Hello baseball fans and welcome back to today's game. My name is Rick Field and of course I am here once again with a man that seals the deal, Bob Copeland. It's a beautiful day to see two world-class teams face each other and fight for their right to be called champions. Well the national anthem has just been sung and the umpire has started the game. It's time to play ball. Roger Vargas is up at bat. Picture winds up and strike one. Very nice curveball by the pitcher. The catcher gives him the sign. He winds up and Vargas gets a line drive. The players are scrambling to get the ball. Vargas gets to first base and he's still going. The outfielder throws it to second. Vargas slides. He's safe. Great play. We have a runner on third and up at bat is Brian O'Camy. There's the pitch. He hits it. It's going. Going. That ball is gone. Home run by O'Camy. That puts this team ahead by two as we are at the bottom of the fifth inning here at Richie Stadium.
