Late Runs End Reds End Losing Skid
The hosts drew first blood in the fourth with a pair of singles and ground outs to take a 1-0 advantage. Tom Haller (4th) would tie the game with a two-out, bases empty blast into the right field sun deck in the top of the fifth. Tony Perez gave the lead right back to Cincinnati in the bottom half of the frame with a clutch double that scored Bravo from first, who had started the rally with a two-out, bases empty single.
That lead would be short-lived after starter Jim McGlothlin walked Willie Davis to start the inning and Andy Kosco smacked a double to score the speedy outfielder from first to tie the game. After an intentional walk was issued to Wes Parker, Clay Carroll came on to squelch the threat and keep the game tied.
Joe Moeller provided seven strong innings, but gave up the eventual winning run to take the loss. Carroll garnered the win in relief, and Wayne Granger recorded the final four outs to get his ninth save.

Reds Drop 5th Straight--Dodgers only 4 out
The pitching matchup featured a pair of young flamethrowers, with Bill Singer starting his second game back from injury for the guests, while Gary Nolan took the hill for the home team. However, Nolan did not have it this night as the Dodgers jumped on him for three runs on four hits in the opening frame and never looked back. All of the damage came after two were out, as Wes Parker laced a double to right center and Billy Grabarkewitz singled to round out the scoring in the inning. Each collected three hits apiece for the game, with Parker only a home run shy of completing the cycle.
Singer was on, giving up just two runs on five hits and striking out five in seven innings of work against the Reds' thumpers. Nevertheless, the hosts chipped away at the lead with single runs in the third and seventh innings. Angel Bravo, who turned in a 2 for 4 night, knocked in both of the runs.
Los Angeles came right back in the eighth inning to squelch any thoughts of a dramatic comeback. After loading the bases against reliever Clay Carroll, Maury Wills lined a single to left. Bernie Carbo charged hard on the ball hoping to make a diving attempt, but the ball skipped by him and rolled to the wall for an error that cleared the bases.
Cincinnati did rally in the ninth, scoring two off Pete Mikkelsen to make it interesting up until the final out, but Tony Perez flied out to center as the potential tying run to end the game.

Ode to Crosley Field
June 18, 1970
So begins the process of saying goodbye to an old friend. It would be nice to say that many championships were battled for within these confines, but that is not so. There has been as much bad baseball as good played in this grand old man. But Crosley Field is indeed grand in itself. Its identity comes from the character of the place, not the teams that played within.
The new decade is a dawning of a new era for the Cincinnati Reds franchise, who starts the first of the final two series' against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. It is an important series, as the struggling Reds seek to end a four game losing streak against the second place Dodgers, who roll into town for four games in three days and stand five games back. If the Reds do not get their act together, the boys from the Left Coast could leave town a mere one game back.
So, over this last week of baseball played in this field, a journey of word and picture memories will follow.
