Page 10 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1981 Astros lose again, 5-2 United Press International HOUSTON — The Houston Astros were supposed to be get ting the kind of pitching the Los Angeles Dodgers are and for the Astros the situation is getting wor risome. “If we can push them back eight, nine games,” Davey Lopes said, “no matter how early it is, it’s not going to be easy to make up.” Houston outhit the Dodgers 11-9, but the Dodgers bunched key hits after some of the eight walks issued by three Astros pitch ers to win 5-2. Residence-Hall Association Prsents Steve Garvey’s two-run single and Ron Cey’s run-scoring single in the first inning, before anyone was out, followed three walks by Joaquin Andujar. Astros manager Bill Virdon, said, “Our problem is hitting, not pitching.” Through 10 games, however, the Astros’ starting staff has been unstable with J.R. Richard still shelved, Nolan Ryan hurt and neither Don Sutton nor Bob Knepper pitching well.

Seko wins Boston Marathon Zimmer said all the Rangers’ problems began after Allenson was hit on the head at bat by a pitch from Texas starter Doc Medich, 1-1. “It seemed that when Medich hit Allenson everything blew apart. It seemed that everything started after that,” Zimmer said. After the blow, Allenson was sacrificed to second by shortstop Glen Hoffman, advanced to third on Rick Miller’s infield out and was singled home by Jerry Remy. To make Zimmer’s day complete, Evans followed by mashing Medich’s first pitch into the left- field screen for a two-run homer. United Press International BOSTON (UPI) — There was the acceptance of defeat for Bill Rodgers well before the finish with the unfamiliar rear view of others battling it out for the title he wanted so desperately. By the time he passed his run ning-goods store in Cleveland Cir cle, 4 miles from the finish line, Rodgers knew his bid for an un precedented fourth straight Bos ton Marathon victory was over. Less than a minute earlier, Toshihiko Seko had moved into the lead in, ironically, the same spot. The Japanese clerk then simply outran runner-up Craig Virgin to win Monday in an Amer ican record time of2:09:26, a mere second better than Rodgers’ 1979 time. And with the defeat ended any hope Rodgers might have of be coming the only man to win four straight Boston Marathons. The race that catapulted him to inter national stardom also dealt him an historical double-whammy. His record, and his string, are gone. “I could see Seko and Virgin battling it out and I thought they were going to pull away,” said Rodgers, 33, who finished in 2:10:34. “I thought then it would be interesting to see who (Seko or Virgin) would win.” The 24-year-old Seko remained back in the pack for the first two- thirds of the race while un heralded rabbit Gary Fanelli of Oreland, Pa., set a blistering early pace in the favorable, cool, run ning conditions. Greg Meyer, who used to woi(jJ at Rodgers’ store, held the le^a briefly before Seko and Virgin, the American recordholder at 10,000 meters, took over on the Newton hills. Seko quickly lost Virgin, who eventually finished 60 seconds off the pace, and had nothing but police motorcycles for company the final mile. He has not lost a marathon since that cool, drizzly April day two years age^when Rod gers set his then-American re cord. “I’m sorry I broke the record,” Seko apologized to Rodgers through an interpreter in the post race news conference. “I didn’t really have any plan. I just went at my own pace. I knew where he (Rodgers) was and I was just fol lowing the crowd.” As convincing as Seko’s record setting victory was, it almost paled in comparison to the mark estab- lished by New Zealand’s Allison Roe, who won the women’s divi sion. The 24-year-old secretary, who has been running marathons only one year, smashed the Bos ton record by nearly eight seconds in winning in 2:26:45. Only the incomparable Crete Waitz of Norway has run a women’s marathon any faster— a 2:25.42 time last October in New York. Patti Catalano, the prohibitive pre-race favorite, finished Boston second for the third straight year, this time in 2:27:51 — nearly two minutes better than her previous best. “I never had the lead at all — not until the end,” Roe “What I had planned was and go with the leaders til 18 to 20 miles, but Patti got from me at the halfway sort of pulled her (Catalano) about 2 miles to go.” The Association of Baptist Students will be present C.D.
