Astros triumph 5-4 to take 3-game lead THE BATTALION Page 11 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1980 United Press International HOUSTON — Reliever Joe Beck with’s throwing error to third base on a sacrifice bunt attempt allowed Cesar Cedeno to score from second base with the winning run in the 12th inning Tuesday night and gave the Houston Astros a 5-4 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cedeno, who went 5-for-5 with an intentional walk and two RBI, opened the 12th off reliever Beck with, 3-1, with a double into the left field comer. Art Howe was inten tionally walked and Beckwith fielded pinch-hitter Craig Reynolds’ bunt down the third base line and threw wildly into left field. Frank LaCorte, 4-0, pitched hit less relief over the final 2V3 innings to pick up the triumph. Joe Morgan’s fifth homer — his first in the Astrodome this season — tied the score against reliever Steve Howe in the ninth inning after pinch hitter Reggie Smith’s two-out, run scoring single in the eighth inning had given the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. A pair of throwing errors by start ing pitcher Nolan Ryan, four hits and a pair of walks produced three early runs for the Dodgers, but the Astros came back to tie the score behind the hitting of Cedeno, who drove in a third-inning run with a single and tied the score 3-3 in the fifth with an RBI double. The victory gives the Astros a three-game lead in the National League’s Western Division over the Dodgers. Houston now has a 41-25 record, the second best record in baseball.

John Whisenant, an assistant coach who left UNM after the 1978-< 1979 basketball season to enter pri vate business, was indicted with his former head coach, Norm Ellenber- ger, in a scheme to falsify transcripts of basketball players. Ellenberger, who was fired as coach shortly after the UNM sports scandal broke late last year, was ac quitted last Friday following a week- long trial at Roswell, N.M. “The acquittal of Norm Ellenber ger makes it unlikely that the federal prosecution of Mr. Whisenant would result in a conviction,” said U.S. Attorney R.E. Thompson. “For that reason, I have concluded that the federal charges against John Whise nant should be terminated at this time.” | w diamond brokers international, inc. w I 693-1647 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 ift ift LAKE VIE W on VI Battalion Classifieds Call 845-2611 ^iimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiimimmimiiimimiiimmiiiimiiiiiiiE I WE’RE PROUD TO AKRTOUISCE 1 = a brand-new addition to our customer 5 1ft 2 MILES NORTH ON TABOR ROAD VI ft. ■V. 1ft VI ft.
