Back to Dave and good evening everybody.

Well, it's up for grabs tonight for the Red Sox.

This is it.

No tomorrow's hit they lose.

Pish to Tommy Harper to open the ball game is a strike call on the upside corner.

And you're going to hear that on almost every pitch tonight probably as Tiger Stadium is a

man-house, a snake bit with about 50,000 rabbit fan. There's a line drive face hit

the center field as Harper straightens down a slider and he's on to lead off the ballgame.

Tony Harper And he's on to lead off the ballgame. Tawny Harper, with 14 home runs,

49 RBIs, and a 250-4 batting mark,

singles sharply to center field.

So there goes prim Simon's no hitter. Louie apparition

up. Louie was a couple of hits last night and the stumble over third which was

really played up in the papers here and of course

Louis felt worse about it than anybody else.

Caperatio pitches a call strike.

Louis hitting 2.57, free home run, 39 runs batted in.

Harper takes the lead off first-base.

He's got a four, four-and-a-half-step lead.

Cashholes against him.

Climate moves over there and Harper gets back.

Norm Cash playing first-face, Dick McAuliffe a second, Eddie Brinkman at short, and Aurelio Rodriguez
