Net vs. baseline
Gerulaitis to face surprising Wilandeikm
Bench’s error paves
Phillies’ victory path
United Press International
In a game in which throws
kept winding up where they
didn’t belong, all Johnny Bench
did was follow the trend.
“We got the out we wanted,”
Cincinnati Manager John
McNamara said Monday night
after a throwing error by third
baseman Bench with two out in
the 15th inning gave the Phi
ladelphia Phillies a 5-4 victory
over the Reds in a game marred
by a bench-clearing brawl.
“Johnny just didn’t make the
play.”
Bob Dernier led off the 15th
with a single off loser Bob Shir
ley, 2-3, and Pete Rose sacrificed
him to second. After Mike
Schmidt was walked intentional
ly, Gary Matthews sent Dernier
to third with a flyout.
Manny Trillo then hit a
grounder to Bench, whose low
throw bounced past First base-
man Dan Driessen to make a
winner of Sid Monge, 2-0, who
pitched the final 1 'A innings.
Trillo barely beat the throw to
the plate from right fielder Paul
Householder to score the tying
run.
Driessen drove in three runs
with two homers to help the
Reds to a 4-0 lead.
In other games, New York de
feated Atlanta 10-4, San Diego
outlasted Chicago 9-7, Los
Angeles topped Pittsburgh 5-4
and St. Louis crushed San Fran
cisco 11-6.
In the American League, it
was Toronto 5, New York 4;
Baltimore 8, Texas 7; Detroit 4,
California 3; Cleveland 9, Min
nesota 4; Boston 5, Oakland 2;
Kansas City 11, Chicago 4; and
Seattle 5, Milwaukee 4 in 11 in-
“It was a real team victory,”
said Philadelphia Manager Pat
Corrales. “Everybody played a
role.”
Philadelphia, which entered
the ninth with only one hit, ral
lied to tie the score.
The fight came in the seventh
when Phillies’ reliever Ron Reed
drilled Mario Soto with a pitch
after the Reds’ starter had hit
Schmidt and Dernier with
pitches.
“I honestly believe there is a
time when retaliation is
needed,” Reed said. “I don’t
know that Soto was throwing at
our players, but he hit two of
them.”
nings.
Mets 10, Braves 4 — At New
York, Charlie Puleo allowed six
hits and struck out 10 in 7% in
nings and catcher John Stearns
drove in three runs to spoil the
return of Atlanta Manager Joe
Torre. It marked Torre’s first
appearance at Shea Stadium
since he was fired last season af
ter five years as the Mets’ man
ager.
Padres 9, Cubs 7 — At Chica
go, Tim Flannery drove in three
runs and Ruppert Jones and
Sixto Lezcano each homered for
the Padres. Chris Welsh, 3-1,
pitched the first 6‘/s innings and
drove in two runs. Luis DeLeon
picked up his second save. Doug
Bird, 3-5, suffered the loss.
Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 — At
Pittsburgh, Mike Scioscia, who
had a second-inning solo homer,
and pinch hitter Ken Landreaux
each hit eighth-inning sacrifice
flies to break a 3-3 tie. The vic
tory went to reliever Steve
Howe, 3-1, who pitched the
seventh in relief of starter Ted
Power.
Cardinals 11, Giants 6 — At
St. Louis, Ozzie Smith, Willie
McGee, and Tito Landrum
drove in two runs apiece in a
10-run fourth for the Cardinals,
who sent 15 batters to the plate.
It was their biggest inning since
July 17, 1980, and the biggest in
the league this season.

PARIS — Fifth-seeded Vitas
Gerulaitis of the United States
must draw on his experience
and speed today if he’s to defeat
Sweden’s Mats Wilander in the
quarterfinals of the French
Open tennis championships.
Wilander, 17, put his name in
the spotlight in the fourth round
with an upset victory over No.
2-seed Ivan Lendl, who was con
sidered one of the favorites to
win the world’s premier clay
court tournament.
The 27-year-old Gerulaitis,
whose lightning-fast serve and
volley game has made him a
crowd pleaser on the profession
al circuit for seven years, has
reached the final in four out of
five Grand Prix tournaments
this year.
Runner-up to Sweden’s
Bjorn Borg here in 1980, Geru
laitis is shooting to capture his
first Grand Slam title since the
Australian Open in 1977. This
year, he beat Wilander in Bus-
sels.
“I’ll try to do my best, but all I
can do is take it as it comes,”
Willander said after his stun
ning 5-set triumph over Lendl.
The quarterfinal match pits
the net game of Gerulaitis
against the hard-driving base
line shots of Wilander, heralded
as the new Borg of tennis for his
style of play as well as his nation
ality.
The womens quarterfinals
will see another seasoned player,
Martina Navratilova, pitted
against the raw enthusiasm of a
virtual unknown, American
Zina Garrison.

round match.
Winner of the French Open
junior title last year, the tall
Swede’s toughest problem
against Gerulaitis will be to play
with the steadiness of a seasoned
player.
Also vying for a spot in the
semifinals are seventh-seed Pe
ter McNamara of Australia and
Argentine Jose Luis Clerc,
seeded No. 4.
Both players have struggled
through four- or five-set
marathon matches and could be
fixed on setting a new record for
the longest Grand Prix match.
McNamara broke the record
two weeks ago in Hamburg
when he lost in five sets to
Spain’s Jose Higueras in a final
which lasted five hours and 20
minutes.
