brilliantly for los angeles, and the main character involved was a rookie, a young picture named walker bueller who threw the first pitch of this game, and that was at over 100 miles an hour. he shut out the boston red sox hitters for seven innings. they scored nothing. then we had jock peterson of the los angeles dodgers at the bottom of the second innings, scoring a home run. that sent the crowd into raptures. they were really enjoying their peanuts and beer and the fact that at last, their team is winning the game. but at the bottom of the eighth, or rather, the top of the ape, the boston red sox ruined it all, getting a home run of their own, tying the game. they could have won it by now, actually, the red sox. they almost got a man home to homebase but he was just caught before he could make it. so there was more drama there. we are into extra innings and we don't know what is going to happen, it is a tight
