Angels take command
of league pennant race
Milwaukee Manager Harvey Kuenn says his
$eam is used to having their “backs up
Against the wall”, but this time the blindfolds
ire on and they’ve been asked if they’d like a
ist cigarette.
I “I’m definitely glad we’re going back to
Milwaukee,” said Kuenn, after the Brewers
dropped a 4-2 decision Wednesday night to
;(he California Angels, who now need just
One victory to clinch the American League
Ipennant. “We’ve had our backs up against
[the wall before. I’m still very confident we’ll
win and my players are confident.”
I| Brewers’ third baseman Paul Molitor,
i jrho hit a two-run, inside-the-park homer to
ilccount for Milwaukee’s only runs, went
;itven further.
■ “When you think of it, you have to realize
fjve’re not in an enviable situation,” Molitor
;|aid. “We’ve lost six of of the last seven ball-
games, including the Baltimore series. But
we’re going back home and there’s no
reason we can’t still win this series.”
The best-of-five series resumes Friday in
Milwaukee with lefthander Don Sutton
going for the Brewers, while the Angels will
start Geoff Zahn.
Bruce Kison, 4-0 lifetime in the playoffs,
yielded just five hits in going the distance.
He got a squeeze and a sacrifice fly from
Bob Boone, a home run by Reggie Jackson
and a key single and bunt by Tim Foli.
“For many years I had the fortune to play
with very competitive ballclubs in Pittsburgh
that were involved in pennant races,”
attempting to explain his success late in the
season. “Winning throughout a pennant
race is a team effort. I don’t have a good
answer or else I would apply it to the rest of
the season.”
Jackson, another late-season standout
who has earned the nickname “Mr. Octo
ber” and whose 18th championship series’
RBI gave him the major-league record, said
he’s starting to believe in the name himself.
“I’d like to share the name with the whole
ballclub,” he said. “Come October 15,1 hope
you can name all of us ‘Mr. October.’Just
send me the check.”
Before the Angels prevailed in Anaheim,
the heavens opened up in St. Louis and
forced postponement of the first game in
the National League Championship Series
with Atlanta ahead, 1-0, over the Cardinals
with one out in the bottom of the fifth in-
ning.
The two teams will try to play Game 1
again tonight and the rest of playoff sche
dule will be pushed back a day.
