00:01New York leading off shortstop Julian Murphy.

00:08Batting second center.

00:09Fans, it couldn't get any better than this.

00:12After 153 games, New York and Chicago are dead even.

00:16They're playing each other on the last day of the season

00:19for the chance to go to the World Series.

00:22Both teams are starting their aces.

00:24Mike Everly for New York

00:26and the incomparable Harry the Wing Willett

00:28will go for the Chicago Barons.

00:30Harry and the Barons have waited a long time for this shot.

00:34Harry's his whole career, in fact.

00:36He's won a ton of games over the decades.

00:39And if he can win just one more, well...

00:43Batting seventh and playing left, Bart Hamishman.

00:51And, of course, Willett can't afford to group one to Benson

00:54who's already hit 33 home runs this year.

00:57Blake with a lead off first.

00:59Here's the kick in the pitch.

01:01Swung on.

01:02There's a hot shot to the right side.

01:04Backhanded by Smalls.

01:05Over to Murphy.

01:06For one, on to Max Fair for the double play.

01:09And that closes out New York

01:11here in the bottom half of the third.

01:13We've played three.

01:15We've still scored it.

01:16This is real baseball.

01:18The play will be escorted from the stadium.

01:21The third ball.

01:22Swung on and missed for strike three.

01:24And that's Harry Willett's eighth strikeout.

01:26And we're only in the sixth inning.

01:28After all these years, the veterans still had that high hard one.

01:32Harry may get into a few scrapes now and then off the field.

01:36But on the mound, he's all business.

01:39The pure professional.

01:41Runners hit the corners with one out.

01:46Here's the one, one pitch.

01:48Swung on.

01:49There's a fly ball to left.

01:50This might be deep enough.

01:52Hemsmith comes in.

01:53Makes the catch.

01:54The throw's not nearly in time.

01:56And Chicago has broken through with a run.

01:59Emily checks the runner.

02:00And here's the one, one pitch.

02:01Deloitte.

02:02Swung on and driven to deep center.

02:03Feed him and back to the warning track.

02:04And he hauls it in.

02:05And that's the end of that threat for Chicago.

02:07And they're half of the night.

02:08No runs.

02:09Two hits.

02:10No errors.

02:11And they strand three.

02:12Well, here we go.

02:13Fasten your seatbelt.

02:14It's the bottom of the ninth inning coming up.

02:15Chicago nursing a one-run lead.

02:17Standing on Kenny, flight standard.

02:38Weren't the ninth, and there's still no action in the Chicago bullpen.

02:41the night, then there's still no action in the Chicago bullpen. Harry the wing

02:44Ouellette has been brilliant, but even he must be feeling the mounting pressure.

02:50Looks like Chicago's chances are all going to ride squarely on Harry's back

02:55in this ballgame. Well, it's hard to believe that it all comes down to this.

03:01Chicago ahead by one, bottom of the night, two outs. New York's leading base

03:05dealer, the fleet-footed Steve Brand at first base, to count three and two. So it's

03:10down to perhaps one last pitch to decide who gets a ticket to the World Series.

03:16The batter, Edward, little Eddie McVie, never a long ball threat. His job now is to keep

03:22the New York season alive any way he can. A tall order the way Harry the wing Ouellette's

03:27been pitching this afternoon. The Baron's ace, nothing short of magnificent. The crowd

03:32is on its feet. Ouellette's taking a long look into catcher Tommy Horner. Ironically,

03:37his longtime pal and catcher, Raymond Maracle, now sits in the opposing team's dugout.

03:42Now or never, the Baron's dream of a series shot, a trip to the October Classic, riding

03:48on the strong right arm of Harry Ouellette. Ouellette kicks and fire.

04:03That's okay, King. I've seen enough for today.

04:05Yeah, you have to tell me again. Okay, so what do you think?

04:09Hi, Harry.

04:10He's good. You kid's good. Stick around for a while.

04:13But you don't work.

04:14Let's do this.

04:15的
