Game Start: 2:05 PM
Weather: 62 deg. Partly Cloudy with a 10 MPH wind blowing in from left.
Frank Wiginton flies out to left. Rick Ferrell grounds out to 2nd. Rich Babbin walks on four pitches. Ernesto Gonzelez up. 3-1 count. Balk! And then Ball four, so all the arguing by Cincy's manager over the balk is moot. Masanori Ishii grounds out to 3rd.
Bottom of the 1st: Lee Kowalski flies out to right. Mike Graham grounds out to 2nd. Dave Broadwater lines a 1-2 pitch down the left field line for a double. Randy Casebolt grounds a hit to right and Broadwater scores. 1 to 0, Reds. Wil Carballo flies out to right.
Top of the 4th: Ernesto Gonzelez leads off with a walk and Masanori Ishii singles him to 3rd. Rich Doody flies out to center and Gonzelez tags up and heads home. Safe! Tie game: 1 to 1.
Top of the 6th: Ernesto Gonzelez leads off with a hit and with 2 outs, Fred Pariseau doubles him home! 2 to 1, Beavers! They issue an intentional walk to Jim Eighmy to get to the pitcher. Eighmy is 0 for his last 20... Billy Rueter grounds a hit up the middle and Pariseau scores!!! 3 to 1, Beavers! Love it! That sends P George Vaughn packing.
Bottom of the 6th: Randy Casebolt leads off and hit a 1-2 pitch over the wall in right center. 3 to 2, Beavers. Editor's Note: I wish I had a nickel for every 2-strike home run in OOTP!
Bottom of the 9th: Still 3 to 2, Beavers. On the Hill: RHP Ron Beckman, beginning his 2nd inning of work. Howard Robertson lines a hit to center. Dan Anderson flies out to center. SS Larry Davidson walks on four pitches. Call to the Bullpen: LHP Pedro Huerta. Lee Kowalski walks on four pitches. Pinch-hitter: RHB Casey Hensley. 0 for 7 on the season. Call to the Bullpen: RHP Greg Richey. The fella that gives up a hit to the first batter he faces every time.... But who else? Beckman and Huerta are the only two relievers I had any trust in at all and they let me down today.... LHP Steve Mulder has been good against lefties, but cannot get righties out to save his life. Full count. Hensley hits a fly ball to left and Robertson scores without a throw. Tie game at 3. 2 outs. Dave Broadwater up. I know.... He strikes out looking!!!
Extras!
And we have already used our whole bench except for our backup catcher who has not played in a major league game yet this year!
Top of the 10th: On the hill: Dave Butts, their sorry closer, who has mowed us down with ease this series, starting his 2nd inning of work. He gets the first two out and we let P Greg Richey hit and he singles! Frank Wiginton doubles! But then Rick Ferrell grounds out.
Bottom of the 10th: Randy Casebolt leads off with a double. With 2 outs, Howard Robertson singles to left..... ballgame.
