and Banks holds up

It is a high hard one...
Bench goes on a fishin' trip
Strike three swinging!
That one sailed up out of the strike zone
but Bench couldn't hold back
Two gone here in the bottom of the 9th
We want to welcome the "Strat Fan
Hall of Fame Club"
to the game tonight
We hope you enjoy your
trip to the ballpark

He's off to the races!
Hays comes up firing...
Nights applies the tag...
Brock is safe!...
Nights can't handle the throw cleanly

Defensive manager has decided to
pitch around Billy Williams
Williams fights one off at the wrists
He muscles it to center
Tucker moves in quickly
He slides on the moist grass!
He clutches it while flat on his back!
And that will do it for NL Post WWII
FOFC wins 2 to 1
Babson gets credit for the win
Knowles notches the save
Perry takes the loss
The hitting star for FOFC
was Deacon Palmer
He was 2 for 4 with a homerun
And that wraps things up
So long from NL Post WWII.
