mostly a reliever also has started doesn't have a good [Music] move plus two with baddy let's see who's [Music] hitting again angels on this one 63 lemon and menure and Banks all pinch [Music] hits menure left-handed hitter is a possibility Banks right-hander and Jim Lemon is not in this team uh he only had 17 at bats hit 286 though maybe some other time mure is going to pinch headit they're hoping for some long ball so menure the leftand The Hitter steps into the batter's box Gerber 4-2 game vers is on first one out Gerber from the stretch the pitch to menure that's 27 right-handed walked him so mure is on it's first and second one hit or walk away from fatigue is Gerber and green comes up two for three today oh here's Gerber bigot bat here pitch to Green 2 six right-handed walks them and loads the bases and out comes the manager to talk to gerba Bill Ry out there and that's it for Gerber he's reached fatigue little break in the action here Gerber comes out with the winner of record but it's 42 the tying run uh then the go-ahead run on base gerb ends up pitching 6 and 1/3 three hits that's all just three hits he walked three struck out six has allowed two thus far and Tom Morgan is the pitcher I'm just going to do it yeah Morgan is good Tom Morgan comes out he's going to be a zero here's Tom Morgan died at age 56 [Music] stroke okay Morgan is ready Oh my legs hurt Vic power comes up base is loaded one out infield is back for power that's the that's what they're doing going for the double play here's the pitch from Morgan 37 right-handed grounds it to short infield back no hold no in and it's an inning ending double play and the site is retired beautiful ground ball pitch from Morgan with the bases loaded and the infield back but there was one run on the leadoff triple by Allen knock home on the error by cry it's 42 and Lee stange is the new pitcher Gerber ends up allowing two runs and Morgan is eligible for the save although I don't keep that staed Lee stange taking his warm-ups Billy Moran would come H in to hit for cry if he comes up cry but he will come in Moran to play second base either way okay stange is ready here's Wagner top of the eighth Angels by two pitch from stange 311 right-handed grounds it to First for power one out now here's Eddie yast that's 17 right-handed walked them so Y is [Music] [Music] on and here's Buck

one the save went to Morgan Morgan pitched two and 2/3 the loss goes to krck he's one and one now the final line Angels six runs 11 hits two errors the twins three runs only four hits and no errors it's really hard to say Gerber pitched very good baseball but tired uh so he's a candidate for best player and so is Lee Thomas who went three for five with two home runs and a triple scored two runs had three runs batted in we hope you enjoyed this ball game I'm going to put this one in the books as well as the prior game we played this morning which was a 5 nothing Braves win over the Dodgers
