Umpires making their way out to home plate.

The lineup cards will be exchanged between Willie Starchel and

Roy McMillan, first base coach for the New York Mets.

Mark Williams will be the home plate umpire.

Harry Wendellstead will be at first base, Doug Harvey, the crew chief at second,

and Jerry Dale will be the third day sunfire.

Tomorrow's ballgame starts at 2.15.

It'll be on the pirate radio and television network.

Todd McGraw will get a start.

First time against the bucks this year to be starting.

His record six and ten for the pirates.

Jim Rooker, who has had to pitch two very big ball games and has come up with wins both times against the St. Louis Cardinals in those recent series in Pittsburgh and in St. Louis.

The Mets brought up a host of youngsters, but they are going with a veteran lineup against the

pirates. They played a kind of a young lineup the night before, giving their regulars

arrest, but last night the homerang bats of the pirates get into action very quickly, with

Sturgel hitting a three-run shot in the first inning to highlight a four-run inning, and

then Al Oliver came back with a big home run in a second inning and very quickly the pirates had a six-nothing lead

the big thing about last night's game was the ability of that ball club the pirates to come back from a

very tough defeat 13 to 12 in st. Louis and the way we lost it and come back and jump off so quickly as they did against a very good pitcher Jerry Kuzman.

And who also give the bullpen a bit of arrest with Juan Tizarro going eight strong innings and winding up the winning pitcher.

Hernandez closed it out.

Well, the Mets take the field. We'll set them for you defensively.
