Game Start: 7:05 PM
Weather: 71 deg. Clear Skies with a 9 MPH wind blowing in from right.

Ivan Lopez grounds out to 1st, 3-1. Rich Babbin pops out to short. Frank Wiginton grounds a hit up the middle. Lebron Williams lines a hit to left center and Wiginton goes to 3rd. Full count to Joe Hartin. With Williams off with the pitch, Hartin lines a hit to left, scoring Wiginton and Williams easily makes it to 3rd! 1 to 0, Beavers! Eric McCornack grounds out to 1st.

Bottom of the 1st: Hilton Waggoner grounds out to short. Marv Helton flies out to deep center. Eddie Jasper lines a hit to center. Dick Hedrick flies out to center.

Bottom of the 7th: Still 1 to 0, Beavers. With 1 out, Jim Cooke reaches on an error by SS Ivan Lopez. Pinch-hitter: LHB Steve Sacks. He singles to right and Cooke easily goes to 3rd. We never want to pull a pitcher throwing a shutout, but Tony Ricketts says that he is gassed so we make the Call to the Bullpen: RHP Ron Beckman. Hilton Waggoner strikes out! 2 down. Marv Helton walks to load the bases. Eddie Jasper strikes out!

Bottom of the 9th: New Pitcher: LHP Jim Ackley. Pinch-hitter: RHB Kim Moeller. He lines out to short. Jim Cooke grounds one to 2nd and Rick Ferrell boots it. E-4. 1B Ron Yarnell. They made a double switch before and too Marv Helton out of the game. Thanks! Yarnell swings at a 3-0 pitch and flies out to left. Thanks! Full count to Hilton Waggoner and he swings and misses! And THIS Ballgame Belongs to the Beavers!
