SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rick
Reuschel telegraphed his first
pitches on Thursday but Houston’s
hitters couldn’t crack the code.
The major-league leader in victo
ries with a 12-2 record threw first-
pitch strikes to all but two of the 28
oatters he faced, combining with
newly acquired Steve Bedrosian on a
2-0, four-hit shutout for the streak
ing San Francisco Giants over the
Astros.
The Giants’ fifth straight victory
was aided by Will Clark’s homer and
Steve Bedrosian’s second save for his
new team. It was their second shut
out in a row over the Astros and con
cluded a three-game series sweep.
“My zone for the first pitch is over
the middle of the plate, knee-high,”
said Reuschel, who scattered four
hits, walked one and struck out two
in 7 1-3 innings and won his ninth
straight decision. “It doesn’t always
work. But usually if I get ahead, I
have a better day than if I get be
hind.”

The sweep closed out a 10-2
homestand, the first time in 23 years
the Giants won 10 games on a home-
stand. The last time, in August 1966,
they needed 15 games to do it.
Reuschel, who wasn’t bothered by
the unusual 93-degree heat at Can
dlestick Park, is a primary reason for
the June success. He allowed just 17
hits and two walks in 26 1-3 innings
over three starts on the homestand,
"He spots his ball better than any
one In the league," said Terry Puhl,
who had one of Houston’s four hits.
"He’s the epitome of a pitching
coach's dream the way he gets ahead
of the batter, mixes nis speeds and
gets lots of grounders and popups."
Bedrosian got the last; live outs for
his eighth save of the season, He's
now 2-for-2 since being traded to the
Giants from Philadelphia on Sun
day.
He took over after Reuschel ag
gravated a groin strain and left after
throwing just 66 pitches. Manager
Roger Craig said his 40-year-old ace
will not miss a turn in the rotation.
“He’ll tell you himself, it’s amaz
ing what happens when you throw
strikes,” Craig said. “And he keeps
the ball down. He very seldom
throws the ball above the belt.”
Clark gave the Giants a 1-0 lead in
the first inning with a 425-foot
homer to straightaway center, his
12th of the season, off Jim Clancy, 5-
5.
“Everybody’s contributing,” Clark
said. “On this homestand we didn’t
score that many runs, but it was
more than enough with the pitching
that we had.”
San Francisco scored an unearned
run in the sixth inning on Brett But
ler’s bunt single, a pair of ground-
outs and Craig Biggie’s passed ball.
Reuschel got into a bases-Ioaded
jam in the seventh on two singles
and shortstop Jose Uribe’s two-out
error but Biggio flied out to end the
threat. He left in the eighth when
third baseman Ernest Riles’ error
gave the Astros a baserunner.
Pat Sheridan, acquired from De
troit last Friday, tripled for the Gi
ants in the fifth for his first National
League hit,
Clancy, who lost his personal
four-game winning streak, gave up
four nits and one earned run in
seven innings. He struck six and
walked four.
“I felt I pitched pretty good ex
cept for the mistake to Clark, which
was a hanging slider,” Clancy said. “I
tried to take something off the pitch
and it didn’t work well at all.”
Houston is to 2-7 on its 13-game
road trip and dropped four games
behind the first-place Giants m the
NL West. The Astros scored just two
runs in the series while giving up
nine.
“We’ve had a bad road trip, won-
lost-wise, but we’ve had a chance in
every game we’ve been in,” Astros
manager Art Howe said. “If we had
gotten blown out in three games I’d
be concerned. The sad part is we
wasted good pitching.”
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Ok
lahoma regents hired Gary Gibbs as
the Sooners’ new football coach
Wednesday as university officials
denied a published report that a
pending lie-detector test and a drug
investigation involving a former
coach may have played a part in
Barry Switzer’s resignation.
“I can assure you there has been
no request made of him (Switzer) to
take a polygraph test," Interim Pres
ident David Swank said.
Swank and attorney Andy Coats,
the university's outside counsel, said
they knew nothing of polygraph
tests the Dullas Times Herald said in
a copyrighted story were planned
for Switzer and assistants as part of a
report required hecaus the football
jjro^ram is on probation by die
The Times Herald said the test
was part of an internal investigation
conducted by the university. It said
the test of Switzer was canceled
when the outgoing coach told uni
versity officials last Friday that he
was quitting on Monday.
Switzer was out of town Wednes
day and unavailable for comment.
In addition to hiring Gibbs and
approving a salary of $88,000 a year
for him, the regents also approved a
settlement of $225,000 with Switzer
and gave basketball coach Billy
Tubbs a $1,000 raise to an annual
salary of $88,000.
The $88,000 for Gibbs is $1,000
more than Switzer made. Both
Tubbs and Gibbs also receive $5,000
annually for expenses. The length of
Gibbs’ contract has not been deter
mined.
The settlement included a
$145,000 lump payment to Switzer
on June 1, 1990. It also provided
that Switzer would be paid a salary
of $7,250 a month until that time.
Until Feb. 1, Switzer is to be on “spe
cial assignment” with the school, but
his duties were not outlined.
Switzer resigned Monday after six
months of turmoil which saw the
Oklahoma program wounded by a
three-year NCAA probation and
five players charged In incidents in
volving guns, drugs and sexual as
sault, Switzer had Tour years left on
his rollover contract.
Swank called the settlement with
Switzer "abundantly fair considering
the contributions he has made to the
university and the state."
The newspaper said the drug in
vestigation involves Scott Hill, who
resigned under pressure in March.
Hill had been responsible for coach
ing running backs and recruiting
high school players since 1977.
The Times Herald said it was be
lieved that Switzer knew of an FBI
drug investigation that could impli
cate Hill.
Athletic Director Donnie Duncan
told the Associated Press he was un
aware of a drug investigation involv
ing Hill.
Duncan said as far as he knew,
Switzer’s resignation was based on
the reasons he gave at Monday’s
news conference. Switzer said he felt
it was time for new leadership for
the Sooners and that he was drained.
“My conversation with Barry was
that he had made a decision that he
was going to resign. I really didn’t
consider it appropriate to delve into
all the reasons,” Duncan said.
Duncan said his conversation with
Switzer last week did not include any
references to any new negative
events affecting the Sooner football
program, such as a drug investiga
tion,
The newspaper said Hill knew the
investigation was nearing an end
and that FBI agents believe he
would have told Switzer, possibly
providing a catalyst for Switzer's res
ignation decision.
As to the newspaper's report of
the lie-detector test in connection
with the NCAA report, Coats said he
knew of no such a test.
‘Tm sure I would know about it if
it was connected with the NCAA in
vestigation. I can’t imagine a context
in which that would happen.”
He also said the university’s re
port was completed and was sent to
the NCAA by June 1, but the news
paper said Oklahoma had been
granted an extension.
One source told the newspaper
that FBI agents, led by the same in
vestigator involved in the under
cover case leading to the arrest
Thompson in February, were “get
ting close” to concluding their inves
tigation of Hill. Their findings
would then go to the U.S. attorney in
Oklahoma City.
