Pitching, Boone’s RBI bring 2-1 victory
Angels inch past Texas
TANK MCNAMARA
United Press International
Solid pitching performances
Tuesday night by Geoff Zahn
and Doug Corbett, backed by
good defensive play, carried the
Angels to a 2-1 victory over the
Rangers at Arlington.
Zahn, 9-3, went 6% innings
and combined with Corbett on a
seven-hitter to help the Angels
to their 13th triumph in their
last 17 games.
“I think I was fortunate the
guys made the plays behind
me,” Zahn said of his infielders.
“My pitching wasn’t real pretty.
I was fortunate to get ahead of
the hitters when I needed to.”
Only seven balls were hit out
of the infield by the Rangers and
of the seven batters Corbett
faced, he produced six ground-
outs.
Bob Boone singled home
Doug DeCinces from second
base in the fifth inning with what
proved to be the winning run.
“We had two or three chances
to make an easy game of it, but
we didn’t,” Angels’ Manager
Gene Mauch said. “When we
didn’t, the pitching made what
we had on the scoreboard suf
fice.
“And the infield play on the
left side of the diamond — that’s
worth going to the ballpark for.”
Texas took a 1-0 lead in the
third inning on an RBI single by
Billy Sample, but the Angels tied
the score in the fourth when
Don Baylor singled, moved to
second as Reggie Jackson
walked and scored on a double
by Fred Lynn.
Despite the loss, Medich
seemed encouraged by his per
formance.
“This was the best I’ve felt all
year,” he said. “I was hoping
we’d tie it up and play some
more. I could have gone all
night.”

Italy upends Argentina 2-1
but now must face Brazil
United Press International
MADRID, Spain — Four for
mer champions saw World Cup
soccer action Tuesday and the
one thought least likely to suc
ceed emerged as tne only
winner.
Argentina lost its grip on the
crown when Italy, which had
struggled through three match
es in the earlier round, recorded
a 2-1 victory in a bruising battle
in Barcelona that will be remem
bered more for its temper than
the quality of play.
And in Madrid, England and
West Germany played typical
European soccer but were un
able to break a scoreless tie after
90 minutes of end-to-end play.
Action will resume Thursday
when Austria meets Northern
Ireland at Madrid and Belgium
takes on the Soviet Union at Bar
celona.
Back home in Italy, followers
of the “Azzuri” danced in the
streets and police reported traf
fic was nearly brought to a
standstill in Rome when th£ final
whistle sounded several hun
dred miles away in Barcelona.
The celebrating may have
been premature because Italy’s
next opponent is Brazil — and
the even-money favorites are
unlikely to be in a charitable
mood as they seek to get a step
closer to a fourth championship.
Italian coach Enzo Bearzot,
who was subjected to the most
scathing attacks in the Italian
press when Italy could only tie
Poland, Cameroon and Peru in
the first round, was simplyjubi-
lant.
“In the three first-round
games,” Bearzot said, “Italy was
equally as good but lacked scor
ing power. This time we pro
duced good play and scored two
goals.”
Argentine coach Cesar Luis
Menotti was hardly gracious in
defeat.
“I believe that we were deeply
influenced by the fact Italy
didn’t attempt to create a game,
that Italy was extremely lucky
with its first goal and that
Argentina played most of the
game in Italy’s half without the
luck it needed to win,” he said.
In the past, the Argentine
coach claimed Italy was not a ba
lanced team and he saw no
reason to alter that view.
“I still hold the same opinion
— I simply believe that Italy was
very lucky,” he said.
Argentina’s destiny is now out
of its hands. Its only chance,
albeit a slim one, is to beat Brazil
and then see the three-time
champions take out Italy.
Brazilian coach Tele Santana
said he now considers Argentina
his most dangerous rival.

and more.
“Now the Argentines will
come after us with everything
because only a victory will pre-
mit them to classify.”
Italy opened the scoring in
the 56th minute on a goal by
Marco Tardelli, and when Anto
nio Cabrini scored 11 minutes
later, Argentina had one foot on
the plane back to Buenos Aires.
Skipper Daniel Passarella pul
led one back with seven minutes
remaining on a blazing freekick,
but Argentina was fortunate the
goal was permitted to stand be
cause the Italians, including
goalkeeper Dinzo Zoff, clearly
were not ready.
The tackling by both teams
was particularly heavy, and in
some cases downright mean.

ATLANTA — Though he
took a while, Glenn Hubbard
couldn’t have picked a better
time to get his second game
winning RBI of the season.
“It’s the first one I’ve had
since day one of the season,” said
the Atlanta second baseman af
ter his one-out, llth-inning
single gave the Braves a come-
from-behind 6-5 victory over
Houston Tuesday night.
“I was just hoping to hit the
ball hard,” added Hubbard. “He
(Mike LaCoss) got a slider up
and I hit it in the gap. I haven’t
been frustrated. I think I’ve
been playing good and hitting
the ball well. There just haven’t
been that many (game-winning)
opportunities for me.”
The victory kept the Braves
2!/2 games in front of San Diego
in the National League West.
Hubbard’s hit climaxed a big
comeback for the Braves, who
trailed 5-0 in the sixth inning.
With one out in the 11th, pinch
hitter Rufino Linares singled,
went to second on Brett Butler’s
infield hit and scored on Hub
bard’s drive to left-center.
Atlanta scored two runs off
Houston starter Joe Niekro in
the sixth on consecutive two-out
singles by Claudell Washington,
Dale Murphy and Bob Horner
and a wild pitch. Then, they
racked two Houston relievers
for three runs in the seventh to
tie the game, with the big blows
being Hubbard’s two-run single
and Washington’s RBI single.
Both Hubbard and Washing
ton had three hits in the game.
“We played badly the first
part of the game,” said Braves’
manager Joe Torre. “We didn’t
get good pitching.”
The Astros got five runs off
Atlanta starter Bob Walk in
seven innings but A1 Hrabosky
and winner Steve Bedrosian, 4-
1, didn’t allow a hit over the final
four innings.
“Hrabosky has been great,”
said Torre. “Bedrosian, after he
finally found the plate, threw
great.”
