BOTTOM OF THE 8th, Cardinals 4, Braves 3

* A. Spohrer facing W. Hallahan, B 8th, No Outs, Bases Empty, Behind 3-4

Hallahan delivers ... hard shot to the right side ... Bottomley to his right ... it's by him

base hit for Spohrer ... the tying run is on ... that's Spohrer's 2nd hit of the game

* F. Maguire facing W. Hallahan, B 8th, No Outs, Runner on 1st, Behind 3-4

Hallahan deals ... swung on ... it's in the air to right ... Blades camps in his tracks

and brings it down ... one down ... and Spohrer returns to first ... as the throw comes in

Braves skipper Stew Rhodes (1930s) walking down the bench

You can mark pitcher Ed Brandt out for the Braves ... Rhodes (1930s) not letting him bat

Johnny Neun is enlisted to hit for him ... switch-hitter ... he wheels out with a wagon spoke

heads to the box ... so Brandt gets his innings ... he pitched eight ... he leaves with

4 runs ... 1 earned ... on 7 hits ... he stands to lose it unless the Braves

can make up the 1-run deficit

* J. Neun facing W. Hallahan, B 8th, 1 Out, Runner on 1st, Behind 3-4

Hallahan comes home ... misses the strike zone ... Neun ambles to first
