Page 14 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1978 the sports Lopes’ two homeruns lead L.A. n Dodgers pound Yankees in opener United Press International LOS ANGELES — Having run head-on into a tidal wave of “Dodger Blue” emotion, the New York Yan kees, rocked by 15 hits and three homers, tum to Catfish Hunter, the catalyst of their miracle of 1978 com eback, in an effort to get even tonight in the second game of the World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers came out wearing black patches bearing the numeral 19 on their uniform sleeves Tuesday night in tribute to their late coach, Jim Gilliam. They took out their bereavement on the Yankees, 11-5, with Davey Lopes’ two home runs triggering the vic tory. Gilliam, who died Sunday night after lying in a coma for three weeks following a cerebral hemorrhage, will be buried today. “Jimmy’s up there watching us,” said Lopes, who belted a two-run homer in the second inning and added a three-run blast in the fourth to increase the Dodgers’ lead to 6-0. The Yankees should know they’re playing 50 of us out there now in stead of 25. That’s because Jimmy’s spirit is in every one of us and he’s in all the right holes.” Meanwhile the Yankees didn’t score until the seventh inning and managed just two fly balls out of the infield over the first six innings against Tommy John, the Dodgers’ 35-year-old sinkerball specialist.

Thanks for helping us Suggestions: “Our scouting report on John was probably the best thing we had in the game,” said Yankee Manager Bob Lemon. “They said he doesn’t like to let the ball go airborne and that’s pretty much what happened until the Dodgers started throwing the ball around in the late innings.” Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda will go with his top winner, right hander Burt Hooton, in hopes of tak ing a 2-0 lead in games back to New York. The Dodgers wasted no time in giving John a comfortable cushion. After wasting a pair of singles in the first inning, they began to take Yan kee starter Ed Figueroa apart in the second. Dusty Baker led off with the first home run of the Series — a blast that just cleared the wall in left. Rick Monday was next with a lined double to center that Mickey Rivers almost caught at his shoetips. When Figueroa walked Lee Lacy, Lemon came to the mound for a chat with his 20 game-winning right-hander. The talk apparently did some good because the next batter, Steve Yeager, hit into a double play, but Lopes drilled a 400-foot shot over the left-center field wall. The record Dodger Stadium crowd of 55,997 screamed for a curtain call that Lopes obliged by stepping out of the dug- out and tipping his hat to the crowd. Their home-run bats having forged the early lead, the Dodgers turned to their singles attack to pad it after Lopes’ second shot. An infield single by Ron Gey, a lined single by Dusty Baker and a wild pitch from reliever Ken Clay made it 7-0 in the fifth. Three more Dodger runs came in the seventh when Steve Garvey and Baker sing led, pinch hitter Bill North doubled over third base for two runs and Lee Lacy, the Dodgers’ first-ever World Series designated hitter, singled home North. By that time the Yankees were suf ficiently subdued, although they did manage to kayo John in the eighth. Reggie Jackson broke John’s shut out in the seventh with a leadoft homer — his sixth homer in four Series games — and the Yanks added two more in the inning when, after Lopes’ errant flip to second on Chris Chambliss’ infield grounder, Fred Stanley moved the two Yankee baserunners up on an infield out and Bucky Dent singled them home on a line single over shortstop. Singles by Roy White and Jackson gave indication that John was tiring in the eighth and he wasn’t helped when shortstop Bill Russell un corked a wild throw back to the mound. Munson scored on rant toss and a single by Ci ties brought in Piniella to 10-5 and finish John. Tem, however, slammed the doc Yankees by blanking themili the way. “Things got sloppy a t admitted John. “But that’,, a game in which you havea I was arm weary. Tin not big on complej anyway.

They had so little experience at their posi tions. “We knew we had a group of men that indicated they wanted to play good defense and they’ve gone out and done it.” In doing so the Aggie defense ranks as one of the nation’s best, al lowing 5.3 points and 160.3 yards average per game. Against Texas Tech last week Texas A&M’s de fense had its worst game of the sea son, giving up 147 yards rushing and 143 yards passing. Still, the defense held Tech with out a touchdown, allowing only three field goals. That makes a string of 14 straight quarters the opposition hasn’t crossed the goal line against the Aggies. “This past week we (the defense) played better than we have all sea son,” Bellard continued. “We were put into a situation early in the ball game where we had to put it all to gether to keep everything stable. And we did it, only giving up the two field goals (in the first quarter). “Keeping them out of the end zone is the determinant if you’re playing good defense or not. You can throw statistics out the window because they really don’t determine who wins or loses. And this defense isn’t as good as it’s going to be. They’re maturing, becoming more knowledgable, with every test they’re getting. And not just one part of the team is improving but all phases.” Bellard cited individual players who had outstanding games for the Aggies Saturday, including Jacob Green at defensive left end, Darrell Smith at left cornerback, Russell Mikeska at tight end and the entire Aggie backfield of Mike Mosley, David Brothers, Adger Armstrong and Heisman Trophy candidate Cur tis Dickey. “Jacob Green really had his motor running in Saturday’s game,” Bel lard said. “He was all over that foot ball field. But he’s played well every week for us this year. He’s made a bucket full of big plays for us. “Darrell Smith just has an instinct for playing defense. He needs it since he hasn’t been playing it too long. We moved him to corner- back in spring as an experiment and he fit in so well he stayed there as a starter. He’s adapted and he’s work ing well for us back there.” The Texas A&M offense needs lit tle explanation of the performance it’s turned in this season. Run by Mosley at quarterback with Brothers at fullback and Armstrong and Dickey at halfback, the offense is averaging 485 yards per game while adding 42.5 points per outing. “David Brothers had his best game of the year Saturday against Tech,” Bellard praised. “He’s get ting settled at the fullback position and he’s begun playing like it. “And Adger has been really humming out there. I don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but he’s been blocking exceptionally well all year. On Mosley’s 64-yard touchdown run Adger had Tech’s defensive end’s feet up over his head after he made his block on him. “And there’s little more I can say about Curtis. We don’t have to do too much about pushing him for the Heisman Trophy, he’s doing a pretty good job himself. His per formances will bring him his recog- o ■■ ■' nition. He was named l] tional Back of the Week lx hasn’t been named Southi ference Back of the Week that’s strange.” The Aggie offense, w aged 64-yards per touchi against Tech, rolled up2£ the first half Saturday bii was held to 18 yards in 8i Dickey exploded in the ter for 117 yards on nine “I thought we moved tin in the first half,’ Bellard only thing that stopped us own turnovers. We just Curtis’ number as much it: half as we did in the si "On the option play its nerback decision on whole the first half he was play so Mike kept the hall for dage. If he’d rather have 64 yards than Curtis, that’s us.” Dennison j3MeiaiQi(3i©i©MaidbMrJ^ % :
