| 0:00.0 | The Ohio swept the two-game set down in Baltimore with a Sunday game rained out and came on here with the knowledge of only four teams of the history of the World Series, have lost the first two, and then come back to take a best of seven series. |
| 0:13.6 | Baltimore figured after the performances by Dave McNally and Jim Palmer, that the players have no chance to come back. |
| 0:19.7 | But Steve Blast probably fits one of the best ball games of the odds of being pitched all year against them. When he allowed the three hits in one run, and that was Frank Robinson's lead-off home run in the seventh inning. Glass was in complete control all the way. But there's some little things. I'm sure you know that Blass, a 15-game winner, won yesterday's third game of the World Series, |
| 0:39.0 | and put the Pirates back in yours. |
| 0:55.7 | I'm sure you know, or perhaps you haven't heard by now, that Bob Robertson, up in the seventh inning, with Roberto Clemente on its second base and Willie Shard 11th base, and run out, was given the Buntzahn. Robertson, who is a power hitter, a home run hitter, just doesn't get the buntz on, |
| 1:09.3 | wasn't looking for it, and swung away. Don Luppert, the first base coat, said, I thought to myself, uh-oh, I hope he doesn't hit into a double play. The ball cleared the right field fence for a three-run home run, and Robertson, who was supposed to punt, |
| 1:12.4 | put the pirates way out in front by the score of 5 to 1. |
| 2:17.7 | But there's some other points about yesterday's ballgame that I'd like to talk about tonight. And that is, first of all, catcher of Manning Sangean. With a score 1-0, San Guine hit a ball to short, right center field. Looked like a routine single. Rettman coming off to his left. And a Sangean letter said, anytime I see a fielder have to come to his left in center, I'm going to try to stretch a single into double. Sandgeon did, with his blazing speed. And that became a very big single turn into a double as the next man, Jose Pagong, got up and lashed a single to left deal and Sanle-in San Guyan, scored easily, and the strovers 2-0-0, and that run by San Guyan turned out to be the winning run of the ballgame. Now, I'm on the bench before the game, talking to Danny Murtaugh, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, I ask him about other fast catchers in the National American League. Another word, quick as the foot. I couldn't think about it. Well, Danny had to go back a little bit but said that Walker Cooper, when he first came up with the St. Louis Cartholans was extremely fast. And my question to him was, by the way, the roar of the crowd, as the pirates about to be introduced, my question to him was faster than Sandhion. |
| 2:19.0 | He said a 60-yard Walker Cooper back in those days |
| 2:20.3 | that had run away for many Zangian. And he also put Plaud McCullough in there as one of the fast catching of years gone by. But Zankeen has speed. Now with the score 2 to 1, after Robins' his home run to lead off the seven, we come to the last of the seven. |
| 2:34.2 | And another bit of hustle on the part of the pirates. |
| 2:37.9 | Hustle that put him right back in his world series. The front of Quennetti hit the ball right back to the mound to Mike Coyard. And easy out, right? Now, Conetti took off at full Gallup for first base. And Coyar, a little shaking that Quennetti would feel that he could even beat it out, |
| 2:53.9 | hurried his throw to first base, and pulled full towel off the bag. |
| 2:58.6 | And that meant that Panetti was safe on the throwing era. |
| 3:02.3 | And still shaken, Quayar, walked Starchel, and then gave up that home run to Bob Robertson. |
| 3:08.6 | So the hustle of Sandean, the hustle of Roberto Clemente, belong in the same book when you talk about yesterday's third game of the World Series, along with the pitching of Steve Glass and the home run by Bob Robertson. |
| 3:20.2 | The first game of this series was won by Dave McNally, five to three down in Baltimore. |
| 3:24.6 | The second game, after the rain delay of Sunday, all on Monday was the laughter for the oils. |
| 3:29.4 | They won going away 11 to 3. |
| 3:31.2 | But yesterday, the Pirates turned the tables. |
| 3:34.4 | Now, tonight, it'll be Luke Walker for the Pirates. |
| 3:37.1 | Luke Walker, as we said, is the first left-hander, |
