The umpire didn’t find one, but Sutton got so incensed he lost his concentration and then the game. The 5-2 triumph Wednesday gave the Padres one victory in the three-game series. “It was a ball game I deserved to lose be cause I pitched stupidly,” Sutton said. “I was stupid to get angry with Montefusco, and I rZ I was ut there to win a ball game. I’ve been losing my concentration in games over the past three to four weeks.” Montefusco doubled off Sutton after the incident. The hit started a four-run inning that sparked the San Diego Padres on to the victory. “I’ve never seen Sutton blow up like he did,” said Montefusco. “I asked the umpire to check a scuff mark on the ball. It seemed like Sutton iaiy (juiii wantec j to show me he was mad at me rather f I vet e and II o thejokj is as ft 1 can, e« with G than trying to pitch to me. I know what it means when you get upset and lose it out there.” Montefusco, now 9-6, overcame a shaky start to pick up his first complete-game victory of the season. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and allowed two runs in the second. However, he retired 21 of the next 22 batters en route to a five-hitter. “It’s the first time I’ve gone nine innings in three or four years, and I feel great.” he said. “I had a lot to prove this year. It was a do or die year for me in baseball.” The Astros took a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Terry Puhl’s two-out single drove in Alan Ashby, who had walked, and Dickie Thon, who had doubled. In the sixth, after Montefusco doubled down the left-field line, Gene Richards singled the pitcher to third. Richards then stole second as Tim Flannery struck out. Don Sutton Haynie, Garner favorites in Boston Five tourney United Press International DANVERS, Mass. — Sandra Haynie was inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame in 1977 — the same year she came close to retiring from golf. Five years la ter, she’s playing as well as at any time in her 22 years on the tour. Haynie, now 39, headed a field of 113 which began play today in the $175,000 LPGA Boston Five Classic, at the Rad- disson Ferncroft Country Club. Haynie, No. 2 on the money list with nearly $209,000, is the hottest player on the LPGA cir cuit. In her last five starts, she has back-to-back victories at Rochester, N.Y., and the Peter :) Jackson Classic as well a: second-, third- and fourth-place finish. “I’m concentrating more and I’m a much more solid player,” she said Wednesday after a prac tice round at the par-72, 6,008- yard layout. “This year has been more rewarding and enjoyable than the other 17.” Haynie’s statistics say this is her 22nd year, but she considers it her 18th. She all but quit the tour after the 1976 season, com peting in only one event in 1977, three in 1978, six in 1979 and seven in 1980. ,Last year, playing in 25 tour naments, she won the Henredon Classic in North Carolina and earned $94,211, good for 13th on the money list. But in three less events this year, she has more than doubled that. “This year has been unbeliev able,” she said. “I feel real good about the way I’m playing, though I am a bit tired. But once that adrenalin gets going, you forget you’re tired.” With top money-winner Sally - Little bypassing the event, * Haynie rates as one of the favo- ^ rites.
