GAME 6 - Sunday, April 8th - Radio Broadcast

A hanging curve...
Hamilton laces it hard just
to the right of Nights
He makes a stab at it...
Just misses it!
It's on into the outfield for a single
A wide turn by Billy...
but he'll stay at first
as the ball comes in

Hamilton takes a three step lead
Another throw...
Nielsen's five throws over
have been effective
Hamilton has a small lead now
He must be getting tired
from diving back in!

The ball is low and outside
Did he go around?
The umpire says no
Ball four
For Kelly, that's 1 walk today

Curve, up high...
Delahanty rips it to right...
Nielsen hung that breaking ball
However, Ed got under it just a bit
Pflaggstettler started back on it
Now he's coming in...
He's under it and makes the easy catch
"Can of Corn"
And there's one away

A sinking fastball...
Swung right through it... STRIKE THREE
Two down

Hit in the air to left
Camped under it is Gunner
And he has it
And that will do it for Old Timers

Sinking fastball...
Blade swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Davis...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
One gone for FOFC in the bottom of the 1st

Tucker tries to hold up, but can't
He pops one into short right
Thompson is coming in hard...
Kelly is racing with his
back to the infield
And neither is going to get it!
Tucker is on with the "excuse me" single!

Tucker sneaks away from the base
Radbourn fires trying to
pick the runner...
Tucker scurries back quickly...
He just avoided the tag!
He should have dove back...
He almost got caught
I'm sure Joe Adcock will chat with him
It's something a good first
base coach does

That's ball four
Nights will trot down to first
Tucker is now down on second

Base hit to left for Pflaggstettler
Dick Howser is giving the green light...
The throw is coming home...
Aggressive baserunning by FOFC...
Not cut-off...
Tucker scores!
Trailing runners advance.

Just outside with a fastball
Radbourn is visibly upset...
Ewing is quickly out to calm him down
Kelly comes over as well
Nights on third, Pflaggstettler
on second and Fouts on first
They'll be loaded up for David Gonzalez

The batter checks his swing
Here's the appeal
Gonzalez swung, that's strike three
Gonzalez isn't happy at all with that call
Radbourn needs one more out
to get out of this jam

Drilled on the ground to short
Taken by Davis
Tosses to second
He's out
Score It: 6-4
The runner on first, Fouts, is out
That wraps up the inning for FOFC
So After 1 inning
FOFC has one run, 2 hits and no errors
While Old Timers has no runs,
one hit and no errors
FOFC has left 3 stranded
Old Timers has failed to bring home 2

Kelly takes the pitch...
That one is low for a ball... WAIT
The umpire says that one caught the knees
Kelly is out on strikes
One up, one down

It's a quail shot headed
towards the outfield
Blade takes off after it...
Leaps...
And Davis is OUT!
Very impressive range shown on that play!
Barrett is very fine fielder!
Two down
Nielsen retires the first
two Old Timers batters

There's a roller down at Fouts
He's in front of it...
It rolls right between the wickets!
Error on Dan Fouts as he didn't
get his glove down
Maybe a bit too easy for him

Changeup...
Ties Radbourn up in knots
An awkward swinging strike three!
Nielsen shuts down Old Timers
here in the top of the 2nd
So FOFC still with the lead
as we go to a commercial break

There's a high pop in front of the plate
Looks like the ball is drifting foul
Ewing calls for it
and makes the play
As the ump signals a foul ball
One gone for FOFC

Ground ball through the middle
Davis ranges behind second
Nice pick up...
Twists and fires it
OUT!
Two down
Old Hoss Radbourn retires
the first two batters in a row

Lifted in the air, back this way
The catcher, Ewing, will
take it for the out
That's the third out of the inning
Three up, three down
It's 1-0, FOFC

The batter checks his swing
Here's the appeal
Hamilton swung, that's strike three
Hamilton isn't happy at all with that call
That's one away

Sharp breaking curveball...
Kelly reaches for it...
Hits a two bouncer right to Nights...
Grabs it easily...
Fires a bullet to Gonzalez at first!
Kelly is out easily
Two down
Rob Nielsen retires
the first two batters in order

He rips a grounder to first
Nielsen takes the flip from Gonzalez
Score It: 3-1
That does it for Old Timers
in the top of the 3rd

It's a dying quail headed
towards the outfield
OHHHHH, snagged by a retreating
Anson for the out
Outstanding range shown on that play!
One up, one down for FOFC

Swung on and hit sharply to short
Davis plays it on one hop
Over to Anson...
Out of there!
Two gone for FOFC

Change-up, Pflaggstettler
is looking for it...
He smacks a deep fly to left-center...
Hamilton racing back...
At the warning track...
Waits...
Leaps...
Off the fence!
Hamilton chases it down
Firing a strong throw back in
They'll never get Pflaggstettler
The slide...
In there!
It's a double for Persimmon Pflaggstettler

A slider by Radbourn
Fouts gets good wood on it...
Hamilton back-pedals quickly...
Up with his glove...
Out!
That's all for the All Stars
No runs, one hit, no errors and
one man left on base...
We've played three, here...
FOFC on top 1 to 0

Hard slider, paints the inside corner
Thompson gets a piece of it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Gonzalez grabs it...
Races to first...
Beats Thompson for the out
One out
Due up next is Cap Anson

Slow ground ball
Blade is charging it
He fires it to first
He's OUT
One more chance for Old Timers
in the top of the 4th

In the air to right
Man it is really hit...
The only question is whether
it will stay fair
It's...
Gone! Kelly has just tied
the game at 1 a piece!
Kelly gets number 2 in 1900

There's a cue shot off the
end of the bat by Davis
Blade makes the routine catch
of the soft liner
That retires the side
The Ancients score 1 run in the inning
After 3 and a half innings,
The score is tied at 1

Hit right back to Radbourn
On to first and Gonzalez is gone
One down for FOFC
Harry Hays is still in the on-deck circle
and Stan Gunner is looking
for a bat in the dugout

Hays hits a screamer at George Davis
Davis picks it up and fires to first
The throw pulls Anson off the bag
Anson swipes with the glove

Hays is out!
Nice play by Anson
One more chance for FOFC this inning

A hot shot on the ground to Kelly
He's got it cleanly on one hop...
Over to first and Gunner is out
1-2-3, nothing across...

Ewing fights one off his fists
It's lined weakly to the left of short
Nights is over quickly
Easy out
One away...
Gonzalez is coming over to the mound...
He wants to chat with the pitcher...
Here comes Fouts also...
Now they return to their positions

Curveball in the dirt
Swung on and missed...Strike three
Hays fumbles it,
but quickly recovers to tag Radbourn
Two up, two down

It's a routine fly into right
Pflaggstettler ranges over and reaches up
This should do it...
And Pflaggstettler grabs it for the out
That does it for Old Timers
in the top of the 5th
The ground crew, headed up by John Deere,
is coming out to smooth the infield dirt
The fans get a kick out of them
as they sometimes put down their rakes
and do a little "dance" to the music

Nielsen cuts on a curve that
misses in the dirt
That ball is trapped nicely by Ewing
Nielsen was badly fooled by Radbourn's
big breaking curve
STRIKE THREE!
Rob was a little overanxious
One down for FOFC
Barrett Blade is in the on-deck circle
ready to make his way to
the plate for FOFC

Hard ground ball to third
Taken by Kelly
His throw to first
GOT HIM!
Score It: 5-3
We're all tied up at 1 with
two away this inning

Good slider, inside part of the plate
Tucker gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Kelly grabs it...
Throws to first...
OUT!
That does it for the All Stars
So at the end of five complete
it is all knotted up at 1

There's a fly ball to Stan Gunner
Gunner circles under it...
He makes the play
One down, nobody on
Game tied

Strike three swinging...
Now that is something you
don't see very often
Delahanty rarely ever strikes out
But Nielsen got him that time!
Two up, two down for Old Timers

High heater from Nielsen...
Thompson cuts at it...
Hits a bouncer right side...
It goes by the diving Blade and Gonzalez
It's into right for a single
Thompson takes his turn and holds at first

He rips a grounder to short
Nights comes up with it
His throw to first
GOT HIM!
Score It: 6-3
No runs for Old Timers in
the top of the 6th
We're all tied up at 1
We'll be right back

Fly ball to right
Thompson is under it
He makes the grab
So one up and one gone

Shallow fly ball
Thompson charging
HE DIVES...
HE CAN'T GET IT!
Pflaggstettler stops at first
That's a single

It bounces in front of the
plate and gets by Ewing
Pflaggstettler moves up 90
feet on the wild pitch

Curveball, in and low
Fouts hits it to Anson at first
Takes it cleanly...
Races to the bag...
It's going to be close...
And...
Out is the call
That could have gone either way
Pflaggstettler is now perched
over at third
We're all tied up at 1 with two away
Let's check some other scores as well

AL Pre WWII is edging Japanese
League 3 to 2
Grove and Inao currently dueling

Radbourn breathes a sigh of relief
That'll do it for FOFC
So we're still tied
After 6 innings
FOFC has one run, 4 hits and one error
While Old Timers has one run,
3 hits and no errors

Kelly pounds a grounder toward
Nights at short

Over to first and Kelly is retired
Nice play by the FOFC short stop
One away in the top of the
7th for Old Timers

Nielsen comes up with it
His throw to first
GOT HIM!
Score It: 1-3
That's two away

And that will do it for Old Timers

It's time for the 7th inning stretch!

Smashed to short
Davis grabs it
Over to first
In time!
Score It: 6-3
One away
While we wait for the next batter
Let's take a ten second station break
This is your Strat-O-Matic
Broadcast System
Your four sports network!

Stan Gunner offers at the curveball,
but checks his swing
Oh, Gunner couldn't get the
bat out of the way
It's a soft line drive to George
Kelly for the out
Gunner never even left the batter's box
Two away

Nielsen hits a three hopper
towards George Kelly
Kelly scoops it and fires
it to first for the out
That is the third out for FOFC here
in the last of the seventh
The attendance has just been
announced at 47454

Grounded towards third
Fouts scoops it
LONG THROW...
HE'S OUT!
With one down, up next is Billy Hamilton
To be followed by King Kelly

It's bunted down the third base line
Fouts streaks in
Scoops it over to first
in one swift motion
OUT!
Great play!

Kelly takes the pitch
STRIKE THREE, is the call
Kelly can't believe it and says
something to the ump
Chalk up a whiff for Nielsen
Nielsen sets the Ancients down in order

Sinker, down at the knees...
Swung on...
Blade hits a Baltimore chop...
Past the infield into center for a single!
That was a difficult ball to handle

Tucker squares to bunt
It's dribbled down the third base line
Kelly bare hands it...
Sidearm toss to first
Just in time!
Nice play
Credit A. J. Tucker with a sacrifice
Radbourn has the first out
in the bottom of the 8th
Ewing trots out to the mound
Says a few words to Old Hoss...
With the runner on second...
Probably making sure of the signs

Routine fly to center
Hamilton starts in
Now he starts backpedaling...
Faster...
Just does catch up to it!

Not cut-off...
Billy Hamilton throws the

He is under it now...
And makes the easy catch...
That retires the side
The All Stars score 1 run in the inning
After 8 innings, FOFC leads 2 to 1

Off speed pitch on the way...
And Delahanty watches it go
by for the third strike
FOFC gets the first out of the inning

Over the outside corner
Thompson hits the curve right to second...
Blade takes it on the second hop
Fires to 1st...
Thompson is out by a couple of steps
Two gone for Old Timers
Time is running out for them

Knowles misses low on that one
Anson draws the walk
Number 1 today by Knowles

Anson takes a walking lead
Knowles looks the runner back

Frank Selee will send in a pinch
runner for Cap Anson
John Ward is trotting out to first base

Ward yells something to Knowles
It sounded like a challenge from here
I wouldn't be surprised...
Ward is great on the bases
He wants to unnerve Sammy
No doubt he does!
The runner unable to take a big lead
Knowles keeps looking him back

Kelly gets good wood on it!
Right at Jeff Nights...
He leaps up high...
It's past him!
Ward had to wait on that
to see if it would be caught
He'll have to stop at second
on that wicked line single by Kelly

Davis hits a sharp grounder
to Jeeberoni Potpie
It rolls up his arm
Potpie can't find the handle
Davis is safe on the error by Potpie

Grounded towards the hole
Fielded nicely by Fouts
THE LONG THROW . . .
HE GOT HIM!!!
Score It: 5-3
And that will do it for Old Timers
FOFC wins 2 to 1
Nielsen gets credit for the win
Knowles notches the save
Radbourn takes the loss
The hitting star for FOFC
was Persimmon Pflaggstettler
He was 4 for 4
And that wraps things up
So long from FOFC.
