SCORING PLAYS

Bottom of the 2nd
Batting next is Murtaugh-48. 
  He brings a 6 game hitting streak with him to the plate.
  one down.
  And they've got Gregg-45 on the ropes, with the bases loaded.
  The pitch is on the way ...

  In the air to right field ...
  and this could be trouble ...
  Zarilla-50 was late picking the ball up from the bat ...
  and that's going to get by him and go to the wall for a double.
  Murtaugh-48 extends his hitting streak to 7 games.

  Not enough speed out there to chance it ...
  so the runners will not try for an extra base ...
  Scoring from third is Kryhoski-51.
  Here comes Hegan-48 to score.
  Johnson-43 advances to third.



Rizzuto-50 steps in. 
  one out.
  Johnson-43 creeping down the line at third. Murtaugh-48 is hanging out at second. 
  Gregg-45 delivers ...

  Swung on ...
  and there's a liner to right field ...
  coming up to get a bead on it is Zarilla-50 ...
  and he makes a fine running catch.

  Johnson-43 is tagging up ...
  and he scores easily.



Bottom of the 3rd
Kryhoski-51 at the plate. 
  He entered the game batting .199 with 2 HR and 11 RBI.
  one gone.
  Wertz-50 is parked on third. Russell-44 takes his lead from second. 
  And Kryhoski-51 tired of waiting and steps out of the box ...
  he steps back in now ...
  and Gregg-45 delivers ...

  Lined hard to center field ...
  but right there to handle it is Busby-53 ...
  and he makes the catch for the out.

  Wertz-50 is tagging up ...
  and the throw is off line ... he scores easily.



Top of the 7th
Coming up next, Glaviano-50. 
  So far today he is 1 for 2.
  one down here in the Top of the 7th.
  Here comes the pitch ...

  Glaviano-50 didn't get all of it ...
  but sends this one towering into the wind ...
  and that's going to crawl over the fence in short right ...
  Home Run for Glaviano-50!



Top of the 9th
Fain-52 at the plate. 
  He entered the game batting .288 with 13 RBI.
  two out.
  The bases are loaded.
  Savage-47 at the belt, now comes to the plate ...

  Fastball ...
  and there's a Texas Leaguer into left field for a base hit ...
  coming up to get it is Gray-45 ... 
  a single for Fain-52.
  Fain-52 extends his hitting streak to 7 games.

  Rigney-47 is trying for extra bases ...
  Scoring from third is Busby-53.
  Here comes Rigney-47 to score.

  Pesky-46 perched out at second. Fain-52 is parked on first.
  Here comes the pitch ...

  Lined to left field for a base hit ...
  and that ball was hit right at Gray-45 ...
  so it's just a long single for Hemus-52.

  A green light from the coaching box ...
  so the runners keep on going ...
  but Gray-45 might have a play ...
  strong throw to Hegan-48 ...
  but it's not in time, he's safe!
  Here comes Pesky-46 to score.
  Fain-52 hustles to third.
  and Hemus-52 alertly takes second on the throw.



Top of the 23th
And that brings up the righty Busby-53. 
  So far today he is 2 for 10.
  one down here in the Top of the 23th.
  Runners at the corners.
  A good job here of holding Glaviano-50 tight to the bag ...
  He'll have to stay put.



Busby-53 is coming up next.

  one out here in the Top of the 23th.
