Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's a shot into the hole and through into left field for a base hit for Ray Knight.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So Knight, a one-out single to left, and that will bring up Danny Heap, who was born to be a designated hitter.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
After all, those are his initials.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's a funny kid, Danny Heap.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And he asked me, he said, what do you think you have to do to play regular on this club? He said, the team bus would have to go off the road.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, it didn't go off the road last night, but he kind of pushed the Sox bus off the road.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Remember when the Sox messed up the rundown, the bases were loaded, it was Danny Heap who singled in two runs in a big first inning.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
More one.

Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Darryl Strawberry in right field and you can see a change.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Danny Heap is in left.

He is an offensive hitter, loves fastballs, and so he's in there for the slumping Mookie Wilson.

Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Fernandez knew he would have to scoop it over to his first baseman, Hernandez, but not in time.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So for Milt Thompson, who was the best pinch hitter in the major leagues last year, now they want him to be a regular and the drought is over.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He had gone 0 for 13 before dragging for a hit.
Vin ScullySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And here is Juan Samuel.

Knight to second base will hold, and when Evans bobbles, he goes to third.
Vin ScullyHOST
[crowd cheering] Dwight Evans, who committed only five errors all year, and only two since the middle of July, has allowed the tying run to get 90 feet away with nobody out, and Danny Heep will come up to bat for Rafael Santana.
Vin ScullyHOST
John McNamara on his way out to the mound.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The curve ball is the pitch that is hurting him this inning.
Vin ScullyHOST
Here's the pitch to Mookie.
Vin ScullyHOST
Breaking ball and he stayed right on it.
Vin ScullyHOST
[crowd cheering] So Danny Heep will come up to bat for Santana with the tying run 90 feet away and nobody out.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Heep is a good fastball hitter.
