Cincinnati Kids at Louisville Sluggers, Game One                      September 25, 1009

 

Carl Mays (16-13) vs. Whit Wyatt (21-9)

 

Two of the all-time CPBA pitching grand-masters will hook up this evening in Louisville as the Sluggers host the Cincinnati Kids in Game One of the 4^th annual CPBA World Series.

 

Paul Molitor gets things going right away off of Whit Wyatt with a double to center field.  After an infield out, Joe Dimaggio delivers Molitor with a single right past Wyatt into center.  Kids up 1-0.

 

In the home half of the 1^st, Cesar Cedeno walks and moves to third when Babe Herman singles to right. With 2 outs, Ted Kluszewski steps in . . . and he grounds harmlessly back to pitcher Carl Mays to end the threat.

 

In the Cincy second, Frank Baker doubles and moves to third on a slow roller to the infield.  With 2 out, Carlton Fisk increase the lead to 2-0 when he singles past second baseman Eddie Collins.  Molitor follows with a single; Fisk stops at second.  John Henry Lloyd works a walk to load the bases for the red-hot Joe Dimaggio.  Wyatt ends the inning by inducing a grounder back to the mound.

 

In the Louisville second, a walk, a wild pitch and 2-out single by Lenny Dykstra (starting in place of the injured Carl Furillo), cuts the lead to 2-1.  Eddie Collins singles and Cesar Cedeno doubles both runners home to put the Sluggers ahead, 3-2.  Josh Gibson singles to center and Cedeno comes around to make it 4-2.  Herman singles to put runners at 1^st and 2^nd with 2 outs.  Carl Mays doesn’t seem tired, but he’s not fooling anyone right now.  He stays in to face Big Klu . . . who blasts a home run into deep right, to score the seventh runs of the inning.  The Sluggers have just put on a clinic this inning.  In comes Sparky Lyle to end things.  He gets Ernie Banks to pop to short and we go into the third inning with the Sluggers up 7-2!

 

The Sluggers pick up insurance runs and the Kids, with the help of an error, put one more run on the board in the 6^th.  Wyatt is excused for the day, mostly to rest for the possibility of three starts in 9 days.  As the game heads into the home 6^th, it’s Louisville 10, Cincinnati 3.

 

The teams trade runs until the game ends with Louisville up 13-5.
