They will counter with Larry Gura 00:02:07.525 --> 00:02:11.941 Collegiate baseball's winning pitcher with 18 wins and two losses from 00:02:11.974 --> 00:02:15.721 Joliet Illinois senior. He lost to Texas in the open and then came back to 00:02:15.754 --> 00:02:20.522 beat Tulsa in relief. He is going to work with just a day's rest, uh, 00:02:20.555 --> 00:02:24.382 perhaps, maybe a little bit more than a day's rest. We'll be back with 00:02:24.415 --> 00:02:30.245 more of this action after this commercial message 59 minutes past the hour 00:02:30.278 --> 00:02:35.416 of five o'clock. And you're listening to the Arizona State University 00:02:35.449 --> 00:02:40.696 Baseball Network, we'll be joining Bob Davies at Omaha in just a second 00:02:40.729 --> 00:02:45.696 with the final game.

So if you'd like to watch it on channel 10 do so 00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:05.666 well, the weather man has done an about face like he is much accustomed to 00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:11.525 here in Omaha, it is 69 degrees outside. 36%. The relative humidity 00:03:11.558 --> 00:03:16.406 reading and the wind from the southeast and occasional gusts up to six MPH. 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.906 And for those of you watching on television, you could see of course, 00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:22.797 that the center field flag, the United States flag was not moving very 00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:27.292 much. Here are the starting line ups for the Tulsa Hurricane leading off 00:03:27.325 --> 00:03:30.882 and playing left field, Roger Whittaker hitting second and in center field 00:03:30.915 --> 00:03:36.493 , Tom Jenkins hitting third and playing third base. Les Rogers hitting 00:03:36.526 --> 00:03:41.612 cleanup and playing first base, Steve Cave catching and hitting fifth, Bob 00:03:41.645 --> 00:03:46.612 Murphy hitting sixth and playing second base Roger Adams hitting seventh 00:03:46.645 --> 00:03:51.748 and playing shortstop Phil Honeycutt in right field hitting eighth, Larry 00:03:51.781 --> 00:03:56.849 Bird and the pitcher for the Hurricanes is Steve Rogers eight wins and no 00:03:56.882 --> 00:04:00.539 losses for the Devils. It will be better leading off and playing short, 00:04:00.572 --> 00:04:05.238 Ralph Dick hitting second in right field. John Dunn will be hitting third 00:04:05.271 --> 00:04:10.289 and playing left Paul Ray Powell, the clean up hitter in center field in 00:04:10.322 --> 00:04:13.958 the fifth position in the batting order. Capture Billy Joe Cotton hitting 00:04:13.991 --> 00:04:18.375 sixth and playing first base will be Jeff Osborne hitting seventh and 00:04:18.408 --> 00:04:22.015 playing second base will be Lenny Randall in the eighth position and 00:04:22.048 --> 00:04:25.106 playing third base defensively will be Rick Valley and of course the 00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:29.755 pitcher Larry Gura Batteries for the levels Cotton catching and Gura 00:04:29.788 --> 00:04:33.986 pitching as Steve Whitaker steps in and we're about ready to begin this 00:04:34.019 --> 00:04:40.075 game for all the marbles here in the 23rd annual college World Series. The 00:04:40.108 --> 00:04:43.116 Devils are the home team 00:04:43.149 --> 00:04:47.697 and of course, are in their traveling grays 00:04:47.730 --> 00:04:50.245 are in there. Then there are whites, I should say. I thought of hurricanes 00:04:50.278 --> 00:04:53.486 are in their graves which almost look a little blue from here. Girl ready 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.967 with the first pitch to Whitaker. I popped up to better at shortstop, 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.926 moving over a little bit to his left for second base. So has it for our 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.387 number one. 00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:07.786 So Whitaker swings on the first ball pitch by Larry Gura and he'd be happy 00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:12.346 if all the Hurricanes would do that pops up to deter. He is out number one 00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:16.786 and the left handed batting center fielder, Tom Jenkins punch down a third 00:05:16.819 --> 00:05:20.805 base line. G field to throw in time to Osborne and he's out of there. G 00:05:20.838 --> 00:05:25.286 made a very good move coming straight towards the dugout towards the third 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.476 base line fielded. It turned and threw the Osborne low, but he picked it 00:05:28.509 --> 00:05:33.166 up and Jenkins is out number two on two pitches. 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.976 Well, Tulsa is helping Rod Larry Gura on two pitches. He has two outs and 00:05:39.009 --> 00:05:42.796 of course, as we mentioned a moment ago, he has not had much rest after 00:05:42.829 --> 00:05:46.245 losing the opener to Texas, he's appeared two times in release. Les Rogers 00:05:46.278 --> 00:05:49.705 steps in first pitch has popped up to the right side that could be retired 00:05:49.738 --> 00:05:52.745 on three outside for making the run in foul territory. He has it for out 00:05:52.778 --> 00:05:57.486 number three. 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.825 So it couldn't be any quicker. And Larry Gura comes in after three pitches 00:06:01.858 --> 00:06:05.325 and after one half inning of play, no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody 00:06:05.358 --> 00:06:13.358 left and the score. The Devils, nothing. The Hurricanes, nothing. 00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:22.317 Well, that happened. He went by so quickly, we almost didn't get a chance 00:06:22.350 --> 00:06:26.176 to tell you what happened on three straight pitches. The Tulsa Hurricanes 00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:31.416 go out 123 Whitaker popping to debtor at short and then Tom Jenkins going 00:06:31.449 --> 00:06:35.950 grounding out uh Gura to Osborne and Les Rogers popping up to Osborne in 00:06:35.983 --> 00:06:40.770 foul territory, 123 for the Devils in the bottom half of the first inning. 00:06:40.803 --> 00:06:45.180 The three Ds Roger Deter Ralph Dick and John Dolan in that order, of 00:06:45.213 --> 00:06:49.640 course, the big concern for the Devils and head coach Bobby Winkles was 00:06:49.673 --> 00:06:53.717 that since Larry has pitched three times this week, whether or not he 00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:58.856 would be able to not only pitch tonight but go very far and the Hurricanes 00:06:58.889 --> 00:07:03.265 help him out right in the first by going down in order 123. Roger Detter 00:07:03.298 --> 00:07:07.887 stepping in. He has set a college World Series mark by stealing bases. A 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.055 one hopper to the third baseman. Rogers keeps it in front of him on a 00:07:11.088 --> 00:07:15.906 bounce, picks it up again and fires to Steve Cave. The first baseman Roger 00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:20.976 Detter goes out on the first ball pitch. 5 to 3. 00:07:21.009 --> 00:07:26.257 Rogers has had full four days of rest. He is a slight right hander at 100 00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:30.786 and 65 pitched seven and one third hitless innings against the University 00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:36.575 of Texas pitched to Dick as a curveball missing inside for ball. One come 00:07:36.608 --> 00:07:40.645 on the Hurricanes. On the other hand, are depending very much on this 00:07:40.678 --> 00:07:44.757 young man since the Devils have seen almost all their other pitchers and 00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:47.856 bombarded them on Wednesday night. There's a fastball strike on the 00:07:47.889 --> 00:07:51.106 outside corner, Ralph Dick taking all the way. The count is even at one 00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:57.187 apiece. This is for all the marbles. The 1969 NCAA championship. The 00:07:57.220 --> 00:08:02.176 Devils attempting to make it on every other year. They won in 65 and 67 00:08:02.209 --> 00:08:05.007 would like to take this one home. The pitch. Dick swings and misses a 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.937 fastball strike two 00:08:07.970 --> 00:08:13.086 again. May we thank you for the many, many telegrams over 100 today alone 00:08:13.119 --> 00:08:18.296 including Barry Goldwater, Barry Goldwater, Jr Paul Fanon John Rhodes, 00:08:18.329 --> 00:08:22.717 Senator Kyl Hayden, Steve Allen. Many, many fastball is a called strike 00:08:22.750 --> 00:08:26.796 three that got your drop the ball. The throw is in plenty of time. Ralph 00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:30.736 Dick is out number two, first strikeout for Rogers. The Devils have two 00:08:30.769 --> 00:08:36.496 times and John Dolak stepping in 00:08:36.529 --> 00:08:42.446 Golden Sachs has had a very good series. He has in 16 at bats hit safely 00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:48.366 seven times, scored six runs and has four RBIs leads world series hitters 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:56.167 with an average of 438 pitch swung on a missed strike one. 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.157 They said in the beginning that Rogers was a junk pitcher that is that he 00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:03.917 throws a lot of cute curves and motions, but he's used the fastball very 00:09:03.950 --> 00:09:07.206 effectively here in the opening moment. Swung out a miss by Don looked 00:09:07.239 --> 00:09:12.586 like a meer and it's no balls and two strikes as Rogers quickly gets ahead 00:09:12.619 --> 00:09:16.336 of the left handed batting left fielder John has had the good swing in the 00:09:16.369 --> 00:09:18.576 series. 00:09:18.609 --> 00:09:22.667 Stands in ready to take O and two. Rogers has a sign for Bob Murphy right 00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:28.706 hand of the livers on affect swings and this is like three 00:09:28.739 --> 00:09:32.336 well for the Devils in the first three up and three down, no runs, no hits 00:09:32.369 --> 00:09:35.807 , no errors and nobody left and the score at the end of one complete 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.657 inning of play. The Devils nothing. The Hurricanes, nothing. 00:09:41.690 --> 00:09:48.927 Mm, 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.907 Steve caves the cleanup hitter for the Tulsa Hurricane steps in right 00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:58.436 handed batter hitting 273 on the season. Takes the ball inside. Gura has 00:09:58.469 --> 00:10:03.407 worked in 12 innings in this college World Series. He worked five innings 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.226 in the opener against Texas which he lost last Friday. Here's the pitch 00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:10.206 cade checks the swing on a fastball that fall two and Cotton fires the 00:10:10.239 --> 00:10:14.076 ball back to girl. He then worked two and a third innings against 00:10:14.109 --> 00:10:17.736 Massachusetts. They save and then came back to work four and two thirds 00:10:17.769 --> 00:10:20.706 against TTA for the win line shot into right center field. The ball is 00:10:20.739 --> 00:10:23.486 gonna be in there for extra bases. Ralph Dick giving chase all the way to 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.907 the fence, standard 70 ft away, digging around second. Here's a throw 00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:34.940 coming into Randall. He'll be in at third base with a stand up triple. 00:10:45.649 --> 00:10:50.625 That ball was very nicely placed. Paul Ray Powell had moved over a little 00:10:50.658 --> 00:10:54.677 bit to left center and caves the clean up hitter, put it right between him 00:10:54.710 --> 00:10:59.186 all the way to the fence. 380 ft away, the pitch swung on and filed back 00:10:59.219 --> 00:11:04.066 to the screen by Bob Murphy. The catcher nobody away as Steve caves 00:11:04.099 --> 00:11:08.996 triples to right center and the Hurricanes have a runner at third base. 00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:13.635 Larry Gura checks the runner. Here's the pitch curveball hangs high and 00:11:13.668 --> 00:11:17.677 it's a ball and a strike. Well, there was no doubt about that one. He 00:11:17.710 --> 00:11:24.895 really lambasted it one and one girl working for the first time in trouble. 00:11:24.928 --> 00:11:28.446 The left hander ready delivers one on one across the plate but low ball 00:11:28.479 --> 00:11:33.856 two and Bob Murphy taking 00:11:33.889 --> 00:11:38.047 Gura has worked 100 and 48 innings, not including the college World Series. 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.807 Here's the two ball, one strike pitch swung on fouled back to the screen. 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:45.177 The count even two and two 00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:50.956 fly ball would not automatically score. Caves from third base. There are 00:11:50.989 --> 00:11:55.275 three good arms in the double outfield. Here's a 22 pit curveball line 00:11:55.308 --> 00:11:59.096 shot gets by the third baseman Valley. He'll have to go to the base hit. 00:11:59.129 --> 00:12:07.129 Caves will score easily. 00:12:08.349 --> 00:12:13.106 A line shot to Rick Valley at third base will be scored as a base hit. He 00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:18.265 could not get to it. The ball was hit very well. Steve came at third base 00:12:18.298 --> 00:12:22.686 held up momentarily thinking maybe Bali had a play and then came on to 00:12:22.719 --> 00:12:27.145 score and the Hurricanes lead it one to nothing here in the second inning. 00:12:27.178 --> 00:12:31.255 Still nobody out. Here's the pitch. They bumped in the air picked off by 00:12:31.288 --> 00:12:36.895 Guru and Murphy will have time to scamper back to first base. Roger Adams 00:12:36.928 --> 00:12:42.297 attempts to sacrifice bunt and pops up to Guru for out number one and 00:12:42.330 --> 00:12:45.976 Murphy holds first base 00:12:46.009 --> 00:12:50.826 action in the bullpen for Arizona State is another left hander freshman, 00:12:50.859 --> 00:12:55.635 Jimmy Crawford. There's the runner at first base and Bob Murphy, Phil Hke 00:12:55.668 --> 00:12:59.596 , the shortstop up 268 on the season stretched by G. The peak of the 00:12:59.629 --> 00:13:05.927 runner delivers inside night stop by Billy Joe and it's ball one. Larry 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.606 does not, does not have the stuff he had Wednesday night and with good 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:15.486 reason, he has worked three times already for a total of 12 innings. 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:19.417 There's a stretch, here's the pitch file back to the screen and the count 00:13:19.450 --> 00:13:23.287 is even one ball and one strike. But as we've told you all season long, 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.677 this young man gets stronger as the game goes on and if in the early going 00:13:27.710 --> 00:13:31.547 , he is a little shaky. Usually he can pull himself out of it. Girl 00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:35.186 stretches the peak at Murphy. Here's the pitch front right in front of the 00:13:35.219 --> 00:13:39.635 plate caught very nicely by Billy Joe the third of Billy. So it's a double 00:13:39.668 --> 00:13:46.005 play 00:13:46.038 --> 00:13:49.576 popped up to Billy Joe Cotton who quickly got out in front of that plate 00:13:49.609 --> 00:13:53.246 picked it up in mid air and threw the Cotton for the double play and the 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.946 Hurricanes are quickly retired here in the second, but not before they 00:13:56.979 --> 00:14:01.167 pick up one run on two hits. There were no double errors and nobody left 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.066 on base and the score at the end of 1.5 innings of play, the Hurricanes 00:14:05.099 --> 00:14:08.927 won the Devils nothing 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:16.057 this speed to section a the support of the f 00:14:16.090 --> 00:14:19.206 the Devils come up in the bottom of the second inning and Paul Ray Powell 00:14:19.239 --> 00:14:24.726 , Billy Joe Cotton and Jeff Osborne in that order, Steve Rogers had no 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.956 trouble with the Devils at all. Got to ground out immediately and struck 00:14:28.989 --> 00:14:33.015 out Dick and all. And second right hander looks down at Bob Murphy for the 00:14:33.048 --> 00:14:37.206 sign. Paul, Ray Powell steps in. There's the first pitch, fastball misses 00:14:37.239 --> 00:14:41.467 outside for a ball and Murphy will have words with his young pitcher. 00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:46.047 Perhaps they got a little crossed up on the signal. Pa Ray Powell hitting 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:52.976 300 even on the series hitting 360 on the season of the top 15 batters 00:14:53.009 --> 00:14:57.557 each. The Tulsa ball club in Arizona State each have three in the top 15 00:14:57.590 --> 00:15:02.846 series. Batter. There's a lazy curve that's low and away to Paul Ray girl 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.537 from catcher Bob Murphy gets away from Rogers and Phil Hocutt will hustle 00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:11.005 it back to him two balls and no strikes. Devils trailing in the ball game 00:15:11.038 --> 00:15:14.625 one to nothing but batting only in the bottom of the second Rogers ready. 00:15:14.658 --> 00:15:18.467 The right handed lives line shot over to second base in the center field. 00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:24.476 Paul Ray Powell has a single, 00:15:24.509 --> 00:15:31.456 that's the first hit given up by Rogers. 00:15:31.489 --> 00:15:35.956 Paul Ray Powell. Let's see. Let's see. Double check here now has seven 00:15:35.989 --> 00:15:39.775 bases in the two. 00:15:39.808 --> 00:15:45.246 Billy Joe Cotton stepping in 263 series. 3, 37 on a season takes high and 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:52.385 inside for ball one last night. Uh, Billy Joe had a very bad night behind 00:15:52.418 --> 00:15:55.895 the plate. In other words, he got spiked chasing a bunt and got hit by a 00:15:55.928 --> 00:16:01.297 foul tip. Here's the one ball pitch to cut, swung on and missed strike one 00:16:01.330 --> 00:16:05.236 when he was hurt after being hit by the foul ball. And he really was, it 00:16:05.269 --> 00:16:09.066 was, he was in pain. He was hitting doc Scott. I had breakfast with a 00:16:09.099 --> 00:16:11.616 doctor this morning, the team physician, he said, Billy Joe said that he 00:16:11.649 --> 00:16:14.537 really wasn't hurt. He just wanted the doc to come up so he could get on 00:16:14.570 --> 00:16:18.407 television one ball and one strike. 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.765 Powell set at first base. Here's the pitch. The cop swung on the ground as 00:16:21.798 --> 00:16:24.787 the left side could be two honey cut, fumbled the ball. He'll have no 00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:32.820 place to go. Everybody face 00:16:35.349 --> 00:16:40.946 Phil Hocutt who made a fantastic catch of Paul Ray Powell's line drive in 00:16:40.979 --> 00:16:44.255 Wednesday night's game could not hold on to that ground ball from the bat 00:16:44.288 --> 00:16:48.145 of Billy Joe Cotton. And with Powell's speed coming into second base, he 00:16:48.178 --> 00:16:51.736 had no time for the force and everybody's safe that I have two on nobody 00:16:51.769 --> 00:16:57.635 down. Jeff Osborne up, Roger's ready pitch. A little fun is foul as Murphy 00:16:57.668 --> 00:17:01.476 quickly in front of the plate picks it up and fires the third base. But 00:17:01.509 --> 00:17:05.956 plate umpire Marty mcdonagh said no sir. They hit in foul territory. 00:17:05.989 --> 00:17:11.897 Cotton retreats to first base P the second and Jeff Osborne has strike one 00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:16.585 69 degrees here in Omaha. A little different story from last night. The 00:17:16.618 --> 00:17:22.127 wind, you can not see the flag in center field does not move at all. So 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.976 we'll have to say there is no win 36% the relative humidity and it is 00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:30.736 really a pretty day in Omaha final game. They had to go all 15 of them to 00:17:30.769 --> 00:17:33.906 decide who would be the national champ. And it's between the Tulsa 00:17:33.939 --> 00:17:37.535 Hurricane and the Sun Devils of Arizona State. Both runners lead. Here's 00:17:37.568 --> 00:17:41.835 the one strike pitch low and inside as Jeff brings his bat back in from an 00:17:41.868 --> 00:17:48.137 attempted bunt and it's all even up at one apiece. 00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:53.026 We were kidding last night on the radio, talking about mccook Nebraska and 00:17:53.059 --> 00:17:57.565 a very fine Arizona State supporter called us all away from Flagstaff to 00:17:57.598 --> 00:18:00.206 tell us that they are really more than five. Here's the pitch I kept at 00:18:00.239 --> 00:18:04.266 front is off the shin guard of catcher Bob Murphy. He's walking around 00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:11.075 saying my, that stings. It'll go as strike 21 ball and two strikes. 00:18:11.108 --> 00:18:16.347 It was a lazy curveball and usually on the b you have to give with the bat 00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:20.456 in order to make the ball not go too far. In that case, you had to poke at 00:18:20.489 --> 00:18:24.986 it because the pitch was so slow a ball and two strikes, Billy Joe Cotton 00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:28.486 , the runner at first base, Paul Ray Powell, the runner at second base. 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.756 Nobody down a ball and two strikes to Jeff Osborne left hand hitting 00:18:32.789 --> 00:18:36.946 first baseman Steve Rogers. The right hander takes a check. Here's the 00:18:36.979 --> 00:18:42.647 pitch inside ball two. How does even up two and two 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.117 in the first inning Rogers put the Devils down 123 and in the second 00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:52.236 inning, Steve Caves led off with a triple and Bob Murphy singled and the 00:18:52.269 --> 00:18:55.706 hurricane of Tulsa is out of front one to nothing but the Devils are 00:18:55.739 --> 00:18:58.436 threatening with two on and nobody. Nine. Here's a pitch to Osborne high 00:18:58.469 --> 00:19:04.276 away ball three almost got away from Murphy. So it's a full count and two 00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:11.117 good speed merchants on the B Devils have Tilford 13. Uh There's been 13 00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:14.867 stolen bases and the Devils have Tilford nine of them here in the World 00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:18.597 Series. Six of them going to Roger deter to establish a new college World 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:22.585 Series. The record. Ok. Here's the stretch by Rogers, the P at pile of 2nd 00:19:22.618 --> 00:19:26.597 32 coming inside all the way back to the fence. Everybody will be safe. 00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:30.956 Paul Ray Pow will hold at third base. So the Devils have the bases full 00:19:30.989 --> 00:19:37.266 and up comes Lny Randall, 00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:42.887 that was the first walk given up. And here comes Dean Shell 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:50.920 jail has been with the Tulsa ball club for just four years and has 00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:56.456 compiled a record of 94 wins and 21 losses. This is their first trip to 00:19:56.489 --> 00:20:01.137 the college World Series and they are an unexpected late finisher. Many of 00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:06.946 the folks who call this game of baseball for collegiate 00:20:06.979 --> 00:20:11.117 contests such as this, say that the Tulsa Bar club would not get this far 00:20:11.150 --> 00:20:16.016 being his first trip to the college World Series. 00:20:16.049 --> 00:20:19.456 All right, we have the bases loaded. The infield is in for the play at the 00:20:19.489 --> 00:20:25.526 plate and Lenny Randall steps in. Lenny hitting only 176 on the series 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.246 takes a pitch outside a low ball one, 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:35.785 2, 28 on the season, Lenny has decent eyes and at one time over the season 00:20:35.818 --> 00:20:39.656 led off and can get on very good. 00:20:39.689 --> 00:20:43.217 Roger's taking plenty of time and Marty mcdonald, the plate umpire steps 00:20:43.250 --> 00:20:48.666 up and says, hey, come on bases loaded. Nobody out. Rogers. The right 00:20:48.699 --> 00:20:51.496 hander ready. Here's a pitch to Randall swung on a grounder foul to the 00:20:51.529 --> 00:20:55.097 left side. And again, as has been the case all through this series, 00:20:55.130 --> 00:21:01.387 Randall way out in front with a swing 00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:05.857 to the ball club beat the perennial favorites. Oklahoma State beat them 54 00:21:05.890 --> 00:21:09.367 and 13 innings and an 84 to make it to this college World Series. Randall 00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.676 pops it foul to the right side out of play. Nobody will get it. And the 00:21:12.709 --> 00:21:18.217 count is even, it should be a ball and two strikes and it is to the box 00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:23.097 office only the second Missouri Valley entrance in the college World 00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:29.467 Series in the past 13 years, Devils in their fourth college World Series 00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:33.766 tournament, they've won two national championships on odd years and of 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.967 course, they would like very much to take this one home. They have the 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.506 bases voted. There's the one ball, two strike pitch to Randall swung on a 00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:46.117 ground ball and grab it on the line can move. It's out number one and 00:21:46.150 --> 00:21:50.956 another great catch by Honeycutt as Randall almost had a base hit over 00:21:50.989 --> 00:21:55.256 Phil Honeycutt pa the infield in Berkeley at the plate, but it just did 00:21:55.289 --> 00:22:00.996 not have enough. Um, and Randall is out number one, 00:22:01.029 --> 00:22:06.835 it looked like a base hit from here. Honi is almost between 2nd and 3rd 00:22:06.868 --> 00:22:11.196 and that ball just not quite high enough. He leaped maybe a foot or so in 00:22:11.229 --> 00:22:14.476 the air and pulled it down on the webbing, one down bases still loaded. 00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:17.627 Rick Valley, the freshman third baseman right handed batter waits the 00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:22.035 first pitch check, swing. It goes all the way back. Pa pa will score 00:22:22.068 --> 00:22:26.156 easily on the flag. Totten advances to third and Osborne to second. It's a 00:22:26.189 --> 00:22:33.107 wild pitch, 00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:38.555 a wild pitch by Steve Rogers scores Powell from third base. Cotton moves 00:22:38.588 --> 00:22:43.256 to third and Osborne to second. Still only one down and the score is all 00:22:43.289 --> 00:22:48.897 tied at one apiece. Well, that's exactly how New York got their run off. 00:22:48.930 --> 00:22:53.717 La la Gros, a double followed by a wild pitch and eventually a single 00:22:53.750 --> 00:22:57.206 Rogers ready now with a one ball pitch to Valley, swung on a grounder 00:22:57.239 --> 00:23:01.785 right back to the mound. Rogers fears it and throws him out at first base 00:23:01.818 --> 00:23:06.946 a nice defensive move by the pitcher Steve Rogers. 00:23:06.979 --> 00:23:11.555 So they're two down, Osborne still at second Cotton still at third and 00:23:11.588 --> 00:23:15.996 Larry Gura will attempt to do something about his own car. Larry hitting 00:23:16.029 --> 00:23:22.486 only 170 on the season has no hits in the World Series outside and low for 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.706 a ball. Billy Joe Cotton is ready to move at third base. He has watched 00:23:27.739 --> 00:23:31.736 Steve Rogers work. He knows that there might be an occasion that ball is 00:23:31.769 --> 00:23:35.575 going to get by catcher Bob Murphy and he wants to make and take every 00:23:35.608 --> 00:23:41.825 advantage of it. Rogers does not like the ball ask for and gets a new one. 00:23:41.858 --> 00:23:47.647 Rogers, 66 and two thirds innings on the season gave up 2036 hits, 17 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.776 runs, 10 of which were earned, walked 27 and struck out 70. There's a 00:23:51.809 --> 00:23:56.137 fastball strike on the inside corner taking all the way and it's a ball 00:23:56.170 --> 00:24:00.217 and a strike 1 to 1 ball game. Doubles batting in the bottom of the second 00:24:00.250 --> 00:24:04.726 , have a pair of runners on Osborne's second. Cotton at third. Here's the 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:09.867 11 pitch. Gua takes inside ball two and it gets away from Bob Murphy but 00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:14.656 right under the feet of plate umpire mcdonough Murphy could not find it 00:24:14.689 --> 00:24:19.006 but no advance because it was right by the plate. Two ball, two balls and 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.097 one strike to Larry G beam from the opposite side, choked up on the bed. 00:24:25.130 --> 00:24:29.686 Larry says I don't want a home run. Just a little bingo. Rogers has the 00:24:29.719 --> 00:24:37.719 sign he wants. Here's the 12 pitch inside ball three. 00:24:38.219 --> 00:24:41.426 All right, we are, we are checking the scoreboard. It reached two and two 00:24:41.459 --> 00:24:46.825 now. So we'll go with that two balls and two strikes. Tagua two outs and 00:24:46.858 --> 00:24:50.545 two on. Here's the 2 to 2 pitch. De Larry swung on a number to the left 00:24:50.578 --> 00:24:56.976 side. Rogers. The third baseman throws Gura out with as he makes the nice 00:24:57.009 --> 00:25:02.835 fielding play, 5 to 3 for the Devils are retired in the second but not 00:25:02.868 --> 00:25:07.926 before they score a run on one hit. There was an error and two men left 00:25:07.959 --> 00:25:11.627 and the score at the end of two complete innings of play. The Devils won 00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:16.926 the Hurricane won 00:25:16.959 --> 00:25:20.476 Larry Bird. The right fielder's first batter swings and misses on the 00:25:20.509 --> 00:25:24.456 first pitch. Strike one hitting 371 on the season, but he's batting ninth 00:25:24.489 --> 00:25:30.206 . A let up curve is strike two. Go change up nicely and it's zero and two 00:25:30.239 --> 00:25:35.887 , as we said, go has a tendency to get stronger as he goes pitch inside a 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:41.325 ball on a curveball and a count as two balls or a ball and two strikes, 11 00:25:41.358 --> 00:25:45.637 ball game. Tulsa and Arizona State scoring one apiece in the second. 00:25:45.670 --> 00:25:50.818 Here's the pitch by G curve ball strike three called, it was a pretty one. 00:25:51.828 --> 00:25:53.828 That's the first strikeout for Gura out number one for Tulsa and we'll go 00:25:56.068 --> 00:26:00.075 to the batter and we'll go to the pitcher, Steve Rogers. 00:26:00.108 --> 00:26:06.815 Let's see. Do we have anything on his batting to? 00:26:06.848 --> 00:26:12.097 He does have two hits and have scored a run in four at bats here in the 00:26:12.130 --> 00:26:16.367 college World Series hits 333 on the season attempts to bunt and it's a 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.377 called strike as he misses, 00:26:19.410 --> 00:26:23.325 I guess you'd have to call it a swing because he did not pull his bat back 00:26:23.358 --> 00:26:26.887 at any rate. There is a strike pitch by G swung out of miss strike two on 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:34.006 a fastball. Looks good. Looks better. Now, Larry said to, uh, Doug Gerlich 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:39.127 , our human statistician who is very carnivorous. However, that if he did 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:43.496 not work too often, he could probably go all the way. He did not work at 00:26:43.529 --> 00:26:46.456 all yesterday, of course, did not warm up, but with three or four pitches 00:26:46.489 --> 00:26:49.486 and in the first inning, had only three, that ball was inside. It's the 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:54.055 ball and two strikes. Here's the pitch check swing and it is even up at 00:26:54.088 --> 00:26:58.867 two and two. So that Gura indicated that if he did not work until this 00:26:58.900 --> 00:27:02.325 moment that he probably could go all the way. And of course, Bobby Winkles 00:27:02.358 --> 00:27:07.065 hopes. That's the case. Here's a 22 pitch inside for ball three. So the 00:27:07.098 --> 00:27:12.825 pitcher Steve Rogers and of course, Larry does not want to walk in 00:27:12.858 --> 00:27:20.858 one away. Here's the 32 pitch basketball. We're gonna miss Black three, 00:27:21.250 --> 00:27:24.847 two strikeouts. Now in a row, we go to the top of the order. It's Roger 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.726 Whitaker who on the first ball pitched in this ball game pops up to Roger 00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:34.607 Ditter hitting 338 on the season is the fifth leading batter in the world 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:41.107 Series competition with a mark of 357 hits and 20 at bats pitch inside in 00:27:41.140 --> 00:27:45.967 the dirt. Billy Joe Cotton knocks it down ball one Whitaker. Not a large 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:50.795 man has good wrist, has a home run with two on against Texas to help Steve 00:27:50.828 --> 00:27:55.065 Rogers win that ball game. Red pops it up Cotton. Coming back. I don't 00:27:55.098 --> 00:27:58.696 believe he'll have room. He'll go as far as he can. No, he doesn't. We're 00:27:58.729 --> 00:28:05.206 not going to have any room either. Right. Not more than 5 ft from us and 00:28:05.239 --> 00:28:10.226 we're up very high. 00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:14.436 Not a large crowd on hand tonight. Here's the pitch by G A grounder to the 00:28:14.469 --> 00:28:18.137 left side is set up with it to throw across the diamond in time. And 00:28:18.170 --> 00:28:23.506 Whitaker is out number three. So for the hurricane in the third, no runs, 00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:27.575 no hits, no errors and nobody left and the score at the end of 2.5 innings 00:28:27.608 --> 00:28:32.887 of play, the Devils won T one V 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.387 in the bottom of the third. It's the top of the order Denner Dickens on, 00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:43.035 on se Roger de 306 on the season has been played a great college World 00:28:43.068 --> 00:28:48.006 Series first pitch by Rogers is blowing away ball one again. Many, many. 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.416 Thank you on behalf of Bobby Winkles and the ball club for your great 00:28:52.449 --> 00:28:57.107 telegrams over 100 of them today. They've been coming in every day and the 00:28:57.140 --> 00:29:01.305 kids really appreciate it. Gary Gentry said while you're there, you might 00:29:01.338 --> 00:29:05.055 as well win it all. Bobby Allison jokingly asked links, what do you do for 00:29:05.088 --> 00:29:08.686 me this year? A grounder right back to the man and Rogers throws that out 00:29:08.719 --> 00:29:11.107 easily 00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:16.276 one up and one down. Ralph Dick who struck out in the first is the battle 00:29:16.309 --> 00:29:20.006 seven 00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:25.967 drop 336 and that's uh quite a drop from the, at the season's end when he 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.016 hit 360 there's a, a little scrubber in the chart right center right field 00:29:30.049 --> 00:29:34.335 and it's gonna be in there for a base hit. Well, maybe we should say that 00:29:34.368 --> 00:29:38.305 everybody average is dropping just a little bit because he proves us to be 00:29:38.338 --> 00:29:42.397 a liar by just dropping one into right field hit. Number two given up by 00:29:42.430 --> 00:29:48.285 Rogers and John Dolan who struck out himself back in the first will step 00:29:48.318 --> 00:29:54.585 in had a great series, great swing against 00:29:54.618 --> 00:29:57.545 earlier. Tulsa pitching. There's a quick throw to first base, Ralph back 00:29:57.578 --> 00:29:59.976 in plenty of time. 00:30:00.009 --> 00:30:03.315 1 to 1 ball game devils batting in the bottom of the third. Have a runner 00:30:03.348 --> 00:30:07.545 at first and Ralph Dick and only one away. Donald se the batter awaits the 00:30:07.578 --> 00:30:14.325 first pitch. Here it comes, checks inside ball one. 00:30:14.358 --> 00:30:17.315 Not uh as we said a moment ago, not too large a crowd. They're looking for 00:30:17.348 --> 00:30:22.585 a new attendance figure, but they needed over 11,000 to break the old 00:30:22.618 --> 00:30:26.656 series mark of 63,906. I don't believe they have it yet. Here's the pitch 00:30:26.689 --> 00:30:30.335 to Donald last shot to left field gonna be in there for a base hit one 00:30:30.368 --> 00:30:35.226 hopper to the left fielder, Roger Whitaker, his throw will hold uh Ralph 00:30:35.259 --> 00:30:39.315 Dick at second base. 00:30:39.348 --> 00:30:43.897 So two hits in a row, put Ralph Dick at second base, John Zenk at first 00:30:43.930 --> 00:30:49.607 and Pr Powell with a single back in the second inning, hitting over 300 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:55.746 for series play would like very much 362. Thank you, Norty Jensen would 00:30:55.779 --> 00:31:00.075 like to add a couple of RBIs to his credit Rogers checks. Ralph Dick, the 00:31:00.108 --> 00:31:03.357 runner at second base delivers in the dirt. Gets way away from him. Bonne 00:31:03.390 --> 00:31:06.996 out to third base. Nick going to second or third base and Donald the 00:31:07.029 --> 00:31:11.946 second and it's gonna be, we'll check out probably a wild pitch, but at 00:31:11.979 --> 00:31:16.426 any rate, dick moves to third and do check to second with one out and Paul 00:31:16.459 --> 00:31:19.986 Ray Powell, it is a wild pitch. 00:31:20.019 --> 00:31:24.147 That's the second wild pitch by Rogers. And you got to remember he's only 00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:29.065 a sophomore and he is under great pressure. He has won two games in this 00:31:29.098 --> 00:31:34.627 college World Series already and he would like very much to win the third. 00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:41.045 Number 22. Craig Bothwell and number 21 Johnny Clark are both catchers. 00:31:41.078 --> 00:31:45.107 They're out in the bullpen. That ought to be interesting. Both catchers. 00:31:45.140 --> 00:31:48.147 Well, that's kind of different. Well, that might mean a pinch hitter, 00:31:48.180 --> 00:31:51.597 Murphy can also play right field. They could put the catcher in and move 00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:55.276 Murphy to write for a pinch hitter, but, uh, we'll have to see what's 00:31:55.309 --> 00:31:58.906 happening. It's the pitcher who's in trouble. Steve Rogers has two men on 00:31:58.939 --> 00:32:03.301 with only one away and Pr Paul Ray P, the batter with a one ball count 00:32:03.334 --> 00:32:07.232 taking plenty of time. Now looks at the runner at third. Here's the one 00:32:07.265 --> 00:32:10.881 ball pitch swung on a line shot right into the glove and bounces out of 00:32:10.914 --> 00:32:17.476 the glove of the truck dicks and it will be a 00:32:17.509 --> 00:32:22.456 that ball hit very sharply. Phil Hocutt did well to get to it. He got to, 00:32:22.489 --> 00:32:26.825 it, knocked it down. The ball bounced away from him. Do saw that the play 00:32:26.858 --> 00:32:30.686 was very close to him. Scampered back to second base. The ball bounced far 00:32:30.719 --> 00:32:33.926 enough that the second baseman Roger Adams picked it up but he could make 00:32:33.959 --> 00:32:38.526 no play. Ralph Dick scores from third base. The Devils lead it 2 to 1 and 00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.256 Paul Ray Powell is safe at first with his second hit of the ball game. 00:32:43.289 --> 00:32:47.936 Second or the catcher Cotton Springs on grounds line to the left side. 00:32:47.969 --> 00:32:51.196 Third baseman picks it up and throws it in the right center field. Here 00:32:51.229 --> 00:32:55.176 comes a six story car, right p digging for third. He's gonna come on, 00:32:55.209 --> 00:32:59.627 here's a throw into the play. He is out of there and on the play, Billy 00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:07.660 Joe goes to third base. 00:33:14.250 --> 00:33:18.065 Well, my goodness sakes. The ball was hit on a slow roller to the third 00:33:18.098 --> 00:33:21.676 baseman, Les Rogers. He threw to the second baseman Roger Adams covering 00:33:21.709 --> 00:33:25.285 up to get the fourth on Paul Ray Powell, the ball went all the way into 00:33:25.318 --> 00:33:30.085 right field on the play. Dunham se scored Paul Ray Powell then eventually 00:33:30.118 --> 00:33:36.486 was thrown out 8 to 3 to 4. And on the error which was eventually the 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:40.486 first, the third baseman which allowed Billy Joe Cotton to be safe at 00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:43.967 first. Billy Joe very wisely kept moving and moved all the way to third 00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:49.006 base. So there are two runs home. The Devils lead it 3 to 1. There are two 00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.996 outs. Cotton at third and the batter Jeff Osborne Rogers ready to work. 00:33:53.029 --> 00:33:57.486 First pitched Osborne as a grounder into left field for a Cotton will 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:04.065 score. 00:34:04.098 --> 00:34:08.606 Cotton scores from third base. The Devils lead it 4 to 1. Osborne the 00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:13.456 runner at first base and Lenny Randall will step in butcher warming up 00:34:13.489 --> 00:34:19.175 cliff butcher their number two pitcher warming up in the Tulsa bullpen Sun 00:34:19.208 --> 00:34:25.077 Devils four Tulsa 12 down. Osborne at first Randall who popped up to the 00:34:25.110 --> 00:34:29.456 shortstop his first appearance, swings and grounds it back to the screen 00:34:29.489 --> 00:34:35.646 strike one. Well, Denard started off almost got a hit but a great fielding 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.517 effort by the pitcher Steve Rogers as he jumped high in the air to spread 00:34:38.550 --> 00:34:42.026 the ball through him out and then the devil started to hit him. Ralph Dick 00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:46.267 up the middle. John Doen to left Paul Ray Powell to left side. Cotton safe 00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:50.925 on an air and Osborne with a single to left pitch to Randall just catches 00:34:50.958 --> 00:34:57.106 the outside corner with a curveball and it's even up one and one. 00:34:57.139 --> 00:35:01.307 Rogers having his problems in the 2nd and 3rd in the first inning he made 00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:05.595 the Devils swing away and he got them out quick pitch to Randall. High 00:35:05.628 --> 00:35:08.666 fastball is ball two 00:35:08.699 --> 00:35:12.436 in the first inning. He got, um, dead out very quickly and struck out Dick 00:35:12.469 --> 00:35:16.276 and Dolak and the Tulsa ball club was back in the dugout before they 00:35:16.309 --> 00:35:19.856 started. But in the 2nd and 3rd, he had his problem Osborne with the lead. 00:35:19.889 --> 00:35:23.287 Here's the two ball, one strike pitch on its way to Randall check swing 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.706 Osborne moving. 00:35:27.739 --> 00:35:32.227 Well, something must have happened because it was strike three calls, both 00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:36.106 the indication from the plate umpire and the scoreboard had it ball to 00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:39.787 strike one, Randall is called out on strikes that ends the inning for the 00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:46.106 Devils, but not before they pick up three runs on four hits. There was one 00:35:46.139 --> 00:35:49.986 air and one man left and a score at the end of three complete innings of 00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:55.836 play. The Sun Devils for the Hurricane one. 00:35:55.869 --> 00:36:00.267 Well, the devil hustle which is abnormal, they really move, got out to the 00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:05.155 ground so fast that g uh second pitch to Tom Jenkins was a grounder to 00:36:05.188 --> 00:36:08.675 Randall and he threw him out. So if you're just joining us, now, there's 00:36:08.708 --> 00:36:12.186 one away for tough to here in the top of the fourth and the batter is the 00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:17.916 third baseman, Les Rogers who swings and misses for strike one. Rogers is 00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:22.106 a first team all American selection. He is a good fielder and he's hitting 00:36:22.139 --> 00:36:28.095 416 on the season. So he can hit as well. Here's the pitch inside as Larry 00:36:28.128 --> 00:36:33.717 brushes him back with a high fastball and the count is even at one apiece 00:36:33.750 --> 00:36:38.236 416, that's got to be some hitter, girls. 11 pitch swung on a miss strike 00:36:38.269 --> 00:36:41.135 two on a curveball. 00:36:41.168 --> 00:36:45.827 Rogers is the third leading hitter in college World series play this year 00:36:45.860 --> 00:36:50.836 with six hits, scored one run and had three RBIs as in 400 in the series 00:36:50.869 --> 00:36:54.425 as well. Here's the one ball, two strike pitch to him. Grounder to the 00:36:54.458 --> 00:36:58.936 right side. Randall charging it up with it. The throw to Osborne in time 00:36:58.969 --> 00:37:05.376 and Jenkins and Rogers go out the same way 4 to 32 down. Nobody on and 00:37:05.409 --> 00:37:09.945 Steve Cave should get a good hand last time up, tripled to right center 00:37:09.978 --> 00:37:14.876 and scored the hurricane 00:37:14.909 --> 00:37:20.717 297 is his average. Where's number 12 right handed banner good power. 00:37:20.750 --> 00:37:24.626 Obviously, Gura will remember the left hander delivers the first pitch 00:37:24.659 --> 00:37:28.537 called strike inside corner caves had some motion but did not follow 00:37:28.570 --> 00:37:32.517 through strike one. 00:37:32.550 --> 00:37:38.166 District five includes there's a long drive down the right field line f 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:44.106 into the bullpen area of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. That is without the s 00:37:44.139 --> 00:37:48.586 it is a singular hurricane which is good. I hate to have a whole lot of 00:37:48.619 --> 00:37:53.385 them out there making a lot of dust 4 to 1. The devils lead it. This is it 00:37:53.418 --> 00:37:57.925 for all the marbles. The final game of the 69 College World Series. Here's 00:37:57.958 --> 00:38:02.517 the pitch, it gets away from Cotton back to the screen and it's ball 00:38:02.550 --> 00:38:08.385 number one against two strikes. That's the time to waste it. 00:38:08.418 --> 00:38:12.477 1500 Sun Devil Clubbers also sent a telegram. There's a curveball in the 00:38:12.510 --> 00:38:17.385 dirt. The caves, even the count of two and two and BJ Cotton plays one 00:38:17.418 --> 00:38:25.418 back. A trademark reminder to the pitcher to shape up. 00:38:26.429 --> 00:38:32.046 Here's the 22 pitch on its way, swung on a miss on a curveball fresh free. 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.436 There's the third strikeout for Gura and for Salsa in the fourth, no runs 00:38:36.469 --> 00:38:41.017 , no hits, no errors and nobody left to score at the end of 3.5 innings of 00:38:41.050 --> 00:38:47.046 play. Arizona State four Tulsa one 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.385 in the bottom of the fourth for the Devils. It'll be Rick Valley followed 00:38:50.418 --> 00:38:54.307 by Larry G and then the top of the order 00:38:54.340 --> 00:38:58.787 freshman playing in his first college World Series. Good glove. Here's the 00:38:58.820 --> 00:39:04.666 first pitch by Rogers. It is low for a ball at third base. The assistant 00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:08.787 coach, Jack Smither and the coach for the Sun Devils. And at first base, 00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:14.526 it is Joe Miller, Steve Rogers working in the fourth inning right hander 00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:19.566 ready to work, fired sky to short right center field coming in Jenkins and 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:24.626 by it is bird calling for it and taking him for out number one. Larry Bird 00:39:24.659 --> 00:39:27.945 , the right fielder moved far to his right and made the catch for out 00:39:27.978 --> 00:39:33.436 number one. Larry G, the better 00:39:33.469 --> 00:39:39.477 Omaha fans and I see Tulsa fans too clapping for a guy who has really come 00:39:39.510 --> 00:39:42.345 on here in the World Series after what appeared to be a shaky start. One 00:39:42.378 --> 00:39:46.227 hopper right to the second basement on the first pitch and Adams throws 00:39:46.260 --> 00:39:51.166 him out, easily, well tagged but right at somebody and Gura is out number 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:58.287 two, two up and two down and Roger Jetter hitless in two trips, Rogers had 00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:02.986 a very good series and at one point that he had a good game and of course 00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:06.517 , he played well defensively has not hit the ball. Could possibly be in 00:40:06.550 --> 00:40:12.776 the running for MVP pitched by Rogers, a curveball strike outside corner 00:40:12.809 --> 00:40:16.925 4 to 1 devils bleeding it and batting in the bottom of the fourth inning. 00:40:16.958 --> 00:40:20.706 Scored one in the second three in the third, Steve Rogers checks Bob 00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:23.807 Murphy for the sign, the right hander delivers and deter takes outside 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:29.497 another curveball. It's ball 11 and one. There have been only two, no 00:40:29.530 --> 00:40:34.166 hitters pitched in college World Series play in the 23 years that's been 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:39.316 going on. Jim in 1950 pitched one for Texas that swings the initial strike 00:40:39.349 --> 00:40:44.365 two. He beat tough college by the score of seven to nothing. And Jim 00:40:44.398 --> 00:40:48.827 Whitson in 60 for Oklahoma State beat North Carolina seven to nothing. 00:40:48.860 --> 00:40:53.646 Identical scores first names the same. There's a fastball, high four ball 00:40:53.679 --> 00:41:00.416 two, been quite a few one hitters and I believe. I'm not quite sure. I 00:41:00.449 --> 00:41:06.066 think Carl Thomas ex University of Arizona Ace, uh had one of those. 00:41:06.099 --> 00:41:09.586 Here's a 2 to 2 pitch to Debtor. Kurt ball is fouled back to the screen. 00:41:09.619 --> 00:41:14.217 Thomas I believe also is in line with about 11 other guys for most runs 00:41:14.250 --> 00:41:19.276 batted in and had seven in one game back in one of the many times that the 00:41:19.309 --> 00:41:22.276 University of Arizona came to the college World Series. Here's a 22 pitch. 00:41:22.309 --> 00:41:27.236 It's inside Roger taking all the away of all three good eye steady Roger 00:41:27.269 --> 00:41:32.106 hanging in with two ops and nobody aboard 00:41:32.139 --> 00:41:36.695 Steve Rogers working in his fourth inning in this ball game. Bullpen 00:41:36.728 --> 00:41:42.006 action has stopped for both sides. Now, here's the pitch, a pop foul to 00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.666 the right side out of play out of the stadium count as the same three and 00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:51.276 two. 00:41:51.309 --> 00:41:55.486 Arizona State really wants this ball game because Coach Bobby Winkle said 00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:57.977 they could have the day off. Thursday pitch swung on and fouled back to 00:41:58.010 --> 00:42:03.477 the screen after last night's victory over New York University Wink said 00:42:03.510 --> 00:42:07.195 you can have tomorrow off and the guys out voted him and they went to 00:42:07.228 --> 00:42:11.276 practice this morning. So they really want to keep in 332 again, swung on 00:42:11.309 --> 00:42:16.307 and missed strike three. 00:42:16.340 --> 00:42:20.236 So for the Devils in the fourth, they go quickly, no runs, no hits, no 00:42:20.269 --> 00:42:23.655 errors and nobody left the score at the end of four complete innings of 00:42:23.688 --> 00:42:31.688 play. Arizona state four Tulsa one. 00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:35.776 My 00:42:35.809 --> 00:42:39.537 Bob Murphy, the catcher steps in swings and misses on the first pitch at 00:42:39.570 --> 00:42:44.106 strike one, hitting 248 on the season and at a single back in the second 00:42:44.139 --> 00:42:52.139 inning, there's a bat ball across the letters called strike two. 00:42:52.898 --> 00:42:55.655 Bob Murphy has played right field in the college World Series as well. 00:42:55.688 --> 00:42:59.135 There's a curveball strike, Billy Joe drops, it picks it up, throws to 00:42:59.168 --> 00:43:03.586 Osman at first and Murphy becomes out number one strikeout victim. Number 00:43:03.619 --> 00:43:08.537 four, that'll bring to the plate. Roger Adams, the second baseman. We saw 00:43:08.570 --> 00:43:13.276 Skip Bryant of the Tempe Daily News walk into the stadium tonight and he 00:43:13.309 --> 00:43:17.445 reminds us of something that when we always watch Arizona State athletics 00:43:17.478 --> 00:43:22.095 , here's the first pitch swung on and fouled off the hands of Billy Cotton 00:43:22.128 --> 00:43:26.126 for strike one. Whenever we watch an Arizona State function, we always see 00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:29.945 a ball paint running around taking pictures and we do not see Eddie 00:43:29.978 --> 00:43:33.945 Wiggins at this tournament. And we understand here's the next pitch as a 00:43:33.978 --> 00:43:39.307 pop file back to the screen for strike tour. We are way ahead now of Roger 00:43:39.340 --> 00:43:43.365 Adams. We understand that Eddie is in Mesa Luther Hospital chasing all the 00:43:43.398 --> 00:43:47.017 nurses. So we're gonna send some encouragement to the doctors there to get 00:43:47.050 --> 00:43:51.345 him well and out of there, Eddie wish you were here, pitch line shot to 00:43:51.378 --> 00:43:57.557 left field on a standing very still under it and has 00:43:57.590 --> 00:44:05.037 two up and two down Bill. Honey cuts the batter 00:44:05.070 --> 00:44:09.756 360 on the season and the public arrest after a day or so ago said he made 00:44:09.789 --> 00:44:12.646 the greatest catch of the series. Lenny Randall made one that we would 00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.816 equal to it, but he's made another one today. Swings and misses and it is 00:44:15.849 --> 00:44:21.345 a strike 12 outs. Nobody aboard for Tulsa in the fifth doubles lead it 4 00:44:21.378 --> 00:44:27.126 to 1. Larry G on the mound delivers misses outside with a curveball and it 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.807 evens up one apiece. 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:33.827 I don't know if you had a chance to see what the Omaha and Rosenblatt 00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:37.977 Stadium area really looks like here's the pitch, a fly ball to short right 00:44:38.010 --> 00:44:41.287 field. Lenny Randall going out, Ralph Dick coming in. Randall waving him 00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:45.666 away under it and takes a score out. Number three, 00:44:45.699 --> 00:44:49.195 three up and three down for Tulsa in the fifth. No runs, no hits, no 00:44:49.228 --> 00:44:53.146 errors and nobody left on base and the score at the end of 4.5 innings of 00:44:53.179 --> 00:44:59.477 play. Arizona State four Tulsa one second left caves and stuff of this 00:44:59.510 --> 00:45:05.467 college World Series contest, Ralph Dick a single and struck out and has 00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:08.977 scored one of the four devil runs. Steve Rogers ready to work in the 00:45:09.010 --> 00:45:11.856 bottom of the fifth. The right hander delivers dick swings and misses 00:45:11.889 --> 00:45:15.997 strike one. 00:45:16.030 --> 00:45:20.405 It is a nice evening. We have the windows open tonight. There is no wind 00:45:20.438 --> 00:45:23.655 and a lot of Spectators sitting on the roof up here outside the first spot 00:45:23.688 --> 00:45:28.066 , here's a one strike pitch inside for a ball. Ralph just got out of the 00:45:28.099 --> 00:45:30.977 way of that one. 00:45:31.010 --> 00:45:34.247 The Devils have hit well in the last couple of games. Uh, seems like a 00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:38.247 couple of old Devils have hit pretty well. Reggie Jackson, Rick Mundy and 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:41.675 Sal Bando must have heard that it was college World Series time because 00:45:41.708 --> 00:45:46.827 they're really rattling the fences for the athletics. 00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:51.646 What did he have? Jackson has 26 home runs, you know, something like that. 00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:56.577 He had 14 RBIs and two games there for Oakland against Boston 10 in one 00:45:56.610 --> 00:46:01.836 game and four in the following day. Amazing. Amazing one ball and two 00:46:01.869 --> 00:46:05.796 strikes to R. Dick Rogers. R delivers swung on a line shot but right at 00:46:05.829 --> 00:46:13.037 the first baseman Steve Cas for out number one, 00:46:13.070 --> 00:46:16.717 the Devils have hit the ball. Well, Lenny Randall with the bases loaded, 00:46:16.750 --> 00:46:21.115 hit a line shot with just a little bit too low and the shortstop honeycutt 00:46:21.148 --> 00:46:24.425 caught it that have been two runs without looking. And now Dick slaps one 00:46:24.458 --> 00:46:27.986 , a line shot but right at the first baseman Steve Kay is one out donick 00:46:28.019 --> 00:46:32.017 line shot to left field. Nobody's going to get that one. It's a base hit a 00:46:32.050 --> 00:46:35.876 one hopper to Steve Whitaker. Don has his second hit of the night. He's 00:46:35.909 --> 00:46:41.456 two for three and Paul Ray Powell will step in. Let's see, that would give 00:46:41.489 --> 00:46:47.807 uh Dole nine hits in 19 at bats and he still leads in the college World 00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:52.750 Series in Hitting Pr Powell.
