in the on-deck circle
and Jeeberoni Potpie is looking
for a bat in the dugout
Pflaggstettler watches a roundhouse
curve all the way in
Strike Three called!
That one started out right at Persimmon,
In fact, he started to bend back

Third base coach Dick Howser
tells him to keep a-comin'

With that putout
Gibson only needs one more out
to get out of this inning

And Pflaggstettler got
a little piece of it
But Campanella held on to
the tip, strike three

He is under it now...
And makes the easy catch...
