Associated Press
Astros 4, Braves 2
ATLANTA — Houston reliever
Dave Smith said he did not have “a
lot of stuff’ when he entered the
game with the bases loaded in the
eighth inning Sunday.
“At least not the kind of stuff to
blow three men away with,” he said.
But he did have enough to blow
away one man, and that’s all he
needed to preserve a 4-2 victory for
the Astros, enabling them to take the
Atlanta Braves series 2-1.
“1 had never seen him before,”
Smith said of Atlanta catcher Rick
Cerone, who is playing his first sea
son in the National League. “So I
threw him a change up, a fork ball.”
Cerone hit the ball to third base-
man Denny Walling, who stepped
on third for one out and threw to
first for an inning-ending double
play that allowed the Astros to es
cape a bases-loaded jam for the sec
ond straight inning.
Left hander Bob Knepper, 1-0,
hurled the first six innings for the
Astros to gain his first decision in
three starts. He said he was pleased
with having struck out Atlanta slug
ger Dale Murphy twice.
“Everybody has been talking
about how well he hits me,” Knepper
said. “So instead of pressuring up
for him, I just relaxed. I struck him
out the first time with a sinker away,
and the second time with a ‘mistake
pitch’ that fooled me and him and
even the umpire who made a de
layed call.”
Knepper gave up only four hits in
six innings, and Jose Cruz got three
hits to lead the Houston attack.
Cruz’ three hits, two hits by Denny
Walling and four errors by the
Braves were enough to let the Astros
hand the Braves their sixth defeat in
nine home games.
The Astros got a run in the first
inning after Walling and Cruz got
consecutive singles off Atlanta

Leagues
starter Len Barker, 0-1. Walling
took third on Cruz’ single and
scored on a wild pitch by Barker.
Houston scored three more runs
in the third after Knepper led off
with a walk and went to third on a
throwing error by Brad Komminsk,
who attempted to double Knepper
off first after catching Bill Dolan’s
looping liner to shallow left field.
Kevin Bass singled Knepper
home, and after stealing second,
scored on a double by Walling. Cruz
then singled to drive home Walling.
Until the sixth, the only hit
yielded by Knepper was an unpro
ductive double by Chris Chambliss
with two out in the second. But
Glenn Hubbard opened the Braves’
sixth with a single and pinch-batter
Terry Harper then hit his first home
run of the season, a drive over the
left field fence.
Rangers 5, Brewers 2
MILWAUKEE — Don Slaught
entered the game hitting only .250
for Texas, so when he nit his first
home run of the year and singled
twice, it was indicative of how the
Rangers pulled together to sweep a
three-game series with the Milwau
kee Brewers.
“The longer we play together the
more we are going to play like a
team,” Slaught said after the Rang
ers finished up the weekend series
with a 5-2 victory Sunday.
“Our pitchers have really been
doing a job this last week, and our
hitters are now coming around and
scoring some runs for them,”
Slaught said.
Third baseman Buddy Bell, who
contributed two RBIs toward the
support of Texas pitchers Mike Ma
son and Dave Stewart, threw out two
Brewer runners on a pair of diving
stops that impressed Milwaukee
manager George Bamberger.
“Bell made a couple of excellent
plays that probably cost us a couple
of runs,” Bamberger said. “There is
nothing you can do about it.”
“Everybody has been contribut
ing,” Bell said. “When that happens,
you don’t feel you have to take it all
on your own shoulders, not only me
but everybody.”
“When everybody is contributing,
it makes it a lot easier,” he said.
Texas took a 1-0 lead against Mil
waukee starter and loser Ray Burris,
1-2, in the third inning. With one
out, Toby Harrah walked and Gary
Ward singled him to third. Bell fol
lowed with a single to left, scoring
Harrah.
Slaught slammed his first homer
of the year with two outs in the
fourth, and Cliff Johnson hit an
other two-out solo shot, his third, in
the sixth, giving Texas a 3-0 lead.
The Rangers added two runs in
the seventh after Harrah led off with
a walk and moved to second when
Ward grounded out. Harrah scored
on another single by Bell,
Pete O’Brien walked, Larry Par
rish singled and Bell scored when
O’Brien was caught in a rundown
between second and third.
Mason, 2-1, scattered three hits
through seven innings before being
touched for two runs in the eighth.
Randy Ready led off with a double
for Milwaukee and, one out later,
Paul Molitor and Robin Yount fol
lowed with consecutive singles, scor
ing Ready.
Dave Stewart relieved Mason and
was greeted with an RBI-single by
Cecil Cooper before settling down to
get the save.

‘Bear’ it
and grin
By CINDY GAY
Sports Writer
The guys and gals of Aggie track
rounded the green to gain the gold
at the Baylor Invitational this week
end.
Rod Richardson carried the colors
out in front for the men’s track team
in the 100-yard dash with a time of
10.23 seconds, a new meet and sta
dium record. Richardson broke the
old record that he tied in 1983 with
Carl Lewis’ 1980 performance of
10.24.
The 440-yard relay team qualified
for the NCAA championships by
breaking the tape behind only Bay
lor with a time of 40.02 seconds.
Lawrence Mitchell, Tony Grier, Dar
rell Austin and Richardson made
their debut appearance for the sea
son this week, and their handoffs
lacked the efficiency they hope to
gain in the weeks of practice ahead.
In the 880-yard relay, the same
fearsome foursome, with the excep
tion of Tommy Alsbrooks running
instead of Mitchell, had to settle for
second after the Bears once again
when Richardson eased up at the
finish due to a sharp pain in his leg.
Ethan Glass, skyed 6 feet, 11
inches to win and then took three
shots at 7-4, but couldn’t quite make
the height. Glass then jumped an
unofficial fourth time at 7-4 and
cleared with ease.
“He proved to himself that he
could do it,” said Nelson.
Ernie Mendez tied for second in
the high jump at 6-8. Chris Walker
and Kurt Thome proved they could
both get a long with jumps of 24-11
3/4 and 24-7 1/2. Walker won the
event, Thome placed third, and
Francisco Oliveras was seventh with
a personal best long jump of 24-1
1/2. Oliveras went two steps farther
to take second place in the triple
jump with a length of 51 -8.
Rickey Alexander strided over
110-meters worth of hurdles in
14.02 seconds to place third, while
Huey Treat endured the Waco
winds in the 5,000-meters to finish
seventh in 14 minutes, 47 seconds.
The Aggie two mile relay team of
Kendric Wesley, Arturo Barrios,
Sean Stone and Maurice Holt kept
the baton aloft for eight laps to come
in third with a time of 7 minutes, 37
seconds.
The women’s track team collected
its largest total of high place finishes
in the Baylor meet, with Debby Noel
winning the 3,000-meters in 9.55
minutes, followed by Beth Drees
who ran a third place time of 10.06.
Judy Williams was second at the
end of 400-meters with a time of
55.5 seconds, and Esther Dedrick
clicked of her best 1500-meter time
to place sixth in 4.38.
