Last ball!

From Colt Stadium in Houston, the Colt 45's game of the day is on the air.

This evening's game between the Colt 45s and the Cincinnati Reds

is brought to you by the American Tobacco Company, makers of Pelmel, famous cigarettes.

For those who are particular about taste, yes, particular people take particular pleasure in the good taste of Pelmel.

Outstanding.

And by the Pearl Brewing Company, Brewers of Pearl Beer.

Better because it's brewed with famous spring water from the country of 1100 springs.

And Country Club malt liquor.

Not a beer or an ale, but a totally different kind of drink.

It's mighty good.

Well, tonight's game here getting underway in just a few moments.

The Reds and the Cold 45s will wrap up our first homestand of the year. However, our road trip coming up will be a very brief one.

We'll be gone just over the weekend. Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday will be in St. Louis.

And then right back here on Monday for four games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and three against the Chicago Cubs before we hit the road once again.

We have a real nice night for baseball here in Houston again tonight. The temperature reading at the present time stands at 78 degrees. Humidity is 72 percent.

And we have that strong wind again that's blowing out of the right field corner

coming across at between 15 and 20 miles an hour blowing out toward the left side.

This will wrap it up here against the Reds.

The series going into tonight's game is all even up at one apiece.

The starting pitcher for Freddie Hutchinson's Cincinnati Ball Club tonight will be left-hander Joe Nuxall

and going for our Colt 45s, right-hander Ken Johnson.
