HOUSTON (AP) — Mike Scott,
the National League’s Cy Young
Award winner, and major league
manager of the year Hal Lanier of
the Astros received their awards
Thursday night at the Houston
Baseball Dinner.
The Houston Athletic Council,
which sponsors the annual dinner,
also honored American League Cy
Young Award winner Roger Clem
ens of the Boston Red Sox for his re
cord-setting 20 strikeout perfor
mance last season against Seattle.
Scott became the first pitcher to
throw a pennant-clinching no-hitter
Sept. 25 when he blanked San Fran
cisco and gave the Astros their sec
ond Western Division title.
Scott, 18-10 last season, led the
major leagues with 306 strikeouts
and a 2.22 earned run average. He
became the fourth pitcher in NL his
tory to surpass the 300-strikeout pla
teau.
Scott had 10 or more strikeouts in
10 games and set a personal high of
14 against San Diego on Sept. 14.
He said he had not thrown a pitch
since a post-season exhibition tour in
Japan.
“I’ll just start working now with
the light weights and concentrate on
April 6 (the season opener),” Scott
said.
Young Award earlier, had an equally
glittering performance in winning
the American League honor.
Clemens started the season with
14 straight victories and finished
with a 24-4 record to lead the AL in
victories. He was only the third
pitcher to win the award unani
mously.
Clemens also became the first
starting pitcher in 15 years to win
the AL Most Valuable Player Award.
Lanier made an immediate im
pression on the Astros, taking them
from also-ran status to the Western
Division crown in his first season as
manager.
Lanier put 20 years of playing and
managing experience to work, and
the Astros jumped out with a record
14 victories in April and were con
tenders the rest of the season, clinch
ing the title Sept. 25 with Scott’s no
hitter.
“Last year maybe I saw some
things in our players that others
didn’t see,” Lanier said. “That’s why
I thought we would win more games
than others were predicting for us.
“It’s going to De hard to repeat,
but we just plan to deal with the posi
tives from last season and not let that
worry us,” Lanier said.

QUEBEC (AP) — After winning a
fast-paced thriller against the Sovi
ets’ best, what can the NHL All-Stars
do for an encore? Play again tonight,
which they will do.
“This series is not over yet,” said
Edmonton’s Mark Messier, voted the
star of the game after Wednesday
night’s dramatic 4-3 victory over the
Soviet Union’s national team in their
two-game Rendez-Vous 87 series.
“Friday’s game is a big test. We
will have to be more prepared be
cause the Soviets will be more pre
pared.”
Game One. “We couldn’t put a game
plan together.”
In this series involving many of
the world’s greatest hockey players,
the NHL team beat the supposedly
superior Soviets largely on emotion.
This translated into a big de
fensive effort against what many
consider the best hockey team in the
world.

It was a lack of preparedness that
cost the Soviets the first game,
according to Soviet Coach Victor
Tikhonov.
“We didn’t know what the NHL
was going to do,” he said in assessing
On Wednesday night at Le Col-
isee, the All-Stars played a disci
plined defensive game, picking up
men all over the ice and jamming
them into the boards.
That will be the best way to beat
the Soviets Friday night, too, the
NHL players agreed.
“With your face against the glass,
it’s hard to make a good play,” said
Montreal’s Rick Green, who repeat
edly slammed Soviet forwards to the
barriers Wednesday night.
Despite all that jamming, the con
test night was relatively anger-free.
There were no fights, and only five
penalties were called. Four were
called against the All-Stars by Soviet
referee Nikolai Morosov for hook
ing. The only penalty called against
the Soviets was by NHL linesman
Ronn Finn.
Morosov had been criticized in the
past for prejudicial officiating, but
NHL players did not think that was
the case Wednesday night.
“I thought the officiating was
fair,” said Philadelphia’s Dave Pou
lin, who scored the winning goal.
In the past 11 years, the Soviets’
record had been 33-16-4 against
NHL teams prior to the Rendez
vous series.
