Pool 2, Round 1

Joe Morgan opens the scoring for the Reds in the first inning with a two run home run.

This was a night to forget for Warren Spahn. The Reds hit him early and often, jumping out to a three

run lead before the third inning. In the fourth, the bad times continued for Spahn as his counterpart

Tom Seaver came up with the bases loaded and one out. Seaver lined a shot off Spahn's leg, buying

enough time to score Dan Driessen and ensuring that the only out the Braves could get was at first

base. It prove to be the deciding run.

Tom Seaver (left) was unhittable through 7.1 innings, striking out 13 batters in the process. His

no-hitter would come to an end in the eighth inning when Joe Adcock (right) connected for a solo home

run. Seaver's only other flaw in the game was a leadoff walk in the first inning to Red Schoendienst.

Hank Aaron came to the plate as the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning, but Reds closer Pedro

Borbon induced a foul fly that left fielder George Foster was able to track down for the last out of the

game.

T1: Morgan two run HR

T2: Concepcion solo HR

T4: Seaver grounds out to the pitcher, scores Driessen

That's the end of Round 1 in Pool 2. Only one really big upset in that round, the #24 '41 Red Sox over the #9 '54 Giants. There are five Yankee teams in Round 2, setting up two possible Yankee/Yankee matchups in Round 3. We'll see what happens.
