. The Brewers, three in the first, one in the second, two in the third and five in the fourth.
• 1:48:56
  The Royals, two in the fourth, one in the fifth. Brett at second, Otis at first, one out.
• 1:49:05
  Caldwell off the stretch, the one, two pitch to Al. Collins is inside, two balls and two strikes.
• 1:49:23
  Make no given, here's the pitch to Al. High five, all left center field.
• 1:49:28
  Van Ozel, the left fielder there to make the catch. That's two out and here is George Scott.
• 1:49:36
  High to deep center in the second, single to the score in the fourth.
• 1:49:46
  Al Mopanela, over for the Yankees in the eighth inning with the man on his seventh. The Texas way out in front of New York, nine to three. The Yankees playing down in Arlington.
• 1:49:58
  Cincinnati leading the Phillies by the score of six to three. They're in the ninth inning in Philadelphia.
• 1:50:09
  The bouncing ball to the hole is short backhanded by Yad to second base. Out! And the third is called out at second base by the Umpire, Ken Kiser.
• 1:50:18
  And Otis arguing, he thought that he'd beaten the thrall from Yad who made a tremendous play in the hole and short.
• 1:50:24
  Whitey Herzog is going out.
• 1:50:29
  So the inning is over, the Royals on three hits gonna run.
• 1:50:34
  We go to the bottom of the fifth, Milwaukee 11 and the Royals three.
• 1:50:39
  This is the tale of the game just over at Montreal.
• 1:50:42
  Hart Howell, ninth inning double drove home the winning run.
• 1:50:45
  And the John Quinn Adjidar hurled a five hitter as the Houston Astros scored a two to one victory over the Montreal Expo.
• 1:50:52
  Underhard the winner as Houston wins by one.
• 1:50:55
  With one out of the ninth inning, the loser Elias Sosa, three and four now, Walk Dennis Walling.
• 1:51:00
  Howell then followed with a run scoring double to right center. Adjidar, six and four recorded a six complete game.
• 1:51:06
  Walking two and striking out two.
• 1:51:08
  At Chase Stadium, Lea Mazzelli snapped the one one time with an eighth inning single.
• 1:51:12
  And Craig Swan fired a two hitter to leave the New York Mets to a two to one victory over the Atlanta Braves.
• 1:51:19
  Taveras open the eighth inning with a triple to left center off losing pitcher and reliever Joe McLaughlin now 0-1.
• 1:51:26
  The fire became on and Mazzelli drove a New York first run with a first inning single,
• 1:51:30
  stroked the ground ball into right field, just towards Taveras.
• 1:51:34
  Swan, the losing pitcher is seven and four.
• 1:51:39
  A correction on that Swan, the winning pitcher now of course is seven and four.
• 1:51:42
  The American League, Rick Waits and David Clyde combined on an eight hitter.
• 1:51:46
  Bobby Barnes belted his eighth homer of the year to spark a 19 hit attack,
• 1:51:51
  leaving the Cleveland Indians their fourth straight victory, a 13 to three triumph over the Seattle Mariners.
• 1:51:57
  Yankee still losing big to Texas now after seven, nine to one, but the top of the eighth.
• 1:52:03
  Lou Panella hit a home run for New York, his seventh of the year.
• 1:52:07
  It came in the eighth with a man on base.
• 1:52:09
  Let's pause now for station identification.
• 1:52:11
  This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.
• 1:52:14
  ...
• 1:52:27
  Denny Matthews along with Fred White and producer engineer Ed Shepard.
• 1:52:32
  We are at County Stadium Milwaukee and the Brillers are leading 11 to 3, bottom of the fifth inning.
• 1:52:37
  A couple of defensive changes for the Royals, Jamie Clerk is now catching.
• 1:52:42
  Charlie Terrell has gone to third replacing Brett.
• 1:52:44
  The Brett and Porter out, Terrell and Clerk into the lineup.
• 1:52:49
  The batter is Sal Bando.
• 1:52:52
  Sal has lost single and homer.
• 1:52:56
  It was Sal who fired the opening salvo in the first inning with a three run home run.
• 1:53:02
  Charlie Moore hit a two run homer in the third and then Dick Davis with the bases loaded in the fourth.
• 1:53:09
  11 runs, a dozen hits for the Brewers.
• 1:53:13
  Bando swings and pops it up into shallow right, out goes Frank White.
• 1:53:17
  Under the ball makes the catch and there's one away.
• 1:53:20
  Bando retired for the first time tonight.
• 1:53:24
  Up comes Glomyn Thomas. He's one out of three.
• 1:53:26
  His second inning single, he has an RBI and 39 for the year.
• 1:53:31
  A final score into Montreal where the National League division leaders,
• 1:53:36
  the Eastern division leading Montreal Expos, have lost to the Western division leading Houston Expos,
• 1:53:44
  I mean Expos, two to one.
• 1:53:47
  Ground ball, Patek, it's short, has got it.
• 1:53:50
  Fires to first to throw off wide and safe.
• 1:53:55
  Good shot by the apply the tag, but Glomyn Thomas, making the slide, was able to avoid being tagged.
• 1:54:05
  Patek will draw a throwing error.
• 1:54:12
  So the Astros two, the Expos one, Montreal started the day leading the National League East by one over St. Louis.
• 1:54:19
  Houston started the day leading Cincinnati by a game and a half.
• 1:54:24
  Houston two runs five hits, Montreal one run five hits.
• 1:54:30
  The batter, Ben Ogilvie, fly to deep center, bounce to second base, walk and score.
• 1:54:39
  Fly ball, right field.
• 1:54:41
  Al Collins there, makes the gap.
• 1:54:44
  Ogilvie flies to right.
• 1:54:49
  The batter, Sixth Solos Cano, he has walked twice, single one, two runs scored, one RBI.
• 1:54:57
  Cleveland 13, Seattle 3, a final, Rick Waite wins his ninth, he's nine and four.
• 1:55:03
  Jones the log, he's one and seven.
• 1:55:10
  Oh they had an excellent crowd in Cleveland tonight, 32,627.
• 1:55:17
  The Indians now go one game over 500.
• 1:55:20
  Jeff Thorblurg has done a remarkable job with that game in the last month and a half.
• 1:55:24
  Solos Cano takes Rodriguez pitch outside, ball one.
• 1:55:32
  Thorblurg was under severe fire in April.
• 1:55:37
  He has certainly turned that Cleveland team around.
• 1:55:40
  Two balls, no strikes on Sixth Solos Cano.
• 1:55:44
  The Indians made a trade, they get Mike Hargrove from San Diego in exchange for Paul Dade.
• 1:55:49
  That was yesterday, ball three is inside.
• 1:55:59
  The Milwaukee Brewers have had 18 base runners, there's a strike three and one.
• 1:56:06
  And we are only in the bottom of the fifth inning, 11 to three Brewers.
• 1:56:16
  Ed Rodriguez pitches, lined up the middle base fifth.
• 1:56:20
  Solos Cano singles to center, Norman Thomas on his way to third.
• 1:56:26
  19 base runners.
• 1:56:33
  Here is Robin Young, singles in the first, walks in the fourth, bounce back to the pitcher in the third.
• 1:56:42
  He's at first and third.
• 1:56:57
  Too hot in the bottom of the fifth, Rodriguez pitches and a five-ball left field.
• 1:57:01
  Wilson to his left and back under the ball now.
• 1:57:04
  And Willie sucks it away to retire the side.
• 1:57:07
  No runs, one hit, one error, two left, they have stranded eight.
• 1:57:11
  Five in Milwaukee in this floor, the Brewers 11, the Royals three.
• 1:57:16
  Let's check some golf from Rochester, New York.
• 1:57:19
  Jane Blaylock has a one-stroke lead over Pat Bradley after two rounds of an LPGA golf tournament in the Kodak City.
• 1:57:27
  Blaylock shot a three on the par 70 for a 36-hole total of seven on the par 139 in the $100,000 event.
• 1:57:35
  It was Bradley who stole the show today, she shot a fizzling second round 67 which included two Eagles.
• 1:57:41
  That's the first time in over a year the player on the LPGA Tour has had two Eagles in one round.
• 1:57:46
  She also set records for nine and 18-holes in the four-year-old tournament with a round of 31-36.
• 1:57:52
  Sally Vittle, who is opening round 69, tied her with Blaylock for the lead, then he stopped with a 72.
• 1:57:58
  She's in sole possession of third place at five under par 141.
• 1:58:03
  Second year pro Barbara Moxness is one shot back in fourth.
• 1:58:07
  In the baseball note, Brian Bloomberg has filed a grievance over his outright release by the Chicago White Sox early this season.
• 1:58:14
  The grievance was filed through the Major League Players Association and Bloomberg's attorney.
• 1:58:18
  Bloomberg is still collecting on a four-year, $400,000 no-cut contract he signed in 1977
• 1:58:26
  but wants to be put back on the White Sox roster in order to qualify for larger pension benefits.
• 1:58:33
  Bloomberg has not been signed by any other club and as a result his pension time stopped on April 3rd.
• 1:58:41
  Baseball score in the American League after seven, the Orioles four and the Twins three.
• 1:58:47
  We got it at sixth inning, 11-3 in favor of Milwaukee. Jerry Terrell will lead off.
• 1:58:53
  He is sitting in Gerald Porter's spot. Jamie Quirk will bat in George Brett's place. That is second in the order.
• 1:59:08
  Jerry Terrell, the right-hand batter. Jerry hitting 364 for the year. He's four out of 11.
• 1:59:18
  Two of his four hits have been doubled. Bouncing ball deep short. Yownt has a long throw to make.
• 1:59:23
  Terrell leads the throw. It will be an infield single.
• 1:59:35
  So the Orioles have seven hits in the last two innings plus one hitter.
• 1:59:43
  John Wathen steps in. Duke is 0 for 2. Twice he has bounced into fours out.
• 1:59:52
  Eleven runs on 13 hits for the home-standing Brewers. Three runs, nine hits for the Orioles.
• 2:00:12
  He's in the right-hand batter. Here's the stretch by Mike Caldwell in the pitch.
• 2:00:16
  Breaking stuff is inside ball one.
• 2:00:25
  Mike Caldwell, six feet tall, is 185. Duke tried to take that pitch to right field and missed and the count is one and one.
• 2:00:32
  Caldwell was born in Tarboro, North Carolina. Lives now in Grafton, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee here.
• 2:00:41
  Bouncing ball past the pitcher to the second baseman. He's going to tag the runner and throw the first two late.
• 2:00:48
  Terrell is out on the tag. Jerry thinks that Molitor missed him until 10 ties or so.
• 2:01:01
  Now Terrell continues to argue. Steve Boros is trying to go out and get first the batting helmet and now it's Jerry Terrell.
• 2:01:16
  Steve Boros becomes the mediator, steps in between and that's that.
• 2:01:24
  So three times tonight Wapen has hit ground ball. Duke is the first, one away, Frank White is the plate.
• 2:01:34
  Frank is the two ground balls, one to third, one to second. That's Caldwell's style, he's a sinker baller.
• 2:01:41
  You know that Mike has his good stuff when you see a lot of ground balls on your score sheet.
• 2:01:45
  There's a line drive though in the center. Frank White has his first hit of the game.
• 2:01:49
  Wapen stops at second.
• 2:02:01
  Here's Fred Poddeck. Freddy's singled in the third, wide to right in the fifth.
• 2:02:08
  Mike Caldwell, a professional since 71, got to the big leagues for six games his first professional season.
• 2:02:18
  He was 7-7 for the Padres in his second year.
• 2:02:23
  Drafted by San Diego at a 6-1 minor league record before joining the Padres for good.
• 2:02:30
  He was 13-25 in three years with the Padres.
• 2:02:34
  Traded to the San Francisco Giants for Willie McCovey in October of 73.
• 2:02:45
  Time out for the moment as Poddeck is outside the batter's box.
• 2:02:48
  Runners at first and second one away. 11-3 Milwaukee where you're in the top of the sixth.
• 2:02:54
  Mike Caldwell, set at the bell, here's the pitch.
• 2:02:57
  A high breaking ball, one ball and no strike.
• 2:03:01
  We mentioned earlier only Ron Gidry of the Yankees had a better year than Caldwell last season.
• 2:03:07
  Mike Caldwell led the major leagues with 23 complete games.
• 2:03:13
  Hot shot on the ground, it is a foul ball.
• 2:03:17
  Just whistled by the bag at third.
• 2:03:20
  One ball and one strike.
• 2:03:21
  Fetty hit the ball with authority.
• 2:03:25
  Mike Caldwell was second in the major leagues with 22 wins.
• 2:03:29
  Tied for second in the big leagues with Jim Palmer and Bob Knepper of the Giants with six shutouts.
• 2:03:35
  Palmer of the Orioles of course, Knepper of the Giants.
• 2:03:39
  He was third in the big leagues with an ERA of 2.37 and fourth in the big leagues and ending fifth, 293.
• 2:03:47
  Lots done here.
• 2:03:50
  Two on, one out, the pitcher Fetty is outside.
• 2:03:54
  Caldwell set Brewer's season record for wins, complete games, urge run average, shutouts and consecutive wins.
• 2:04:05
  The season eve ran off seven straight victories.
• 2:04:09
  The 2-1 pitch, a little bit high.
• 2:04:15
  The team that Mike Caldwell tormented the most, the world champion Yankees, he shut out the Yankees three times.
• 2:04:24
  And the last pitcher to do that was a fellow by the name of Dean Shantz with the Angels way back in 1964.
• 2:04:31
  A bouncing ball to the hole, it's short, down to Molitor for the fourth on Frank White.
• 2:04:38
  That's the second out of the inning, runners at first and third now.
• 2:04:41
  Mochek now comes up hobbling.
• 2:04:51
  That and Willie Wilson, Willie one out of three, single and scored in the fifth.
• 2:05:06
  Well Todd Cruz is going to replace Fred Potec.
• 2:05:10
  Fred's still bothered by that bad leg and he was hustling down the space line and has apparently aggravated that injury.
• 2:05:20
  Well, he'll leave and Todd Cruz will enter.
• 2:05:22
  11 to 3 Brewer, Royals batting in the top of the sixth.
• 2:05:26
  The Royals just announced they're going to call up Bill Papsco from Omaha.
• 2:05:30
  I'm sure and hope that he'll be here tomorrow and be available for both end duty.
• 2:05:33
  It looks like the effort to make a trade have fallen through,
• 2:05:37
  barring some last minute thing tonight and that doesn't look too hopeful I wouldn't think.
• 2:05:42
  Willie hits a high drive to deep left field, back goes Pat Ogilvy.
• 2:05:46
  He's at the wall and it is gone.
• 2:05:48
  Willie Wilson, a free run homer.
• 2:05:51
  That makes it 11 to 6 Milwaukee.
• 2:05:54
  The ninth home run surrendered by Mike Caldwell this season.
• 2:06:06
  Willie has his third home run of the year and that's the first home that he has hit out of the ballpark.
• 2:06:12
  His first two home runs were inside the park home runs.
• 2:06:16
  So will he get Skelly Gibson?
• 2:06:31
  That gives Wilson 13 RBI.
• 2:06:34
  Jamie Clark at the plate and James takes the strike on one.
• 2:06:41
  Clark up there for the first time.
• 2:06:44
  Breaking ball is grounded pass first base coach Steve Burrows.
• 2:06:48
  Jamie is 2 out of 6 this year.
• 2:06:51
  Anyway, we understand that Texas has picked up left hander John Henry Johnson's moment for Dave Chalk and Mike Heath.
• 2:07:03
  Outside, I'll tell you Johnson is a fine pitcher.
• 2:07:06
  He's a left hander.
• 2:07:07
  We saw him last year.
• 2:07:09
  Heath is a very promising catcher.
• 2:07:15
  A little bit outside.
• 2:07:17
  One more guy you could assume that everybody is after on this late hour is Shane Lawley of Seattle probably.
• 2:07:23
  Another young left hander.
• 2:07:25
  Hot shot, they hit right field.
• 2:07:27
  Clark singles between Cooper and Molitor and his name is Otis.
• 2:07:33
  And they're beginning to throw the ball into the Milwaukee dugout.
• 2:07:47
  Out comes Cal McClish.
• 2:07:50
  Paul Mitchell begins to throw for the Brewers.
• 2:07:54
  Fans may not be familiar with the name John Henry Johnson because he's been pretty well buried on an open ball club.
• 2:08:03
  But I've got to agree with you from what we've seen of him.
• 2:08:07
  I have to think if you put him on a good ball club that he's going to be a very effective pitcher.
• 2:08:14
  I'll tell you it's a good trade in both cases because Heath progresses the way that most baseball people think he will while the A's have a fine catcher for a number of years.
• 2:08:27
  And it's good for the A's because any time you can trade a pitcher for an everyday player and especially a catcher, a second baseman, a short stopper, a center fielder, you're well ahead of the game.
• 2:08:39
  And with Sunberg, the Rangers don't need a catcher barring injury obviously.
• 2:08:46
  And it will really help their pitching staff.
• 2:08:48
  And they felt that they were just one pitcher short.
• 2:08:51
  How do you think Dave Chuck must feel tonight? He's gone from the club leading the division to a strong contender to Oblivion.
• 2:08:59
  Dave is probably thinking, shock me off, huh?
• 2:09:02
  He's just shot one up for Charlie.
• 2:09:05
  Something along those lines.
• 2:09:07
  Foul by Amos Otis. One ball and one strike.
• 2:09:18
  11 to 6, Milwaukee. Royals batting in the top of the sixth.
• 2:09:23
  Mike Caldwell pitches. Amos Otis gets a change, a high change of bat, and he bounces foul fast.
• 2:09:29
  The third base coach Chuck Hiller. One ball, two strikes.
• 2:09:33
  The Royals' papers will make anything reading the trading deadline midnight tonight.
• 2:09:37
  There will be some things done this evening.
• 2:09:39
  Let's explain that trading deadline.
• 2:09:43
  Midnight New York.
• 2:09:48
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:09:50
  Inside.
• 2:09:52
  If the Royals are trading with a team on the west coast, for instance, they can do so until 2 a.m. Midwest time.
• 2:10:01
  So 3 o'clock in New York, it's all over. Midnight on the west coast.
• 2:10:06
  A drive down the right field line, chasing it is Lesado, and he makes a foul ball, basket-style catch.
• 2:10:13
  The retire Amos Otis and the Royals in the sixth.
• 2:10:16
  The Royals on Willie Wilson's three-run home run.
• 2:10:20
  Three runs on four hits.
• 2:10:22
  And as we go to the bottom of the sixth, the Brewer's 11, the Royals sixth.
• 2:10:27
  In tennis today, four-feeted Arthur Ashe outlasts the South African Bernie Mitten in a third-round marathon lasting 6 hours and 13 minutes.
• 2:10:35
  To reach the quarterfinals of the Queens Club Graff Court Championships in London,
• 2:10:39
  the 1975 Lumberland champions finish the match with a 7-6, 4-6, 15-13 win,
• 2:10:45
  after being interrupted four times by rain, which virtually washed out the day's program.
• 2:10:51
  France quickly grab a 2-0 lead in their quarterfinal European zone Davis Cup meeting
• 2:10:56
  against Cleveland before only 250 spectators.
• 2:11:00
  In single play, Yannick Noah crouched Hans Gunthardt, 6-3 and 6-2,
• 2:11:07
  and Dominique Biddell defeated Roland Sadler, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5, and 6-4.
• 2:11:18
  Checking some other things in sports, saying there's an imminent danger of serious disorders
• 2:11:22
  during the Pan-American Games in Puerto Rico next month.
• 2:11:25
  Governor Carlos Romero Barcellos signed an order Friday night in San Juan mobilizing the National Guard.
• 2:11:31
  It is the first time the National Guard of the vision of the U.S. Army has been called out
• 2:11:36
  during the administration of Romero Barcellos.
• 2:11:39
  The governor declined to take the measure during last year's violence and sabotage strike-strike at the state power company.
• 2:11:47
  He also said similar measures have been taken in other nations, staging major international sports events.
• 2:11:57
  We go to the bottom of the sixth, 11-6 Milwaukee.
• 2:12:00
  Dick Davis, Charlie Moore, Paul Molacher coming up.
• 2:12:04
  Davis won out of three, but that one was a grand slam home run.
• 2:12:08
  He came back in the fourth inning.
• 2:12:13
  Eduardo Rodriguez has been in there since the third inning.
• 2:12:17
  One ball and no strike.
• 2:12:21
  The final score, Texas 9, New York 5, for the Rangers over the Yankees in Texas.
• 2:12:30
  Inside, 2-0.
• 2:12:32
  Nine runs, 10 hits for Texas. Five runs, 10 hits for the Yankees.
• 2:12:38
  Chicago, the Red Sox and the White Sox going at it. The White Sox are leading 8-3.
• 2:12:45
  It's all three. 3-0.
• 2:12:48
  Carlton Smith, Olmert for Boston.
• 2:12:51
  It came in the eighth inning with nobody on his second.
• 2:12:55
  Red Sox still trail by five, 8-3.
• 2:12:59
  Here's the 3-0 pitch.
• 2:13:02
  Strike called, 3-1.
• 2:13:13
  Signal given by Jamie Clark.
• 2:13:18
  Inside, ball four.
• 2:13:24
  Well, that's only 20 base runners. The Brewers have had five innings in one hitter.
• 2:13:32
  Here's Charlie Moore who's gone a three, a two run home run in the third.
• 2:13:50
  Five ball into right center. Otis to his left is there and makes the catch.
• 2:13:54
  Charlie Moore retired.
• 2:13:56
  On the way into Milwaukee sixth inning and here comes Paul Molacher.
• 2:14:00
  He is four out of four.
• 2:14:04
  Four singles, two runs scored, two stolen bases.
• 2:14:10
  We salute the Pro-Am dealer in Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
• 2:14:14
  Full line supply company.
• 2:14:17
  B&G discount on a Barts in Kansas City, Kansas.
• 2:14:23
  Paul Molacher, a six game hitting streak.
• 2:14:27
  He started the night hitting 3-0-3 and he's four out of four.
• 2:14:30
  He's twice as one down the right field line.
• 2:14:32
  It is peeling off into the crowd.
• 2:14:34
  No balls and a strike.
• 2:14:37
  Dan Ford, Olmert to the Angels in the ninth inning with nobody on his eighth.
• 2:14:41
  The Angels out in front of the Tigers, eight to seven.
• 2:14:47
  Boston got three in the eighth.
• 2:14:50
  They have chopped into the Light Sox lead.
• 2:14:52
  It's now the Light Sox eight, Boston five.
• 2:14:56
  Red Sox trying to rally.
• 2:14:57
  Molacher takes high, one ball and a strike.
• 2:15:07
  Eleven runs, 13 hits for the Brewers.
• 2:15:09
  Six runs, a dozen hits for the Royals.
• 2:15:11
  There goes the runner.
• 2:15:12
  Five balls, short center, Otis is there and makes the catch.
• 2:15:16
  Dick Davis retreats to first.
• 2:15:18
  Paul Molacher retired for the first time tonight and the batter will be Cecil Cooper.
• 2:15:28
  Cecil is one out of four.
• 2:15:30
  He's singled and scored in the first inning.
• 2:15:34
  Tomorrow afternoon, either Marty Patton or Steve Roeske against Jim Clayton.
• 2:15:39
  And on Sunday afternoon, Rich Gale and Larry Sorensen.
• 2:15:47
  Runner at first, two down.
• 2:15:48
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:15:49
  It's way inside, backhanded by Jamie Quirk.
• 2:16:00
  Just the perfect night for baseball.
• 2:16:02
  It's not blowing to left, it was blowing quite hard when the game started.
• 2:16:06
  But the wind has calmed a bit, the temperature in the 80s.
• 2:16:11
  The weatherman says tomorrow, temperature into the 90s.
• 2:16:23
  One ball and one strike on, left hand hitting Cecil Cooper.
• 2:16:27
  Now a ball backing out of play.
• 2:16:31
  One ball and two strikes.
• 2:16:44
  The Rillers try to win their 35th game of the year.
• 2:16:46
  They're 34 and 29.
• 2:16:48
  Royals are 33 and 29.
• 2:16:50
  Flying to right field, they hit for Cooper.
• 2:16:53
  Dick Davis puts on the brakes in second.
• 2:17:01
  Val Bando comes toward the plate.
• 2:17:03
  Val hit a three run homer in the first, walked in the second, singled and scored in the fourth,
• 2:17:08
  and popped his second in the fifth.
• 2:17:17
  First and second occupied, two outs.
• 2:17:25
  Right hander against right hander, outside the foul, ball one.
• 2:17:38
  Frank Howard, the big first base coach talking to Cecil Cooper.
• 2:17:42
  He takes down too low.
• 2:17:50
  Frank Howard is listed in the Milwaukee Press Guide at 6'7", 300 pounds.
• 2:17:56
  He has definitely lost weight since last year.
• 2:17:58
  There's the breaking ball for strike two and one.
• 2:18:02
  His weight last year was in the neighborhood of 375.
• 2:18:07
  He was born in Columbus, Ohio.
• 2:18:10
  Makes his home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
• 2:18:12
  He attended Ohio State.
• 2:18:14
  Fine basketball player there.
• 2:18:19
  Bando hits the foul ball, backing out of play.
• 2:18:21
  Quirk to the screen, is nothing doing.
• 2:18:23
  Two balls and two strikes.
• 2:18:26
  Frank Howard in his major league career is 382 home runs, 123 in the national league.
• 2:18:35
  He was with the Dodgers, five full seasons with the Dodgers.
• 2:18:39
  Then spent seven years with the Washington Senators, 259 career homers in the American League.
• 2:18:48
  And a very respectable batting average for his flugger anyway, a 273.
• 2:18:53
  Bando hits a high pop foul, George Scott right to the barrier, no play.
• 2:19:02
  Frank Howard played 15 years in the big league.
• 2:19:05
  He was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1960 with the Dodgers.
• 2:19:10
  Finished his career with the Tigers, spent 74 in Japan.
• 2:19:17
  Designed by the Dodgers in 1958.
• 2:19:22
  He hit one of the hardest home runs I have ever seen hit off the Royals.
• 2:19:26
  Left-hander Tom Bergmeier at the old stadium in Washington, D.C., bouncing ball to short.
• 2:19:30
  Cruz goes to white for the first play on Cooper's second and that's the inning.
• 2:19:35
  One hit, no runs, a walk to left, they strand it ten, but they score 11.
• 2:19:39
  The end is six, the drillers 11, the Royals six.
• 2:19:43
  Couple of baseball notes, possibly with tongue-in-cheek and possibly not,
• 2:19:48
  but Harrelson's former softball team is demanding compensation from the Philadelphia Phillies for signing Bud.
• 2:19:54
  Harrelson played for the Browzerie, a team in a league governed by the Huntington Long Island Softball Commission.
• 2:20:00
  Commissioner Ty, the letterer of the Huntington group, fired off a letter to the baseball commissioner, Fui Kuen, asking compensation for Harrelson.
• 2:20:08
  Bud retired from baseball two months ago and has been playing softball on weekends.
• 2:20:12
  Recently returned to the Phillies after he lost a couple of infielders through injuries.
• 2:20:16
  The compensation Huntington is asking for is silly relief pitcher, Claude McGraw, a blight spirit on and off the diamond.
• 2:20:23
  Former Detroit Tiger first baseman Norm Cash is in serious condition after having what doctors believe was a slight stroke.
• 2:20:31
  A Tiger's team positions as Cash suffered some paralysis on the right side of his face and body, but is still able to speak.
• 2:20:38
  The 44-year-old Cash played for the Tigers from 1960 through 1974, hitting 373 home runs in that span.
• 2:20:48
  While on Thursday the Cleveland Indians and San Diego Potrades completed the trade, the Indians sent out Fielder Paul Dade to the Potrades in exchange for first baseman Mike Hargrove.
• 2:20:59
  The 27-year-old Dade was batting 282 for the Tribe with three homers and 18 runs batted in.
• 2:21:04
  Hargrove, who's 29, hit only 192 with no homers and eight RBIs to the Potrades this year, but he's a lifetime 288 hitter.
• 2:21:14
  As the Royals come to bat in the seventh, the Brewers have a new pitcher, and he is none other than Paul Mitchell.
• 2:21:21
  We owe you a station break, so let's take care of that item of business right now. This is the Kansas City Royals Radio Network.
• 2:21:27
  This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.
• 2:21:39
  Denny Matthews along with Fred White and producer-engineer Ed Sheppard at County Stadium, Milwaukee, where a fine crowd of 32,812 seats.
• 2:21:48
  A lot of hits, runs, a couple of errors. 11 runs, 14 hits for the Brewers, 6 runs, and 12 hits for the Royals.
• 2:21:59
  So Paul Mitchell takes over. Mike Caldwell in six innings to allow the six runs to a dozen hits.
• 2:22:05
  Seven innings, here again is Fred. Okay, thank you, Denny. On a night that the Royals got to, Mike Caldwell, who had finished nine of his 13 starts prior to this,
• 2:22:13
  and they got to him for six runs and a dozen hits in six innings, and tonight the Royal pitching couldn't hold him.
• 2:22:20
  The Royals down by five. Still alive and breathing here in Milwaukee, the offense bringing to life.
• 2:22:27
  After the Royals were down six to nothing, they cut it to six to two, then it was 11 to two.
• 2:22:31
  Now they're back to 11 to six, and Al Callens hoping to start something against Paul Mitchell, formerly of the Oakland A's and the Seattle Mariters.
• 2:22:42
  Right hander against right hander to start the Royal half of the seven.
• 2:22:47
  Mitchell set the first pitch, Al Callens on the way. High bouncer foul, pass third. One strike.
• 2:22:56
  The Reds beat the Phillies six to three tonight. A title in Philadelphia.
• 2:23:09
  Mitchell running, here's the pitch. High fly ball, right field. Six to Los Canos, just in a couple of steps, makes the catch.
• 2:23:17
  Al Callens retired, he's won for four tonight. Now George Scott, who is single and short, he's won for three.
• 2:23:26
  And again the Blue River fans beat Scott with booze.
• 2:23:34
  George was very vocal about running out of Milwaukee, the fans haven't forgotten.
• 2:23:42
  And aren't likely to. Mitchell ready to pitch.
• 2:23:47
  We're going to miss by Scott. Jerry Finnell next.
• 2:24:01
  Mitchell ready again to pitch. Outside one and one.
• 2:24:06
  The Royal offense tonight has been marked by a pre-run homer by Willie Wilson. The first home run in his major league career that he did out of the park.
• 2:24:14
  He had two inside departures earlier this year.
• 2:24:19
  Now Charlie Moore out to talk to Paul Mitchell. The conference breaks up in a hurry.
• 2:24:27
  George Scott wearing number zero. He had always worn number five, but you know who that belongs to on the Royal.
• 2:24:36
  Right call, one and two. In case you don't, George Brett.
• 2:24:46
  Mitchell set to pitch again. All outside the county, even South to two. Paul Mitchell thought he had him struck out.
• 2:24:59
  Four foot down a side. Here's the two-two pitch.
• 2:25:04
  High bouncer to shortstop Robin Yow with a chest high hop, but it was out Scott's two men gone.
• 2:25:10
  Scott's run for four tonight. Here's Jerry Terrell who's beat out an infield single his first time up.
• 2:25:16
  Well how would you little leaguers like to take your entire team out to see the Royal's big leaguers play free?
• 2:25:22
  For your chance, just register at any participating unit Royal dealer.
• 2:25:30
  Terrell in, two out, nobody on, top of the seventh, 11 to six Milwaukee.
• 2:25:39
  Now Terrell steps out again. Watson will hit.
• 2:25:44
  Tipped inning if Terrell gets aboard.
• 2:25:48
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:25:51
  Off-speed braking stuff high, one and oh.
• 2:25:59
  More foot down another side. Mitchell set again to pitch. High flies all center field.
• 2:26:04
  Worman Thomas backpedaling in front of the warning track. Rings it down and the innings over.
• 2:26:09
  The Royals go one, two, three. We go to the bottom of the seventh in Milwaukee.
• 2:26:13
  The Brewers 11 and the Royals six.
• 2:26:16
  One of the longer ball games, at least a little bit longer than average, we usually figure about two hours and 45.
• 2:26:22
  We're heading down 20 minutes away from the three-hour mark and we still have possibly two and a half innings to go.
• 2:26:28
  A big lead though, we may only have two because Milwaukee were not that in the home nine.
• 2:26:34
  Well San Francisco Giants fans have Ron Gordon to thank for 75 cent hot dogs at Candlestick Park.
• 2:26:42
  Yesterday Gordon won 11 month title to get the San Francisco Park and Recreation Board to roll back a five cent hot dog surcharge
• 2:26:50
  at Granite Stevens California Enterprises.
• 2:26:53
  He had to pay for the surcharge to pay for wrapping the dogs in paper as required by the state health code.
• 2:27:00
  The 33-year-old biology teacher drew charts, even demonstrated hot dog wrapping to show the Recreation Board
• 2:27:07
  it could be done a lot faster than Stevens was claiming.
• 2:27:10
  When the board voted yesterday to roll back the extra nickels and elated Gordon said, hot dog.
• 2:27:20
  That's not really what he said. He said, I can't believe it took this long.
• 2:27:23
  A friend's wife was pregnant when she began and now they have a ten month old baby.
• 2:27:27
  So it's still hot dog.
• 2:27:30
  Alright let's check the scoreboard now.
• 2:27:34
  The Yankees have been beaten by Texas nine to five.
• 2:27:38
  Baltimore, Minnesota on the top of the ninth.
• 2:27:41
  Orioles at bat and it's all tied up at four to four.
• 2:27:44
  Final of the National League, Cincinnati beats Philadelphia six to three.
• 2:27:47
  The Yankees have two braves one. Houston one over Montreal two to one.
• 2:27:50
  Game just underway. One and a half. Pittsburgh one. Lafaz is nothing.
• 2:27:53
  No score after two between St. Louis and San Francisco.
• 2:27:57
  Nothing in yet. Chicago and San Diego, but they are underway.
• 2:28:03
  Some other finals in the American League. Toronto six, Oakland nothing.
• 2:28:06
  That game was finished a long time ago.
• 2:28:08
  Cleveland slaughtered Seattle 13 to three.
• 2:28:10
  And California's eight to seven. Eight to seven win over Detroit.
• 2:28:13
  Marky Anderson is 0-2, a new skipper of the Tigers.
• 2:28:17
  Final of the seventh in Milwaukee.
• 2:28:19
  Stephen and Corey takes over on the mound now for the Loyals.
• 2:28:22
  Ed Rodriguez went three in the third. Gave up seven hits, five runs, a home run.
• 2:28:30
  The Loyals are going to have to come back or slip five games behind California.
• 2:28:35
  The Angels have hung on to defeat Detroit eight to seven tonight.
• 2:28:40
  Cardinal three San Francisco, or Cardinal nothing San Francisco nothing.
• 2:28:44
  The bottom of the third. White Sox beat Boston eight to five tonight.
• 2:28:52
  And then Corey's first pick to Gorman Thomas misses outside. Ball one.
• 2:28:56
  In Cincinnati's win Tom Siebert got the win. He's four and five.
• 2:28:59
  Chris is the loser one and four.
• 2:29:06
  Corey ready to pitch again. Swing and a miss.
• 2:29:10
  Count even down the ball on the strike on Gorman Thomas.
• 2:29:15
  Apparently the most excitement in the park right now is the servants down the left field line.
• 2:29:19
  Everybody paying attention to that and none of the game.
• 2:29:27
  Then he has the glasses on. We make it a blow by blow account.
• 2:29:30
  Here's a pitch to Gorman Thomas. Strike call one and two.
• 2:29:46
  Nobody on nobody out. Bottom of the seventh, 11 to six Milwaukee.
• 2:29:51
  Gorman Thomas pitches a high foul ball in the upper deck down the left field side. Two and one and two.
• 2:30:04
  Then he's lost interest. It must have been a very weak altercation.
• 2:30:10
  Now he's back at it.
• 2:30:16
  Gorman Thomas waiting. Gorman Thomas whining. Here's the pitch.
• 2:30:19
  Way outside. Count evens out two two.
• 2:30:29
  Good crowd here tonight. 32,812.
• 2:30:36
  And Gorman Thomas is in a full count. Three and two.
• 2:30:51
  Gorman Thomas waiting. Stephen and Corey whining. Here comes a three two pitch.
• 2:30:56
  High foul ball down the left field side again. Gorman Thomas at home run range.
• 2:31:03
  Three and two to count.
• 2:31:12
  Gap field playing Thomas deep in the ball.
• 2:31:18
  And Corey ready again to three two pitch on the way.
• 2:31:21
  Popped him up foul but it's going to be out of play.
• 2:31:24
  Here the Royal dugout runs out of room.
• 2:31:34
  So still three and two to Gorman Thomas.
• 2:31:43
  So home and Corey with a new baseball set to work again.
• 2:31:50
  Back in. Again the line and again the three two pitch.
• 2:31:56
  Ball four.
• 2:32:00
  That's the seventh walk given up by Royal pitching tonight.
• 2:32:03
  The first issued by Stephen and Corey. He walks the first man he faces.
• 2:32:08
  Here comes Ben Ogilvie who's over three. He's walking toward the run.
• 2:32:21
  Now the sixth man who had walked prior to this. Three is short.
• 2:32:25
  So yes the baseball on ball does hurt.
• 2:32:30
  It's eleven to six Brewers. We're in the bottom of the seventh. Ogilvie in.
• 2:32:35
  Scott holding the runner at first to pitch.
• 2:32:38
  Ground ball. Scott grabs and steps on first throws the second.
• 2:32:41
  Now they've got the runner trapped and he is tanked out by George Scott.
• 2:32:45
  An excellent play by Scott at first base.
• 2:32:49
  Ogilvie just hit a BB down the first base line. Scott.
• 2:32:54
  Able to pick it off. Steps on the bag.
• 2:32:58
  Then through the shortstop Todd Cruz who ran Thomas back to first then fired to Scott who tanked him out.
• 2:33:04
  So it's a three six three double play.
• 2:33:07
  With George Scott recording both foot outs of course.
• 2:33:10
  Two out nobody on to Sixth Field Lescano. He has singles wide. He has walks wide.
• 2:33:16
  Driven in a run and scored wide.
• 2:33:21
  So quickly two out nobody on.
• 2:33:24
  And now Lescano in and Corey's pitch.
• 2:33:27
  Ground ball to shortstop Cruz has it. Comes up gunning and the inning's over.
• 2:33:31
  Lescano goes short to first. No runs no hits. Nobody left.
• 2:33:35
  And after seven it's Milwaukee 11 and the Royals six.
• 2:33:39
  Now Bumrey has just smashed a triple to the right field corner and the Orioles have scored twice in the top of the ninth.
• 2:33:46
  So Minnesota now coming to bat and they need a couple of runs to stay alive in that ball game.
• 2:33:51
  The score is the Orioles six and the twins four.
• 2:33:55
  Al Bumrey has been hot as a Blake getting his first triple of the year. He picked a good time to do it with two mates on board.
• 2:34:01
  Mike Squires drove in four runs including two with a double a key to five run second inning.
• 2:34:06
  The Chicago White Sox registered an eight to five victory over the Boston Red Sox.
• 2:34:10
  Chicago also took advantage of three Boston errors as Rich Wartham seven and five picked up the victory.
• 2:34:16
  Allowing eight hits before giving way to Steve Trout in the eighth inning.
• 2:34:20
  Again it's eight to five Chicago over Boston.
• 2:34:25
  Dan Ford snapped a seven to seven tie with a ninth inning over and Bobby Gritch belted a pair of home runs.
• 2:34:30
  Driving three runs giving the California Angels an eight to seven victory over Detroit.
• 2:34:35
  And handing new Tigers manager Sparky Anderson his second loss in his many nights.
• 2:34:39
  John Grubb and Al Oliver each drove in a couple of runs in an eight run fifth inning to propel the Texas Rangers for nine to five wins over the New York Yankees.
• 2:34:48
  New York starter Ed Bigarro retired the first eleven men he faced.
• 2:34:52
  But after the Rangers tied the game one one in the fourth they sent twelve men to the plate in the fifth for their most productive inning of the season.
• 2:34:59
  And the National Lake Tom Steber celebrated the two year anniversary of his trade to Cincinnati by tossing a six hitter.
• 2:35:04
  And also double on two runs as Cincinnati beat Philadelphia six to three.
• 2:35:11
  The sixth Milwaukee John Watson deleted off against Paul Mitchell and again here's Denny.
• 2:35:18
  I read Watson is 0 for 3 he has four to run.
• 2:35:21
  Eleven runs on fourteen hits four Milwaukee they got three in the first one in the second two in the third and five in the fourth none since.
• 2:35:30
  The Royals two in the fourth one in the fifth and three in the sixth.
• 2:35:34
  The Rockland fly ball in the right field was kind of fading back makes the catch and there's one away.
• 2:35:44
  The Royals three runs in the sixth the result of Willie Wilson's home run is first outside the park home run this year he had two inside the park home run.
• 2:35:55
  The batter is Frank White Frank is one out of three single in the sixth.
• 2:36:03
  It's been a big day or a day night for the Brewers thirty two thousand eight hundred twelve looking on.
• 2:36:09
  They have drawn very well this year.
• 2:36:12
  After a Paul Mitchell fastball didn't get it.
• 2:36:24
  The Brewers started the night having drawn five hundred and eighty five thousand so far.
• 2:36:30
  The Bulls by a curve it's a foul ball by the Brewer dugout and Charlie Moore the catcher makes a nice catch.
• 2:36:37
  Paul Mitchell really pulled the string on a breaking ball and Frank off the side and pulled fouls out.
• 2:36:42
  Morris he neared the Milwaukee Brewers dugout took a little peek to see where he was but nonetheless able to make the catch.
• 2:36:50
  Two down now Steve Braun is going to hit for Todd Cruz.
• 2:37:08
  Steve Braun has a four game hitting streak alive having gone seven for fifteen four runs a pair of homers and three RBI.
• 2:37:18
  In his last six games has gone nine for twenty one he takes a strike on one.
• 2:37:29
  Right hander Paul Mitchell ready and pitches.
• 2:37:33
  Fastball missed away one ball and one strike.
• 2:37:43
  The Bulls come in the top of the eighth the Royals down eleven six off speed and outside.

  Lascano on the warning track as Brew makes the catch and that ends the inning.
• 2:38:49
  Steve Braun hits the ball deep and out the Royals down one two three in the top of the eighth.
• 2:38:54
  The Brewers take their turn in the bottom of the eighth inning and Milwaukee leads the Royals eleven to six.
• 2:38:58
  Billie Jean King blasted a warning of her intention to capture the all time record of 20 Wimbledon titles today by overwhelming Martina Neva DeLova six one six two in just over 45 minutes at England's Chessister Tennis Tournament.
• 2:39:13
  The 35 year old King was more alert more enthusiastic and more competitive than the Wimbledon champion.
• 2:39:19
  Neva DeLova won the first game but then lost ten in a row and a spell of utter depression and lack of touch with the soft grass.
• 2:39:26
  She watched the match slip from her grasp with a suddenness that stunned the crowd.
• 2:39:30
  King has a semifinal encounter with former Wimbledon champion Yvonne Gullagong who ended Tantigarden's fine run by six two seven six in the quarterfinal.
• 2:39:41
  Earlier in the day Tegarden had beaten Rosie Casale two six six two and six three.

• 2:40:00
  Tazi one of the absentees from this month's upcoming Wimbledon championships because of nagging injury won six four six four and six two.
• 2:40:08
  Poland's Wojciech Pajbik like Tazi a lone world class player on an inexperienced team.
• 2:40:14
  Posted in static six two six love two six and six four win over Italy's Andriano Pannata in a zone B quarterfinal to raise the possibility of a surprise Polish victory over the 1976 champion.
• 2:40:29
  The return singles matches will be played on Wednesday.
• 2:40:34
  Milwaukee eleven the Royal Six bottom of the eighth inning.
• 2:40:38
  Robin Youn is the plate.
• 2:40:39
  Steven Dory on the mound. Youn is one out of three single back in the first inning.
• 2:40:44
  Bingo pitches a screwball put in this.
• 2:40:46
  Oh and what.
• 2:40:48
  The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians have just made a trade.
• 2:40:53
  Outfielder catcher designated hitter Cliff Johnson goes from New York to Cleveland in exchange for a left hand pitcher Don Hood.
• 2:41:04
  A ball to Robin Youn one and one.
• 2:41:12
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:41:14
  Down ball sharply hit Washington now at short nice backhand pickup in the three.
• 2:41:18
  Got him. Oh and a play by Youn.
• 2:41:22
  Youn Washington who has just entered the ballgame.
• 2:41:27
  We all remember batted for Todd Cruz. Youn makes a sparkling play deep in the hole at short.
• 2:41:33
  Not only a fine stop but an even better throw.
• 2:41:36
  Youn can run one away here is Dick Davis.
• 2:41:44
  Davis a grand slam home run in the fourth inning.
• 2:41:49
  And as the Royals scored two in the fourth one in the fifth and three in the sixth that grand slam home run became a mighty mighty big item in this game.
• 2:41:58
  The first pitch is a strike on one.
• 2:42:03
  The other trade tonight between the Texas Rangers and the Oakland A's.
• 2:42:07
  Mike Heath and Dave Shaw.
• 2:42:09
  Heath a catcher. Shaw an infielder.
• 2:42:12
  From Texas to Oakland in exchange for a left hand pitcher John Johnson.
• 2:42:18
  A ball and a strike on Dick Davis.
• 2:42:23
  The Royal Fab recalls Bill Paschal from Omaha.
• 2:42:29
  Down ball sharply hit. Carroll the third scoops it up.
• 2:42:33
  On to George Scott in time.
• 2:42:40
  Two away here is Charlie Moore the catcher.
• 2:42:48
  Charlie has kicked in a two run home run to the Brewer cause.
• 2:42:53
  He's one out of four he's also applied to center bounce out and then call that on strike.
• 2:43:00
  Paul Splittorf made the start his first pitching assignment he missed nine days you know because of the flu.
• 2:43:06
  Bouncing ball foul outside third.
• 2:43:11
  When Paul struggled it was just hard work for Splitt tonight didn't have his good stuff didn't have his good control at all he was behind almost every hitter and as you know that is very unlikable.
• 2:43:23
  Though he missed the week and a half and he paid the price tonight.
• 2:43:27
  So did the Royals the Brewers had the Royals down six nothing after three.
• 2:43:34
  And 11 to two at the end of four.
• 2:43:44
  No balls and a strike on Charlie Moore right hand batter.
• 2:43:50
  Here's the pitch.
• 2:43:52
  Little pop up in the shallow right center Collins on the running got there.
• 2:43:57
  Good play by Al.
• 2:43:58
  Two fine plays for the Royals in the eighth inning.
• 2:44:02
  The Brewers go down one two three and that is the first time tonight.
• 2:44:06
  We go to the night Milwaukee 11 and the Royals six.
• 2:44:10
  As you heard a moment ago Cliff Johnson has been traded by the Yankees he's the one that got in the fight with Goose Scott.
• 2:44:15
  He's been in action for a while. Cliff Johnson goes to Cleveland exchange for pitcher Don Hood we should get more details on that trade a little bit later.
• 2:44:22
  We do have this word in from Arlington Texas the Texas Rangers tonight traded right handed pitcher Doc Ellis to the New York Mets for two minor league pitchers and veteran infielder Dave Schalk to the Oakland A's for a pair of left handed pitchers and cash.
• 2:44:37
  In the last deal the Rangers dealt Ellis one and five this year with an earned run average of five point nine eight for minor league left hander Bob Myrick and right hander Mike Brewer.
• 2:44:47
  Myrick and Brewer will go from the Mets Todd water farm club in the international league to the Rangers Tucson farm club in the Pacific Coast League.
• 2:44:55
  Ellis who has played for Pittsburgh the Yankees Oakland and the Rangers was traded to Texas during the winter of 1975 76.
• 2:45:02
  Before the Ellis deal the Rangers announced the acquisition of left handed pitcher John Henry Johnson from the Oakland A's for infielder Dave Schalk minor league catcher Mike Keith and cash.
• 2:45:12
  Texas owner Brett Corbett personally made the Johnson Schalk Keith deal with A's owner Charlie Finley after an early morning flight to Chicago.
• 2:45:20
  The Rangers has been in need of another left handed starter to go with John Madlak with Johnson's addition.
• 2:45:26
  Out of the parter of Ellis the Rangers have ten pitchers on the roster. Johnson's 22 had an excellent rookie season with the A's last year posting an 11-10 mark and earned run average of three point three nine.
• 2:45:38
  Oil's batting the ninth trailing 11 to six Paul Mitchell sent to work to the top of the order.
• 2:45:44
  Willie Wilson Jamie Clark and Amos Otis.
• 2:45:47
  Paul Mitchell if he works this inning without any difficulty is eligible to get a save having worked three innings.
• 2:45:54
  Mike Caldwell wins the first six and Mike stands to win his seventh game.
• 2:45:59
  A final score from Chicago.
• 2:46:03
  The White Sox have down the Boston Red Sox eight to five.
• 2:46:07
  Rich Wortham the win now seven and five Mike Torres the loss Mike is six and five.
• 2:46:12
  And a big big crowd in Chicago tonight forty six thousand five hundred and fifty six.
• 2:46:18
  The White Sox sent them home happy. Line drive off the bat of Wilson based hit.
• 2:46:22
  Willie has his third hit of the night. He started the night at three forty two he's three out of five.
• 2:46:28
  Two singles and a three run home run two run score.
• 2:46:37
  That is the first hit off Mitchell who retired the first six.
• 2:46:42
  Jamie Clark the batter he's single back in the sixth.
• 2:46:48
  Rolls down eleven to six.
• 2:46:53
  The stretch by Mitchell.
• 2:46:55
  The pitch to quirk is a fastball outside.
• 2:46:58
  The White Sox still in at eight runs nine hits Boston five runs eleven hits.
• 2:47:04
  The White Sox got two in the first five in the second.
• 2:47:10
  Jamie had a good cut and he fouls him. One ball and one strike.
• 2:47:16
  Last night.
• 2:47:18
  Marty Patten or Steve Busby against Jim Slayton.
• 2:47:22
  And on Sunday Rich Gale and Larry Sorensen.
• 2:47:25
  Slayton five and three Sorensen is eight and six.
• 2:47:29
  Gale five and four Marty Patten is three and oh.
• 2:47:34
  Steve Busby is two and three.
• 2:47:40
  The pitch to Jamie Clark is slice foul and out of play.
• 2:47:46
  Lands in the seats on the third base side one ball two strikes.
• 2:47:57
  Willie Wilson at first nobody out.
• 2:48:00
  All Mitchell against the side.
• 2:48:03
  The right hander at the belt checking to see where Willie is overhand curve to quirk is grounded foul outside first.
• 2:48:17
  He's trying to even up the season series between these two clubs at two games apiece.
• 2:48:33
  Here's the stretch the one two pitch.
• 2:48:37
  This outside two balls and two strikes.
• 2:48:50
  This is Mitchell second appearance since joining the Brewers.
• 2:48:54
  Ground ball they said right field.
• 2:48:56
  Willie Wilson around second applies the brakes.
• 2:49:01
  The trials have something cooking here to on nobody out that means action in the Milwaukee bullpen.
• 2:49:09
  George Badberger the manager of the Brewers riding very purposefully toward the mound.
• 2:49:21
  George has done quite a job with his Milwaukee team named by the sporting news as the major league manager of the year in 78.
• 2:49:33
  The Brewers to third place in the Eastern Division with 93 wins trail the division winning and pennant winning and then World Series winning Yankees by six and a half.
• 2:49:52
  Badger spent 10 years as pitching coach with the Baltimore Orioles and had 1820 game winner in 10 years.
• 2:50:05
  He's going to leave Mitchell and the pitch to Amos.
• 2:50:08
  Amos two out of four a couple of singles.
• 2:50:11
  You are nobody out 11 to six Milwaukee and there's a shot to center field.
• 2:50:15
  Thomas though is there and he makes the catch that ball is hit on a line and then at the last moment it sort of dipped on Berman Thomas but he stayed right with it.
• 2:50:25
  Otis lines hard to center.
• 2:50:30
  Here's Al Collins Al is one out of four single his first time up facing Mitchell just once he applied to right field.
• 2:50:42
  What's the shame of Otis gets that ball into left center right center the Royals really has something on the fire.
• 2:50:48
  That's a big out that really halts your momentum you need five to tie.
• 2:50:55
  The Royals could have used a break with regard to the location of that line drive but Thomas was playing Otis perfectly.
• 2:51:07
  The third Scott will be next the Royals need two more runners to have a chance bounce foul wide of third no balls in a strike on Al Collins.
• 2:51:23
  Eleven runs on 14 hits for the Brewers six runs on 14 hits for the Royals.
• 2:51:36
  Wilson at second Jamie Clark at first Jamie two out of two since taking over behind the plate for Darrell Porter.
• 2:51:44
  Why ball short left field Ogilvy is going to have to hurry they said Willie Wilson to third and the bases are loaded Ogilvy tried to decoy Willie then tried to act as if he was going to make the catch but Willie knew better.
• 2:52:00
  George Scott he could pull the Royals to within one single run.
• 2:52:10
  The Royals now have actually out hit the Brewers by one but still trail by five.
• 2:52:18
  Scott is one out of four he's singled in the fourth why the deep center is first time at bat in a Royal uniform.
• 2:52:27
  George Bamberger the manager the Brewers is now standing in the Milwaukee dugout.
• 2:52:32
  This was a laugher for a while bouncing ball base hit the center Willie scores here comes Jamie quick to the plate Thomas throw to third and safe with Collins.
• 2:52:44
  Eleven to eight and the time that is at the plate Jerry Carroll is coming up and so is manager George Bamberger and that's it for Mitchell.
• 2:53:00
  Very interesting.
• 2:53:02
  Pitching change being made the situation is runners at first and third still been one out.
• 2:53:08
  We are in the top of the ninth and the score down Milwaukee 11 Royals eight.
• 2:53:12
  Let's take that time to check the scoreboard of the West Coast games in the National League those scores still at the two Chicago and San Diego Pittsburgh and Los Angeles three and a half bucks one.
• 2:53:22
  And the Dodgers nothing St. Louis and San Francisco three and a half car goes one the Giants one big news there though is Willie McCovey is another home run game of the fourth nobody on his ninth of the year and his 514 career home run the cover your home run.
• 2:53:37
  Nobody on the fourth for the giant.
• 2:53:40
  Yeah the final scores in the American League California beat Detroit eight to seven Cleveland triumph over Seattle 13 to three to the Toronto Blake Oakland six nothing Chicago beat Boston eight to five and Baltimore has just one they held off Minnesota started put out the fire from the both end.
• 2:53:58
  The twins scored one time in the whole night after the Orioles scored twice the top of the night Baltimore holds on to win six to five now by winning the Red Sox losing to Chicago eight to five the Orioles are now two games in front of the Boston Red Sox in the American League East Milwaukee
• 2:54:18
  hoping to hold on to win this one if they do they'll still six back the Yankees have lost to Texas for the Yankees are seven and a half behind Baltimore Yankees 33 and 30 Orioles 40 and 22 Detroit's lost.
• 2:54:31
  So they're eight and a half back Cleveland remains eight and a half Toronto 22 and a half in the West California is one so right now at the moment after Minnesota lost they are now four and a half in front of the twins.
• 2:54:47
  The Michigan counties video Red Sheep Cleveland now pitching.
• 2:54:51
  He's one and three with two saves this is his 17th appearance.
• 2:54:56
  His average is 4.11 allowed 35 hits and 31 innings 12 strikeouts and nine walks
• 2:55:08
  Cleveland now going to take over for Paul Mitchell people talk as grab the bat and he'll be hitting for Carol often follows people talk at Dodger Stadium tonight the pirates are leaving the Dodgers one to nothing the Dodgers are batting in the bottom of the fourth.
• 2:55:29
  And McCovey has homered for the San Francisco Giants that came in the fourth inning with nobody on it was the 514 of his career is nice this season.
• 2:55:44
  San Francisco on the Covey's home run is taking a two to one lead over the St. Louis Cardinals.
• 2:56:03
  Baltimore six Minnesota for the twins are batting in the bottom of the night Baltimore got two in the top of the night.
• 2:56:15
  Right hander Richard Cleveland about to work to people thought he did 771.
• 2:56:34
  Let's see how he is done against the Brewers this year.
• 2:56:54
  He's still for nine.
• 2:56:56
  With one RBI to run for.
• 2:57:05
  He is in his last 15 at bat.
• 2:57:08
  That is the first and third one out and a shot into left center field.
• 2:57:11
  Over the is there makes the catch.
• 2:57:26
  Here's John Watson.
• 2:57:37
  George Scott the runner at first two out of the top of the ninth eleven to nine Milwaukee.
• 2:57:46
  The tying run at the Blake Redsheep Cleveland set at the belt.
• 2:57:50
  The six to Duke hammered out and missed.
• 2:57:53
  Cleveland has surrendered two home runs this year.
• 2:58:03
  Two years ago and Watson in his first two big league homers one of them was hit right here in this ballpark.
• 2:58:10
  The one pitch up to high one ball and one strike.
• 2:58:21
  Now the stretch here's the pitch.
• 2:58:33
  The breeze is blowing toward left.
• 2:58:35
  Cleveland made a mistake and gave Watson something to fall.
• 2:58:58
  That's right.
• 2:59:17
  We have a score it's probably a base it.
• 2:59:21
  No ruling.
• 2:59:26
  The Royals trailed 11 to 2 after 4 innings. Now it's 11 to 9 and they have the tying run
• 2:59:33
  at first. Lowen outside and got away from the catcher but no advance.
• 2:59:42
  The Royals have 17 hits in this game.
• 2:59:46
  But they trailed by 2 with 2 out of the 9. Reggie Cleveland trying to nail down the win.
• 2:59:53
  Here's the pitch. Line drive, base hit and a left field. George Scott around 3rd to score
• 2:59:59
  and Waffen the tying run, stops at 2nd. 11 to 10 Milwaukee.
• 3:00:06
  Frank White picks up his 13th RBI.
• 3:00:08
  Here is UL Washington.
• 3:00:26
  UL batting for the first time tonight. Batting average 254, 10 RBI.
• 3:00:32
  He's a foot shooter, out comes George Bamberger.
• 3:00:40
  Look back into this inning now and recall if you will the ball off the bat of Amos Otis.
• 3:00:46
  The line shot right at Gorman Thomas. Remember I said oh if the ball had only been in the left center
• 3:00:52
  or right center, well it wasn't. That's going to do it for Cleveland. The Brewers are going to make
• 3:00:59
  the pitching change. Now the Royals have runners at 1st and 2nd. There are 2 outs.
• 3:01:04
  And the score now Milwaukee 11 and the Royals 10.
• 3:01:10
  Here's the final score. I'll give a report on this one from Bloomington, Minnesota.
• 3:01:15
  Al Bumrey rips a 2 run triple with 2 outs in the 9th inning to pace the Baltimore Orioles
• 3:01:21
  to a 6 to 5 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. Loser Mike Marshall now 8 and 6 making his
• 3:01:26
  38th appearance, walk Doug DeSantis and pinch hitter Ture Klaue to set the stage for Bumrey
• 3:01:32
  with a triple down the right field line to give reliever Don Stanhouse his 5th victory in 6 decisions.
• 3:01:38
  Tim Stoddard retired the final 2 batters after an RBI single in the 9th by Butch Weineger
• 3:01:45
  to record his 2nd save.
• 3:01:48
  And the road to Moscow for American athletes. Open today at San Antonio College in Walnut, California.
• 3:01:57
  More than 1300 Olympic hole pulls began competition, the national AAU Crack and Steal Championship.
• 3:02:04
  The AAU meet is the first major stepping stone to the 1980 games in Moscow.
• 3:02:09
  What is that?
• 3:02:39
  The AAU has 10 runs, 18 hits and 1 error.
• 3:02:43
  And Fred this may startle you but do you realize that the Royals have not received a single base on balls in this game?
• 3:02:52
  Do you realize that of the 18 hits, the Royals have 17 singles?
• 3:02:59
  And one home run, the home run the 3 run homer by Willie Wilson.
• 3:03:03
  So they're just crying for the extra base hit, a double, a triple, a home run.
• 3:03:09
  It's tough to do it when you just single, single, single the other team to death.
• 3:03:13
  That's what they've done here in the 9th.
• 3:03:15
  Willie Wilson started it, he's single, Ben Quirk's single, Otis Weinhardt is center,
• 3:03:20
  Cowan's single, Scott's single, then a sacrifice fly,
• 3:03:27
  John Watson an infield single, Frank White a single, and here is UL Washington batting for the first time.
• 3:03:37
  The tying run at second, the lead run at first, the Royals trailed after 4 innings by the score of 11 to 2.
• 3:03:47
  And now here in the top of the 9th with 2 on and 2 out, it is 11 to 10, Brewers.
• 3:03:53
  Washington is in a switch hitter on the left side.
• 3:04:02
  Bill Caps is still getting ready, here's the stretch and now he steps off the rubber.
• 3:04:06
  We're ready to go, Watson at second, Frank White at first, here's the pitch, outside all run.
• 3:04:26
  One ball and no strike.
• 3:04:28
  A base hit to tie it, an extra base hit to give the Royals the lead.
• 3:04:33
  Base hit left field, here comes Lawson, he's going to try to score, just go get him, safe.
• 3:04:39
  The game is tied, I don't believe it.
• 3:04:44
  UL Washington hits the Royals 18th single of the night.
• 3:04:49
  And here's the man who started it, Willie Wilson.
• 3:04:53
  A five run inning, it was 11 to 6 when this inning started.
• 3:05:04
  And here is Willie Wilson.
• 3:05:08
  Willie, 3 out of 5 tonight.
• 3:05:13
  The Royals have risen from the ashes.
• 3:05:24
  Washington first and second, here's the pitch.
• 3:05:28
  Lying down the left field line, Ogilvy chasing it,
• 3:05:30
  they have all went in the corner, White scores,
• 3:05:33
  Washington is score, look at Willie, he's around second, he's on his way to third,
• 3:05:38
  he's around fourth, here he comes, he is safe.
• 3:05:45
  And inside the park home run.
• 3:05:57
  Good Heaven.
• 3:05:59
  I wish you could hear the crowd here at County Stadium.
• 3:06:08
  They are just done.
• 3:06:11
  And wide off, the Royals have 8 in the ninth,
• 3:06:15
  Willie Wilson has his second home run of the game,
• 3:06:18
  his fourth home run of the year, and his third inside the park home run,
• 3:06:22
  a little slicing, looping drive down the left field line.
• 3:06:25
  Jamie Clurton, ripped one into right center field, Garmin Thomas can't get it.
• 3:06:30
  And it bounces into the stands, it will be a ground rule double.
• 3:06:36
  Willie, don't wake me up just now, I'm having the most pleasant dream.
• 3:06:39
  I was having a nightmare a while ago and I've got that sort of down,
• 3:06:42
  I'm having this real good dream, so don't disturb me for a while.
• 3:06:47
  I don't believe it.
• 3:06:48
  I'll tell you Fred, the nightmare right now belongs to
• 3:06:52
  the Milwaukee Brewers manager George Bamford.
• 3:06:55
  Paul Mitchell, in relief of Mike Caldwell,
• 3:06:59
  failed into this inning having retired 6 straight men and 2 innings at work.
• 3:07:06
  And all of a sudden you talk about everything collapsing around you.
• 3:07:11
  His name is Otis.
• 3:07:15
  There's a Willie Wilson, has 6 RBI's in his game now.
• 3:07:18
  Two singles, two home runs.
• 3:07:32
  Amos Otis, right hand batter.
• 3:07:35
  Here's the pitch.
• 3:07:37
  Going outside, ball one.
• 3:07:39
  Amos, 2 out of 5.
• 3:07:41
  He is one of only two men to make out here in the inning.
• 3:07:47
  And he hit a line shot right at center fielder, Gorman Thomas.
• 3:07:50
  The other out was the sacrifice fly off the bat of LaTocque.
• 3:07:53
  Breaking ball for a strike.
• 3:07:55
  14 to 11 Royals, 21 hits.
• 3:07:58
  The Royals have affected some tremendous comebacks in just the last 2 weeks.
• 3:08:10
  Amos is swinging a miss.
• 3:08:13
  And this one, with Darrell Porter and George Brett out of the lineup.
• 3:08:18
  The Royals trailed remember, by the score of 11 to 2.
• 3:08:24
  It is now Royals 14, Brewers 11.
• 3:08:35
  Brett and Porter left after 5 innings.
• 3:08:39
  One ball, two strikes on Otis.
• 3:08:41
  Jamie Quirk had second.
• 3:08:42
  Jamie is 3 out of 3 since coming in.
• 3:08:45
  Otis takes a little bit outside.
• 3:08:54
  An incredible comeback.
• 3:09:00
  Here's the pitch.
• 3:09:02
  Line shot center fielder, Thomas makes the catch.
• 3:09:06
  Otis made 2 of the 3 outs and both were line shots to center fielder.
• 3:09:10
  What an inning.
• 3:09:12
  8 runs, 9 hits.
• 3:09:16
  There were no errors.
• 3:09:19
  There was a man left.
• 3:09:21
  And we go to the bottom of the ninth and score the Royals 14 to Milwaukee 11.
• 3:09:28
  Well the Orioles are very happy about this.
• 3:09:30
  They have already won in the ninth inning against their opponents.
• 3:09:37
  They defeated Minnesota.
• 3:09:40
  The Red Sox lost.
• 3:09:42
  They lost to the Chicago White Sox 8 to 5.
• 3:09:45
  So this would put the Brewers 7 back.
• 3:09:48
  The Orioles and the American League East, the Yankees have already lost.
• 3:09:51
  They're 7 and a half.
• 3:09:52
  They pick up another game with the Tigers who are 8 and a half.
• 3:09:54
  They've worked out pretty well.
• 3:09:56
  If Kansas City can hold off Milwaukee the whole night.
• 3:10:00
  But a game like this with scores more like football, anything again could happen.
• 3:10:05
  Let's check some more scores.
• 3:10:07
  All the other games in the American League are over.
• 3:10:10
  National League after 4 and a half.
• 3:10:12
  San Francisco leads St. Louis 2 to 1.
• 3:10:14
  After 4, Pittsburgh 1, Los Angeles nothing.
• 3:10:16
  And after 3 and a half, no score between Chicago and San Diego.
• 3:10:20
  But Briggs has done a home run for the Pond Rays in the fourth one on his fifth of the year.
• 3:10:24
  So San Diego leads in the home four still batting by at least 2-0.
• 3:10:28
  More on the trade we mentioned earlier between the Yankees and Pond Rays.
• 3:10:31
  New York traded veteran outfielder Jay Johnstone.
• 3:10:34
  San Diego leads in the home four still batting by at least 2-0.
• 3:10:36
  San Diego Pond Rays for minor league right-hander Dave Warmeister.
• 3:10:41
  In position, the Yankees dealt catcher D.H. Cliff Johnson to Cleveland for reliever Don Hood.
• 3:10:46
  Johnson, a backup catcher, tangled with Rich Gossage in a clubhouse incident in mid-April.
• 3:10:51
  And left Gossage with an injured hand.
• 3:10:53
  Gossage ran a 2.01 earn run average in 63 appearances with 27 saves last year.
• 3:10:59
  Has been on the disabled list since.
• 3:11:06
  We go to the bottom of the ninth, 14-11 in favor of the Royals.
• 3:11:10
  The Royals got eight runs in the top of the ninth.
• 3:11:14
  Marty Patton, a former Brewer, will be the new pitcher.
• 3:11:19
  Jamie Clerk is catching. He has been for four innings now.
• 3:11:23
  George Scott, who's been playing at first, will play third.
• 3:11:28
  He has played third. In fact, when he came up to the Boston Red Sox, he did play third base.
• 3:11:35
  Pete LeCocque is at first. Washington is short. White is second.
• 3:11:40
  The outfield remains Wilson in left. Otis in center. Collins in right.
• 3:11:47
  The Royals, I just think it's incredible, have not received one single base on balls in this game.
• 3:11:57
  So they have had to manufacture their 14 runs with 21 hits.
• 3:12:03
  The Brewers have made one error, but that's giving very little away.
• 3:12:07
  Listen to this. The Royals have 18 singles, one double and two home runs.
• 3:12:14
  And the two home runs, both hit by Willie Wilson, both three run home runs.
• 3:12:21
  The first one left the stadium at the left field wall, his first outside the park home run.
• 3:12:28
  And then his 10th inning home run was an inside the park home run, a little flare down the left field line,
• 3:12:35
  which rolled away from Polkhovic in the corner.
• 3:12:38
  And I wish you could have seen Willie Wilson circling the bases.
• 3:12:41
  You know, we thought he went around the bases fast when he hit that inside the park home run against the Yankees last Saturday afternoon.
• 3:12:49
  Well, he did. But you should have seen him go around the bases on this one tonight.
• 3:13:00
  Well, it ain't over yet. We know that, don't we?
• 3:13:04
  Fourteen to 11 Royals, Marty Patton, will face the top of the batting order.
• 3:13:10
  And that means Molitor, who's four out of five, Cecil Cooper, who's two out of five,
• 3:13:16
  and Sal Bando, who's two out of four with a three run over.
• 3:13:24
  I don't think I mentioned the fact that Willie gets Kelly Gitt certificate.
• 3:13:28
  You knew that.
• 3:13:32
  He gets it twice tonight.
• 3:13:36
  Here we go, Marty Patton pitches. Molitor takes a breaking ball first strike.
• 3:13:46
  Most of the fans departed in the eighth inning.
• 3:13:52
  Here's the pitch. But it's followed by Molitor. They're trying to take advantage of George Scott.
• 3:13:58
  The big count now is O and two. Scott at third, LaCocca at first, Jamie Clark the catcher.
• 3:14:07
  The Brewers have had just two hits since the fourth inning.
• 3:14:14
  They got three runs in the first, one in the second, two in the third, five in the fourth,
• 3:14:19
  and they thought left the Royals for dead.
• 3:14:22
  Fly ball, right field, Al Collins can't find it. Now he makes the catch.
• 3:14:27
  Having problems with the light.
• 3:14:32
  And finally he found the ball and made the catch.
• 3:14:39
  What a way here's Cecil Cooper.
• 3:14:46
  He's in the five, he's strangled in the first and again in the sixth.
• 3:14:58
  Signal given by Jamie Clark. Marty nods yes, in the motion, here's the pitch.
• 3:15:04
  Breaking stuff is low, one ball no strike.
• 3:15:13
  Don't forget the job done by Stephen Gorey.
• 3:15:18
  Outside corner well drawn, one and one.
• 3:15:21
  Mingo worked his seventh and eighth innings allowing no hits, no runs, just one base runner.
• 3:15:26
  The Royals made two good plays back of him in the eighth, one by Todd Cruz, the one by Washington,
• 3:15:31
  the other by Collins. Here's the one-one pitch.
• 3:15:34
  But out in front of the plate, Jamie Clark up with the ball to the floor.
• 3:15:37
  It's in time, well done by James.
• 3:15:42
  And that is not an easy play.
• 3:15:48
  Jamie Clark is not at all used to that catcher's glove.
• 3:15:55
  And he made a fine throw to Pete LeCocque.
• 3:15:58
  Cooper can run and he was batting from the left side.
• 3:16:01
  Here's Bando, he's two out of four, a three run homer in the first.
• 3:16:11
  And he's batting, breaking ball, strike, going one to Bando.
• 3:16:21
  Signal given, here's the one pitch.
• 3:16:25
  Inside corner with a slider, strike two, it's nothing and do.
• 3:16:30
  Remember how the Royals shot the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night when they scored the tying run,
• 3:16:38
  a home run by Braun. There's a drive in the right center field, Collins to his right calling for it.
• 3:16:44
  And the Royals have incredibly won the game, an incredible victory.
• 3:16:49
  They trailed after four, 11 to two, they win 14 to 11, they score eight in the ninth.
• 3:16:57
  They did it without Brett and Porter who were removed from the game after five innings.
• 3:17:03
  And the Royals needless to say, a giddy bunch. I was going to say happy.
• 3:17:09
  They're happy but they have to be almost giddy as they go to the clubhouse.
• 3:17:13
  Final score again, Royals 14, Milwaukee 11 back in a minute.
• 3:17:18
  Let's check the West Coast games now. They're almost caught up with us in the national league after five innings now.
• 3:17:27
  Pirates lead the Dodgers one to nothing, four and a half, San Diego two and Chicago nothing.
• 3:17:37
  The other game on the West Coast, St. Louis and San Francisco four and a half, the Giants ahead of St. Louis two to one again.
• 3:17:43
  Willie McCovey has hit his 514th career home run. It came in the fourth, nobody on his ninth of the year.
• 3:17:51
  Rounding them up again in the national league, the finals, Houston two, Montreal one, the New York Mets beat Atlanta by a score of two to one.
• 3:18:00
  It was 1996, Philadelphia three in the American league, Chicago beat Boston eight to five, Baltimore six, Minnesota five, Texas outscored the New York Yankees nine to five.
• 3:18:11
  Home runs of the game, Oliver, Texas fifth one on his ninth of the year, Panella Yankees eight one on his seventh of the season.
• 3:18:20
  Seattle blank Oakland six to nothing, Cleveland defeated Seattle 13 to three and California knows that Detroit eight to seven, second straight loss in as many tries for the then-goes new skipper, Sparky Anderson.
• 3:18:34
  And this game of course, the heartbreaker for the home team, Milwaukee after leading 11 to two after four innings of play were beaten by three, 14 to 11.
• 3:18:44
  Let's go back for a minute or so for the wrap up as we return to County Stadium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• 3:18:53
  You may watch a lot more baseball before you see an incredible comeback like the one tonight.
• 3:19:00
  Just a miraculous, incredible, you think of a lot of adjie gives that you might apply to it.
• 3:19:06
  All in all, eight runs in the night that up to a 14 to 11 victory, the Royals failed as we said after four with a score of 11 to two.
• 3:19:15
  And the Brewers that left them for dead rise from the ashes they did.
• 3:19:20
  The Brewers weren't the only ones that left them for dead. I'm sitting here, I've seen it, I believe it but I haven't even begun to think any of that.
• 3:19:27
  It's everything that you said it was, boy a couple of thoughts about this ball clip.
• 3:19:32
  First of all about their integrity and their courage. It's been so easy to quit tonight.
• 3:19:37
  I've read those letters to the editor and I've heard those phone calls with the station complaining about the Royals.
• 3:19:41
  I really don't care to read or hear any more about them right now.
• 3:19:44
  And nobody knows what's going to happen from this point on but if there is to be a turning point in the season the Royals have been kind of lolling along.
