Hanging curveball...
Pflaggstettler times it, swings...
There's a high drive...
Crunched deep towards right center...
Jackson doesn't have a chance
Home Run for Pflaggstettler
That was way over the fence

The catcher, Harry Hays
will be up next for FOFC
Harry is batting .329 with
6 home runs on the season
He is 0 for 3 today
Hays is ready
Wilhelm brings it to the plate
Hays pounds a grounder toward
Yount at short
Robin moves in front of it...
Whoops... a bad bounce
But Yount stayed with it
Over to first and Hays is retired
Nice play by the AL Post WWII short stop
One away in the bottom of the 8th for FOFC

And it brings up Dan Fouts
On deck is Barrett Blade
Bo Knowles in the hole
Fouts is 1 for 3 today
Dan lined out last time up
Fouts looks very intent...
He stares down at Wilhelm...
Cocks his bat
It's coming down the pike
Lined hard to second
Carew snares it for the out!
Score It: 4
Two away

Barrett Blade will get a
crack at Wilhelm next
Bo Knowles would be up next...
But only if Blade can reach safely
Blade swinging from the right side
facing the righty Wilhelm
Time is called...
Don't know what for...

Now we appear ready
Wilhelm brings it to the plate
Off-speed pitch...
Blade swings at it...
its a high fly to deep center
Mantle bolting after it...
This one might carry all the way
Mantle jumps for it...
It bounds off the fence
Blade cruises into second
as the throw comes in
It's a two-bagger for Barrett Blade

That'll bring up David Gonzalez
A. J. Tucker will follow if
Gonzalez gets aboard
Berra is rubbing his thumb
He hurt it two or three days ago
And it still bothers him...
Some of Wilhelm's pitches really
cause him to wince
But he wants to play through it
Gonzalez steps into the box
A base hit should score Blade
The right-hander Wilhelm is set
to deliver to Gonzalez
The righthander Wilhelm delivers
Smashed to second
Carew comes up with it
Over to first
In time!
Score It: 4-3
So AL Post WWII will get one last
chance to overtake FOFC
Right now the All Stars are up
by a count of 5 to 0
You can't argue with the
logic of Benton Breeze
He said in our pre-game show that
if FOFC shut them out there was
no way they could lose
Sounds reasonable...

The AL Post WWII left fielder, Williams,
will lead off
He'll be followed by Harmon Killebrew
And then Reggie Jackson
Williams scuffs up the
lines around the box
Knowles has the sign he wants
Here's his delivery
Swung on and hit sharply to second
Blade plays it on one hop
Over to Potpie...
Out of there!
AL Post WWII with one away
Knowles steps off the mound as
he waits for Harmon Killebrew to
come to the plate

Harmon Killebrew is up next
for AL Post WWII
One out, top of the 9th
FOFC on top 5 to 0
Reggie Jackson is on deck
Killebrew a righty in the batter's box
facing the righthanded Knowles
Knowles is walking around the mound
While we wait, let me mention
He is 1st in saves this year
He has 12...

Now Sammy is ready...
Knowles' righthanded delivery...
Curve in the dirt... and
Killebrew holds up
Looked like he went around from here
But the plate umpire says no
Hays asks the first base ump's opinion
He says Killebrew went around
Strike three, swinging
That's two away

Reggie Jackson will step in
to face Knowles next
If he gets on, Robin Yount will follow
Jackson can't seem to get
settled at the plate
Jackson cocks his bat
Knowles is into his windup
Here's the pitch
Jackson hits a screamer at Barrett Blade
Blade picks it up and fires to first
The throw pulls Potpie off the bag
Potpie swipes with the glove

Jackson is out!
Nice play by Potpie
And that will do it for AL Post WWII
FOFC wins 5 to 0
Newhouser takes the loss
The hitting star for FOFC
was Persimmon Pflaggstettler
He was 3 for 4 with a homerun
He also knocked in 3 runs
And that wraps things up
So long from FOFC.
