on the right side
Morgan ranging to his left...
Scoops it up...

And Blade is out by a step at first
That's all she wrote
A three up, three down inning
So After 4 and a half innings
NL Post WWII on top, 1-0

Slider, over the inside corner...
Lashed hard out into center
It's in for a base hit...
Tucker quickly racing over...
Fields it smoothly, fires it
in behind the runner...
Banks dives back into the bag...
SAFE!!
Credit Banks with a single

Campanella just gets a piece of it
He 'nubs' it to second
Blade races in quickly...
Barehands it...
Over to first
Just in time!
The runner moves up easily...

Struck him out on a terrible pitch
That was right over the
heart of the plate
with no movement on it...
and Marichal swung right
over the top of it!
Lucky Mr. Mighty!
Two away now for NL Post WWII
They're ahead by 1
The Post-Nationals have 3
hits on the afternoon

Morgan jack-knifes out of the way
But it's in there!
Morgan was really fooled
on that strike three
That retires the side...
Morgan fails to come through in the clutch
For NL Post WWII, No runs, one hit, no

the first two batters in a row

Curve ball...
Aaron swings and misses by a mile
The bottom dropped out of that one!
A wicked pitch!
That's all for the Post-Nationals
After 6 full innings,
they lead by 1

Fastball, STRIKE THREE!
Hays was frozen on that
fastball by Marichal
High and on the inside corner
He was looking for an off-speed pitch
So Hays is set down
And that's 7 for Marichal today
And there's one away

There's a fly ball to Willie Mays
Mays circles under it...
He makes the play
That's two down for Marichal
FOFC will need to do better than that
They are running out of time

Here's a curve...
Not a good one!
Palmer turns on it a BIG WAY...
Forget it, that one is long
gone... a home run!
Number 10 for Deacon on the year
He also has 53 RBI's now

Nights lines one just to
the right of Musial
It's past him into right field!
Clemente hustles over
and fires it back into second
So Nights is on with a
line single to right

Nights inches slowly away from the bag
Marichal looks the runner back

He rips a grounder to second
Morgan grabs it
Over to Musial
Got him!
Score It: 4-3
That does it in the top of the 7th
Now a brief message from our hosts
This is the Strat-O-Matic Broadcast System
We are pleased you joined
us for today's ballgame
Now back to baseball where
After 6 and a half innings,
We're all tied up at 1

It's time for the 7th inning stretch!

Right down the middle... strike three
Musial must have been looking
for something else
He just froze on that pitch
NL Post WWII with one away
Rodney steps off the mound as
he waits for Mike Schmidt to
come to the plate

Schmidt pulls one into left field
Hooking away from Gunner
Stan is there
He's got it for the out
That's two away

A hot shot on the ground to Nights
He's got it cleanly on one hop...
Over to first and Banks is out
That is the third out for
NL Post WWII here
in the last of the seventh
The attendance has just been
announced at 45344

Slider, down at the knees...
Blade swings and lifts one deep to right
This one has a chance...
Clemente is at the warning track...
Bye, Bye Baby!!...
Number 4 on the year for Barrett Blade

Swung on and foul tipped
Campanella hangs on to it
Strike out for Marichal
Number 8 on the day
With one gone
FOFC will have Persimmon Pflaggstettler
coming up
A dangerous hitter, no doubt about it

Ground ball through the middle
Banks ranges behind second
Nice pick up...
Twists and fires it
OUT!
That's two gone for FOFC here
in the top of the 8th
Let's take ten seconds for
station identification
This is the Strat-O-Matic Broadcast System
Your four sports network...

Fastball... down and away...
NO! It's called a strike
And Potpie is outta there
That's it for FOFC
Here at Big League Field, After
7 and a half innings,
FOFC has 2 runs, 6 hits and one error
While NL Post WWII has one run,
3 hits and no errors
FOFC has left 5 on base
NL Post WWII has stranded 3

The batter checks his swing
Here's the appeal
Campanella swung, that's strike three
Campanella isn't happy at
all with that call
FOFC gets the first out
here late in this contest

Up for the Post-Nationals will
be Eddie Mathews...
He'll pinch hit for Juan Marichal
Joe Morgan is due to follow

Mathews dribbles a roller to Jeff Nights
Nights comes up with it and throws
It's in the dirt
Potpie can't come up with it
That'll be a throwing error on Nights
That's error number 2 of the game for FOFC

Time is called by NL Post WWII
Here comes Lou Brock out of the dugout
He is heading toward first base
And Eddie Mathews starts off the diamond
Tommy Lasorda wants more
speed on the bases

Brock takes his lead
The runner can't seem to get a good lead

Good slider, inside part of the plate
Morgan gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Blade grabs it...
To second for one
Over to first...
OUT!
Smooth "DP" by FOFC
Three away in the bottom of the 8th
FOFC leads 2 to 1
Let's see how NL Post WWII
is doing of late...
Well, NL Post WWII is 7 and
3 in their last ten games
Phil Niekro will be coming on
to pitch for NL Post WWII
Phil has appeared in 64 games this season
He has a record of 10-4
in 99 innings
His ERA stands at 4.08

Letterhigh, hard slider...
Swung on...
It's a line drive belted toward Banks
It's by him...
Aaron comes in...
Plays it off his chest
Recovers quickly, throwing into second
Good defensive recovery
Keeping Hays to a single

The runner is off with the pitch
Hit and run!
Smashed to second
Taken by Morgan
Throw to second for one
They might turn it . . .
Double Play!
Score It: 4-6-3
Two men gone, nobody on
FOFC leads by 1

There's a towering fly ball hit by Palmer
Mays sprints over, and makes the catch
Three down for FOFC
Still a 1 run deficit for NL Post WWII
Let me point out that
coming in to today's game
FOFC is 33 and 18 in one run games
NL Post WWII has a 27 and 24 record
in these tight contests

Sammy Knowles in to pitch...
Hanging curve...
Swung on...
Clemente turned that one
around in a BIG WAY...
Forget it, that one is long
gone... a home run
Tucker didn't even move
That ties it up...

Willie Mays steps to the plate
Letterhigh fastball...
The ball game is over
That had to carry at least 420 feet
NL Post WWII wins 3 to 2
And just like that the FOFCers
potential 2.5 game lead with 4
games to play is gone, and they sit
on just a half game cushion.
This was a crushing blow for the
All-Stars and Sammy Knowles.

Niekro gets credit for the win
Knowles takes the loss
The hitting star for NL Post WWII
was Roberto Clemente
He was 1 for 4 with a homerun
And that wraps things up
So long from NL Post WWII.
