WEBVTT 00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:10.140 It's time for the college World Series. It's exciting baseball action on 00:00:12.579 --> 00:00:17.166 Cool radio. Phoenix brought to you by Western State tire sales. The 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.486 butlers of 7-Up, Ozark Fried Chicken and Cavalier Homes. Now the Sun 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.166 Devils of Arizona State swing into action and with the play by play, 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.977 here's Bob Davies. 00:00:28.010 --> 00:00:30.936 Thank you. And good evening everybody. This is Bob Davies at Rosenblatt 00:00:30.969 --> 00:00:35.307 Stadium in what potentially is a gale force wind. You may not be able to 00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.445 see it on your television screens. And we say that because tonight for the 00:00:39.478 --> 00:00:43.546 first time in five games that the Devils will participate in here at 00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:48.445 Rosenblatt Stadium, a lot of folks are joining us on channel 10 in Phoenix. 00:00:48.478 --> 00:00:51.875 To those of you who have been with us on Cool Radio all the time. Welcome 00:00:51.908 --> 00:00:55.737 again and to those of you who perhaps are joining us for the first time on 00:00:55.770 --> 00:01:00.606 Cool F ma welcome to you. Also, the weather man has turned the tide here 00:01:00.639 --> 00:01:05.046 in Omaha. Currently, the wind is gusting on that field as you see it 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:09.486 between 25 and 30 miles an hour. Perhaps you can hear it whizzing by our 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:14.036 microphone as well. The temperature is 80 three degrees outside humidity 00:01:14.069 --> 00:01:18.016 reading, I believe must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 40%. So it is 00:01:18.049 --> 00:01:23.117 as cold as well. And there on the television monitor is an example of the 00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:26.717 flag of the United States of America in center field. It's blowing left to 00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:31.296 right and is absolutely straight out. And that indicates that there is 00:01:31.329 --> 00:01:37.326 definitely a very stiff breeze. It's a fifth World Series contest for the 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.046 Devils of Arizona State against the Violets of New York University. Each 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.007 team with a record of three wins and one loss. We'll be back in a moment 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:54.040 with the starting lineups. But first, this pause 00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:02.816 here are the starting lineups for tonight's ball game for the visiting 00:03:02.849 --> 00:03:05.827 ball club.

They've saved him for tonight. Face the Devils a 6 ft 00:03:54.808 --> 00:04:00.846 £200 left hander by the name of Ellsworth Jones Jones pitching and Bardo 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.156 catching all the Devils leading off and playing shortstop is Roger Deter 00:04:06.189 --> 00:04:10.866 heading second and playing in right field, Ralph Dick. Ralph Dick in right 00:04:10.899 --> 00:04:15.517 heading third. The tournament's leading hitter John Dolan SEK playing in 00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:20.015 left field, Dolan second left heading clean up and playing in center field 00:04:20.048 --> 00:04:24.947 for the Devils will be Paul Ray Powell Powell in center field hitting 00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:29.786 fifth and handling the catching t will be Billy Joel Cotton heading sixth 00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:34.336 and playing at first base will be Jeff Osborne Osborne at first base 00:04:34.369 --> 00:04:39.346 heading seventh and playing at second base will be Lenny Randall and 00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:43.325 hitting eighth and playing third base. Rick Valley and the pitcher for the 00:04:43.358 --> 00:04:48.697 Sun Devils. Tonight is the big 6 ft 5, 200 pounder. Laon Lares. Lare is 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.967 the pitcher and Cotton is the catcher. Well, we're ready to go action in 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.361 the very first top of the first inning, Fred Levine Tom Bono and Jim Kish 00:04:58.394 --> 00:05:03.971 the batter for New York University. The Violets came to this game three 00:05:04.004 --> 00:05:08.512 wins at a loss by beating Massachusetts, Mississippi and Tulsa first pitch 00:05:08.545 --> 00:05:12.562 is a long fly ball to deep right field, Ralph Dick back on the warning 00:05:12.595 --> 00:05:17.961 track and has it for out number one and that ball was fairly well tagged 00:05:17.994 --> 00:05:21.051 because that's almost with the wind and the ball has a tendency now to 00:05:21.084 --> 00:05:25.572 curve over to that right field line. So Levine is that number one here in 00:05:25.605 --> 00:05:33.605 the first. Then Tom, the catcher is the ba 502, 72 on the season. The girl 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.596 ready with the pitch, the right hander fire swung on and missed by vitto 00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:42.546 strike one. They beat Mississippi 8 to 3, beat Massachusetts 9 to 2. 00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:46.447 Although the Red men gave them three errors and they got beat by Tulsa 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.687 two to nothing and then they came back to beat Texas in a much disputed 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.856 game by the score of 3 to 2. Yesterday, there was a pitch fa girl, a fat 00:05:52.889 --> 00:05:58.765 ball swung on and missed at strike two. Yesterday, 00:05:58.798 --> 00:06:02.765 the Texas Longhorns kind of got a little long sighted started looking at 00:06:02.798 --> 00:06:06.637 Arizona State or perhaps indeed Tulsa for the finals and New York 00:06:06.670 --> 00:06:11.637 University wasted no time and taking care of them. 3 to 2. That pitch is 00:06:11.670 --> 00:06:15.286 outside by the girl that count as the ball and two strikes. A much 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.377 disputed play ended the game as Jack Miller, left hander hit one down the 00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:22.486 first baseline. There's another ball outside on a curveball. It count as 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.507 even two and two first baseman sec at the ball fell down then to the bag, 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:31.236 hit the bag with the glove with the ball in it and he was called out and 00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:35.036 then as the runner passed, there's a high pop up to the right side. Jeff 00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:38.846 Osborne in fair territory. Now moving to five territory under it and has 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.286 it out. Number two. That's a difficult play 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.257 to battle, popping up in foul territory to Jeff Osborne there. Two up and 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:53.106 two down and the batter is the center fielder. Jim K 00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:58.455 hitting 351 on the season. The third place hitter, as soon as Miller 00:06:58.488 --> 00:07:02.796 passed the bag, his foot accidentally hit the glove in which steps, hand 00:07:02.829 --> 00:07:05.555 held the ball and the ball went scooting out into the right field. Well, 00:07:05.588 --> 00:07:09.276 of course, the entire Texas bench was in the middle of the field arguing 00:07:09.309 --> 00:07:13.286 that Fletcher Harvey, the land umpire at first who called the play was 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.877 wrong, that the ball was dropped and indeed he was safe in the run that 00:07:15.910 --> 00:07:19.217 was on second base scored and the score was tied at one a piece. The 00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:26.606 fastball is on the inside corner took a and it is oh and one right handed 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.526 batter and it is, he calls it a strike, although the batter steps 00:07:30.559 --> 00:07:34.116 completely out, he got something in his eye and there's just no doubt 00:07:34.149 --> 00:07:37.776 about it. You're bound to get anything. It could be a bathtub or a small 00:07:37.809 --> 00:07:43.697 hipper. That wind is really blowing. 00:07:43.730 --> 00:07:48.687 The scoreboard says the count is 0 to 2. The girl ready with the pitch, 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.745 the right hander delivers it's inside for a ball and card takes down to 00:07:52.778 --> 00:07:56.596 one knee. We're in the top half of the first inning. No score in the ball 00:07:56.629 --> 00:08:01.447 game. The visiting New York University Violets advance one ball and two 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.197 strikes. The girl fires a fastball misses outside and the count is even at 00:08:05.230 --> 00:08:09.856 two and two. For those of you who are watching on television, as I say 00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:13.745 again, welcome. Occasionally we'll be, we'll be a little wordy for the 00:08:13.778 --> 00:08:17.836 radio audience as the pitch swung out and far back counted the same two 00:08:17.869 --> 00:08:22.116 and two. Jim Newsom is the plate umpire Marty mcdonald with first Earl 00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:26.705 Yost of district seven at second base and Fletcher Harvey is at third base 00:08:26.738 --> 00:08:31.245 tonight. Four men in Blue for this college World Series. The 23rd annual 00:08:31.278 --> 00:08:34.907 LA Girl ready with a 22 pitch delivers in the dirt for ball three as he 00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:40.275 let up on a curve of the 23 years that the college World Series has been 00:08:40.308 --> 00:08:44.096 in existence. 20 of those years have been played right here in Omaha and 00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:46.336 Nebraskans are kind of proud of that. In fact, want to keep it here 00:08:46.369 --> 00:08:51.677 forever. The grove behind for the first time. Three and two. Here's the 00:08:51.710 --> 00:08:56.417 pitch swung and a miss for strike three and he retires the side. So the 00:08:56.450 --> 00:08:59.726 Violet in the first, no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left and to 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.946 start at the end of one half inning of play, the Violets nothing. The 00:09:02.979 --> 00:09:10.979 Devils yet to bat 00:09:16.928 --> 00:09:19.775 in the top of at the bottom of the first for the Devils. It'll be the 00:09:19.808 --> 00:09:25.206 three Ds, Debtor Dick and Dolans in that order, Roger Deter the very 00:09:25.239 --> 00:09:30.706 stable shortstop of the Sun Devils is the I believe, third leading hitter 00:09:30.739 --> 00:09:33.736 in the series. Let's pick out that particular statistic. No, he's the 00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:38.746 fourth John Dolan of Arizona State is the leading hitter averaging 583 in 00:09:38.779 --> 00:09:42.986 this college world series. Jim Kiss, who was the last man that Lares 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:46.467 struck out as the second leading hitter, Les Roger of Tulsa, the third cly 00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:49.856 ball and to right field, the wind playing havoc with it. Levine around 00:09:49.889 --> 00:09:55.349 circling and eventually makes the catch. That's a difficult thing to do. 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.840 Zetter flies to right for out number one as Fred Levine gave us a broadway 00:10:01.408 --> 00:10:06.316 shuffle out there coming up eventually with a fly ball draft dick who has 00:10:06.349 --> 00:10:14.349 had a not too happy World Series hitting only 167 but is 342 on the year 00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:18.407 anxious and ready to help the Devils here in their fifth World Series game 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.407 , Ellsworth Jones, the left hander delivers swung out on Miss for strike 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.196 one hit Jim Newsom right in the LA. We did not expect to see Jones start. 00:10:27.229 --> 00:10:32.096 As a matter of fact, he hurt his arm in the first game that he pitched 00:10:32.129 --> 00:10:36.856 back on Saturday and we expected to see a 6 ft six sophomore by the name 00:10:36.889 --> 00:10:41.866 of Tom Collins and we're not joking on the mound, but Jones decided he 00:10:41.899 --> 00:10:45.167 would go. He pitched seven and one third innings giving up five hits, 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.135 three runs and all of them earn. There's a pitch inside to Ralph Dick and 00:10:49.168 --> 00:10:53.717 even a count of the ball in a strike. 00:10:53.750 --> 00:10:58.635 He walked three and struck out six that action against Mississippi in 00:10:58.668 --> 00:11:02.807 total season. He's worked 59.5 innings giving up 28 hits, 14 runs, eight 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.717 of them earned walked 29 and struck out 56. The delivers swung on a line 00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:12.366 shot base hit to center field by Ralph Dick. 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.846 The first hit of the ball game and Ralph de Casa, John Dolan will step in 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.025 and the Devils of course, want to get something started right away. They 00:11:20.058 --> 00:11:25.025 jumped all over Tulsa 11 to 3 very convincingly. And the first time as it 00:11:25.058 --> 00:11:28.606 looked for a moment in the first two games of this college World Series 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.635 that the postman forgot to send their bats. They picked up some like they 00:11:33.668 --> 00:11:36.836 got one bat in the mail against Massachusetts about about four extra base 00:11:36.869 --> 00:11:41.037 hits in one inning, scoring four runs to down Massachusetts 4 to 2 after 00:11:41.070 --> 00:11:44.677 losing detectives 4 to 0 and beating UCL a 2 to 1 in extra innings. An 00:11:44.710 --> 00:11:52.710 inside pitch by Jones almost catches Dolak gets ball one inside 00:11:54.048 --> 00:11:57.515 there. You can see on the television screen. The runner at first base is 00:11:57.548 --> 00:12:01.976 Ralph Dick. The batter left handed batting left fielder John Dolan, the 00:12:02.009 --> 00:12:06.177 leading hitter in this 23rd annual college World Series. Here's the pitch 00:12:06.210 --> 00:12:10.217 by Jones Dolak checks the swing on a curveball takes the outside corner 00:12:10.250 --> 00:12:13.885 and it's a ball and a strike and he looks over at Bobby Winkles in the a 00:12:13.918 --> 00:12:18.986 su dugout along third baseline to say, what will I do? Now? 00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:22.775 There is some action in the bullpen for the Violet swung on and right at 00:12:22.808 --> 00:12:26.755 the bullpen but foul out of play one ball and two strikes. John out in 00:12:26.788 --> 00:12:31.407 front with that swing on a lazy curve. It's a right hander and it is Tom 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.037 Collins, the man that we had expected to start this ball game for the 00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:40.086 violence, a very cool ball club from New York. They were down. Two came 00:12:40.119 --> 00:12:43.106 back against Texas got two and they were a, they just worked very steadily 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:49.157 , eventually came on to win it. 3 to 2. Here's a throw to first base Ralph 00:12:49.190 --> 00:12:53.246 Dick back in plenty of time. Not a real anxious throw. Only one to let 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:57.986 Dick know that uh they are watching him and they will watch all the Devils. 00:12:58.019 --> 00:13:03.206 There have been 13 stolen bases in this world series, nine of them for 00:13:03.239 --> 00:13:06.927 the Devils. Another line shot foul down the right field line back up in 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.525 the bleachers. 00:13:09.558 --> 00:13:14.686 Dole's got a pretty swing in the series. Had a home run last night over 00:13:14.719 --> 00:13:19.076 the right center field fence. Paul Ray Powell had a home run over the left 00:13:19.109 --> 00:13:22.135 Senator Bill. Thanks 00:13:22.168 --> 00:13:27.407 one ball and two strikes. John Dosek Chokes up. Ellsworth delivers runner 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.427 moving grounder to the left side fielded by the second baseman, he's gonna 00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:36.005 race Dosek to the bag and do he beats him. The second baseman Laka had to 00:13:36.038 --> 00:13:39.846 move, fire to his left. Pick up the ball. The first baseman SEK had come 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.717 in overrun the ball had no chance to get to the ball. The pitcher covering 00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:49.106 would not have beaten Dolenz there. And so the second baseman Laka takes 00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:53.515 it unassisted. Dolan is out and on the play, Dick moves down to second 00:13:53.548 --> 00:13:56.956 base so they're two down, Ralph Dick, the runner at second base and Pr 00:13:56.989 --> 00:14:02.885 Paul Ray Powell is the batter and while he steps in the catcher, Tommy 00:14:02.918 --> 00:14:07.265 Barto goes out and has a word with Ellsworth Jones in case you joined us 00:14:07.298 --> 00:14:12.496 late wind 25 to 30 miles an hour reported by the weather bureau 00:14:12.529 --> 00:14:17.969 temperature 83 degrees outside and the humidity in the neighborhood of 40%. 00:14:18.750 --> 00:14:20.750 No score devils batting in the bottom of the first with a man at second 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:26.885 two down. Paul re swings at a slow curve strike one. 00:14:26.918 --> 00:14:32.775 We are 258 on the season but a 250 average here in four previous games in 00:14:32.808 --> 00:14:36.366 the college World Series. 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.866 Jones taking plenty of time. Violet pitcher with a stretch in the peek at 00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:43.635 Ralph Dick at second delivers, 00:14:43.668 --> 00:14:48.167 excuse me, it's a ball inside and low pr taking all the way and the cat is 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:53.797 even at one apiece on deck will be Billy Joe Cotton and what will appear 00:14:53.830 --> 00:14:59.826 to be to you a completely solid dirt uniform, John's ready. The stretch 00:14:59.859 --> 00:15:04.427 delivers way outside for a ball, two balls and one strike. There have been 00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:09.635 eight home runs in the college World series and the Devils have a pair two 00:15:09.668 --> 00:15:13.177 from Texas and Pat Brown and Dave Hall before they were sent home. Bob 00:15:13.210 --> 00:15:17.606 Hanson hit one off of Devil pitching for Massachusetts. Here's a pitch to 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.807 Paul Ray across the plate but very low and it runs the count to three and 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:25.316 one. Bob Blakely of Southern Illinois. Eddie mcclarty of Mississippi both 00:15:25.349 --> 00:15:29.706 hit theirs in the same game over the right center field fence. Roger 00:15:29.739 --> 00:15:34.746 Whittaker hit one for Tulsa against Texas with two R Jones ready. Here's 00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:38.427 the 3 to 1 count. It's swung on the ground to the left side deep in the 00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:41.226 hole at third. He'll not be able to make the play, knocks the ball down. 00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:45.015 Re Aito goes far to his right to knock it down. He cannot make the play 00:15:45.048 --> 00:15:48.956 however, and we'll see they scored a hit. Paul Ray Powell an infield 00:15:48.989 --> 00:15:52.981 single to the left side. Ray Ipolito, the shortstop going deep in the hole 00:15:53.014 --> 00:15:56.342 back on the grass, knocked the ball down, kept it in front of him, but 00:15:56.375 --> 00:16:00.092 obviously did not even throw and Paul Ra beats it up. Ralph Dick moves to 00:16:00.125 --> 00:16:04.691 third on a play. The Devils have two men aboard and here comes old pig pen 00:16:04.724 --> 00:16:09.672 number two, Billy Joe Cotton. A bases loaded single last night to give the 00:16:09.705 --> 00:16:14.645 Devils a three to nothing lead in the first inning hitting 250 for the 00:16:14.678 --> 00:16:18.635 series 337 on the season. Paul moving a grounder to the right side but 00:16:18.668 --> 00:16:22.385 right to the second baseman who was moving over to cover the play and the 00:16:22.418 --> 00:16:26.807 throw lata throws the step check in time and Cotton is on 4 to 3. The 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.125 Devils are retired in the first. No runs. There were two hits, there were 00:16:30.158 --> 00:16:33.385 no errors and two men left and the score at the end of one complete inning 00:16:33.418 --> 00:16:39.836 of play. The Devils nothing. The Violets nothing. 00:16:39.869 --> 00:16:43.677 Top of the second. And for the Violets of New York University, Rey Ipolito 00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:50.135 , Jeff Kalish and Joe Sefcik sounds like uh an Italian reunion and they're 00:16:50.168 --> 00:16:54.467 passing the spaghetti around the table and Polito the Kalish to se well, 00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:58.645 the SEC is a little different pitched by the Growers. An outside ball one 00:16:58.678 --> 00:17:04.127 , Lare is 12 and one on the season and he won a game here in the college 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.357 World Series. So he's 13 and one, an er, a of 2.42 fastball catches the 00:17:08.390 --> 00:17:13.906 outside corner and it's a called strike 11 and one 00:17:13.939 --> 00:17:15.915 visitors. 00:17:15.948 --> 00:17:20.835 The Violets in the gray uniforms with the purple pitched by Lares is 00:17:20.868 --> 00:17:24.105 another fastball and it just missed the outside corner and Billy Joe 00:17:24.138 --> 00:17:28.495 really wraps one back to him saying come on shape up two balls and one 00:17:28.528 --> 00:17:31.876 strike to lead off hitter for the Mi that Ray Polito here in the top of 00:17:31.909 --> 00:17:35.534 the second and the fastball misses outside and it's 3 to 1. And again, 00:17:35.567 --> 00:17:38.266 Lares is behind 00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:44.107 Bobby Winkles has set Larry Gura to pitch tomorrow's game. Should Le Gros 00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:48.397 become in any what sense of trouble today? Gura will come in today called 00:17:48.430 --> 00:17:53.607 strike. Fastball inside corner 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:59.585 is full three balls and two strikes to re Ipolito. 00:17:59.618 --> 00:18:03.686 The girl delivers, swung on a line drive to right field, Ralph Dick 00:18:03.719 --> 00:18:07.597 camping under it, moving right to left now has it for out number one, 00:18:07.630 --> 00:18:12.597 those have got to be tricky the wind as we've indicated to you, moves left 00:18:12.630 --> 00:18:18.107 to right across the outfield. And Rosenblatt Stadium is on a hill so that 00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:23.986 the wind is even more profuse here. 00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:28.956 That'll bring up Jeff Kalish, the third baseman Kalish hitting 293 on the 00:18:28.989 --> 00:18:33.085 season pitch called strike outside corner on a curveball. The girl looked 00:18:33.118 --> 00:18:35.147 good 00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:39.266 last night we had and I wish we had a videotape for you to see. We 00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:42.186 described it last night. Uh, there's a curveball that's outside and the 00:18:42.219 --> 00:18:46.815 count evens up at one and one. Kenny Hanson made a great defensive 00:18:46.848 --> 00:18:50.585 backhand stop on a line shot to him while he was on the mound, the ball 00:18:50.618 --> 00:18:53.256 wedged in between two fingers of the glove and he couldn't get the darn 00:18:53.289 --> 00:18:56.166 thing out. So he threw the glove to first base pitch swung out and missed 00:18:56.199 --> 00:19:00.467 strike two. We talk to him and if we find time a little bit later, we'll 00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:03.776 let you hear just exactly what Kenny said. It was, got to be the most 00:19:03.809 --> 00:19:08.387 unbelievable play in baseball. But thinking 00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:11.545 the girl ready with a 1 to 2 pitch, the lovers swung on a grounder to the 00:19:11.578 --> 00:19:16.137 left side, hopper to dinner to throw to Osborne in time. And Kalish is out 00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:23.815 number 22 up and two down and Joe Sec, here's the batter. I say SEK, the 00:19:23.848 --> 00:19:31.848 public address address announcer says SEK, but he spells it. Szewczyk 00:19:33.219 --> 00:19:36.226 gonna change his name. Here's the first pitch to the left-handed batting 00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:41.976 first baseman across the plate but low and it is vol 1306 on the season 00:19:42.009 --> 00:19:47.805 closed stands hands held high. Here's the girl's win pitch fouled up, back 00:19:47.838 --> 00:19:51.706 up over our head out of play. Cat is even of the ball and a strike no 00:19:51.739 --> 00:19:55.256 score in the ball game. The Violets of New York University batting in the 00:19:55.289 --> 00:19:59.815 top of the second inning. The Devils are the home team tonight on the 00:19:59.848 --> 00:20:04.035 third base side. Here's the pitch by Lares misses outside and it's two 00:20:04.068 --> 00:20:08.647 balls and one strike. And again, may I thank you on behalf of the entire 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.627 ball team and Bobby Winkles for the great telegrams that you've been 00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:15.647 sending them at the Blackstone. Here's La Grosse pitch, a line shot into 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.065 deep right field, but the wind's going to hold it up. Ralph Dick is right 00:20:19.098 --> 00:20:23.726 there and takes it for up number three, well, hit ball but that wind will 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.295 kill you. And for the Violets in the second, nothing across no runs, no 00:20:27.328 --> 00:20:30.325 hits, no errors. Nobody left on. And at the end of an inning and a half, 00:20:30.358 --> 00:20:36.176 it's the Sun Devils. Nothing. The Violets, nothing 00:20:36.209 --> 00:20:40.035 for those of you watching on television. The very top row are a su fans. 00:20:40.068 --> 00:20:42.877 You can see them clapping right there. A lot of them here and we're happy 00:20:42.910 --> 00:20:46.097 to have them. It's the bottom of the second inning. And for the Devils, 00:20:46.130 --> 00:20:51.295 it'll be Jeff O for Lenny Randall and Rick Valley in that order, Jeff 282 00:20:51.328 --> 00:20:54.266 on the season 231 00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:57.565 in World Series play left handed batting first baseman. The first pitch is 00:20:57.598 --> 00:21:01.906 a lazy curve inside corner called strike one. Jeff Kalish in on the grass 00:21:01.939 --> 00:21:05.847 a little bit. Now move back at third base thinking maybe that the leadoff 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.996 batter can, but here's the pitch by Jones. It's across the plate but low 00:21:10.029 --> 00:21:14.295 as Jones has a good motion. But, uh, it looks to me like the Devils can 00:21:14.328 --> 00:21:18.996 get to him. He just is a little slower than they're used to. Terrific wind 00:21:19.029 --> 00:21:22.607 here at Rosenblatt Stadium 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.085 as Jones delivers across the plate but high with a fastball and it's two 00:21:27.118 --> 00:21:31.986 balls and one strike to Osborne. 00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:36.676 He pitched only 59.5 innings for the total year which seems kind of funny 00:21:36.709 --> 00:21:39.516 to the Devil fans who are used to 100 plus there's a check swing, the 00:21:39.549 --> 00:21:44.776 curveball is outside and it's three balls and a strike. Lares worked 100 00:21:44.809 --> 00:21:50.785 and, uh, and a third leg. Gura worked 100 and 48. Uh, Kenny Hanson worked 00:21:50.818 --> 00:21:53.545 100 and 15, but of course, the Devils are the only team in the United 00:21:53.578 --> 00:21:59.097 States to ever win 54 ball games as a collegiate university. They've got 00:21:59.130 --> 00:22:04.666 54 3 times and they've tied the record last night inside for ball four and 00:22:04.699 --> 00:22:09.196 leadoff batter Jeff Osborne draws a walk. That's the first walk given up 00:22:09.229 --> 00:22:13.717 by Jones. He's allowed a pair of hits in the first inning to Ralph Dick 00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:17.236 and Paul Ray Powell but got out of the inning with any score. Lenny 00:22:17.269 --> 00:22:19.926 Randall who can move 00:22:19.959 --> 00:22:24.156 but hitting only 214 in the series will draw Jeff Kayla in a third. 00:22:24.189 --> 00:22:29.147 There's a throw to first Osborne back in plenty of time. Randall has 00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:32.535 connected with the ball very well in the last couple of games line shots 00:22:32.568 --> 00:22:35.686 down the left field line. Unfortunately, they were foul with the exception 00:22:35.719 --> 00:22:38.825 of one double, but he's really got good connection. Here's the pitch to 00:22:38.858 --> 00:22:42.847 him, check, swing outside and it's ball too. And Ellsworth Jones having a 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.805 little trouble and Tommy Collins the big right hander in the bullpen now 00:22:46.838 --> 00:22:52.456 working for Dave Violet. There's the runner at first base and Osborne 00:22:52.489 --> 00:22:55.357 Ellsworth Jones, the left handed pitcher taking a look at him, comes to 00:22:55.390 --> 00:23:00.117 the plate. Randall flapped it down the left field line 00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:04.897 and that's just exactly what Lenny Randall's been doing coming around real 00:23:04.930 --> 00:23:08.456 good on the ball, but they're just a little too far to the left. It's a 00:23:08.489 --> 00:23:14.936 long strike. The count is even up at one apiece. 00:23:14.969 --> 00:23:18.446 Osborne. The leadoff batter for the Devils is on first with a walk. No 00:23:18.479 --> 00:23:22.315 score in the ball game. Nobody out. Randall with a one on one. Cat Osborne 00:23:22.348 --> 00:23:26.696 with the lead. Jones R delivers Randall swings, pops it up to the left 00:23:26.729 --> 00:23:31.276 side. It is Kalish coming in coming in more now, moving to foul territory 00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:36.026 and he has it for out number one and those have just absolutely got to be 00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:38.867 tricky 00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:46.107 one away. Osborne holds first base and Rick Valley only 167 in the series. 00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:49.467 Only a freshman 00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:53.887 has the good arm and coach Bobby Winkles hoping for many good things in 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.387 the next two years from this young man. Here's the first pitch to him. 00:23:56.420 --> 00:24:00.166 Swung on a grounder to the left side. Could be two and Alito to Lata for 00:24:00.199 --> 00:24:05.217 one. The return to SEK is in the dirt and Valley is safe on the fielder's 00:24:05.250 --> 00:24:13.250 choice Valley forcing Jeff Osborne 6 to 4 for outnumber two and is safe at 00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:17.976 first on the fielder's charts. We'll bring up Laon Legree who is not 00:24:18.009 --> 00:24:21.916 afraid to take the crank of that ball. 00:24:21.949 --> 00:24:28.176 This uh New York University Club is the, has only three errors in the 00:24:28.209 --> 00:24:32.127 whole series and all of them in one game. So they played three games of 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.387 airless ball. First pitch of the gros is inside low for ball one. Let's 00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:43.147 look at our 1001 statistics here. There have been 43 errors in the World 00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:46.805 Series. Thus far, the Sun Devils have made six of those, but the Violets 00:24:46.838 --> 00:24:50.776 have only committed three and I believe all of them in a game against the 00:24:50.809 --> 00:24:55.516 Massachusetts. We'll check that out. Here's the pitch by Jones swung on by 00:24:55.549 --> 00:24:59.805 Lain fouled back on the ground of the screen and the cat is even at one on 00:24:59.838 --> 00:25:04.996 one as Gail Force wins threatened to take us to Iowa, which is not too far 00:25:05.029 --> 00:25:10.305 away. Let me tell you two down Rick Valley, the runner at first base 00:25:10.338 --> 00:25:13.647 Devils batting in the bottom of the second, no score and it's a line shot 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:19.776 to right field. It's going to curve foul. Levine has no chance to get it 00:25:19.809 --> 00:25:24.726 as that ball started out in fair territory by maybe 10 or 15 yards. But of 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.217 course, is a right handed batter spewing one to right field, which 00:25:28.250 --> 00:25:32.647 automatically gives it the inertia to move right. But with this win, it 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.436 just put it all the way into the bleachers, one ball and two strikes to 00:25:36.469 --> 00:25:41.916 Laon Legree who is hitting 261. Not bad for a pitcher but is zero for four 00:25:41.949 --> 00:25:46.377 in World Series competition. Ellsworth Jones ahead. The left hander looks 00:25:46.410 --> 00:25:49.785 down has the sign from Tommy Bartow checks. The runner Valley delivers the 00:25:49.818 --> 00:25:52.686 Lares swung on a line shot that's going to be in there for a base hit the 00:25:52.719 --> 00:25:56.496 one bound to the right fielder. The throw against the wind coming all the 00:25:56.529 --> 00:26:01.387 way to third base to Jeff Kalish and holding up at second base will be 00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:05.647 Rick Valley. So the pitcher Larry mcgraw helps his cause with hit number 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:11.189 three for the Devils and we go to the top of the order with Roger Dennis. 00:26:11.630 --> 00:26:13.630 The center has, as we said, tied a college World series marked by stealing 00:26:17.118 --> 00:26:23.107 five bases. He's tied with Bob Fry of Washington State. 00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:26.516 The Devils have some names in the record books. However, for the most 00:26:26.549 --> 00:26:32.176 serious hit Sal Bando stands alone at 12, Scott Reed with two others is 00:26:32.209 --> 00:26:36.795 tied for most RBS with 10. Here's the pitch by Jones, the debtor a shot in 00:26:36.828 --> 00:26:39.785 the short right coming in as Levine now moving over to his right, still 00:26:39.818 --> 00:26:43.996 moving and has it for out number three as debtor flies to right for the 00:26:44.029 --> 00:26:47.565 second time in two trips to the plate. The Devils are retired in the 00:26:47.598 --> 00:26:51.785 second with no runs on one hit. There were no airs and two men left and a 00:26:51.818 --> 00:26:57.670 score at the end of two complete the Devils. Nothing. The Violets, nothing. 00:27:07.689 --> 00:27:09.689 Laet Lata and Jones. That's the law firm that will bat for the Violets 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.926 here in the top of the third. John Latte takes a fastball across the plate 00:27:17.959 --> 00:27:22.996 for called strike one left handed batting left fielder slightly open 00:27:23.029 --> 00:27:26.617 stands. Lares ready delivers swung out and miss the fastball strike two 00:27:26.650 --> 00:27:31.055 and that ball goes back to Lares almost as fast as Billy Cotton received 00:27:31.088 --> 00:27:37.226 it. Oh and two Lares ahead the big right hander working pitches inside for 00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:45.259 a ball. 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:50.127 The girl beat UCL A in 11 innings by the score of 2 to 1. He worked pretty 00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.676 hard. There's a ball low inside the boot and the count is even up at two 00:27:53.709 --> 00:27:58.276 and two and he was a tired young man but he got four days rest and Bobby 00:27:58.309 --> 00:28:00.627 Winkles hopes that he'll be able to go through this entire game without 00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:04.946 any problems. Here's a 22 pitch ground ball, 12 hopper to Lenny Randall 00:28:04.979 --> 00:28:11.335 throw to Osborne in time and a lot of red is out. Number one, 00:28:11.368 --> 00:28:17.647 Lenny Randall in the Texas game made a fantastic grab of a line drive and 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:22.706 would and did save at least two runs. Uh, last night, Phil Honeycutt for 00:28:22.739 --> 00:28:25.446 the University of Tulsa made a grab that they call the best of the series 00:28:25.479 --> 00:28:31.285 , but we don't believe it. Here is Jim Leotta tries a push bunt down the 00:28:31.318 --> 00:28:35.906 first base line and it just looks almost like a hip rolling in foul 00:28:35.939 --> 00:28:43.939 territory for strike. Number one, 00:28:44.078 --> 00:28:49.526 Maata hitting 269 has 10 stolen bases so he can really move inside for a 00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:53.916 ball, backs him out of there. Maata is even at one apiece. 00:28:53.949 --> 00:28:57.877 The outfield is shallow both in center and in right because the wind is 00:28:57.910 --> 00:29:01.176 moving that way and if you get it up in the air, it's bound not to go as 00:29:01.209 --> 00:29:05.897 far as you'd like, there's a curveball missing and it runs the cap now to 00:29:05.930 --> 00:29:11.026 two balls and one strike one away. Nobody aboard for the Violets in the 00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:16.256 third. Debtor delivers 21 swung out a miss for strike two. And that is a 00:29:16.289 --> 00:29:20.406 fastball folks 00:29:20.439 --> 00:29:23.956 in case you joined us late. Rick Valley is at third Roger Deter at short, 00:29:23.989 --> 00:29:27.335 Lenny Randall at second, Jeff Osborne at first, John Du at second left, 00:29:27.368 --> 00:29:30.746 Paul Ray Powell in center and Ralph Dick and right. Larry Lares, the 00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:34.325 pitcher and Billy Cotton, the catcher, there's ball three, a curveball is 00:29:34.358 --> 00:29:39.476 outside and the count is full. Tom Collins and Cliff Vladi warming up. 00:29:39.509 --> 00:29:44.387 There's a pitch outside on a fastball and Licata draws a walk. That's the 00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:48.026 first walk given up by La Gros 00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:53.726 and that will bring to the plate. The pitcher Ellsworth Jones, 00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:59.377 let's see, as a hitter in 10 games and 22 at bats, he's picked up seven 00:29:59.410 --> 00:30:03.387 hits for a 3, 18 average. So you're not gonna be able to brush him off 00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:11.420 lightly. He's a good size boy. 62, about 2, 10. 00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:14.266 There's a stretch by the Grove Valley in, in the grass. There's the 00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:17.545 tempted bunt pulls his bat back but it's across the plate and it's called 00:30:17.578 --> 00:30:22.956 strike one valley moved in very quickly at third base Osborne holding the 00:30:22.989 --> 00:30:27.335 runner, Jim Lata. There la R again delivers quickly this time. It's a bunt. 00:30:27.368 --> 00:30:29.986 Osborne will take it in fair territory to throw to Randall in time to 00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:36.117 sacrifice works and Lata moves to second base 00:30:36.150 --> 00:30:40.147 score that 3 to 4. They're two down and we go to the top of the order and 00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:46.186 Fred Levine who flied to right hitting 3, 61 good hitter and some decent 00:30:46.219 --> 00:30:49.357 speed. 00:30:49.390 --> 00:30:54.476 Bean had uh eight stolen bases himself. 00:30:54.509 --> 00:31:02.509 36 hits and 96 at bats pitch fastball just misses inside. It's a ball. 00:31:05.368 --> 00:31:10.406 Larry Gura is standing by just in case but is scheduled to pitch 00:31:10.439 --> 00:31:14.325 tomorrow's game. Here's the girl's pitch swung on high fly ball to short 00:31:14.358 --> 00:31:18.226 right field. Ralph Dick coming in, calling away Lenny Randall on the run 00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:21.877 and takes it for out number three. 00:31:21.910 --> 00:31:25.726 Levine, the leadoff batter flies out to right twice just like deter did. 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.785 The Violets are retired with no runs, no hits, no errors and a man left 00:31:29.818 --> 00:31:33.717 and the score at the end of 2.5 innings of play. The Devils, nothing. The 00:31:33.750 --> 00:31:37.006 Violets, nothing. 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:45.039 Ok. 00:31:45.108 --> 00:31:49.325 As we indicated to you earlier, we did not expect Ellsworth Jones to start. 00:31:49.358 --> 00:31:53.367 He has come out of the game and the man we did expect to start Tom 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:59.565 Collins, a 6 ft 6 £200 junior is the man who was on the mound. Now, in the 00:31:59.598 --> 00:32:03.387 college World Series, he's already worked one game, working nine innings 00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:06.325 giving up eight hits, two runs, both of which were earned, walk to pair 00:32:06.358 --> 00:32:12.946 and struck out 10 against Massachusetts and he won it six and one for the 00:32:12.979 --> 00:32:18.377 total season with an, er, a of around 2.47. Worked in a total of 62 00:32:18.410 --> 00:32:22.627 innings this season and he's a big size Stella leading off will be Ralph 00:32:22.660 --> 00:32:28.137 Dick who swings and fouls it back to the screen for strike 1345 00:32:28.170 --> 00:32:33.156 as the Ralph picked up a bingo back in the first a line drive base single 00:32:33.189 --> 00:32:39.456 to straightaway center field. It's still wowing them up with the win. You 00:32:39.489 --> 00:32:42.936 can occasionally hear it really buff at our area. Here's the one strike 00:32:42.969 --> 00:32:46.946 pitch to Ralph Dick swung on a Baltimore chop one hopper easy to the third 00:32:46.979 --> 00:32:51.295 baseman Kalish who throws a little inside, but Sefcik pulls it down and 00:32:51.328 --> 00:32:54.967 Ralph Dick is out number one, 00:32:55.000 --> 00:33:00.085 one up and one down and John Dulany 00:33:00.118 --> 00:33:05.555 who grounded out to the second baseman unassisted if you can feature that 00:33:05.588 --> 00:33:10.186 coming into tonight's game was leading the college World Series in hitting 00:33:10.219 --> 00:33:15.256 with a three, a 583 average. And that's fantastic. John has just put the 00:33:15.289 --> 00:33:19.026 ball everywhere four for five last night, home run over the right center 00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:21.717 field fence. He also had a pair of doubles. Here's the first pitch to him 00:33:21.750 --> 00:33:25.367 , a little number to the right side pitcher coming over, takes it and will 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.887 go unassisted. So Dolan has been put out twice, unassisted the first time 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.976 to the second baseman and now to the pitcher in Phoenix, Kool AM and FM 00:33:36.009 --> 00:33:41.397 Stereo field hit the deep shortstop back in the first inning. Pr one 00:33:41.430 --> 00:33:45.156 pumped one out of here before. For those of you on television, you saw the 00:33:45.189 --> 00:33:51.315 flag moving left to right and now a little bit to straightaway center, 00:33:51.348 --> 00:33:55.117 Tom Collins, you gotta have some courage to name your son that there's a 00:33:55.150 --> 00:34:03.150 pitch nub foul back to the screen at S A strike. 00:34:04.848 --> 00:34:07.656 It's been a great week in Omaha. The people here have been absolutely 00:34:07.689 --> 00:34:11.175 great to the team and our team as Bobby puts it, here's the one strike 00:34:11.208 --> 00:34:15.486 pitch swung on and fouled out of play. Strike. Two Bobby puts it I think 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:20.026 are a great bunch of kids. Uh There is old number one on the dugout and 00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:22.796 there are more than that. There are great competitors, they are great kids 00:34:22.829 --> 00:34:26.236 and a lot of gentlemen on the squad too. A lot of folks at the Blackstone 00:34:26.269 --> 00:34:29.626 Hotel commenting on how good our kids are. Here's the zero and two pitch, 00:34:29.659 --> 00:34:34.095 the pr A L shot base hit into left field that may go for extra bases all 00:34:34.128 --> 00:34:38.217 around 2nd, 1st base on his way to second to throw. Not in time, stand up 00:34:38.250 --> 00:34:46.250 , double. 00:34:48.228 --> 00:34:53.615 That's the first hit off of the big youngster Collins. That is Paul Ray's 00:34:53.648 --> 00:35:00.046 20th double. He set a record as you know, with 19. And ironically, John 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.467 Delek came along and broke the previous record set by Jan Clement and 00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:06.776 Rondo Mini in the same season. So the Devils have a runner at second base 00:35:06.809 --> 00:35:10.416 and Billy Joe Cotton Nevada, the big right hander will work from the 00:35:10.449 --> 00:35:16.206 stretch. Here's the pitch, a foul ball to the left side. It'll be not 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:20.497 fielded by Jaco Smither, 00:35:20.530 --> 00:35:25.977 one of the original odd couple here in Omaha Nebraska. He rooms with the 00:35:26.010 --> 00:35:29.066 SARS. We made mention of that a couple of nights ago and the reason we 00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:31.816 call him the odd couple is they have all the equipment in their room and 00:35:31.849 --> 00:35:36.396 it really looks like that apartment did one strike count to Billy Joe Paul 00:35:36.429 --> 00:35:40.195 Ray with the lead at second base. Collins delivers inside and high for 00:35:40.228 --> 00:35:44.456 ball. 11 and one, no score in the ball game. Devil batting in the bottom 00:35:44.489 --> 00:35:46.767 of the third. 00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:52.267 They beat Mississippi 8 to 3. Massachusetts 9 to 2 and Texas 3 to 2 but 00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:56.816 lost to Tulsa while the Devils lost to Texas beat UCL A Massachusetts and 00:35:56.849 --> 00:36:00.486 Tulsa last night, 11 to 3 pitch swung on fouled to the right out of play 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.736 one ball and two strikes. 00:36:04.769 --> 00:36:08.977 Ellsworth Jones was the starter. The Devils did not chase him but in the 00:36:09.010 --> 00:36:12.615 first game, as we indicated to you, he had armed trouble and they were not 00:36:12.648 --> 00:36:16.206 going to start him. He obviously pleaded for the action. Got it and then 00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:18.986 said that he could not go through it. And Collins now has relieved him 00:36:19.019 --> 00:36:23.936 here in the third pitch to Cotton Claire ball just misses inside and it's 00:36:23.969 --> 00:36:29.695 even up at two and two brownie wanted to wash the uniforms. But number 22 00:36:29.728 --> 00:36:36.166 down there BJ said nothing doing folks. I'm wearing this right to the end. 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:40.316 Here's the stretch by the big youngster. Right-hander delivers pop. It's 00:36:40.349 --> 00:36:43.986 a pop up to the right side. First baseman chef going back in pop territory 00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:49.787 that win. He did not see the, he did not see the grandstand and ran right 00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:54.905 into it. That ball kept his attention so much that he kept looking up 00:36:54.938 --> 00:36:57.936 trying to get it. It looked like he had a very good chance to get it, but 00:36:57.969 --> 00:37:01.267 the wind kept blowing it and blowing it and he kept chasing it. And by the 00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:04.986 time he got to the little pipe rail in front of the grandstand, he bumped 00:37:05.019 --> 00:37:08.557 right into it. Took him a moment. I believe he's going to be all right. He 00:37:08.590 --> 00:37:12.706 shook it off. First base umpire Marty mcdonough was there to take a look 00:37:12.739 --> 00:37:15.776 at it. He says he's all right. He's back in position. So it's two balls 00:37:15.809 --> 00:37:20.615 and two strikes. BJ Cotton still up there. The only Nebraskan in the whole 00:37:20.648 --> 00:37:25.336 tournament. Here's the pitch in the dirt for ball. Three, Billy watches 00:37:25.369 --> 00:37:32.577 them all from mccook, Nebraska, thriving community of five, I believe. Now 00:37:32.610 --> 00:37:35.405 that Billy's moved out 00:37:35.438 --> 00:37:41.416 wooed by the athletics once and by the Mets twice. Great arm, second 00:37:41.449 --> 00:37:46.026 string all American. And believe me, we think that maybe he had not, Gura 00:37:46.059 --> 00:37:48.865 and Powell made it that he had been on there too. Three and two pitch 00:37:48.898 --> 00:37:53.477 swung on a foul back out of play half the same three and two Devils have 00:37:53.510 --> 00:37:58.717 had quite a few all Americans in the past. Back in 63 it was Sterling 00:37:58.750 --> 00:38:03.807 slaughter. 64 skip Hancock on the second team in 65 Rick Monday and Louis 00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:09.566 Laguna and John Pavlik was on the second team in 66 Reggie Jackson Collins 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.787 ready. 32 delivers inside ball four. I believe Joe gets a walk. So Cotton 00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:18.307 has good eyes as well as he had a two strike count and worked Collins for 00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:21.146 the walk. 00:38:21.179 --> 00:38:24.546 That's the first walk given up by Collins the second Devil to get the base 00:38:24.579 --> 00:38:29.195 in this game. By that route, Devils have two runners on and Jeff Osborne 00:38:29.228 --> 00:38:33.727 who got a pair of hits thus far in the series and who probably was the 00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:38.276 recipient of the freakiest play in baseball. Here's the pitch by Collins. 00:38:38.309 --> 00:38:43.425 A curveball is outside. It's ball one 00:38:43.458 --> 00:38:48.655 that was unbelievable. Hanson just got the ball wedged in his glove and 00:38:48.688 --> 00:38:52.336 threw him the glove what are you going to do? Hanson's remark was said, 00:38:52.369 --> 00:38:56.115 how can they give me an error? It was a good throw. 00:38:56.148 --> 00:38:59.307 One strike count. That was a strike. I know it's a ball. They've changed 00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:03.026 it. Now, here's the next pitch. A pop up to the left side. Kalish chasing 00:39:03.059 --> 00:39:06.586 towards the devil dug out just in front of it. I cannot see. Did he catch 00:39:06.619 --> 00:39:12.807 it? No, it is a foul ball and the count is even at one apiece, 00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:16.845 one ball and one strike. Jeff Osborne with Powell of second base and 00:39:16.878 --> 00:39:23.019 Cotton at first two down Devils batting in the third inning with no score. 00:39:23.728 --> 00:39:25.728 Gary Gentry and Scott Reed made all Americans for the Devils back in 67. 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:32.236 Freddie Nelson was alone Sun Devil in 68 and this year, Paul Ray Powell 00:39:32.269 --> 00:39:35.655 and Larry go first team and Billy Joe Cotton's second team. And as we 00:39:35.688 --> 00:39:39.836 indicated to you had the Devils not already had two great on the first 00:39:39.869 --> 00:39:43.977 team. It looked to us that Cotton could have made it 211 coming inside 00:39:44.010 --> 00:39:48.546 throw down to first base and Cotton back in time and Tommy vow is not 00:39:48.579 --> 00:39:52.445 afraid to throw that ball around. SEK was just a little bit too far and 00:39:52.478 --> 00:39:58.566 back of first place to make a good play and barow probably not too weary 00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:03.425 of Cotton speed and Billy hasn't 00:40:03.458 --> 00:40:07.405 two balls and one strike to Osborne left-handed batting first baseman 00:40:07.438 --> 00:40:10.327 would like very much to put the Devils on the scoreboard has two runners 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:15.017 aboard pitch and the dirt. Tommy Barto makes a nice stop. The runners will 00:40:15.050 --> 00:40:19.905 not advance but it's ball three and now a little action in the bullpen 00:40:19.938 --> 00:40:24.256 down the first base line for the Violets. 00:40:24.289 --> 00:40:29.885 We'll check the numbers as we get them. It is Cliff Vlade, a right hander. 00:40:29.918 --> 00:40:34.247 Here's the 31 pitch to Jeff swung on, popped up to the left side, the 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:38.206 shut up, going back on the grass in short left field and takes it for out. 00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:42.885 Number three for the Devils. In the third inning. There were no runs, one 00:40:42.918 --> 00:40:47.227 hit, no errors in the field and two men left and to score at the end of 00:40:47.260 --> 00:40:53.155 three complete innings of play. The Devils, nothing. The Violet Le uh, I'm 00:40:53.188 --> 00:41:01.188 afraid catch his mind. Got Barto Kits and Hipolito swung out and missed 00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:07.577 for strike one and he's mad at himself because the curveball was outside 00:41:07.610 --> 00:41:14.077 LA LA girl working in his fourth ending in this game and in his 15th 00:41:14.110 --> 00:41:16.865 inning in college World Series competition, there's a fastball. They 00:41:16.898 --> 00:41:21.026 really flail. It got by Billy Joe Cotton back to the screen and the car is 00:41:21.059 --> 00:41:25.956 even up at one apiece. No score in the ball game. The Violets of New York 00:41:25.989 --> 00:41:31.767 University who have come to the college World Series for only their I 00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:35.296 believe, second try. We'll check that and not since no, it's their third 00:41:35.329 --> 00:41:42.186 time and not since 1956 our surprise third place finisher. They certainly 00:41:42.219 --> 00:41:45.626 were not expected to make it. And, uh, very few times have they come? I 00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:50.077 swung on and filed back to the screen and while we were jabbering there, 00:41:50.110 --> 00:41:54.845 another one went by for a ball. So the count is all even up at two and two 00:41:54.878 --> 00:41:59.345 V hitting 270. You hear an occasional cheer in between pitches, 00:41:59.378 --> 00:42:03.327 particularly after a foul ball. That will be for the ball boy who runs out 00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:07.026 there and catches him as they dribble down the screen. 22 curveball inside 00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:12.115 ball. Three 00:42:12.148 --> 00:42:17.086 devils want this one very much and Laon, the girl wants to give it to him 00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:22.046 the big right-hander anxious to work. Here comes the 3 to 2 pitch just 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.586 missed the outside corner ball four, 00:42:27.619 --> 00:42:32.356 walk number two given up by Lares and the 00:42:32.389 --> 00:42:37.467 New York University ball club who just is very cool out there and very 00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:42.135 steady has leadoff batter on first base with their third hitter, Jimmy 00:42:42.168 --> 00:42:46.227 Kishi, a line shot to left field base hit one hopper Solok fielding the 00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:49.546 ball. The throw will come to third base and stopping at second will be 00:42:49.579 --> 00:42:51.986 Bartone 00:42:52.019 --> 00:42:57.046 and that's the very first hit given up by Larry La Gros, 00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:03.106 a single to left field on the fly. Vau moves to second base git at first 00:43:03.139 --> 00:43:07.905 and the batter will be the cleanup hitter, Ray Ipolito. Well, a good, good 00:43:07.938 --> 00:43:14.436 place now for a double play. The Devils lead the other seven teams in this 00:43:14.469 --> 00:43:18.796 series with six Osborne coming in first. The pitch is called strike on the 00:43:18.829 --> 00:43:24.217 inside corner. A fastball. Both Valley is coming in at third and Osborne 00:43:24.250 --> 00:43:28.086 at first 00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.865 with nobody down. The thought of course would be to sacrifice the runners 00:43:31.898 --> 00:43:35.517 around called strike on the outside corner and the girl has worked both 00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:40.626 the inside and outside corners very well on Re Ipolito, Ipolito applied to 00:43:40.659 --> 00:43:45.436 right and his other appearance back in the second inning, right handed 00:43:45.469 --> 00:43:50.267 batting shortstop. There's a stretch by the gra delivers fastball swung on 00:43:50.300 --> 00:43:54.856 but not enough and it'll be a ball did not break his wrists. Jimmy Newsom 00:43:54.889 --> 00:43:58.037 that played on fire for a goodly percentage of the games here at 00:43:58.070 --> 00:44:03.896 Rosenblatt says no, no one ball, two strikes, nobody down. The Violets are 00:44:03.929 --> 00:44:08.695 growing too out there and Barto at second and kits at first swung out to 00:44:08.728 --> 00:44:12.227 miss strike three, 00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:17.526 strikeout number two for Le Gros out number one for the Violets and Jeff 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:24.925 Kalish, the third baseman will step in. Doty says he's hitting 289 and we 00:44:24.958 --> 00:44:29.686 can vouch for it because he has his slide rule 00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:33.385 one away. Now, still two Violets on base. The girl with the stretch 00:44:33.418 --> 00:44:38.586 delivers inside corner called strike as Kalish put his arms in the air and 00:44:38.619 --> 00:44:44.885 tried to back out of there, but it caught the corner. 00:44:44.918 --> 00:44:48.276 Here's the stretch by Lares and the peak at the runner delivers grounder 00:44:48.309 --> 00:44:52.517 to the left side, deter has to move, go to Randall in time and he is taken 00:44:52.550 --> 00:44:56.736 out of the play very nicely by Jim Kits who broke up the possible double 00:44:56.769 --> 00:44:59.115 play. 00:44:59.148 --> 00:45:04.166 So Kayla, you safe on a fielder's choice at first base. Cardi forced out 6 00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:10.336 to 4 at second. They're two down on the play. Barto moves to third base 00:45:10.369 --> 00:45:15.747 and the batter will be Joe sep 301 on the season close stance, left handed 00:45:15.780 --> 00:45:20.077 batting first baseman Lares stretches peaks at the runner delivers outside 00:45:20.110 --> 00:45:24.756 and high for a ball. 00:45:24.789 --> 00:45:30.006 Jeff Kalish father used to live in Phoenix, Arizona. Here's the pitch by 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:34.236 the girl high fly ball to right field. Coming on is the right fielder, 00:45:34.269 --> 00:45:39.577 Ralph Dick waiting and has it for out number three. So for the Violets in 00:45:39.610 --> 00:45:43.577 the fourth, they got no runs on one hit. There were no devil errors and 00:45:43.610 --> 00:45:47.655 two men left and the score at the end of 3.5 innings of play. The devil's 00:45:47.688 --> 00:45:53.646 nothing. The Violets, nothing. 00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:56.925 Well, the devils want to get somebody home here. They've stranded six men 00:45:56.958 --> 00:46:01.256 so far in the ball game two in each inning. They have not been able to put 00:46:01.289 --> 00:46:05.626 anybody across the plate. They've been able to hit the Violet pitching. Um 00:46:05.659 --> 00:46:09.626 That's kind of psychedelic hurling, I guess of some sort. Got to Jones for 00:46:09.659 --> 00:46:13.365 three before he got out of there actually took himself out because his arm 00:46:13.398 --> 00:46:17.195 hurt, but they could not score against him. And now Collins has come in in 00:46:17.228 --> 00:46:21.236 the third and they got a double and a walk off him but could not score. 00:46:21.269 --> 00:46:23.566 And Lenny Randall will lead it off for the Devils in the bottom of the 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:30.077 fourth, Lenny 231 on the season. Ken Bunt has good speed. Third baseman in. 00:46:30.110 --> 00:46:35.506 Here's the pitch by Collin swung on and missed strike one on a curve. 00:46:35.539 --> 00:46:41.497 It's still really winging them up with the wind out there 25 to 30 MPH and 00:46:41.530 --> 00:46:45.456 it's really moving. It's a little cooler however than it's been all day. 00:46:45.489 --> 00:46:49.369 It was in the eighties pitch high five.
