Don Wilson - May 22, 1971
May 22, 1971
vs. San Francisco (Rich Robertson)
The Giants had a lead after Bobby Bonds took Wilson deep in the top of the third, but that's all the Giants would get off of Wilson. They had their chances to do more damage leaving nine men on base.
Meanwhile, the Astros offense took a while to get started, but they have another good game giving Wilson plenty of run support. Joe Morgan was a one man wrecking crew for the Astros. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 on the strength of two doubles and a single.

November 16, 1974 - Pacers at Spurs
November 16, 1974
Pacers at Spurs
The Spurs trailed by as many as 15 in the third quarter and found themselves down 96-85 at the end of the quarter. The Pacers would go cold in the fourth and, when they were not missing shots, they were putting the Spurs on the free throw line. Eventually the Spurs took the lead only to give it back as we near crunch time. The Spurs went on a bit of a run and this game looked like it might go down to the wire.
Bob Netolicky's jumper with just two timing units gave the Pacers a 122-121 lead. So, we are down to one shot. George Gervin, like Pacers star George McGinnis, had fouled out, so the Spurs would have to get the big shot from someone else. James Silas received the inbound pass and he found Swen Nater for the open look. Nater shoots, and he nails it! Last shot of the game and the Spurs win 123-122!
The Spurs won this game at the free throw line making 27 of 32 free throws while the Pacers only took 16 (making 15).

Don Wilson - May 17, 1971
May 17, 1971 vs. San Diego (Dave Roberts)
The Astros broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Joe Morgan's double scored Jesus Alou and Jack Hiatt. Cesar Cedeno followed with a single scoring Morgan. The Astros added two more in the seventh on a Cedeno single that scored Roger Metzger and a Denis Menke double that scored Cedeno.
Cedeno and Morgan each had three hits, but the real story of this game was Wilson. He took a no-hitter into the eighth. He retired Ivan Murrell to start the inning, but Ed Spiezio broke it up with a double. Leron Lee drove him in with a double to break up the shutout bid.

Don Wilson - May 12, 1971
May 12,1971 @ New York (Tom Seaver)
Pity the poor National League as The Don Wilson Total Domination Tour hit New York where Wilson out-pitched the great Tom Seaver.
Roger Metzger led off the game with a single and then scored on Jimmy Wynn's double. Seaver settled down after that and was indeed Tom Terrific until the later innings striking out 8 in the first six innings. Wilson matched Seaver's strike out total while shutting out the Mets through six.
The Astros picked up an unearned run in the top of the seventh when Don Hahn misplayed a Metzger fly ball allowing Doug Rader to score. Jimmy Wynn scored on an eighth inning Norm Miller double. Cesar Cedeno's single brought Miller home to give the Astros a 4-0 lead.
Fred Gladding relieved Wilson in the ninth and allowed an inherited runner to score. It would be the only tally for the Mets.
Although Seaver struck out 9 while walking only 1, the Astros did tag him for 10 hits.
The big surprise of the these first few games has been the Astros hitting. It really wasn't very good in real life, but it's been pretty good so far in the replay.

Nov. 9, 1974 ABA - Pacers at Spurs
November 9, 1974
Pacers at Spurs
Collis Temple's late 4th
quarter shot brought the Spurs to within a point of the Pacers with just
one shot left. The Spurs intentionally fouled Darrell Hillman who hit both
his free throws to make it a 131-128 game. The Spurs missed the
potential game tying three pointer on the last shot of the game.
The Pacers had a big advantage at the free throw line shooting 41 free throws to the Spurs 27. In fact, Swen Nater, Rich Jones, and Coby Dietrick fouled out of the game while George Gervin and George Karl had five fouls each.
The free throw disparity and some poor shooting by the spurs helped the
pacers to open up a 16 point lead in the second half. The Spurs slowly chipped away in the fourth quarter before coming up just short. Next week - a rematch of these two teams.

May 2, 1971
New York (Jerry Koosman) @ Houston
Wilson and Koosman hooked up for an old fashioned pitchers duel. Wilson pitched beautifully allowing only two baserunners to reach scoring position. Koosman was also terrific striking out 8 Astros in eight innings.
The only score of the game came on a bad break for
Koosman. In the bottom of the fifth Cesar Cedeno reached on a Bob
Aspromonte error and then scored on a Jack Hiatt double. Koosman loses
on an unearned run!

1974-75 ABA - Spurs at Squires
San Antonio at Virginia
November 2, 1974
While the Squires proved a pesky bunch, they just didn't have enough to keep up with the Spurs as San Antonio wins 106-96. Although George Gervin dominated the first half, teammate Rich Jones stole the spotlight from "The Iceman" in the second half and posted a game high 32 points. Gervin finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Swen Nater snagged a game high 16 rebounds.
The Squires attack could only be described as balanced. Dave Tzardzik and Willie Wise each scored 14, while Gorge Irvine scored 13 and two other players scored an even dozen. But you're not going to beat the Spurs shooting just 41%.

The Phillies scored a first inning run off of Wilson, but that's all they would get off him. Meanwhile, Randy Lersh initially baffled the Astros striking out four of the first seven hitters he faced before the Astros figured him out. After scoring three in the third, they sent Lersh to the showers by scoring two more runs in the sixth.
Bob Watson had a another fine game in support of Wilson. He went 2 for 4 with 3 RBI. Roger Metzger went 3 for 5 including two doubles.

Herb Score - June 2, 1956
June 2, 1956 @ Washington (Dean Stone)
Another game and more gopher ball problems for Score. It started well enough as the Tribe staked him to an early 4-1 lead. It went south in a hurry. A walk and an outfield error set the stage for a game tying three run Roy Sievers blast in the third. A fourth inning solo shot by Lyle Luttrell gave the Senators a 5-4 lead.
The Indians were also playing long ball and Al Smith's solo seventh inning shot tied the game at 5-5. In the top of the ninth Al Rosen came on to pinch hit for Sam Mele and he crushed a deep shot to right field. Will it clear the fence? The ballpark roll says... yes! The Indians go on to win a home run derby type game 7-5.

Don Wilson - April 23, 1971
April 23, 1971 vs Expos (Carl Morton)
Wilson pitched very well with just a minor hiccup in the fourth when he allowed two runs. Ron Hunt scored on a Rusty Staub double before Jim Fairey drove in Ron Fairly with the second run. As well as Wilson was pitching, Carl Morton was even better tossing eight shutout innings before being relieved by Mike Marshall. Marshall promptly melted down. Denis Menke led off with a double and then scored on Bob Watson's triple. Cesar Cedeno's double brought home Bob Watson with the tying run and Doug Rader with the winning run.

Don Wilson - April 16, 1971
April 16 at Los Angeles (Sandy Vance)
Wilson struggled a bit early allowing single runs in the first and second. Bob Watson's two homer tied the game at 2-2 in the third. The Astros broke the tie with three runs in the fifth. Two of the runs came on another Watson blast. The Dodgers took advantage of a Jimmy Wynn error to put up two unearned in the bottom of the fifth and get to within a run of the Astros, but the visitors responded with an insurance run in the eighth.

Don Wilson - April 11, 1971
April 11, 1971 vs Chicago Cubs (Bill Hands)
In this game both pitchers performed well only to see their respective bullpens falter, When it was all over, the Cubs pen sucked a little less than the Astros pen and they win 7-5.
Wilson got off to a rough start allowing the Cubs to turn three first inning walks into two runs. He righted himself and then retired 20 of 21 during one stretch before the Cubs added a single run in the eighth. Hands was even better and shut out the Astros until allowing single runs in the sixth and seventh,
Then the bullpens came on and mucked it up. First, Bill Bonham and Phil Regan combined to give up three runs to the Astros in the bottom of the eighth. Fred Gladding gave the two run lead right back in the top of the ninth, so we head off to extra innings tied 5-5.
Apparently not to be out done by Gladding, Jim Ray coughed up to two more runs in top of the tenth. Ray made an error on the lead off hitter Ron Santo before eventually giving up a two run single by Joe Pepitone. The Astros had runners on first and third in the bottom of the tenth, but Rich Thompkins worked out of that jam to get the Save.
Bob Watson had three RBI for the Astros.

April 6, 1971 vs the Dodgers (Claude Osteen)
The Astros scored early and often in this one building a 9-1 lead through six innings. Wilson owned the Dodgers until enigmatically giving up a four spot in the seventh. The Dodgers added a couple more in the eighth to make it an almost interesting 9-6 game, but the Astros responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning and win 12-7.

May 23, 1956 vs. Boston (Frank Sullivan)
Smith (CLE)
Gopher balls once again proved problematic for Score. The game started well enough for the Tribe on Al Smith's first inning two run homer, but that's all the Indians would get off of Frank Sullivan.
The Red Sox answered with a run in the second before launching a couple of deep shots off Score. Jimmy Piersall gave the Sox a 3-2 lead with a two run blast in the sixth. Dick Genert's solo shot in the eighth gave the Sox an additional run. Sullivan pitched well (4 hits, 3 walks, and one hits batsmen in 7.1 innings), though the Indians certainly had some chances leaving nine on base.

Gopher balls once again proved problematic for Score. The game started well enough for the Tribe on Al Smith's first inning two run homer, but that's all the Indians would get off of Frank Sullivan.

W - Score L - Pascual

Home Runs - Oravetz (WAS), Carlos Paula (WAS), Jim Busby (CLE), Score (CLE)
The Indians score five runs early and send Pascual to the showers after only 3.1 innings. Score was sailing along until the seventh when the Senators blasted two home runs off him. Score's fourth inning homer off Pascual seemed like icing on the cake at the time, but after the Senators put up that four spot, it turned out to be the difference in the game.

Young Mr. Malone
I'm not sure how many games I'll end up playing, but I intend to occasionally work in a game or two from the 1974-75 ABA set by featuring a 19 year old Moses Malone. He played for the fairly mediocre Utah Stars. Since I grew up a Rockets fan and Mo was one of my favorite players, I thought it would be fun to play a few games from his rookie season. First up, the San Antonio Spurs with George Gervin.
What a crazy game! I keep saying that, but check it out.
Stars 36 38 27 35 - 136
Spurs 36 34 24 26 - 120
Highlights -
* Both teams shot like crazy in the first half. Utah was 31 of 44 (70%) while San Antonio was 28 of 49 (57%). The half time score was 74-70.
* Utah's dynamic duo of Malone and Ron Boone were a combined 30 of 40 from the floor!
* Malone led all scores with 34 points and also grabbed a game high 12 rebounds.
* Boone scores 31 for the Stars.
* While George "The Iceman" Gervin scored 26 for the Spurs, Rich Jones led the team with 29.
* Swen Nater led San Antonio with 11 rebounds.
* Final shooting percentages - Utah 67% (56/84)
San Antonio 52% (49/95)

1993-94 Rockets - Game 4
November 13, 1993
Rockets vs Suns
Rockets lose 113-97.
Olajuwon scored 23 on 11 of 17 shooting. Otis Thorpe chipped in 15 and Robert Horry scored 14.
The main problem for the Rockets was that Phoenix just shot lights out - especially AC Green. Green led Phoenix with 20 points on 8 of 10 shooting!
The Phoenix attack featured great balance. In addition to Green's 20, Dan Majerle scored 19 and Kevin Johnson added 18 while Charles Barkley and Cedric Ceballos scored 16 each. Sir Charles also grabbed 18 rebounds.
The Rockets are now 2-3. Surely it will get better. Can't get much worse.
