Leonard, KC trounce
Boston in 6-2 victory
United Press International
Dennis Leonard finally got
the breaks.
In a heartening perform
ance, the Royals’ veteran right
hander fired a solid seven in
nings in a 6-2 victory over the
Boston Red Sox at Kansas City,
Mo., Monday night.
Leonard missed 16 starts last
season with fractured fingers on
his pitching hand after being
struck by a line drive, and had
worried about his future. But
when he was able to throw an
effective hard slider, his con
cerns were eased.
“I may have concentrated
more on it this spring,” he said.
“When you break your fingers
like that, you want to prove to
yourself that you can still get
that breaking pitch over. I’ve got
more confidence in that pitch
now than I’ve had in a long
time.”

LOS ANGELES — Bill Rus
sell has been to the top and to the
bottom in his 13 years with the
Dodgers. Monday night, he vi
sited both places in the same
game.
Early in the game, a Russell
error set up a Houston run, and
the Dodger Stadium crowd
booed the veteran second base-
man. But it was Russell’s bases-
loaded squeeze bunt that drove
in Derrell Thomas with the win
ning run in the 11th inning to
give Los Angeles a 4-3 victory
over the Astros, keeping Hous
ton winless this season.
Russell’s game-winning hit
came off reliever Dave Smith,
the fourth Astro pitcher. Smith
relieved loser Julio Solano, 0-2,
who set up the Dodgers’ winning
rally by walking Thomas and
wild-pitching him to third. Sola
no then walked Steve Yeager
“With runners at third and
less than two out, I look for the
squeeze from (manager) Tom
my (Lasorda),” Russell said. “He
likes to do that, especially with
me at the plate. It was a fastball
right down the middle. In that
situation, the pitcher has to
throw strikes.”

Goalies in Stanley Cup spotligh
United Press International
It’s been an unwritten rule in
previous Stanley Cup competi
tion that the team with the best
goaltending usually wins the Na
tional Hockey League cham
pionship.
If that trend continues, either
the Boston Bruins or Buffalo
Sabres should emerge with pro
fessional hockey’s most trea
sured prize.
Those two teams have been
getting the best goaltending
since the post-season competi
tion began and now Pete.Peeters
of Boston and Bob Sau ve of Buf
falo go head-to-head in the
quarter-finals of the Cup com
petition, beginning Thursday
night at Boston.
Peeters, who had the most
victories, most shutouts and
lowest goals against average in
the league during the regular
season, has continued his bril
liant play in the post-season
competition. He allowed eight
goals in four games as Boston
eliminated Q ue bec in the
Adams Division semifinals and
was nothing short of spectacular
in Boston’s 2-1 clinching victory
Sunday, stopping 39 shots.
“It’s as good an effort as I’ve
ever seen from any athlete in
any sport,” said Boston captain
Wayne Cashman of Peeters’ per
formance. “It’s incredible.”
Sauve has been even better in
Cup action so far. He surren
dered only two goals in three
games as the Sabres swept Mon
treal, and he posted oack-to-
back shutouts in the Montreal
Forum in the first two games.
“It started with the goaltend
ing,” Buffalo Coach Scotty Bow
man said. “Bob Sauve was great.
Our young guys found out what
a close-checking game will do.”
“Our series against the Sabres
is going to be a very close one,"
Boston’s Ray Bourque said.
“They will be ready for us and
we are going to have to be more
physical against them.”
Boston defeated Buffalo, 3-1,
last year in the Adams Division
semifinals in the first playoff
meeting between the teams.
In other best-of-seven playoff
action beginning Thursday
night, Edmonton plays)
Calgary, the New Yorl
tiers entertain the Net
Rangers and Chicagopfc

Watson closed to two strokes
at the eighth hole when he sank
a 25-foot eagle putt. But Wat
son, another two-time Masters
champ, then had a string of
three straight bogeys and
although he closed to three back
when he birched the 13th, it was
all over when he took a double
bogey at 14.
“The 14th sealed my coffin,”
Watson said. “The lights went
out for me. As I said earlier in
the week, 1 had to play my best to
win and I didn’t play my best."
Watson, with a 73, and Floyd,
who had a 75, tied for fourth,
five shots behind Ballesteros.
Hale Irwin had a 69 Monday
and Stadler a 76 and they wound
up in a tie for sixth at 286. Lanny
Wadkins (7 1), Dan Pohl (71) and
Gil Morgan (74), who led at the
end of the rain-delayed second
round, were at 287 and the only
others under par for 72 holes.
