 The final one, of course, is by no means a sellout. And Cuellar goes to Dave Cash, who has four hits in a series, and one of them off Cuellar was a double. And he takes the strike. It is 309 down the line, 360 to left center, 380 a little deeper left center, then farther out to 390 and straightaway, 410. No balls in a strike to Cash, and they screw ball to that side for the ball, one-on-one. And the game against Cuellar, in which the Parch defeated them five-to-one, and Overton-Bittsburg with blasts his mound opponent. A couple of changes were made since that line-up. There's a ball hit toward third, and a bad hop to the fine play by Brooks Robinson, closing out. Ball by Dave Cash, 100 down there by Robinson. Now, Gene Klein stands in. On the regular season, battered at 308, one Overton-24 run battered, and he has one hit in the series. That was a triple, but it was not against Cuellar. As Al Oliver played in the center field slot against Cuellar, and battered in the number two position. Starts him off with a slow curve, hit deep toward left, then a Retman running hard along with Newford, and it'll be Retman. Switched, and Jim Simpson told you about, regarding Willys Stodgel. Manager Danny Murtaugh, even as far back as 1960, had one method of managing the club that sort of befuddled many reporters. For instance, he started against Cuellar in the third game, Oliver and battered him number two. And without any change in any manner at all, he just said my center fielder will be Klein, and he's batting in the number two spot. In other words, he rarely shifts his players by their ability. Once he establishes the lineup, that's it, here's Clemente in, and it's inside a ball. Bobby batting at 341 for the year. He'd 11 hits in the series, has a home run and free run battered in. The outfield played him way around the right. Newford giving him an awful lot of the left field line. A one-off pitch, and it's into the dirt for the ball, two and a half. If Cuellar should make a little bit of a mistake, Newford's in for a long run. Cause he is way off that line. For Chap, we get down toward Belanger, the shortstop comes up, he throws and gets a two-three pass, and we're going out of the bottom of the first. Tim Simpson back in Baltimore, Buford will lead it off against Steve Blass, who won the third game five to one, and in that third game, allowed the Oro just three hits. He struck out eight, he walked only two, the only run he gave up was Frank Robinson's lead-off home run in the seventh. That was the first ball game that the Pirates won. Blass, the tall right-hander from Canaan, Connecticut, 29 years old, warming up now with San Diem, and Buford, a switch-hitter batting left-handed as he's had to do him off to the series. Bob Beal made a brief appearance in the lead from the second game, and Luke Walker, a left-hander, started in the fourth game. Others are not. Yours have been seeing a steady dive of right-handed. Buford ready, Blass ready, and so's Bob Princeton. All right, Jim Simpson, and Buford, they're five hits in the series. Brass, two home runs. Buford, the yoke, as they say, or the counter against Blass, most everybody did. Two of the three hits on one and a single, and Brutram is from the other one, so it's really very little need of telling you what the rest of the Orioles did against Blass in that game, because they didn't do a thing. Now, Pagon has come up to that in third, coaching in third base, nearly a hundred for the Orioles. George Stowler over to first. The outfielder number to the right. Both scores are playing about in the first last game. Down a fast ball, underneath it's a ball. One ball, no strikes. Mr. Shalak calling the balls and strikes. Head to the hole, John Rice, Kim Odom around the pass with John Kibbler in left field, and Ed Bargo in right field. I'll switch off that. It's Bargo in left and Kibbler in right. Here's the delivery, and it sails outside. Field foul, I don't fire a Zed Bargo. Your right field foul, I don't fire John Kibbler. Two balls, no strikes. Say the Buford leading it off. The handy takes one through there. Shortened up as though he was not going to really bunt just watching the pitch all the way. Back one to Buford, no score in the bottom of the first. I have the two-one to the rear. Fast ball, a swing and a miss, and it's two-two. And at that time, a good riding fast ball by Blast. Blast has had plenty of days of rest. Then speculation, if Baltimore gets into the Pirate Bullpen, you might see Keeson and a couple of others on the line over with Walker. And for Baltimore, undoubtedly it could be due. Two-two pitch, here's a high curve on upstairs ball three, three and two. Keeson takes two, wind up by Blast, back with a curve, misses outside. Oh, look at this one. First block in the ball game. Blast only issued two blocks in the third game against Baltimore. The game he defeated, Cuiar, against a man who was a very difficult to follow the pitch to in that lead-off spot. Adding a two-eighty-two, 18 homers, and 72 runs battered in on the air. He has four hits in the series. No homers, three runs battered in. Blast checks him, sends him a fast ball outside ball. Branson just fell off the plate in the big hit yesterday for the Orioles and let go of the bat and blew it in the left field. He's a computer expert. He figures that he hits better in the two-hole than he does anywhere else in the Baltimore lineup. View for the short lead-off first and they delivery now and there's a foul straight back in the count of one and one at the season. And makes it even more difficult to throw the no-hitter. He's hit one off the end of the bat, or in on the fist and then loops or the bat breaks and all sorts of things occur. When the infield take on a third, Blast delivers and it's punted on a pop-up to Blast. He has it and no play at first. So Johnson trying to drop the butt, punt it up and Blast grabs it for the unassisted put-out and here's Boog Powell. Boog with three hits in the series, batting at two-fifty-six. 22 homers, 92 run, batted in on the regular season. No homers and one run batted in in the series. I see how the Pirates deploy the infield. They have been overshifting with Hernandez, Cash and Robertson. Cloudy skies are no score. The infield shift is on. Hernandez, Cash and Robertson all off the first base side and Powell steps out. Two ballers you expect to get those 10-rating shots have not yet done it. And Blast starts him right off with that change-up and he likes to establish that pitch early, as Jim Simpson told you the other day over to Pittsburgh. And once he establishes it, if it's in there, he'll stay right with it. He went to it very early in the ball game over to Pittsburgh and it was a successful pitch for him. And he started Powell off right there with it. Now he comes back with a fastball hit, Powell out of play down the right field line into the upper deck. So it's no ball, two strikes. The 0-2 pitch, there's that change-up, another Powell hit down the line. And we'll see whether Blast will be brushing back or go outside. Sange wants to chat things over with Steve, disposing of the pirates in a 1-2-3 order. And the Buxie would left 59 men on the bases. In the first six games, didn't have any problems there in the first inning. Now Boog Powell, no balls, two strikes. Fast checking on Buford over to the first and the pitch. And he almost hit him right off his left knee, came in fast, a ball with two strikes. He could have signed away, left so many men on 59 runners. He said, I think it's because we put so many on. A little bit to something that Blast is doing out on this. He steps off the mound, saw to come out. They want to determine some sort of a delivery by Blast. And there's one thing, if Blast has a certain type of delivery that is peculiar to him alone, he is allowed to do that. And there is no bucket ball. But it must be one that is peculiar to him. And the National League umpires are probably being question right here, Jim Simpson, about that move. Because Blast has a certain type of move that Weaver has affected with. Boog Powell, Murkowski, still out there in the middle of that level. He brought the entire infield in. Now they're on the pitching plate, right out there, talking it over. And all the umpires have become involved in this situation. It has to do, I'm sure, with his delivery along the mound and his position on the rubber as to whether or not, when he moves, as he comes to the plate, he's in the act of committing a bot. You step up at one foot, and step off, and then come back in. You couldn't be in a position of a bot. So it could be a little ploy on the part of Mr. Weaver to bring about a little anxiety in the part of Mr. Blast. Like a man on the first tee, as a man's about to swing a drive, and they say, do you inhale or exhale on your back swing? Maybe he'll weave it doing the same thing to Steve Blast. And they're allowing Blast's deliveries to see if he can acclimate himself to the manner in which Weaver is hugging. Now here comes Weaver back out again. And Weaver, apparently, is unhappy with the way in which Blast is pitching off that plate. You said Weaver's unhappy. How about Blast? Well, I have to disagree with you there. Blast would be extremely unsettled. Where the argument's been is just what he's been doing with it as he comes off, comes to the plate, and it's low for the ball, two and two. Once you put that foot down on that plate with a runner on base, there's a certain thing you can do with it, and it's a certain thing you can do with it, and undoubtedly, Weaver or Ascotts picked up a motion by Blast. And any part of that rubber he wants to pitch off, as long as he has made contact with it. Now they may have said that he was all the way up past the rubber and over on the first base side. We'll tell you more about that in a minute. Three, two pitch. Swing and a miss, he stuck him out. Some pitchers positioned their anchor put on the pitching rubber right in the middle of it. Some work off the third base side of the rubber. Some work off the first base side of the rubber. And undoubtedly, now, Jim Simpson, the world Weaver is saying that he did not have contact with it. He was too far off it. And that he was more short first base with no contact made whatsoever. Gages it perfectly against the wind. And the wind that went without any question affected the flight of that ball. That had a chance to be. And now to hear up again. Bob Princes, we go to the top of the second inning. The ties went down in order against Cliar. In the first inning, we had a little discussion that, oh, we were the young Blast, Steve Blast, Ernie Merchaw, about Steve Blast's position on the pitching rubber in the oil first. Uford walk, but Blast got the next thing to roll. And Bob, I was watching Frank Robertson hit that long cloud of right field. He was not taking off in the running. Feeling it probably would be caught. And we cautioned everybody. Robertson does have the bad right leg. And he was barely prodding to first base. Well, you're very right there, Jim. And the part of it took off and really ran was Roberto Clemente. And but for the wind blowing very strongly from that sector over toward left, that ball could have challenged the wall. Here's Bob Robertson. And he belts one right down to Brooks Robertson. So now, second only to Clemente in the New World Series. The Baltimore. And here, I guess, about Wednesday, they head for Japan, where they'll play over there for about a month. Teams in Japan. Appreciation is utterly unbelievable. The old one pitch. First shoots come up and you just keep right on playing. No balls. Two strikes. One out. Certainly four 20 game winners in as many games in a row. 20 victory mark. A ball and two strikes. Scroovo missing outside. Brooks sets low over the plate. And he sends a scroogey down there. It's bounced off the chest of Brooks Robertson. Keeps it in front of him for the mound. Brooks Robertson head against the Pirates in the first couple of games as they attempt very much to. There's seven walks in the series and four hits. He's batting sixth in the order. On the year, batted at 295 with 48 homers and 125 run-ins since the start of this game. Fifth and sixth game. Paul is here for the moment with two down and none on in the top of the second. Oh, two pitch. And Scott goes back down. It's a perfect two-hitting. The first thing in there after that, Davey Johnson on a golf boob pow. Left a much discussion over his delivery from the mound. And Jeff Franklough and two shots. And he throws him out. That ball shot it right over the mound and took a divot. Hit something and got him on a play-in straight away. Asseponees for a call-strike. Keeson and Bob Moose. Keeson to be married and Moose to be the best man back to Pittsburgh. At least it'll hop him over to the Friendship Airport where a club that plane is on him from somebody in Pittsburgh to fly him on in here to get to the wedding on time. Two balls in a strike. National career of Bruce Keeson. And he has victory in one of these three games. Here, two-fifty hours. Get the ball, throw it up and force push, Robinson. Bob and Dave Cash, it was bird dogged in behind him. Couldn't come up with it. And that's there's going to be a error charge here. As the ball went right between the legs and Bobby Roberts skipped off that one leg and went out in a shallow right behind first. And Dave Cash had to get it. So the first had committed an error. And the error charge, the first postman, Bob Roberts. And this Robinson in a second. And the count is not Melanger. It's about that 266. Oh, and here's no one who's had it in in their series. 266 for the season. And as the ball goes right into the tag, just one second, you've got a first base and you get a one, but you get the double base on. It's by George Collins. Melanger has had two balls on it. It's four unassisted on the first base. The inning showed no runs, no hits, one error, one left. At the end of two, no score. As the ball prints as we go to the top of the third inning and the bottom of the part patting order. And Jose Pagán, Jack Cremendaff, and Steve Blass. Neither team had to hit yet. The part committed an error, but as it turned out, it was in constant. Score's the game of score. And here's Bob. Jose Pagán standing in on the air battered at 241. There's three hits in the series and two of them against Cuellar with a double and a single and a run battered in. He takes a pass ball and sunk a little outside ball on it. Perfect ball through the front two. Marks his motion, sends a screw ball, it's right up on it. Second for a strike, one and one. Marks now the seventh here. It's been a great bench player. Robinson has it. He throws it across, one out. Two, three assists, and one put out. Four hits in the series. And he took by his own batter to see what their rule. They did not their full at ball. Marks came up and hit him and better fences and outer fence. Seen feet high on Mark as he hits at the left of the 360 mark, they're in play. If they hit to the right of it, it's a home run and all sorts of things. Fowl down the first base side, 0-2. Come over here for the weekend series and her aceman, Davey Johnson, an easy two hopper on the first pitch. This is the best when you get as far as the tie. Four other clubs, the last of which was the Cardinals back in 1968. For the fewest errors, it was a seven game series of two. The archer, Bob Robertson, made that three so the pirates can no longer end the ball game, having left 59 men on base. The record is 64 in a seven game series by Detroit. But that's why the pirates aren't challenging that record either. They have gone down nine men in a row, leaving nobody off. Now, Mike Cuiar, the victor for Baltimore, and he will get a hand as Bob Prince steps back. Cuiar in the season. I think too, Jim Simpson, is it not correct that if Baltimore should win this, there'll be the first team in serious history to win a series of seven games winning all four in her own ballpark. Absolutely correct. And of course, the Euros are working Bob on a nine game winning streak in this ballpark. Blast starts him off with a tailing fast ball outside, one ball to no strikes. Hagan is uptight to the left hand batter, going steady with that foul. Swung and could have had better success if he'd have swung when San Guine let it go back to blast. Ball was by him, in other words. Took two swings on a pitch one time. His name was Billy White. On a big, fearful change, he upset his weight. He was well out in front of the swung and he hit it upon the second swing. And of course, that didn't count. And a miss and Cuiar goes down and Blast has recorded his second strikeout. Buford, who walked to lead off the Baltimore first inning, he's been the one of the two Baltimore bachelors against Blast. One is one of the three, I should say. Buford walked. Robinson, Brooks, that is what. And Henry's got a board on an air. Little difficult when you get involved in plays here, Jim Simpson and an air trying to phonetically let you know who's who. But when you start talking about Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson and Bob Robertson, you get yourself twisted up a little bit. Here's a curve into the dirt in behind Buford and he skipped rope. I think he's upset, didn't let the ball hit it. A pitch when he wanted to get hit was Jackie Robinson. Sorts of motion, but he'd never leave the spot. And he'd get hit, one on one. You are supposed to try to get out of the way of it. But he's outside with it, two on one. And of course, his father tried to get over the dugout and get down on the field and it took a little trouble to get him there. There's a ball jammed in beautifully. It's hit down where Blast, but it's a foul ball. Today, Jim Simpson, I don't know if the ball, the more fine security people here would recognize his father. He had enough trouble in his own home park getting down on the field. I was funny, Tony Gubbeck was trying to interview the both radio and television. And as the gentlemen tried to get across the dugout, at least not knowing who it was, tried to keep him away. And Steve broke away from Tony and said, let me get him. That's my father. They embraced and then the interview. Don Gubbeck. Blast, he's got three and two. He nibbled on the corner that time. Didn't quite figure it out. Three, two, three and a walk his first time left. Swings and hammers a foul off the first base side on a pitch with the Welling on the hands. He predicted a couple of the outcomes successfully. Decided not Welling up alone. Three balls, two strikes. And there's a ball felled into the right side to get to it, let's say for many. And Eupert has the first hit of the ball game for either side. A line single the right center field. It comes with one away and the ball a more third. And Cash might have been spiked accidentally there. God, they went right to first base for the ball and fired it on up to Cash. You really put the ball on Eupert and Eupert. Got a spike in there. Accidentured to Roberts in the first baseman to Cash the second baseman or one to three to four. Cash is going to be all right. The third inning, we'll be up now with two men out. Moose has a good move. Blast is just a shape behind Moose and Moose. And that moves it right through on Eupert who can run. Good shot to the third. They gone, makes a brilliant play on a short hop and throws him out. A magnificent play down there. But like the Pirates, they have no runs. The Pirates haven't enjoyed having a baserunner yet. They've gone down nine men in a row with only one hitting the ball hard. That was Bob Robertson's lead off the second with the line drive right to Brooks Robinson. They go to the top of the fourth. Score a score game in the top of the Pirate batting order. New spot. 15-71 series. Clay Howard is back coaching in third for the Pirates and over to first base, Don Leppert. You know, I'm sure of the same of Earl Weaver. They all won delivery and there's a ball hit out toward the chance that he goes to the left and spares it to the one here that grabs. Takes the second base dive of Dave Cash. Holds on to it for an hour. Here's Clines. Well, they're in here range of Mertas answer about what difference it would make about winning this game in the financial side of it, whether it would affect the play. And there's a bunt by Clines and play by Bruce Powell. That's it for a base hit, fine-feeling like Clay or a low throw and Powell on a ball throw and right in the runner came up magnificently. You know, they talk about this Baltimore Enfield Bob being with Brooks Robinson in the third. Mark Philanger, short of David Johnson, second. Do not count off Boogtala. I'm sure you don't. But one of his best plays is digging the ball out of the dirt and that was the prime example right there. Save the base hit. Clines is quick. That was a magnificent play. Just super. I wanted to say what Danny Mertas' answer to the reporter was about the difference from the prime money rate on the winner and loser, Sherry said play the seventh game. Pride is the thing you're thinking about. You're pride in the game and being the world champion. Here's Bobby Clemente. That's the shortest first time up. Hit the screwball a mile in the left center field. It is going. It is done. Over the left center wall center and 80 feet away. And those who said he couldn't pull up the ball just found out on the high screwball. What do you do with it? And the pirate team wants another base hit for Clemente, his second home run. There's a bounce from Bobby Robinson in the hole. Over goes Brett Robinson, goes to Powell. Clemente who hits the home run and now gets safely in 14 consecutive World Series games. Puts the pirates on top here in the top of the fourth as we go to the bottom of the fourth. Pittsburgh won in Baltimore. Not to bring up an old dispute, but the statement's made by Roberto Clemente that the Memorial Stadium in Baltimore has less than a good ballpark in which to play. Not beyond the center field best. Many times the ball comes out of the three in the small park. I wonder what he's doing. He's wearing it off. It'd be pretty hard to hit him from all sections. That hit, by the way, was the first surrendered by Cuellar. That's lead one nothing playing here in the top of the fourth. Each team in with one hit. And a tailing fastball blasts a little off his strikes to Boog, the infield shift again. Just in front of the Orioles of the seventh. The first, the third, the fifth, the sixth, and now here at the seventh. 100 feet to get to it. Robinson have the most hits with the Baltimore Orioles. Pittsburgh leading one nothing on a booming home run hit by Bobby Clemente to left center field. Robinson fly deep to right in the first inning. Playing with a heavily bandaged leg. Pops this one foul up behind home plate, saying the ingrifts back. But it'll not get out on the playing field. It started off as if Baltimore is going to blow Pittsburgh right out of the park. Go on delivery has hit high, and Pittsburgh went back to free river stadium. And they turned things around and blasted one of the fellows that did it. And they then began a long string of scoreless innings for Baltimore. A few hits per game and very few runs, of course, and three straight losses in a row. Then the filling 10 in the victory yesterday. The O2 delivery, and there's a foul straight back. 162 games for the regular season. Three games for Baltimore in the championship series. And six here, and it's all on the line for them in one contest. And for the first one more game than that is they had to go four games before they could defeat the Giants for the National League Championship. The O2 pitch to Frank Robinson, a changeup, struck him out swinging. And though he missed a shot, I said he did get a piece of the foul tip there. And that is the third strikeout for Blass. And with two down, then on here's Merv Retman, who bounced a shot in the second inning. Harris-Leid won nothing here in the bottom half of the fourth. Two away, and then on. Roberto Fremonti slammed a high scoochie right into the left spin slot for a home run. Blass is wide with this little football. Fremonti with one more hit with Richardson. Lou Brock, there's a slow chopper down to third. Take on comes on again. Another short off, and he throws out Retman. And take on continues to scintillate over there at third. We have things we didn't expect. As of yesterday, the Fives were holding on to a two-nothing lead in the late innings, and Baltimore came back to take that thriller by the score of three to two. Well, the ball game is far from over, but again. And I miss football up into his eye. His first time left. Nothing fits for Erd with same game, the winner first in the fifth. Fox in this series, and that's the first time today, Clare. Bob to the right, it's Owen Tudor Robinson in this one-to-nothing ball game. They're in the last of the fifth. The pirate leaders, they win it. They're the world champions. Right field, Fremonti comes in a couple of steps, and there's the basket catch. Route number one of the Baltimore Fifth. High with his glove and right hand, mess up against his chest. L.A. Hendricks, who reached on the third error of the spot, Robertson. They're on a ground ball between first and second. 17 times it's out of the World Series. Does have the power to get a ball out of here. He did in the American League cancinch. Long, big, and left-handed against the right-hander, Steve Blass, who is trying to win his second game of this 1971 World Series, and to win the series for the pirates. Hendricks steps back in. Blass, working off the left side of the rubber, throws, and it's up high. Waking this outside ball once. On deck is Mark Vellanger. The only run of the ball game. A high screwball drawn to Roberto Clementi with two out in the fourth inning. Clementi, drill over the left center field of the wall. Started to wind up, and now steps off, and is ready to take the signal again. The strike on the outside front, it looks like a slaughter, one ball, one strike. The score in yesterday's ball game was two to nothing with the parts getting their runs in the second and third innings. The Orioles tying it up with a single run from the sixth and the seventh, and of course we went on to this half inning. The Roberto Clementi goes over to the right, and cannot get the drive of Hendricks. Ball is picked up by Quines, is going to second base, and Hendricks teams in, and has a double. No speed, did not get to it. The first and second and one out, back in the second. Up with another opportunity to drive in a ball tomorrow run. 19 times a pass. Stamps looking out for Steve Lane. Last pitching from the stretch, goes to breaking fifth, hits the straightaway center field, Quines goes back, Hendricks makes a zipped attack, up Quines has it, Hendricks plus going to third base, and Quines fires with the cutoff Van Hernandez. Hendricks goes back to second. Two down, lead off the third inning. One to nothing, the Pirates, we are in the last of the fifth. Temperature in the mid-60s, Leblis not as strong now as it was at the game's beginning. Hits down to Robertson in the first base, and backs him up a few stops. The baller does have home run power. You'll take the big swing, outside with the first pitch, ball one, Mike Cleo. Two hits, I have to submit at that error, all the more I go on, and it just picks up its second hit. Last looks back at Hendricks, and goes outside again, and it's two and a half of the pitch with Mike Cleo. In our turn, Noor elected to go to the ball pit today, and the first side of me, are in the ball pit. Breaking fifth, drops open. Flatter, you're off one strike. Brothers deep in center field. Swing in the nest, it's two balls, two strikes. With a double down the second base, not taking a big lead. John comes over near the oral dugout, and then watches the drop deep in the seats down there. You know, Jim Simpson, Baltimore ownership, the hot burger family in all, and all connected with the Baltimore Club, of course over on the third base side, and the prior ownership of the Galbra family, and the Johnson's in all, and it's one thing, the financial side of it doesn't mean one thing to them. They're just right up on their nerve ends. This is really a great drill for both members of the J-Clubs. Two, two, and it's right down the middle call. Strike three, Hendricks is left standing a second base. The runs one hit, no errors, and one man left. He's on to five full innings now, and the Pirates leave Baltimore, and the seventh game of the World Series, plus the shoes of the Baltimore infielders, as they're dragging it off, and usually, she will come over to the third base coach, by the opposition, and either brush the shoes off, or on some occasion, she will sweep dirt onto her shoes. Yesterday, Frank Osiak of the Park did not come out of the dugout until she left. Today, he was over there, and very wary at watching what he was going to do, and young Miss Wurrheim went up and took the broom and swatted third base coach, Jim Odom, right in the seat of the pass. Here's his new plan. Down to the second. Hello wherever you're listening. On American forces, radio around the world, are here in the United States. The score is one to nothing, top of the sixth of Pirates, which hit into the deciding game of the World's highest ground of the dust, and that hits back in the third. And a swinging foul, it dribbles back behind the plate and over toward the Oriole dugout. Back one. The screw ball has stayed high, to Clemente in the fourth inning, that's the only run of the ball game, a home run. Down ball right back to Cuellar, gloves it on the mound, takes this time, allows blast to run a little bit, and throws it up. Hit a ground ball in the first inning, it took a bad hop, and cut Brooks Robinson, but on a good play, Brooks threw him out. And then in the fourth inning, he sent a line drive at Davy Johnson running off to his left court first base club on the outfield grass. Well, cash is over two and four to 28. They are a throw, strike, breaking fit. The bat in this World Series has not struck out. One strike bit spout off to the right, and he has two strikes on it. Cash makes good bat contact. He has now been up 28 times and hasn't struck out once, because the speedy gene climbs, infield straight up. On the swing, Hendricks cannot hold on to it, and now he may have taken a pop on the hand. At least in one of his thigh muscles, he's walking around, it is still two strikes, Hendricks walks out in front of the plate. Yeah, I'm in that regard that you just mentioned, Cash is a very tough man to strike out. It's proven down through this season, too. Myrtah will use him a lot on hitting and running and running and hitting. He's with that bat control. He's not afraid to send that man. He hand throws and is a foul dip, and this one looks as though it goes off Dave Cash's left foot. Hendricks has taken a foul dip, and now Cash takes one. Still two strikes to catch, with one out from the Pittsburgh six. Well, Jim, as you said, and I said early in the show, they have all wanted to rest up. Overhand, bitch, it stays outside. One ball, two strikes. The Orioles, as Bob pointed out, will not rest up on Wednesday. They'll climb aboard a plane and fly to Japan for about a month of exhibitions. One ball, two strikes inside, it's two-two. And in recent years, the team that has gone to play the World Series in Japan has knocked down the champion. Most of the time, the runner's up. The Orioles are trying to make that scheme today. Swinging a nest, and they talk about his strikeout, and Dave Cash goes down on a screwball. For Cuellar, here's Gene Clonk. Hit the first pitch in the first inning, and drove Rhettman deep in center field to haul in his blind drive, and then spun it. Cuellar made the fine-feeling play in the fourth, and threw him out. He was not sacrificing. He was trying to put his way on base. Clonk's very fast. Cuellar ready to throw, and Clonk goes for an outside loop. It's swinging and missing. One to nothing, the pirates. They're going for their team to come back. Another swing and a nest by Clonk. A little bit more than 44,000 here, which is about 8,000 below capacity. Today, we are also playing to a below capacity crowd in the Memorial Stadium. Two strikes to Clonk, two fouls, and then it goes off his bat. And he'll have to come back. The ball bounced out of the fair territory, but Neston Schadeich, as he's done on several occasions today, very quick to caught a foul and in a hurry. Bernardo Clemente with two outs. Clemente has 12 World Series hits. The record held by two men, Bobby Richardson, and Lou Brock. Clemente will have at least a couple more shots for this game. Fastball is blown away, one ball, two strikes. I think we pointed this out the last time Cuellar pitched stuff in Pittsburgh. He is known for his screwball, but his outpitch is his fastball. One ball, two strikes. Comes back with a screwball. It stays outside, two balls, two strikes. Oh, and two to Clonk's now, two and two. Clonk's only played in 97 games, but still has the pirates installed on bases with 15 swings and misses, and Cuellar strikes out two of the three men. He faces. And that's his first strikeout. The long hits are errors. We go to the last of the six. The score of the pirates won. Now the Orioles nothing. We are moving now into the Baltimore. Down here, it'll be standing in. He has walked and singled thus far. Pirates leading the Orioles one to nothing. And Jim Simpson, I think, pointed out earlier. In fact, I'm sure he did. Buford enjoys the reputation of being about the best leadoff hitter in all of the... In Baltimore history, Bob and Buford, as you said, has walked and singled and been picked up by I think, one scorer this year with 98 and it starts out as the mark of a five leadoff men. And Buford in this World Series has two home runs off a right-handed by the name of Bob Moose. Buford rolled War Moose out. One to nothing to score. Steve Blass ready to throw out a Buford switch-hitter who watches the strike that's beneath. Blass, as we told him when we came on the air, in our pregame interview said that he was thrilled to have this chance to win the seventh game of the World Series. So, so many pictures, have the talent to do it, but not many get the chance. And he's glad to have it. Breaking this Buford ground to south, asked George Stuller, the coach of first base. He also said, however, that you wouldn't have heard this on the team bus going back to one of our reporters or the Pittsburgh reporters that he would like to throw his next pitch in spring training and breaking them to Roberto Clemente. He felt there would not be quite as much pressure. Buford has been on base five times in a row and six times in his last seven times of balance. He's just like it's just Mr. Bouchard. And ball two strikes to Buford. Higher cleavage by Ron, the only run of the ball game Roberto Clemente's home run back in the fourth inning. Many second home run of the series, breaking pitch blocked inside in the third. It's two balls to strike to Buford. It's abused every single one of their men. Ball 25 on the roster. The Orioles have used 21 of their 25 with Chico Simone, Jerry Devannon, Kirk Motten, and played Al Ripple not used yet. Two balls to strike. Fans would like a run. Last throws foul to back. It's still two to the Buford. James Ohr, the youngster now ready for college. He lost both hands in a flash fire when he was about two years old. It's been the bat boy of the Orioles for many years. He's retiring after this year. Wants to go on to State Features College and wind up teaching mathematics. Rader Dredes was the one handicapped person to do the bat boy Baltimore result. Shot to Buford and it has three balls to strike. You could chuck it all away. After set up here, Climes comes in a couple of steps, now backs up one or two and a half. This is the first out of the six. Johnson, who is over two. Last time, I'll get them all very sharply, but the God made a fine play on the short half to throw him out. Bob Prince was talking about Pittsburgh pitches. Bruce Keeson, the young 21-year-older who will be married tonight. Keeson ready to throw to Johnson. Those high pop-up at the infield and as a shortstop says he hasn't. Wedding brought to come down and has it. And now, as Bob was saying, that Keeson may take some kidding, boot power coming up about scheduling a wedding on the 7th day of the World Series. I know a broadcaster who broadcasts a title fight on the night he was met. The voice of the Pittsburgh Pirate. That's plenty. All for two. He can tie the game up with one swish of the bat. Takes a strike on the outside corner. And towel before striking out back in the first inning. Scared, steep last with a couple of shots, ripped, line drives fouled on the right to line. Two hits one hour for the Pirates, no on two hits for the Orioles. We are in the last of the six. The curve misses outside. One ball, one strike. That's that change that last likes to get established early. We are both done super job here through the first six runs. Last ready. Swing and a miss. Strike to the towel. One ball, two strikes. The pitchers have made few mistakes along the way. Coyar made the big one. The high school motorcycle for the homerun. The pitching has been so good that neither the Pirates nor the Orioles have had any activity at all out on the full pit. Steering into the big left and a boob towel out of Miami, Florida. And throws another curve and strikes one and a half. Well with Jim Simpson, Bob Brent here at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Where the Pirates have the lead. One and a nothing. They've had two hits but one of them left the park when Bobby Clemente smashed a homerun in the fourth inning over the left center wall. His 12th hit of the series he needs one more to tie a mark of 13 by Bobby Richardson and Lou Brock. Think of the plate right now. It's been a tremendous true champion that he is. And this has been a great duel thus far and still has a long way to go, Jim. Now Bob you might say that the Baltimore fans are responding like champions also. They gave Mr. Clemente quite innovation as he steps up. They can recognize great talent from this year. Clemente with a high screwball on the first pit for a homerun in the fourth inning and swings on the first pit here and drills it straight away to center field. Retman has only to move a couple of steps and takes the line again. Bob Robertson has lined the first Robinson hitting the first pit sharply hit all off Cuiar and then ground of the Brooks again hitting the first pit in the fourth inning Robertson has been retired twice by Cuiar on two pitches on another thing the pirates seventh inning time running out for the Orioles fire is holding on to a very tenuous one run lead strike and this time Robertson takes the pitch not swinging on the first one as he's done with a big uppercut swing that can get the ball out of here in a hurry it's in his four for twenty but has batted in with his two homeruns five RBI's four that he has faced here is Manny Sandin Robertson played one off his chest at third base to throw it out on the second inning and then Sandin singled in the fifth and was nabbed on a force play in a very close force play at second base on a fine throw by Mark Cuiar kneeling at this wedding Sandin is now ready and Cuiar is ready to throw and the ball hit the right field in comes Frank Robertson now he drifts back and off to his left and Cuiar has a very easy inning a run hitter error has done less to go to the last of the seventh apart leave the Orioles with Jim Simpson bad prince here from the Memorial Stadium in Baltimore Orioles Baltimore Maryland here in the seventh inning Frank Robinson Merb Redmond and Brooks Robinson two days ago said we've got to show the kind of team we are they scored the winning run last ready to throw and he checks wings on a breaking that pops it up cash at second base who takes it and there's one out eliminates himself by checking his swing and popping up the cash at second base one another and there's score and we are in the last of the seventh here is Redmond says threw him out on the second the guy made a fine play on him in the fourth the throw amount Redmond has the world series home run very deep and straight away and there's over one strike and it's for one Orioles need a run the top blasts will beat them five to one in the third game is looking just superlative this afternoon he is struck out five he is walked two he is allowed two bases on single and a double throw breaking this popped up foul and off to the right another blow one ball one strike and it's three runs yesterday to win one to Redmond the Brooks Robinson on deck now they get something going Clare undoubtedly will be batted for the long way to go Robinson is out Redmond the number five hitter is up two balls one strike back and throws a strike at the knee two more slowly ready with a two two and throws it's high and Redmond almost took a full cut at it checked this way and it's three balls two strikes last John Buford in the third and since that time has been getting the pitches over and making them hit it now he's up to three and two again bouncing ball Hernandez playing in perfectly by second base and the shortstop throws him out four more sevens and there's one nothing ball game that the Pirates leave and here comes Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore fans looking in for some heroic just walked in the second and fly to Redmond the fifth it's a long ball he's got plenty of time to throw him out that's one of the easiest innings of Steve Blast and you've got the four or five and six hitters around Tim Ferrara and now we've gone through seven ball innings and those Pirates hopefully for them are edging closer to the World Championship they lead one another with Jim Simpson by Prince from Memorial Stadium in Baltimore Maryland where Stodgel Fagan and Hernandez will go to Cuellar here in the eighth and with Dobson that's more advantage of Earl Weaver which is to be ready is anybody's ball game and here's Jim Simpson Mike Cuellar has struck out six men including Stodgel twice and each time he's struck him out with a fastball on three straight pitches in the second inning and on the three to count through the fastball by him in the fifth way our throws and is down load of Stodgel ball one eighth inning one or nothing the Pirates Lamedi's home run on the fourth the only run before the game flying into the seventh inning in Pittsburgh Cuellar was leading two games two other trading two to one he said I'd take that same kind of performance today Cuellar back it fell off to the right well Mike has not allowed two runs only one run through seven innings now but the Orioles have not been allowed a run by Steve Blass around first you know Jim Simpson Steve Blass was quoted as having said he went over the scouting reports very carefully of course on the Baltimore Club but he noticed one thing while awaiting his opportunity to pitch that was not in the scouting report that he felt would stand him in good stead when he pitched he was the manager Murthorn and he said well that's the way it feels stay with it the gun the batter over to ball one did he say what it was no that he wouldn't do and I presume it's because he felt that this game seventh might be necessary and it turned out to be exactly that on a note of a gun it was all for two today Gargel on the first they are and it's one ball one strike one run on three hits and a narrative didn't cost him a thing Baltimore no runs two hits and no errors the manager was pulled around toward second base to the left end of Gargel really grounded it the Belanger is right he went over to try to back end and the ball scooted right under his glove for the base drive center field Redmond on his horse going back it is back the early warning starts up against the wall Gargel is on nothing watching the flight of the ball an Earl Weaver is now coming out Gargel actually stopped at second base your eyes of course would be glued out there to see whether or not Redmond was going to catch it Gargel stopped at second and from our position you and I both know that ball is not catchable but down in the field that is not the case and he had to hustle as you described to get in there even though they cut the throw off right in front of home play we are on the top he read a couple of insumes at the outside of the broadcast there is no tomorrow have all went to the rest everybody in the ball pen but at the moment Earl Weaver is going to stick with Mike Coyar right hand is warming up Fernandez Dewap and Coyar with a seven or rather eight and nine batters in the lineup Dewap is going to stay in there doubles in the third game of this World Series off Mike Coyar and drove in the run and he's driven another run today shoot a nothing Sarger let it off with a single out the guns long drive double off the left center field wall scored him Fernandez trying to move him along with a bump month's foul off to the right of the play Rickard and Wat are now the two pitchers warming Dobson and Leonard have taken a seat in the bottom of the old pen Earl Weaver called the Earl the best team in the history of Major League Baseball Danny Murtaugh said his team was underestimated but it's not comparable long way from the end yet I wouldn't know how Jim Simpson you could feel comfortable against the team like the Baltimore Orioles and certainly in the National League and you saw them enough times to know the same would hold true against the team like the San Francisco Giants in the Atlanta Braves you just can't feel it's over until you're in the locker room back in ready to dig in with a two strike jump right field by Frank Robinson goes back Fagon goes to tag Robinson takes the one handed throw throws on the third base and Fagon wisely stays a second as Robinson bounces one on one off to strikes Robinson the third base bring up Steve Blass who's done part of John he is shut out the Earl threw seven innings on two bases and struck out five and walked two on its feet not to warm up but to watch the ball game at a cross first base now must turn around and walk back won this World Series three times before 1909 1925 and 1960 they lost the first whatever plate in 193 and again in 1927 Baltimore has won two World Series in 1966 and 1970 lost to the bets in 1969 Baltimore has managed five hits off Steve Blass in 16 innings and they've managed one run he won five to one in Baltimore Blass is back in ready now with a one strike count the gun leads off a second played by a blast hit to the opposite field swing to the low pitch it strikes two the ball is almost in the dirt brightened considerably although remaining overcast since the beginning of this game they are back in throws ground ball right back to play our keeps the gun at second tosses on the boot pow and the two out in the third eight Dave Cash thrown out by Robinson in the first lying to Johnson in the fourth and struck out the cash in his 29th time at bat in the World Series ground ball toward books Robinson very slowly hit Robinson out when it goes on the first base dug out of the dirt on another time played by Bruce Powell now there's really hauled a couple out of the dirt now how to say take it and turn it into out last of the eight we go the Pirates lead the Orioles two to nothing from Memorial Stadium and Baltimore Maryland where the Pirates won it about 11 years ago he went down and didn't see Masarovsky's own run when the Pirates won it they go down to the dressing rooms the possible celebration yesterday he went down to the score two to one the Pirates and the Orioles won the body and now they go down to the score two to nothing the Pirates and Henrich sets in Bill we got us at the outcome of this series thank you Bob Brents ball is bouncing through right up and the Orioles fans are well aware as you are of the situation time is running out flashback with the fastball in and of the hands with two balls one strike we had a shutout in the final game of the series it was five years ago and Dave McNally of the Orioles did it to the Dodgers winning one to nothing right here in this ballpark two and one breaking pitch it is a power ball gloved by Robertson down in back of first base and it's two balls Osmond's Sandy Kofax of the Dodgers now at NBC we're happy to say an eligible for the hall of fame next year in 1965 shutout the Minnesota twins to the nothing at Minnesota balls two strikes to Henrich's Belanger on deck a pass who did quite a bit of walking around the mound and the third game up in Pittsburgh when he won that game five to one as walked around the mound again it is now ready to throw to Henrich's third hit given up by the old Ben against the scorer to go to work and then standing up watching the master piece of blast total of three hits in that five to one win and it's now to run to the third hit here there's Mark Belanger 0 for two hit into a double play and lined up to the nothing when the last of the eighth is the last game of the World Series check his swing does not it's strike one out and on deck the bat's where clear 0 for four it's not going anywhere first from the stretch comes back foul back to the screen it's one and two to Belanger Belanger during the regular season of 266 in this series he is 4 for 20 to Ben Pony as the ball got through and bounced down into the outfield home run hitter is up he has been up four times in the World Series each time as a pinch hitter the bunks have moved the runners along touches takes inside out of the hands and he wasn't looking to bunks then all one Tom Buford Pirate's two ball them on nothing the oil's best chance to the last of the eighth and it's up to these with the bat balls strike on he goes to third I'm going to show they have been up and that ties the series record as we said he has not been successful as a pinch hitter thus far three to second Belanger first blast he squares around a bun good punch blast has to go to first base the runners move up on that bun five show play I believe I saw Sandy and Buford third I think we've got to play a third base maybe blast did not see him the last one blast went to first okay Jim last run in the throttle you do not want to have it is to lose the out and to keep the potential winning run goes it's blown away one ball one strike to Buford Hendrick's on a third Belanger's second there's one out of the last of the eighth the Pirates lead it by two this is the first time that the Orioles with two 20 game winners white deer and half baton as ball it is bound back one ball two strikes the Walker and just he and the Pirate both in the first base one run comes in it's two to one as Robertson step on the bag and moving to third is Belanger two ball to more one when the last of the eighth and Johnson gets to tie up the ball game the gone is over on the I'm talking to Steve last man he said he walked out in front of the bounds looking to see what Dave Johnson will do what the Orioles will try with a tie run on a third base Jim Johnson is somewhat in a similar situation as he was yesterday on the tie run from second base right now he's in a similar situation as he was yesterday last throw is blown away to Johnson ball one split off the eighth with a single Belanger found out the ball and Dupers didn't feel grounded to Robertson at first scored the run ball accidentally checked and fouled off to the right step before the world series began this should be a super series whether the Pirates win it or the Orioles win it it's been fulfilled this has been a super series and the outside two strikes tie run 90 feet away staying on a third base is Mark Belanger this is an occurrence that we saw happen in the third game quite frequently as a matter of fact the Pirates do this quite frequently in the National League Championship they must have had conferences every ball game between catching pitching but now that's the shot I can going out saying gentlemen break this thing up two strikes with Johnson Van Guillen back moves a rather glass walking run behind he's ready Johnson takes inside checks his wing it's 2-2 on the third base go lead it by a run last for the eighth together with Jim Simpson and Bob brings it to the top of the ninth inning the Pirates lead in the ball game 2-1 and for the second straight day an Orioles 20 game winner is a late inning really for namely Pat Dobson Dobson came on in the top of the 10th inning yesterday when the ball game was locked up then gave way for McNally before Baltimore won it in the bottom of the 10th inning now it's Dobson replacing Mike Quayar Quayar can only be the loser as he leaves the ball game with the Pirates leading the Orioles 2-1 Quayar traveled the first eight innings gave up the two Pirate runs along with four base hits and he struck out the fifth in the top of the ninth against Dobson it'll be the right hand swinging Clines Clemente and Robertson struck out in the sixth Dobson of course will try to keep the Pirates within a run and the Orioles will have one more chance to try and catch the Pirates Dobson ready with the first pitch it's a slider over like one in the bottom of the ninth if you care to look ahead Blue Powell Frank Robinson and Merb Redman Dobson the right hander to throw to the right handed hitter and a breaking fit stays inside and Clines ducks under it it's one ball one strike he was thrown a lot in the bullpen and some in this for the Orioles pitches outside and low Clines did not go around it is two balls one strike Pirate bullpen for the moment at least no one is throwing Roberto Clemente is on deck as Dobson throws ground ball right up the middle Belangerd back a second base quickside arm throw and he has got the speed he climbs to the fine play Jim reputedly Clines has the greatest speed among the Pirates from home plate down to third base so Belangerd had a range quite a bit to his blood side had to make a slightly different shot to get Clines to the back here is Roberto Clemente has homered in this ball game has been thrown out and lined a retman in center field his home run in the fourth was the first run of the ball game of this two to one game which the Pirates lead he has hit safely in all fourteen World Series appearances had one more base hit and he'll tie a record for the most hits in the series breaking pitches down low from Dobson ball one thirteen base hits by Bobby Richardson and Lou Brock and Clemente now has twelve and he has made a lot of believers out of American League followers what kind of ball player he is low and away it is two and oh now Dave Leonard has sat down and the Baltimore ball pen and another right hander takes his place along with McNally and he won Dobson ready and throws and misses outside the strike zone it is three and oh two Baltimore one we are on the top of the ninth of the last game of the World Series Dobson working quickly throws a strike on the outside on deck is Big Bob Robertson Dobson will have his work cut out for him in facing Clemente Robertson and possibly Sam Guillen to keep this ball game within reach the three one pitch from Pat Dobson bow to the screen three and two games one and two here at Memorial Stadium that we moved on to three Rivers Stadium and games three four and five it was the pirates yesterday and ten in Baltimore we're all tied at three games a piece and this is the decided Clemente waiting on the three two pitch from Pat Dobson here's the pitch he reaches outside protecting the plate and fouls it off to the right Roberto did not take a big swing simply put the bat on the outside of the plate and checked it off to the right side they played him around the right during the entire series he's moved the fifth on the home run to left center now here's another foul to the right Clemente can pull the ball and you know when we talk about the 1960 series the series it was one and seven games by the pirates on the home run he was not appeared in the series was the first man on the batting cage for the pirates today and he rifled five into the left field seats first five pitches three balls two strikes Dobson ready breaking pitch strikes out Clemente change up curve to Roberto Clemente and Dobson strikes him out he took three and one was swinging on three two then fouled off a couple of pitches and the slow curve got Roberto Clemente so unless we go to extra innings we'll fall one to the right so Bobby Richardson and Lou Brock right now the pirates though still lead by a run we're in the ninth inning here's Bob Robertson swinging and missing on the first pitch Robertson struck out the last time up he is over three first time up he had a ball sharply to Robertson the third base that's Bob Robertson hitting the books Rob Benson at third base Dobson ready and throws a breaking pitch and Bob Robertson just did get a little piece of that as he swung hard but it just two runs four hits one error for the pirates one run four hits no errors for the orders Dobson ahead of Robertson throws he may change up high it's one ball two strikes Robertson has a couple of homeruns and five RBI's in the world series one ball two strikes Kirk just misses inside all started out on Robertson's left shoulder and duck back inside but did not drop over the inside corner of the play he throws fastball misses outside now you talk about George Blanda the old quarterback at the National Football League twenty three years old the Pittsburgh runs today have been knocked in by thirty seven year old Roberto Clemente and thirty six years old Jose Bagan born and live in Puerto Rico three two and there's a drive down the left field line Buford pulled over loves it out on the warning track and holds Robertson to a long single down near the left field corner that's the fifth base hit for the pirates Robertson two out of the night two to one in the score and here's Manny Sanghian Robinson threw him out on a bad hopper off Brooks's chest in the second and he in single left it was dipped in the close force played the fifth and fly to Robinson in right in the seventh Hobson throws it's outside ball one big Willie Starter he is on deck Hobson ready throws a fastball catches the outside corner one ball one strike lights have been on throughout the entire ball game Hobson considerably here in Baltimore stops in pitching from the stretch to the crouching Sanghian who fouls it off upstairs to the right side on ball two strikes while Robertson walks back to the first base where's being held by Boone Cowell baseball is over after the day but not for the Orioles who on Wednesday will fly on to Tokyo to play about three or four weeks of exhibition games with those fine Japanese teams they'd like to go to Japan a winner at the moment down the short end of two to one game they're down by a run Jane down low there's two balls two strikes to Sanghian pirate boats and most all of them are up and leaning against the fence standing against the fence out there right center field Hobson taking his time and working very carefully to Sanghian now is ready throws a curve ball bounce Robertson charges from third base picks it up fires on the first base very slow roller and here on the Baltimore infield which has had to come all the way in for it was not like the artificial trip in Pittsburgh with the ball would have flipped out much quicker to it and so Earl Weaver is out with two out and Stardewal do up and I would imagine Dave McNally might get another call McNally the good left hander the base Stardewal the great left handed home run hitter Dobson is on his way out he came in yesterday in a situation very similar with two men on and two men on as they are today second and third rather first and second and walk Stardewal and Dave is being called on again Bill O'Donnell well it's very unusual Jim as we both pointed out yesterday together with Bob Princeton in the World Series game and naturally today today's even more crucial than yesterday is that you have two consecutive days you have three 20 game winners appearing of all game yesterday it was Palmer Dobson and McNally and this afternoon in game seven it is way up plus now Dobson in the ninth followed by McNally in the ninth inning a slightly different situation from McNally's appearance this afternoon than from yesterday McNally came on with Stardewal plus another left hand batter after Willie Stardewal Al Oliver also a left hand batter he comes on right now with Willie Stardewal the left hand batter with runners at first and second saying Gigan and Robertson and to follow Stardewal is a right hand batter Jose Pagana so you got managerial brains I'm here twisting in both the dugouts Weaver has been twisting his brain bringing on McNally to face the left hand power of Stardewal and I wonder if Murtzaw right now might be twisting his brain wondering that if Stardewal gets on if Stardewal gets on and should the bases be loaded what would he do with Pagana I would assume naturally to have Pagana bat because he'd have the right hander going against McNally by the same token with Weaver going back to the Baltimore dugout if Stardewal should get on and Pagana right hand batter do after Stardewal would he go to his bullpen where he has Eddie Watt warming and I believe Tom Duke has also joined Eddie Watt it is not Duke's that changed that it's Dave Leonard Leonard is up again warming with Watt all right Jim and if you want to go a little bit further that should happen with Murtzaw go back to the bench to Al Oliver and what happens now is Robertson's second base and Gigan at first two out of the ninth inning I actually did two to one and here's Willie Stard by Jose Bagan the first two times up Stardewal who hit 48 home runs during the regular season struck out broken through at the Morrill Stadium McNally throws ground ball toward the second baseman Johnson down to one knee throws on in a one pitch McNally's got it a run two hits no errors and two left and now we go to the ninth inning Lou Cowell Black Robinson and Murtzaw and the Orel's last chance Hitzburg leads Baltimore two to one we're down to the final inning in the seventh game of the 1971 World Series and Baltimore has the power of part of its effect coming up against right hander Steve Bland last and the player lead the Orel's by a score of two to one Cowell is Hitlis in his seventh game Frank Robinson is the next doonan he is Hitlis and then the third man doon Murt Bretton and he is also Hitlis if the Orel should lose this they can't see afterwards they didn't have a good chance to win the first inning they got the 3-4-5 batters last ready to throw to Big Boog Powell a slow curve drops over strike one so for three to day but as we said ripped a couple of vicious line fouls down the right field line back in the first inning now during the regular season at 22 home runs and Robinson during the regular season at 28 Murtz Bretman 11 now deep in the batter's box last throw is another big breaking pitch but this one is high and away and it's one ball two strikes breaking out there they're leaving it up to Steve Blase who won the third game five to one on a three hitter and leads two to one in the last of the ninth year on a four hitter one strike Big Curve drill foul pulled deep in the deep in right field mixed up some dirt and anger and throws it away was too far out in front of the ball two strikes the first two games the fire to the next three Baltimore yesterday and Tenonings and this is it last ready one ball two strikes in the ninth inning he has thrown in four breaking pitches three of them he has taken something off those breaking pitches Pirates two Orioles one last to the ninth counters two two to boot foul Steve Blase throws there's the fastball and it's got it on two hops to cash that second base throws on to Robertson and there's one out at the bottom of ninth Pirates are two outs away from their fourth World Series win but here is Frank Robinson all for three Robinson as we said handicapped but he is the man that sparked the winning run in the tenth yesterday he is the man that sparked the initial rally in the first game with a homerun and has two homeruns in the series and a total of seven hits and 24 attempts hops it up back goes Hernandez nobody else near him Hernandez and short left feeling of two outs and that leaves a squarely up to Merv Retman the Pirates now one out away from a clubhouse celebration the Orioles picked by most to win the World Series still are within a run swing of the basket tied up but Steve Blass has allowed a total of two runs and seven hits in seventeen and two-third innings breaking pit flatter over the gun is in a third base and very close to the line guarding against that extra base hit Hernandez is over near second base big hole between third and short one strike to Retman right up the middle Hernandez and back a second base throws from there and that's the series all these fans simply stand ugly by disappointed their Orioles the favorites have lost but the Pirate Bullpen empty they're in around Bob Robertson especially around Steve Blass and now they make their way toward the dugout as we hear that the World Series Sports Car Award winner goes to guess who Roberto Clementi who had all of those base hits found at all including a home run today well there's riotism down in the Pirate Wrestling Room it's already going on let's go down and join on that thank you and your players and Steve Blass and your whole club thank you Commissioner and I don't believe there's been a better play series than the since I've been around anyway I'm deeply grateful Andy Murtaugh let me step in here for just a moment 1960 you performed the impossible and you did it again congratulations here in 1971 thank you Bob Steve Blass who picked such a great game Steve nothing in here with Chairman of the Board Mr. John Gauber Steve I know you express yourself emotion wise you're all wrung out I don't know what to say this is the biggest show that could ever happen I don't believe it skinny kid from Paul's Village Connecticut well not so skinny out there you showed them
