Page 12/The Battalion/Monday, October 7, 1985 TANK MCNAMARA® by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds Cowboys stand taller than Giants Associated Press Angels close ’85 season like ’84, defeat Rangers Associated Press ARLINGTON — Mike Witt, who ended the season on a winning note for the second straight time against the Texas Rangers, said he has two things to dwell about over the win ter: • First of all, he failed to exceed his 1984 win total of 15 games. • And most of all, Witt said, the California Angels came up one game short in their bid for the American League West title. “It’s hard to look at the season as successful when the team lost,” he said after the Angels downed the Rangers 6-5 Sunday. Witt, who struck out 13 batters in seven innings, hurled a 1-0 perfect game against the Rangers in Arling ton on the last day of the 1984 sea son. He said the perfect game “was at the back of my mind.” Angels Manager Gene Mauch said the win was a small consolation for the second-place club. “You take what’s left,” Mauch said. “If it’s fun for them (the play ers), then that’s Fine.” Rufino Linares hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to key the California attack. Linares’ shot over the 40Q-foot marker in center field scored Rob Wilfong and Devon White, who had both singled off loser Rich Surhoff, 0-1. Luis Sanchez pitched the last two innings for California and recorded his second save. Darrell Miller hit a two-run homer for the Angels and Pat Keedy added a solo homer for his first ma jor league hit. Along with his personal-high 13 strikeouts, Witt, 15-9, walked two Other Sunday games: (Home team in capitals) AMERICAN LEAGUE Detroit 11, BALTIMORE 3 New York 8, TORONTO 0 Milwaukee 9, BOSTON 6 CHICAGO 3, Seattle 2 Oakland 9, KANSAS CITY 3 MINNESOTA 4, Cleveland 2 NATIONAL LEAGUE Montreal 2, NEW YORK 1 PHILADELPHIA 5, Pittsburgh 0 Chicago 8, ST.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Danny White shredded the New York Giant defense for three touch down passes and Rafael Septien booted a game-winning 31-yard field goal with 2:19 to play as the Dallas Cowboys edged the Giants 30- 29 in a National Football League game Sunday night. White connected with Mike Renfro on touchdown passes of eight and 24 yai*ds and hit Tony Hill on an 18-yard strike as Dallas raised its record to 4-1. The game-winning field goal was set up late in the fourth quarter when Gene Lockhart recovered a Phil Simms fumble at the New York 19. Dallas gained five yards in three plays and then called on Septien, who had missed four field goals in five attempts last week. The Giants, now 3-2, had rallied from a 14-6 halftime deficit to grab a 26-14 lead as Simms connected on three third-quarter touchdown passes. However, White rallied the Cow boys, driving them 65 yards in five plays to cut the gap to 26-21. The touchdown came on the 24-yard throw to Renfro. Dallas then got field goals of 22 and 29 yards from Septien on its next two possessions to grab a 27-26 lead. But the Giants came back one more time, driving from their 9-yard line to the Dallas 30, with Simms hit ting passes of 23 yards to Rob Car penter and 29 yards to Phil McCon- key. The drive stalled at the Dallas 30 and rookie Jess Atkinson, who earlier had missed an extra point, booted a 47-yard field goal with 4:57 to play. The Giants then held Dallas, only to have Simms fumble as New York tried to run out the clock. amounting to 188 yards, both of which were team records. Eleven of the infractions produced first downs for Denver-—an NFL record. After a Rich Karlis field goal, the Broncos went on top 10-0, capitaliz ing on pass-interference and off sides penalties against the Oilers. Sammy Winder’s 1-yard run pro duced the TD. Early in the second period, Tonv Zendejas kicked a 27-yard field goal, but Denver countered with an 81- yard, four-play drive. The score came when Elway pitched back to Winder, who handed off to Butch Johnson on an apparent reverse. Johnson, however, flipped the ball back to Elway, who passed downfield to Watson for the TD with 4:10 left in the half and a 17-3 lead.
