Two new teams make their debut in some Sunday night baseball. Real Baltiwashingsota travels to Ebbets Field (1953) to take on The Dodgers, Detroit and Southern California…It’s the Big Train vs the Ryan Express as Walter Johnson squares off for the visitors against Nolan Ryan…Three strikeouts for Real Balt spread around a walk and a single and no runs to start the game…Three men went to the plate and three men were sent back to the dugout by Walter Johnson in the bottom of the first…The Ryan Express has gone off the rails…He’s given up 5 hits and 5 runs plus a walk and was hurt by an error by Ty Cobb…He’s been given the hook after getting only one out in the second…Rube Marquard is coming in to face Dave Winfield…Woof…Marquard allows four more runs…All told it’s 9 runs on 6 hits and three walks in the second for Real Balt…13 men went to the plate and each one reached base as all three outs came in the base paths with two runners thrown out at the plate…9-0 after one-and-a-half…The Dodgers strand a pair in the third…The Dodgers are retired in order in the fourth…A walk, a single, and a three-run-home run by Andre Dawson are the end of Rube Marquard…Burleigh Grimes will see what he can do to quiet the opposition bats…The Dodgers get back two on four singles…They trail 14-2 after five…The Dodgers strand a runner in the sixth…Despite a lead off single, Real Balt sends only three men to the plate for the first time today. 15-2 as we head to the seventh inning stretch…An error by Ripken allows Pee Wee Reese to reach first safely but he gets no further…Still 15-2 going to the eighth…Cooper retires the side in order…Big Train retires the side one-two-three and we’re heading to the ninth…A two-out triple by Roy Campanella provides an unnecessary bit of excitement in the bottom of the ninth for everyone who wanted to get out of the park to either celebrate or forget the game…Real Baltiwashingsota earns the W with 15 runs on 16 hits and one error…The Dodgers, Detroit, and Southern California score 2 on 7 hits and two errors.
