Oscar night drama and some Autoscript in the 7th...

 The game moved on to the 7th, that's the Jerry Doggett inning, so... "Now for more play-by-play, for Lucky Strike, here's Jerry. OK Vin, Cards lead 4 to 1 as we head to the top of the 7th. Curt Flood leads off, he's singled his last 2 times up and scored in the 5th. The pitch from Podres is lined up the middle for Flood, his 3rd hit of the night, on with nobody out and here's Bill White, who has singled twice and scored in the 5th. Podres from the stretch, the pitch to White, lined to center, that's a base hit for White, his 3rd of the night which will send Flood to 2nd, putting runners at 1st and 2nd with nobody out." Ken Boyer then flied to center, Dodgers changed pitchers, bringing in righty reliever Larry Sherry, who got Musial to fly to center. Don Taussig, who would eventually get his 3rd hit, did this with his 2nd: "The pitch from Sherry to Taussig, lined to center, base hit. Flood rounds 3rd, he will score, White will stop at 2nd, it's 5 to 1, St Louis." Daryl Spencer then singled home White to extend the St. Lou score to 6-1. Now let's give away some Autoscript...

"Here's Charlie Neal to lead off the home 7th, he's walked and grounded to short. Gibson gets the sign from Smith, the pitch to Neal is swung on and hit high and deep, Taussig looks up, it's gone! Charlie Neal hit a leadoff homer, and the Dodgers now trail it 6-2. That home run will give Charlie two free books of Union Oil Autoscript and the Santa Monica chapter of the Boys Club of America will also recieve two free books compliments of Union Oil of Cailfornia. Here's Rosey, who has struck out twice off Gibson. The pitch from Gibson, hit high and deep to center, Flood plays it high off the wall, here comes Rosey pulling into 3rd, he'll make it with a stand-up triple! Gibson has to be a little rattled opening the 7th, that's a home run and a triple back-to-back, which brings up Gil Hodges, who entered via the double-switch for Larker in the top of the inning. Gibson gets the sign, from the stretch here's the pitch to Gil, it's a base hit to left, Rosey scores, it is now 6 to 3, still nobody out in the 7th, Gibson now has to be a bit rattled, as the St. Louis bullpen fires up even more. Wills is up, singled last time up in the 5th, he's 1 for 3. The pitch to Wills, base hit up the middle, Hodges rounds 2nd, he holds, runners at 1st and 2nd, still nobody out and Willie Davis steps up to the plate as the tying run! 4 straight hits to open the 7th, the Cards pitching coach wants a few words with Gibson. Gibson says he's fine, here's Willie with the tying run. Willie is 1 for 3, he singled last time up. The pitch to Willie, base hit to center! Hodges will stop at 3rd, Wills at 2nd, Willie has loaded the bases for Gilliam! 5 straight hits, Gibson insists he's fine, base loaded, nobody out, Gilliam is up. Infield in double play depth, Junior is 0 for 1. From the stretch, Gibson's pitch to Gilliam, ground ball to White, throws to Spencer for 1, back to White, safe, Hodges scores, Wills to 3rd Willie's forced, the St. Louis lead has been cut to 6-4, now with 1 out and Wally Moon the batter. Gibson from the stretch, the pitch to Moon, ground ball to Javier at 2nd, throws to short for 1, back to White at 1st, double play, inning is over." In the Dodger 7th, 3 runs, 5 hits, no errors, 1 left. At the end of 7, it is now St. Louis 6, Dodgers 4.'

Glen's Hobbie: Retiring 17 in a row...

  The Cub right-hander was mowing them down from the 3rd inning on, retiring the last 17 Braves batters to face him heading into the 9th. Dizzy Dean was warming up his harmonica for the 1st running of the "Wabash Cannonball", so here's Pee Wee Reese for the 9th inning call. REESE: Hobbie will face Mathews, Aaron and Adcock here in the 9th, looking to complete this game here at Wrigley Field. Spahn vs. Cardwell. same time tomorrow over these same stations. Mathews has walked and singled in 3 trips this afternoon. The pitch from Hobbie, swung on and hit deep to right, back goes Williams, she is gone! Eddie Mathews takes a Hobbie fast ball and hits it very deep to right, giving the Braves their 1st run since the 3rd inning. It is now an 8-3 ball game, which also snaps the streak of 17 in a row retired by Hobbie. It is also the Braves first homer this season. Here's Aaron, 0-2 with a sac fly and he takes the next pitch from Hobbie deep to center field, you can kiss that o...

Wild happenings in the 8th...

  After a wild 7th, the action moved on to the 8th at the Coliseum with the Cardinals leading 6-4. "Now with more play for Union Oil, here's Vin Scully. "All right, Jerry, it'll be Gibson, Javier and Flood to face Larry Sherry. Dodgers trail 6-4 after scoring 3 in the 7th after the Cards scored 2 in their half of the 7th. Gibson fought off an onslaught to even get a chance again in the 8th. The wind from Sherry and the pitch is grounded to Gilliam, he bobbles, throw to first is late, that will be an error on Gilliam and Gibson is on 1st to open the 8th. Now here's Javier, he's 0 for 4. Infield could be expecting a bunt here. Sherry from the stretch, the pitch to Javier is lined up the middle for a base hit, Gibson rounds 2nd, he'll head to 3rd and the Cardinals are flapping their wings again here in the 8th, at the corners with nobody out." Flood then struck out, Bill White stepped up to the plate just in time for another Dodger misstep: "Sherry ...

The Don Zimmer Show...

The Braves threatened, putting runners at 1st and 2nd with nobody on in the top of the 2nd, before Hobbie put down the rally with a fly ball to center and a 6-4-3 DP. Al Heist led off the Cub 2nd with a homer to right, making the score 2-0 after 2. The Braves would tie it up in the 3rd after Carl Willey led off with a pop to Zimmer at 2nd. (More from Zim later) Then up stepped Lee Maye: DEAN: Maye fouled to the catcher in the 1st, Braves trail by 2 here in the 3rd. The pitch to Maye is lined up the middle for a base hit. Maye now 1 for 2, here comes Bolling, a fly to left in the 1st. Maye takes off, the throw to 2nd, not in time, it gets away from Zimmer, it'll be backed up by DeMerit at center, no further advancement for Maye, who swipes his 2nd base of the season. (Bolling walks) Here's Mathews, recipient of a walk in the 1st. Infield playing for 2. The pitch to Mathews, lined to center and through for a base hit, Maye races past 3rd, he will put Milwaukee on the board, round...
