Lonborg's

One -Hitter

Evens

Series

BOSTON (R)--Jim Lonborg flirt-
ed with a perfect game and wound
up with a one-hitter, and Carl
Yastrzemski slammed two elec-
trifying homers yesterday to even
the World Series with a 5-0 Boston
victory over St. Louis in the rain-
spattered second game.
A tense crowd of 35,188 thrilled
to Lonborg's brilliant pitching that
awoke memories of Don Larsen's
perfect . game for the New York
Yankees in the 1956 series.
Not a man reached base and 19
Cardinals had been retired in or-
der until Curt Flood finally walk-
ed on a 3-2 pitch with one out in
the seventh.
The no-hitter still was alive into
the eighth when a light shower
and sudden dark clouds forced the
lights to be turned on. By this
time, the game had been locked up
by Yastrzemski's second homer,
a three-run 430-foot blast into the
bleachers for a 5-0 lead.
On the Mind
Lonborg, over-aware of the no-
hit possibilities, was working with
a blister on his right thumb, both-
ering his breaking ball and curve.
A rousing cheer arose when Tim
McCarver grounded out to second

base. The noise mounted when
Rico Petrocelli, a demon in the
field all day, tossed out Mike
Shannon.
The air went out of the no-hit
balloon when Julian Javier slashed
a double into the left field corner.
But Lonborg never missed a stride.
He blew down ° pinch hitter Bob
Tolan to complete the eighth and
knocked off the Redbirds, one-
two-three in the ninth.

BOSTON RED SOX PITCHER JIM LONGBORG swings for a third strike and the bat flies out of
his hands during the sixth'inning of yesterday's second World Series game. The Red Sox right-hander,
however, had much more control on the mound, as he allowed the St. Louis Cardinals only one hit
while his teammates, led by Carl Yastrzemski's two homers, pounded out five runs. The near no-
hitter evened the Series at one game apiece as the two teams take today off to travel to St. Louis
for the third game.
