Miley BB CD 1972 World Series Game 6
Called by Monte Moore and Jim Simpson (NBC Radio)

The only game in the Series that isn't a one-run affair is a Reds blowout.  Two hits each by Joe Morgan, Bobby Tolan, and Dave Concepcion lead the way, and Johnny Bench contributes to the offense with a home run.
