Well, the umpiring alignment this Thursday afternoon in Oakland finds Yumaan at the play, Demiro at first, Hallor at second, Jake O'Donnell at third, Don Buford, to step in the Pollyole. The final game in the four-game series, and it's our pleasure to turn the microphone over to our partner, Bill O'Donnell. Thank you, Chuck, and good afternoon, everybody, from the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, John Duford against the open right-hander.

24-year-old Roland fingers.

One ball and one strike to Blair. Batting at 254.

Blair has a home run and 11 runs batted in.

Scoreboard says two and two, it should read one ball and two strikes.

Fingers works to the plate, and here's the ground ball to the left of second base. Campanaris is on top of it,
