JACK BRICKHOUSE: "Aparicio in the batters box, getting ready to face old teammate Dick Donovan in the National opener from Washington. Donovan winds, here's the pitch, swung on and hit to left, Woodling is there, one away. Aparicio flies to left, one away, here's Nellie Fox, lefty facing righty here in this matchup. The pitch to Fox swung on and popped to 2nd, O'Connell's got it, 2 down. Donovan has retired the first 2, here's our old buddy, Minnie Minoso. Looks great after another spring training. doesn't he? The pitch to Minnie, grounded to Veal at short, throws to Long to retire the side in order. Nothing across, after half a inning, Sox 0, Senators coming to bat. Let's take a look at opening day in the Land of Sky Blue Waters, shall we?(Hamm's commercial)"
BRICKHOUSE: "Bottom of the 1st, Early Wynn pitching opening day again here in Washington. He'll face the shortstop Coot Veal to open the home half of the 1st. The pitch to Veal, grounded to short, Aparicio throws to Sievers, one away. That'll bring up the 3rd baseman Billy Klaus. Sox infield is Martin at 3rd Aparicio at short, Fox at 2nd and Old Senator Sievers at 1st. The pitch to Klaus, hit high in the air to left, Minnie's got it, 2 down. Now here's Marty Keough with 2 outs, no one on. The pitch to Keough, hit to centerfield, Landis puts it away, and the Senators go out in order as did the Sox in the top half. After 1, no score at Griffith Stadium."
Bottom of 4th
BRICKHOUSE: "Billy Klaus to lead off the Senator 4th in a scoreless game, each side with one hit. The pitch to Klaus, swung on and missed, strike three! Strike out number 2 for Early, one away for Keough, who flied to center his first time up. The pitch to Keough, grounded to the mound, it'll go through for a base hit. Keough aboard with a one-out single, 2nd Washington hit, here's Dale Long, who flied to Landis in the 2nd. The pitch to Long is popped up in the direction of Sievers. 2 away. That'll leave it to Woodling with 2 outs, one on. no score. Woodling grounded to 2nd in the 2nd. The pitch is swung on and lined into left, base hit. Keough rounds 2nd, heads to 3rd putting runners at the corners for Willie Tasby with 2 out. Wynn checks the runners, the pitch to Tasby, grounded to 2nd, it's through for a base hit, here comes Keough with the first run of '61 for Washington, Woodling stops at 2nd. Now here's O'Connell with 2 outs and a chance to add to the lead. He singled in the 3rd. The pitch to O'Connell is lined to Martin at 3rd to retire the side. However for Washington in the 4th, 1 run 3 hits, no errors, 2 left. After 4 innings of play, Senators 1, White Sox 0.
Top of 9th
BRICKHOUSE: "Donovan takes that slender 1-0 lead to the 9th, where he'll face the top of the Sox order, Aparicio, Fox and Minoso. 1 run, 5 hits, no errors for Washington, no runs, 3 hits, no errors for the Sox. The Senators have stranded 4, the Sox 3. Aparicio has flied to left, grounded to pitcher and to 1st, 0 for 3. The pitch to Aparicio, grounded to O'Connell, throws to Long, one away. Same 2 teams back at it Wednesday night, Billy Pierce against righthander Bennie Daniels. Nellie Fox is 0 for 3. popped twice to 2nd, fouled to the catcher. The pitch to Fox, hit to right, easy play for Keough, 2 down. Here's Minnie with the last hope for the Sox, he's grounded to short, to 3rd and struck out looking, 0 for 3. The pitch to Minnie, lined to left, base hit and the Sox are still alive. 4th Sox hit and the first one that has not gone for extra bases. Here's Sievers with renewed life and Minnie on 1st. Minoso can score on a long double here, so the Senators tighten up defensively. The pitch to Sievers, ground ball to 3rd, Klaus throws to O'Connell for the force and the Senators nip the Sox in an opening day thriller, 1-0."
