Bottom of the Sixth
Buddy Hendricks draws a walk. Pia, you will get a raise for next season! If the budget can hold it, of course....... That does it for P Ken Fall. New Pitcher: Need I tell? Bob Carroll (32-R) pitching in his 5th game of the series. He has been the first pitcher out of their Bullpen in every game, except in Game 5, when no pitcher came out of their Bullpen. We have 1 run in 5.1 IP off of him. PH Fernando Tello (25-L) takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4! Tom Walker grounds into a 5-4-3 double play and Hendricks goes to 3rd............................................... ... P Carroll is a fly ball pitcher and Walker is a fly ball hitter......

Bottom of the Eighth
New Pitcher: Jim Gibson (35-R), in his third game of the series. He has given us 2 runs in 3.2 IP. PH Bob Hutson (25-L) What? I thought we did not like changing catchers when a pitcher is throwing a shutout! That is true, but P Al Calice is at 124 pitches and will not pitch the 9th...... Hutson walks on 4 pitches! PH Tony Carini (23-L) lines out to 2nd and they double Hutson off at 1st........................ How can you manage to only have 2 hits, but still manage to hit into 3 double plays? Dunno, but we have done it....... Buddy Hendricks flies out to deep right.
