Bill Hands No Hits Division Leading Roadies!

In Game 3, Luis Aparicio's 2 run HR started the onslaught as the Brawlers knocked Billingham out of the box, backing Bill Hand's no hit win 5-0. Here's Ernie to tell about the bottom of the 9th:

* BOTTOM OF THE 9th, Brawlers 5, Roadies 0

For Knarro it'll be ... AKER DAVALILLO and YASTRZEMSKI…put off your visit to the refrigerator, folks ... fantasy is about to outstrip reality

Well, fans, while the drama builds ... let's take a little break ...we have a Mary G. ... she wants to meet at Lou's after work thanks to everyone who takes the time to write ... and now back to the pitch...

Roadies' manager Casey Foo is looking at his scoresheet. Foo is taking pitcher AKER out of the game ... John MAYBERRY will bat in his place. He grabs some timber ... heads out ... AKER pitched three innings ...he yielded one earned run ... on 2 hits

Bill HANDS staring in ... ready to work. He cranks and fires ... taken ... strike three ... he's gone ... one down. Vic DAVALILLO is now up. HUNDLEY set…HANDS into the wind ... DAVALILLO chops it toward POWELL ... he backs up and he waves off HANDS and takes it himself ... and that's out number two.

Carl YASTRZEMSKI is up next. YASTRZEMSKI ready to bat. HUNDLEY sets up. Here's a pitch ... YASTRZEMSKI lofts a routine fly ball to center ...STANLEY drifts in and hauls it in ... and that's the last out of the game.

The Roadies have lost this game ... the Brawlers have won it ... Bill HANDS has a no-hitter! ... a 1-walk no-hitter ... listen to that visiting crowd cheering the opponent...they appreciate a good performance!

Bill HANDS, the no-hit hero surrounded by his teammates ... here's the line... Brawlers...5 runs on 9 hits ... one miscue ... they leave 6 ... for the Roadies ... no runs hits no errors ... and they leave 2 ... this is WAPBA and Ernie Harwell ... saying so long from Knarro ... final score Brooklyn Center Brawlers 5 ... Knarro Roadies nothing.
