(AP) — Clyde Drexler’s two free throws with 2.1 seconds left Thursday night cli maxed a dramatic series of turn arounds in overtime and gave the Portland Trail Blazers a 106-105 vic tory over the Detroit Pistons and tied the NBA Finals at 1 -1. Portland survived an onslaught of six 3-pointers by Detroit’s Bill Laim- beer, including three in the first overtime in the championship series since 1984. There were three lead changes in the final 9.6 seconds. Buck Williams gave the Trail Blazers a 104-102 lead with two free throws before Laimbeer, who scored 26 points, came back with his sixth 3- point field goal with 4.1 seconds re maining fora 105-104 Pistons lead. Dennis Rodman then fouled Drexler with 2.1 seconds left and he swished both to give him 33 points for the game. The Trail Blazers had a foul to give and they used it with 1.2 sec onds remaining, forcing another in bounds play by the Pistons. Detroit’s James Edwards, who scored 26 points, missed a hurried baseline shot as time expired. The best-of-7 series moves to Portland for the next three games, giving the Trail Blazers a chance to win their second NBA title without returning to the Palace. The Trail Blazers, who won their only title in 1977 with Bill Walton at center, are 9-0 at home in the play offs. The loss was Detroit’s first in 11 home playoff games and the Trail Blazers have beaten the Pistons 20 consecutive times in Portland since Oct. 19, 1974. The sixth and seventh games, if necessary, would be back at the Palace. Detroit, which rallied from a 10- point deficit with seven minutes left to win Game 1, trailed by six points after three quarters Thursday night, but came back strong again in the fourth period. A&M Consolidated rally falls short, ousted from state tourney Photo by Mike C. Mulvey Consolidated’s Konrad Harms (16) tries to console teammate David Bogart (3) after the Tigers 7-6 loss to Robstown. AUSTIN (AP) — Robstown lost a 5-0 lead, then rallied on a two-out, two-run single by Domingo Garza in the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday for a 7-6 victory over A&M Consolidated in the Class 4A semifinals of the state high school baseball tournament. Robstown advanced to a Friday championship game against Car thage, which beat Andrews 7-1 on a three-hit pitching effort by Robin Trimble, who also drove in two runs on a groundout and single. Trailing 5-0 after three innings, A&M Consolidated scored three runs in the fourth on a two-run triple by Andy Deuel, who scored on a groundout. A&M had single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh, going ahead 6-5 on Lee Fedora’s triple and a RBI fly ball by Brian Johnson. Robstown won the game by scor ing twice on a walk to Lee Roy Gon zalez, a single by Robert Cervantes, an infield single by Rey Gonzalez and Garcia’s slicing line drive that centerfielder David Bogart could not grab after a long run. Bogart turned face down on the ground and his teammates ran to console him. The winning pitcher was J.J. Ve lasquez, 13-3, who pitched two outs. The loser was Ray Kavanaugh, 4-2, who had shut out Robstown for four innings before Garcia’s winning hit. Robstown’s victory improved its record to 30-6 record, while A&M finished its season at 23-9. In pitching Carthage past An drews, Trimble pushed his season record to 16-0, striking out seven and walking seven. Brent Leffingwell, 15-4, was the loser, leaving with none out in the third inning and the score 3-0. Second baseman Terrance Goree had a third-inning triple that drove in a run and a third-inning double that led to another run. Trimble was removed with two outs and two runners in the seventh inning. Reliever Jerome Jones, who had played third, got the final out. Andrews’ only run came in the first inning on a walk, stolen base and Leffingwell’s two-out single. The Mustangs left 11 runners on base. Carthage extended its record to 29-5. Andrews was eliminated with a 22-8 season record.

Some conference officials would prefer to ponder a different ques tion: What would the conference be like with Louisiana State and Okla homa? Faced with the prospect of losing Arkansas to the Southeastern Con ference, officials at some Southwest Conference schools are encouraging the league to fight back. “There are some schools on our borders that might find it appealing to come here,” Baylor football Coach Grant Teaff told The Houston Post. “I can see the possibility that LSU and Oklahoma might be interested in coming in.” “I’ve said all along we ought to go after LSU and Oklahoma,” said Houston athletic director Rudy Da- valos. “We’re stupid to just lie down and let people come in and start leople people away. Added Texas’ Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds, “We’ve said all along that if somebody moves, we’re going to take a look at what the options are after that. Those are options.” Southeastern Conference presi dents voted last week to expand by two schools. Arkansas, a charter member of the Southwest Confer ence, was mentioned as a possible target of Southeastern Conference expansion. “I think Arkansas is very serious,” Teaff said. “And it’s obvious the Southeastern Conference is very se rious about them. From a geo graphic standpoint, it’s something Arkansas would have to look at.” Douglas ^,9 Pils Sports Writer irilli New breed of Reds poised to recapture magit A hroughout the annals of time, history often has repeatec itself.

Now, much to the demiseol the National League, Cincinnatti’s Big Red Madiintiij the 1970s is being succeededbji| new breed of Cincinnati Reds. With a little over a fourth of is season completed, Cincinnati, with the best record in baseball and a seven game lead in the Western Division, enters a weekend series with Houston. The 90s version of the Reds has been built in much the same way as the 70s version —a si nucleus made up of home-gro\w talent with a few key trades toat the right chemistry. Like days gone by During the 70s, the Reds averaged 95 wins a season, produced six MVPs and wontwii world championships. Only ok; did they finish below second in i the division. The dynasty was built front ■ within. Players like Hall of Fantf Johnny Bench, first baseman Tony Perez, shortstop Dave Concepcion, Ken Griffey Sr.aK Pete Rose were the Reds’ aces Key trades brought George Foster from the San Francisco | Giants, Cesar GeronimoandHt of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan from the Houston Astroi This lineup, along with some solid pitching, dominated the National League and reached the pinnacle of success by repeating I as world champions when they i- swept the New York Yankees? the 1976 World Series.
