‘Little guys’ come through for O’s
United Press International
mil.AniLmiA — Team
work, a lack oi hcroies, great
starling piteliing. great relief,
unexpected hitting l>y the “little
guys.' sensible managing and a
desire to avoid a repeat of their
H>7t) World Series debacle.
Those were just a lew of the
reasons the Baltimore Orioles
cited for their impressive four
games to one World Series vic
tory over the Philadelphia Phil
lies. capped by a 5-0 triumph
Sunday and a three-ca
-game sweep
at Veterans Stadium.
Catcher Rick Dempsey, the
Most Valuable Player of the
Series because of his unexpected
run production as well as Ins ex
cellent handling of the Orioles’
pitching staf f , cited the pitching
against Phillies’ third baseman
Mike Schmidt, who was I-for-20
in the Series.
“We were determined to
make him hit the hall out of the
park on his own rather than on
our pitching,” said Dempsey,
who was 5-lor-1S in the Series,
with a homer Sunday and a total
of four doubles and two RBI in
the five games. “We tried not to
give him fasthalls out over the
plate. We wanted everything
down and in and we were suc
cessful. Kverybody threw the
hall l ight where I put my glove
— every time.”
winning the “battle of the little
guys.”
But Dempsey also said a cru
cial factor in the Orioles’ four
straight victories after a loss in
Game 1 was a result of Baltimore
“For the first couple of games,
it was the little guys doing all the
producing on both sides,” he
said. “It was really a battle of the
little guys, and we were the ones
who came through. We took all
the pressure off our big guys.
When Cal (Ripken) and Eddie
(Murray) came up today, you
could see they were swinging
free and easy with no pressure
on them, and that’s because we
had come through.”
McGregor and Ken Singleton
cited better teamwork as the big
gest difference between the
Orioles and the Phillies.
“We didn’t rely on just one,
two or three men,” said Single-
ton, who as a displaced desig
nated hitter saw only limited ac
tion. “Each guy in the lineup
knew just what he was going to
do and what each other guy was
going to do.”
Phillies not crushed about Series defeat
United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — One by
one, the Philadelphia Phillies
walked by the corner locker
Sunday night and tried their
best to console an apparently in
consolable Charles Hudson.
Hudson, a 24-year-old rookie
right-hander, gave up three
home runs in the first four in-

nings to Baltimore and that
propelled the Orioles to a 5-0
victory over the Phillies for the
championship of the World
Series.
As Hudson took turns staring
at the carpet and at the hack wall
of his locker, teammate Ron
Reed knelt in front of him and
gave him a pep talk. Then Al
Holland pulled up a chair and
gave him some words of encour
agement.
Finally, Hudson faced a
crowd of reporters and discus
sed the two homer he allowed to
Eddie Murray and the solo shot
hit off him by Series MVP Rick
Dempsey.
“The first pitch to Murray was
a slider up,” Hudson said. “The
second pitch was also up. Eddie’s
a pretty good hitter and the
pitch didn’t fool him. Dempsey
hit a fastball up in the strike
zone. But all my pitches were up,
even the guys who struck out,
swung at pitches that were up.
“This is pretty hard to swal
low. This being my first year,
maybe I wanted it too much.
This would have put a cherry on
everything, coming hack and
winning this game and then
going to Baltimore and winning
two more.
“T here has been pressure on •
me all season long. I really
wanted to win but I didn’t feel
that much pressure at all.”
Murray’s second home run, a
two-run shot off the scoreboard
in the fourth inning, gave the
Orioles a 4-0 lead and that pretty
much sealed the fate of the Phil
lies, who were shut out on five
hits by Scott McGregor and
managed a total of only nine
runs in the Series.
“We didn’t represent the Na
tional League as well as we’d like
to,” said Mike Schmidt, who had
only one hit in 20 at-bats in the
series. “We haven’t been beaten
two in a row in a month and a
half. That team came in and beat
us three in a row at Veterans
Stadium. They did it. They de
serve the credit.”
“We have to pul this behind
us as fast as possible and start to
prepare for 1984,” added bull
pen ace Holland. ,

IT’S OFTEN SAID nobody notices a kicker until hen®

earlier this year tied an NCAA record, and he had hit 1

INTRODUCES...
WALLYBALL IS
HERE!
For all you volleyball and rac
quetball enthusiasts, your sport
has finally arrived. The sport
that combines elements of rac
quetball with volleyball is the
new “off-the-wall sport, Wally
ball. Wallyball is played inside
of a racquetball court with a wal
lyball (about the size of a vol
leyball only softer). The net is
set at 8 feet high and there are
three players on a team. Many
of the rules of volleyball apply
with a few notable excep
tions: you may play the ball off
the walls, you may spike the ball
off of the side walls into your
opponents’ court and the ball is
considered out of bounds if it
hits the back wall or ceiling on a
serve or volley. These modified
volleyball rules make for a very
exciting game of Wallyball with
volleys lasting much longer.
