Angels rally for 8-7 victory
Rangers blow another one
Knepper pitches Astros
to 3-0 win over Giants
United Press International
HOUSTON — Adversity seems
to bring out the best in Houston
Astros pitcher Bob Knepper.
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.
