1983-08-10 Giants at Braves

the strength without Murph at third two down curved line baseship the Braves win with a base open they pitched the Benedict that's his 29th RBI of the year and McMurtry bats with a runner at first and to up pitch is outside and Benedict pulls this one normally goes to right field with it I'm with you skip but I hope this doesn't sound like second guessing Benedict is too good a hitter to take a chance that's a run with a base hit and McMurtry can't hit it all oh and one the count well we first guessed that one I think in that Eddy when you do that if he tries to lay one down in it and beat it out he has great speed he does wishes he hadn't oh and 2 the count to one Atlanta and the inning is over they'll have to tag it and they do second strikeout for branding but the Braves score two on just one hit there were no errors a runner left and after to use core bridge two Giants one [Applause] [Music] people who have to watch the news and other networks don't always get to watch cable news network always get to watch the news because cable news network is always on its news maker interviews investigative reports unusual features and of course news turn on CNN throughout the day and you'll never miss the news again next on the Catlins can Annabelle pull the family together I wanna have a send-off party in your and Lauren or will Bo's marriage split it apart and as Chrissie found herself a new man you're the Fuller Brush man I'll take cakes don't miss the Catlins tonight at 11:35 Eastern 8:35 Pacific time on superstation WTBS Thursday of a CBS morning movie the discovery of her scandalous past points to the shocking truth about mrs.

will stop at nothing to win the war of the Wildcats the TBS daytime movies only on superstation WTBS picture Fred brining will they dance the third inning for the Giants an interesting deal made today after that Yankee trade they sent in a waiver deals and very mumphrey to Houston and in return got the much troubled Omar Moreno from the Astros brining leads an unfair hitting at 149 with a couple of RBIs and a double breaking ball outside one ball no strikes Tuesday night when San Diego is here they're having me year anniversary of Pasquale Perez's trip around the perimeter and a great poster will be given away to all the fans maybe we can get a shot of it as we go along here tonight that poster is really outstanding this two and one the count de branding by the way that is a five o'clock game they changed the time of that a lot but they're gonna play five o'clock on Tuesday 3 & 1 the count you don't want to walk this guy but you do a little bit high and pitcher is led off the inning with a walk that normally bodes ill the first walk of the night for Big Mac and Daniel omastar the battery single dissenter his first time was out stealing Benedict his gun down to tonight the Braves play Lemaster length a Giants played Watson on the infield a cheap toward the bag at second he took a shot at right field came up empty oh and one the count there's that alignment goodbye McMurtry has one clay and one play only Royster covers the sacrifice is in effect so the one for sacrifice moves brining down to second with one away and Jack Clark the banner checker Darrell Evans the better Jack Clark will bat after he doe Evans single dissenter was out stealing his first act Darrel with 22 homers 57 RBI like Murphy he got off to a great start power wise and then as really tailed off but he's dangerous down and in one ball no strikes good cut home run swing but he didn't get the slider in the count evens 1 & 1 downstairs 2 & 1 the count pitcher Fred brining at second one away and account evens on their 11s two balls two strikes what reports have you from Hawks headquarters anything going on in that California League I think they're all having a very good time out there well that's good now they like Randy Wittman very much because good player is their number one draft choice out of the University of Indiana the 2 2 pitch he's run at full now 3 & 2 on Evans another dangerous hitter Jack Clark is next you see 41 Hawk telecasts in the winter ahead right here on W TBS nowhere near so control which heart brining and the bottom of the second is not doing any good for McMurtry on the top of the third here's part no the Omar Moreno Jerry mumphrey deal you mentioned Moreno is very there's Pascual Perez getting his throwing in Moreno is very annoyed that he's been benched against lefties but he's been hitting about 160 170 against lefties which which seemed to indicate that bobble is Willis should match up against Lefty so he signed with them of his own free will he was a free agent got an awful lot of money for it now he's going to the Bronx Zoo yes sir two on one out Clark weights that's high hate to see his pitches missing the strike zone up right off the end of the bat on the count evens one and one I think Moreno is probably a better defensive centerfielder but pump he's pretty good hitter Bob Gibson going out the mound now to talk to McMurtry they got so many out feeling the Yankees to do it campaign mailer I guess they need some Laveau to run the ball down you know Houston will have a pretty good hitting ballclub they were pretty good hitting ballclub now and with mumphrey to bat up on top of the lineup and get on base might score a lot of runs yeah gotta like that deal if you're a Houston fan I would guess yes I would one on one the count to Clark runners aboard at first and second one out right on the corner that's the best fastball he's thrown 1 & 2 the count the one-two pitch popped foul back into the booth next door where Dave glass and Hank Greenwald are holding fourth count stays a ball and two strikes and Braves photographer Walter Victor comes up with a baseball [Music] and returns it to the crowd the pitch little squib file off the end of the banner good breaking ball and the count stays a ball and two strikes the Cubbies and Cardinals through 12 tied five five and the one-two pitch got him with an off-speed curveball first strikeout of the night for McMurtry that's a very good spot for it and Jeff Leonard will hit Mac takes a little bit off and Clark way out ahead what that ball we really went down that's good pitch by McMurtry now he has to get Jeff Leonard who flied to left his first time Brandin still waiting at second Evans at first there are two out in the inning little tap to the mind and they pinched out of it good job by McMurtry [Applause] at the end of two and a half your score Braves two giants one oh nice meeting you big guy the Redman reaction satisfaction the four-wheel drive decathlon 10 reasons Toyota is the best-selling import 4x4 in America this Toyota takes on Hills trails streams and mud holes it clears rocks it takes on deserts and beaches it's built to work and play this Toyota is a champion at doing it right [Music] do you know what people want from an airline today low fares at Eastern we invite you to compare our fares to those of any other airline but as much as we want your business we're not going to cut corners to get it not in service not maintenance I done and certainly not in the quality of the people who flying our planes so the next time you travel make sure the airline you fly is as good as its fares by Eastern [Music] if you're a Red Cross blood donor I'd like to say thanks you saved my life help save a life donate blood and bring a friend donate blood together every night CNN is the one to turn to for a half hour filled with sports news interviews and game highlights watch sports tonight 11 o'clock Eastern only on the cable news network Brett Butler will lead on say Atlanta half of the third inning it will be butler ramirez in washington the top three in the order for a meta fans here from the Oconee equipment database they do [Applause] Butler popped out his first time they're here from Glen Burnie Maryland Thibodaux Louisiana Thibodeau I don't know the kinds of Butler there's a strength without let-up fans here from Evansville Indiana as well pulling for the Braves a ball and a strike the count popped it up foul territory and it will make the seats Rambin O'Malley both hustled over there but the ball was out of play 1 & 2 the count to Brett Butler Rafael Ramirez waits to hit next Braves lead it 2-1 in the third [Applause] Butler again stands in that's hideaway 2 & 2 the count just missed outside Butler looked back at brocklander he wasn't sure himself whether or not the guillotine was about to fall on him and a payoff pitch to the Atlanta leadoff man that's out of play and it's still three and two through eight now Seattle leads Oakland seven five for this time of the year the Cubs and Cardinals don't need 13 innings their pitching staffs have pretty well battered up as it is they want him just misbranding wanted it but he got the call from fred brocklander that's his third walk one of both of his first two came around to score fill the Cardinals have lost eight straight most of them at home and they lost their fine second baseman Tommy Herr for the year I think he's gonna have a knee operation he was sitting about 320 he's good player Ramirez flied to left his first time hit the ball pretty well Butler faked the start strike called oh and one the count Braves trying to get a few more here they lead it 2-1 in the third and every game you win just puts a little added pressure on second place Los Angeles fairly close play at first but Bret got back all right again it's close again he's back Darryl Perry of the Braves have on their roster tonight for Chambliss was hitting 314 and 113 games at Richmond 13 homers 71 RBIs 21 doubles eight triples 26 stolen bases he'd scored 81 runs he was putting together a fine year Butler's scampers back again Hot Shot but right at the second basemen they should turn it over there's one there's two Rafi hit it hard but right at the second baseman Joel Youngblood who started the 4-6-3 double play it is the 74th by the Giants this year they've hit into 111 once Youngblood makes a stop it's pretty routine play that's where Joe wishes he had sent the runner that ball would have been right through and into centerfield and that is a second-guess that's after the fact Washington struck out his first time [Music] he's seen four pitches to this point and they've all been strengths make that five and the o2 pitch to the Atlanta right fielder is forthcoming little tap Brandon gets over to cover the throw by Evans is in time and the inning is over so nothing going for Atlanta in the third they go 1-2-3 and after three complete the Braves lead the Giants 2 to 1 when you're trying to get up a hill and you've got 10 tons of steel staring you in the face that's when you really need golf super unleaded the gas with guts the unleaded gasoline with the extra octane you need to help make sure you can pass climb and accelerate go super unleaded the gus-gus I always try to do the best I can for my family and that includes using a pain reliever I can really trust for many years we've taken Tylenol I discovered tylenol in the hospital when I had my second child it worked then and I've used it ever since turns out tylenol is the pain reliever hospitals use most and that's been sold for more than ten years well if hospitals trust tylenol that confirms my own trust for relief you can trust trust tylenol hospitals do tylenol safety sealed for your protection jell-o pudding pops frozen pudding on a stick you know all the finest castles serve jell-o pudding pops it's a snack working because it's rich and creamy and mom will throw you into the old dungeon when you eat it because she knows it's made with real pudding jello bran pudding pops all the goodness of real jell-o pudding so you know it's wholesome a veritable feast for the tummy well we've completed three innings here and logic dictates that we move next to the top of the fourth get those people straightened away and now with the play-by-play story here's John sterling Ray's lady - I will be chili Davis Joel Youngblood and Tom O'Malley here in the fourth right on the outside corner skip mentioned Davis was sent back you see a graphic right there since he came back from Phoenix during the all-star break he's been hitting 290 is very disappointed as good curveball too low at Davis and O'Malley they had had a good year under their belt last year and they did not progress this season they're both young that's a tough part when do you give up on a guy giants have made that mistake with a lot of young outfielders wearing a foster wow that was the worst the other ass hit down the left-field line Butler on the run it's a long strike two and two one thing in the Toronto Yankee game last night they mentioned about Lloyd Mosby in Toronto because when you're a bad ball club you can do that and they just stayed with Mosby for three years now Mosby and Willie Upshaw guys like that are becoming good major-league players on the run Murphy makes the caption as one [Applause] here's Joel Youngblood is accounted for the Giants run a home run just over the left-field screen Youngblood has had a tremendous year against the Braves he's hitting about 325 against Atlanta and has three of his 10 home runs against the Braves there's a base it by Youngblood again Youngblood and Joe Torre did not get along super in New York when Joe is managing the Mets and I guess Youngblood is rising to the occasion against Dory's team now Oh Joel is two for two O'Malley singled his first time and it's outside ball one but Mercury's held them at bay but what hasn't been pretty tonight he's given up five hits and two walks now in four and rather 3 and 1/3 innings good pitch right on the outside corner of the knees that's one in one McMurtry has an outside chance of winning 20 probably wind up with 17 or 18 wins a great rookie year currently 12 and 7 there's the pickoff throwing Youngblood gets back you read about the big controversy about allowing kangaroos into this country a lot of folks hopping mad about that what a gullible naive straight man you have it'll be a two-in-one pitch coming up to O'Malley with Youngblood at first in one out here in the fourth to a Jew I've had problems getting above pine tar of late isn't that amazing how much can be made out of that incident that happens in New York I guess becomes a big story Youngblood back Youngblood going there's a strikeout Latroy he's got him again [Music] [Applause] or the Giants no runs on one hit no errors and no one left a strike him out throw him out double play O'Malley fans and Benedict has gun down Youngblood and by a lot at the end of three and a half the score the Braves - and the Giants want a double play anyone who pitches for a living loves a

hope they'll ask him why we have to read that every night that's inside ball one to Bob I hope they do too I'm sure they have something more important there's nothing more important than that is that orange boughs the back one in one corner Murphy and Watson they got the Braves going although they didn't hit their way on Horner and Murphy walked Watson grounded out moving them along and then a sac fly by Roy Stern a single by Bruce Benedict and the bracele two to one two runs on one hit for the Braves the curveball is high the Giants have a run five hits and no errors and Bruce Benedict three for three and throwing out runners him thus far he has the game-winning RBI and hit on the inside corner of the knees to to corner the hottest of the Braves that Newsies hit in seven straight and his last 32 games he's at 350 for the Braves water pops it foul Braes went into Cincinnati on June 24th and won five straight games and that really began their winning ways Braves a 30 and 15 since then and I've taken a five and a half game deficit to Los Angeles turned it into a six nav game lead fouled off [Applause] now here's Browning's two to hit over the bag just foul it started to go over the bag straight then it just went foul John McSherry called it as such in my kind of umpire Big John let's check swing down the ground to O'Malley he fires it wildly and horner goes to second my goodness that glow how to be 10 feet above Darrell Evans head [Applause] I don't think Kareem would have had this one to major league ere he cranks up the ball just sailed on him Evans never had a chance so Horner is at second with nobody out on the air skip mentioned it before Fred Ronnie pitched a beauty against the Braves in San Francisco his teammates did a mini only allowed a couple of hits Horner got the second on a two base throwing air by O'Malley in that game to key the and with one one it for Atlanta then after they took brining out the Braves climbed all over the giants relief corps Murph fouls it back Murph walked his first time and scored a run Murph continues to lead in that department run scored he has not a as a hundred rum scored now it was his hundredth of the year oh and two on Dale porter at second you seen with the lead and no one out here in the bottom of the fourth one two sometimes you look at a guy's won and lost or a zra and you determine he's at either a good abandoned ear from that really have to see people pitch good pitch outside corner he struck him out one away strikeout number two for brining and here is Bob Watson [Applause] I stand corrected strikeout number three Washington in the first McMurtry in the second and out Murph in the fourth browning has walked three and two of them scored bravely two to one here in the fourth curveballs though it'll be Bruce Benny for the Reds and Burt Hooten for Los Angeles see what Watson's done lately Cardinals ended the drought they got four in the 13th and beat the Cubs nine five why I bet they feel a little bit better they will have to go on some winning streak going September to climb back in the race it'll be caught by Evans - away and the reason I say that in September the eastern teams play against each other just like the Western teams play against each other and let's say st. Louis is beating Montreal let's say they're beating Philadelphia well when Montreal and pull it off you go play someone else they might win it's very tough to go past three teams and right now that's what they have to do here is the invaluable Jerry royster two away Horner still at second base there's a strike you know Royster wants to play every day Butler Harper they want to play every day but on the braise I don't want to sound pollyannish but there is no there are no problems about not playing every day one two first when you're winning I guess that helps all winning the winning is everything you've never seen a losing ballclub without a lot of moaning and groaning but you see very little of it on most winning teams the Yankee teams of the late 70s being a exception to that rule hit hard O'Malley knocks it down he has a play [Applause] O'Malley recovers and throws out royster 5-3 no runs no hits one giant Sarah one brave left on at the end of bore the score the Braves to San

7580 Etta here's the sign for Fitzgerald it is Fitzgerald night and I believe 700 or so have come up to root for the braise that's a long drive us down near Florida I believe I'm gonna have them in the barn skip Gary John sterling here at atlanta-fulton County Stadium we go to the fifth it is 2-1 Braves here's can't you Johnny robbed the a theater on the ground in left field he shoots it through for the basic grab can run a little bit for a catcher to he's on first carrying the tying run and presenting a sacrifice situation for Fred Roenick [Applause] you see the lead by RAB as i say he can run a bit rotting and the bunt is foul Brunning walked his first time as a hitter he is 7 for 47 no homers 2 RBIs figures out 2 below 150 here's where a picture can really help himself if he can advance the runner because a couple of pretty good hitters coming up Johnny of the master and Darrell Evans very odd totals in this game a run six hits one error for the Giants two runs one head and it was not a home run and no errors for the Braves the Giants have the only home run Joel Youngblood there's the bunt corner has a play at second he goes there in time it is a 5 6 4 double play and beautifully executed and you get Bruce Benedict some credit here too he's the quarterback and he lets Horner know he's got the play at 2nd and Ramirez gets the double play easily at first with Royster covering so two-way you know when you talk about the different things the Braves have going for him they lead the major leagues in runs score they were very high batting average top to bottom good hitting in the lineup now great bullpen or as the McMurtry and negro at the top of their rotation well the double plays a big part of it boy stur deep second very quick inning no runs a hit no errors no one left at the end of four and a half innings of play the Braves 2 and the Giants one [Music] [Music] we are cable TV's movie star with over 50 great movies a month [Music] okay everybody what do you say we make it Michelob light for the winners yeah it's a whole new game when you're playing for Michelob light the rich smooth taste you can compare that any beer you like [Music] [Applause] nice meeting you big guy the Redman reaction satisfaction there are your totals as we go to the bottom half of the fifth inning Beat Band wear and Ernie Johnson joining it now on Braves TV not a special groups here the Douglas County boys club among the many in attendance tonight and do up for Atlanta in the bottom half of the fifth inning Bruce Benedict then Craig McMurtry then back to the top of the order and Brett Butler Benedict has the only Atlanta hit of the ballgame it was a single to left field back in the second inning drove in the Braves second runnin right now that's the winning run it's 2-1 Braves brining taking a little time before getting ready and the first pitch on the way to the zoo for two riding one into centerfield [Applause] so Bruce delivers a leadoff single here in the bottom half of the fifth inning hit number 2 for Atlanta off brighting little bring up the pitcher Craig McMurtry McMurtry went down swinging his first time up Giants looking for the bun here O'Malley weigh in at third McMurtry's squaring gets the bunt down but foul off to the right and it's nothing at one there have been times this year in this situation particularly when the Braves have a lead when Joe Torre has taken the bunt sign off after the count has gotten too nothing and one on a pitcher there's your honor at first Bruce Benedict being held by Darrell Evans the pitch out but nothing was on Zod's now wanted one again Mac takes a look down at Maxie and the one one on the way bunted down toward Evans at first his only play will be to first three for sacrifice McMurtry does his job Benedict down to second his arm raised a finger in the air to indicate one man out well Benedict was running on the pitch Evans took a look Eddie he knew he had no chance down there we got McMurtry of course it's a now Benedict in scoring position one down back to the top of the order Brett Butler who has fouled at the catcher and walked brining delivers Butler trying to take a swing was unable to Owen want a gout two runs two hits Atlanta one runs six hits for San Francisco or in the bottom half of the fifth inning little chopper foul off to the right and the count on Brett now nothing into Brett with that ever-present bubblegum nothing into the count yes missed outside 1 & 2 Giants got a run in the top half of the second Braves came back with two in the bottom half of the second and that's still our score 2-1 we're in the bottom half of the fifth inning account of 2 & 2 now I'm Brett Butler brining throws a lot of fork balls in this particular game I've never seen him throw as many here's the 2 2 pitch just outside 3 & 2 the Abeka to Rafael Ramirez now the payoff pitch Butler lines one toward centerfield Davis playing a shallow center though makes the catch had thoughts about throwing back to second but Benedict quickly got back so two men are out now with a runner down at second of the batter will be Rafael Ramirez who has flied to left and hit into a 4-6-3 double play rafi trying to extend a 10 game hitting streak [Applause] way outside ball one tomorrow night same two clubs in the final game of this series it'll be Ken dayley against bill Lasky that it's the Dodgers over the weekend all three games are sellouts bouncing ball foul and we've been asked to point out that in September the Dodgers come to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium one more time that is the weekend of September 23rd 24th and 25th and those tickets are moving very very briskly so if you want to catch a brazed Dodgers game you might want to get your ticket order in as early as possible for the September series there's nothing left for this weekend off the end of the bat 1 & 2 that last a camera shot that we've head of riding the last two pitches we couldn't see him of course Nevada can't see him because he's got the glove in the way but we could see him fix his forkball at the last second he just shoves it in between his middle finger his index finger now the 1 2 pitch little soft line drive that's going to fall in base hit centerfield Benedict rounding third here comes the throw by chili Davis he will be safe and down the second goes Ramirez Ramirez now of an 11 game hitting streak he drives in his 36th run of the year and the Braves take a three to one lead rafi can really disturb you because he hits good pitches for basis that pitch was blowing away Benedict just beat the throw at the plate watch fred brocklander give you the sign right here Fred we'll just jump up and down that's safe I like the way Fred calls play little different so it's now a 3 2 1 Atlanta lead 3rd hitting ballgame for the Braves here's Claudell Washington is o for 2 he is struck out and grounded out to first Ramirez took second on the throat of a home throw at a home and there's a called strike 2 caught al Rafi's really had a good year he's at 311 game hitting streak now a very consistent hitter he leads the Braves and hits that base hit by Ramirez was his 129th of the year the second place in the club belongs to Dale Murphy at 121 Rafael was the Braves leader in hits a year ago by one over Dale Murphy 1 & 2 the count now on Claudel bottom half of the fifth inning Braves lead by two Ramirez down at second with two outs and a one two pitch to Washington grounded toward short lemaster up with it cleanly on the first in time so that ends the bottom half of the fifth inning with the Braves make it a good one picking up a run on two hits and leaving one at the end of five completed snow Atlanta 3 San Francisco one [Music] by two Nate will runs down you want to concede the Michelob light you've done it now but a bunch of guys really go at it this hard just for a beer well it is Michelob light and that means or it's smooth taste you can compare that any beer you like can't you guys do it just concentrate on fundamentals and Michelob light [Music] hey funny you drive around the track but not me I think the best way you can have fun in a silica is to leave it just the way it is then driving around town as slow as you can the biggest game is on today the whole town's got a part to play and now enjoy a new caffeine free coke the can is gold the taste from coke coke or new caffeine free coke either way you'll say coke is it and if you followed the brains last year you'll recall how down in the dumps everybody was feeling right about this point last year this is when the Braves were in the midst of that long skid where they fell out of first place had to wait till the final week to win it things a little rosier at this point they share is Darrell Evans now leading off the sixth inning he has singled knees walked had a couple of hellos to send along Johnny Grantham works of the Atlanta Falcons wants to say hello to her son Ken who watches on the cable in Connecticut and we want to wish a happy Anniversary to Pete and Doris scorpan celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary down in West Palm Beach today feats the Braves man in West Palm Beach one ball no strikes to Daryl understand Pete's feeling better he had some surgery and he's up and about now three runs three hits for Atlanta one run six hits for the Giants were in the top half of the sixth to shallow centerfield Dale Murphy with an easy play one down that'll bring out the rightfielder Jack Clark who has flied to right and struck out one ball no strikes one thing the Braves management really likes about Craig McMurtry is even when he doesn't have his best stuff and I think he would probably tell you that tonight he does not have his best stuff he's a battler he was in trouble early in this game couple of hits in the first couple of hits in the second couple of walks in the third then here we are in the sixth inning and it's 3-1 Atlanta there have been many good pitchers who experienced difficulty early in a game if you didn't get him then they would get you later it is now 2 & 1 on Jack Clark now they to one pitch bouncing ball right back to Craig Fonda Watson in time for out number two two away quickly here in the top half of the sixth inning Jeff Leonard will be the batter there was one one pitcher I can recall never seemed like who's ever in trouble that's our pitching coach Bob Gibson he was never in trouble he just wouldn't give you anything one year had a ER a of a little over 1 foot hole for the whole season that's that's just amazing and he was probably unhappy that it wasn't a little lower yes knowing the kind of competitor he is one ball no strikes to Jeff Leonard now the one Oh on the way pop foul back out of play one ball one strike on Leonard Braves tonight trying to win their 70th Game of the Year Giants trying to avoid their 60th loss 1 & 2 now to Leonard McMurtry seeking his 13th win of the season trying to beat the Giants for the first time ever and here's his 1 2 pitch line to right field Claude L started in now backing up makes the catch to end the inning McMurtry has his first authentic 1-2-3 inning nothing doing for the Giants in the 6th we go to the bottom half with our score remaining Atlanta 3 San Francisco 1 Olynyk stained we've got the inside on outside protection inside every can of Olympic stain is linseed oil that penetrates in the side wood to give strong protection outside inside every can is the experience of over half a century that's why Olympic protects the outside of more homes than any other stain Olympic stain we've got the inside on outside protection tonight on CNN sports our closer look will deal with the superstars of our national pastime are they really

on the way to chili Davis did not get the off-speed curve whoops jillee avoided the first tag but was unable to avoid the second one third strikeout for Gregg McMurtry that's this was a curveball and he swung over it it was dropped benedict tagged him right there I thought a little fast feet and Benedict still got it I thought he had him the first day it's been a good strikeout pitch for McMurtry that off-speed breaking ball he's got a lot of strikeouts this year on that pitch doesn't throw it that often sharply hit but right at third Bob Horner gobbles it up on to Watson two down that's the first time Gilligan glutes been retired in the game he and homered and singled his first two times up now the third baseman Tom O'Mally who has singled and struck out the strikeout was the front half of a double play Jill young but was cut down trying to steal Benedict has thrown out three potential base stealers tonight nothing in one in fact you can't have a much better night than Bruce Benedict has had he's thrown out three runners he's gone to four to scored a run driven in a run there's that slow breaking ball at miss low one-on-one now the one:1 coming it sharply that's going to get through at a left field for a base in Tom O'Mally as his second hit of the game that's hit number seven for the Giants and it brings up the catcher Johnny Reb who has flied to right and singled Braves people are quite impressed with the latest youngster swings a bedroom Giants have gone through an awful lot of catchers in recent years trying to find one to catch a majority of the time and stick around for a few years this may be the guide there was one article in San Francisco saying that it didn't throw very well but you can't prove it by the Braves I mean he threw well in San Francisco against Atlanta here's the 102 open there's a pop-up right side of the infield Watson drifting into foul territory Royster coming over look out it'll be Bob Watson dropping the ball in ground [Applause] after a near collision between Royster and Watson Watson got a glove on the ball but couldn't hang on and he'll be charged with an error well if there's Fault to be involved I think royster should be charged with it because it was a clear case of Bob Watson going to catch him I believe he was bothered by Royster being right in front of him and yelling let's see if it hurts or not he should have caught it but he was bothered a bit so it's now one-on-one unwrapped that's the first Atlanta error of the game there's a fly ball pretty well hit right center field Murphy going back still going back he can't get it it bounces off the wall O'Malley will be waved around third he will score and the error did prove costly as on the very next pitch Johnny Reb doubles to right-center field it's now at three two Atlanta lead grabs 5th double is 11th RBI of the year [Applause] as far as well hit wasn't a bad pitch you saw it on the outside part of the plate but he went that way and in a deep to right-center field he's gonna score O'Malley and put rabbit second base and make it a one-run game now we're going to get a pinch-hitter for Fred brining looks like milk may is grabbed a bat and that's who it'll be Milt May batting for Fred brining eight hits now off McMurtry but even though the run here in the seventh inning as scored on a single and a double it's an unearned run because Raab got new life at the plate when Watson dropped the pop-up and foul territory [Applause] Mill Bay batting 244 six home runs 19 RBIs he's got a reputation as a first ball fastball hitter let's see how the Braves treat him here he swings a good bat particularly on a low fastball and sometimes a first ball hitter dönitz second RAB gets his lead he's swinging at that first pitch and filing it back nothing in what [Applause] may a veteran catcher haven't had an awful lot of playing time this year friendly and Rabb of me getting the majority of the starts recently he's in his 13th major-league season fouled off at the plate onto the phrase got some errors got some runt picked up some runs the last two days by the giant air is now San Francisco taken advantage of an air many times you get the error but you don't get the base hit but in this particular case Rab delivered now the o2 - milk made it missed outside 1 & 2 greg minton in the Giants bullpen he'll be their next pitcher Braves bullpen quiet and here's the one - there's that slow curve and it's filed off it stays a ball and two strikes Braves have gotten their three runs on only three hits the Giants have scored two runs on eight hits now the one to slow curve again got him the ball bouncing away from Benedict he'll pick it up and throw down to first in time to end the inning it's a strikeout the fourth of the game for McMurtry give Benedict the assist then give the foot out to Bob Watson some McMurtry is able to pitch out of further trouble one run two hits one costly error one man left on a man for the seventh coming up with our score Braves three Giants to you mote down those pins like you never did before with your final shot knocks down a lot more well the know how you can count on is right on your shelf don't pay some guy to help you out do the job yourself you can do it easy sure does pay with time-life books you've got it made whatever the problem time left books home repair and improvement gives you the skill to solve it you'll start getting results with your first book kitchens and bathrooms just the thing if you've got changes in mind if you keep it pay just nine ninety five plus shipping and handling then about every other month you get another book same low price they pay for themselves with a few little jobs keep only those you want cancel anytime so we hope the bathroom needs redoing and the Plumbing's out of whack it's no big deal to do it when you've got the neck with time-life books you'll handle big jobs too and have the house you always wanted when you're through and hey call now and you'll get this tool guide free when you buy your first book yeah you can do it easy sure does pay with time-life books you got it made to order your first book for a 15 day examination just phone's whole free one eight hundred to five seven one two three four that's one eight hundred five seven one two three four or right kitchens and bathrooms geobox 7500 Atlanta Georgia that's whole free number again is 1-800-585-9396 mittens a good picture he's got an outstanding relief pitcher for many years for the Giants signed a multi-year contract this past year jerry Royster will lead it off it'd be followed by Bruce Benedict and Craig McMurtry we've got a one-run game for it three two bottom of the seventh we haven't the attendance yet but it must be around thirty thousand Giants with eight hits the Braves with three each team guilty of an error grinding went six innings allowed three hits three runs earned three walks and three strikeouts to short to first one duh Royston owl for 2 he had a sacrifice fly in the second inning docked in Iran Benedict singled in a run in the second singled in the fifth thrown out three runners he now has 29 RBIs batting average of 291 atlanta shooting for their 70th win they've lost but 44 times you watch mint and he'll be down around the knees he doesn't pitch around the waist very often that's a sinker one and uh that one came right off Benedict's foot boy he's had more foul balls off the left foot one ball one strike what again the head in Chicago today Cardinals finally won a game they had lost eight in a row and they won nine five and thirteen innings and they used everybody but the clubhouse equipment man to pitch will give you a rundown on some of these scores we know that you're interested in all games Cardinals got 17 it's the Cubs 13 -

for Youngblood last night the Giants made a couple of errors the Braves took advantage of it came away a winner it helped them it was a 7 a 2 game tonight the Braves this is why we say everything evens up the Braves tonight made a couple of costly errors the Giants have four runs they should only have two but it remains to be seen whether it will have an effect on the outcome of the game Atlanta still with two more innings to go we've got a little controversy over here at by third base now brocklander talking something over with Robinson and John McSherry they're looking at the the batting orders I think the card got the lineup card out yeah there is the possibility that frank robinson may have omitted brad Wellman's named from that lineup card you have to put the starters down then all your reserves on that lineup guard he may have omitted that name and they just want to check to be sure that Wellman is an eligible player maybe they didn't recognize him I think he's going to go over and talk to Joe Torre now he's yelling for he said put Wellman's name on the sheet that was the case Frank Robinson had forgotten to put brand Wellman's name on the lineup card [Applause] that's an embarrassing a mistake for a manager to make la-de-da [Applause] official store had three runs earned against McMurphy I think there should be to the quick tree went seven and two thirds allowed 11 hits and four on Butler takes the ball inside a fir-tree struck out four he walked only one make it to do it on Butler - got two innings to do something with greg minton butler ramirez in washington the first three we're playing in the bottom of the 8th that's the strike Butler's looking for his first hit and now made the correction on the earned runs two earned runs against Greg McMartin [Applause] [Applause] two balls and two strikes fans are getting a little antsy their team down by Iran wants something to happen that's to the man and his out number one now Rafael Ramirez who won four three knocked in a run in the fifth hit into a double play in the third and flied the left in the first inning [Applause] Washington's on day Menten shooting for a six win he can hold him he'll be six and eight he has 13 saved laughs hey Josh got enough of it the Braves have four hits and Ramirez has to avoid so now the fans know that [Applause] this time it's Washington corners that Waddell's do he's had extra batting practice he's been in a slump didn't play yesterday came out early for extra hitting [Applause] Menten going to first for marriages back Dodgers failed to score top of the first Cincinnati now batting [Applause] fans come alive he's got a cute little move over there little jump with a quick step one curveball down at end got claudel chasing it we're in the third inning at Montreal no score between the nets and the Expo [Applause] now mitten we've got one on the bottom of it they've got rain at Detroit where the White Sox are playing the Tigers [Applause] here's a 1-1 pitch job Washington almost chased that ball I believe it was a pitch out two balls in the side it definitely was a pitch out and yes Ernie you're right Bob l almost did go after that pitch that shows he's confused up there right now even put in a slump do I we're going follow they played hit and run and Washington fouled it away two balls in Tuesday curry plays aggressive baseball Joe Torre manager of the year in 1982 a good chance to win that award again this year sir you won't rattle mitten he's a free spirit two balls and two strikes Washington wedding raffia first he's going again that's a good thing he started 4/3 and held on Washington reached out and put that ball in a lab now the brains have had some experience with a strong throwing arm of Jeff Leonard in earlier games this year he's thrown out two or three Atlanta runners and knowing that Ramirez after taking a wide turn at second base he likes to go back well here you've got your two hitters Horner and Murphy do up straight out to the mound to talk it over with Minton no one warming in their bullpen so a little soft single by Ramirez to right in a line drive single by Washington and left in Atlanta with the tying run at second base and a go-ahead run at first with one down or they're looking for the ground fire corners looking for his first hit of the night he's overdue he walked in scored in a second first pitch to him right harder to like the go no balls and one strike Oh one missed inside [Applause] linton taking his time you can't blame it now Horner gets tired of waiting they've got an indicator set aside with a runner at second takes a little longer to get the sign to the picture and then if he doesn't agree with the catcher you start all over one ball one strike toward that wall Washington the third corner second thirty thousand going bananas here at the stadium into for four games it was on the last road trip that Phil Niekro said sometimes this year's Atlanta Braves team seems to play better when they're down by a runner too and that's been the case tonight Braves fell behind by one in the second came back and scored two corner doubles off the law drives in his 66 fight of the year we got a lock Murphy and cut our replay of corner you saw him keep his eye on the ball almost to the point where he could see and hit the bed many times good hitters will say they watch the ball they feel that they can see it hit the bat although you think that would be impossible and if we could play that back I don't know if we've got it again bar kokhba's might have it you'll see Horner looked right at that ball head down just like a golfer the bases are loaded now watch partner just looking at that ball seeing it hit the bag [Applause] there Bob Watson with a base with auditive Joe Joey looks on but Murphy at first [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for for bottom it is I believe he went if they ask for help they say no I think the Braves got a break I thought he went around one ball no strikes watch this look where the van is oh yeah they missed it the if Watson can take advantage the one Oh George short double play ball it is and they get out of it but Atlanta picks up a run on a big hit by Horner we've completed eight we go to the night praise for Giants for its Olivia newton-john [Music] but the first time on television Olivia newton-john's

catch it Falls infra bases first and second on a bloop single Buckner had the only chance Ramirez was covering on the play they were sending a runner from first you heard his talk about it someone has to cover left-handed batter Jerry royster said Raffi your turn to cover you should take it there's error slip there's patina taking off and there's the pop fly you see Raphael in that picture going over towards second now going back trying to catch up with it knows he can't do it so it's all up to Brett Butler and a long an almost impossible run and couldn't quite get to it well a giant's going to break on a little pop fly that was about 15 feet back in left-field Lemaster in the pitch line to left base hit Butler's going to field it fire tore the play what what Murray's done it again we put down bikini the green key to the Frank Robinson nobody murders at first and third at still four to four but now go out another perfect throw by Brett Butler who's been doing this all year long he threw on a runner at second base in last night's game right on the money to Bruce Benedict the tag is applied the plate is blocked and the man is out at home there's another angle you'll see Benedict received the throw block the plate and apply the tan perfect execution Frank Robinson spilled on the green he's out there arguing because Evans was on the scene and started arguing still not true the ninth inning we didn't televise last night but if you've ever been out here you know how far it is to the right-field corner where it says 3:30 down in the right-field corner Butler was playing right field last night O'Malley hit a ball down in a right-field corner that belts off the sign more or less carom off the fence deep in the corner he thought he had a double Butler uncorked a strike all away from that corner to second base and O'Malley was tagged down we don't have the stats on Butler for the year but we're going to make a point of getting it how many people he has thrown out [Applause] [Music] but here's Darrell Evans that Rosen was still another big hurdle first and third two outs there have been two hits in the inning and a hit batsman and here comes Joe Torre and bedrocks not going to get a chance to pitch to Evans I believe Forrester will come in Forrester last night pitched two scoreless innings in relief the signed by Joe Torre and Forrester makes his way to the mound bed Rosen leaving okay as Bedrosian leaves and forster comes on let's pause for this commercial [Applause] your head where it's fresh and green to see a world you've never seen there are

hitting here by Darrell Evans he gets a breaking ball down around the knees and he knew and he hit it that it had a chance to get out of here Murphy went back as far as he could just ran out of real estate one ball one strike on Clark and the pitch outside corner 1 & 2 here it is missed outside 2 & 2 Evans homered here last night he has four homers against Atlanta this season now the 2 2 pitch

[Music] [Applause] paola to to Paul straight through Harper's called out on strikes on a fastball by Gary Laval the Giants are one out away from evening this series here's the third strike to terry harper like it caught the inside corner now Randy Johnson will bat for Brett Butler as the last hope for the Braves have to remember when you're watching yumpire call these pitches that it's not where they catch it it's where in his opinion it goes over the plate so many times you'll see the catcher appear to catch a ball it might be out of the strike zone but as it crosses the plate that's when they make their call Randy Johnson on as a pinch-hitter raised last hope laval trying to save this for craig mittens those runs belong to mitten those three and tonight and Laval does qualify for a save Jean Garber starts throwing in Atlanta's bullpen Johnson at 364 no homers eight RBIs inside he's got a tough slider comes right in on you look guard center and the Giants win [Applause] Randy Johnson did it quite well towards centerfield but it was picked off by chili Davis and just like that on a three-run shot by Evans and tonight the San Francisco Giants have even this series they win tonight by a score of 7 to 4 and with that Peter you have the totals for the San Francisco Giants seven runs on 14 hits they made one error left five men on base Atlanta four runs seven hits two errors six runners were left on base the win goes to greg minton minton 'he's record now six and eight gary Lavelle picks up a save as 13th Steve Bedrosian takes the loss and his record goes to seven and five this ball game really was all decided in the final couple of innings Braves held a 3-2 lead going to the eighth inning we're going to show you what happened from that point on in the eighth inning with runners on at first and third chili Davis gets a base hit to center field and when the ball gets by Dale Murphy it allows Jeff letter to score all the way from first base and give San Francisco a 4-3 lead but as is so often been the case this year the Braves wasted little time getting back in the bottom half of the inning runners aboard first and second Bob Horner almost hit the ball out of the park and hits high off the wall in left centerfield it scores Rafael Ramirez and it ties the game at 4-4 a dramatic top half of the ninth inning runners were on at first and second the batter was Johnny lemaster lemaster drives a single into left field and watched the perfect throw by Brett Butler cut down Joe patina and home plate he won't see a better throw than this one made from left field all the way on the fly to Bruce Benedict who applies the tag to keep it at 4-4 but then the hero of the evening turns out to be Darrell Evans is not very happy they're arguing the plate umpire fred brocklander but a few pitches later Darrell Evans was happy with Bergman and Lemaster aboard he corked a Terry foster slider in the deep centerfield it clears the centerfield fence Evans has his 23rd Homer of the year RBIs 58 59 and 60 Gary Lavelle puts out the side in the bottom half of the ninth and the Giants hold on to win it seven to four okay tomorrow night same to Bob's love
