The San Francisco Giants col lected nine hits Sunday, but were frustrated by Knepper and Frank LaCorte who combined to strand 12 men on base in leading the Astros a 3-0 win. “We had a lot of chances but couldn’t get anyone home,” said loser Doyle Alexander, 8-7. It was the second straight shutout suf fered by the Giants with Alexan der on the mound. “Sometimes that happens,” he said. Houston catcher Alan Ashby said the win was of typical of Knepper, now 8-3. “He seems to pitch best when he’s in a problem situation,” said Ashby. “He was not getting hit all over the place. He’d just get into a bind and pitch like crazy. He has the ability to get a popup or a strikeout when he needs it. ” Manager Bill Virdon agreed. “When he had to reach back, it seemed like he could and his con trol seemed better too,” Virdon said. Knepper, acquired by Hous ton from the Giants, allowed six hits and walked three in seven in nings, retiring the side in order only in the first. LaCorte, credited with his fifth save, allowed three hits. “I got tired in the last inning and wasn t cutting loose and easy, ” said Knepper, adding “I learned a while ago that wben I’m tired to get out of there.” The win marked the 11th straight at home for the Astros, lifting Houston to 22-11 on the second season for a three-game edge over second-place Los Angeles. Houston opened the scoring in the first inning. Phil Gamer reached on a fielder’s choice and Jose Cruz singled to put runners on the corners. With Denny Wall ing at bat, Alexander threw a low and inside pitch that escaped catcher Bob Brenly to allow the run to score. United Press International ANAHEIM, Calif. — Eight- game losing streaks aren’t easy to break. Just ask the California Angels. The Angels, proving they couldn’t cope with prosperity, blew a 6-0 lead Sunday against tbe Texas Rangers and then had to battle back for an 8-7 triumph in 12 innings. The victory was marred when Angel first baseman Rod Carew collided with Bill Sample in the top of the 12th and was carried from the field on a stretcher. Carew suffered a mild concussion. “He has a sore shoulder but they don’t see any lack of mobili ty,” Angel Manager Gene Mauch said after doctors had examined Carew. “You sure don’t see that many plays in baseball where a guy gets bit like that.” Sample also appeared injured but was able to walk off the field. “I’m still dizzy and my neck is sore,” he said after the game. “I really don’t remember the play.” Neither could Carew, Mauch said. “He can’t remember Campy (Angel third baseman Bert Cam- paneris) throwing the ball,” the Angel manager said. Carew was run over by Sample while jumping for Campaneris’ high throw. The Rangers rallied from a 6-0 deficit with a single run in the fifth and a four-run sixth to chase Mike Witt. Mauch thought Witt was pressing too hard to break the team’s losing skein. “If our record had been normal instead of what it is (12-19 for the second season) Witt would have pitched much better,” he said. “He may have been going a tad too hard trying to put a stop to this nonsense.” Juan Beniquez’ sacrifice fly scored Dan Ford from third base in the 12th inning to give the Angels the win. Ford opened the 12th with an infield hit off loser Steve Comer, 7-2. Comer wild-pitched Ford to second and Bobby Grich’s groun der moved him to third. After an intentional walk to Ed Ott, Beni quez flied to right to allow the run to score easily and make a winner of Steve Renko, 6-4, who pitched three scoreless relief innings. Mauch was asked why he elected to leave Beniquez, who entered the game batting . 184, in the game in the 12th inning in stead of using Fred Lynn as a pinch hitter. “At 9:30 a.m. Lynn was sche duled to start but by 10 a. m. it was obvious he couldn’t,” Mauch said of Lynn who has been hobbled by a sore left knee. “I didn’t consider hitting for him (I quez). He’ll be in there as kj Lynn is unable to play.” The Angels built a 4-0 lead the first inning on a three homer by Don Baylor and shot by Grich. California toucsj starter Ferguson Jenkins for more runs in the fourth, incli Beniquez’s second homer. Pat Putnam doubled and on Johnny Grubb’s single in fifth. Putnam singled in one and Mark Wagner singled in more runs as Texas scored unearned runs in the sixth. Hayes watches Buckeyes play for the first time since 1978 United Press International COLUMBUS, Ohio — Woody Hayes came home over the weekend, but few people knew of his presence. Hayes, 68, was one of 87,000 fans at Ohio Stadium Saturday who watched Ohio State defeat Duke 34-13. Hayes coached Ohio State football teams for 28 years before being fired in December 1978 for slugging a Clemson play er in the Gator Bowl. He never attended an Ohio State game after that until Satur day when, for the most part, he sat alone in an unused radio booth in the press box. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Hayes said. “I’d liketoseeiiii another touchdown and away. The Buckeyes, leading2M the time of Hayes’ conn scored on the next play and was it for the Blue Devils, DIETING? In the seventh, a single by Reynolds and a run-scoring, pinch double by Danny Heep upped the Astros’ advantage to 2-0. Reynolds drove in a run with an infield hit in the eighth and relief pitcher Al Holland and catcher Milt May were ejected from the game for arguing the call at first base.
