NL Play In Game #2: "Perry spins 2 hit gem"

Play In Game #2
10/1 - Candlestick
Erskine vs G.Perry
SFG 5, BRO0

The only story to tell today is that future HOF'er Gaylord Perry put together a HOF performance to send 'Dem Bums a packin'.  Perry used his whole arsenal, both leagal and less than legal, to toss a nifty 2 hit shutout.  Once again the Say Hey kid forgot to check his 40 year old birth certificate to realize he's not supposed to play a gold glove CF and hit another 2 run shot, which turned out to be the GWRBI.  San Fran added 3 more in the 5th to chase rookie Carl Erskine (4ER/5IP) from the hill.  Reese and Campy provided Brooklyn's only 2 hits.  San Fran only had 5 hits, but they cashed in big time as the youthful "Oisk" walled 7 after getting shelled by Mays.  Interim manager Mark Nixon and his charged up Jints move on to the Wild Card game in Riverfront vs Tom Browning and the Reds.
