Rangers score
late to win 9-4
United Press International
OAKLAND, Calif. — How
many times have you heard a
coach say, “He’s the kind of player
we would like to make try and beat
us?”
Texas’ Bill Stein is just such a
player and, unfortunately for the
Oakland A’s, he did beat them.
Stein ripped a high fastball
from reliever Jeff Jones into the
bleachers for a three-run homer in
the ninth inning to highlight a
seven-run rally that powered the
Rangers to a 9-4 victory over the
A s Wednesday night.

T knew when I hit it, it was
out,” Stein said of his second hom
er of the season. “My only concern
was that it would stay fair.”
Stein’s homer hugged the left-
field foul line, eluding the glove of
outfielder Rickey Henderson,
whose spectular defensive play
had robbed the Rangers of two
potential scoring opportunities
earlier in the game.
Jones fell behind on Stein by a
3-1 count before he tried to bust a
fastball down the middle.
“I threw a pitch up and in,’
Jones said. “This is going to stay
with me for a while.”
The late rally made a winner out
of Ranger reliever Paul Comer,
6-1, and tagged Oakland’s Pat
Underwood, 3-6, with the loss.
The A s had entered the ninth
leading 4-2 but then the roof fell
in. Al Oliver ripped an RBI single
after Mark Wagner and Bump
Wills had singled, and Mickey
Rivers walked to load the bases.
Bell then hit a sharp grounder that
went through third baseman Dave
McKay’s legs for an error, bring
ing home the second run.
Stein then ripped his three-run
blast and shortstop Rob Picciolo’s
two-run throwing error closed out
the scoring.

ATLANTA — Phil Niekro
earned his 240th career victory
Wednesday night, but he was
more concerned with the effect of
Atlanta’s 9-0 win over the Houston
Astros.
“The bottom line is we pick up a
game on Houston,” Niekro said of
his eight-hitter. “If we didn’t win
this game we’d be 3*/2 out. ”
The Braves’ record is now IB
IS, which puts them 2Vz games out
of first place behind Houston in
the tight National League West

“When you get down to a

games of the season, ” Niekro said.
“They are very important ball-

Cedeno appeals Nl|
suspension ruling
United Press International
HOUSTON — Houston Astros
first baseman Cesar Cedeno has
appealed his indefinite National
League suspension for going into
the Atlanta Stadium stands and
grabbing a heckler, saying he did
it because his family was there.
“If I had been here alone, 1
probably would not have reacted
that way,” he said Wednesday
from Atlanta.
“But my family is with me on
this trip. Cora has been subjected
to the same language and treat
ment. She was near tears. I don’t
think any man would want to have
his wife hear people call him that.
