Just this side of the Orioles third base dugout. All right. Business about to get underway. Serious business between the Orioles and the Oakland A's. Game two of the American League Championship Series. The Orioles lead, one victory to none. Game three tomorrow in Oakland. Here we go with game two. As McNally takes on Bert Campanaris, let's bring in Chuck Thompson. Thank you very much, Bill O'Donnell. Good afternoon, everybody. The left-handers opening pitch is fast and low, and a ball one of them are underway. The right-hand swinging Campaneras, a 250 hitter on the year for the Oakland Athletics. And yesterday had one hit in three official at that, reached twice, once on a walk,

stole a base.

Fly ball, well hit, deep alley, left center field, Blair and Bundry racing effort.

It is gone.

A home run for Campanaris.

Into the Oreo bullpennylop.

A deep left center field.

Campanaris hits a one-nothing ditch out of the ballpark.

It's his fifth home run of the season and his first home run against the Orioles this year. And Oakland, just like that, takes a very

quick one-to-nothing lead over Dave McNally and the Orioles. McNally in 29 and two-third

innings against the Oakland A's this year

had thrown five home-run pitches.

And one of the key performers in everything that Oakland does,

Oakland won a nothing, and Rudy gets the ball one low and outside.

Rudy yesterday afternoon against the magnificent effort of Jim Palmer, failed a hit and two official at-bats. He walked twice, right-handed slinger, and the kind of a fellow who can do a lot of things with a bat, and the kind of a man that you could say will take the ball where it is pitch. McNally's won nothing to the right-hand swinging,. It's at high in the air toward right-fielder, Rich Coggins. Coggins is moving toward the foul line, setting up under a down. The right-fielder gloves it, and that's the first down to the ballgame, as Rudy has sky to the right-fielder. Banner number three will be foul Bando. Bandole Palmer yesterday afternoon. Failed a hit in three trips.

He struck out.

He ground at a third.

He walked and he fly to left field.

Sal Bando on the season, a 288 slinger, and a good, tough, long ball hitter is Bando.

And a lot better than you would think with a glove.

McNally is high and outside of ball one. Earl Williams doing the catching for the Orioles this afternoon. With Brooks Robinson at third, Mark Belanger at short, the second baseman Bobridge, and the first baseman is Boognellow. Now the one-nothing pitch to the right-hand cutting Bando. It's a breaking ball over the inside corner beneath and a strike is called. One ball,
