I'm back in Press Box B where the no flinching rule is strictly enforced. Again, it's an honor to be sitting next to Texas broadcast legend with Lin Michaels from TCRN.
Between innings, I learned that Lin played at Tyler Junior College (1970 and '71) and was a batboy for the Houston Astros ('69, 70. '71). The Houston native's first game as bat boy was a no-hitter thrown by Astro Don Wilson. The bat boy he replaced worked a no-hitter the previous day when Cincinnati's Jim Maloney threw one at the Astros. It's still the only time two no-hitters were thrown in the same series.
Eastfield scratched out a run in the bottom of the fourth and Manchester is hitting Mills, who threw 102 pitches after five innings, quite hard. Mills had an uneventful sixth inning and returned for the seventh with 117 pitches on his dance card.
Eastfield has the bases loaded with one out...
Manchester 000 300........381
Eastfield 220 10.........571
