From Three River Stadium with Bob Francis is Nellie K to greet you for the last regularly scheduled game of

1973 between the Pirates and the Montreal Echoes. The magic number is two. Any combination of met wins and pirate losses totally do.

We put the pirates out of the 1970s.

But that thing is still a possibility because out in Chicago,

after five and a half innings of play,

no score in that game, John Matlack going against Rick Russell.

This afternoon, Jim Rucker will make a start,

and he'll be going against Ernie McAnnelly. We had a very tender moment on the field before on the pregame show talking to Eddie Dunn.

He received the accolades of the pirate players, management and the Steeler Madison, too.

And a very tender performance on the field.

Bob Prince will be along later to talk about that and bring you the ball game and it seems down on the field right now.

I'll have the opening line-ups for this final game after I remind you this game is brought to you in part by Iron City Beer.

When you're really ready to pour it on, pour on the iron by your Pirate Land Chrysler, Plymouth Deut.

Who reminds you now is the time to check out the beautiful new

1974 superstar Chrysler's and Plymouth.

And by your host for the opening inning,

Atlantic Richfield Company, makers of Arco-Supreme gasoline,

and other fine petroleum products.
