grow into tomorrow's action and then move Gura do the following day. So
the devils stay in pitch check swing outside volunteers strike.
But pitching depth means quite a bit in the tournament and particularly in
these two critical days because you could have pitched your best man, say
on friday and had a weekend to rest and pitch him again like texas did.
But now grounded foul off the plate back to the screen as valleys hanging
in there,
breeze moving to straightaway center field old glory giving us away as it
moves towards
charlie's. Ooh, here's the pitch outside and low and Valley takes it. It's
two balls and two strikes. Larry Gura in the on deck circle
or not if they keep plenty of times. Got a runner at first base in, Jeff
Osborne with one down, here's the pitch swung on and missed for strike
three. So Valley is out number two in the evening. That's the first
strikeout by Bernardo. And the red men have only registered to picture
Together with Craig Swan back in the 5th inning. So now the current
pitcher, Larry Gura steps in and the first pitch to him is swung on a fly
ball foul down the left field line, way back up in the bleachers At its
Strike one.
Osborne led off with a single up the middle here in the 8th but Lenny
Randle popped to short center and Valley has struck out. So the Devils
have to down and Larry girl. The picture is batting, there's a called
strike, he takes a curve and its own too.
But I don't probably give him an outside pitch this time right hand
already looks at Osborne delivers way outside for a ball. one ball and two
strikes.
The devils have but three hours to go for their second victory here in the
series.
There's a stretch by Bernard delivers the girl inside, throw it down to
Osborne gets away from goes into center field. Osborne digging here to
pick up the center fielder. Sound like the throw is not going to be made,
he's just going to throw it into the shortstop. This Arsenault and that
might have been a very wise play. Larry Gura, the picture is the batter
and it's two balls and two strikes. And had that throw gone over the head
of the 3rd Baseman, Osborne could have come all the way home. So Osborne
has a stolen base to second base that is stolen base. Number four in this
game by the devils, We'll go to 3rd base on the bad throw and grew up
brings and misses for strike three. So Fernando registers his second
strikeout and for the Devils in the eighth, no runs on one hit, no errors
and a man left and the score at the end of eight complete innings of play.
The Sun devils of Arizona state for the Red men of the University of
massachusetts to
battle tonight and for the Redmen it'll be number 56 and seven hitters tom
Semedo who struck out twice and singles takes two pitches outside of Korea
is really rifling the ball but he's missing and it's two balls and no
strikes seven single to right and then struck out twice. There's a pitch
that is a called strike as he was taking all the way
right down to the nubbins for the red men
seminar close stance. Here's the pitch by Gura swung on and fouled back up
in the stands too slack too. And the count is even up son a little more
prevalent now but everybody in the lectures has coat or a sweater or
something. Here's the pitch by gore a check swing it's high and inside for
ball through. Yeah, full count. And Gura again behind. He came in relief
of Craig Swan in the 7th and got stanford the pitch hitter to hit into a
fielder's choice to retire the side. There's pitch ball four and for the
second time in a row he's walked the leadoff batter,
Walk number two given up by a girl
seminar to first base and mitch Salik the batter, Hitler's and three trips
right Checks Dick Burnquist at 3rd for the sign, checks cotton for the
sign. Now the peak at the runner, the pitch is a called strike stomach
shortens up the bunch, brings valley in on the grass and then pulls the
bat back but the law caught the corner
dr with a stretch, it can outside for a ball, no shortening up that time
and it's even up one of these
larry girl with the stretch With the 1 1 it comes swung on and fouled out
of play to the right side And it's a ball and two strikes
paul sills icky on deck,
Nobody down for the red man as they bat in the top of the night. They need
two runs to tie go already, delivers swung out and missed for strike three.
Don't expect a curve ball and swung feebly at it. It comes strike out
victim number two for gora, 10 for double pictures tonight he is out
number one and was a key steps in a single and three himself. A strikeout
victim in the sec shortens up the bunt, takes a called strike on the
outside corner,
heartburn holding the runner
seminar at first. There's a stretch by the left handed Gura, here's the
pitch just misses the outside corner and it's even up at one apiece.
Two more outs and the devils can take home victory number two and the
College World Series and prolong their life here in no ma there's a pitch
by girl swung out and missed for strike two and so Vicky not particularly
happy with that sweater
europe taking plenty of time. There's the stretch. Now, it looks at first
delivers, swung on and fouled through his legs and back. So the screen on
the right side of the count remains the same. A ball and two strikes
six home runs
in the World Series games thus far, which this would be the ninth or the
10th game. Here's the pitch by girl up Mrs outside with a curve ball and
it's even up to and to bob blakely of southern Illinois cloudy in
Mississippi those two in the same game almost in the same place. Roger,
Whittaker one for Salsa. Here's the pitch by girl swung on and fouled to
the right side out of play. Fat Brown and Dave Hill of six Texas, he said
one and Bob Hanssen of Massachusetts had one in this ball game and it
wasn't Andy Double plays. We have unofficially 16 which Arizona State has
five and they just missed two. Here's the pitch, my girl swung out and
miss. That's right through.
Strikeout # three for a girl, number 11 for Devil hurlers. Two outs in the
ninth and the devils need but one more 14 him there seven are still the
runner at first base. He opened the 9th with the walk and tim Barringer
struck out, grounded out and single to left. Here's the first six by gora
misses inside with the ball.
Mhm.
You're taking plenty of time ready now, Dick moving in a few steps in
right field pitches across the plate but high and it's ball two and billy
Cotton really flailed it back to Larry saying, come on, come on, come on
two down Short lead at first by someone pitched by girls swung on and
missed just like one.
Girl looks a lot sharper than he did in the first game I would and we
don't mean to demean him at all because in the first game as we've Told
you a couple of times you're only allowed one earned run. Here's the pitch
inside and low for ball three but his curve ball is breaking better today
than it did before but he still looks like he's attempting to work too
hard. Have a tendency to aim the ball. You don't flail as well. Here's the
pitch called Strike two on the outside corner and the counter school
well seminar will be going and this could be the last pitch of the ball
game girl with a stretch and the peak at the runner throws to first. They
have him picked off and running him down throws to Randall. Randall will
take him out in the ball game is over a beautiful defensive move by larry
girl as he catches tom seminar off And the Rundown will go 1 - 3 - 4 to
end the ball game. And the devils win it. We'll be back in a moment with a
wrap up of the game. But in the ninth for the red men, no runs on, no hits.
There were no heirs and no men left on base. The final score. The Sun
devils of Arizona State University for the red men at the University of
massachusetts to
85. Hi and in my
well our first game show here from Rosenblatt Stadium at Omaha Nebraska is
brought to you by shaper and smith insurance company and they've got to be
two of the finest sun Devil routers you ever know. As we mentioned a
moment ago in the Ballgame, Bill Schaper is here and they took the entire
team out for steak dinners over the weekend. We have a little such at home
and and a full stomach because those steaks were absolutely delicious And
of course they bring you the postgame part of our broadcast every game. So
we'd like very much for you to give them a call. Say hello there. We
appreciate your sponsorship And uh, of course you have any insurance
problems. They'll be happy to take care of him for you. Well the devils
have winner the score 4 to 2 for the Devils. They have four runs on nine
hits, They left, they had no errors and left eight men stand for the Red
men of the University of massachusetts. They had two runs on five hits.
They had two miscues and left five strength Time of the game one hour and
57 minutes. The official attendance in the neighborhood of 5500
winning pitcher was craig swan who is now nine and oh undefeated in major
college competition. He did however, received some help from Larry Gura
who came on in the seventh with two down. He allowed from that point no
runs and no hits. He walked two and struck out three For Swan. He worked
six and 2/3 innings. He gave up two runs and on five hits he walked two
and struck out eight. There were two men on when he left the ball game,
but they got no further than where they were when they left. The losing
pitcher will be the starter, Lou Colabello. He worked four and two thirds
innings, allowed four runs on seven hits, didn't walk a soul struck out
only one. Elliott came on in relief in the fifth inning, worked one third
of an inning and then came on in the next inning to work full time for one
and a third innings, giving up one hit and walking long And then Jack
Bernardo came out in the 7th. Their pitch the remaining two innings.
Bernardo, I mean in the 6th and he pitched the 7th and 8th. The devil's
in my bed in the night. He gave up one hit, walked one and struck out too
well. That's a About as good a game as the devils have put together in
this world series and a 4-2 score does not indicate a slaughter by any
means. And most If not indeed all the action came in the 5th inning. Lenny
Randle led off with a double down the left field line, rick Valley
grounded out 3rd 1st and craig swan struck out. So with Randall at second
base there were two down and as you say in this game, let's start it with
two. That's exactly what they said to Roger, Debtor, who promptly tripled
to left center. That of course scored Randall from 2nd, that tied the ball
game up at one a piece and then Roger who was standing on third base,
watched Ralph Dick single up the middle to score him and then Jon Dahl
insect tripled over the head of the right fielder, paul Suzuki that also
broke the team triple record and then paul Ray pile decided that maybe
they need a little extra help. So he tripled up the right center alley to
boot. So in that inning they picked up four runs on five base hits and
four of those base hits. The extra base variety, three of them triples and
of course Randall's doubled to lead it off. That was the beginning. The
Devils did get a hit in the first one in the second one in the third, They
went hitless in the 4th, 6th and 7th and picked up a single hit in the 8th.
Jeff Osborne's first World Series base hit, but he stole second base and
went to third base on a bad throw but could not score as a Randall Valley
and girl ended the energy. But the devils have won 4 - two. Hopefully we
still see him standing down there having a seven up bobby winkles could
get up here to talk to you. But I know that at this very moment he is
thinking about the win and he is very much considering Tulsa because
that's exactly who the devils will play. They will play Tulsa regardless
of the outcome between the new york university violence and the hurricanes
of Tulsa because that game is coming up in a moment and the winner of that
game will decide only when the devils will play. So we cannot tell you
that now, we can tell you they will play tomorrow, will be at either 3 30
in the afternoon phoenix time or at six pm phoenix time. But we cannot
tell you exactly which until the outcome of the game, which is not yet
started. We'll be back in a moment and hopefully we're the swift and save.
But right now we're going to pause 50 odd seconds for a shaper and smith
commercial.
This is CBS for Phoenix K. O. L. Radio 96
and I'm sure he's given a and the fans on their little Swift Swift in
Arkansas Lingo lease there as he's telling him just exactly how he managed
the devils into that 4-2 win. Uh, let us just very briefly, since there
has been a lot of action since we were talking to you last on saturday.
Let us just tell you exactly how this tournament has gone thus far. Texas
speed, Arizona state in the opener, four to nothing and you know and Tulsa
Tulsa one in X. Training 6 to 5 Then Massachusetts surprised the # one
team in the nation's southern other noise by blanking them two to nothing.
and Mississippi and New York with the violence on top 8-3, an Arizona
State played UCLA and beat 2 to 1 in extra innings. That was the last time
we're with you Southern Illinois and Mississippi play and Mississippi came
on strong to beat the salukis 8 to 1 and send them packing. And then texas
and Tulsa play and Tulsa uh beat the Longhorns 4 to 2 as steve Rogers
pitched seven and two thirds innings of no hit ball And the longhorns
scoring only two runs in the bottom of the 9th. But much, much too late as
the hurricane came on for a 4-2 win. Now, Arizona state has played
Massachusetts and has won by the score of 4-2 texas this afternoon in the
loser's bracket defeated Mississippi by the score of 14 to 1. So tomorrow
after Tulsa and Ny new york university play tonight and they are the only
two undefeated teams. Then tomorrow Arizona State will play Tulsa very
definitely whether they win or lose and texas will play new york
university regardless of whether they win or lose. The only thing to be
determined by this game tonight. Other than of course how will you stand
in the College World series will be for Arizona State, who when they play
, not who they play and if they, if I believe it's set up now we're not
punching, it's Tulsa winds then the winner will play the night contest. So
that Tulsa wins this game. Our game will start tomorrow night at six PM
phoenix time. If indeed the violets who are far from shrinking, come on to
beat the hurricanes then we will play at 3 30 tomorrow afternoon. Well,
robert Waco's is nowhere in sight and we can understand it because he
stayed with his charges through this whole weekend. He's worked with him.
He talked to Amanda man and we hopefully we'll be able to say at least a
load to him if he gets there. But where Gordy Jensen has got a high ball
out the door. Bay is coming. He's got a bigger
but he's walking In case you joined us late. The Devil's one at 4-2 And
they did it with nine hits, five of which came in one inning, the fifth as
they pushed four runs across and got them all right there. The violets
couldn't do much as here comes coach wiggles on the dead run out of breath
and we told them absolutely everything. But the amazing success story of
your order to patients
What I can 100 bob. It's pretty hard to get up here in 12 minutes. You
know, robert your theory backfired. Not totally at all because I know you
were planning to use guru and relief if you need it craig looked very good
today. But do you think at all he might have gone the distance. I know you
don't want to get a chance. No because his shoulder started bothering him
and it was pretty obvious from down where we were. I know you're pretty
far from the field but it was quite obvious that his fastball had nothing
on it in the sixth inning. I wanted to let him try to get through the
seventh inning and then go with Crawford the last two innings. So we could
have dinner tomorrow. But as you know bob there's no tomorrow when you've
got one law. Absolutely. Right. So we'll go all out. We can to win this
particular ball game and get here to play again tomorrow. We will be
playing help. Well we know that and we've so told the folks the only thing
to be decided at the time and if Tulsa wins then you will play at night.
If they lose, you will play in the afternoon. We both night games 5 38.
Yes 5 30. That's right. We suggest that a possibility. You can preset a
straight that you would go with Agro tomorrow and then maybe save girl who
only worked maybe 2.5 innings today for the following day. Well that's
very true. I have to think that over through the night and we don't be
surprised if you hear a name Hansen out on the mound tomorrow. Okay. Do
what you want is hitting for this. Yes, we had some of it, but not enough
to suit me. We hit some balls good that were caught bob in general. We got
all our hits in one inning. And of course we came up with the big four
runs with two men out, which is a break for us because you don't score
four runs with two men out a lot. And massachusetts was a better ball club
And I thought they were, they played very well today. They didn't make
three years, but none of the heirs figured in the scoring and after seeing
him last night they played ragged but the day they played well and we had
our hands full out there, robert. We'll let you go. We know that despite
the fact that there is a victory celebration of sorts for you that you've
got a lot of things. Talk about a lot of things to go over and that
tomorrow is another day and you got to win that one too. I don't have much
thinking about the lineup, but I've got a full night about the starting
pitcher. Okay, bobby winkles, thank you very much for that 12 minute run.
He's going to lay right down there. I think in risk for the rest of these
, we'll get out of your way. So step someday would you? Uh huh. The devils
win it 4 - two. They played seven step 297 pleasurable. Step 39. I ran it
all the way. The mother's body, the doubles one at 4 to 2. We'll be back
tomorrow. And please keep tuned to K. O. L. Because they will know because
we'll call him as soon as this game is over to let you know just exactly
when broadcast time is bob Davies for Doug Gerlach and nor the Jetsons
saying so long from Omaha, correct.
