Niskayuna Nationals vs. Fairfax Peppers
SPB1-1979 NLCS GAME 1
NL League Championship series. Cleveland Spiders (91-71, Christopher Williams) vs.
Niskayuna Nationals (106-56, Don Rahn). Game played H2H on Williams’s computer.
Game 1 (10/2/1979):
In the series opener at Cleveland’s scenic Fenway Park, Nationals ace, 27-game winner Randy Jones
took the mound against 13-game winner Geoff Zahn. The Nats got things started early, as Joel Youngblood
deposited Zahn’s first pitch into the left field screen. But Zahn buckled down, and both pitchers were
up to the task. Zahn scuffled again in the 3rd, allowing two one-out singles before getting two harmless
ground balls to escape the inning unscathed. In the fifth, Jones started the inning by plunking Andre
Thornton, and the Spiders strung together a couple singles to drive him home (Rick Manning getting the
key RBI). In the 7th, the Spiders again threatened, and Jim Dwyer drove in the go-ahead run. But Dwyer’s
at bat proved costly. Dick Tidrow came on to pitch the 8th, hoping to hold the lead long enough to pass
it to closer Grant Jackson. After getting Youngblood to ground out. Dave Parker doubled, moved to third
on Jim Rice’s single, then scored on Ron Cey’s single, tying the game. Tidrow tried to be fancy in order
to induce the double play, but the ball got past Gene Tenace, advancing the runners to scoring position.
Tidrow then intentionally walked Willie Montanez, loading the bases. It worked momentarily, as Alfredo
Griffin flied out harmlessly to Otto Velez in right field. But Tidrow walked the light-hitting Rick Dempsey,
then walked pinch-hitter Denny Walling, making it 4-2. Although Jim Anderson led off the bottom of the
8th with a single off reliever Tom Burgmeier, Velez grounded harmlessly into a double play. Andre Thornton
reached on a Griffin error, but Jose Cruz grounded out to Griffin, ending the inning. Mickey Lolich, who
had come on to end the Niskayuna 8th, started the 9th inning by striking out Youngblood and getting Parker
to ground out. But he then walked Rice, and Cey drove the second pitch into the left-field screen, putting
the game out of reach.

SPB1-1979 NLCS GAME 2
Game 2 (10/3/1979):
Game2 pitted 19-5 Craig Swan against 12-game winner and long-time Cleveland rotation staple Jim Barr.
Again the Nats had the clear advantage. But Swan and Barr traded pitch for pitch through the first
seven innings. The Spiders struck first, partly thanks to Alfredo Griffin’s sloppy glove work. With
one out, Gene Tenace walked, Thornton reached on Griffin’s error, then 3b-man Wayne Gross singled home
Tenace. The Nationals evened the score in the 4th, when Ron Cey singled home Jim Rice. And so it
remained. The Spiders threatened in the 5th, as Rick Manning reached on a Joe Morgan error but was
thrown out at the plate by Parker. Pete Redfern came on to relieve Barr in the 8th and got himself
into trouble in the 9th. With two out, Montanez doubled, and Walling was walked intentionally. But,
batting for Swan, Youngblood delivered an infield hit, loading the bases. This brought on Grant Jackson,
who got Rick Miller to foul out to Gross. Rudy May came on for the Nationals to try to hold the tie, but
he was greeted by an Andre Thornton double. Junior Moore was announced as a pinch hitter, bringing on
Dick Drago. Jim Dwyer pinch-hit for Moore and walked. Jim Anderson tried and failed to bunt the runners
over but succeeded in the task anyway with an infield grounder. Drago then walked veteran Ken Henderson
to load the bases. Lefty Dan Schatzeder came on to hold the score, but Bucky Dent pinch hit for Rick
Manning, and greeted the new pitcher with an rbi single, ending the game.
Spiders 2 Nationals 1. WP-Grant Jackson (1-0), LP-Rudy May (0-1)
Series tied 1-1.

SPB1-1979 NLCS GAME 3
Game 3 (10/5/1979)
The series shifted to Niskayuna’s industrial cookie-cutter Three Rivers Stadium for the third game
of the series. 2nd-year pitcher Don Robinson started for the Spiders against lefty Fred Norman. The
game remained scoreless for the first two innings, though Robinson had to pitch himself out of a
bases-loaded jam in the 1st. The Spiders struck first in the 3rd, when Rick Manning scored on Rob
Wilfong’s bases-loaded double play. Robinson’s own single helped keep the inning going. In the bottom
half of the inning, Robinson struck out Griffin to start the inning, then walked Parker. Jim Rice doubled
him home, then Joe Morgan doubed Rice home. Ron Cey doubled Morgan to third, then Willie Montanez singled
home both runners. With two outs, Wilfong bobbled a grounder by Rick Miller, allowing Montanez to score,
putting the game out of reach at 5-1.
Or so it seemed. In the top of the 5th, Gene Tenace clubbed a two-run homer to the deepest part of
center field, bringing the Spiders back into the game. The Nationals got one run back when a clearly
shaky Robinson allowed Kendall to drive in an insurance run. In the 6th, after Dent doubled, Wayne Gross’s
grounder to Morgan scored the Spiders’ fourth run, narrowing the score to 2. The Nationals held that 6-4
lead into the 9th inning. The strategic chess moves of Game 2 were repeated. Lefty Dan Schatzeder came out
to start the inning, but when Junior Moore was announced as a pinch-hitter, manager Don Rahn brought in
the righty Drago. Jim Dwyer once again pinch-hit for Moore, and drew a walk from Drago, who had been
ineffective in Game 2. Ken Henderson then singled Dwyer to second, then Tenace singled home Dwyer,
narrowing the score to 1. This brought on Tom Burgmeier, who promptly gave up a double to Wilfong, scoring
Henderson. After Velez struck out, Thornton delivered a sac fly, Jose Cruz singled home Wilfong, then Dent
doubled home Cruz. This brought on Kobel, who scratched his way out of the inning with no further damage.
Grant Jackson came on to start the bottom of the 9th and quickly made it interesting. After getting Rice to
ground out, Morgan singled, and Cey walked. Youngblood pinch hit for Montanez and flew out to Velez. But
then Walling singled, loading the bases. This brought on Don Aase, who had been a starter most of the season.
Aase got pinch-hitter Matt Alexander to ground out harmlessly to Thornton ending the game, and the shell-shocking
comeback.

SPB1-1979 NLCS GAME 4
Game 4 (10/6/1979)
With their backs against the wall, the Nationals sent their ace Randy Jones back to the mound
on three-days’ rest. Initially it looked like a great idea, as he struck out Tenace and Wilfong
to start the game. Velez then singled, and Andre Thornoton homered over the Green Monster. But
Spiders starter Bob Stanley was also scruffy comig out of the gate, and the Nationals tied the
score in the bottom half of the inning. Rick Miller singled, followed by Alfredo Griffin. Then
with one out, Rice singled home Miller, and Griffin scored on Morgan’s sac fly. The score remained
tied at 2 until the 3rd, when Otto Velez doubled home Wilfong to give the Spiders a 3-2 lead. The
Spiders got two more in the fourth, when Wilfong singled home Stanley, who had reached on a botched
bunt attempt. Rudy May came on and got Velez to line out to Griffin, but Thornton singled home
Wilfong, making it 5-2. The Spiders added solo runs in the 6rh and the 8th, the last a solo shot
by Velez. Meanwhile, Bigfoot settled in, inducing grounders and walking just two. Having thrown
110 pitches, he was lifted for Grant Jackson, who closed out the 9th inning and sealed the Spiders
victory in the game and series.
Spiders 7 Nationals 2. WP-Bob Stanley (1-0). LP-Randy Jones (1-1). HR-Otto Velez (1), Ande Thornton (1)
Spiders win series 3-1.
Gene Tenace was named MVP for going 7-15 with a home run, 5 runs scored and 3 rbi.
