Bottom of the 7th, Yanks-Orioles, CBS telecast...

Dizzy Dean: "Bottom of the 7th, score is tied at 1-all, Stafford to face the shortstop Hansen. Hansen is 0-for-2... The pitch, lined to Skowron at 1st, 1 away. Here's the left-fielder Herzog, he doubled last time up... 3-1 to Herzog, ball four. That will bring up Adair, who is 0-for-2, flied to Mantle in shallow center last time up... the pitch to Adair, grounded to Richardson, Herzog running, Richardson throws to 1st, Herzog to 2nd, 2 down. Estrada will bat with runner at 2nd, 2 out, tie game... the pitch to Estrada, base hit! Herzog rounds 3rd, he scores! Estrada breaks the tie, Orioles lead it 2-1. Still 2 outs, here's the centerfielder Brandt, who has walked twice... the payoff to Brandt... Ball four! 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, pardner, the rightfielder Snyder to bat(Reese: Reniff in the Yankee bullpen, Diz)... The pitch to Snyder, base hit to right! They're gonna hold Estrada at 3rd, everyone else moves a base, still 2 outs, here's Robinson, he's 0-for-3... The pitch to Robinson... There's a drive to left, it's headed to the gap, Estrada scores, Brandt scores, Snyder rounds 3rd, he scores! It's a bases-clearing triple for Brooks Robinson! 5-1, Orioles and Houk has the hook, he's gonna send Stafford back to the corral, Reniff will take over...
Dean: "Gentile homered his last time up, maybe a little surprised Houk's pitching to him, here goes... The pitch to Gentile, fly ball to center, Mantle plays on a hop, Robinson scores, Gentile pulls into 2nd with a double! 6-1, Orioles!
Reese: Yankees about to be swept under the rug, Diz. Dean: Big time, pardner! Here's Triandos, the 9th Bird to peck in this inning... The pitch, drive to left field, Blanchard on the run, makes the catch to retire the side. 5 Runs, 4 Hits, 1 runner left. After 7, Baltimore 6, Yankees 1!"
And that would be your final score. BAL 6-6-0 NYY 1-3-1 WP-Estrada LP-Stafford

Was Fang There?

The defending World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates made their 1961 TV debut on 4-28-61 against the eventual NL champs for the year, Cincinnati. Before I decide whether to do at least a partial replay, here are some ads as they may have sounded that night on Pitt TV, keeping in mind that I'm not a Pitt TV expert, just one who happens to read Post-Gazette's from the Google archives. WIIC-TV: You've seen her on Jack Paar, now see her for yourself tonight and Saturday! Don't miss loveable comic star Phyllis Diller and special musical guests perform 2 shows nightly at 9 and 11:30 at the Horizon Room located at the airport in Pittsburgh. Don't miss the laughs! Tonight's "Movie Hall of Fame" presentation stars WC Fields in that madcap comedy hit, "The Bank Dick," tonight at 7 on Channel 11. It's a night of encores on the Telephone Hour as Rosemary Clooney and Robert Preston perform their acts from this past season, tonight at 9. Then stay tuned ...

5 Outs Away...

Drysdale fires 1-hitter at Giants Bailey breaks up no-hit bid in 8th Baseball in 1961 Staff LOS ANGELES-5 outs away. That's how Don Drysdale came close to baseball immortality at the Coliseum tonight, losing a no-hit bid on a double by Ed Bailey with one out in the 8th. Drysdale would finish with a one-hitter, striking out 8 as the Dodgers finished a two-game series sweep of the Giants, 2-0. The Dodgers supplemented Drysdale's gem with a Charlie Neal solo homer in the 3rd off Jack Sanford and a sacrifice fly by Norm Larker in the 6th off Jim Duffalo. This was the second 1-hit effort in the early season, the other came on opening day when Dick Donovan of the Senators carried a no-hitter into the 8th against the White Sox.
