Padres defeat Houston
in Dome ‘scuff-le’ 5-2
United Press Internationa]
HOUSTON — Houston Astro pitcher Don
Sutton was breezing along with a 2-0 lead over
the San Diego Padres in the sixth inning when
batter John Montefusco asked the umpire to
check the ball for a scuff mark.
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

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.

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. Thirteen of the top 15’
wage earners are present, in->

After Danny Darwin relieved

Von Hayes then singled home
Harrah to give the Indians a 6-3
advantage.
“When we got those runs it
(victory) was there for the taking
and I really wanted it,” said
Anderson, who allowed three
hits, walked one and struck out
two.
“I had all my pitches going for
me tonight and I threw only two
balls to go 1-2 on Maezilli and I
knew I was going to throw a
strike to get him out in the ninth
and end the game.”
The Indians didn’t get a hit in
the first inning but they man

wild offerings of Medich, whose
