SV Brunet 1The Angels fly into Ohio to challenge the Indians in a four game set. Neither team tearing it up yet, still looking for traction in this new year. The game stayed scoreless despite itself through 5. Both teams had chances but the dreaded hits with runners in scoring position evaded each club. Top 6, the Halos broke out. Jay Johnstone sliced one into the left center gap that hugged the wall long enough for Jay to cruise into 3rd. Bonus baby Rick Reichardt caught up to a Sudden Sam fast one, sending it out toward Lake Erie and a 2-0 lead. They added another in the 7th, a walk and single out 2 on. McDowell got the next two but Jim Fregosi lined a single to center making it 3-0. Meanwhile Jack Sanford sailed thru 6, scattering six hits, Bottom 7, the Tribe broke through, a Duke Sims double and a two out single by Larry Brown cut the deficit to 2. Bill Kelso came back out in the 8th after cleaning up the previous inning mess. He did not quite make out so well. Davillillo singled then Kelso had no idea when the ball was going, walking three straight forcing in a run, making it a one run game. Minnie Rojas came in to see if he could put out the fire but alas, he just poured gasoline on the flame. Leon Wagner tied their game on a sac fly and Sims cleared the bases with a blast into the bleachers in right, seeing Cleveland go from three down to three up. Two singles later chased Rojas but no additional damage. Top 9 with their last chance facing George Culver, Jimmie Hall singles and Fregosi singled one out later bringing the tying run to the plate. A walk loaded them up bringing Reichardt who looked at a third strike. Down to their last out, Jose Cardenal ripped one to the deepest part of the park and didn’t stop running until the bases cleared and the game was tied. Bottom 9, the home club put together two singles with 2 out bringing up Sims who was having a big game. His long fly died on the warning track putting this one into overtime. Top 11, the meat of the Angel order came up. Fregosi singled and raced hone on a Tom Satriano double. Tim didn’t have to run hard when he scored on the front end of Reichardt’s second blast of the game. George Brunet came in and made things interesting surrendering a pair of singles before closing out the game.
