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

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 ...
