Podres back to Mantilla, and it's down low, ball two.

If we can stop you tonight, our chances of winning are a lot better because in the games the Dodgers win here, it seems like you're right in the middle of one of the rallies.

Well, let's say, uh, there's a lot of other fellas on our club can hurt you, too, like Maury Wills, Tommy Davis, and Miss Woodie Davis, and Ron Fairly.

There's a lot of other fellas on this club can hurt you.

You know, a kid that's done a great job for us and probably made our ball club is a 21-year-old catcher we have, McCarver, Jim.

And we'll have the lineups for you after a while.

Here's the way they line up.

For the Dodgers, Maury Wills at shortstop, Jim Gilliam at second base, Wally Moon in right field, Tommy Davis in left field hitting fourth, Ron Fairly at first base, John Roseboro is the catcher, Willie Davis in center field, Ken McMullen at third base hits eighth, and Johnny Podres, 13 and 10, on the mound for the Dodgers.

Outfield defense straight away.

Ron Fairly in left, Boots Day in center, Ken Singleton in right.

Temperature is 80 degrees and the humidity is 85% right now.

Here's a pitch low for a ball.

Theodore had started to hunch those shoulders over and that load to actually run to sneak up on it in the manner of Groucho Marx, but he laid off as Martinez went out to take the short pop.

Two away, and Ron Fairly will be the batter.

Batting for the number six

Willie Davis is hitting number three in center field.

Ron Fairly in right field batting four.

Lou Johnson is the left fielder.

Wes Parker will be at first base hitting six.

In the meantime, Drozski continues to play second base and do a competent job for the Dodgers.

There's a kind of a story, though.

LeFevre's bat, his favorite bat, is being used by Ron Fairly in this series, and most of you know Fairly's having a great series.

He picked it up the last week of the season and has been going so well swinging that LeFevre bat that he is going to continue to use it and carry it on home after the World Series is all over.

After an inning and a half, it's two-two between Montreal and Pittsburgh, Baylor Moore against Bruce Kison.
