PITTSBURGH (AP) — Doug
Drabek provided the Pittsburgh Pi
rates with some arms control of their
own Wednesday night to send the
National League playoffs back to
Cincinnati.
Drabek allowed two runs and
seven hits in eight-plus innings as
tire Pirates beat the Reds 3-2 in
Game 5. Bob Patterson came on with
one out and runners on second and
Pats’ Dykes,
Friar involved
in club fight
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A
scuffle outside a nightclub Wednes
day left New England Patriots wide
receiver Hart Lee Dykes hospitalized
with an eye injury and teammate Ir
ving Fryar with a weapons charge.
It was unclear what started the
early morning fracas, but Fryar filed
a police report that said he was hit
over the head from behind while try
ing to help Dykes.
Fryar’s attorney, Peter DiBiase,
said the wide receiver was walking to
his car outside Club Shalimar
around 1:20 a.m. when he noticed
Dykes arguing with some people.
He said a witness told police some
one was “needling Dykes about how
poorly the team was doing,” but po
lice would not confirm that.
Fryar looked again and “at that
point (Dykes) was lying in the street
and there were four or five people
assaulting him,” DiBiase said.
Fryar went to help Dykes, also a
wide receiver, and was hit from be
hind. “He knows that he was hit with
an object, not a fist,” DiBiase said.
He said a witness told police that
Fryar “was hit with a bat or a bat-like
object.”
Witnesses told police Fryar ran to
his car, grabbed a 9mm Smith &
Wesson handgun, put it in his boot
and returned to the scene, according
to the police report.
It said he pointed the gun at peo
ple who “scattered and fled in all di
rections.”
Police questioned a suspect but re
leased him pending further investi
gation, said Major Milton Wilson.
Fryar, who required stitches to
dose a gash on his head, was
charged with carrying a gun without
a permit, a felony. , u
“He does have a t Massachusetts
permit, however it is not valid under
certain conditions,” said Capt. Ber
nard Gannon. “This is not one of
them.”
third and, after an intentional walk,
got a double play to end the game.
The best-of-7 series resumes Fri
day night at Riverfront Stadium with
Cincinnati needing one victory for
its first NL pennant since 1976.
The NL winner, of course, will
have the honor of trying to knock
off the Oakland Athletics. All the de
fending World Series champions
have done is win three consecutive
American League pennants and 10
straight postseason games.
If history is any indication, the Pi
rates may have the Reds right where
they want them. In the 1925 and
1979 World Series, Pittsburgh tra
iled 3-1 and came back to win both.
Drabek, looking for his second
complete game of the series, gave up
a leadoff single in the ninth to Paul
O’Neill, and Eric Davis followed with
an infield single off the third base
bag. Hal Morris sacrificed the run
ners to second and third and Patter
son relieved.
The Pirates intentionally walked
Chris Sabo to load the bases. Jeff
Reed then hit into a 5-4-3 double
play, started by Bobby Bonilla, to
end the game.
Ump ejects Bosox’s Clemens
Pitcher kicked A’s
out after cursing
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —Bos
ton’s Roger Clemens flamed out
of the AL playoffs in a rage
Wednesday, cursing and scream
ing in frustration at the home
plate umpire after getting thrown
out in the second inning of Game
4.
Clemens stood on the mound,
preparing to pitch and swearing
at home plate umpire Terry Coo
ney when Cooney bolted from be
hind the plate and said he’d had
enough abuse.
Cooney signaled the disbeliev
ing Clemens out of the game.
Boston manager Joe Morgan
charged Cooney from the dugout
and Clemens had to be re
strained. Reserve infielder Marty
Barrett also rushed out from the
dugout and was ejected. Boston
players tossed two coolers and a
garbage bin from the dugout
onto the field.
John Peale, a film messenger
for The Associated Press who was
located directly behind the
backstop, recounted this ex
change that led to Clemens’ ejec
tion:
Clemens: You son of a bitch.
You don’t know where the strike
zone is.
Cooney: What?
Clemens: I’m not talking to
you. You son of a bitch.
Then followed a stream of
other profanities before Cooney
tossed Clemens.
Clemens, pitching on three
days rest despite a bout with ten
dinitis that has plagued him the
past month, threw hard but had
trouble with his control before he
was ejected.

four hits in the opener, took a two-
hit shutout into the ninth. He left af
ter a leadoff double by Ellis Burks
and an RBI single by Jody Reed, yet
still beat Boston for the 10th straight
time, including six victories this year.
Rick Honeycutt ended it quickly t
getting Wade Boggs to ground into a
double and retiring Mike Greenwell
on a grounder.
Actually, the end came sooner,
only it wasn’t officially listed that
way.
Clemens, perhaps the most domi
nant pitcher in the majors this sea
son, had shut out Oakland for six in
nings in the opener, but left with a 1-
0 lead.
In this game, he got into trouble
right away, giving up a single to
Rickey Henderson to start the game.
He got out of that, but Carney Lans-
ford and Terry Steinbach singled
with one out in the second and Mark
McGwire had an RBI grounder.
Then, all hell broke loose.
After missing on a close 3-1 pitch
to Willie Randolph, Clemens began
yelling at Cooney. The umpire took
off his mask and, as Boston manager
Joe Morgan ran onto the field, Coo
ney made the sign of an ejection.
Clemens, however, did not seem
to realize that he was the one who
was gone. But after another minute,
he caught on and charged the plate.
A few Red Sox players, coaches
and Morgan tried to intercept Clem
ens, but he pushed past and even
shoved an umpire in an attempt to
get Cooney.
In the meantime, two water cool
ers and a trash bin full of bubble
gum and sunflower seeds got tossed
onto the field from the Boston du
gout, and Marty Barrett and coach
Dick Berardino got into a brief skir
mish.
Ousted Clemens
gives cap to fan
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
Roger Clemens, ejected fromt
Game 4 of the AL playoffs on
Wednesday for cursing at home
plate umpire Terry Cooney, gave
his cap as he left the park to a 60-
year-old Oakland fan who’s ridi
culed the Boston right-hander
for seven years.
“We’ve been feuding for
years,” said Bob Northrup, of
Napa, Calif. “He’s thrown coffee
and Kool-Aid on me before. Oh,
he’s been so angry at me, he’s
wanted to whip me.”
But Wednesday, as he was
given a police escort from the du
gout to the clubhouse, Clemens
stopped and turned around. He
walked over to Northrup, gave
him his cap, and walked away
from an appreciative, clapping
crowd. The fans were chanting,
“We want Clemens! We Want
Clemens!”
But Northrup had his own
piece of Clemens.
“Actually, he was never
friendly to us before until yester
day (Tuesday),” Northrup said.
“He stopped and talked to me. I
told him I have tickets for tomor
row, so go out and win the game.
He signed a ball for me. Until
that time, we were adversaries,
more so than any other player in
the American League.”
“We’ve called him Butterbutt,
Crisco Kid, and Fat-in-the-Pan,”
said Ernie Nagy, who sits next to
Northrup.
“I yelled at him as he was walk
ing by (after the ejection),”
Northrup said, “and I said,
‘Lousy call, good game!’ He went
about 10 or 15 feet, turned
around, and gave me his cap.”

Continued from page 9
Whatever was said, one thing is
sure: the Clemens’ punishment did
not fit his crime. Clemens was wrong
in saying what he did. But Cooney
was wrong for taking this important
of a game into his own hands. Down
three games to zero, Clemens was
Boston’s last hope in the ALCS.
Common sense says that Cooney
should have issued Clemens a
warning, not an ejection. That
should have calmed the pitcher
down and would have allowed the
game to continue to be what it was: a
dassic duel between two of baseball’s
greatest pitchers.
If I was a baseball fan and paid
$35 to see Stewart vs. Clemens, Td
be very disappointed to end up
seeing Stewart vs. Bolton. Or
Stewart vs. the Red Sox bullpen,
which is what it turned out to be.
Clemens’ ejection took the life of a
dose ballgame. Instead, everyone
was buzzing about Clemens.
Former catcher Tim McCarver,
whose major league spanned two
decades, said a player shouldn’t be
ejected unless he shows the umpire
up,i.e. jumping up and down,
shouting in his face. He said that as a
catcher, he would question tne
umpire’s calls 10 times a game and
never got ejected.
But times, sadly, have changed.
Umpires used to be the grandfathers
of baseball. They’d let players get
whatever gripes they had off their
chest, then walk away. After all, what
good does a player’s complaint really
do anyway? When was the last time
anyone saw a call reversed because
someone like a Roger Clemens
didn’t like it?
Now umpires have become
baseball’s brats.Denkinger sat there
on national television and turned
red as he tried to rationalize a man
like TerryCooney mistaking his job
as umpire for God. Umpires don’t
have to take abuse like that,
Denkinger said, and Cooney was
absolutely correct for what he did.
The only problem is, he wasn’t. A
warning could have produced
another ending to the game,
although we’ll never know. As it is,
the A’s advance to the World Series
for the third year in a row. But their
four-game sweep over the Red
Soxnow has an imaginary asterisk to
it, and Clemens and company will
have to wait until next year.
Rues’ Perkins says team
to still play conservatively
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Conser
vative offensive strategy helped
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to
their best start in 11 years, and
coach Ray Perkins says he’s not
going to change his philosophy
just because it didn’t work against
the Dallas Cowboys.
“We try to do things in the way
that wins the game,” Perkins said
after Sunday’s 14-10 setback
dropped the Bucs (3-2) out of a
tie for first place in the NFC Cen
tral Division.
“So I’m not going to stand here
and try to answer questions about
why we don’t throw it more, why
we don’t run it more, why we
don’t blitz ... I’m not a star guy. I
don’t care about stats.”
An improved running game
was instrumental in back-to-back
victories over the Detroit Lions
and Minnesota Vikings that
helped Tampa Bay to a 3-1 start
— the club’s best since a 5-0 get
away in 1979.
On Sunday, Vinny Testaverde
attempted only five passes in the
first two quarters — three of them
on third down — and the Bucs
trailed 7-3 at halftime. The NFL’s
top-rated quarterback finished
with 13 completions in 21 at
tempts for 194 yards with a sizea
ble chunk of that coming on Gary
Anderson’s catch-and-run on a
58-yard scoring play.
“Any time you throw the ball
five times in the first half, it’s
going to look like you’re throwing
it more in the second half,” Testa-
verde said. “Even if you only
throw it six times.
“But in the passing game, there
were holes there in their defense
that would’ve enabled us to throw
the ball a little more,” added Tes
ta verde, who’s thrown for seven
touchdowns with only two inter
ceptions this season.
